Just woundering if any chathosts here can tell me which program pays them the most and what a camhost can expect to make in her or his first couple weeks months ect... industry average

Thank God. If everyone understood the secret he just revealed I'd be wiped out. :1orglaugh

I hear you but consider that back in the day there were a shit load of rev share programs with $2.95 trials.

Members joined and quit before rebill at an incredible rate.
He could send 1200 joins to get (1200 x 1.50) = $1800 plus
300 converts time $12.00(50/50 revshare) = $3600 for a total
of $5400 minus fees and chargebacks also minus $12.50 per chargeback....
Yeah, back then the webmaster affiliate had to pay 50% of the $25 fee the bank charged in chargebacks in addition to losing the sale!

So he was only making $20,000 per month in that case. If we consider that signup prices were $19.99 instead of $29.99 it gets worse and he may have been making about $12,000 a month. If you consider that chargebacks were at an all time high and that's why Visa almost shut us down and American Express will not process adult, then he could have made even less with these fees being in the $1000s every month.

Also add in that bandwidth was $8 A FUCKING GIG!
Add that to hosting then subtract $2200 a month from his earnings.

Plus people bought content in those days(there were no hosted galleries)
So subtract $500 month for content.


See, stuff like cheep hosting, cheap bandwith, $35 per trial join, Free hosted galleries, free content, Free hosting, credit on exit consoles, etc...

Were invented because to make it easier for webmasters to make money because it was clear the some were not getting rich.

There are many reasons why people who bust ass and really do a great job don't get rich...the above scenario is just one of them.

The reality...it's not easy to get rich...it just looks that way from the outside in.

Is this IFriends spam or something? I know peeps making a ton over there...

Who wants to be a millionaire? I just wanna live comfortably... :)!

wtf???????????????

Bump for an interesting thread and nice question.

Drugs can ruine anyone
So does Lambos

What you are missing from your list is "jaded consumers", "credit card fraud", "P2P sharing", "give it all away video sharing sites", "spyware / scumware / affilaite code stealers", "zango", and any number of other things that have lead to the porn consumer being very, very picky about what the signup for. As a result, what use to be a 1 in 400 business (and sometimes 1 in 100) is now really about a 1 in 2000 to 1 in 4000 (depending on who you talk to) business.

I looked at my personal traffic stats even this year to last... for month of march up 40%. Sales? flat. It took 40% more traffic to make the same money - and that is in a single year. The trend over 10 years isn't any better. The only saving grace is that I have great hosting that doesn't cost all that much, keeping the bottom line in check.

My personal prediction is within 2 years the affiiliate model in online porn will be all but dead, because conversions will continue to get worse, and the costs of bandwidth are no longer dropping fast enough to make up for it (and they don't have much further to drop before they are a rounding error cost).

Keep working on it. :)

Can someone translate? I misplaced my Retard to English dictionary.

Why? Your english seems ok.

I understand what you are saying and you are right.

Gotta get out the pimp hand...

not speaking english doesnt make someone stupid :2 cents:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Just adding my :2 cents: BUT I have been a chathost for over 3 years and at my best was pulling in 6k a week. I know MANY, MANY girls (mostly from Romania) but they were averaging at least 2k a week. It's pretty profitable. Even the worst chathost can pull in $500 a week and that's only working 4 or 5 hours for just a few days.

Miguelmateos: In the first few weeks, as long as the girl has a good profile and picture, she could make at least $500.

I average $1,000 a week using Niteflirt (working from 12pm - 4pm M-F) but my best days were on ImLive. Then again, I was working 100x more on ImLive... lol. The best thing about ImLive is that they give their girls competition and rewards for being the best. I would have to say that ImLive has the best setup.

With my site income, www.amysworld.com, included, I am comfortable. :thumbsup

There's gotta be something in the water up in that area of Canada...I know a one or two insanely good marketers from up there. If I were a program owner I'd focus quite a bit of ad money to try and reach that crowd...seriously.

coNGRATS tO All TeH WhinNers!!!!
