Dev Depot: CSS Modal — Evolution of the Console
Whether it is a matter of displaying an alert notifying website visitors that there is age-inappropriate content not suitable for minors ahead, or that they can receive a bonus offer, free cam credits, or an attractive cross sale promotion, the launching of additional browser windows, often streamlined with stripped-down “chrome” or other features and known as a console, is a common site maintenance and marketing practice; which while effective, is frowned upon by many Internet users who typically find these tools intrusive.
Balanced Portfolio
According to Internet investment guide Web-Invest.com, anyone who takes money and invests it must create a well balanced investment portfolio in order to minimize the risks while maximizing the potential gains.
Big-time Branding
When it comes to taking your company to the next level, branding is an essential element of the equation needed to gain mindshare among the firm’s audience, customers and prospects. The process would be an easy one if it happened in isolation — but your competitors are targeting the same consumers and seeking that same mindshare, forcing decision makers to think bigger (and to take more chances) in order to be seen.

Live Cam Genres Thrive on Variety
Live webcams were once a marginal part of online adult entertainment, which made it much easier for newcomers to get a foot in the door. But those days are long gone. With the adult webcam field having grown by leaps and bounds, it has become much more competitive as well as increasingly diverse. Adult webcam genres are plentiful, and some cam models are making their mark by catering to very specific interests. From gay and lesbian to BDSM to MILFs and cougars, the cam field is proving to be every bit as diverse as adult membership sites. Ethnic cam niches are popular (some customers are specifically interested in Asian, black or Latina models), and transsexual/shemale sites are a popular cam genre.

Technology, Social Networking, and Blogging Drive the Cam Field
The adult entertainment industry has a long history of being on the cutting edge of technology, and in the past, successful adult companies were quick to embrace emerging technologies (whether it was VHS tapes, DVDs or digital downloads) and use them to their marketing and promotional advantage. That hasn’t changed: technology still rules the adult industry, and one technology that has proven to be a substantial moneymaker for many adult companies is the live webcam. However, cam modeling is hardly a get-rich-quick scheme. It requires not only a strong work ethic and dedication, but also, a knowledge of current trends. And in the summer of 2013, ever-improving webcam technology and aggressive use of social media are among the important cam modeling trends to watch out for.

New Things for White Label Live Cams
As the adult industry online continues to move forward in pursuit of greater profitability during the era of free porn online, one area that many webmasters have noted as being particularly successful is the live show webcam market. The continued improvement of the technical aspects of live streaming content coupled with the insatiable appetite of fans for their favorite online models in live intimate cam shows is being fueled even more by the wide range of the white label live cam offers available for site owners looking to co-brand or rebrand cam content as part of their own monetization methods. That leads us to this examination of recent trends that are already shaping the present and will become even more significant in the future of the white label cams business.
