Opening a Webcam Studio

[EPGScott]

Hey guys, look for some help with opening a new 50-80 room, US based webcam business and wanted to ask your opinion on a few things.

Who is the best webcam company for a studio owner to partner with?

I am not only looking for someone who pays well, pay on time but someone who also has good quality traffic.

Any suggestions or advice?

will give you best options in the market, had cam studios in the past also

[lazycash]

Have your girls split cam on Myfreecams and Streamate.

[ClickCashEmily]

You can split your girls cams over multiple sites to see where they produce the best. One site to consider is iFriends, which pays models weekly by either check, ACH, or Payoneer. iFriends offers models the ability to earn 100% from customers they recruit to the iFriends platform, and an additional Revshare when those users spend time with other models on iFriends. Base pay on iFriends is 50%, though models who make the top 10 do earn additional percentages on their earnings.

As their rep, you can choose to receive their payments and pay them yourself, or allow us to pay you a percentage of their earnings and pay them the rest. You'll earn additional model referral bonuses by recruiting them through ClickCash, too.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about iFriends/ClickCash, or help you get going. You can find me on ICQ #497840207.

how do you plan on opening such a large room when you dont even know the basics of the business ?

[Gozarian]

you are planning a 50-80 room studio yet have no idea with which sites to work with - this may get ugly

[Gozarian]

50-80 rooms, 3 shifts to cover the clock, thats 150-240 girls. trust me managing 50 cam girls is a freaking nightmare 150 -240 will be challenging at best

yeah...trying to get 10 of those 240 to show up...hearding cats is easier

[DWB]

Start with 1 - 2 girls and build from there. 80 girls is a pipe dream until you can manage 1.

You doing it wrong... Get started with a 10-20 room studio learn about the business, learn how to manage people and specially deal with models. Then expand to 50-80 rooms. Best scenario is get a location where yo can start with the 10-20 rooms.. But have space to expand to 50-80 rooms in the future.

I started typing a similar reply but didn't want to be the first guy to be labeled "dickhead" for pointing out the obvious in the first reply to his question. He clearly is headed for disappointment or is full of shit.

[CPA37710T]

THIS!!! one of the hardest parts for starters is getting girls to stick to their job and go online!!

[Gozarian]

Well call me dickhead I dont care. I've been doing this for several years and it was a absolute horror show in the beginning. In previous endeavours I managed people no problem but camgirls, omg herding cats is easy compared to getting them to show up for work. And their problems, jeez they are omnipresent. Turnover is a bitch; replacing and training new models is costly. As the years have evolved I have found a few ways to motivate but not many. If we have 30-40% attendance on any given day I'm happy as cock in a hen house. And remember the most important thing "slowly, slowly catchy monkey".

I dont know if it is the work or the type of women that get involved but they are absolutely lazy. and it is for the most part easy money.

[MaDalton]

i was asked in the past if i didnt want to run a studio - but like i said in the past about the same topic: I'd rather put my dick in a waffle iron

[Gozarian]

you got me laughing so hard MaDalton I snorted my Jack Daniels - good one and I agree but Im to deep into this now

[spiederman]

working for many years with romanian girls i will say that 9/10 are lazy as FUCK. the ones that will make bank are usually the ones that DID work the jobs where they earn 100? at the end of the month. but student girls, id rather set my dick on fire then hire another student

[Zeiss]

I think I already said that but you can try registering a studio here, then add them as your models.

If you have Asian girls... send them to us

US based webcam business
webcam company for a studio owner to partner with
someone who also has good quality traffic.

I underlined 3 things. I will not comment on setup hundreds models big studio at once, rathan than a few, size is not so relevant.

1) US: It is uncommon to open cam studios in USA, in fact 80% of cam girls are in Ukraine, Romania, Russia, Colombia. Remaining 20% include USA, but these rarely are in a "studio", they are from own home. If you mean girls will be at own homes, and you are an agency middleman, this is unstable, as girls skip the middleman to go directly with the site as soon as possible.

2) Cam site to "partner" with: the cam sites allows you to register your models and appear in last page mixed with other hundreds if not thousands online. If they get no customers paying, you will be online for free in these sites. This is the "partnership" you should expect really.

3) Good traffic: what matters it is the ratio of customers / models online. A site with 1,000 customers and 10 models, gives 100 customers per model. A site with 10 times more traffic, so 10,000 customers, and 5,000 models, gives 2 customers per model, or 50 times less traffic per model. And, you forget the whale: some time 1 single customer spends thousands dollars with 1 model in 1 site, where maybe all your other models in same site make nothing, how you can know in advance this? Some sites traffic also it is all concentrated in few models who stick in first page, while the others in later pages are very lonely and sad - and it is same site.

I would suggest you register in all the sites, its just a dozen, put the girls everywhere (with splitcam in several sites at once). Then each girl will decide what sites she prefer. Some model do better in one site, some in other, it is quite silly to concentrate all models in one site, it does not work this way.

[EPGScott]

I've been in the adult biz for 10+ years and have some business partners who want to open a studio. Also, I have some friends in the industry who have operate studios but I always like to verify information with an outside source which is why I created this thread. Reason is I have been screwed before by just taking peoples word on things like this so it's always good to be extra careful.

I knew about splitting time between multiple studios but I am just wanting to verify the programs people have told me to go with in the past are still the programs I should be going with.

[Gozarian]

listen to cam site owner, adultmobile and herding cats aint so hard once you get them wet

THIS, i've got girls that rock on sites without free-chat, but i've also got girls that are rocking on free sites, not every model is the same, and not every site works for all your models, think by now i've got a total package of 10 sites where the models can work on

[adultmobile]

I am just wanting to verify the programs people have told me to go with in the past are still the programs I should be going with.

Verify with outside source is good, but in open forum anyone can reply with any agenda, so how you verify the outside sources who posted here? And you may do same question in cam girl forums, there's a couple, but I can't post links to other forums due to GFY rules.

From your post above, it seems you talk of advice you got from people who have operated studios "in the past", and so you want to verify if old information is "still" up to date? Lots of things changed in past 2-3 years, so having 2013 updated data it is a must, and 2009 or older data it may be even misleading today.

I hint that you (or anyone opening studios) should not focus on choice as less as possible cam sites where to work, really. There is no exclusives or special conditions or help you will get back from those sites for not being in others. Especially the biggest sites are so full of girls, they not care if there's a studio more or not. With many girls as it is your (partners) plan, you should register them basically everywhere (cam sites are not that many, a dozen or two), then each girl will end up soon with sites preference and start to use some sites rather than others. Each girl will prefer a different site, statistically, and it will depend on "bf" whales found in a site that may look as not worth to next girl. Plus, a girl may get good business in a site in a period, then a next period not, and she will want to try another site, that she dropped before, then return try another one when this bored her too.

spiederman or adultmobile,

Are either of you willing to give me 5-10 minutes of your time on skype?
I have a few questions that I would prefer to ask off a public forum and if so please add me at ScottHoway702

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Scott

hope you will find the right one! but you can try all meanwhile

Why would a model work in a studio when she can work at home and get 100%?

Studios get better deals then models, so models can still earn the same money or close to it and don't have to do it from home.

I am not really interested in promoting my own domain and my own brand, I am just looking at opening a studio and recruiting girls at this point. Maybe down the line this is something we can look at but right now, it's not part of the business that I want to be involved in.

[Bman]

The girls who will work out of their house ? very few have any discipline. The ones that are good tend be ones that treat it like a job and need it to be separate from their regular life.

In fact it is best that you have very little fraternization amongst the models. And if you do it is with select models that have good attitudes.

LMAO - I was thinking of a cam studio as well, but this is the usual response... I may have to re-think this.

Buy a good .com cam domain
Join Streamate
Have them set you up with a white label
Pay someone decent to make a nice logo
Start with managing a handful of girls and if things go well then continue to scale, if things don't run smooth your still making $$$$ on other girls from your white label promotion.

makes sense to white label as all you have to do is advertise it, no maintenance involved and your studio girls will show on your newly created white label, my white labels along with all other affiliates white labels and Streamate as well, always makes sense to promote your own domain/brand when effort to do so is minimal

50 to 80 rooms is way to many

Could be with rooms he meant "model accounts" which would mean max 10-20 phisical rooms, in shifts. To fill 50-80 real rooms needs hundreds of girls, this would be the biggest cam studio in the world, this is why someone in this post did not took the guy seriously.

About big studios, or how rooms of a studio should look like (incuding lighting etc.) take a look at link "Tur Virtual" menu at following romanian studio I work with:

http://www.hotcamstudio.com/

It is 2 place in 2 cities really, from menu have a nice 3d panorama of each room to see:
tur virtual galati -> 12 rooms.
tur virtual bucuresti -> 12 rooms.

On our cam sites we got dozens of studios like that providing models, and some of those studios are operating from many years; and models working there from years so stable (will not quit like new hired girls), can work there until 50 years old, doing careeer from teen niche to mature/granny. Remember that if you open a studio and hire new girls, 80% of new girls will quick after week or month, it needs couple years to collect a number of stable models, who keep there and know how to work.

Now, given so many "professional, experienced, stable" studios exists, like one above in romania, ukraine, russia, colombia, in places where a good salary it is $200 to $400 a month... with trained and longstanding models who do this as only job since years (as better than do 8 hours a day job for $250), you guess it is not so easy to compete with an USA studio, with USA costs and USA girls who can get a $2500 a month job instead of $250, or USA bf's who will pay her to just be her gf and sit home doing nothing (not happening with colombian bf).

So, as advice to the guys who wants to open a new (USA) studio: all the cam sites work with those studios as example above, and will not care much to any new studio who wants to register. Currently there's more cam girls and studios online than ever, in fact every site is full of models - I remember before 2008 it was even hard for big cam sites to find enough models, this is no more the case since couple of years. There's 1000 to 2000 online girls in big sites, and hundreds in small ones. How many paying members?

Let me adjust that for you :

managing 1 cam girl is a freaking nightmare 150 -240 means you need a support staff of about 12

[JamesM]

why not start your own cam site ?

[beer30]

Why would a model work in a studio when she can work at home and get 100%?

Because junkies can't afford computers or internet and need money every day.

Or another big reason I find is they still live at home or have kids so they find it's easier to work at a studio then deal with trying to work at home.

But for the most part it's reason 1.

start with one girl...

also you need to see for yourself how good your people skills are...some people are not born leaders and some are...some will be good at running a studio and maintaining discipline and some wont...
