Im not so keen on the percentages either..but thats what they are.
I also have myself set up to cam indie on my website.. if someone finds me and wants to do business with me that way..cool. If they find me on a site that Im on, I dont redirect them to my indie method.
Im sure that if I put in the amount of time and money marketing myself as these sites do, I would make bank..there are many women who are indi cam models who do pretty good for themselves...they dont have any rules to stick to except their own, and generally I find, at least the ones who seem popular, are in a specific niche that guys really go crazy over and keep coming back just for her.
But yeah...at the end of the day, I am a "goody two shoes" who agrees to the terms I sign up for, and respects the contract I sign when I join a company site. If I dont like the terms or how things work, which has happened a lot..I just stop working there.
If/when I get fed up with all of them, Ill go totally indi and concentrate on brining that traffic to myself, by myself. But its a shit load of work, and will take a shit load of time...and I dont ever seem to have the time or energy to see the money come in, and so I keep on with the sites that do have that time and energy to do it for me and give them the % they asked for when I joined and agreed to it.
For an analogy (cause I dont want to be left out LoL!) If a company said, we'll find you the customers, all you have to do is the work, you get x% and I didnt like my cut, I wouldnt work for them. If I felt I could find all my own customers and do the work and make way more money, I would just do that.
Okay, that wasnt exactly an analogy so I guess Im left out anyway...
