Your figures are SO wrong. They are not even close to reality.

Processing -- 10 to 12%, even with merchant account -- you don't get a better deal than this until you have a lot of volume. You could use a US based merchant account and save 3% of this, but then you have to deal with a 1% visa cb ratio

Models -- 35 to 40%

Affiliates -- 25 to 30%

So, you have 18% to 30% left over to cover fraud staff, customer service staff, development, general administrative costs, and marketing costs. You will need a full time fraud team, and millions spent on software development to get a decent product that can compete with current sites, plus expert product managers, senior developers, etc.

People who are saying it is easy are completely clueless. Webcams is the most complicated business in the adult marketplace, which is why there are only a few big sites.
