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.

IF we were a cookie cutter cam site that would make all the sense in the world.
My site isn't really "free" though, we offer things like VIP memberships that get special treatment in a variety of ways, and people generally have to pay to get in. When they do they get bonus tokens, which obviously they wouldn't be able to spend on 3rd party sites.
I also get quite a bit of questionable traffic which I can deal with cause I have experience and my filters are set up to spare me from the worst of it plus I review transactions daily to prevent problems issue voids and refunds after the fact etc. but any site that wasn't set up for that or expecting it would freak the hell out immediately.
And besides it would be a traffic leak competing with my dedicated girls. Yes we're small but we use that to our advantage to provide a boutique experience and can work as a pretty effective team as long as everyone is taking the recommended dosage of their recommended meds.
