The reason 49 out of 50 new cam sites we hear about, does not happen at all or fail within the year, it is these guys think they launch with $10k, while a new cam site launch requires $500k min, $1 million better (the consensus reached in previous well attended threads), to launch and stabilise - I mean something like chaturbate or bongacams. Smaller cam sites collapse, you can't keep up a small cam site really, whoever managed cam sites of various sizes knows this, theres a minimum critical mass.

The typical error it is to focus on the site code and idea. Except the write the code (the cheapest part!), there's the advertising part (do not rely on affiliates really at launch... they join after a year or 2 you exist really). Also, paying a fixed bonus fee to models (at site loss) so they keep online in new unknown empty cam site for the months needed, see other threads just this week:

"i am looking for 100 web cam models."

"Media Traffic Buying (please recommend)"

Perhaps there should be a sub-forum "people wanting to start cam sites" with a FAQ.
It can definitely be done and I see the proof every day in the form of direct deposits from my merchant accounts - but the questions being asked by the people who come here asking about it make it clear to me that it's not going to work for them.

It's like someone saying: "Well waiting tables is too hard for me and I can't figure it out so I am going to open a restaurant instead." They can't grasp how any of the individual components work but still think they can put it all together, with the help of forum replies.
