With the introduction of the 16:9 aspect ratio you can use the best camcorders on the market to provide crystal clear image quality which is superior to the webcams' quality. If you use a camcorder, it should have a digital port (HDMI, FireWire) for better image quality.)

HINTS AND TIPS
Turn off all other applications which use your Internet connection (such as messengers, YouTube, torrents, etc.). If you need to use a camera splitter we recommend SplitCam as a camera splitter software which you may download here: http://splitcamera.com. We recommend wired, as opposed to wireless Internet connections, to avoid any data loss and delays. If your download speed is less than 2Mb/sec and/or upload speed is less than 1024 Kb/sec, then please call your Internet service provider for more information. Most likely you’ll have to upgrade your Internet connection.
Some basic Suggestions
- Showing no interest to the site and ignoring visitors is not recommended. If you are not well or you are not in the mood to be online then rather go offline and only come back if you feel all right. If guests often see that you ignore them then they will not return. Please mind and remember that the visitors come to the site for fun and to see smiling and happy models.
- If you are a chat host it is really important to look at the camera while you chat with guests. Eye contact with users is essential, visitors like to feel you look at them, staring at your screen is not recommended so please try to place your cam above or really close to your screen and always try to look straight at the camera when you type to viewers.
Setting up your cam properly is also really important. The cam resolution the model chose in the example above is wrong, if you have difficulties with setting up your cam right then rather ask a friend or a professional person for help.
- Leaving your camera picture empty is really not recommended. Even if you need to leave the camera for some seconds you have to go offline until you are away from cam. Users opening your chat room and seeing nobody in the camera will leave your room immediately and also may not come to your any more!
- Chat hosts who do not show their face to visitors usually get less attention from visitors. It is important to always look at the camera, eye contact with members is a key element of being a successful chat host!
- Be sure to have proper lighting because the more light you use the better your camera picture will be. Also note that the higher you put the light, the more shadows will fall on your face (see the illustration picture above), which is not recommended. Natural light (windows) has a bad effect on your camera picture quality so we advise you to use indoor lighting always.
CHATTING WITH VIEWERS - HOW IT WORKS
First of all you have to understand that you as an online webcam model always need to be nice with visitors. First you are in free chat, it means that users can watch your free camera picture until one or more users take you to private show (payed chat). All types of people may join your room, but most of them are really nice and friendly and would like to know you better. If you see any users typing unkind things to you then do not take it upon yourself, you have to learn to ignore such users and concentrate only on those who are interested in you. Basically the users will ask questions from you like your name, location (country), likes, dislikes, etc, it is all up to you what information you share with them. You have to persuade users to enter your private show to know you better or see more of you. It is important to note that if you do not really communicate with visitors in free chat and you always tell them to come to your private session then users may feel you are only online for money. Chat with them in a sloppy way, be creative, feel free to ask them questions you too, you will see that one from them will take you to private session!
YPES OF VISITORS
There are several types of visitors who will join your room, you should treat each viewer like kings, any of them can be your potential private show partner!
Guests
They are not registered members yet but they are potential customers. All paying members used to be guests first so guests really require high attention from webcam models. As a chat host you should encourage guests to register on the site and to visit your private show. If you can make a guest register as a member then he surely will visit you often as it was you who brought the pleasure of private shows to his attention. If you keep continuous contact with the member (who registered because of your effort) then you have a high chance that the user will be loyal to you and he will not check other webcam models but will enjoy only your company.
Registered (active) members
They are viewers who bought credits at least once. They can be loyal members but it is also possible that the member registered lately so he might have been a quest a day ago for example.
VIP members
The highest level of membership, VIP members are usually loyal members on the site who deserve really special care. Most of them spend serious amounts on the site.
VISITOR ATTITUDES
There are several types of people with different intentions who you may meet while chatting with visitors. We can basically say that there are two main types of people who visit adult webcam chat sites: the lonely ones and the horny ones.
The lonely ones
Lonely people look for online webcam models to have some talk or flirt with. Some of them are shy to meet a girl in real, some of them are married and they guess that if they talk / flirt with an online webcam model then they do not cheat on their wife. We can generally say that these type of people are not mostly here for seeing a nude live model show. They just need special attention, they feel lonely or bored and they want someone to share their good or bad things with and to listen to someone' s opinion about everyday things. The lonely type of people stay much longer in private show (payed chat) than those who come to see only a naked model show. It frequently happens that the webcam model even does not need to get naked at all during the private show. Members with such attitude usually return to chat hosts regularly, they mostly consider a webcam model as their friend and soul mate. They are usually curious about the chat hosts' real personality, the lonely type of people would like to know what is behind the curtain: your plans for the future, your favourite musics, films, etc. They usually return and support their favourite webcam models with voting, helping them to win on special webcam model contests. Always try to make each customer feel special, keep continuous contact with them, sending messages, pictures etc will lead to a long-time friendship and will make you a successful webcam model!
The horny ones
These type of people visit adult live webcam chat sites mostly for fun and to see girls getting naked and giving a nude show for them. It also means that they do not talk much with chat hosts and horny visitors mostly stay less in private show than the lonely ones. Of course there are exceptions so a horny guy also can stay really much in your payed chat. Please consider that you need to handle such visitors in the same way as you do with the lonely type of viewers! It often happens that horny guys first ask for a naked show but later they do not leave the private show and would like to know the webcam model better. We know about a lot of examples when the visitor joint the chat host's private show first only to see a nude show but later the user returned and wanted to know more about the model as a person. The key is in your hand, if you can make users feel you are different from other webcam girls and you have a great personality then the horny type of men will also be interested in you and will visit you again and again! If you can achieve this then you are on the right way for becoming a successful webcam model and you will make serious money from working as a chat host!
TALKING WITH VIEWERS
The free chat is the place where you can encourage guys to take you to private show. If you do not chat but you always ask them to join your private show then they will feel you only want their money. Viwers come to adult live sex chat sites to interact with webcam models, if it wouldn't be so then they would watch a simple porn movie. Try to respond to the most of the visitors in your room, you can ask questions from them too. When you chat with them call them on their name (viewer ID) like this: Hello charlie123, how are you today? Some viewers do not believe they really watch a live cam girl so prove them sometimes that you are really live and real, wave your hands to them, send them kisses and do not forget to look into the camera to keep eye contact with the visitors! Remember using the right words when you chat with viewers, words like MONEY, BUY etc can make visitors think you do webcam job only for money. Also try to avoid using negative meaning words like ASSHOLE, IDIOT, BASTARD, WASTE, etc, viewers come to live webcam sites for fun, even if some users may make you frustrated you should always be nice and you should not let negative viewers make your mood go down!
TIPS & TRICKS - HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL WEBCAM MODEL
Let us share our experiences on how you can earn a lot of money as a webcam model. These proven methods are worth considering, our top earning webcam models earning 3000 USD / two weeks are using the same methods to be successful. Remember that our site is not all about sex or nudity. You can be very sexy and never even remove your clothes while you earn money with us!
Always be kind and friendly with users, even in freechat. Try to interact as much as possible, as a webcam model you need to smile, have fun, enjoy the work - viewers are not here to see sad and bored girls. Don't make users wait once they are in private, treat them like kings and they will return to you. Try to create a group of regular viewers and keep in touch with them by using our email system. Send them jokes, funny movies, or pictures of yourself and don't ask them all the time to go private, they surely will if they think so. If visitors have any special wishes and even want more from you then you first planned, just adapt your price, and choose one that you think is more convenient for you.
- Make your room attractive
Use decoration to make your live cam picture visually more enjoyable. Curtains, pictures on the wall, mascots etc make your room more attractive and you will have more visitors.
- Lighting
Avoid natural lighting so do not create your workplace close to the window. Natural light will make your cam picture quality bad. Use lamps, neon light to light your room, also mind that light is really important, dark rooms where the models cannot be seen well will not be enjoyable for visitors and you will not be interesting for them.
- Proper equipment
Be sure to use proper equipment(webcam or camcorder, microphone, high-speed internet access). Broadcast a high quality live stream with crisp and clear picture. Older webcams might be out of date, use a newer one or buy a digital cam instead! Users do look for quality, blurry images and dark rooms will not attract them.
- Be online, be accessible
As a webcam model you should be online at least 5-6 hours a day and at least 5 days a week to earn serious amount of money. Chat hosts working regular hours usually have more returning members and more private shows. If you work by a schedule, users will know the exact time to catch you online. TIP: Members who marked you as favorite will get an e-mail notification when you go online.
- Mind what you do while you are online
Remember that when you are online you are broadcasting your live camera picture on the internet, several users will be watching your moves so please try to avoid doing things that members may find uninteresting or boring. If they see you are biting your nails, eating, drinking, telephoning then they will leave your room and look for other webcam models.
- Be different and unique
It is worth learning from others, have a look at the successful chat hosts what make them successful. Although we rather recommend you to become different from the others, be unique, be a model like nobody else. Members are looking for models who do not fall into a routine, who are special and give something plus than the others. Be creative, let the members know about all your talents and values, make plans always what you will do tomorrow when you come online again. Variety is important when you are online, changing of your appearance will attract members' attention better and they surely will be interested to see you again from time to time. Some members like girls in tight jeans for example while some of them prefer women with stockings, lingerie, … Take usually new pictures of yourself with different make-up, dress, hair style and background and upload them to your gallery, variety will make you a special and unique webcam model!
- Never say 'NO' to members
Even if there are things you would not do in private chat do not reply with 'no' to members. It may sound a bit weird but it works, there are tons of tips / methods how you can express 'maybe' (even if you would say NO) and if the user likes you then you will see he will take you to payed chat. Answers like ' I can try it for you' will make feel members they are special as you would try to do it for them and they will not get angry if finally you don' t do their request perfectly. If you find a right way to say YES then members will be satisfied and will appreciate that you tried it for them.
- Make content
Be sure to have a well-detailed model bio page, add as much information about yourself as you can (likes, dislikes, hobbies, schedule, features and so on), make more photos for your albums and create profile videos. These information are also available for members if you are offline.
- Keep in touch
Keep continuous contact with members, it is worth sending them messages every day even if you are not online, they surely will feel your care and they will be grateful. Members prefer those chat hosts who are different from the others and like to to know the real personality of the webcam models. Successful chat hosts usually send the members images from their private life, links of their favourite musics, own poems and so on. These offline activities do not make much effort for you but the perfect way of long-term relationships! Remember that loyal and returning members will mean most of your income!
- Be always visible in the cam
If you are a webcam model you never should leave the camera empty. If you have to go to the toilet or want to take a break then rather go offline from the site, your guests have chosen to click on you, if they open your chatroom and they see an empty room then they will not come back, you’ve lost them! Prepare some drink close to your bed, if you are thirsty then you can easily have some water, do your best to look always fresh, if users feel you are not in a good mood then they will look for an other chat host!
- Take notes
As an online chat host you will talk with a lot of viewers. As it is impossible to memorize all of the details you knew about them we advise you to take notes about each member you talk to. Keep track of the most important details about members (name, age, location, birthday, email address, etc.). If they come by your chatroom the next time, just look for the membername and all information you noted about him will be in front of you. They will appreciate if you remember them as they will feel they are special for you and you do not consider them like the average viewers!
- Respond to members
It is the chat host 's task to keep continuous conversations in her room. If the webcam model does not reply to visitors' questions then they will leave the room and look for a talkative model. Silent chat hosts will not have private shows so mind to always respond to members and guests, do not let your chatroom die!
- Smile!
Smiling is the best way to attract member's attention, flirt with your eyes, always always at the camera! Watching your monitor while you chat with someone makes you look like you don’t care with the member. Bored, annoyed webcam girls may ruin their whole adult webcam model career, users will remember that you are often in a bad mood and they will not visit your room in the future!
- Look at the camera
Put your cam/webcam close to the screen. When you type or pay attention to a visitor then try to look in the camera too, viewers like to feel that you are looking at them, they want to feel special. Just like the real world, when you get eye contact you feel a connection with the person. It is a common mistake among webcam models that they continuously scare at their screen and do not look into the camera at all, remember that when you look at the cam you look into a lot of members' eyes in the same time!
- Chat with guests
A lot of chat hosts consider guests as beggars who just want to see some free show while they do not have money at all. Please forget it! All our members started out as a guests, chances are that some of them will become your fan and returning customer. If a webcam model converts a guest into a paying member then the model can rely on the member's appreciation, if you as a chat host show him first the pleasures of private shows then he surely will return to you in the future!
- Sometime less is more
Try to avoid working on a massive number of websites at the same time! Your internet connection and computer power will probably not handle that much anyway. You will soon find out that paying attention to 1 or 2 sites means more money and less stress for you. It is our common to have more returning and satisfied members but for this we need your cooperation too. Please consider our advice above and we guarantee you will be successful in this business!
MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Our new models often have questions about the process of becoming a well paid and successful online webcam model. We collected these questions and made the answers to them. Please read through the FAQ made for chat hosts as the most frequently asked questions are answered below.
1) What does webcam modeling mean?
Webcam modeling is among the most popular jobs in the world, many girls and couples do it as a full-time job or part-time, a really great opportunity to earn big money easily from your home. All you need to do is to be open-minded, wear some sexy clothes and just chat with the people who will be watching you. You will experience that there are not too many jobs paying you as much as webcam job, ideal investment for your studies, own flat, car or for traveling to desired holiday destinations. Working as a chat host is not illegal, it is not something against the law so you have no reason to be worried about it. Remember that you do not need to meet any viewers personally, you are totally safe in your home, nobody will know where you live and what job you do.
2) How does adult webcam model job work?
If you went through the model signup procedure then you are ready to go online and earn incredible money as a chat host. When you go online you are in free chat first, you chat with guests and you encourage them to take you to private show (payed chat). It is important to mind that visitors should not feel you are online for earning money, you need to show them that you are here for fun and entertaining them. When a visitor takes you to private show then he is alone with you, the others guests cannot see you any more in free chat and this also means you start earning money. It mostly depends on your talent how long the paying member stays in your chatroom, if you are interesting for him he will stay really long with you so be creative and find the way how users can stay longer in your payed chat room. As a webcam model you need to put emphasize on making long-term relationship with members, regular customers visiting you day by day will result in becoming a successful webcam model. You as a chat host need to be open-minded and cheerful, visitors come to chat with webcam models for entertainment.
3) I have never done this job before, can I do it without any experiences?
Yes, of course! Webcam modeling is not a complicated job at all, you do not need any trading or practice before you start to work as a chat host. If you chat sometimes with friends on live messenger for example then chatting with members as a webcam model is not much different from that. Just be open-minded, nice, creative and cheerful, show them your sensual side! Viewers visit adult chat sites not just for fun but to find a good friend or somebody to share their good or bad things with. It even happens that paying members talk about everyday things (family, music, weather, etc) with chat hosts so you surely will find a way to share your point of view, ideas with the visitors. It mostly depends on the webcam model what the conversation is about but if the member has requests then you cannot ignore him, visitors should not feel you would like to waste their time.
4) Who will visit my chat room?
Visitors are from all over the world, but we can generally say that most of the viewers come from USA, Canada, Australia and Western-Europe. Visitors from these countries spend serious amounts of money on live chat and they like to chat with webcam models. The visitors are usually adults so they are above 18 years old.
5) I am afraid of performing live on the internet, I do not want any of my relatives / friends to find me as a webcam model
NeedLive.com allows chat hosts to ban countries from their room. It means that visitors from the countries models ban will not be able to open the chatroom, so you do not need to be afraid of your neighbours or relatives finding you on the internet as a webcam model.
6) I am afraid of giving you my personal details (name, ID document) for Model signup
We need your personal details to be sure you are over 18 as webcam job is only allowed for adults. Neither your full legal name nor your age or location will be displayed on the site. You will work with a fantasy name (performer name) you choose and visitors only will see as much information about you as you wish to share!
7) Are there any conditions of becoming a webcam model?
It is important to note that you must be over 18 to work as webcam model, you need to prove it with an identity document too when you register at us as a chat host. You also will need to buy the necessary technical background: a strong PC or laptop with at least a webcam and you also has to buy a fast and stable internet connection.
8) What do I need to do to become a chat host on your site?
The model or studio signup process is really easy on SoulCams.com, all you need to have is a scanner and a government issued photo ID of yours (identity card or driver's license or passport). Once you finished the registration process our staff will check it in 48 hours and inform you by email if you added all the requested information you added are right or not. If your webcam model registration is approved then it means you can start going online as a chat host and earning serious amount of money.

Click here to start registering as a Model
9) Do I have to pay any signup fee for you?
No, absolutely not! Model registration is totally free.
10) Can I register as a chat host if do not have a scanner?
Scanner is not so important as if you have a good digital camera you can make a picture of your photo ID. The requested documents (scanned ID and a picture on which you hold this ID in your hand next to your face) have to be uploaded in jpeg form so as if they were a picture and if you can make a good quality and readable picture of the requested documents then it will be all right and we will approve them as well.
11) Can I do this job if my age is not ideal for webcam modeling or I am not supposed to be as beautiful as a dream girl?
Basically chat hosts' age or appearance is not so important. Remember that there are millions of men with different likes, some of them love plump girls, some likes mature women (woman around 40 – 50) while of course some prefer slim girls around 20, so forget the thought that members may not like you.

13) How much can I earn with webcam job?
Our top-earning webcam models earn around 4000 $ per 2 weeks. It is important to note that most of our top-earning chat hosts are not in nude category but in Flirt / Friendship so they even do not get naked in paid chat for this unique amount of money. We generally can say that webcam models in Friendship category earn more, they have long-term relationships with members and they all follow the methods we listed in TIPS AND TRICKS menu.

Yes of course! We established a perfectly detailed chat host statistics, you can check your earnings of each day you worked on! You even can have a look at the members' name visited you in payed chat including the duration of the private show and your share (%) of each of them.
15) In what language can I talk with visitors?
About 70-80 % of our visitors come from English-speaking countries (USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, ...) so the commonly used language during the chat is English. Of course we have users from other language areas too like France, Germany, Italy, etc but remember that English is spoken all over the world so even those people speak English in a way. When webcam models type something in the common free chat then all visitors in the room have to understand what the model type. Just imagine the situation when you are in free chat and you reply in Russian language for example to a user, the other guests will not understand your sentences at all and will leave your room. If the user joins the chat host' s private show where the model and the member are alone then of course it is allowed to use a non-English language if both of you speak that langauge well or better than English. Actually if you would like to work as an adult webcam model then you should be able write in English at least in minimum level. Do not worry if your English is not so good, working as an online chat host is a really good way to practise and improve your English knowledge! You will learn new words day by day and your knowledge will be satisfying in a short time. Additionally you may use online translator websites (for example Google Translator) which help you to search for unknown words or expressions easily, a really perfect way of English learning. In the adult webcam job industry there are some specific words, phrases and expressions that are different from average English vocabulary but they will be really easy to remember so do not be afraid of them!
16) Do I always have to get naked when I am online?
No! Although we are an adult site webcam modeling it is not all about nudity. The most important basic fact is that you do not need to be nude or get naked at all in free chat, you only need to give a nude show for those members who joined your private session and asked for it. We have several categories and the Friendship category is for those webcam models who do not wish to get naked or give a nude performer show in paid session. We need to share the fact with you that most of our top-earning webcam models are in Friendship category, so they earn thousands of dollars per two weeks without getting naked at all! They found the way how to set up a constant group of returning visitors, these successful webcam models have long-term relationship with their clients who are not basically interested in watching nude shows but to have their soul mates. If you are in GIRLS (nude) category then it also does not mean you always need to be nude if you have a private show (paid show), you may have a viewer in private show who does not require to see a nude performance but only to talk about sexual fantasies for example. It is important to note that if you are in nude category and a paying member asks you to give him a nude performer show then you have to do it. Paying viewers usually tell you what to show them but do not think that you have to do anything they ask. It is all about your decision what type of nude shows you wish to perform and what you intend to show them from your body. For example if a webcam model would not like to use sexual toys then she does not have to, this is what the free chat is for, the webcam model and the potential paying members can talk over the details of the private show.
17) I actually work for an other site, can I work for your site too in the same time?
Yes, it is allowed. Although we advise chat hosts to avoid working on a massive number of websites at the same time! Your internet connection and computer power will probably not handle that much anyway. You will soon find out that paying attention to 1 or 2 sites means more money and less stress for you.

18) What percentage (%) do I get from private shows?
We give you the freedom to choose your desired per-minute price for payed chat. Chathosts usually set the price to 1,99 or 2,49 $ / minute. If you just start to work as a webcam model then it is recommended to work first with low price (1.99 $ / minute), if you are over your first some months and you have at least some returning members then you may increase your per-minute price. You mac change the price any time, if you see the traffic is low in your room then you had better use low prices, if traffic is good and you have a lot of private shows you may try to set the price higher. If you set your price to 1,99 $ / minute then a member will pay 1,99 $ for every minutes he spends in your private show. You can get up to the 60 % of the members' spending, our site have always made it a priority to give a beneficial and unique % to the models. Other sites usually pay 20-40 % of the members' spending to the models, we let you get the 60% of it!

Here is an example that represents the way you get your share from the private shows: let' s say your private show per-minute price is 1,99 $ and the member spends 10 minutes in your room. It means that the member paid 19,9 $ (10 x 1,99) for the time spent in your private room (10 minutes), from which you can get 60% percentage = 11,94 $.

It' s all up to the chat hosts when they would like to work. There is no minimum or maximum time you need to be online, you are your own boss!
