Well, of course I am going to encourage people to buy my product, but there's nothing wrong with that. And to be very clear, I never tell that it's an "investment". We even say so on our site that LiveCamNetwork is a "tool", nothing more. He is also clearly shopping around, so he knows there are lots of alternatives to us. Didn't mean to be spammy; I just have a big forum-mouth.

I don't wonder why at all. Some people who get into the webcam (or other adult) biz are blinded by visions of rap music videos and think that adult is nothing more than being surrounded by girls with big tits, limo's, cash and drugs. Even when we tell people that this is a serious business and to be prepared to do alot of work and spend alot of money, their dreamy dreams still take over.
There are alot of people I flat-out refuse to work with. For example, here are some of the calls we have received in the past few months. These are all real.
- "I don't need a computer for this, do I?"
- "Why do I need to advertise if I already have a website?"
- "I want to tell customers its girls but when they go private it they find out they are really chatting with are trainnies. Guys love that shit!! But I don't want to advertise trannies on my site because that would be gay".
- "Where can I put my server so I don't need to get photo ID's of the boys I hire?"
- "I moved to the Philippines because American police won't leave me alone"
- "When people are born in the Philippines they are already at age 1. Therefore I can hire 17 year old girls right?"
- "I'm going to spam 1 Million people. Even if I only get 10% at $100 sign ups that's still $10,000 !!"
- "My 48 year old wife can pass for a teen no problem!"
- "So I'll buy ads on my credit card then stop the payment. Then I'll go to another ad place buy up the ad space and stop that payment too" (..he said while asking me if he could buy our software by credit card)
- "Chargebacks are bullshit! I should be paid even when there is a chargeback. It's not my problem its your problem! I demand you call CCBill and make them change their policy RIGHT NOW or I will sue you!"
- "Can I rebill my customers but not tell them about it?"
- "Can I run recorded videos instead of live feeds? Stupid geek losers who pay for this shit won't know the difference and they're fags anyway"
Noobs, sigh.
