The $100k I wrote per day "or per few hours", depends by site we talk about.
A few million per year is moved by small sites (as mine), imagine the big ones.
Consider a small shop, like any bread or clothes shop, it must sell for a few million per year as minimum to barely stay up as a small family business. Cam sites it is exactly the same, this is not a big amount of money we talk about. Then, even a small supermarket sells for $100k+ a day, to just keep a few people hired and pay rent and merchandise, still owner is not a millionaire at all. People thinking in cam "I sell for $10k a month I made $5k income" are simply naive.
Further, all this relatively easy money from top 3-5 cam sites does are for them only, as an oligopoly based on years of recurring old members. It should be also made clear that except a same dozen of big + medium + small (but not so small) cam sites, who take 95% of all market, all others are doing sort of zero sales and in loss. Do a research and 98% of the new cam sites launched after 2009 it failed, despite some invested multiple $100k's for months before to give up. Non-failed new sites are just 2 or 3 in last 2-3 years, and none is "big". Note myfreecams is there from 2004, if someone wrongly thinks it is new.
