Paul, Western webcam models got forums and they talk there in good English. One is under Stripperweb, another is under Ambercutie. I suggest you go there and read (and I hope not post!). They got big threads one per cam site, the more popular the cam site, the more the posts in the thread. Most of the posts are complaints, some are questions, some are advices. Regrding cam business, I learn from reading there some 100 times more than reading in GFY, obviously, as that's cam themed forums where actual models discuss.
In the past 10 years or so, there was countless models, affiliates, or models+affiliates, or models + their boyfriend, or single studios with many models, or group of cam site members, who have "create their own sites, traffic, and customers", and invariably, all of these failed to keep up. They ended with zero model online 24/7 and then put offline.
The idea of these people it was to keep out the bad inefficient pimps that are the cam site owners. Some was even a socialist cam cooperative site not for profit project by certain "bambalina" activist, who was so vocal she finally flamed with many and was banned.
Reality of facts: the only cam sites that reach and keep at least a medium size and 5+ years duration it is those founded by "professional" ACME/SPECTRE corporations with previous affiliate programs and/or multi million $ investments.
Reason: a cam site needs at least a dozen models online 24/7 which means one or more hundreds of active models per 30 days. Why? Because if your site only got 1 or 2 models and often no one online, the guys finally quit. It is the same issue of a shop with just Red Apples, and not the other fruits. And single cam girls or small amount of affiliates can't make it happen something big enough to reach the critical mass to stay up.
I've successfully setup different cam sites for different 3rd parties, none of these sites failed (either kept online forever, or was sold or spun off etc.). It just that I start a cam site only if I see this is viable. In all these cases I had availability of enough cash (in some cases even too much), traffic (in case of met-art, it was like pornhub today, for the times), and other ingredients (certain models and studios know I pay always, so whatever site I touch, they join immediately). In the case someone will offer me to start a cam site, but he misses some ingredient, I would not accept because I know I would fail, whatever I do have experience and I succeeded before.
In short, cam sites are a well defined, and not new, but instead known, science. You need to both have all the ingredients, and know how to use them in a recipe for success. Actually, most people start cam sites without some ingredient, but they don't even know they miss such an ingredient. In the case of Paul Markham, he would just put Red Apples, and lacking the pears etc.
