Studio looks good; just there no decoration, pantings or smaller furniture in rooms yet? You could try to have some room look like a real bedroom perhaps, even if, girls (chicks) in boxes can do well too.

well this is serbia and if you do not work you die from hunger + the whole world is in economic crisis so you get it...

normal jobs, all over the world, have a minimum of 2400minutes or 8 hours 5x per day or you do not get payed...I ask for 6 hours 5x per week or the equivalent over a 7 day period...1800 minutes to the minute and I do not count split camming and combining times from site A and site B...the main site must have 1800 min clocked in to get payed end of story...I do not care whether they come in 2 daily shifts or do it in one whole or if they work their asses of for 4 days and then relax 3...

yes many girls say "I am tired after 2 hours of lying on my bed" and this is why I do not have 100 girls, I have 10+ depending on how much I fire or recruit

you achieve this by being a great motivator, you literally brain wash them with hour long talks about how things are going to pick up if she invests tons of effort and time in to her job, how she will have tons of regular customers if she clocks in at regular times and puts in the loooooooooooong hours and how her life will change bla bla bla....if you do not know how to motivate and "manipulate" you are not doing your job as a studio boss...

this is how you get them to work 1800min/week you can take my advice or go back to the excuses your models give you, I am telling you it is completely realistic...

I tried letting them work for how ever much they want and had lots of models come, gave lots of ads in the paper, and had tons of trouble for mediocre money...since refining my game and going for quality vs. quantity the problems are much less and the profit is just as good...

I truly believe that, technical issues aside, the success of a studio is 90% boss 10% girls...

do you have a better job for them perhaps in better rooms?

no?

oh you just have some pictures from the net and an "opinion" LOL

piss off eh?

@azpoindexter

I would get some cheap ambient lights, I see you have neon overhead lights this is not flattering for your models skin color,

http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...8TgsR9kojf9VBQ

standing paper lamps like the above are cheap and give nice diffuse light for little money...I buy a white one and a peach one for each model...both lights are behind her camera and one from the left and one from the right...the peach colored paper lamp gives them a nice tan...you must have multiple sources of light or your cameras will have focus problems and as I said above, neon is not flattering to the skin...

also put in a chair for every model as well as a bed...the reason is try typing bent over from a bed for 8 hours...she must have the option to stand and sit and change positions and fatigue will not set in so fast...instruct them to change positions a lot if they work a lot...a good way to work is 3 hours work, 1 hour pause then 3 hours work again...the model wont have them "gamer eyes" after 6 hours :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I thought the OP had already given too much information on his operation and his plans but posting pictures of inside the studio is a very silly thing to do in my opinion.

Protecting the location of a studio should be number 1 priority for studio owners and as others have said quality rather than quantity should be the focus which will of course help with that. Every single performer you piss off could fuck you over, so always bear that in mind when recruiting and firing, and always pay people that you fire what you owe them in full, no matter what they have done.

Also, as others have also said, most of those layouts contain colours and lighting that will not help you make money. Crucifissio sounds like he knows what he is doing (questioning the very knowledgeable adultmobile aside) and you could do a lot worse than take on board some of his wisdom

But bottom line, just do it, don't broadcast it.

Well I posted the chickens picture as humor but the comedy piece it was lost in translation. About posting pictures of the studio, this is ok if it is 100% legal in the country where you operate - the OP said it is legal in Mexico and he'll pay taxes. I would NOT do for ukraine or philippines of course, where jail and/or bribing police is the only alternative to hiding from police.
Further, in places where it is 100% legal and they pay taxes, photos of the studio in a web site it is common to attract more models.
As an example look at the 3d virtual tour of the 2 locations (bucharest + galati) of the following studio providing my site with lots of models:

http://hotcamstudio.ro/tur-virtual-galati/
http://hotcamstudio.ro/tur-virtual-bucuresti/

Showing it all this way (including outside of building and nearby places) it let model think this is a reliable, legal, serious, paying company. Even to be proud to work with.
Of course you don't do this in Ukraine or the Philippines - or even USA :)

y

Thanks for all the good advice. I am definetely working to refine what I have so far, its a process and thats why I posted, for any help and support i could find.

sent! :thumbsup

I am not concerned too much about posting pictures and dont see it as SILLY, first because i am legal and second because a few interior pictures would not give anyone a clue of where I am. I am in a large complex of building with 24 hour security with 2 checkpoints requiring id badges to pass. protecting the location is not an issue, I am not running out of my moms basement haha.
I am doing it obviously , I have the studio and some models but why wouldnt i look for free advice (good or bad) from people in the industry , so that i might avoid mistakes in the beginning and also leave a little help behind for the next guy? I am legal and have almost 0 local competition, risk is minimal here for me.

thanks for your 2 cents

You are right about the pictures, It helps to give the models confidence that its not some slavery/rape deal. Actually I have a guy coming this week to take some better pictures to use in my recruitment process. I love hotcamstudios site and really debated on going that style with individual rooms but went curtains to cut costs and time. maybe in the future.

Oh and i took the chicken pictures as a joke and thought it was funny, actually put the one from AsianDivaGirlsWebDude on rotation in my backgrounds.

nice studios but the neon lights are losing you money...a few rooms have direct neon overhead of the model this is terrible lightning...try my standing paper lamps, find lamps with 2-3 bulbs one above the other...they cost like 20$/pop in my country...impose a nice color on their skin and you will see a better final product...experiment with different pastel colors I use everything from light orange to oker to darker red depending on the colors in the room...the other standing light must be pure white, if one side is colored (the left for example) and the other side is white you will see a "movie like" quality with the lightning...

actually sent my assistant to go check those out ;) :thumbsup

u gonna lose money

actually i am on track to break even in the next 3 weeks could be sooner but thanks.

I got this on your website

Sorry, your present geographic location appears to be on the list of countries blocked from accessing the main liveasiangirlcams.com site or you have followed a bad link.

:mad:

how many girls?
whats your overhead expenses?
whats your cut?

number of girls depend on the day
overhead is less than 3,000
right now 50%
startup cost was about 10,000

what type of internet connection?
how much girls max at one time?
do you use splitters or just routers? how long are the cables max? what type of cable category 4 or 5? (read on the cable)
Im asking because you will lose a lot of money if your connection and equipment is not up to par...


as for your overhead heres how its done:

go to your countries organized crime unit...they rent out seized property...this property is basically wanted by nobody serious because it will be sold off by the court eventually but does not sell fast because of the bad reputation it has...find out who is responsible for this in your country...they will tell you the nature of the crime so you do not move in to a drug kingpins villa and get blown up...

find the white collar criminals villas and appartments they are already furnished with wonderful light and you can get a luxury appartment for like 200 euros/month (you need to make an offer and the police will haggle a bit but accept in the end) and you can get villas with pools for as low as 500 euros/month...the big villas will rape you with utility bills...my advice is go for cheap and new and small units...lots of them...unless you can find villas with non-digital power meters then you can use a strong strontium magnet to freeze the dial for a few hours/day and keep the utility reasonable...

you can find ridiculous deals here, and the best part is, the investigations are over and you have privacy from the police, they are eager to rent this out, because the utility bills are picked up by their department because they seized the houses in the first place...they do not give 2 shits what you do inside...I told them what I do and they all want to be my friends and hang out with me, so its a good setup for our type of biz...

be prepared to move in 2-3 years when they finally find a buyer but you can move easily to another location...I have 3 such properties in 2 countries in the region, I did not rent anything special just really nice apartments at incredible prices...but you get the concept...this is what you need to be doing...my most expensive setup is 300 euros total and that includes 100 euros utility bills for 4 bedrooms...my master bathroom has a balcony...

go this way...the girls will take you more seriously if they work from a luxury apartment/villa...you will recruit and keep better girls...they will want to "move in" to your lifestyle and be prepared to work harder for it...think hugh hefner...Im far from hefner but you get the general concept...girls are stupid and their brain dumbs down in presence of $$$ or appearance of $$$....give them a dream+ motivate and you will earn easy money...

Hit me up. As soon as you can. :)

sent you a icq request

You had me at Serbia. Thought you were a US studio for some reason. Good luck to you.

It also says "If you would like us to check your IP address manually, you can send us a support message to see if we can unblock you by clicking [link to support form]

What is your actual location?

don't forget to hit up xmodels, my girls always have done pretty good there.

Hey AZ,

We also have a studio in Mexico as well as a site under construction to promote the girls. Maybe we should explore jointly promoting the girls in your area as well as the girls in our area on the site livelatinawebcam dot com. Message me on ICQ if you wanna chat.

Lots of useful advice in this thread

Dont let people get you down dude.
Looks good and if you manage the byz the right way you would be making good cash in short time.
Pay atention to crusificios advice, I agree with him on most topics and I have been 15 years on the webcam industry mainly running studios.
MFC is not good for new unexperienced models, try LJ and Streamate.

Thanks. Yeah there is no one on this site that can get me down. I came into this with realistic expectations and goals. It is going decent so far, almost made enough in last 2 weeks of june (first 2 weeks live) to pay the rent haha, without full booths. I am happy with that. Now that the booths are almost full, I can't wait to see what this month brings. Who knows, I might still be in the game in 6 months.
Expecially with making a move away from myfreecams...still gonna use it as a trainer though, since they seem the fastest to get girls approved, interview monday and on cam tuesday. others like streamate take like a week.

I agree, I had hoped for good advice and with the exception of a couple people, GFY delivered. Thanks to everyone and feel free to continue. :) even if i cant use it, the next guy might. :thumbsup

hey az! good to hear of other people doing this in mexico. like yourself, I am an american with a new studio in Mexico, northern Mexico to be more specific. I finally went live last week after soo many issues to get this place going, mostly with the internet service. I got service through telmex at first but it sucked big time, I was promised a certain thing as far as upload speeds but was totally lied to. I finally got fiber optics through another company but I think the rates I am paying are probably waay higher than what you are paying because of my location. I guess it comes down to supply and demand, they know they are one of the few that can give me fiber optics dedicated service so the company charges a ridiculous amount. It's been a tough learning process. I have been trying to get this going for the past 3-4 months but so many delays just kept pushing me back. One thing I learned so far, and I am sure you did too, people in mexico don't even care when you are getting service from them. It's like nobody wants to make money! I finally ended up getting service through someone else and the speed seems better. How's it going for you in mexico city? So far I have 4-5 girls signed up but I have room for 15 since I'm trying to do 3 8-hour shifts and I have 5 stations starting off. If everything goes well I will try to get to 30 girls since I have more room at my studio. At the moment I am only signed up through livejasmin, which seems very user-friendly. Just that you have to get on their ass to approve girls. At first, I was told it could take up to 12 hours for the ladies to get approved, neat thing is though, they have a chat option so I would just go there with tech support and tell them that the girl was here ready to work, so far they have been really quick to verify IDs and the whole signup. How is it that you have been getting most of your girls? I just put an ad on the newspaper trying to get some girls in here and have gotten some calls, like everything, some say they will show up but never come through. Just gotta be ready for it. I also have a lady that is in charge of the studio and she is looking for girls. It'd be cool if we could share info and tips. Good luck to you on your business venture

what is the best way to contact you?

Best kept secret to smoke all other self run solutions/whitelabel/or big co studios:

istreaming

thank me later

Change ISP 3 times seems quite a pain. I don't suggest keeping girls in 2 site only, use splitcam and teach them multitasking.

My icq is 653170397

Bad advice.
The big money is made by HD which you can not provide with Splitcamming.
Now at days the better quality you provide the more money you will make.
Work on many sites but on different times NO splitcamming.
