TIPS OF THE TRADE WEBCAM PERFORMER





RANDOM TIPS FROM EXPERIENCED PERFORMERS

The main thing is you are the undisputed star of the room. The following tips were provided by successful webcam models performers who have developed great techniques for making the most money for their time chatting online.

 

  • It's important to remember your appearance and your unique, fun and sexy personality are what will keep customers coming back for more.

  • look your best. Have finger and toenails painted.

  • Place the Web Camera towards the front of you so you look towards the camera while reading and interacting with members.

  • Always have plenty of light on you for the camera. This is very important. Members want to KNOW they will be able to see what they are paying for. :) Placing a light in the front of you directed towards you is usually best as it gets rid of dark shadows. Most web cams depend on lighting when focusing, especially cams with the auto focus feature.

  • Have sound working. Make sure your microphone is always turned on when you are online ... MANY customers LOVE hearing your sexy voice. You will sell more shows and make more money by TALKING and typing. Don't get me wrong, you can do well only typing, but having sound would improve your earnings by a pretty wide margin.

  • Pretending to remember returning customers helps ALOT. These guys want to feel important. (doesn't everybody? lol) Address customers by their screen nicknames as often as possible, especially when you ask them questions. Most of the top models "write down" the returning customer names so they get more familiar.

  • Laugh often and smile. This looks more fun and inviting doesn't it? Never get online in a bad mood. It doesn't help you. Good energy attracts good energy. Nobody can stop your shine!

  • Be creative when you are teasing the customers. Show you are interested in them (even when you are not). The longer you are in private chat with them, the more you get paid. Have fun asking questions about different fantasies. Members will usually let you know what they like and you can decide what you would do and what you won't.

  • Keep all your toys close by, within reach and ready to go at the start of every show.

  • Have a good pace in your private chat, where you tease the member a bit by dirty talk while attending to their requests. This helps set a slower pace, and a longer lasting privates on average. You DON'T want to just right away drop your clothing and get naked within 5 seconds of entering private. Tease a lil. Ask questions, while you're stretching your thong, and ask them how much they want it. This adds alot of spice as well.

  • Spread your attention around while in free chat. Make every customer want to take you away from the other people in the chat room. Never give too much attention to any one individual in free chat. Request that they go private often.

  • Switch it up a little. Play a nicey nice girl next door one hour, then hit them with a little hard to get. All in good fun of course. Let these guys know they have to take care of you.

  • Make sure to let customers know when they can expect you online as much as possible. This position has a schedule that is very flexible so we're aware this schedule can vary.

  • Many models like to wear wigs. This helps some models who like to keep their identity discrete. This also helps those models who wish to spend less time on getting their hair ready. This also makes it easier to switch up different looks sometimes.
     
  • Wear matching, sexy and fun outfits and high heels, whenever possible. Wear Pantyhose, leggings, sexy scarfs, sexy pajamas, etc..

When performing in front of a camera, LIGHTING IS EVERYTHING. Ask any photographer. You are capturing LIGHT. Having good light, will make the average camera look alot better.


Not to mention, you will look better on cam. We usually set up 2 lamps like the ones below with 5 (40-60) watt bulbs each arrayed in front of you. Now you dont need to have all this light, just make sure you have bright light directed to the front of you, preferrably from both sides for the greatest results.

Most of you have enough lighting lying around, I'm sure, but here's a couple examples in case you're looking for a lamp or 2.


Internet 

This obviously depends on where you perform.. Depending on where you live may help or hurt your abiliy to get fast internet connection speeds. Our systems works well with all types of broadband connections (DSL, Cable, ISDN, 3G / 4G Wireless Mobile, Aircards, etc).
The best and most consistent connection speeds for video streaming from your webcam is Cable modem and Dsl. Cable internet services are usually offered by Comcast and Time Warner Cable (Road Runner), to name a couple. Dsl services are usually offered by At&t and Verizon.

3G / 4G connection speeds often work well also. Just make sure with 3G and 4G Wireless connections you get an unlimited plan so you don't have to worry about overages, just one flat rate. (services usually offered by your cell phone carrier) We usually find T-mobile to have the nicest data plan deals for unlimited wireless connections.

 

Webcams


Our system is very user-friendly and works with both Mac and PC. There's nothing needed to be downloaded or installed to webchat on our network (just Simply plug n play). Our system works with most webcams. Anything Logitech, HP, dynex, built-in laptop webcams, etc. would work very well with our system. But there's a few that works alot better than others - And it shows in the pocket book.


Here we'll list a few webcams to use if you're going out to buy a webcam and you want to MAKE SURE that it will work well for you. All of these have good enough video quality and features to work on our network. The only difference is the price range and extra features, quality that are listed below each item.

Bottom Line - Here's the basic features you want to have on your webcam: You want to have at least 640 x 480 (vga) video resolution and built-in microphone for sound. You may also want to spend around $40 to $50 bucks and get HD (720p) along with zoom (helps members see clearer and closer). Cams without zoom , you can just pick up webcam and bring it closer to you if needed.

 

As you can see, the Logitech C910 HD Webcam, and the Logitech 9000 Pro are the total packages as they work very well with our software. But really you can't go wrong with the Dynex webcam for around $30, and the Logitech c260 for around $40 until you get a couple checks. In the long run, you would want to invest in a cam thats around $60 to $80 at least as most of those cams have great features for both, photo / video image quality as well as the superior sound quality.


Any webcams above $100 simply wouldn't really be needed as these cams would be plenty. Let us know if you needed help picking a webcam and we'll be sure to help.



STARTER TIPS


Webcam modeling is an excellent way to work from home in your spare time. If you are in need of some extra cash and aren't afraid to show some skin this line of work can earn you $20-$100/hour. Just follow these steps before getting started. 

 Check in with the studio for tips and help if you find yourself unaware of what you should be doing. A good studio will give you everything you need to succeed and will offer a personal representative that will help you be successful.
 Ask the studios how and when they pay. Nine out of ten studios will send you a check every two weeks. Some pay daily to a Paypal account. Some pay as much as 45% of earnings.
 Submit the necessary forms to ensure you are legally allowed to work. This information is very important when working as a webcam model. These documents are usually needed in the form of a .jpeg image file. Examples of these are a photo ID, signed model contract, and a 2257 model release form. These forms are almost always provided for you by the studios.
 
Research a company that is hiring. Most webcam studios will always be hiring but sending them an email will confirm this.
 
Look closely for how much the studio is willing to pay. You will find a number of studios that will pay you just 30% of your earnings - look for places that offer 40% or higher. This may seem low but 25-35% is an industry standard. The greater majority of the earnings stay with the studios to help pay for marketing and credit card fees.
Don't be swayed; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Make sure the cam company has everything in writing or on the website. Is there a person to speak with? Do they respond quickly??

PREPARATIONS


Be friendly
The number one rule is to be friendly to the customers in the free area. Say “hi”, call them by name and interact with them. Make small talk. No one wants to feel ignored. You only get one chance at a first impression, so make it a good one!

Focus
Free yourself of distractions when in guest chat, don’t watch TV or listen to loud music in the free area. There is nothing exciting about watching someone that looks bored. Smile, flirt, maybe do a little spin. Look alive and happy to be there!

Schedule
Try to work an consistent schedule. Even if you can't stick to it 100%, still try. At first you want to try out and see what's best for you especially if you work at home. After you figure that out, you want to be consistent with your schedule for the most part. Spend time online, and give yourself a chance to earn more! The more time on line, the more your list of regulars will grow! You also get valuable experience and learn the nuances of the position more and more. Just like any other job, the more you get experience, the better your performance tends to be.

Good Lighting
One of the most important things you have to remember is to always perform in good lighting. It's well worth it. You convert at a much higher rate if the client believes they will be able to see everything. Try and get rid of dark shadows. Make sure proper lighting is put in front of you on both sides and in front of you. Please take a look at the current models working with us and see the degree of lighting our models use to guage what you may need in your computer room.

Use Audio/Sound
Let your customers hear your voice. Your voice will make their experience better, and make their experience even more real! Remember, It's not all about your body and being physical. I know some of these guys may make it seem like that, but mainly it's about the best personality. Personalities that make these guys feel like you really enjoy chatting and having fun. It helps you convert more private chats and makes your private chats go longer once you're there.

Get To Know Your Customers
Get to know your customers and remember them, it will make them feel special! You'll notice the same people almost everyday coming to the site just for you. You may want to remember them to. Some models write down the special clients. You obviously want to make sure you give them a little extra hello when they come in the chat room. The more you work, the more clients you will have making it even easier to get privates.

Have fun!
Flirt, tease, talk a little dirty in the free area. You are here to make money! Show the customers what a fun time they can have with you. When you give them a great show, they will give you high ratings. You should be getting the best rating you can – by providing the best show! Always do your best to please a customer. Only do things that you are comfortable with and let them know what you are willing/not willing to do. Alot of times they are cool if you decline and just keep going with your show.

Bring Toys
Consider offering a variety of sex toys least 1 or 2 at first for the beginner (as many as you can afford). Try to have sex toys in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Members do look for performers with toys – so, pick toys that you will enjoy and that customers will enjoy you using. Make sure your room is personalized!

Dress Up
Offer a variety of outfits, shoes, stockings, pantyhose, and accessories. Again, as many as you can afford. At least a good 3 or 4 outfits. Customers enjoy different fantasies – you can make them come true! If they want a secretary, you can dress and play the part. If they want a mistress, you can have the latex outfit and whip. The better you look, the more opportunity for making even more money.

Remember the rules
No one likes a rule breaker and it can get you kicked off the site! Do not show nudity in free! It is a common violation, but an easy one to avoid. Nudity in free will cost you. The members asking for it are not there to pay, they are there to get something for nothing

Kick vs Ban
If someone is giving you a hard time, give a verbal warning. If they continue to bother you kick them out of your room. If they come back and continue to bother you, then pursue banning them.

Do NOT share Personal information
Be cautious, in the end we are concerned about your security. Do not call them! No matter what. Do not give out your personal contact information. Do not give out emails, IMs, skype, mailing address, websites, etc.

Upgrade Your Equipment
If you need to, Upgrade your equipment once you've gotten comfortable. The better your computer equipment and the faster your internet connection, the better your video stream will be.



QUALITY CONTROL


Now it's time to talk about the scene where you'll be performing and how you should present the room. We've already covered the importance of good, bright lighting in your room. Having a neat room is also very important. You want to have a neat / clean area. No kids, no animals, clutter, trash, food, etc..

Stand back and really look from your camera's point of view.  We took a look around at the girls who have been winning all the big bonuses every pay period. These (photo up above) are a good example of what you could expect a good web cam room to look like. .

Cameras are all centered to focus on them, The rooms are neat, clean, etc.. The all have sexy outfits and neat appearances.

Notice how they have the room set up? You may want to ditch the little computer desk in your living room. Grab a couch, a bed, a cushy floor setup with pillows, etc.. Whatever you do, make it hot!

Move your computer into the bedroom next to you or at the end of your bed.

Arrange things so you have everything you need at arm's length.

The Clients will always ask if you have toys and if you don't - it can affect your sales. 

If you don't have any, it's time to get some. Most beginner toys that are quality will run you $10 to $20. Dildo, VibratorAsk our staff if you have any questions.

Final note: You can use your webcam to take your stills but ideally you should take them with a proper camera. Webcam still images are notoriously low quality compared to even a decent 'point and shoot' digital camera.


  • Always dress to impress. Wear your make-up and a sexy lingerie outfit.
  • Try working different times of the day. The internet is a 24/7 marketplace and webcam models are needed for all times of the day.
  • Use a microphone. Most customers will want to hear you.
  • Learning to work multiple sites will help you to possibly double your income. You will learn that you can get paid for broadcasting the same stream simultaneously across 2 or more sites.
  • Find sites with new and exciting features
  • Look good. As we all know, models are good looking. Keep up your hygiene and stay healthy. Be you.
  • Search around. The first thing you should do is look around for sites that seem credible. (ie. www.WebCamModelCash.com) You don't want to get ripped and end up not getting paid. Never, ever, ever will you (the model) need to pay to be on a site. Make sure the site has the information typed that matches their ad or representation.
  • Talk to them. The site that you'd like to model either has an account option, or you've got to e-mail them. This should be fairly evident. Before you make your move make sure you speak to someone on the phone. 
  • You don't need to try to do it on your own. A reputable Cam company will be able to guide you from the start of your career and throughout.
  • Broadcast. Yes, you've got to show off and look good LIVE! I believe you can do it, now you have to.
  • Connect with fans. These are your lifeblood and your 'money'. You've got to know what they want and how to fulfill it.
