Need webcam help!
 

:helpme

Hi there!

I want to open webcam studio, what i need for this, what prices, what is the best?

Thx

You need to read a lot first - there are a few webcam boards out there to help. Then you need to make a lot of decisions:

- Studio based performers or home-based (or both)?
- Video Streaming software, cameras, etc. etc. (if studio-based)
- Use your own system or buy/lease one (2live, for example)
- Payment System - Only CC or dialer too? (don't want to lose out on 500 million Europeans)
- Pay-per-minute, tokens/credits, buy time in bulk ... and rates to charge
- Where to get performers - very competitive now so you had better pay them well

Just a starting point.

I think webcam studios and webcam sites are 2 diff things.
:2 cents:

Kevsh: thx!

Answers:

- Studio based performers
- Video Streaming software, cameras, etc. etc.
- buy/lease one
- Payment System - CC and dialer too
- (Pay-per-minute, tokens/credits, buy time in bulk) - need to think
- I have great performers and a lot of em :pimp

Expect a minimum of 20-30k. Prolly more than that.

well, you need a lot to figure out, but when you get to the webcams and software read this thread:

good luck ;)

What you need:
1) fast internet hosting with alot of bandwidth. For example www.cihost.com offers 3000Gb/month for about $100-$150
2) good traffic
3) Affiliate system
4) Powerful software for webcams
5) Studio with girls and fast upload internet at least 300kbps for each girl. If you have 5 girls 24/7 you need 1.5Mbps uplink

We can solve 3) and 4) using our software WebVideo.

Visit our website http://online-webcam.net/, http://www.softservice.org/
DEMO is available as well.

Price for software is $2,495 - $3,495. Competitors like firecracker or 2much.com ask much more. So this is not expensive.

Thanks,

I started mine
 

My plans:
1] I got nice place with structure to hold 24/7 biz, I mean, rooms, bathroom, kitchen, etc
2] Cables all over the place. Every place can become a studio.
3] Fast link
4] Computers [no need for super computers, just average]
5] Mini DV or webcams (mini DV is much better)
6] Beds - I use sofa-beds, works great
7] Human Resources intelligence: 70% of this biz is getting models. If you have no idea about how to do this, you are in trouble.
