LiveCamNetwork started out as a home office project, and soon found itself lucrative enough to move into separate offices. “I came on there was one studio. Then a month later we went on to two forrepparttar last two years. We just addedrepparttar 118693 third one this spring, so we can hire even more chat hostesses now.”

Jen, also a photographer, is aiming to set up 12 studios to fill outrepparttar 118694 site’s unique combination of gabby chat hostesses, smooth well-lit video, and clear audio streaming. “Oh yeah, definitely. I really want them to hearrepparttar 118695 giggles,repparttar 118696 moans, you know…”

"We used to have some photo gallery content, but I’ve since taken it down because, first off, it got tired. Too many other sites had that stuff, and it wasn’t what we’re about. You want live, not static, when you come to LiveCamNetwork,” said Jen.

LiveCamNetwork.com is expanding this year and promising to offer more of what its customers want – which is, as she says, “No BS live cam chatting withrepparttar 118697 best chat hostesses onrepparttar 118698 web. No hiding faces, no silent rooms or sickly sound. At least, not from my studios. A sexy chat worthy of that word.”
