Topic: Bitcams - page 5. (Read 37466 times)

Haha. Well said sir. You guys want to see a working example of a Bitcoin porn site. Here you go: http://wetcoin.co.cc
I made it in like 4 fucking days entirely by myself. The co.cc domain was free. I simply host it as an add-on domain to one of my existing hosting accounts. So the whole thing basically cost me nothing. Except for the porn videos, which were cheap anyway. And I've basically made that back now anyway. I do need some more videos though.

Note: you obviously wont be able to be a cheap ass like me when it comes to a hosting a cam site though.

A membership management script capable of taking bitcoin costing $1000 plush an adult designer which costs $3000 to $4000? and custom CMS? why does it have to be custom if your going to pay THAT much just do it from scratch... and if your paying $1000 for a web design your getting over charged. I've never in my life have seen a $1000 web site design in my entire 10 years of porn viewing experiences they are all cookie cutter HTML+css with some gradients which take 2 seconds to make.
I was able to integrate bitcoins into my redistributable software in a day... A DAY!! why does it cost this much for porn??
Who are is your programming team so I know who not to get ripped off from... get a life

An adult website designer is someone who specialized in high-conversion site designs. Conversion ratio is the percentage of people who visit your site, to those whom signup. It is expressed at 1/500 etc. Better quality traffic improves your conversion ration, as does website design.

A reputable Adult site designer will have a portfolio of sites with community known conversion rates. Their skills are honed by designing, then refining hundreds of sites through multi-variant testing. The top designers have waiting lists several months long- and the hard numbers to justify it. An inexpensive designer may convert at 1/2000, and expensive one at 1/700.

Since conversions are recurring income, and designers are a one time expense, it is seldom worth saving yourself a small amount of money, and losing far more every month for the duration of that designs use. The most basic of newbie mistakes is DIY design, the design pays for itself faster than anything.


I'm sure you don't. That's why this is a profession and everyone can't just walk up and get rich.


Of course, it's easy. Most people just never think of putting up a template, a few stock scripts and grabbing 10% of the market. Kudos to you for being the first to try.


You used a free forum script (SMF), and changed one image in a stock template (Dziner). So you can use FTP, congratulations. This is the basis for your rather unrealistic assessment of your skill set.


Yes. Failing to understand even what defines a "better" design, or how that is quantified, you are unlikely to achieve it.


You won't be able to use a stock CMS for a live streaming chat application. It's not like your site where you uploaded a single folder and that was it.

A more frighting example of the Dunning–Kruger effect I have never seen. It's a bit like watching a train wreck.

Why do you think a CMS should cost so much? And whats an "adult designer". I have been looking at some of the top sites, livejasmin.com, www.cam4.com/ , www.sexcams4free.com/, and I honestly don't see anything special about any of them. I will most likely be designing the site, and judging by the #1's on google, the competition ain't seeming as tough as you're pushing Missy. Once again I urge you to look at the indisputable quality of my past work http://tweetforum.com, and tell me I can't design a template better than livejasmin, and if so are you serious? Remember a "design" in the end is just a template. A template that goes over which ever CMS we decide to use, and judging by my competition, I honestly think I can do way better. The most valid point you made was that this will take active promotion, and that's where all the investors that are signing on will come in. They will fuel the marketing aspect of all this, I have a very big PR campaign planned, and I am looking for all the help I can get.

Sure, let us all know how that works out for you.

To anyone actually considering and capable of undertaking this project, I'd offer the following.

A membership site requires an adult designer (3-4k) and a custom CMS (2-4k), a membership management script capable of taking Bitcoin (1k if hardened). It makes no sense to offer shares (recurring income) for a one time expense.

If you build a site, it will then be on the radar of the large players- that's where they look. They think it terms of competing websites- not competing apps. So you've just substantially shortened your lead by announcing that your business model will work on their websites just fine. So their coders will get cracking. This website won't get any traffic without an affiliate program, that cuts into profits and requires a large advertising budget to get the word out to potential affiliates (1k month).

This is one of the problems with businesses started with outside capital- it's easy to spend other peoples money. If it was their own money the developers would come up with something simple and clever, if they have funding- lets have a money fight. If they don't get sacks of money, they claim they can't start anything because no one will fund them.

A simple App website advertising it's functionality (if you use the same UI designer as the app it saves money), and providing a Market link is sufficient. Ideally it's creation would be paid for by income generated from just the initial Android app. Done properly it requires more skill and planning than it does capital. The other guys always have more capital so it's a lousy tool to try and compete with.

All you need is a mobile app programmer, a lawyer and probably a UI designer- the latter two are a one time expense. There's really no need management or any additional staff beyond a single developer/owner. No one else is needed and they will just cannibalize profits and hurt growth. There is no reason this can't be bootstrapped by a single developer. The other skills required are modest, one time expenses.

If I was into BDSM I would totally hire her, these posts represent a woman that will remind you what the word dominate means with every glance or some shit.  If I had a very specific cam site in mind, I would definitely go with her too.   But only these things.

I'm sure I'm the one they are laughing it.

I'm listening to you thanks for all the GREAT free advice. I was not thinking along the lines of a mobile app till you mentioned it! Thats actually a wonderful idea, and can easily be integrated to our current working concept.

EDIT:BTW there are many people looking at this thread right now that think you're a clown. I don't , I think you are a smart business women who has alot to contribute to this, but you said you don't want in, what do you want? To destroy the project ? I still don't understand what your intentions are here other than to troll a perfectly healthy thread.

No, I act that way when people are not just dismissive- but rude to those who take the time to offer professional, qualified advice.


Look, anyone who wants to do this for real just ignore Vegetta's silly bloated proposal and get Mobile app coder and a lawyer.

1. The first hurdle for cams is talent. First you need to lower the barriers for entry to them. Right now, between faxed releases and IDs it's at least a week- plenty of time to change their mind or be talked out of it. You want impulse, low barrier adoption. Cute 20-something are interesting going shopping now- regular income and sitting around is a tough sell (attendance in most Adult businesses goes up 20% the last week, and down 20% the first week of the month because of rent money- few workers have any savings or any interest in it). Quick cash for what they want, and what they can't get under current business models.

2. Most men who buy porn, cohabitant.

1 and 2 have been the case for quite some time, the following are recent developments that the industry has not moved to take advantage of due to legacy technology investments and complacency.

3. Most hot girls, don't use computers anymore- this is key. Only three of my ladies own computers at home- and all are avid internet users.

4. Wireless cellular broadband is widespread, and cheap.

5. The most recent generation of smartphones have a front facing camera and support two way video chat.

6. The rear, built in high resolution cameras are of sufficient resolution to photograph anf upload an ID.

7. With text scrolling on the screen, the front facing camera can record and upload a video of a model reciting an oral contract.

8. Bitcoin is the ideal- and only practical means of payment as getting merchant account approval for the above would be nearly impossible. The product is unique enough that clients would have an incentive to tackle Bitcoin adoption hurdles. The product is largely made possible by the introduction of Bitcoin.

9. It would not even be necessary to charge a percentage. The ladies would be willing to accept fairly low exchange rates simply for convenience. If they on a moments notice they can put their phone on the end of the bad for 20 minutes, and make either 2BTC or go spend $20 instantly in Amazon- nearly all will choose the later. Shipping would go to the name and address on the photo ID- helping to ensure it's veracity.

10. Pull based. Instead of 20 women waiting around for an 8 hour shift for some guys to show up (and expecting to be compensated for such), they can receive phone notification when the surfer to performer ratio drops below a certain level. During these times which would be more lucrative to be on cam, and increase their average earnings per hour by allowing them to stay offline during off-peak times.

11. Smartphone users are a higher income demographic than computer users.

Benefits:

A single downloadable application can enable a woman to- on an impulse, start making money within minutes.

It allows men to engage in interactive adult chat without being tied to computer that their partner might walk in on.

You would not need a website, or any affiliate marketing.

No need to deal with talent management and associated headaches.

The ladies working from home, when they choose, without set hours would be considered "Independent"- this would have market appeal.

There are no larger players that could take your market share due the the way the app adoption works- you will have far more downloads, more installs, so will maintain a lead over any late comers. You will also be able to stay ahead of the development curve, leaving them to play catch up.

Comparatively low startup costs and monthly overhead. A single server, running Red or Wowza, a single- if somewhat complex app that can be reverse engineered from parts of other already existing apps. A single Android version would suffice to get ones foot in the door. iOS would obviously be an issue.

Minimal staff- the only labor is approving IDs, most of the rest a clever coder could automate.

There is not a single 2-way Adult webcam mobile chat app available at the moment. Easily publicity with a single press release.

If you can't do this project, then have a look at this one to get some ideas.

Or you can pull a Vegetta, piss on professional insight, ignore the market, try and beat the best of the best at a cut-throat business they've been doing for a decade, offering same product but with the additional hassle of a currency no one uses.

This thread turned out amusing as hell and will be a side note in the history of your site.  Strong supporter of ventures using Bitcoin, I think the ability to make a workable site is easy, but you have the potential for larger things if you get on it properly right off the bat, I only wish the best for this project

Shes really hot, that's why she acts the way she does. She's still mean as hell though, her crappy attitude erases any of the gains her looks bring her.

We now have a coder for the team ! So we have the positions of Administrator & Application Developer filled. I have decided to merge my position as project manager and webmaster together (since some people were questioning my technical abilities). We still are in need of a pro designer who can make us a beautiful skin for the cms that we will be using. Design will be crucial to the sites success, and the position is still available. Investors who want to buy shares on this site are also welcome to join in. I have already gotten several offers from people who want to fund this project, and take their %, I will be getting in touch with you all shortly, it may even be a full public venture depending on how my team decides to do it. We plan on being really transparent with the site, and showing the Bitcoin community that businesses can be built with this currency, despite what the nay Sayers may say.

LOL+++

Why do you think she is in the BDSM sector?? - it is her job to be arrogant and to torture other people!
She is a domina and you are moaning that she is arrogant, that is quiet funny :-)
I think there is just an misunderstanding between you and her ;-)
Dont take it personally, she just is professional even when she is not working... xD

Wait, you've got a Twitter account, AND a Cafepress site? Counting Facebook that's like THREE websites you "built"! Holy crap no wonder everyone is lining up to work with you.


Tell you what, how about you teach us all a lesson and keep this thread updated with the progress your vast IT empire is making. Since you have assured everyone you can do it all yourself, there should be no excuses if a cam site fails to materialize. When the site appears, you will have "shown us, shown is ALL!"

Future reference- if you want to do something, and a professional who does that thing for a living says "here's the specific reasons why A won't work, here are some specific problems you need to plan for in advance, if you want, here are some ways to increase your chance of success"- that's big ears/small mouth time. There several individuals reading this thread whom are professionals in their own fields- they know this. They see you don't, and that's why they dropped you.

I've got 12 nude models, a shooting facility, a dedicated offshore steaming server and a ton of adult traffic- you have a CafePress tshirt site and can "fix computers". Yet, you still are convinced I was applying to be on your team.

You Sir are Awesome

 

It's part of the BDSM mentality I guess lol. Maybe shes a tea-bagger  .

It's almost like she has some kind of fetish for pain or something. 

Jesse I would love to use your contacts, but your way of approaching this entire thing has been appalling. Instead of messaging me and telling me what you had to offer, you instead wrote a monologue about how this business is going to fail. Are you just mad you didn't come up with the domain name or idea first? Are you mad that you have no technical abilities to offer to the team other than your management experience and a few contacts? Why do you hate bitcoins? Don't you understand that if we can't get a good industry going, this currency will be nothing more than a never ended ponzi scheme?
If this site is what I envision it to be I know it can be huge. However, people like you are writing it off before it even gets started, instead of specifying what they have to offer. There is no doubt in my mind that you have skills that we can use on our team, but once again you have been very offensive for absolutely no reason.
You leave a bad taste in my mouth..

Well then that's the oddest thing I ever heard before. Learn something new everyday I guess.

LOL, BDSM is Bondage & Sado Maso =BDSM
just use goolge.

Well "not a whore" is usually what Adult workers say (scream) to imply they are better than other Adult workers. So a "whore" in the sense I am in the Adult industry, but not in the sense of taking money for sex. I take pride in having sex for free. Whore is none the less a popular description for me in the forum. It's not very PC, but since it does not really carry the same weight with me as with other women, I let it pass. It's a bit like calling a gay person a "homo".

I own my place so don't session much anymore, but when I do the essence of it is some guys will pay far more to be tortured than they will for sex. My place is one of the top four dungeons in the US by most reckoning. I started it after working in the Adult industry as management- not talent, for many years (content production, cams and static sites). I still maintain my industry contacts, so have a pretty good idea where the gaps in the market are.
