Become A Webcam Model
Getting started as a live cam model is fairly easy. Best of all anyone can do it and the process is fairly simple. Once you have gone over all the requirements and resources on this page you can start making money on all the big famous camming sites as soon as tomorrow. That’s right, tomorrow. As a webcam model you can set your own hours, work from home, and not have a boss to report too!
What You’ll Need:
A couple things first. Live camming in this manner is part of the adult industry, so the main requirement is to be 18 years of age or older. There is no getting around this. Models are fully expected to perform nude and perform other acts. As a web model you can set limits on what you do or don’t. But the less restriction the more you can earn. Its your show. With that out of the way lets go over the equipment you will need.
1. A Computer
A computer is required. Some networks may allow you to broadcast live from a mobile device but this not recommended if you want to make money. A computer with a webcam is by far the best option for positioning, which we will get to later.
2. A Webcam
You are going to be live camming so a webcam is required. Any modern webcam will do for this purpose but a high definition (HD) webcam is highly recommended. You will produce better quality video and more importantly you will earn much more money.
3. An Internet Connection
A good and stable internet connection is a must. Your connection at minimal should be able to broadcast live video over the internet without interruption or hangups. No one likes watching a live clip that lags or cuts off every 30 seconds, your audience won’t like it either.
4. A Digital Copy Of Your Photo ID
You will be asked to submit a digital copy of your ID on every network you perform. This is part of the age verification and a legal requirement. If you don’t have a digital copy you can create one by taking a picture of your ID and sending that.
Next Steps: Choose A Stage Name
Once you have all the required equipment the next step is to come up with your stage name. This is the performer name, or the adult persona, that you will identify as in the adult online community. This is important because having a set name helps visitors / audiences find you and identify you. Choose a name that you like but also one that people will remember Read More: Choosing A Stage Name
Choose A Site To Perform
That’s it. Once you have chosen a stage name and have all the required equipment listed above the next step is to choose a camsite. View Them Here. Once you have signed up and been validated fill out your profile and “about me” sections. Include as much info as you like so that your audience can get to know you. This is also where you will upload a profile picture. Choose a picture that will attract your audience, cute or sexy, whatever your style. You want visitors to click on your profile when browsing the list of models.
Setup A Camming Area
The camming are is the place where you will stream your live videos. Having a spare room that you can setup exclusively for your shows is recommended. Some models stream directly from their bedrooms and that is acceptable too. Aside from decor it is important to make sure lighting won’t be an issue. Read More: Setting Up The Camming Room
How Much Do Webcam Models Make?
There is no set answer. That is because webcam models earn by tips. There is no salary or minimum wage. So there is no limit or cap to how much a performer can make. The sky is really the limit here. Performers who work more and promote themselves earn more than those who only turn on a webcam once a week. Top camgirls on some networks average about $10,000 per week if not more. While the minimal performer makes anywhere between $500 to $3,000 a week. You get what you put in and models who work more earn more.
