There used to be a show in Canada on Showcase called Webdreams, they would follow different people in different parts of the industry. One was this cam girl, I don't remember much about it, just that she had this super douchey do nothing skater BF who constantly gave her drama and showed up to the studio and things. I am sure you can find it online.

Welcome to the 90s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Ringley

The cam girls in stripperweb are not nice at all with who is not a cam girl! You can write in their forum only if verified cam girl, hey do not allow to write at all unless you are one of them. Plus they fight and ban each other at times, they banned "bambalina" who was a female Paul Markham, this made the forum very boring to me, like a GFY without Paul Markham (a feminist version of).
I tried to contribute in another stripperweb area where anyone can post, only when they asked stuff regarding how running a cam site (after all it make sense everyone in their business can contribute, even the cam site guy?), but most of them will say site managers are all assholes pimps liars who steal money from the girls, and I gave up, trolls in GFY are way more bro's than those sista's.

About niches to get in... the cam biz?
The issue of cams it is the social factor, the software it is not important, and register 1000 cam girst in a week also not useful, it matters how many regular users you got and keep long term, to have any value. And to get so many regulars in a niche it is even more difficult, as the big generalistic sites got enough models per fetish section to make a separate site, see jasminfetish.com from livejasmin for example. And if your site is "no models online" most time of the day, you're dead no matter what.

I think the last timeframe to launch a cam site easily it was 2005 or perhaps 2006. Note that myfreecams is with us since 2004, it is not true that it is a "new" site, as well as livejasmin, streamate, flirt4free, imlive, everyone is from before, and that counts. Launch now it is "not easy" as minimum. I welcome the chaturbate's, bongacams's and freecamstars's and wish some will rise over the old giants, but I would not bet my cash on it :)
Much like I do not advise to launch competitors of facebook ("I got a software better than facebook" = "I got a cam site better than myfreecams"), I would never advise anyone to invest in a new cam site if I am his friend, even if he got a million dollar to invest in it and he wishes. I know of $500,000+ cam investments gone fail (domain names redirects elsewhere now, or 0 model sonline forever) in past 2 years - I will not tell who, but trust me :)

I would suggest instead to use that cash for merge & acquisition, to buy small old cam sites and consolidate. If he got several million, to buy bigger old cam sites who got revenue and members of course (not to buy dieing site - again not making names here lol).
I am saying with current competition only super corporation mega cam companies who own mega old regular customers databases can do the mega profits with scale economy. It is much like every other business, no more pioneers there.

May you question yourself why manwin buy realitykings, but naked.com cam site NOT part of the deal? May question why manwin buy everyone but cam programs, first and last one it was webcams.com back in 2010, and they do not promote it but streamate in their sites. May you question why who got money to launch or buy cam sites does not make it, and who got no money to proper launch it will launch? :)

good info as always

actually that is strange, never realized it but why don't they push their own platform webcams.com as much as possible?

With all due respect, sw is industry representative-friendly, provided one is not a virtual studio owner, isn't spamming inappropriately or misrepresents his/her role in the company. There are several industry reps on sw who have earned the respect of the community, because they contribute to our community and are upfront regarding who they are and what they hope to gain by being there.

Aside from the aforementioned examples, most of the drama occurs when site reps post about their companies and don't anticipate having to answer questions and receive critiques of their sites or business plans. Camming is a business, yet many of the site reps who post on sw treat the forum as solely an advertising venue, and treat us like errant children who are 'bitches' for asking relevant questions regarding the particulars of their sites. It's ludicrous that so many individuals do not comprehend that, when posting on an industry forum populated by saavy business women who understand the industry, site reps need to anticipate that they will receive industry-related questions and critiques.

SW doesn't work that way, and that won't change. The fact that we are tough doesn't mean we're any less supportive of each other.

adultmobile tell more people about it here.

I read stripperweb for entertainment. There are a handful of very intelligent professionals there. HOWEVER, that forum is totally tailored to express the views of the site mods/owners so it seems like its not really a place where a person can openly express themselves without being censored which is total garbage imho.

That isn't the header you paid for is it?

Part of what I will miss the most about working at DatingGold is hearing the tales from the WebCamClub staff :)

I could show lots of my posts where girls hate as soon when figure "hey this is a cam site, he is evil". However I want to show the good side of stripperweb, in a few posts I made and they even said thanks, this one I made about how to solve a Flash bug:

http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...ance-cam-video

However as soon as it was made a "discussion" like those we may do in GFY, and it was made clear I run a cam site... there it comes the issue "why he is even reading our forum? he will use this information against us", even if a minority would say cam sites give them work and some are honest, then girls starting to fight each other lol.. and such Bambalina and someone else who was opinionated - but at least could make Paul Markhamish discussions with anyone including me - it was simply banned.

No, it's all my own work.

The ever-increasing interest in cams and cam-related stuff is amazing. The true future of porn. The last hope. :2 cents:

I actually think there's some truth to what you're saying, although I attribute the 'slant' of sw (so to speak) to a different source

sw is primarily a place for women who work in the sex industry (dancing, escorting, camming, PSO) so we do centralize our needs and aims. When I stated that it is an 'industry friendly' environment, I should have qualified that. SW is friendly to reps who realize that they are entering a sex-worker space and who are willing to give as much as they take (free publicity, seeking customers and cam chicas for their sites, etc)

The central aim of the camming section of sw is providing emotional support to our peers and striving to share knowledge regarding the skills required to make as much $$$$$ as is possible. We do censor virtual studio spammers, we do censor guys who post in the wrong areas, and we do centralize our needs and goals. Sometimes those goals mesh with those of industry reps, and sometimes they don't. We'll continue to ban anyone who tried to trick chicas into signing up to sites through virtual studios, for example, and we will continue to call out reps who lie about who they are. We'll also continue to mock site reps with half-baked business plans who spam sw trying to find cam chic sign-ups for their new sites. As often as not, though, when a site rep/agent/studio is called out for shady tactics, they're the ones begging for censorship. They want threads locked and deleted so that evidence of their behaviour gets erased.

I definitely don't consider sw to be 'garbage' for setting clear rules on appropriate conduct, rather, I think it's a function of having a clear mandate

As a mod on that site I can say that I strive to make decisions based on what the sex worker members of our site want from our community there, as do the other mods. I really do try not to impose my own personal opinions, but I make no apologies for making decisions based on what serves the needs of cam chicas. That's the primary aim of 'our' section of the site.

Anyway, this is the second time I've derailed this thread having a cool discussion with you, so I'll stfu now :)

back to the crazy customer stories. Why is there no 'dudes who stick q-tips in their urethras' post yet?! :)

If the SW site gets out, it could destroy the whole penis enlargement industry. hahahahah

No the header was free, this is one of the banners I paid for.

First of all, one of the moderators of stripperweb it is also an admin at my sites, but I will not tell who... I mean I respect admins of SW, the issue it is not in admins but the sole fact you can't handle a cam girls forum without end up unfairly pro-strippers, so clean from any trace of risky talk that would "cause emotional distress" :)

Ok about studio and site reps wanting to hire models with shady tactics, and it is hilarions when some scammers are exposed (including copy&paste of yahoo/icq chats, this busting it is what makes boards interesting, including GFY), but I was talking only of the other cases, that you do not talk about.

For example models banned and forever, for talking politics or being a little troll, one I remember it is Bambalina (she just said should boicott sites paying 30% and should do cam girls union so minimum payment is 50%, how cam job was better in 1990's or so, she was not more 1970's and opinionated than Paul Markham in GFY), and there are more girls that was banned. May you tell me how a model it is a site rep with shady tactics?

In GFY, Paul Marlham it was not banned, instead he got his own section :)
Ok, Rothstein it was banned, but VenusBlogger is still there, PIRIOD.
I mean I could understand censorship in islamic or catholic board, but in adult one?

About site reps, I was not banned or scolded by admins ever, as I never asked any model to join our sites, got no signature at all so no way I could even indirectly. But it is the same I was banned because you moved the cam talk to a section I can't write into, only the models can, so it is the same as banning everyone at once, and you had banned a few people who posted industry politics stuff anyway, there's only "emotional support" left, or talking badly of sites as a vent (how can a site talk here lol).

This is not just in stripperweb, I read the russian and romanian language cam girl forums and I got called a "moron" (so google translate say) quite often there too. Note the cam girls from these countries try all the sites, including ours, so they more likely write a report from experience; while stripperweb's are mostly westerns who just sit in same 3 sites: streamate, mfc, adultwork, you see it from topics. the other sites they talk bad without having tried even, just by guess.
Now, the reps of streamate, mfc etc. are not writing in stripperweb, wouldn't it be more cool if they was there writing, like that's a cooperation for everyone to be more happy and do more $$ - but they could not (if they wished), as they're not cam girls.
May I say it is like if in GFY only the verified affiliates it could write, but not the program reps. Would this make sense? no. But in stripperweb, it makes sense :)

:2 cents: My thoughts exactly.

For an industry that leans on the 1st amendment, its very fucking strange to see an adult industry forum being run the way stripperweb is. I can understand deleting spam but I've been told by multiple people that mods will actually delete your comments if they don't like your opinion or if you are too outspoken or "rude" lol.. pansies. Kinda fascist if you ask me.

EDIT: There is still good entertainment there and info for the members

I receive call from one of my models. I was surprised when she told me that she have different "work day.". The client is asked to make pancakes and spread skirt like an accordion.

Why do you care? It's their site; they can run it how they want. If you don't like it, don't go.

Why do you care what he says? It's his post; he can write it how he wants. If you don't like it, don't read it.

And where did I say I don't like it, idiot?

Hey dicknose, go fuck yourself :thefinger

This post should be censored, hey admins where are you? :)

By then they'll probably be computer generated. I'm sure there's already someone working on (or actually producing) realtime interactive computer generated content. I run a sex bot chat site (text) and even though it's a fairly simple pattern matching script there's a ton of return visitors. The fact that they're NOT talking with a real human is the attraction (although some users are too stupid to realise it's a bot)

I am sure several human cam customers would fail a turing test ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test "If the judge cannot reliably tell the machine from the human, the machine is said to have passed the test." ).

My site does rank well for generic dirty chat terms (no reference to robots), but it has "bot" in the domain name and a picture of a robot on every page, including chat. Still, some people don't seem to get it... and I'm not just talking about those who barely know how to string a few English words together. One girl seemed to be quite intelligent, she was chatting with the bot for several consecutive days, then slowly came to the realisation that it wasn't a real man. She was pretty upset when she logged off for the last time, I kind of felt sorry for her.

I think the people that are 100% aware it's a computer can be more daring with what they type, letting out their secrets or fantasies without worry of being ridiculed. Occasionally the bot trolls them and claims its human, or the responses just happen to fall into place really well, so they get freaked out when they think it's actually a real person they're talking with.

I bet it would go a similar way with a visual webcam chat bot, although the CGI would need to be pretty good to further the realism. Won't be long, if it's not already happening. :thumbsup

What about a GFY bot poster, call it Paul

As others have said, the dick size posts are hilarious, that is when all the "nice guys" come out and say "hey, mine is small but I am a good lover" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh I read the site primarily for laughs but it should be required reading for any male. The love-hate going on there for men is epic.

Everything is 2006, 2008 .... Even tubes are impossible to get into.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:2 cents::2 cents::Oh crap

That's pretty nice actually, kind of artistic. :thumbsup

I once knew of a man with a peeking turtle fetish .

what does that mean?

Its when the girl bends over, spreads her cheeks, and just lets the start of a stool pass from her anus.

With a bit practice, she can suck it back in again, and keep it popping in and out for a while.

Its known as the 'Turtles head' and the fetish is known as 'Turtling' :2 cents:

that's pretty disgusting... :thumbsup

I know :upsidedow

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That is correct

This is technically scat show, so credit card companies would not allow it if they knew is done on a cam site and paid with a card would remove the merchant acct.
For some reason they are fine with pee.

at least she keeps her toys organized and on a towel. The girls who have them lying around everywhere on the floor and then go ahead and shove them right up confuse me. yummm floor lint :)

These guys are the creepers that beg for a Skype show or want your private info. They try to get around everything because they need to see poop shoot lol

they should just be happy with some chocolate pudding :winkwink:. Give them a change to work out that imagination.

Haha I know right

yummmmm... snack packs.
