It sounds like you are taking a good approach. The salary thing is a good way to go.
But picture if you will:
Right now your site shows 5 girls live at the top and then the rest of the models below that.
Now, what if you grabbed a feed (if not webcams com, then pretty much any that offer a feed. Chaturbate's is pretty easy to work with.) and you populated a bunch more online cams boxes with the feed info.
You can make it look exactly like the models from your own site, only difference is that when they click the chaturbate ones they will go to a page on your site where you have the chaturbate page embedded and when they click your models they go to your cam.
You pick up a buck a sign up for any free sign ups at chaturbate and whatever percentage they pay for revshare (I think 20%). That can be enough to pay the light bill and buy a couple of beers.
As you increase the number of live models you have on line you start decreasing the number you are showing from feeds until you are showing just your cams on your site.
The object of integrating the feeds is not necessarilly to make more money. It is instead to make it NOT look like you only have 5 girls on line while others are showing hundreds.
But, i am not a site owner, do not run sponsor programs or anything like that. I am just a programmer who does a couple of his own sites so I am probably talking out my ass.
