So often you will have non collects all the time. Fan club members can end up getting at least a 10% discount even if the cam girl does not want such discounts as long as another cam girl placed her on her own friends list. There are also still many gold members floating around (ifriends sold these memberships a long time ago for 99.00 for a lifetime discount, none of that went to hosts) who get 50% off the posted price, which cuts the girls 50% down to 25%. Girls can of course block gold members now though in their admin. Then odds are they still have the "time bug" where the cam session will not stop but the billing does once you have reached a customer has reached a certain amount of time in one show. This is not publicly posted anywhere though.
What I did notice is that girls who work hard, keep a set scheadule and build up a ok sized list of regulars ussually bring in about 30.00 an hour on average. Averages based on total hours spent on even waiting through out the course of a few months.

Yup, you are right on all that info. Other stuff that are not mentioned: Chathosts can get 100% if she introduced the member to the site and gets the person to sign up with a 100% payout link. There is a maximum and minimum per minute rate (the minimum being $1.99 per min.). On top of that, there are fanclub membership sales, DVD sales (DVDs are created & sent by iFriends at no cost but the option is available only to HD hosts), VOD (Video on demand) sales, HDTV shared revenues (using the pooling system), and shopping cart sales (Oh, and Clickcash, of course...but you already know that :winkwink: .). The "time bug" is noted as being 3 hours. All the host has to do is simply to ask the viewer to log in again (or boot him out, thus making him log in again) when 3 hours is up in order for the meter to run again. Depending on the host, one can make between zero dollar and a few grand a week.
The only other camsite which may be competitive in terms of the cut is Camcontacts. I'm not a host there (I host on iFriends only), but they claim to give these cuts:
"There are TWO ways to earn money when you join the CamContacts Network. This forms the Video Chathost Payment Schedule:
You earn 50% of all revenues generated from your own video sessions with CamContacts Viewers PLUS 40% from shows with Viewers from other websites brought to you by the CamContacts Network!
For each Viewer you introduce to the CamContacts Network you earn up to 20% on everything they spend on sessions with other Chathosts. That's right! You even earn money when you are not on-line at CamContacts... WOW!"
However, keeping in mind that the overall per minute prices on CC is (on average) lower than that on iFriends, that means the earning potential of the host may be lower as well. Payment options also vary from site to site (i.e. how often one gets paid and through what method). Other sites like ImLive are paying 35% (55% if the person is referred to the site by the host) with a rating system.
