Of course what the end costumer gets charged, and what the performer end up getting per minute can vary widely. You have the money processing, (visa, mastercard, etc.) taking cut off the top. Then you have imlive (or whichever sex chat portal you are using, the fees are pretty much the same for everybody) taking a cut for making the software and promoting the limlive portal. The portal pays webmasters a percentage of the money that your shows earn. So sexchatsexchat.com get’s a cut if it sends the customer to imlive.com, and you sell a show to that customer.

Most sex chat performers work with an agency, or host admin, who acts as a tech guy (or girl) and assists the performers is running the tech side of things, and maintain communication between a sex chat portal like imlive.

Anyways, there are more things that cut into the money. You have server and bandwidth issues, your cost of a braodband internet connection, webcams, etc. If you can end making more than $1 a minute after all is said and done that is good sometimes, if you set up a discount and charge a customer $1.49 in the end you are going to be earning less than $1 per minute.

This is one reason that I am considering licensing the software for a group of girls to be on an independant sex chat netwrok that can bill direct. Of course going direct you have to find other ways to advertise, but I have a good amount of contacts in the adult biz, so we could get our own affiliate program much like imlive, flirtforfree, or any of the other big names. The software license is $12,000. If a group of girls or guys would like to pitch and split the fee, for 10 people it would be $1,200 each. Let me know if you are interested in doing the independant software thing.
