FireCracker Video

Firecracker video is a package you can buy to set up your own webcam site. It's perfectly ok software in itself, but because it is so easy a lot of people seem to end up using it to create webcam sites when they have no idea how to run the rest of their business.

So this ends up with lots of firecracker video based sites with no girls, no customers and no hope. People intending to start their own webcam site really need to put some thought into the whole business plan -- getting chathosts, getting customers, being able to pay people and so on.

It's more than just the software!
