Why do webcam sponsors convert so poorly?
I mean relatively, considering that the reasons 'you can't make money from porn anymore' - abundance of free amateur stuff and theft on tubes and forums, doesn't apply to the webcam genre.
If you want to chat live to a sexy girl there aren't many free sites that can guarantee it. So how come webcam sponsors don't convert like porn did in 1999? I used to have a site that was first page of Google for loads of key terms, including 'webcam girls', and it still only made one or two sales a day at 1:800 I know a lot of people do better than that, but I read a lot of other webmasters here grumbling that cams can be difficult to convert. Just wondering why that should be. |
I have not try to promote any webcam sponsor at the moment, what I have try is the dating sponsors which converts really good!

Send UK traffic to partychat.tv - totally different because users pay using their cell phones. Nothing is given away free. Works like a treat.

maybe thousands of webmasters all competing with each other over the same 20-30 sites? there is only so much paying surfer to go around.

All the current camsites are suffering from overexposure caused by the bazillion tube popunders. What you need is something fresh, something like MyRealCamGirls that will launch soon and WILL convert like it's 1999.

Is SE traffic the only way of converting decent or do any cam sponsors have some promo tools that will do 1:1000 or less on your average porn site?

I am just kidding... but in all seriousness, you should do better with some relevant SE traffic...
BTW, did I just posted a screenshot of my stats and some of my earnings? I thought nobody did that here.. WTF is going on? |

I wish I could give you a straight answer to your question but it is hard for me to envision the *Goldilocks* Porn site -- or the one that is just right ... |
I think I stopped promoting cams back in 2008 or so. Conversions slowed and the amount earned from each sale got smaller until it just wasn't worth it for me.
When my virtuagirl sales almost doubled my cam income one month, that was it for me. |
yeah... there is obviously no money in cams...
|
If you got serious traffic hit me up ;)
|
Mainly because cams are expensive like shit for the average user, so in order to make bank with cams, you need the best of the best traffic.
|
well obviously cams are not for everyone, I've read countless threads of webmasters complaining about cams...
but the same holds true for other stuff, I can convert cams... but I do not have a clue how to convert porn paysites, how to make money with tubes... decently... so just do whatever converts best for you and focus on that... |

The main difference of cams VS normal sites, is that in normal site each guy bring same $$ like $20, so conversion ratio is same as income.
In cams, 1:100 or 1:1000 or 1:10000 means not much as who is this 1, a guy who spend $20 once in a life or $20,000 a year? Both can happen. To make stats on cams need send lots traffic, with small traffic you can be or very lucky or very unlucky as too small sample. So we buy those popunder and blind skimmed from trashiest tube's and cj's (and chocker traffic yes LOL) and some time we fish the guy who spend $5000 a month, there into the trash, believe it or not. This pay back the 1:10,000 conversion - but had to buy few million hits before to trap the whale, if we stopped a moment before we was in loss. And this is why we buy spots and traffic in k's rather than rely so much into affiliates - if we get the big guy from our own traffic ads we keep his sales, a rev share of a $50,000 a year whale would be painful. In fact we not hasve rev share at all, we give pps only. So I think who have lots sale (as big tubes) can make good $$ in cams due to volume it contains the whales, the big sites all sell spots to streamate or jasmin etc. no one miss to put the cams. The smaller traffic guys need too much luck or time to fish the big guys. Of course there's cam specific traffic sources with high conv ratio but is small total traffic and people who have such, is like member areas traffic it is so nice but it is so few finally. |

Best way to convert cam users is through an integrated API system. Give them a free account in the same breath of them signing up to your own site. White label it, brand it and bam... watch the sales come in.

Hard to convert?,
It's a free sign up, 120 free credits. seems pretty easy!! |
Japanese cams are paying my monthly Mortgage and then some, with yahoo search traffic and some good keyword domains. Have not worked on anything in several months.
|
Siri, find me a camgirl to talk to.
It converts bad because cams are free now....mfc, chaturbate. And maybe the economy is dying too. |

The answer in simplest terms is. The idiots run the asylum and it's turned a great way to make money into a shit way to make money. See the above post for one of the reasons, he will now tell us it's a"rogue affiliate" . :1orglaugh |
With hindsight it's easy to see why online porn has turned into what it is today. For cams, some dating and paysites.

Never was like that, still it was obvious where it was going. As traffic grew, ratios got worse. Online porn broke some fundamental rules when selling a repeat buy product. They treated it like a once only buy. That's fatal for a product based on a monthly subscription. When selling something you want people to keep buying, all the marketing is for naught once the CC details are entered. Then the product will justify a customer keeping a subscription or buying again. Customer satisfaction with his purchase is all that matters. His willingness to buy again is essential. If he doesn't like one version of the product, he will try another, if he doesn't like that version he will try another and so on until he finds one that fills his expectations or decides they all pretty well the same. And becomes very reluctant. The product is what keeps him buying. When it comes to converting a lot of the "marketing" is pointless. It's the samples and his experience with previous purchases that determine his actions. So if a site is converting a 1-500 it's losing 499 people interested to take a look. That's appalling. Most find excuses for it, there are none. It's a problem. 499 are hitting a banner, going to a site and not impressed enough to spend $30. The reason is simple. Affiliates rule. Traffic isn't king if affiliates own it. If you have to spend 30%-40%-50% of a sale on affiliates to get that sale. The money has to come from somewhere. The only place it can come is the product. The supply of good quality product isn't determined by what one site, or many, can afford to pay. It's determined by what others can afford. Online ended up with an inferior product that didn't impress customers well enough. This applies to cams. the money the girls earned was usually very bad very bad, the money the studio earned wasn't great either. I know because I've had people promise me the earth. If I achieve this, do that, buy this, spend that. If it's so easy, why do you need me to do it? 2007/2008 cheap BW hit the house of straw. And the big bad free porn wolf blew the house down. Supporting the supporters of the big bad wolf. Isn't going to change it. Now you can all just tell me I don't know shit. While typing from your spare bedrooms. And not making any logical replies. |

That is so wrong it is borderline delusional -- if 500 people are going to be drawn into the "sales conversion funnel," as they examine the product as presented to them -- some will fall off and won't buy; |
Cam conversions suck because it's so hard to send qualified traffic here in 2011.
If they pay PPS, your referral must never have been a member before. This is a huge differance from regular paysites. It's how they can do $100-$250 PPS. You are sending sales, but not getting credit. For lifetime recurring your referral might already be owned by another affiliate. And if that would-be recurring sale has previously been a PPS referral for another affiliate, you get no credit. It won't happen but affiliates need to brighten up and pull all links to the major cam sponsors. You are being ripped off bigtime. |
going for the pps is for third world retards anyway. :2 cents:
|
yay. clueless has take a break from his blog to share his deluded broken record wisdom. great.

Or send the new member a welcome email with offer to also create a free cam account themselves? The first is considered spam. |
Barry wtf is up with your oddly tabbed posts

Regular 1-1 pvt cams are like visiting a prostitute (people go for private/intimate 'sex' or even just to chat in private to a performer/'girlfriend' they like), whereas 'free' cams are like going to a strip joint (dick waving losers, literally throwing money away purely to outdo other total losers and catch the attention of the performer for half a second). Real life strip joints haven't stopped prostitution and they never will. It won't happen online either. Quote:
Protests, riots, revolutions, unemployment, businesses and entire countries going bankrupt, major currencies on the brink of oblivion as a result of the fucked up economy, but there is no way porn can be affected. No way. None. People are always going to spend money on porn rather than food or rent, however broke they are. It's all the fault of piracy and 'free'. Even though both existed, online and offline, loooooong before anyone here even thought of selling shit online. |
