Now my advice to you, stop. Stop spending money, getting leases, building a studio etc, until you know what you getting yourself into. You have no idea. The questions you are asking above are information you should have researched months before you even think about trying to do something like this not AFTER you signed the lease and committed yourself to a 20K investment. You should be testing out of your home, have the girls you know the best start working on other cam sites out of your home. See how that goes, that they are making good money, work out the kinks, etc. Try running some ads and see what kind of response you get, worst thing you want to do is set up a studio and then realize, oh shit it's harder then I thought to get talent in here. Experiment with generating traffic as an affiliate to other cam sites.

You don't realize it but you jumping in blind without a parachute, which is cool and all if you don't mind wasting your time and money. But if you want a better chance at success, slow down and do it right, no need to risk blowing your money and time if you don't have to.
