true dat... I have had alot of ups and downs in this biz... I was making $1200/month in the early on with AdultCheck when they suddenly shut down - i freaked... when Yahoo stopped using Google's search results I took a major hit that made me think it was the end...
I've been on top of the world and at the bottom of the barrel during the last 12 years in this biz... but no matter what it beats sitting at a desk 9 to 5 preparing my annual performance review for my boss.
Sex sells and nothing is going to change that. The fun part is the trial & error of finding where the sales are at.

Until girls start giving it away in masses, the webcam site will always do well. You might have a few girls here or there giving it away but most are not attractive, and its not many. Webcams always act as a good upsell to the pictures and videos. Not everyone can afford them but the people who can afford them are usually the ones not satisifed with recorded content or still images. It only takes a couple big whales to = 100 membership site customers.I agree... webcam sites have a clear advantage right now. Porn videos are everywhere. No need for a credit card.
I am going to dive into the webcam business with both guns blazing.
Hell in the past I've dropped serious cash on hookers and hoes for that live experience you just cant get watching a recorded video. So I can relate to the craving for the live experience you get when watching live cams.
Good luck!ICQ: 86364801 Email: will [at] innovativeassets [dot] com

Careful with that.... I remember a thread about a site that paid "for life" and when the affiliate didn't send them traffic anymore for quite a long time, they decided it was time to stop paying the "lifetime" recurring payouts.
Keep sending traffic for life, and that might be more accurate.

I hear ya
Dont get me wrong, its not like I am going to delete all my sites and sell all my domain names.
Its just that when I wake up in the morning I am now thinking about webcams not paysites. I will try to maintain my paysite income but i now see income growth coming from webcams.
No matter what our business has been affected by the credit crunch. Consumers arent getting credit cards as easy and are thinking twice before using them. But that too shall pass. Now is the time to survive and position your business for the next upswing whether it's a year from now or 5 years from now.
Everyone is going thru crap right now. Alot of people walk into their 9-to-5 job these days wondering if today is the day they get a pinkslip. That would make you think twice about putting porn on your credit card at 2 am the night before.

I agree Will... its the natural evolution of porn. You go from loving still images to getting addicted to video. Eventually video becomes ordinary and you want live, interactive stimulation.Until girls start giving it away in masses, the webcam site will always do well.

Hopefully one day soon 3-D technology will take off and we will really make some bank

Not at DTI. It's confirmed you get it for life. Even after you stop sending traffic or get out of the biz. Close down your network or whatever. The rebills still rebill then you get paid.Careful with that....

I'm noticing a lot of negativity about paysites. Yes they are down but not out. Our paysites are doing very well. In fact we'll be opening a few more over here in the next months. Send us your Asian traffic and you'll see.

Hey PornHero:I agree... webcam sites have a clear advantage right now. Porn videos are everywhere. No need for a credit card.

My experience with paysites has been similar to yours and I also made a move towards webcams.
I have also found that Pay Per View Porn also works works well for those who want full length movies but don't want to get rebilled every month.
A good mix of webcams and pay per view has been working well for me!
Best of luck with it!

It was time to rethink the business 2-3 years ago. A few changed and fewer affiliates bothered to do anything about either.
If you think the cam business is on a wave I have news for you, they are closing, cutting back on girls or losing them because of the lack of money they make. Woro on bot sectors if tyou want to stop the drop.Comment

any good gay webcam programs out there ?Daddy Strokes - mature men stroking their meat

Looking for submitter accounts for older men niche content (both gay and straight) so hit me up if you run a tube and offer submitter accounts for paysites.Comment

I think that's about right. Take that together with CC companies cutting limits, banks scrubbing high risk transactions, Google pushing torrent sites above everyone else in the SERPs, and it's a wonder any of us are selling anything right now.Comment

Hi Paul, thanks for postingIt was time to rethink the business 2-3 years ago. A few changed and fewer affiliates bothered to do anything about either.
If you think the cam business is on a wave I have news for you, they are closing, cutting back on girls or losing them because of the lack of money they make. Woro on bot sectors if tyou want to stop the drop.
Well for the majority of the past 2-3 years by income was steadily increasing so I followed the rules - "If it aint broke, dont fix it." and "If it works, do it again. If it doesnt work, stop doing it."
And I understand if some cam businesses arent making the cut. Cams depend heavily on a free-wheeling consumer and those are few and far between right now.
I am going to sound here naive but: What do you mean by "bot sectors"? Thanks

Perhaps right now ... with the economy and such ... but when people have money again they will pay for something they can't get for free right? I mean this thread is about how paysites are dying because the product is sub-par and because it can be found free everywhere.
Cams can't be found on tubes/torrents. But I'm not sure if the product is sub-par at most cam sites since I don't know enough about them.
Are cams losing $$ cause the product offered sucks or because people lack money. If it's the former or both then when people DO have money again will cams pick-up ??Comment

The sponsors followed the same route, even when it was clear the model was broke.Hi Paul, thanks for posting

Bot sectors is both sectors. Was suffering yesterday and not operating 100%
Been saying it for ages, but no one needed to change so they did not bother, they just threw more traffic at the sites.
Cam studios were closing or cutting beck long before the recession. One of the biggest studios in Brno closed down over a year ago. Plus cam girls have been coming for castings for year complaining about the money they earn, most of them are not pretty enough and have no life in them. In my experience they rarely make good models, they just go through the motions.Perhaps right now ... with the economy and such ... but when people have money again they will pay for something they can't get for free right? I mean this thread is about how paysites are dying because the product is sub-par and because it can be found free everywhere.

No sponsors need to work hard at converting the traffic they get now. Not work at getting more people to send more traffic to sites that don't convert.
One of the ways they could both help each other.Comment

Yes
Considering the reasons for the decline in my paysite income, I think webcams is the next logical product/service to focus on promoting. I realize I now need to diversify from paysites. I am simply applying my promotion skills to a similar market. 
Notice I said "focus". In this business you need to focus on a market. You can't just expect to throw up a variety of links on a webpage and expect to make big money like you could in 1997.
I have done far above average promoting paysites when everyone and their grandmother were already promoting the same sites. I am not your average adult webmaster.
I figure once I enter the webcam market I will basically be taking webcam sales away from newbies and part-timers and giving other pros a run for their money. 
My income from webcams right now is effectively $0/month. I dont need to rule the webcam world. My goal is to bring in a few grand a month with webcams to start and then take it from there
These are lean times overall in the economy. Everyone has taken a hit in the past year and trying to figure out what to do next.
What's your solution? I'd love to hear it.

I specialize in getting on the first page of Google for brandname keywords. Being on the first page of google for keywords like "Twistys", "FTV girls" or "Met models" etc has been very profitable.
I then trade traffic between my internet properties and try to only send surfers to join pages. Sending a surfer to a sponsor's tour or hosted galleries is a waste of traffic in my opinion. It benefits a sponsor more than it benefits you.

Are you sure you're going to get enough of webcam related SE traffic? I was under the impression that there is far less of SE traffic searching for webcams than there is searching for porn..

Webcams is not really new. If you have good SE traffic on quality paysites like FTV and MET, you should try to keep that too.Comment

I hope I am wrong about paysites - but for 5 years my income continually went up month after month after month. For the past year, its been going in the other direction. I am not waiting to hit $0/month with paysites to make my move.14k a month = dead?

Definitely I will keep what I have right nowWebcams is not really new. If you have good SE traffic on quality paysites like FTV and MET, you should try to keep that too.
I just need to diversify my income from relying purely on the paysite/video model. 
My experience is that the quantity of traffic is not as important as the quality. Sometimes less people looking for something actually converts into more $$$.Comment

Paul - Regarding webcams: How do you find girls - or sites with girls that have personality or a spark (= a good product to sell). Actually ... are webcams a 'good product' ?
PornHero - Do you always send surfers to join pages? Any exceptions? What about general traffic? Don't they need to see what the site is all about first?
Thanks ...Comment

When ever I can, I find doing the selling myself and maintaining the surfer on my pages works better in the long run. On most of my pages the only outbound links you will find are to join pages or to my other sites.
