That is a very good bet, yes. If they don't make money, they're gone.

please explain: how exactly will he entice them to stay and not split cam and sit there for free while he figures out that forum purchased cam traffic is a joke?

You can't. It is your responsibility as a business owner to make sure they are chatting and converting customers. If they have no customers, you have no customers, and your business is in big trouble.

also splitcamming works fine...saying that it NEVER works just puts spotlight on your inability to make it work for your models...it works great and its his only chance in hell of actually keeping a model there on his graveyard cam site...

Splitcamming is "ok' for a studio, but bad for a website trying to build a brand. And you could also say that it is bad for the business relationship your studio has, and you could be missing out on an opportunity.
For example, there are many studios out there, and there are many service providers who buy your streams. What if you looked at your best customer who buys the most minutes from you, and offered to make them a deal? If they can, for example, promise to buy more minutes, at a higher price, you will work more closely with them? This way you both work together to build your mutual businesses? Maybe for example, that site happens to have lots of fetish traffic (Balloons, messy, feet, whatever). If you work together you can identify and exploit opportunities that you may not find otherwise.

Anyone who treats their business like a lottery is doomed to fail. Some calculation and pre planning goes a very long way.

No, not at all. Just the opposite in fact. There is plenty of opportunities to make money in cams. Think about it : People don't join sites anymore to look and pictures, and videos are free on tubes. Cam sites sell not only interactive sex, but more importantly, they offer 1 on 1 conversation and even GFE-style relationships. This is why cam sites flourish while DVD and other sites fail.

.even more so with all the worst ingredients: forum traffic + few newbie models + shitty site + newbie OP + no affiliates who would waste time promoting + super saturated competitive niche + carders + large tubes do not have their own cam sites and they have million$ to throw around...
its actually very good advice...

Any business owner needs to be well versed in everything above. There are all kinds of roadblocks and pitfalls to overcome. Again, it's difficult, but its not impossible.

I am beginning to think that maybe you are not the best studio owner / operator... instead of complaining about your "whores" and dumping on anyone who wants to start a cam site, maybe you should be asking people here on GFY what you can do to overcome your problems you are having with your studio?

Yes, I'd LOL at that too. Why bother? Think about it. You have a studio to run. You have training to do, computers to fix, studios to light, etc. Why are you driving anyone around? Your time is worth alot more than that.

Again, your attitude towards women is ... enlightening. And as a matter of fact, I do know what it takes, but you know what? Fixing things, dealing with model issues etc, is a part of business. It is a job. If you don't like it, why not promote one of your own models to take over model management for you?

No my friend, I'm sorry. You give no credit at all to chat models or women in general. Many chat models have made this their career. If you think none of them will work harder, you are very mistaken. Give them them an opportunity and see what happens. I bet you anything that more than 1 model will jump at the chance to excel for their company.
