In truth, at most the site is making $200 and Jane is making $200. But actually, the number is not even that... because of the discounts for large purchases, the site is making significantly less than $200... it's making closer to $150 to $180 dollars BEFORE THE HUGE EXPENSES.
Secondly, you have no idea how much bandwidth and servers cost. A single Dell web-worthy server (which I happen to own one of for my own purposes) costs nearly $100,000 and that doesn't count the minimum T3 to run just a few of those servers which runs in the TENS of THOUSANDS a month.
Bandwidth is VERY VERY VERY expensive especially when you are dealing with the amount of traffic that MFC has to deal with.
And that doesn't even include advertising, promotion, trade shows, attorney fees, employee salaries (yes, it takes marketing people, web people, server administrators, IT guys, office personnel, secretaries, assistants, etc, etc).
My father before he passed away wholly owned and operated a small studio in California for B-horror movies and other small big screen ventures, and the amount of money it takes to do such is unfathomable.
I applaud you girls for wanting to start your own cam site, it's a great idea. But if you intend on promising girls for that say, 60% of revenues, then you will be sued and ran out of business in less than 6 months. You have no idea how expensive owning a real company is.
I'm not talking AVON sales here, I'm talking expenses you've never even imagined, and I can promise you it's gonna cost a lot more than $100 per investor times 100 girls. You better raise at least $500,000 in capital before even thinking about partaking in such a venture, and in all honesty, that's not even enough.
So I say, all you girls, throw your hard earned dollars into it--if you can afford to waste that $100 that will absolutely positively be a wasted investment because it's just not enough money--then go for it!
In all reality, 100 girls will need to put up $10,000 each to make the venture work. Nothing short of $1-million total to get this thing working will be sufficient. If you think I'm wrong, then be my guest, do it... but I promise you, you will all lose every dime you put into it.
I'm not a lame brained cam girl, I'm a business major who was raised in the "business". You girls are in for a rude awakening...
