Questions about cam sites?

Hi Max,

I started my cam company back in 2000 and have seen lots of growth, lots of setbacks, lots of rewards, and lots of problems. It can be very profitable sometimes, and not very profitable other times. It can be very frustrating today, and crazy fun tomorrow.

There are many factors involved that make things unpredicable such as chat model and customer preferences and behaviour, fluctuations in traffic and traffic sources.

What I would suggest that you do is, since you are just starting out, is to save as much money as possible. Don't hire anyone to help you with a job that you can't do yourself. Don't buy servers that you can rent or lease instead. Don't hire chat models that don't fit your niche.

When it comes to marketing, since your idea is non adult, start with Google Adwords, and definitely use Google Analytics. Google Adwords is cheap and easy to manage, and Google Analytics is a must-have tool. Always track every single type of marketing you do. And if you are working with a new company for the first time, ask for free trials or at least, small ad tests.

Good luck!

if you do wisely, they are fucking very much profitable., i am small affiliate and cams are paying my bills.
in cam you have to pay affiliates, cams girls while in paysites you just have to pay affiliates
more than couple of millions
depends on many factors.,
but at least
1 server admin
1 html/css expert
1 php/or any other server side language expert
1 mysql/or any other DBA expert
1 photoshop expert
security no idea.
host , see what others are using
support , depends on how big you wanna go, email support/phone support
advertising/marketing, hire expert/experienced

you can outsource all of this , but its better to handle all this from one location having direct access to all employees..

i dont run ca site , but if i get enough funds surely i will start one.

Well good luck with that , you'll need a lot of luck , knowledges and tons of money !

Thanks for the replies guys. Surely helpful to figure out if this would be for me or not.

Are you a WebCam affiliate right now?

Are you a WebCam studio right now?

It would probably be a good idea to have either one of those under your belt pretty good before jumping into the whole operation. Try doing one, if you can be profitable, add the other to the mix and see how it goes.

You might find that you don't like marketing your WebCam site, or you might find that you don't like managing your WebCam girls.

Starting out smaller would be a good test to see what you do and don't like.
