    *shrug* that's just off the top of my head. Remember I never actually planned to have a studio. SW is the anti studio remember? Lol. But since it was brought up it's an interesting thing to think about. Oh!

    Also all of my girls would be able to get a wishlist set up on my adult toy website. They are fully confidenctial and each one has to be manually set up upon request so not just anyone can have one.
    Now that I think about this setting up a studio could be very cool. What do u guys think about the ideas so far? Questions? Comments?
    This was your initial message about a studio. You said you were thinking about it so I gave you some ideas and told you what I would do If I were to run a studio. Now you're talking about an affiliate link.. that is not a studio. With an affiliate link, you wouldn't have to worry about "your girls" .. ya know? I was sticking to your original post which said nothing about an affiliate link.

    The toys store Idea is a cool one. Was just giving you my 10 cents. I think the studio idea would be very cool if you could bring something else to the table and not just promotion. Now if you hired Camwhore as your promo partner.. I would join your studio (Well .. maybe)

    I've been in the industry a while, I know how studios are operated. Too bad you made up your mind so soon. You could easily pimp your affiliate links on backpage and advertise on your local newspaper for cam models and just get your own website specifically for model signup (since you wouldn't post your affiliate link in the paper).

    Oh I totally get where I confused you. Let me explain. I have my site, and all I was going to do is promote it. Then I figured, why not post job postings for models using my affiliate link.
    Then Cams jumped in about setting up a permanent recruitment website which seemed like a good idea to me.
    Then you asked about if I was starting a studio. Which I'm not really, but gave you some ideas I would roll with if I did.

    Then I forgot to explain that what I would be pimping out to potential models is just an affiliate link signup not a studio one. But if they wanted to join my... Prestige Cam super elite cam model club (so kind of like a studio don't know what else to call it) they can and I would promote the heck out of them. It's a bit confusing because is there even a term for a studio that's not actually a studio because I wouldn't take a cut of their money but still make money OFF of them? So yeah I consider them "my girls".

    Who said anything about making up my mind so soon? I just said I'm not getting myself into anything, as in a whole huge big deal. I'm just taking things calm and slow and getting ideas and feedback *shrug*

    Nope. You didn't confuse me. If you meant affiliate link then it's no big deal. Anyone can put an affiliate link anywhere. It would be silly to even think about promoting the girls that use your affilate link since you'll be getting only a small one time payment on it. It would only be a waste of time / non-lucrative at all UNLESS you found a way for the models to pay you for promotion.


    I say go for the studio, teach newbie camgirl how it's really done with all you've learned from sw, provide them with benefits and reap the rewards BUT If you're not going to do it. I see it is a cool business op for someone else .

    That's true. Except I thiiiink it's actually a longer payout than that. It might be a percentage of the sales for the first month. So promoting them for a month anyway helps both them and me. So I could tell them to contact me for a month of free promotion to get their name out there.

    **Edit! Just double checked and the model referral commission is 10% for life.

I would make sure they were working out, eating right and not stressed out. I would act as a mentor/friend to my models because I know how stressful being a camgirl can be. I would offer emergency loans to the models that have been with me for at least 6 months. I would also pay on time and offer bonuses to the top earner at the end of the pay period and be consistent. All this and then PROMOTION <<<<<< Girl, You would make bank if you hired camwhore to be apart of your promo team!

    ^ This is a very short list but I see how this can be mentally exhausting.

    See the thing is you want to join your studio. Studios already take a mean percentage so if all they can do is offer promotion.. hell someone like me can do that myself. I'm sure you will come up with something cool though. Just think about what you're getting yourself into here.
    I'd totally be down with joining something similar to this

    That is interesting. Most programs pay one time. What does a longer payout mean? If you get a percentage of what the model makes that is the only way I can see this being financially rewarding.. ya know?

    Ahh ok the 10% Cool beans

    Wouldn't that be awesome? I would love to do that. To help girls become financially independent/secure. I will work on it after I am done with escorting since I travel so much now. It is one cool ass Idea and I know I can pull it off.

    Ok so I checked and it's actually 10% for life on referrals.

    No nothing leaves the models pockets.
    Say normally a model makes 40% and the site takes 60%. If she joined through my referral: model 40%, camsite 50%, me 10%

    Which I think is pretty cool cause the model keeps her money (as she should!!) and then as a thank you and a way to make us BOTH more money I do promotions

    I was approached a few years ago by someone with a similar, but not as genius idea. S/he planned to do exactly like you are, but pay her models 45% .. an extra 5% than if they worked on the camsite it's self .... basically s/he was going to split her/his 10% commision between her/himself and the model, giving the model incentive to join through her/him , and still giving er a % revenue . The idea seemed ingenious, until she came across me , who at the time was listed on every website known to man ... S/he realized if I joined through the studio , s/he was actually not going to be making the extra 10% , because I was not going to be a new model , and s/he was still going to have to be paying me the extra 5% - needless to say , s/he was not up for taking me on .... However the idea of offering promotion in return , is much more appealing - especially because it would cover ALL Girls who wanted to join .....

    I think if you do end up looking into hiring a promoter - You want someone who knows their shit, and can provide references of their work - not just of themselves but of other models too - Bambalina is trained in that area , and seen as you have a good relationship with her , it might be worth picking her brains if you haven't already .

    I'm genuinely excited to see where this will go - It's nice to see models doing something behind the scenes, so to speak . Let's get the men out of the top !

    Yeah, I'm not going to try to blow smoke up anyones ass and offer them a bunch of extra money. I figure they can sign up on there own if they want. But if they sign up through may they can for sure contact me about promoting them to help get their name out there, and hopefully with our combined efforts it will bring in more money. So I can guarantee to not take any money from them and then offer them a free service (free to them) on top of it. Because if they make money, I make money and everyone it happy!

    Yeah, Banb is a gold mine. I looove doing PR, and writing, and being in the adult industry, so to ne this is like, the PERFECT way to go! I get to combine everything I've ever wanted to be when I grew up into one cohesive unit.

    I don't look at it as blowing smoke up anyone's ass. Business is Business. For ex. When you treat your employees well, they make even more money because they're not stressed out. They will WANT to work/come to work. When you offer "bonuses" they want to work even harder. When they work harder you're making more money and you're able to offer them that extra incentive. That is just good business. It's blowing smoke up their ass when you say you're going to do something and don't do it. Why would you not care about getting them signed up? If you don't get them signed up, you won't make any money.. the treat is only motivation. Like Princess Jenny's treat is Daily Pay and damn good promp customer service. Those two reasons are the only reasons I'm signed up. Just giving you an example.

    So since you won't be operating it as a studio and just an affiliate link that you'll be making comissions off of you should come up with something else...

    You know how we see those so called 100an hour fly by night companies? and everyone wants to work with them even though they have bad ratings on google? lol. It's the catch. How many webcam companies start up and don't even have models logged on to their site? The trick is to have the ladies you are promoting actually trying to make money. We all know that a lot of ladies here do not try.

    A good business person should always be consistent btw.

    That's not what I meant, what you're talking about is just plain common sense *eyeroll*.
    When I said not blowing smoke up anyones as I was referring to all the offers we see all the time. "Come with me and I promise you I will triple your earnings in 3 days!!!" I'm not going to promise people rediculousness as an incentive to sign with me. I will be as honest yet as enticing as possible. No need to promise that every one of my girls will make a consistent $10k a month. Or that I can do some kind of voodoo math that some how makes them a higher percentage than signing up on their own oh my GOD I just figured out how to get them a higher percentage... My mind worked it out LITTERALY as I was mocking it! Hahaha! Oh my god I have to go send an email to find out if it can be done the straightforward clean way or if it would have to be the messy complicated way... Brb.

    ^ It's not common sense because you never mentioned it plus you have no clue what I'm talking about, Arial. So no need to roll your eyes. It was a business idea and I was just offering my advice. Anyways, good luck. You seem to know what you are doing.

    Sorry, how does the absence of my mentioning something make it not common sense? That's the whole point of it being common sense, the fact that it usually doesn't have to be mentioned. Good lord...
