So I would talk of total money made than ratio simply.
- most people don't understand why cams sell because they would not buy cams as basically it is not logic or worth (for normal people) to spend lots money in cams. This is why majority of people don't spend in cams, but the minority exists and spend enough.
I would also add that since the world wealth seems to be more and more concentrated to 1% of people where 99% are poor, in all countries, those 1% of people are the whales who spend a lot in cams and they will always exist. So cams suffer less from middle class destruction - esp. I would suggest to raise prices per minute  |
Contrary to the twaddle other put out regarding my knowledge of the cam business. I have a lot more knowledge about it than they do. Most of the sites selling cams do nothing but dump 1,000s of people on a bad product in the hope someone will buy.
I've been in many cam studios, met many of the big guys who thought my set up in Czech was ideal for me to run a cam studio, I invested in and they paid for nothing, spoken to countless models and know or knew many cam studios bosses.
The business is,
from what I see, a selection of shops selling the product online via affiliates. These shops have little control, say or investment in the production or affiliates. They're merely middle men selling the product at the retail end. They don't have a lot of skill or experience in running a porn studio, little knowledge in managing porn models and no influence in how the selling or production is run.
Yes there maybe be a few at the top with their own 100% owned dedicated studios. The majority are little more than an affiliate program selling a cheap badly made product from Eastern Europe.
Why? Because there are so many people spending $1,000s on cam models?
The rise in FB types sites is obvious. "Chat" with a real live girl in the US, who is saucy and sexy enough to flirt online.
For Free. Or chat with a girl in Romania, where some of Barry's models are from, and pay for it?
A webcam site that would clean up would be based in the US, in cubicles that didn't look like shit houses and with girls who were really working the crowd. With that it could convert 1-500 of any male traffic. Because if I couldn't sell a sexy chat while a girl the viewer is likely to meet in the US to one in five hundred males. Porn would never be a business. And it must be possible with all the men spending $1,000 on webcams LOL
In fact a site with girls doing this to 100s, keeping their clothes on and paid for by advertising non adult products would clean up. Free to the viewer, girls paid per hour/per viewer and advertising paying for the lot. Fuck Tubes, the guys can watch a real girl who lives in their country and all for free. Takes Social Networking and Tubes to a new level.
Silly me thinking outside the box again. When will I learn just to copy every other broken idea?
