webcam studio
 

So I read everything I could find, studied what I could, asked what I could and then said fuck it and opened a webcam studio here in mexico city. We went live last thursday with a couple girls. I have a nice space with a little over 1000 square feet (300+ m2) Only have 4 booths right now but room for growth to 20. Gonna start small and build as i learn what I couldn't learnonline and on the phone without actually having the studio live. Open to anything ya got (spam me). Even doubters and haters. Right now I have the girls on MFC and maybe another week or 2 gonna start running splitcam and see how that goes. Lets see what i learn this year and if i am still smiling next year, or next quarter haha.

Send me a message if you are trying to get them broadcasting on Flirt4Free. Good Luck with the new business!

Once you're into Phase 2, if you're looking to stream to iFriends, let me know and I can help you get started with a studio account and get all your girls linked up. Good luck!!

Some free advice:

1. Make sure you install key logger software to monitor the chats,
you will constantly be surprised by the methods people use to cheat you.

2. If they have clients sending them "gifts" you might as well get a %.

3. Keep them in line. Have penalties in place for being late or no shows.

Anyone else want to add some sound advice from experience?

Your studio will make more money, with http://webcamclub.com

Just saying. :frenchman

I am a studio boss and the best advice I can give you is that nothing will go as you expect and the biggest problem you will have is: discipline

If you can enforce discipline, without being a slave master, you will do good in this business.

Do not overestimate the intelligence of the girls that will be working for you. Do not overestimate their work ethic and their willingness to change their miserable lives.

Learn how to enforce discipline the rest is a breeze....

MFC can not be effectively split cammed with any other site. Maybe chaturbate but that is really a piece of shit waste of time website. There is nothing you can split MFC with. Privates on MFC empty out the rooms and it can be a 20 token private.

Work MFC alone. Split with other sites that are private based. Avoid token sites if you are a studio boss.

A little Pimp'ish don't ya think? :pimp

MFC seems like a bad place for inexperienced girls and to have a studio, i'd start with streamate. Going to open a studio here soon, hopefully end of this month with lots of girls.

Anyway, good luck :)

p.s. think you posted some stuff about the dream, working with girls is really a nightmare lol you will see, I am looking forward to the money, not deal with 24 or more ho's a day that is truley a nightmare :D

I agree go with streamate

No he doesn't Mark.

Come on man, at least read the opening post before wading in with livecamnetwork spam.

OP, Nalem's advice is good advice. As a studio owner you should trust those little darlings only as far as you can throw them.

Check out this whitelabel http://chaturbategirls.com for chaturbate

If you have gorgeous Mexican girls that can speak good/fluent American English---you can do real well.

Well, Mexico is not a popular place for cam studios (unlike for example Colombia), so it could be the girls there not yet learned how to scam and let fail the studio bosses in many ways. If you open a cam studio where there are many others (Medellin, Bacau, Manila etc.), most girls you find for hire got previous experience in studios they contributed to let fail: these girls know how to ask western unions to customers and make secret agreements with all the other (previously innocent) girls how to fool studio boss and sites. Further, in those cities with many studios, the girls tend to change studios, for example go to studio2 after stole the equipment and cash from studio1, then do the same in studio2 and then go to studio3, making the bosses life complicated. If you hire girls with no previous smart scam experience in a city with no studios they can move safely after scammed and stole all from you, then that may be good. I remember a philippines studio where a girl even stole a refrigerator from the studio (her bf came with a truck to pick it, along with smaller stuff) - in Lugansk a studio boss made the error to leave 2 girls alone in a night shift, in the morning the next shift girls found no any furniture (they took also beds, sofa - not just cam and pc's). I don't know if in Mexico cam studio is legal and if you intend to pay taxes: girls are the main source for being busted by anti sexslavery police or tax officials - in Kiev for example there's "police girls", it is girls of studios that was busted, the girls made agreement with police to being hired in every studio for then tell police where studio is, in exchange of not being jailed - so you have so many girls want to work, just some will bring police, it is always quite difficult to pick them.

I use Chaturbate is the best one out there these days!

good luck! :thumbsup

hey puedes contactarme por ICQ? #14938712

tengo noticias acerca de Mexico City :)

seems u know a lot about webcamming in colombia
yes I have heard u need to have the girls locked from the outside, I saw the lock myself , a bit scary ... it was like a jail lock HUGE for a tiny room

It is just I run cam sites from many years (registered thousands), and when a model or whole studio vanishes, at times they tell me why, so I learn stories. Really anyone knowing the stories would not even start opening a studio, I think. But there's bad stories about running bread shops too, after all.

is just a risk u have to take like in any other business :thumbsup

when I do my street sluts pics I have been around 10 street sluts and myself carring a professional photo camera ,

also me dressing as a slut on the street I have seen cars with black windows approaching :Oh crap

is just another day in the office

thanks emily, i will

Thanks alot, I appreciate the advice, its good advice.:thumbsup

I will check it out, thanks

Thanks for the advice, after a week on MFC havent done too well..gonna be testing other options this next week. Going streammate and splitting some private show based.

Read alot about you guys months ago, and yeah I probably do want that..but later..thanks

yeah, i think i learned that this week about MFC, making some money but the per minute returns are not meeting my needs.

The dream was about the big stack of cash that was posted..I have no unrealistic beliefs on how easy or hard the business will be, and the models will always be the most dificult part but i have what i believe is a solid policy and a really good recruitment team and system, appears for now that if I have a problem with a model she will be easily replaced

thanks

ok i will check it out

thanks, i am in contact with them

thanks, that is the model profile we are working with and trannys (tons of those here, although I havent hired one yet, maybe next month)

Thanks for your advice and comments. There are not many studios in mexico, I have found 2 legal ones but they are shitty and pay low hourly (mostly just there so the bosses can fuck models) I am paying by percentage. I have a fixed percentage but am looking at a sliding percentage based on revenue generated. Studios are legal in mexico, I am registered ,paying taxes, etc. I have good security, I am in a small complex of buildings with gafetes required to enter. equipment is verified before and after each shift and before a model can leave. Even though I am running legal, I am in mexico and I am a realist ( I have a bribe fund haha)

Thanks Nikki I will set up a ICQ today and contact you :thumbsup

wow, I would never do that..I have booths made of curtains to give a more open feeling. (got the idea and concept for peachpalace in las vegas) I am not even using a contract with a required length of employment, which in mexico you can, and sue employees that break the contract. But as an american in mexico I guess my cultural beliefs regarding business don´t always match up but It seems to work in my other businesses so time will tell if it works in this one.

There are tons of bad stories, I did months of research before I opened. I know that its gonna be shit at times but I think that in the economy here and with my business model and knowledge that I can see a nice return. Time will tell, and the start up costs weren't very much. I am at like 10 grand for equipment and remodel, with an overhead of just under 2 grand. I can walk away from it and it wouldnt put me on the street. I am giving it 3 months to be profitable. Hoping to see a profit in less, ofcourse

Exactly and if something happens its because I made the mistake whether by an error of judgement or lack of knowledge.. Either way I eat it and move on , learn from that mistake and you can bet it doesnt happen again.

Sounds like you know what you are doing, good luck with SM :) Hit me up on ICQ too once you get it, would love to chat will be opening studio here in a few weeks :)

good advice. He's right.

You gotta be the cool, fun guy...that chicks could make fun of...but at the same time they respect you, and will listen. That's how u get them to stick around.

But chicks like to work from home, so you'll have to get a program up eventually so they could do this from home. There's always gonna be an 'awkwarrrrd' factor if they gotta do this in a work environment.

If they must work from your studio...then TAKE CARE of them...get them what they want and be their b*tch. (but not too much of a b*tch.) otherwise they'll play u like their gay friend.

Atleast I sound like I know what I am doing!!! We will see as the year progresses if that turns out to be true. I will shoot you a message in a few minutes.

My attitude with the models is friendly but the boss. I am treating it like any other company but taking into account the type of employees I am looking for.

I am implementing a work from home program this next week. Had a lot of requests (20+) for this. The thing is that I am trying to keep as much control, both for quality and learning, as I can at this point. One of the benefits of the mexican culture and latino culture in general is that most children, especially woman live with there parents until atleast 30 years old. So most of the models that are attracted to this kind of work are not able to work from home and the cost of high speed internet and equipment with the economy here is crazy. I am paying about 300 bucks a month for 10mbps dedicated internet. Waiting for the fiber optic to reach my area, then its like $100 for 100mbps. This makes the studio even more attractive to potential models.

If that's the case, it seems stable. Medellin studios (who pay tax) told me that the police (who got office near studio anyway) at times come to the door, ask if and how they can fuck the girls, and boss replied "only online with credit card", and that's all: police not even enter studio (they can't legally perhaps). An issue in colombian studios it is the drug, some studios are full of coca, out of control really (studio boss is ok because girls work better and longer if under cocaine), but then some girl take it live (I seen in MFC one "this is my coca" with her nose white lol), and police can raid it cause "drugs".

So if you're stable regarding girl scams, competing studios and laws, just the issue it is profitability... your girls should do good and stable money in sites, or it does pay back the investment and ongong rent, bills. You say you tried MFC and discovered not all the new registered girls make money. In fact, only 1% of new registered girls are happy of MFC sales, and 99% say it sucks or quit. This is for most cam sites anyway, the turnover of girls it is impressive. Thousands of new girls register, do no money and quit in weeks... still there's always so many new to replace the old, so sites are full (of models who don't make money).

How to solve the issue of models who don't make money... I could tell, register to my cam sites, but it would be false advertising, because the 1% - 99% rule applies to mine sites too. I have no idea who, if the 100 girls I register, will be the 1 who does so much money she can't believe it. Rest 99 will have hard time. There's the "whale user" to consider, who fishes him, it is not guessable in advance.

As an advice I can tell you, I work with some studios who are in business with no interruptions or failure from 10+ years, with 20+ models (in part replaced, in part longstanding), all of them does this: registers one or more models in every (I mean, dozens, all of) sites. I not mean every model goes online in 12 sites with splitcam. It is more like: they register the new girls at a base list of sites, then add accounts for them, and keep them login only in sites they like or have success with. This way, after some time, you have model1 uses site1,2,3; model2 uses site1,4,6; model3 uses site3,5,9; model4 uses site 4,9,10, and so on. Some model is success in a site, and fail in another, it depends by model. Putting all models in a same only site, will cause some model to make no money, but she could in another place. You should find it.

Thanks for taking the time to write that.. loaded with good advice and luckily goes right with my plan. I am moving slowly, adding of additional website as i learn. I will check out your sites (probably already have) I think mexico city is alittle different than Medellin but as far as studios to use as a model and example thats all there is to compare to. There are studios all over the world but they dont match the business model for mexico as well as the colombia studios do. Thanks again

make the 'keepers' feel special. (the sweet, giggly, sexy types) But if you do 1 thing to disrespect them, it'll turn against you. You know how women are...

also, their minds will eventually wander....thinking about other sites out there...so give them reasons why YOUR program is better than the others out there. (offer more commission, give them goodies, etc)

and don't forget to take out the garbage when needed. (models with emotional baggage...that ruin the chemistry)

I think that is true for anyone not just woman, disrespect them and they turn against you! And you are right , the carrot for the good ones and the boot for the bad ones. I have a bonus system but not using it until i see some better revenue. Top girl gets iphone, top tip received gets spa day. etc.

I give u props for having the ballz to start one up on your own and without much experience.

I push my luck relying on live cam affiliate programs everyday....never knowing if their jippin us or not. Maybe one day you'll be big enough so we could promote you.

honestly though....if there's an idea for affiliate program managers out there....give us 100% friggin control over our signups....to know we're not being jipped...and then that particular affiliate program would probably be the most popular one out there.

Because.....there's ALWAYS that small amount of not knowing the truth....paranoia or whatever....in the back of every webmaster's head.
