Question

How many hours a day should I webcam?

Community Answer

You can webcam however many hours you want. Try keeping your sessions between 2 and 4 hours. The longer you webcam, the more people will see and join your room. However, if you webcam too long, people may get bored and leave.

Question

What is a reliable site to sign up on? I don't want to work for free then get scammed.

Community Answer

I have worked for a few sites that are quite reliable but if you want to make the most money and have some training go with streammate. It's an amazing company and the owners care about how much you make and the audience you are catering to.

Question

Can a man do this too? Do you have to get naked?

Community Answer

Yes, of course, but it can be harder for men to build up a customer base. The best part is that you are in control of what goes on in your broadcast. You don't have to get naked, but it does help to earn you cash.

Question

Can I use my credit card, or does it have to be PayPal?

Community Answer

As a customer or cam model, you should NEVER send or receive PayPal payments for adult-related content. it is against their ToS and they will blacklist you from PayPal forever if you're caught. Always use a site's payment method (tokens, gold, tributes, etc). You should pay for the site currency using a credit card.

Question

Is there a good website to start?

Community Answer

Chaturbate is an easy website to start on. You can add fun little widgets like games and tip jars, and it's easy to get into private shows or chat rooms.

Question

How much money can I make as a (fat) girl in one month? Are there guys that likes fat girls?

Erika Renee

Community Answer

Absolutely! Cam models come in all shapes and sizes. Now, the amount of money depends on YOU and how much work you put into it. The more hours you work, the more money you make. I know some models that have made $5,000 in a day, including tips.

Question

Can multiple people work under one Chaturbate account?

Community Answer

Yes! As long as everyone has signed up (for proof that you're 18+), then you can technically have as many people camming together as you'd like. Same goes for MyFreeCams: you need to state the models' names that you're working with, and they need to already be a model.

Question

Can this type of work be done without showing my face?

Community Answer

Yes, you can hide it with a mask. But most of the time, people want to see a face.

Question

What's the value of one token?

Community Answer

It varies for every token. It also depends if you are the customer or performer. On Kinklive, you pay $0.10 per token; as a model, you lose 30 percent of what you make to the company.

Question

I want to flirt and chat only, nothing more. Which site is good for that?

Camila Chavez

Community Answer

Actually not a single webcam site can force you to do something you do not like (go naked and stuff like that). You may choose any site to try. I would recommend to start with BongaCams or Chaturbate. Easy to register and work. BongaCams has a nice support.

Question

How much money do young female models average in a week?

Community Answer

There are women who make 1,000s of dollars and those who don't even make 50 dollars a week. It depends on many factors, how much you work, how long you've been doing it, how many things you're willing to do, how likable you are, how attractive you are, what kind of body type you have, etc. There's nothing average in the adult industry. You can cam once a month or four times a day, it's all up to you.

Question

Have you identified peak hours that you find a better flow of traffic on sites?

JLuckenbill

Community Answer

It can depend on the site! However, think about when people are off work, such as in the evening, at night, or on the weekends. Traffic is likely to be higher then.

Question

Can I do it with an iPhone or do I need a laptop?

Community Answer

It is possible to use the app, if your website of choice has one, but it is much easier to set a laptop on a table and perform hands free.

Question

Do all webcam models have to do lewd activities? Is it mandatory?

JLuckenbill

Community Answer

No, it's not mandatory. Personality is as important as sexual acts. However, you do tend to make more money when you include sexual acts.

Question

Do I need a bank account?

Community Answer

A bank account is more secure and trustworthy than stashing your notes in a pillowcase. If they pay you in cash, bank it and reap the interest. You can use Paypal or similar if preferred. Only accept digital currency if it pays the rent.

Question

Can I cam with my phone?

Paolo Lugarà

Community Answer

Yes, you can cam with a mobile phone or tablet. Smartphone CPUs are still far from desktop CPU performance, and a desktop’s overall performance allows the model to offer a better overall experience for the paying member. However, mobile streaming lets you be unique and different in a new way. When everyone else is sitting in the bedroom, your show can be on the road, in a car, at the mall or a restaurant.

Question

Is it legal to work at home, not in a studio in European countries? Which countries let you have this job while paying taxes?

Nim Staff

Community Answer

Yes, you can do this from home anywhere in the EU. You will get tax documents showing what you earned at the end of the year, so you will have to pay taxes.
