SOME BASIC SUGGESTIONS FOR WEBCAM MODELS

• Not paying attention to the site and ignoring visitors is not recommended. If you're not feeling well, or you're not in the mood to perform online, then it's best if you go offline and only come back once your mood improves. If visiting guests often see that you ignore them, they will not return. Please keep in mind that the visitors come to the site to relax, to have fun, and to see upbeat, smiling 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. Staring at the screen is not recommended, so please try and place your camera above or really close to your screen, and always try to look straight into the camera when you're interacting with your guests.

• Leaving your camera while online is really not recommended. If you need to leave the camera even for a few seconds, you have to go offline or utilize the hidden cam feature until your return. Users opening your chat room only to find it empty will usually leave your room immediately.

• Chat hosts who do not show their face to visitors usually get less attention from viewers. It is important to always look at the camera, and maintaining eye contact with members is a key element in becoming a successful chat host!

• Be sure to have proper lighting in your room, because the better lit your room is, the better your camera picture will be. Also, note that the higher up you place the light source, the more shadows will fall on your face (see the illustration above), which is unflattering and not recommended to do. Natural light (windows) has an undesired effect on your camera picture, so we advise you to use artificial lighting at all times.

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 (paid 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!

TYPES 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 tokens 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.

Fan Club members and VIP members

Fan Club members and VIP members are usually loyal members on the site who deserve really special care. Most of them spend serious amounts on the site and they can decide to support you. You can build up a stable Fan club base by providing exclusive contents and constantly updating them.

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 stays much longer in private show (paid 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 music, 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 paid 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. Viewers 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!

Basically, chat hosts' age or appearance is not so important. Remember that there are millions of men with different desires, some of them love plump girls, some likes mature women while of course some prefer slim girls around 20, so forget the thought that members may not like you.

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 Translate) 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!

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 Flirt/Only talk 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 Flirt/Only talk 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.

I actually work on another site, can I work on your site too simultaneously?

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.

If you earn over the minimum payout limit, we will send your payment. You will need to choose a desired payout option at the Model Sign up procedure.

If you send me my payout, will it be visible anywhere how I earned this money?

Of course not! We respect webcam models' privacy, all the payments we send will appear discretely and nobody will know how you made it.

Is there a minimum time I have to be online?

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! Although note that for earning serious amount of money you should spend at least 3-4 hours online a day, members usually return to their favourite model day by day. You can make the biggest benefit from returning members so if you are usually online you will be a much more successful chat host.
