Are you really sure you want to do this?

I do not want to sound too pessimistic, just realistic in this long reply.

It is not as easy as it seems to be from the outsider’s point of view, and it is far more unpredictable than one would imagine.

Launching an adult cam business requires lots of capital and not only that. You will have to hire models and pay them very well up front, because let’s be real, why they should work with your new site when they have dozens of other established sites to choose from.

The payment software is just a one piece of the puzzle.

You also need a good traffic because without it, you will not make a single penny and your models will simply stop working for you if there are no paying customers.

Now, let’s say you have lots of traffic, but you only have a few cam girls.

In this scenario, you are not going to last long in the business, unless you have a very niche site or top cam girls, otherwise, most of visitors will get bored and they will look for other sites with thousands of girls performing live at any time.

It is a really hard work to retain many customers when you have a very few girls on the board. Only a very small percent of them would stay for longer than a week.

You also need at least two very solid dedicated servers for streaming and the other one for the content, software, et cetera.

The hosting alone will cost you a few hundreds a month in the beginning and then it will only increase.

Can you code?

If you can not, then you will have to hire people and it is going be expensive since good coders earn a lot of money and a webcam site is usually very complex, you will need a professional.

I know one guy that is a fairly successful affiliate that is making five figures a year from just promoting others’ websites.

He opened a webcam business in the Europe in 2015 and he invested around 400 thousand dollars and after three months he shot it down since he made very little money and the monthly expenses were huge.

I have been in the adult industry for quite some time and I have seen many cam sites fail miserably.

Camgasm was a Chaturbate’s site and yet they closed it just after a couple months, even though they are a huge company with very deep pockets and huge experience in that field.

If you fail to hire already popular models, which is going to be very hard and costly, you will need to find new models that are usually very lazy and they get discouraged very quickly and they quit.

Not all of them are like that, but a vast majority are, unfortunately.

Plus, they do not know a thing on how to talk to a viewer and how to hook him up et cetera.

So you will have to teach them and it will take some time before they learn all of that stuff.

Let’s talk about affiliates.

Not many will join your program for many solid reasons (it is a topic for another day) unless you offer a high commission (higher than any big guys do), but can you afford it?

You have to ask yourself, what will make your cam site unique so a potential visitor will not think of it as another website that has nothing new to offer?

There are already many big players and you really need to answer that question.

Let me be clear with you, I am not trying to say that it is an impossible thing to do.

It sure is but a cam site business is competitive and it requires lots of work, investment, employees.

I wish everyone best but I also want to make sure that people do not underestimate how difficult this challenge really is because you might as well waste all the money you have very quickly and do not make any profits at all.
