The majority of aspiring cam models pick Chaturbate as their first site. With an easy to navigate interface and a great earning potential Chaturbate.com has all the rights to become the best webcam site ever.

The results of top models` work are truly inspirational: $50-60k+ a month. Besides, Chaturbate has the biggest audience with thousands of people watching every day. Don`t forget that the competition is also high.

Let`s take a look at Chaturbate webcam site and find out why is it so popular.

Models Sign up
Member login

Type of site: freemium (free chat based. Nudity and performing explicit sexual acts in public chats is allowed and that`s what models do. You can earn good money from privates as well but Chaturbate is mostly about building a fan community and doing shows in public to collect more tips).

Who can sign up as a model on Chaturbate mature men and women, as well as 18-30 years old models, couples, groups, trans-models.

Model share: 50%.

Site currency: tokens. 1 token=$0.05. To determine how much exactly you earn on Chaturbate in dollars, simple divide your total token count by 20.

For example, 100tk=$5, 500tk=$25, 1000tk=$50 and so on.

Members buy token packages, the bigger the package the bigger the discount. That means a member pays approximately 87-90$ to get a package of 1000 tokens instead of 100$ but you will still get 50$ share.

Payment methods:

• Bank transfer (for Europe and USA)
• Checks by regular mail or e-mail (USA only)
• Cosmo Payment (processing fee $1)
• Crypto currency
• Direct deposit (USA only)
• ePayService (processing fee 0.6$ for every 10$)
• Paxum (processing fee 0.5$)
• Skrill (e-wallet)
• Wire payment (processing fee $45)

Minimum payout is $50 (1000 tokens). If you don`t reach the minimum payout in a period of 2 weeks, tokens will be transferred to the next payout period.

You can request a payout daily, bi-monthly, monthly.

What is Required To Get Started in Chaturbate?

As usual, you will have to get your ID or any form of verification document, issued by authorities (if you are not a US-citizen) and that`s pretty much it. That is one of the reasons of why Chatterbates is so popular: you don`t have to buy streaming equipment or an expensive camera to start your first broadcast. You can even stream with a built-in camera with your laptop. Of course, it would be better if you start off with an HD camera, but it`s okay if you first try the site out and see how it goes for you. Nobody is going to fine or ban you if your cam image is blurry.

Cam site allows streaming in public places but be careful: unverified people should not appear on cam. If you want to attract more viewers to your first broadcast we recommend trying it outside, or in a car.

Chaturbate connects with interactive vibrators Lovense and that is a great tool to make members tip – they love sending tokens to see a model`s reaction to the vibe.

Ways to make money on Chaturbate

The name Chaturbate consists of two words: Chat+Masturbate, meaning that chaturbate is an “act of masturbation while chatting online”. That is only one way of making money here. Let`s review them all.

• Tips in free chat. If you look at top models rooms, you will notice they rarely go privates. Why? They don`t know to lose an impressive viewer count and they can make more tokens from tips than in a private chat. Typically, a model sets a goal for her room to tip towards and once a goal is made she moves to next one. The goals usually are topless-naked-BJ-pussy play-pussy play with dildo-squirt-anal. You may skip some or add new if you wish. The idea is that you progress to your show, with each next goal being hotter than the previous one. You can use Apps to make setting goals up easier: Tip Nulti-Goal, Crazy Goal, Lovense-Me etc. You will find Apps&Bots in the left corner section below your broadcast.
  
• Private shows. No matter what you see in public there is still plenty of users on Chaturbate that prefer private interaction with a model. Private shows charge member per minute, from minimum price being 6 tk/min and maximum price 240 tk/min. You can set a minimum amount of time to spend in private up to 30 minutes. That means that even if a member quits your private earlier than 30 minutes you will still be paid total amount. And of course member should have enough tokens for a 30-minutes private or he won`t be able to enter. You can also set minimum amount of tokens to request private to 1000 (the highest as of now) and users that have less tokens on account balance will not be able to request a private.
  

By default your private rate is set 60 tk per minute and your private show recordings are allowed. After private member receives a non-downloadable recording of a show to store in his collection. Only an original buyer of a show can view this recording. You may choose not to allow recordings and only enable this option for a tip.

Spying on private: 6 tk/min minimum price, 30 tk/min – maximum. The amount of spies in unlimited.

You will find these settings here:

• Content sell. Chaturbate offers models to upload videos and photos for sale.

You can choose any price you want.

• Everyone – the media content will be displayed for members for free.
• People who purchase or join fan club – free for fan club members or paid for others.
• Only people who purchase – only paid access.
• Only people who join my fan club – exclusively for fan club members.
• Besides, you can sell access to your social media account, such as Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, messengers like WhatsApp or even Discord.
  
  
• Fan club. By default, fan club is disabled but you can activate it in your account Settings&Privacy.
  

Members pay a monthly subscription to view exclusive media content. You may add extra bonuses and perks if you want, for example, free spying on hidden shows, discounted tip menu, free Snapchat access or others.

Register on Chaturbate

There are four streaming categories on Chaturbate: men, women, transgenders and couples. If you fit into of them, you are welcome to sign up. There is no age limit but you need to be 18+ to register as a model.

Signing up process for models and members is the same. In order to create new account on Chaturbate, click on an orange button in the upper right corner.

Create a nickname, password and type an e-mail.

Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation letter on e-mail. Click on it to create an account.

Your account status after registration is basic. You may watch other streams free but you cannot chat unless a model has allowed members without tokens to chat.

This is how your profile will look after signing up:

Clicking on an Edit your Bio button you may add personal information to your profile, such as appearance, body type, your location and languages you speak.

If you want to be able to broadcast and receive tokens on streams, you need to complete an account verification.

Click on a button I want to broadcast my cam now.

Become a chaturbate model (individual account)

After clicking on Submit Age Verification button, the process of application begins.

Proceed to step 1.

First you need to upload your ID or another government-issued document for verification.

Choose a country that has issued your ID (not the country of residence).

And select and ID type. If you are not from USA, choose Passport option.

Then you need to upload a high quality scan (or photo) of your ID and a photo of you holding ID next to your face. You can choose whether to complete verification process on mobile using QR code or on your PC.

After your ID is uploaded, you will need to get back to your Chaturbate account and sign an Independent Broadcaster Agreement Form as a next step.

If your documents have been declined, you may try again. One of the reasons of application denial could be:

1. The image you provided is grainy or blurry, of bad quality
2. The documents you provided have already been used for verification on another account, suspended for fraud
3. You look too young on an ID. In that case you may try re-upload your ID or use another government-issued document if you have any.

If you feel that your documents have been unjustly declined, try writing to support@chaturbate.com and explain your situation.

After you complete a verification process, you may open your first Chaturbate live broadcast.

Click on a Broadcast yourself button on the upper panel.

You can stream with a Flash player but we recommend using OBS software for a higher quality.

You can download OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) from obsproject.com.

On a broadcasting page click Use External Encoder to Broadcast.

Then click on a View broadcast information button.

Copy broadcasting key.

Open OBS.

1. Click on + button on Sources panel.
   
2. Add new Video Capture Device.
   
3. Click OK.
   
4. Choose camera device to stream.
   
5. Choose resolution. We recommend to choose as high as possible for HD streaming.
   
6. Paste the code that you copied on Chaturbate in a Stream Key. Open Settings-Stream-Stream Key and paste there. Click Apply and OK.
   
7. Once your Stream Key is saved click on Start Streaming button. Your broadcast on Chaturbate starts and you can view your stream on OBS. If you wish to stop and end your stream, click on Stop Streaming on OBS.
   

Become a chaturbate models (account for couples)

When an individual account is ready and verified, go to your profile settings, choose Token stats and click on Broadcaster Verification Form.

Now you basically need to repeat the process of registration for every performer. Click on Add another agreement and sign another one for your partner, using their legal name and information. Then click to Add more ids and add your partner`s document for verification.

If you scroll this webpage down a little, you will find a guest account option where you can add a performer to make a guest appearance on your broadcast. This is not the same as adding another performer. Any guest you add should already be verified on another independent account and they will not see any information besides your nickname. Your guest should add your profile as well.

Some things you need to know about streaming on Chaturbate as a couple or a group:

1. You don`t need to appear on cam together always but every person that appears on cam with you has to be verified.
2. If you stream often as a couple and then suddenly decide to broadcast alone your regulars will wonder where is your partner and you might even lose some of your members. So if you plan to occasionally stream alone as well as with your partner you might consider creating two accounts (another one for individual streaming).
3. Same-sex couple as well as groups are welcome on Chaturbate.
4. The most popular group show role-play is “hidden show”. The scenario is following: one of the broadcasters pretends to secretly stream while other people on cam don`t know that. The broadcaster tries to hide their excitement from tips and occasionally flashes to the audience while other people look away. The room topics of these shows are usually something along the lines of “shhh… my sister`s husband doesn`t know I am streaming.. help me seduce him”

Join Chaturbate (Members account)

Like we said, member and model registration on Chaturbate chat is the same. So if you just want to stay a viewer, create a basic account and don`t verify yourself.

Basic users without tokens can watch streams and sometimes even interact with models, but they cannot tip, go private or purchase content.

Users with tokens usually appear with nicknames in different colors.

Performers are orange, room moderators are red, fan club members are green.

Members that have spent less than 50 tokens in past 2 weeks are light blue. Members that have spent 50-250 tokens in past 2 weeks are blue. Members that have spent 250-1000 tokens are light purple. Members that have spent more than 1000 tokens in past 2 weeks are dark purple.

These are colors by default, but models can change them in settings.

Busy and popular rooms have moderators, usually more than one. Models can make members moderators by right-clicking on their nickname and choosing an option Promote to moderators.

Typically moderators hype up the room and tip goals, reply to members` questions, try to keep the vibe and shake the room when it`s slow.

Join Chaturbate as Agency (Studio Account)

There is no visible option for creating a studio account on Chaturbate. But don`t worry it does not mean you can`t work as a studio here.

Just like signing up a model or a couple account, first you need to sign up as a basic member.

Sign up model accounts using this link (http://chaturbate.com/accounts/register/?studio=YourNickname). Change YourNickname to your account login (the one you created as a basic member).

This way you will receive all the tokens earned by models signed up via your link. If you have trouble setting up studio account or have questions, write an e-mail to support@chaturbate.com and ask to link models to your studio account.

For every individual model complete the application and verification steps (go to the subsection Model Account).

How to start making money as a webcam model

Okay, so you`ve accomplished the easiest part of becoming a cam model and now you want to know how to make money on Chaturbate and gain followers. We have some tips for you:

1. Don`t be afraid to seem an amateur. Guys on Chaturbate like new models that seem so cute and inexperienced. Think girl-next-door vibe, try to be friendly, active and flirty, but not naïve and have in mind that some members come here to try to trick you so stay focused.
2. Milk the new girl status. First week during promo-period, try to stay online as much as possible. Don`t log off after an hour or two. Sometimes it takes 1-2 hours to start building viewer count and the more people you have in your chat room the bigger your chances are to get to the top.
3. Don`t disappear in privates too often especially if you set them to low price of 6-18 tokens a minute. You main goal is to gain more followers, people that will come watch you after promo is over. You may announce private at the end of the shift and make it seem like it is an exclusive experience and you have never done it before.
4. Try to strike a conversation with new members. If the chat is active and tips are coming Chaturbate pushes you forward and your profile gets a higher position. Don`t be shy to ask viewers to follow you, put thumbs up for a good rating. If someone comes to your room and say “hi” don`t hesitate to reply back.
5. Hashtag is your friend. You can use maximum 5 tags in your room topic but make them count. Use the ones that describe you and your show the best. If you want to see an example, go to the Tags on the upper panel. Don`t use too popular, like #lovense, there are thousands of models with that tag and members may not even notice you, especially if you are new.
   
6. Make a simple tip menu with 10-20 positions for a start. You can advertise flashes in tip menu> or put something like “blow a kiss/show feet/dance/body tour/show tongue/if you like me etc”. Flashes usually cost 50-80 tokens, simple actions like stand up or show tongue 10-30 tk. Sexier actions like do blowjob, strip topless or fully nude cost around 100-500tk and cum shows with toys and fingers cost 600-2000 tk.
7. Use an App like Tip Multi-Goal, Crazy Goal and others to set up a tip goal for you. If you feel like room is slow and tip goal doesn`t work, then change it to a smaller one. It`s better to start with simple and cheap goals than to put “undress” for 1000 tk right off the bat. Read the room – if your audience is generous and they clear your goals quick then it makes sense to make the next goal more expensive.
8. If you don`t want to undress in public you may set up a Ticket show (there is an App for that too). During Ticket show advertisement seduce member and give them a little taste of what`s to come. Ticket shows are usually successful if you have 100+ viewers in your room.
9. Don`t type all the time, use your voice even if English is not your native language.
10. Try to change angles often and don`t look at your phone or hunch your back while sitting. Chaturbate does not have avatars a profile pictures and all members see before entering your room is a random screenshot of a live show so make sure the screenshot is inviting.

These are some basic tips that can help you start well on Chaturbate and gain your first followers. Good luck and don`t forget that consistent working hours and an optimistic attitude is the key to success!
