I’ll have to take your analysis with a grain of salt. I’m sure their earnings are much much higher. Still, it’s a good start for a fairly conservative estimate. Just goes to show that there is a lot of money in pron. After all, that’s what the Internet is for … right? Right??

Hi guys,

I’m the owner of cams4pleasure. And I feel obligated to react since your conversion rates are way off.

First off all the conversion rates depend mostly on the traffic source. The conversion rates you suggest are from the worst possible traffic out there ( I’m talking goat herders in pakistan or something ).

I know one site, also in belgium, that has 10% conversions with google adwords ( I did the test as an affiliate before I started my own site, 1000 clicks in Belgium got me rougly 100 conversions of wich 90% phonepayments 10% creditcards ).

So more pageviews does not mean more conversions. it all depends on the traffic source.

why don’t you just promote yourself snowymn? We as affiliates promote you and the website, so you should just go to some irc channel, chat with some perverts and get some conversions, or create a website to just redirect people, your own personal blog, you will surely get some conversions. Try some PPC campaigns.

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. 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.

Good article but you missed a thing: most of the performers are or have been pornstars.

Said so, most people doesn’t look only for sex but to “know” in “real” a pornstar.

Sorry my poor english.
