I did it but I dont think my situation is something that can be duplicated as there are a lot of happy coincidences.

1) I bought a "used" cam script for $125 from a broke webmaster who thought he was going to open a cam site and get rich. He paid $3,000 for the license and transfered it to me for $125 (developers agreed to the transfer, and just happened to determine that the first minor mod was going to cost me $3000 so I guess they came out OK.)

2) I had a solid traffic source but we were butthurt about some asshole programs not wanting to pay us and were looking to track down some international scammers who owed us bigtime.

3) In my search I came across someone else who was owed by the same people but for cam studio, not traffic.

So my traffic, his studio, my used script plus a little design work, a couple merchant accounts and 2 years later everything is running great.

It's not a huge site, its so small I am not even comfortable disclosing the url, if it was any smaller it wouldnt exist at all but it pays my bills and my partner's bills and we are not in debt to anyone so I am happy but the point is there is a ton of work between "I think I want to run a cam site" and that first trip to the bank.

Also, that's where the real work starts. I easily spend 12 hours a day analyzing stats and buried in paperwork. I am learning to offload, automate and delegate some of the more repetetive stuff as I move along, but its never going to be as hassle free as say for example a white label.
