Imagine all development expenses are covered, design and marketing.
Most of them use segpay, ccbill, epoch.
Payment processors take 14.5%
On mfc, cb the girls get 50%, on streamate30%, mygirlfund, 65%, customs4u 70%.
Why are the commissions for the girl different depending on. The sites. What other expenses are to be considered? I mean besides salaries of the owners/ workers, hosting.
What is the industry average net income ?
How can the sites that pay over 65% can make it?

Something to look at with those sites is they have very different business models.
To compete with MFC, Chaturbate, or Streamate, you'd have to do something really remarkable with a heck of a war chest of funding to burn through. Those guys really know what they are doing. Even amongst those sites, you will see very different business models e.g. Free with tips, free with advertising, pay only, female only, female/male/couples, female/male/trans/couples etc. Keep in mind that % here has a complex relationship with scale.
A site like MyGirlFund or Customs4u is much less capital-intensive. Talent can post an offer and they don't have to sit online 24/7 waiting for a customer. So the traffic and models do not have to be as aligned for timing. In addition, you can do thus type of site on a much smaller scale with much smaller start-up costs. Someone using your site could sell Skype shows to be scheduled at a later time. Basically, real time versus time-shifted is where the big cost differential comes in.
When thinking about %, think about how much work you are going to do. The one piec of advice I was given starting out, which I wish I had taken, was don't count your time as free.
