setup
First you'll need a software solution.
You can buy one or have one written for you. To do something like Ifriends you'll need a custom program written for you. Expect to pay $25,000 minimum for something decent. We would charge around $35,000 to write a turn-key Ifriends type site for you.
You'll need a dedicated server. Video requires a high end server fast prcessor lots of RAM and uses lots of bandwidth so you'll need to negotiate a deal for a 10 megabit pipe or you'll go broke on bandwidth fees. each feed on our system uses 1.3 Gb a day per viewer.
You'll need a domain and a decent web designer.
You'll need a card processor. You will have a very hard tiime finding a 3rd party CC company that will work with a webcam site and if you plan to do per minute it will be almost impossible to find a company that will work with you. Ibill and worldpay are the only ones I know of that will let you do a custom per minute webcam site.
Ok so lets say the site is built and working, now comes the biggest hurdle of all. No perfmormers no traffic. No traffic means the performers won't make any money so they'll quickly quit.
So you need to get performers and traffic on at the same time.
Finally yes a lawyer and accountant are a must as well. Expect to spend $5000-$10,000 on the lawyer before you go live.
Hope that helps.
