Yes, a cam site can not grow slowly from zero (what an urban legend is that?), it must start and keep populated (social = someone there), or it dies. The 6 figure investment from day 1, is to keep online just few models 24/7, they're 150-200 models in shifts, need a $100k/mo earning or models are gone in few days, customers too, and end of site. Only way is start giving models a pay per hour just to sit there and bonuses (in loss for site), and to buy advertising massively to real customer to pay models in place of the site - when it happens, if this keeps up, the site it survived and may be stable. Paying bonus to girl forever or they quit you is however wrong, this is a way to waste money forever, in fact bonuses are at site launch, then bonus or fixed pay must end, but girls to keep in site the same, due to real customers.
This also explains why the big porn sites or dvd producers send their cam traffic to third party cam sites, whitelabels, rather than setup an own cam site (and some who had setup, ended up closing and and switching to whitelabels).
About "I need traffic urgent", if you offer a program with revshare, do not wait for affiliates to send you traffic: the first you will get carders and all fraud guys, to make you chargebacks. I've spotted a Filipino affliate carder yesterday, and a spanish one returned today, 90% of new affiliate signups is a fraudster, its a daily boring job: if you're away a week without checking, you return and got a million dollar fraud sales to pay out, but if you not pay a model "as it is chargeback", your cam site is shitlisted in cam forums as non payer. Again the traffic must be purchased directly, even the biggest programs rely 20% on affiliates and 80% on prepay traffic deals, again needs simply money.
