Chaturbate - What's the story behind how they got started?
 

Seems like a pretty big undertaking, and I remember when they first launched they were small and didn't seem to have a huge budget.

What's the story behind how they got started? What was their strategy?

Seems like they're doing very well now

they evolved from another affiliate program as i remember...

they never wasted one minute by posting on GFY ?

Offer lots of free pussy. Charge for requests and privates. Give small portion to said pussy. Rinse, repeat.

and you took that from...?

I think you are wrong about the budget.

Former WEG Cash people, i think.. ?

They were paying out $1 per free signup IIRC... I seem to remember a lot of GFY members going mental on the promotion - Along with the subsequent uproar when they stopped it cause it wasn't possible to maintain it for an unlimited time...

Yes chaturbate had big budget, several affiliates I know was getting paid $5k per period or more, that's for FREE users, multiply that for all affiliates that's million(s) paid to affiliates in first year or two. This was an adequate budget, not a small budget.

i wouldn't say the people from Wegcash and xprofiles had a small budget... although not all xprofiles affiliate was happy with last payments.

wow didnt know that

Wegcash still owes me money.... :321GFY

Every company has their strategies..

Yup. Same here. They (WEGcash) closed up shop suddenly and just re-branded themselves as a new entity and thumbed their noses at those that they owed.

Fuck WEG, fuck Chaturbate. :disgust

Chaturbate skinned GFY a couple of times ...

Fuck Chaturbate and their fucking

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the the chain of events was:

WegCash -> XProfiles -> Chaturbate

And for what it's worth there's nothing outstanding here from Wegcash, they closed but I think they paid out affiliates.

I was in the adult internet business already. I watched the decline of the paysite model as tube sites became huge. I also wasn't happy with the existing free cam sites and thought I could do a better job.
