Question
Dan,

My girlfriend and I recently seen a webcast of a couple charging money to allow people to view them.  That show peeked our interest.  How would we go about trying that as supplemental income.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.  thank you in advance.

Answer
Ed,

It sounds like you're describing an adult webcam service.  There are numerous adult webcam sites out there, many of which have couples.  Also, sites like clips4sale.com can allow you and your girlfriend to record film clips and sell them.  Whatever you do, you'll need to ensure you and your girlfriend comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including the federal record keeping and labeling laws (found at 18 USC 2257).
