Site review
Chaturbate is a freemium-site and that means that nudity in public chat is allowed as well as penetration acts. There is still an option to go private but some models don`t accept privates and prefer to earn tokens, doing show in public chat.
Rooms are sorted by registered viewer count. The more registered users with tokens you have on your broadcaster the higher your position on site will be. Every hour top streamers can win money from Chaturbate.
Your profile position on site is also influenced by:
- Your chat room activity, if there are members that write you in chat
- Tip frequency and amount. Bigger tips and if they are from different users put your profile higher.
- Your room rating. Members can put thumbs up to your stream here:
Try to keep that rating in the green zone.
Features and functions
This is what your profile would look like. You can add more information, photos and gifs to make it stand out for members.
You may edit your profile, add or delete some information by clicking Edit your bio button.
By clicking Manage photo sets button, you may upload new content (photos or videos) to your profile. It can be free to watch or you may set access for tokens.
Some models also add their social media accounts for sale.
Click on Add new social media button, in the opened window type your username, duration if subscription and the price. Note that if you chose a limited subscription, for example, with a month-long duration you will have to delete member from your followers list manually after the subscription expires.
In a Settings&Privacy section you may change your private prices, allow spying on shows and manage your fan club.
Chaturbate allows models to open their fan clubs if they want to.
Fan club users have access to exclusive media content uploaded by a model (if you have any in your profile – you may upload new vids or photos and set access only for fan club members) and their usernames are highlighted green in chat room.
Manage your private show settings here:
After creating an account your private show price will be 60 tokens per minute and spying on private show – 6 tokens per minute by default. But you can change it anytime and even while you are online. You will just need to go to Settings&Privacy and then don`t forget to update.
Private show minimum minutes – set the minimum amount of time a member has to spend in private chat with you. You can set maximum 30 minutes. If a member quits private before the minimum minutes have expired you will still get tokens for your minimum time.
If you wish to spice up your profile a little bit, add floating images or just make it look pretty like the below example, you are going to need an HTML code.
Past the HTML code in Edit your bio-About me and don`t forget to Update.
If you don`t know HTML coding that is not a problem. Here is an extremely useful site where you can find basic information about how to add images and buttons to your profile via HTML and many other tips.
In Apps&Bots section you will find a collection of apps to set mini-games for your viewers, put a tip goal or send automatic messages to room guests.
We recommend Tip Multi-Goal and Lovense-Me for setting a goal and Dorothy Ultra Fem-bot or Dream bot+++ for auto-messages, announcements, responses – they are the most multi-functional and help you run your chat room.
Earnings and Commissions
Chaturbate gives models 50% of token amount. That means if you earn, for example, 1000 tokens you will get 50$. Basically, one token for model costs $0.05. If you want to quickly determine your total income in dollars, just divide your total token amount by 20.
Members can buy tokens in packages (for more expensive packages they get a discount). No matter the token value for members, models are always paid the same.
There are various ways how you can make money on Chaturbate as a model:
- Tips during public show. This is the most common way. Many models prefer to set tip goals for fans to tip towards and once the goal is accomplished, they perform a sexy show. The contents of the show are up to a model: some barely strip and play in free chat and some do explicit stuff like anal or squirt. The majority of streamers are naked in public chat but that doesn`t mean you have to do the same. You can be a successful model, performing only in
- Private chats. Models themselves set their private rates, from 6 to 240 tokens per minute. If you are doubting whether you should raise or drop your private price, rely on the following:
- Your cam quality. If you stream in HD you should not put a low price
- Your experience, ability to tease, sensuality
- Your English-speaking level
- If you offer the kind of show that many don`t (for example, anal, squirt, cosplay, exclusive outfit, pregnant fetishes etc)
If you think that you put on a good show and have excellent feedback from members don`t be shy to ask more. After all, it is your room, your rules. Some models request extra tokens to perform a certain kind of show and some just have it all included in their private rate. It is up to you to decide.
Content sales. Chaturbate is not big on content sales and of course is no competition to Onlyfans or Manyvids in that department but you can still earn some extra tokens here and there by uploading your photos and videos for sale. Recorded show pay per minute price is usually lower than live show price.

The highlights of models` review of Chaturbate:
“There can be some lag issues on Chaturbate from time to time but overall it`s good”.
“I`ve tried multiple sites, some similar to Chaturbate, like Myfreecams or Camsoda, but only Chaturbate has worked for me. I`ve been camming there for about 2 years. At the beginning I didn`t know first thing about camming, how to use OBS, bots and apps but some members have taught me. I`ve met my regulars and created an amazing fan base since then.”
“Big advantage is that you can mute users without tokens and they don`t disturb you with spam”
“I cam as a mistress on Chaturbate. I`ve never had many people in my chat room, but I have my fair share of regulars and people that occasionally come into my chat room via tags. There are many guys on Chaturbate that are looking for domination kinks”
“I tried multistreaming once – Chaturbate and another premium cam site but it didn`t work out for me. When I got private on premium site I would just leave my chat room open on CB and people were coming to watch free show without tipping. Then I decided to stream separately on CB and premium cam site and my average income has increased. I started focusing more on Chaturbate and interacting with them rather than just doing nude show for free. Same with premium sites. My advice is don`t mix Chaturbate with premium sites: it will look weird if you get called into private in one site and everyone on CB will just see you undress for some reason. They will not tip anyway if they notice you do that and will just keep waiting for free nudity over and over again”.
“IMO, Chaturbate is a site for models that like to stay active, have good energy and presence. If you are boring, members will just skip you. You can`t sit around and wait for tips to flood or that someone will invite you to private (like it sometimes happens on premium site). You have to be entertaining.”
