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.

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 webcam job bases on virtuality so 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.
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 empasize on making long-term relationship with members, regular customers visiting you day by day will result in becoming a successful webcam model.

Yes, of course! Webcam modeling is not a complicated job at all, you do not need any trading or practise 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.
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.

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.
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 elementarily. 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!
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.
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.

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’ spendings, 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’ spendings to the models, we let you get the 60% of it! Of course it means much more money for you so do not hesitate to start your webcam model career with us, click here to start the model registration process! 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 $.
How and when do I get my payment from you?
