    Default My studio is almost open... UPDATE

    Okay when I last posted about camming I was off to Belgrade to see my bf now my husband... we were in the process of opening a studio that is both virtual and birck and mortar. We're just mere weeks from doing that now... here are some details and if you have questions ask them and Ill answer them...

    1. We have a physical location in Las Vegas with 7 cam suites- each with curtains and a stage/bed with satin , lights and HD cameras. We can also expand easily into the next space where we can triple the suites and also do other production work.
    2. You can work in Las Vegas or from home anywhere in the world like on any network.
    3. Myself and a few Vegas area girls will open the studio and build the traffic for 2-3 months. Marko (my husband) is in the process of securing domains and all that.
    3. You will be paid weekly by 3-4 methods including direct deposit into netspend and other methods. We also will setup ccbill and verotel.
    3. The programmers are working now on the code and it will be a fresh design and allow models to also sell pics and videos, setup payment, verify and also participate in merchandise as well as photoshoots etc.
    4. Our business plan will allow for expansion into NYC, Florida, LA, Dallas and Denver! We also will have limited partnerships available.
    5. Hopefully we will be able to setup new girls by the end of November- I hope sooner but traffic needs to be there.
    6. If youre in Vegas and you want to cam at the live studio we will pay a flat salary plus your tips and full pay during the first 90 days. You would get 2000 a month for working 20 days plus your tips and pay from customers.
    7. We will have group, voyeur and private shows as well as allow models to giveaway 5 minute previews at their discretion and sell clips. It will be 3.99 for group, 5.99 for voyeur (they can see but cant hear or talk to you) or 9.99 for private. Models will start at 50%.

    everything.

    we have the studios being finished now. Theyre just waiting for the satin sheets and the curtains to be delivered and then we'll get the lights installed.

    As for domains we are going to probably announce the name after Labor Day. Then we will have the starter site up. The targeted date for the first day of being live is around october 1st.

    Im only planning to do it myself for a few months then Ill just be managing it and being a mom.

    I dont think think we'll be taing on new virtual girls for a few months but we want t be transparent with revenue and traffic which most sites arent. We wont be connected to any existing company but some of the sites where advertising is placed now will be used.

    My husband and dad are the primary investors. The goal is instead of studios is to franchise and help setup local studios. Like Subway!

    and were not recruiting yet. This is just to solicit input. we'll put the sites out and full disclosure before we ever hire anyone outside a few girls that are opening it with me. Too many new sites come and go and everyone needs to do due diligence before signing up!

    But speaking as someone who is investing money into and most of my savings I want to build something of value and that we can establish a high level of quality control, class and be able to offer a great product and keep the costs reasonable so we build a customer base that is loyal. We also plan to limit the number of girls and to work with ones that are at the top of the camgame!

    If I lived in Vegas, this is something Id actually be interested in checking into...

    What about meals? (Food is important!)

    We would have 8 suites but we had to include a dressing room. Id have to think on how to do meals. I do have 3 spare bedrooms that could sleep 6 with 2 twin beds. A lot is still preliminary. We chose Vegas because we live here now but there also is a lot of transient dancers who come here and we have a great deal on the space with option for the 2nd space.

    All of the suites are elevated platforms closed in by satin curtains and 1 side by plexiglass. And we will have 24/7 production people there who can also help new girls sign up for virtual.

    Nothing is guaranteed but we think we will be able to get a substantial fanbase withn 90 days of going live!

    That looks great! I'm impressed! For sure post when you want virtual camgirls as I'd be interested in it. Or even instructions on how to open a studio perhaps ... although I don't know other camgirls in my area.

    The prices do seem a bit high. I'm not sure that a customer would pay 9.99/min for a private show. Not to be rude or anything but perhaps you should think on that? I just know that people complain about 4.49/min for pvt aha not sure if they'd like 9.99/min, you know? But hey if you get guys that will pay that - I think it will be amazing

    Some will pay. The cheap ones will go for the group or voyeur. That's only $2 more than trueprivate is at MFC.

    Its not that high really. We have time to make changes so it's something to look at.

    Tokens are always so hard to figure out. We even had thought of we charged a flat membership fee we could pay the models more and give the VIP members a better price like half price. We have about 60-75 days to make those changes.

    Keep the input coming Ladies. Thank you!

    True enough, some will pay. Then it will be awesome. Do you people actually do trueprivate on MFC? I'll be honest, I totally forgot it exist. But there aren't a lot of pvts on MFC in general ... although we can't say it's exclusively the high prices or exclusively the fact that girls give shows in free. I think it's a combination of both (personally).

    Personally it's the highest I've seen but yeah I just thought you should consider it, I don't know how you are making your decisions on prices. I know a lot of my customers complain at like $5/min or something but people will always complain!

    i dunno about the tips and the free preview idea. i see it turning into.." ill give u a 10 dollar tip and lets do the 5 min free show ".

    also i too think the prices are too high. its not that i wouldn't love to earn 5 dollars a minute. but i think there is so few people that are able to pay that (i mean its 100 for a 10 min show, that is ALOT).

    even with you bringing your own traffic you have to remember this is not the first time they have seen a cam site for most of them. they will check out ur site..be like omg 10 dollars a minute? oh or 4 dollars for group? yeah i'm going back to streamate where i can get my own private for 4 dollars a minute.

    You seriously tripped me up here! I think tonight is the night of confusing math...having a banter on another board, where members are insisting 6X9=42, and Im beginning to think maybe theres a private joke Im unaware of

    But yeah, at $5/m, its actually $50 for a 10m show.

    My rate on my own site is $3/m with a 10m minimum ($30), which I can get, no ones complained...except to say they will probably blow in less than 10m, to which I say, yay, more time for pillow talk! Eh.

    Before this payment method, I used another one...I was totally Indi so I could set my own prices, but it had to be at least a $25 min, which my rate structure pulls off anyway. But ladies working for them had to work at $5/m starting with a 5m minimum and they got it.

    So just wanted to say...I do not think its too high. There are guys who will pay it...it wont be the guys visiting the big cam sites and getting 1.99/m cam shows of course, but another market entirely.

    the pricing is something were still looking at. one of the things we will have is each girl will be able to list what she will and do as far as nudity level so customers can more easily have that info ahead. if youre more willing to go full nude and do the toys etc you would be able to charge more than say someone doing implied or just topless or even non-nude.

    were also not going to just let everyone sign up, were looking for girls that are not only at the top of the cam game or can be if theyre new but have to be at the top looks and atitude wise.

    we still have a window to figure things out. the live studio is almost done Im hoping to have pics of it available in 2 weeks and Ill do a sample camshow from 2-3 of the studios to show you all the lighting and a virtual tour.

    A couple of things...Amazing idea by the way, hope it does really well.

    1st. I'm not you, but if I was I would steer clear of calling yourself a studio. I would call myself a Cam-Site, with a performance space built in. Since in the USA Studios, oddly don;t have performance spaces, just web sites, where they sign you up and take a lot of your money.

    Plus, there are a hundred "studios" in the US...there are ZERO true cam-sites with a built in performance space. Something to consider, because as I see it, you are squashing your own originality.

    2nd. Thusfar, from what I read, you are one of those sites that will need a huge amount of start-up capital, and it still may never be enough.

    Why?

    Well, combine, being new, which is always hard...with REALLY SKY HIGH prices, and add in that you won't accept all models....Now, that combined with some of your other stuff, leads to absolutely no traffic. And absolutely no traffic leads to absolutely no models, especially of the "truly exclusive" variety. What truly exclusive model is going to come for low traffic?

    Face it, MFC has the traffic it has because it's free (and I'm not talking about the free insertion shit, but even before that, the Rules allowed free nudity and free flashing, and that was how they built their traffic) and SM allows free previews and advertises on tube sites. But tube site traffic will be worthless at an exclusive place like you will have that charges $10 a minute. So where do you plan to get $10 a minute traffic at a level that will sustain many camgirls?

    Seriously trying to help here. Ask anyone who ever started a cam site, and they all tell you that you need a kajillion dollars to promote and get started, because NONE of them have solved the Chicken and Egg dilemma...Girls won;t stay with no traffic, and traffic won't come without a BUNCH of girls, who aren't gonna be there till the traffic comes, which won;t happen till you have a bunch of girls...

    Killed OHC and a few others...made great ideas fail MANY times before.

    So something to consider.

    I have startup capital and my studio space is about 90% complete. I also have a few of my friends who will be working live from the studio while we build traffic.

    We have 7 suites already built and being finished. We have production facility and all that and we will also be hosting reg cam girls working from home so we will have the best of two worlds.

    And again Banbalina I actually dint mind working with a studio. I made the money I wanted to and I never had an issue like many girls because they treated me well and gave me tools to promote myself. Most cam studios dont but the one I did that many of you trashed last winter did help me make more money when I worked for them.

    Yes, ok, that argument is old. No need to re-hash it. Agree to disagree and all that.

    As far as your reply, it didn't honestly cover what I said, and that's ok. Best of luck to you! I hope you do super well, because you seem like you are going n the right direction for camming.

    If you get a chance, re-read what I wrote though...because having 7 girls online is not going to build much traffic. Even having 20, and having 20 is going to be tough when you don't seem to have a well thought out promotion plan. Where are you going to pull $9.99 per minute traffic in BULK? I mean if you are going to charge anywhere near $9.99, you owe it to your models to prove to them their time isn't wasted and that you have a viable plan for pulling traffic.

    As far as other ladies reading this. Not just for this studio, but for ALL new endeavors, including mine, How much are they going to budget for Promotions, Traffic and Ads? Where do they plan to pull traffic from? How can they guarantee you good traffic? Because we all know that without traffic you can't do anything.

    (some stuff is going to be trade secrets type stuff, but overall, they should be able to make you pretty confident that they can get traffic to that site...otherwise they will join the other hundred closed up cam-sites that thought men will just flock to them) [Again AmyLynne, this is not directed at you so much as ANY new endeavor that wants to enter this market]

    Hope you can find the traffic pot-o-gold at the end of the rainbow.
