My first day, I made $13.96 for about 20 mins of a private show and maybe 20 mins of free chat. You get 35% of the private show take in free chat and 30% if you just deal with members. It is important to know that only members can pay you. My second day, I spent a considerable amount of time (about 3 hours total) in free chat and only made $9.00 in private chat. I haven't done it at all in the last couple of days. Really, it doesn't seem that lucrative unless you really get yourself in with people with some money. The vast majority (a guess would be 95-98%) of all traffic is non-paying guests, what I like to call a waste of time (normally trying to get free "private" shows with no inclination whatsoever to ever spend a dime on the site). No pay, no play. Hope that helps. I have performed on livejasmin now for about 3 or 4 days. My first day, I made $13.96 for about 20 mins of a private show and maybe 20 mins of free chat.

Said so, most people doesn't look only for sex but to "know" in "real" a pornstar. Sorry my poor english. Good article but you missed a thing: most of the performers are or have been pornstars.

It is very doable and profitable. Pantyhose sells! well, you could open something like Pantyhose Addict which makes 200,000 a year, some years more, plus they make affliate pay from other websites.

I understand what the consumer pays, but how much is the take. They, jasminlive, say they pay every two weeks. What's the most made? what's the least? and on average?

I think that maybe your research is a bit off because of using jasmine live. I have worked on that site a little bit and found that the guys on that site are the cheapest I have ever delt with! I believe that they are used to speding such a short amount of time in the rooms because most of the models dont speak English and arnt able to really talk with them. The customers I have on ifriends(36fblonde is my name there) that I talk to and get to know....they stay in my room for a very long time. The lonely guy is my bread and butter...not the horny guy.

Good, to the point, and adresses some of the problems/benefits in the webcam industry. I would have been interested in a more in-depth SWOT analysis and some calculations on profit-margins and so forth, but I suppose its kinda hard to get the necessary data. Porn is awesome btw, I have no moral hesitation whatsoever in catering to the weirdos as long as there is a monetary incentive to do so. Microeconomics ftw... heh, I love the economic analysis.
