HOW YOU EARN MONEY ON SOULCAMS

When you broadcast with your cam

• SoulCams does not pay for online time, if you are online with your cam you earn money if members give you a tip, take you to private show or use the spy feature to peek in your room.
• To learn about the way you can go online with your cam, read the How to broadcast with your cam page.

Private shows (Standard and 1on1)

• You will know immediately if you are taken to private session. It has a special notification sound, check it out here: Furthermore a 'You are in private session' text will appear at the top-left part of the SoulCams model application.
• You can set the per-minute prices of the different show types in the Performer area at Settings / My profile / Performer charge options menu.
• There are two types of private sessions: Standard and 1on1, to understand the difference between them check out the Private show types page

Tips / gifts

• Members can send you tips both when you are online with cam and you are offline.
• You can either receive normal tips or virtual gifts. We have a lot of virtual gifts that members can give to you. More categories: constant categories, seasonal categories. Check out our gift collection here: Virtual gifts on SoulCams
• When you broadcast with your cam and you receive virtual gifts you will hear this notification sound: . The virtual gifts also have an animation, they will appear in your model application and your portion from the gifts appears in your stats also immediately. So if you broadcast with your cam and a member says that he gave you a gift but it did not have an animation, nor you heard a notification sound and it does not appear in your stats then he tries to deceive you and you got a fake tip.
• Note: you can receive tips when you are in Free chat, Hidden cam mode and during private sessions also and even when you are not online (members have the option to send you offline tip from your profile)
