The people who cough up monies at MFC aren't really doing it for what's on cam, they're just waving their cyber dick around and trying to one-up their 'rival' guests. Like I said the other day, MFC is a virtual stripclub, whereas traditional 1-1 PVT cam sites are virtual prostitution - guys go to 'get laid' or even just talk to a girl they like. Quote:
With the guys who do 'want a relationship', and want and call the model their 'gf', most are not at all looking to actually meet the model. They have their own lives and family, and probably wouldn't have the nerve to anyway. It's just a fantasy, escapism from their day to day life or partner, so it doesn't really matter where the model lives. In fact you could argue a guy would be more interested in an 'exotic' girl from Romania than a familiar girl from the next town over. Even if they did want to meet, and the model wanted to meet them, which is unlikely in most cases, it's not as if it's any more difficult to fly from, say, New York to Bucharest than New York to Los Angeles. |

As for programming, I am busy creating original content driving traffic to individual pages. I'm asking the cam site to provide a service for my white lable, something they are saying they provide. Still waiting. |
Overall a good thread :)
the main point it seems to be: - sites with certain type and amount of traffic can do money in cams, but most others may have not the type and amount necessary. - the conversion ratio is less important in cams then the total money made. Unlikely sites with fixed price per user. In fact, even if Paul Markham does not believe it, there are few guys spending thousands dollars alone and for long time (it is always cheaper a real meet then a cam chat, do some research, simply some guy feel guilty or is shy or afraid of virus or whatever and want cams only). So I would talk of total money made than ratio simply. - most people don't understand why cams sell because they would not buy cams as basically it is not logic or worth (for normal people) to spend lots money in cams. This is why majority of people don't spend in cams, but the minority exists and spend enough. I would also add that since the world wealth seems to be more and more concentrated to 1% of people where 99% are poor, in all countries, those 1% of people are the whales who spend a lot in cams and they will always exist. So cams suffer less from middle class destruction - esp. I would suggest to raise prices per minute :) |
We establish a price range x? to y? -- the models set their price for private shows. There is a sort called "tariff" that translates to rate in French ... You can display the models in each price range -- see who is running a "sale" :1orglaugh |
paul markahm you are such a fucking joke you cant even see it

[QUOTE=Barry-xlovecam;18540679That is a legit problem and I think is has a lot do do with the models splitcamming into multiple sites. They are just looking to take the easier route of selling the sites' existing customers.
[/QUOTE] So you have webcam girls working for your company who are selling on different sites you own? Or you're just the front end shop selling a product produced very cheaply in Eastern Europe, often by people with little porn or model management experience. That you have little control over. $4 billion industry and you can't afford a better product. OK I understand the problem now. Thanks. :thumbsup |

I've been in many cam studios, met many of the big guys who thought my set up in Czech was ideal for me to run a cam studio, I invested in and they paid for nothing, spoken to countless models and know or knew many cam studios bosses. The business is, from what I see, a selection of shops selling the product online via affiliates. These shops have little control, say or investment in the production or affiliates. They're merely middle men selling the product at the retail end. They don't have a lot of skill or experience in running a porn studio, little knowledge in managing porn models and no influence in how the selling or production is run. Yes there maybe be a few at the top with their own 100% owned dedicated studios. The majority are little more than an affiliate program selling a cheap badly made product from Eastern Europe. Why? Because there are so many people spending $1,000s on cam models? :1orglaugh The rise in FB types sites is obvious. "Chat" with a real live girl in the US, who is saucy and sexy enough to flirt online. For Free. Or chat with a girl in Romania, where some of Barry's models are from, and pay for it? A webcam site that would clean up would be based in the US, in cubicles that didn't look like shit houses and with girls who were really working the crowd. With that it could convert 1-500 of any male traffic. Because if I couldn't sell a sexy chat while a girl the viewer is likely to meet in the US to one in five hundred males. Porn would never be a business. And it must be possible with all the men spending $1,000 on webcams LOL In fact a site with girls doing this to 100s, keeping their clothes on and paid for by advertising non adult products would clean up. Free to the viewer, girls paid per hour/per viewer and advertising paying for the lot. Fuck Tubes, the guys can watch a real girl who lives in their country and all for free. Takes Social Networking and Tubes to a new level. Silly me thinking outside the box again. When will I learn just to copy every other broken idea? :1orglaugh |

Paul, are you saying we should all visit FB and ask random girls to show their tits?

The guy that had only brief and fleeting moments of marginal success ... is now living off the government and telling the entire adult industry they are doing it wrong.
Of course, he's not going to demonstrate that he knows what he's talking about He's not going to give real world examples, backed by real data He's not going to actually offer up any sort of proof at all He's just going to pound his chest and call everyone stupid Of course, his own sites are horrible and convert poorly - yet he knows great conversions and how to convert traffic This is the join page from the guy who's telling you how to make money. All content misaligned. Random page elements all competing with each other. A banner for a button to join. A banner that looks confusingly similar to an ad for epoch. http://www.paulmarkhamteens.com/tour2/join.php This guy is so dumb on so many levels that it surely merits study in the medical field. I think his greatest accomplishment in life will ultimately be that he created a new form of stupid that was so profound, so deep that it warranted its own new name. Wouldn't surprise me if in 20 years kids were running around making fun of each other for being "a Markham" ... with all retards of the world breathing a collective sigh of relief, knowing their condition will never again be used to explain levels of stupidity that defy explanation. |

+ it's just too expensive for the average person, maybe the crowd sourcing of private shows makes more sense (multiple people paying together for private) |
1. we now have free cams.
2. Few new cutsomers. Put it this way, those who want to join a wecam site will have. Its a bit like poker sites. Most people who want to join a poker site will have. So if you prote the webcan site and say you get 10,000 of hits, but say 2000 are all ready mebers of the site and the others are not interested, the result is zerop sales. I would sugest that if a customer is happy with one webcam site they are unlikly to join others. |
3. More people are now on mobile phones and ipods/ipads, and i would suspect webcan sites do not work on these devises.
|
4. Webcam sites are ugly. Most look the same as they did 10 years ago. I have not seen one that I would spend a moment on.
Often its just a grid of dull thumbnail pics. You would think at very least you could see a grid of flash clips like on a tube site, so you can see the model at that point chatting and moving. |

I will reply knowing I will feed a troll, guys pardon me :) About US versus east europe girls, this is an interesting topic. Look for the top models in the various sites and you see a majority is romania, ukraine, russia originated - altough some claim they're in USA and it looks like they are from there, but are not. I would say for cam thing the far girl is ok in most cases - real meet not an option. About real US girls showing "for free", wha tyou talk about? That's true for few over 35 fat ones, some show for free (in cam4 etc.). But not happens for 18-25 pretty ones. A few of these US girls you can find in myfreecams playing for free, BUT as long as their camscore = money they do is in amount of several thousands, or simply they not stay online. I know some of them and they say me they earn $10,000 to $30,000 a month, their cut, so I would not call it for free on their end. Note that most of MFC traffic is not from affiliate so the site have not to pay affiliate % for most of these money. There is nothing such as pretty young girls (either US or east europe) who show naked and/or play for free - the difference between US and East Europe girls is just the minimum money they should make - but no one cute young girl even in poorest country of the world will show unless she thinks she do money with it. So be sure the cam sites where a (young pretty) girl shows free, are making money as the girl would not be there if no one paid her (as much as a porn "job") to be there online. This is different from a Tube site where content does not "go offline" if no one pay, it is a file not a girl who need a minimum $$ or have other job offers. It is instead possible to have guys show cock in cam for free, but I am not into gay biz, we have girls only. Actually cam4 is more gay then straight as the free (really for no money) cock cam is easier to find. I also hear most cam programs have 40% or more biz from gay biz which I am not an expert of so I will not talk of. We have a free live shows site tubecamgirl.com but at the momoent no one US model, simply as there is less tips then mfc and so not enough for US girls to be interested at. In the case it grows traffic = tips then even US girls may join, we hope so. Also note in cam4 some (young pretty) girl is there free getting low or no tips, but! Gettings biz off site by skype contacts (paying western union, paypal or else), what I mean is that free cam site have models = stay up only if the models (and so the site) also make money. A Tube site you "steal" content once and it stay up no matter you have sales or no. I hope my post been useful for someone. Not necessarily for Paul Markham :) |
wtf are webmasters thinking "those who want to join a wecam site will already have." That is probably the most stupid thing I have heard in a long time...
so basically you are saying, people who like porn are already member of some paysite, so you have no chance converting them?? People who like food probably already went out and bought some groceries, so they will never buy again??? Do you feel me??? |

There is even an issue the guys search same model in all cam sites to find in what one she is cheaper per minute - so as affiliate, to teach to guys there's yet another cam site cause the guy to sign to it i.e. "thanks I did not knew this one". It may be true it is difficult to find one of those guys who never seen a livejasmin or streamate page, this give better chance to small sites - who may have otherwise the issue of having too few girls online however. I know Paul will reply again. |

Hey xlovecams, could your site load any slower?

Here's a free tip: Freeloaders do not fucking matter. What they search for does not fucking matter. They are non-persons. Video does not equal live/interactive. Carry on thinking that's crap if you like; seems you still don't understand what webcams are about - who works on them, what happens on them and who visits them and why - even after 3 pages of this thread. I like you, and I like your avatar, but your 12 inch dick complex isn't helping you. If you think you can learn anything from your traffic, other than it sucks, you are delusional. |

We automatically redirect mobile devices and are compatable with Flash and non-Flash Platforms. For iPhone -- 2 years almost, in Flash for 3 months now. Check it out in a mobile device ... I would think that most cam sites do likewise. Quote:

I think it depends on which webcam sponsor your using, if I was not promoting the niche cams I promote I would have left the Adult biz after a couple years in frustration.
Originally my main objective was to cover all my costs associated with domains and hosting. Now my objective is to make 2k a month, and no way was I going to make that in a short period of time promoting pay/member/VOD sites. This is just a side project, and I also work a 40 hour 9-5, hopefully I can make an online project full time one day. But I think mainstream is the way to go, still looking for my niche there...no money in promoting the sport of Handball. |

Have you always been like this or are you really going insane? Quote:
Yeah so they tell the girls to look into the cam and smile more. What is that going to change? Do you think they have never been told that? The girls are still going to go back to doing it how they do it. As someone else said, everyone has their own level of satisfaction. You act like you've discovered some huge flaw in the cam world. I'm sure anyone running these cam networks could spot little things like this but since they're actually in that business they know there are bigger things to take care of and worry about. |
well, whatever some people think they know about cam biz.... as you can see on page 1 of this thread, we can convert cams 1 : 8 (and averaging at 1 : 20) oh, that ratio is with max 4 work hours a day...and I have a very decent income ;-)
so my guess is you (people who are complaining) are doing something wrong.... |
Quote:
I'll get 10 sales from lifetime members every month with 0 new signups. If I send 10 hits, my ratio will be 1:1. If I send 1000 hits, my ratio will probably be 1:100. If I sent a million hits, my ratio will probably be something like 0:25000 :1orglaugh |

Most webcam landing pages actually irritate me. I wouldn't join because of that. |

I do know that a guy that just got done looking at a VOD Agelica Guttierrez on VOD is 70% likely to find her and take her private. That is fact not opinion. VOD works as a sales tool and as an income source. |
