So, you want to know how to become a live cam performer? Well, first things first, becoming is a big decision. So, you have made up your mind and you’re ready to start your new career as a top-earning live webcam model but don’t know where to begin. So, let’s start with the basics. Who Can Become a Webcam Model? Anyone who is over 18 years of age can legally work as a cam model. This sexy position is most commonly filled by women –both straight and lesbian, but in recent years there have been more and more straight men performing online as well as transsexual women, gays, and couples earning top incomes as live cam models

There is no course or class to take in order to become a live webcam performer. Some webcam models do acquire experience as time goes by. Some performers chose to work with a webcam Studiolike Tiptop Studios in Prague or Studio 20. Being a cam model involves a lot of motivation, a friendly character, and some basic improvisation skills. Every live cam show is unique, and every webcam model has a style. What happens in the live sex chat rooms are completely up to the model and the viewer and there are no fixed rules that dictate how an adult chat ought to be.

One of the major advantages of being a live webcam model is that you set your own pace. As a live cam model, you truly set your own schedule and work as much or as little as you want. Some live cam models like to work from 9 to 5, others like to work nights and some only go online once every few days and only for a couple of hours. Clearly, in order to collect fans and to generate a decent income, some self-discipline is always a good asset to have, but if you’re only interested in working a limited schedule, once a week and generating a small extra income, you can. On adult webcams sites like Live Jasmine or Flirt4free the models are self-employed –no one will tell you what to do or when to work and only you control your schedule.

we asked award-winning live webcam performer Devious Angel of studio 20 and  Live jasmine to describe a typical day in the life of a cam model like? (I wake up at 4:30 –5 AM. I start my shift at 6 am. I work 10-12 h /day. Then I run to the gym and then home tired tired tired!)

Now we’re getting to everyone’s favorite question. The truth is that’s a complex, there are many factors that affect the potential income of webcam models, and different models generate very different profits. Some sites allow models to set their own rates; some allow members to tip models during shows. There are websites where users pay fixed rates for private or group shows, but they can enjoy discounts for longer shows or pay extra to join a model’s fan club and access her sexy content. Keep in mind that for the first month or two many adult webcam sites will have a strict cap on the rates on new models. In some cases, a model will only be allowed to charge a dollar per minute, when 50 percent of that will go to the site, but this is only for the first few weeks until the website is convinced that the cam model is committed and wants to perform. Some webcam models make thousands of dollars a week –others just a hundred. It depends on how much time they spend in private chats, how many fans they have, how many days a week they perform, and how many tips they receive. There are some couples that perform together from home and manage to earn enough so they don’t need to work anywhere else and there are some webcam models that are so popular that they make huge profits just from tips, not to mention virtual gifts when members can send to their favorite performers. According to Beta Beat, one of the most popular cam girls -who goes by LittleRedBunny -rakes in $4.99 per minute. Top earners like her can end up making an impressive $1million a year, says a Jasmin.com spokesperson.

This is a very simple answer: NO! You never have to do anything on webcam that makes you feel even remotely uncomfortable in any way. This is your chat rooms, your rules you are in complete control and you only need to do things that you are comfortable with. Some cam models only tease, strip, or show off. Others dirty talk or role-play and there are some that like to dress up. Some use adult toys, some just chat and see where it leads and there are models that have some kind of specialty. Needless to say, being a bit adventurous and willing to explore your sexuality is a great thing, but you will never ever need to put yourself in an unpleasant situation on webcam and can always choose to end the show or disengage –whenever you want. Remember to set boundaries with your viewers/fans. You should be completely relaxed and at ease with your performance and the things that you do online. If you are in control and find real pleasure in your show, your viewers will enjoy watching you and they will not only pay for the private session but will come back for more.

So, if you have decided to work as an independent webcam performer. The first thing you need to know is just because you have decided to work as an independent cam model doesn’t mean that you are in this alone. You find as an independent cam model you will find plenty of support from other models with more experience along with industry insiders and the support team from the cam site you have chosen to have your show on.

What equipment will I need to get started?

One thing you will need to do is to make sure that you have some very basic equipment: A working computer, a decent internet connection, and a good web camera are a must.
