Adult webcam studio 101

[joehoya]

There definitely is a trend for girls doing the cam shows on their own. This will be accelerated as the access to broadband increases and the price decreases.

Regarding the brothel tours idea. I have known of a couple of guys that did that. In fact, one guy from NYC who did that just got murdered in Medellin (professional hit in a restaurant) a few months ago. Then again, he REALLY pissed off a bunch of people, both natives and foreign.

Definitely keep a low profile and BE HUMBLE. I know the temptation is there to life out some kind of imaginary Tony Montana/Pablo Escobar/El Mariachi fantasy when down in Latin America. But take my advice. Don't pretend to be some badass gangster/killer in a city/nation full of REAL badass gangsters/killers.

Would that be this fella? I hadn't heard of him. Did he have a website?

I ran a sex industry business in Bogota, Colombia for about a year - Bogota Brothel Tours. I heard about the webcam business from a client who was looking forward to meeting webcam girls in Medellin he'd already met online. So I started looking into webcam.

As stated in a few posts, a studio doesn't offer much a girl can't do on her own. They're going to be on LiveJasmine and all those sites anyway. It's not as much of an investment as gringos might think for a Colombian or Peruvian whore to get a computer with webcam set up. When I started talking to whores about the webcam business, everyone I met did it from their bedroom.

I had heard of studios in Colombia, but they were in business because they were able to receive payments online, while the whores couldn't. That was the only value the studios provided.

I didn't research much and it was well over a year ago, but I remember coming to the conclusion that the only way to make real money off webcam girls was to provide the affiliate links to their LiveJasmine profiles. LiveJasmine (or whatever webcam site) have sophisticated tracking links that will account for every dollar someone spends after arriving from your site. So in my case, since I'm a blogger, I was going to party with these whores and write about them with affiliate links. But the first time I hung out with one I decided I didn't want to hang out with whores.

Brothel tours, however, would work in any Latin American capital (Lima, BA, Santiago, DF) or high tourism destination.

However, the most important point - keep a low profile with the Peruvian government if you're not a citizen. Try to put assets in a Peruvian partner's name. Latin governments don't want gringos launching sex businesses. I started getting harassed like crazy once I launched the tours, culminating in my pseudo-deportation from Colombia.

BTW, I'm in Arequipa right now. Drop me a line.

Good advice with any government ANYWHERE, whether a citizen or not.

Try to put assets in a Peruvian partner's name.

Poor advice ANYWHERE, especially if you are not a citizen. Just saying.

Yep, that's him. He was a regular in Costa Rica, but burned too many bridges there, so he made his way down to Medellin. I don't know of any website. He mostly hit up the P4P forums on the net.

If you think cam girls—those flirty naked characters that plague porn site pop-up ads—are raking in easy money, you're right. If you think cam girls are bleakly stripping online out of desperation, you're also right. Peel away the sex and pixels and money and you're left with the cloudy truth about the Internet's relationship status with these on-demand entertainers: it's complicated.

I want my three minutes back

Just a heads up to readers of this thread.

It was suggested to me by some people doing this kind of work that it wasn't such a good idea to publicly chronical my activities in this project..

Nothing dramatic or shady, but their arguments made sense to me.

In retrospect, I also think it was kind of a narcissistic, beta thing to do.

So I won't be posting to this thread anymore. Thank to all who contributed. There were some truly interesting remarks.

Still lovin the forum though. See ya'll elsewhere.

Peace

Looks like Romania is the cam capital of the world.

There are plenty of women down here ready to fuck themselves for money.

Cool.

So, how many of them do you have already?

Or are you investing in "brick and mortar" without a single lady in sight?
