Just charge an extra $975 for support.

I like the way you think :thumbsup

.

It depends on the competition and the availability. It used to be easy to sell a $39.95 monthly paysite membership which would rebill on average three times in certain niches. Now that is harder because it's available for free with other free options all over the internet and in the top of Google. The same goes for scripts too. Why would you set a price of $25 and sell 1,000 copies if you could set the price at $900 and sell 950 copies still? You have to find the maximization point. Because competition is low the maximization point is probably pretty high right now. :)

Exactly. You can sell 1000 copies of a $25 POTD or hardlink manager or some little simple script that won't require much support - but somethign like a cam script you would go nuts supporting 1000 clients.

Just reinforces this:

Which pretty much describes me perfectly ;p

...and don't forget the increased cost of support!

Yep, and in the case of a webcam script (and you know this a whole lot better than I do) we end up with installs using Wowza, Red5, Adobe and whatever else comes on the market and it needs to work with all of them in order to satisfy he masses.

Haven't even started discussing the Flash versus HTML5 stuff and what effect that is having and will have on webcam scripts going forward.

I know a few girls paying their rent with their webcams having guys send them paypal and western union.

Yeah, the independent webcam girls using skype and various ims is a growing niche. :thumbsup

2much offers an excellent solution and Mark provides customer service that is unparalleled in this industry. He cares about his business and his clients and will work with you every step of the way to help. 2much IS the solution you're looking for and you should have contacted mark before even starting this thread.

That said I do see the point you were trying to make. It just came off wrong I think. Especially on this forum where everyone is just hanging around waiting to pounce on drama. So yes. You're right. There should be more scripts readily available. But you're wrong to say there are none. There are plenty if you look and if you contact owners they are more than ready to help.

Just the wrong place to post this question really lol. Waaaay too immature out here for legitimate discussions. Maybe you should try starting a thread about how you farted this morning when you woke up. Then you'll see more views, more replies, and more support from others who did the same. Lol

Good luck.

Fiddy cheap and easy webcam solutions :thumbsup

Yes I see your point, I looked at Too Much about 6 years ago and on a couple of occasions since. I didn't say I couldn't afford it I said I didn't want it, because I want control of the hosting. At the other end of the scale is Videowhisper which I have no confidence in at all. However today has been very successful as I have located the "perfect" solution. It's a cam script for $800, with exactly the functionality I require. When it's all setup you can take a look.

buy cheap, buy twice.

I bet you a crisp ten pound note you won't ever bump this thread with the cheap ass solution you've chosen.

and fuck me, I thought I was a cunt on this board. you totally take the biscuit.

Can't argue with that

Hello!

Good look with your new cam site. 800$ is nothing if it work fine for what you need.
Usually the custom solutions for sites like MyFreeCams may cost 85k-100k USD ready to use cam site.
The big problem for this type of sites isn't the cam script. The big problem is the cam traffic, the models and live video streaming that eat a lot of resources and require a lots of unmetered media servers that cost a fortune. That may explain the "success" of all the small cam sites which run on the latest years around.
Can you please share with us the name of the cam script which you found it?

Well if you have traffic.. this can be several thousand dollar a month in hosting billing... also the machines itself.. for 2 cam sites I have like 5+5 = 10 dedicated boxes and they're not so big. But really if you have traffic you have sales, so you can pay whatever hosting, just saying if you do a popunder campaign that cost in traffic (and servers or site hangs) more than what you pay for buy the popups itself.

I too would like to know the name of the script. We have clients who contact us but that we can't work with for various reasons, who we then refer to other cam software providers. If the solution you found is good let us know so we can send our non-clients to them.

with this king of scripts cheap scripts with customization are more expensive than cheaper solution what was already tested. Flash coding isn't like PHP where you found the bugs, fix its and run all fine.

Good Luck!
