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 voyeur feature to peek in your room. To learn about the way you can go online with your cam please 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 Profile settings 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 for the price of 2, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80 credits both when you are online with cam and you are offline. You get a % from the tips, it depends on which % level you are in (you can check it out under this section). When you broadcast with your cam and you receive tips you will hear this notification sound: . The 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, Members only 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)

Virtual gifts you can get online while being online with cam and the credit amount they cost for the members:

Voyeur

When you are in Members only mode and Private session members can peek in your room with Voyeur function for a fix price: 0,99 credits / min. They cannot type, only watch your live stream. Voyeur will have this special notification sound: . If you are having a ONE-ON-ONE show, other members will not be able to peek in your room with Voyeur feature. Voyeur function can be set to: ENABLE (0.99 credits / min --> fix price, not optional), or 15 SEC LIMITED

Earn extra cash by referring members and webcam models to us

You can refer members and models for extra cash. Both our member referral and model/chat hosts referral programs are for lifetime and also note that by the performer referral system you also can earn money while you are not online.
