This is a person who does not like to hear or see things relating to sex. Also who is easily shocked by rude things. which allows her to attract the attention of viewers and create a pleasant atmosphere during the broadcast.

Such models wear close and decent clothing on broadcasts which helps them create an image of modesty. In addition, they prefer to wear dresses or high-necked blouses, knee-length or long skirts and pants. Often these models do not undress at all (non-nude models).

Their own behaviour can imply a sexual connotation. But they prefer chatting with viewers in an intelligent way and strive to maintain a friendly conversation by asking viewers questions, asking their opinions and trying to establish an emotional connection.

As a result, they focus on interacting with the audience on a more emotional and intellectual level. However, despite their modesty, they may use some flirtatious elements in their behavior such as smiles, gentle gestures and gait. This helps them to create a more attractive image and arouse the interest of the audience.

2. Adulteress (“Slutty”)

The type of webcam model “Slutty” is usually used by girls in order to attract a large number of viewers to their broadcasts. Such models usually behave defiantly and sexually. It is not surprising that since the beginning of webcam history, this is the type that has become popular.

In this type Appearance plays an important role. Girls who behave as a “Slutty” usually use bright and sexy makeup, revealing clothes. They may wear seductive lingerie, high heels and accessories to emphasize their sexuality.

By the way, models of this type can use Lovense toys and other intimate devices to engage the viewer more.

3. Mistress or Dominantrix”:

These “fetish models” usually present themselves as strong, confident and always in control. They may wear appropriate clothing such as latex or leather outfits, high heels, paint their lips with bright lipstick and accentuate their appearance with black.

Mistress can be very different you need to understand for yourself, what do you want? To be a Goddess who is worshipped, a strict Teacher who teaches her members (vievwers) to be the best for her, an untamed Amazon, humiliating and demanding submission.

4. Cosplay/Anime girl (A weeb)

In fact, you can also cosplay a famous person or celebrity, if, for example, you have similar features. So, cosplay is a great option for models who “burn in” his creativity. Create different images, introduce role-playing games, use decorations and accessories, wigs, makeup it is both costly and very interesting.

1) Image quality: It is preferable to choose a webcam with a resolution of Full HD (1080p) or higher to ensure a clear image when broadcasting. Plus, look out for some webcams that have a wide viewing angle, which can be useful when working on a webcam site.

Remember to point the camera lens toward you so that it doesn’t “crop” you. The main thing is to get a nice angle;

2) A good computer or laptop: Models need a “reliable” computer with sufficient resources perform tasks quickly and smoothly. It is recommended that you choose a computer with a good processor, enough RAM and a fast internet connection speed. However, if you only have a phone, you can start working from it.

6 step — «Lighting & Background»

Professional lighting can make the image more vivid and attractive. It is recommended to choose soft and even light sources to avoid shadows and reflections.

However, if you don’t have much money, you can simply turn on a table lamp and point it at yourself holding it at a distance. you can choose different bulbs, with warm or cold light. All this is basically cheap, so it is worth experimenting to create an atmosphere. After all, lighting is one of the factors in the success of a webcam broadcast.

Example 2:

In the first minutes of a broadcast your Chat Room may be “empty”. Well, of course, it’s your first broadcast and nobody knows you. However, BongaCams is quite a forward-thinking site and it actively supports beginning models by raising your Chat Room to the top of the search results to attract you viewers.

Plus, don’t forget when you sign up as a model you have a Promo Period of 14 days. It allows you to increase your earnings by the fact that your “chat room” is in the top of BongaCams. So, after about 5 minutes you can get 15 people. And then it can go up to 300-350 viewers.


11 step «Mid-broadcast – hold viewers’ attention»:

At this stage there is active communication with the audience: answering questions, reading out messages, etc. And your main task is not to ignore or be passive. Otherwise, people will just get bored and start leaving.

It is also better not to go away from broadcast (especially when there is an “influx” of tips) and should not often turn it off (pause), and you need to stream uninterrupted. This mistake is made by models when viewers start sending a lot of tokens, and they just “leave the broadcast” and come back, for example, only after half an hour and do that several times during the stream.

Besides, during the broadcast you always need to read the chat cause a member can send 300 tokens and ask for something, and you won’t see that and he can either take offense or complain to support.

Plus, during the broadcast you may be invited to (1) Private (private chat) and it will look like this:

Model can change the cost of private chat . The default price is 60 tokens per minute. And in full private chat a minute costs 90 tokens. However, you can disable this feature in your dashboard in the “Chat Settings” section. This is often done by models to get more tokens in free chat.

Private chat will end automatically if the user runs out of tokens (money). The model or Viewer can also interrupt the chat at any time.

You may also be invited to (2) Group chat and it differs from private only in that you have more than 2 people are chatting with:

If you know when you will start your broadcast again, specify the date and time of the new stream. People will start subscribing to you so they’ll automatically get a notification every time you’re online which means that there will be more tokens earned.

To choose any of these actions, left click on his name in the “People” list and select the desired option. You can see all mutes users in the  “Banned & Muted” list.
