And at the end we will attach a real case of beginner webcam model. She wasn’t afraid to share with us the results of her work on BongaCams:

Cam Model review, BongaCams earnings

“My main income, as you noticed, was from Tips… To be honest, I could have earned even more. My own fault. I’ve been called out many times in private. There you can actually gain more tokens. But I would probably have to undress there, which I don’t want to do yet. I accidentally clicked “confirm private” once. I got 1.32$ for 5 seconds. But If you constantly agree to the private chats, you can earn quietly on 200-300$ a day. Ah, unfortunately, I was not able to overcome shyness.

But you ask what did you do then, if you didn’t undress? Just talking and chatting. Mostly, the broadcast was attended by those who were not particularly interested in intimacy. Naturally, many of those who came to the broadcast were waiting for me to show something. But quickly “went away” when they realized that here they will not get it. I don’t know what it was that attracted people. Maybe just my naturalness and sincerity. However, my broadcast was consistently attended by about 800 people. This is really a lot… considering the competition on BongaCams.

So… Do I like working as a webcam model? I think so. At least it’s better than being employee or physical work I believe.”

Cam Model’s ways of making money

Performers don’t just get paid for running a broadcast. Viewers (Members) come to the Cam Site to have an interesting time, chat with Models and watch cool shows. They buy tokens (the internal currency of the Cam Site where the model is broadcasting) to do this.

By the way, each Webcam Model has basically the same list of services. (tip menu). That is what the viewer can spend their money on:

1. «Selling Photo and Video»:

This is how viewers (members) see your private photos and videos. You can upload your erotic (and not only) content unlimitedely. They are in the model’s profile and their price is set by the model herself. Do not forget, the more the viewer has a choice in your private gallery — the more he has a desire to buy something. For this way of earning there is even a platform Fansly. There you can start separately from the working on “main” cam site.

There is even a separate platform called Fansly (where viewers pay you for subscribing to your content) for this kind of income, which you can start separately from your main work on the webcam site. So web modeling is not limited to just one video format.

Note! To stimulate sales of content in the gallery, you can ask your viewers to say what they want (f.e. outfit, makeup they want to see you) and make private content based on the requests . Users will definitely appreciate it. And it will definitely increase your income and make it more stable.

2. «Private chat»:

A Private Chat-room is a closed “room” where your viewer pays you for a virtual “one-on-one conversation”. It’s mean communicating only with him. In addition, each minute of such a chat may costs big money. Men are ready to spend large sums on such things.

As a result, models-beginners for one such short conversation receive 100 and 200$. That is why such a service is a source of revenue for the model.

So, how it looks like on BongaCams:

3. «Tips»:

Tips are quite a nice bonus in model’s work. Because sometimes a wealthy man can come into the chat room and send you 1000$ without asking for anything in return. Just because he liked you by communication or appearance. That’s why it’s very important to be able to communicate and always look good.

And if you also have Lovense, the memebers will send tips you just to make your toy start “vibrating”. That’s a nice extra income too. Besides, we have an article about setting up and connecting Lovense.

4. «Tips Menu»:

This is what a chat notification looks like:

Sometimes viewers (members) are motivated to send tokens because they get something for it. Therefore, a model should have all services listed in her menu (what she is willing to do for a certain amount of tokens).

From the menu we can see: there are people who are willing to pay for you to put “cat ears” on your head, for example. These are probably anime fans. As you can see, the audience can be varied. They all have their own interests. This should be considered too.

Note! On BongaCams the menu can be customized with a special bot right in the model’s personal account. Moreover, you can read our article on connecting and setting up various other bots here.

5. «Income from Recorded shows (privates)»

After the end of the Private Show, the model is offered to save thta for its further publication in the profile in private access. And for a certain amount of money, a member can purchase the recorded private as a regular video on your profile. But this function is not available on all sites.

6. «Answers to questions from viewers (members)»

BongaCams update 04/26/2024 update. Webcam models have a unique opportunity to answer members’ questions and get paid for it. Yes, this is new way of getting money. What is the benefit of this feature? A completed questionnaire will make your profile more attractive. Also, it increases the attention to the model from members. And increased attention is always converted into money!

7. «Wish List»

It’s hard to call it a way to earn money, but still models are often lucky enough to get good viewers and get money sent to them for what they want, indicating it in their profile. It can happen once, if some “sugar daddy” join the broadcast and gives you a tip, immediately covering the cost of the desire.

You could call it just a nice “bonus” in your Cam Work.

8. «(Content) Subscription Service»:

Usually models use this as an additional way of earning money signing up on certain platforms. It’s simple, the model just gets money for members subscribing to her content. Some platforms have such a function and the content doesn’t always mean erotica or something.

You can post your paintings, some photos from walks, anything. There are no limits. The subscription function is available, for example, on the Fansly cam service, where you can publish photos and videos of a completely any nature.

9. Fan Club

The essence of the Fan Club is that members buy a subscription to the model’s content and get certain privileges for it: exclusive photos and videos, news from the girl, etc. However, this feature is not available on all webcam platforms.

10. Streaming on multiple Cam Sites at the same time

Perhaps, camming on several sites at the same time is one of the super profitable ways to earn money and it is used by many Top Models. For this purpose you need only one program for multistreaming. In our separate article, we will go into this in detail.

11. Screenshot for a free (Paid Screenshot)

If a member wants to take a screenshot on a broadcast, it will cost him a certain price. The model will later be able to see in the settings who took what screenshots. However, this function is not available on all webcam sites, f.e. LiveJasmin.

12. Paid messages

This is really good way to make money on webcam. And there are almost absolutely paid messages on Livejasmin. It’s means if a member wants to write you it will cost him a certain number of tokens.

So, As you can see, there are actually quite a lot of ways to make money on webcam if you try to combine them, you can really be surprised by the result.

Become a Webcam Model, benefits for Camgirls

As you can see, working as a webcam model has many advantages and the ones listed below are just a small part. Many girls find many other positive features in it as well. So, the benefits are the following:

1. Financial Independence

When you Become a Webcam Model, you”ll be financially independent. This is probably the main advantage. If you work hard, you will definitely succeed. Because the audience gathers pretty quickly. And this directly affects your earnings.

Imagine, for example, you regularly gathers about 500 people on your broadcasts and everyone will send you tips (and this is just one way to earn). you can get more than 250-350 dollars for one such broadcast. But again, such “figures” come with experience. The main thing is patience and hard work.

2. Male Attention

Many girls need in a man’s attention. Because it gives them strength, energy and emotional support. It’s important for girls to feel this way to validate their attractiveness and confidence. And that’s okay, girls.

3. No need to leave home

Who wouldn’t want to get money “sitting” at home? Not only girls dream about it, but also guys. Who wants to get up at 7 am and go sleepy to the bus with the same “sleepy” people? You should be in good spirits and feel alert to communicate with men.

It’s nice to wake up at 10:00 in the morning, have a cup of coffee… And then broadcast from your phone or laptop and talk to people. Just a dream, not a job. However, many Stream Models arrange morning walks with the Phone and viewers (members) also like it very much. So only you decide where to broadcast: on the street or at home.

4. Creativity and Fantasy

To impress your audience, you can come up with something interesting for them. It could be anything that suits your interests. For example, make a cam show where you will paint your body that “glow” in the dark (It’ called “Body Art”) . Also you can even watch a movie together and discuss it afterwards.

And, for example, literature lovers can discuss what they’ve read with their members or organize “literature nights” on certain days. As you can see, there’s a really wide range of things you can do. You’ll be especially lucky if you meet similarly creative people and you biuld a good and lasting relationship. Now you probably realize that webcam modeling is not just about satisfying physiological needs.

5. Free Schedule

The model decide when she will launch the broadcast and make a schedule in her profile for the members to see this. For example, you can take the day off on Tuesday and Thursday. And launch broadcasts basically from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm or any other time. However, keep in mind, there is a rating on some webcam sites. And it increases depending on the activity of the model.

Simply put, if you stream every day for 5-6 hours, the cam site will increase your rating, so you’ll get more viewers. And accordingly, your earnings will grow too. We think, it’s clear. Therefore, it is better to make a schedule in such a way that you start broadcasting more often and stay there longer.

6. No more bosses in your life!

The Webcam Modelling Industry is an important discovery of the 21st century. And today we have a unique opportunity not to work for anyone. Therefore, webcam can give you freedom from “bosses” from which you are probably already tired. Besides, who likes to get up at 6 am?

It is enough to simply sing up a Model Account, start a broadcast and communicate with men getting money. And no “boss” in your life will command you, because now you are your own boss. Plus, you won’t have to listen to things kind of “Where’s the report?”, “Why are you late?”, “Didn’t sleep again?” etc.
