Pay Per Hour Web Camming
Hello,
It's me again! I need some advice ladies...please and thank you. I need to
get my site jump started. So I am thinking about paying models per hour.
What I need to do is put together a schedule of girls that will be working
around the clock so that the affiliates can push sales.
12 girls working 3 at a time on 6 hour shifts
18 girls working 3 at a time doing 4 hour shifts
One or the other. What I need to know is what would be a good price to
pay the models hourly? The hourly rate would come from the $4.99 trial
period we charge for members to join.
Trust me...these affiliates can sale Raid to a Bug, Salt to a slug!

Hi Wick.
Getting 30 performers who are dedicated enough and reliable on public forums may prove hard.
For the 4.99 trial what does the client get in return? If its a constant 4-6 hour "private" session you may be looking at very high wages hourly. If its just a chatroom style 4-6 hour session then around the $10 mark or just below would probably win most performers over as this (i think) would be the highest paying hourly rate site around.

Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
the last site i worked for that paid hourly, tanked.
before they tanked they were paying the models 10 an hour plus comission up to 30 hours. they started losing money. so they dropped the models hourly. pissed off alllll the models. all the models quit.
be careful with this. they werent.
in any case, i love sites that pay hourly, so let me know when your site is live :)

Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
I may have read it wrong but isnt the hourly rate just a kick start and not designed for long term use?
eg, the site isnt an hourly pay site exactly, just the opening phase of it. Then it will revert back to % based.

Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
If it is just chatroom style $10, topless chatroom $12, If it's like a 4-6 hour pvt show ummmm, girls will be expecting at least $30/hr if you expect them to be puting on full "pvrivate" type shows on an hourly rate.

Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
This should be interesting.

Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
I kinda got the impression that the $2 they would pay per hour (see jobs thread) would be just to be there, and you would still get your normal $$$ from privates
-
Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
It's pretty clear that hour paying cam sites usually have more drama then needed. I will stick with comission sites.
-
Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
Hmm ok to answer some questions quick.
The site is commission based paying from 50% - 70% per minute with the models being able to
set their own pay per minute rate.
It would be 4 - 6 hours of chat where members can tip the models and take them to private.
This is just a campaign to kick start the site. How long it lasts depends on what kind of
response we get from it. And if the affiliates can do the sales that they claim.
Paying $10 an hour...Would be paying $5040 a week for 18 girls. There is no way that would
be sustainable unless a site is backed by some serious cash.
Yes Becky the $2 is just to be there plus you get commission. This is not an offer for girls who
only work one site. This is for girls who are good at working multiple sites. Just split your
broadcast across our site and make $2 an hour for doing it.
If you are a girl who does 4 hours or more on came already. Then it is an extra $50 or so
a week for you. The traffic is low so it is not like you are really going to be chatting much.
And if you do get a customer in to chat...they are a paid member so you know they have
some kind of money because they paid to join the site.
Crispy my site is live now but sorry I do not think I can afford you at $10 an hour. :)
The idea is this...split your broadcast across another site and make an extra $200 a month.
I mean for me that's a couple nice dinners or My AT&T bill for the month.
At $10 an hour that's almost $2000 a month! For not showing any nudity! That's
rent, car payment, insurance, and all of my bills paid for the month!

:) I know...I was just being playful }:D
yea I could see how it would backfire going at those rates. Yea it would be
great for the girls...until you go broke and can't pay or you have to cut the
rates back. The thing that kills me is that the models on the site have a
very good idea of how much a site is banking. Would have been a better
move had the girls accepted the pay cut and got the Hourly money. But
as you said they stopped working...which means they cut off their nose
to spite their face!
For anyone who is reading this and say I am not doing it for $2. We are
not asking you to be nude...you can be dressed in your favorite snowsuit
for all we care. Just give us a live feed to broadcast across our site and
make sure that when members do come in...you do not ignore them.
Trust and believe if I was a model I would be on it already! :P

Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
I totally get that you are offering an hourly just so that there are girls online, which in turn will bring in custies, which in turn will give the girls $$$$ from privates. I'd be very happy to do it, but unfortunately I am not the sort who keeps a schedule or logs on for long periods at a time (getting me to stay more than 10mins some days is pretty much impossible!)
The only question I guess, is what happens when the girl goes private on another site if she does what you suggest and split cams? I guess in the early days it doesn't matter too much if she leaves the stream running becuase there won't be that many custies, but I'm guessing most girls won't be comfortable with that.

I do studio work and home camming. In total I'm on 3 sites.
I work on a base of $50/hr +30% commissions or $5/min where I make an average of $85/hr. Each site I'm on offers something different.
$10/hr would have to offer me a lot of incentive...such as heavy traffic to my site, video & pic sales, off line tipping and a high commission rate.
Well...I am not looking for $100 an hour girls...

Speaking for myself, one of the main reasons I am working from home is that I have responsibilities that require very flexible hours.
The only way I could commit to a certain number of hours per day is if I had a window of time to get those hours in, for instance perhaps 10 hours in which to get those 6 hours in, or 8 hours to get those 4 hours in. There is no way I could be able to commit to a straight shift starting and ending at a certain time.

Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
oh come on guys lmao, we work at home..
i'm sure if we loved the site we could set aside 3-4 hours a couple days a week to work a site..
i'm in! :)
-
Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
Laurie...well...if you did work would you be able to notify them in advance before you went on.
See the key here is to bring the models and affiliates online at the same time. What good is
having models online if your affiliates are not pushing traffic...and what good is having
affiliates pushing traffic and sales if there are no models on. :( that is the hardest part to
conquer...solve that problem and you will make a lot of money :)

A couple days a week, yes. I was under the impression it was to be a full week? Maybe I misunderstood.

Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
you know what....I am not picky...I will take what I can get at the moment :)

Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
I have a better idea for you, which makes things WAYYY less confusing for the site owner and potential models.
Instead of worrying about an hourly, and all of the drama that comes along with it: hours worked guidelines, girls not performing, paying an hourly wether or not you will have paying members, and so many more headaches...why not offer new models who sign up within 3-6 months a bigger % rate.
If you have loyal models, then you could offer THOSE models an hourly rate to keep them motivated and online.
If I was you I would worry first and foremost about running a site well, making sure your models get paid on time every time, and building a good reputation between models and members. Adding an hourly rate into the mix and then possibly having to nix it or the site all together can be disastrous!
Your payment percentage is very fair and you certainly have alot of people intrested including myself. Let us know how it goes!

Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
Cyberstripper, you have some very good points, take a look at things from my side.
Affiliates are really hard to come by...it is easier to get models onto the site then to get affiilates
to work a new site. I got a call one day almost a year ago from a payment processor. He told
me about a team of affiliates companies that were looking for a webcam chat to sale.
This team has over 1000 sub affiliates that will work the site once it is up and going. So I spent
the next 9 months trying to get the site along with the affiliate system up and running.
1000 affiliates is a number to recon with but I can't get the full sales force until I have a
certain amount of models on 24/7. I didn't want to start the hourly pay but I have no idea
how to get models to come on the site and work longer than 30 or 40 min. $2 an hour is
something that I can sustain with the charge for the trial membership alone. So instead of
putting the $5 in my pocket every time an affiliate makes a sale...it will go to the girls to
pay them hourly.
Now if I pay $10 like umm..some other models from another forum suggest...well...that would be
very problematic. I see models like that joining up just to get as many hour in as they can
before we go belly up!
-
Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
Look...i would give models 80% if I knew that it would get them to my site and get them working
. The problem is that 80% of nothing...is nothing! :( That is how a lot of models will look at it.
It is rare to find a model who will stick with a site that has no traffic...my only other alternative
is to start up a studio here in Colombia.
With a studio I can have the girls not only work my site but they can work on other sites also.
Please if anyone has any ideas or input please speak up...I need all the advice I can get!

Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
Who ever said they were on a base rate of $50 an hour is most likely telling fibs and I wouldnt put too much trust in the other forum. SV have just started with no hourly rate and have 1-3 tops performers on most times I log in. Would 1-3 models at any given time be enough for you to start?
If you had 1 up on SV with hourly pay for the first example 60 models with no scheduled times for them to work then im sure you could have a small steady stream of models to work your way up with. Once work spreads about high turnovers/traffic the models will flock to the site.
-
Re: Pay Per Hour Web Camming
I seem to have missed this but what is SV? And how would I go about using
SV? 1 - 3 models online at any given time would be great. As this would
give the affiliates a model to push sales for.
That is what they have been trying to get me to accomplish because the
team works 24/7 and they would like to have 1 - 3 models on my site 24/7.
I have had over 50 girls sign up but...getting them to work...that is another
story. :)
