Streamate – best for private and exclusive
Streamate is one of the most loved premium-based sites. In contrast to CB and stripchat public chat rules here are strict: below the waist nudity is unacceptable however you can be topless and tease your customers. Premium cam sites are based on privates and the majority of the income comes from one-on-one paid sessions.
Minimum private price is 0.49$/min and the maximum is 9.99$/min but I`ve known some models who contacted the support and asked to increase their private rates. Another option is to earn money on Streamate is to get tips (here they are called golds), start gold shows (a variation of group chat where all viewers pay in advance to get access to the show), sell their content (pics and videos) and fan club subscription.
Members cannot sort models by price anyway so no need to drop your rates low in a hope of getting more viewers.
Traffic will flow if you follow site`s recommendations:
- Streaming in HD and with a mic on
- Streaming at least 25 hours a week
- Ask customers for tags and good ratings after the show
- Fill your profile categories and stream regularly
And don`t forget to read a detailed article on how to set up a cam girl account and be a successful Streamate model.
Streamate Pros:
- High private rates and generous customers
- Lovense vibrator compatible
- Models are allowed to sleep on cam but they need to mention it`s a consensual show and they are not drugged or knocked unconscious
- Content selling
Streamate Cons:
- Model share 30-35%
- Can be tough for newbie girls that have to sit several hours in an empty room sometimes to get a customer
- Members can spy on private shows 30 seconds for free

LiveJasmin – best for double-dipping
LiveJasmin prouds itself on being the premium cam-site that sets a high standard for their models to live up to. Indeed, several years ago it had a very strict rules regarding free chat behavior so that many models decided to quit the site al-together. As of now, LiveJasmin has become more flexible and added many new features to the site to attract more models and members.
If you look at LiveJasmin main page you will notice that almost all of the streamers are very well-groomed, have great cameras and luxury environment. If your camera and audio settings don`t match the set criteria, LiveJasmin will strip you off of 10% of your earnings and that`s pretty harsh. In order to be a topmodel of this site you will need to dedicate a lot of time and effort into it, stream 8-10 hours a day, regularly upload new content to your profile and be friendly to all your customers.
If you reach 250$ in one period (two weeks), your model share will increase 5% (starting from 30%) and so on. Maximum model share is 80%. Performers who uploaded content to their profile and got a positive audio and video rating obtain a Selected model status that results in a traffic boost. Every Selected model can become Exclusive if they stream only on LiveJasmin and have earned at least 250$ in two consecutive periods. Exclusive models get an even higher position on site and are listed in a separate category.
LiveJasmin offers a choice for those who don`t want to strip on cam: HotFlirt and SoulMate categories are designed specifically for non-nude models.
New models have access to a promo private price – only 0.98 credits per minute (1 credit=1 dollar) but if they wish they can change it to a higher one.
LiveJasmin Pros:
- If you follow all Livejasmin recommendations you can easily increase your earnings
- Allows mobile streaming
- Lovense vibrator compatible
- Selling content, fan club subcriptions, paid stories
- Members pay to write you a message, to open their cam or to share audio
- Many generous users however it may not be easy to meet them while you are on a promo period
LiveJasmin Cons:
- Strict rules, you cannot be nude in public chat, otherwise you`ll be fined or banned (after multiple violations)
- Reduces your model share if your technical equipment and streaming environment are not good enough
- If you set your private price to 0.98 you will come across to many beggers and cheap customers
- Takes up almost all of your time if you truly want to raise to the top on LiveJasmin

Bongacams is a cam-site operating from Cyprus and focusing mainly on European and post-soviet countries. Typically, models there perform sexual shows in public chat, just like on Stripchat or Chaturbate, collecting tokens to make the room goals or to do specific actions.
Private rate is 60 tokens/min by default and exclusive private (no spying allowed) is 90 tokens/min. Group shows are 30 tokens/min and it is a show with multiple customers at once, while every one of them pays per minute price. Model determines how many users required to start a group show.
New streams are listed in a separate category on site and are given an average rank of Camscore. Yes, Bongacams, like many, uses Camscore system to sort models on a main page. Basically, it depends on your income so try to stay online as much as you can, tease viewers to tip you, connect your Lovense vibrator and set up a tip menu. If you get a lot of tips and frequently, your camscore will grow.
Site gives models 50% of user`s spending but there is a Hot mode feature that activates once you spend a certain hours online (you will find a timer in your account that indicates how much time online left for Hot mode to be activated). During Hot mode your model share is 60% and your cam score points multiple by 1.25.
Bongacams Pros:
- Progressive model share
- Lovense vibrator compatible
- Hot mode feature
- Allows to sell content
- Separate Camscore rating for different regions (Latin America, North America, Europe)
Bongacams Cons:
- General crowd is not very rich
- Many public chats are recorded and published online

Chaturbate – highest earnings potential
Chaturbate is one of the top webcam model sites. Most popular rooms can attract from 5k up to 20k viewers that equals the amount of one night income for models with the biggest fan base. While the traffic is huge on first pages, girls on the bottom pages, however, can find themselves struggling to get even 20 viewers in a room.
Chaturbate is a freemium-based cam site. That means that most of the models perform explicit show in public chat for tokens and some of them never even go private. Nudity in public chat is not necessary and you can be a successful non-nude model however, 80-90% of guys on CB will expect you to take your clothes off.
For those who do not wish to undress in public, CB offers an option of private show on a pay-per-minute basis (minimum price is 6 tk/min and the maximum price is 240 tk/min). New models on site get a “promo-period” (tag new on their stream and a higher position on site). Promo-period only lasts for 7 days from the moment of document approval so make sure you stay online as much as possible during your first week, be active and chatty. Your position in a CB rating is determined by how many paying users there are in your chat room and how frequently they are tipping you.
Most models use apps&bots in their chat rooms, designed to encourage users to tip and play. There are also apps for automatic notifications, auto-responses, tip menu, room goals etc.
The best way to get more traffic into your room is to
- Be active and engaging first week of streaming (promo-period)
- Get in interactive Lovense vibrator (guys love tipping for that)
- Ask members to put thumbs up on your page and follow you
- Encourage for conversation in public chat, not in PM (private messages)
- Use relevant hashtags (5 max)
- Make a room goal and tip menu with reasonable prices. Goals usually are topless/strip naked/blowjob/dildo pussy play/squirt etc.
Chaturbate Pros:
- Great traffic
- Model share 50%
- CB allows to sell your socials
- Fan club monthly subscription
- No tech requirements for streaming
- Lovense vibrators compatible
Chaturbate Cons:
- If you mess up promo-week you may find yourself in the bottom page of the site
- Can be a little hard for non-nude models because there is not a separate category for that niche

Camsoda – best for instant earnings
Camsoda is relatively new but promising campsite that looks similar to Bongacams, Stripchat or Chaturbate. It is a freemium platform where models usually get naked in public chat for tips and set goals to perform a certain kind of show however privates are still a thing and some members still prefer one-on-one interaction.
Camsoda doesn`t have as much traffic as fellow cam sites so even top models usually have 100-200 viewers in their chat rooms. Promo-period lasts around a week from the moment of document approval during which you`ll have a new tag on your stream.
Some Camsoda features include paid PM (private messages – you can set it that way that a member has to pay a certain amount of tokens every time they write you), selling content (pics and videos). There is also a Member contest with a prize of 1000 free tokens (models can vote for the members they deem the nicest and every week the results are in).
Camsoda Pros:
- Easy to be on first page
- Lovense vibrator compatible
- Model share 50%
- Interface and model profile are a piece of cake to navigate
Camsoda Cons:
- Low traffic
- Camsoda crowd is not very generous
- After promo period the site can be dead. Or not, if you`re lucky

Stripchat – best overall
Another freemium-based site, Stripchat is very similar to Chaturbate. Girls, boys and couples perform sexual acts on camera for tokens, often in a public chat. Unlike on CB, there is an option of group shows, where several customers at once can watch a model on a pay-per-minute basis. And, of course, there are privates as well with a minimum price of 8 tk/min and maximum 250 tk/min.
New streamers get a special tag on their profile and a higher position on site. All performers are sorted by Camscore (a site`s rating) with high camscore rooms being on a front page and low camscore rooms at the bottom. The best way to level up your score is to earn more money (tips, group shows and privates), use interactive toy, fill up your profile, room topic and tip menu and upload at least 5 photos and 1 video to your profile page.
The higher your Camscore is, the more visible you are to users and thus more potential tippers to come into your room. You`re gonna need some loyal fans and regulars that will always maintain your score on a same level and not allow it to drop.
You can add members to friends and interact with them, send mass messages, inviting them visit your room. Once your followers number hits at least 1000 you can create your personal fan-club. Prices of a fan club subscription are fixed: 100 tk per month for Soldier Level, 200 tk per month for Lord Level, 500 tk for Prince level. Traditionally, fan club members get perks like access to your exclusive photos and videos, free spying but you can also add some extra bonuses to levels.
Stripchat is one of the few cam sites that supports VR technology and is also mobile-friendly. You can go online via phone and in fact mobile streams often get quite popular.
Stripchat has launched a My.club platform where members can get a model`s content for monthly paid subscription and a Plasma messenger for offline interaction with streamers and paid messaging.
All performers are sorted by various categories including age, ethnicity, body type, hair color etc. There is also a category Stream specifics that includes some fetishes like JOI, BDSM, latex clothing, yoga and many more. A model can select up to all fetishes in Stream specifics but she need to upload a video relevant to selected category and wait for moderator`s approval. The details of stream specifics categories can be found in profile settings.
Stripchat Pros:
- Mobile-friendly
- Lovense vibrator compatible
- VR technology
- Many different categories to choose from
- Model share 50%
- Promo-period lasts for 14 days from the first stream
- Contests for top-earning models
Stripchat Cons:
- Typical Stripchat user is not a good spender, with 32tk/min being too expensive for them. There are of course whales that are willing to shower models with thousands of tokens but the majority is not so generous
- CamScore system basially impedes some models of earning more and they are forced to lag behind

Xmodels (Xcams) – best for multi-streaming
Xmodels is one of the European webcam model sites and is a huge player in a Western Europe market. Models can earn $$ from tips in public chats, live chat (paid group shows that typically cost 5 creds/min) and private chats with a one-on-one member-model experience. However, as a model, you accept multiple customers in your private chat room and each of one will pay per minute.
For a true private show experience there is a special feature called VIP chat allows no spies and additional customers to join. You, as a model, can raise your VIP chat rate 4 times as high as your private rate.
While you are offline you may get in touch with your fans and receive paid messages from them – there is a way to link your WhatsApp to the site and communicate with members, let them know about latest updates in your profile, upcoming shows, new pictures and videos.
Users can share their cams in public chat, send gifts with a price up to 200 credits and vibe your interactive toy.
Xmodels pros:
- Selling content
- Lovense vibrator compatible
- Paid messages from members
- 65% model share from a referred user
- Fast payment
Xmodels Cons:
- Fixed rates and you can only change it if you are one of the more active and top earning girls on site
- Lower model share from Dutch visitors (35%)
- Site takes snapshots every minute of private chats

Flirt4Free – best technology
Another premium-based cam site with high private prices and models just as pretty as on LiveJasmin however rules here are not that strict. Flirt4free has nothing against full nudity even in a public chat although you should not perform sexual acts until you get called into private or group show.
There are two types of private one-on-one sessions: Multi-User is a chat mode when anyone with credits can join ongoing private and Private (sort of exclusive show) is a chat mode where only one can watch. Models can initiate Group shows for multiple customers or Party chat (tip-driven type of broadcast where model is allowed to stay nude and perform explicit acts).
Every starting model gets a fixed private rate of 60 credits/min and multi-user rate of 40 credits/min by default. Traditionally newcomers rank higher but overall the position on site is determined by how many credits models earn per minute (this parameter is called CPM – credits per minute). If your rating is too low you will lose some privileges, such as muting guests from chatting, initiating group chat and party chat, mailing your customers, until eventually Flirt4Free will prevent from log-in and stream.
So from the beginning you need to meet as many new tippers as possible and try to maintain contact with them. Since the private rate is quite high many members like to lurk in chat room for a while and get to know but once they do they can spend long time in privates. And don`t forget you can also get money from tips, selling your videos and fan club subscriptions.
Flirt4Free Pros:
- Progressive model share 25-50% depending on your income
- High private rates
- Lovense vibrator compatible
- Selling content
- Many rich customers
- Special category for those who wish to be fetish models
Flirt4Free Cons:
- Powerscore rating system that can easily ban you from site if you don`t earn enough
- You start with a low model share
- No non-nude category
- You can only have one account in a lifetime (unless you change your name and surname and ID card)

StreamRay (cams.com) – longest running cam site
Premium site Cams.com (or Streamray.com for model signup) has been in the business for more than 10 years. It claims that top models of their platform earn $10.000+ in one period (two weeks) and receive a model share of 70%. There isn`t any special promotion for new models except that they appear in a separate category on site.
Models can regulate their private rates in personal account account settings, standard private rates start from $3/min (but it is cheaper for those who join model`s Fan Club or for those who opt for party chat instead of real private). Party chat is a way of interaction to a model one-on-one however any other member can join in on a pay-per-minute basis whereas in a private chat spying and new members are not allowed.
Tipping chat mode lets a model set up a goal and encourage members to tip towards it (like on a freemium-based site). When a goal is met models are allowed to strip naked however they cannot do that unless they are in a simple public chat.
If you multi-stream and get called into private on another site, change your public chat model to a Nude chat. This is sort of a “fake private” and any customer who wants to join you will have to pay per-minute rate.
Cams Pros:
- Progressive model share
- Lovense vibrator compatible
- Connexion feature that allows a model to synchronize their vibrators with members` toys
- Option to mute guests without funds
- Fan club
- Referral program that lets a model earn 100% from member`s spending the first 6 months and then 70% after
- Convenient Nude chat option for multi-streamers
Cams Cons:
- Traffic can be a little low for newbies
- All privates are automatically recorded by site and saved in your profile
- Cams.com automatically saves screenshots from public chat and nude chat and posts them on your profile (however you may delete some of them later)

Myfreecams – best for creating a fan community
Myfreecams was once a pioneer of a freemium-based cam sites. It offered a new concept of camming: Myfreecams is all about building a fan community while talking, stripping and teasing your viewers. There are significantly less models and members compared to other sites although the amount of money spent here monthly is insane. Top girls can get more than one million tokens in a single tip.
This site is exclusively for women streamers so no trans-person or men are allowed. Every newbie gets a default camscore (site rating) of 1000 and then, depending on her performance and frequency of tips she gets, it can drop or raise. It is crucial that you maintain your camscore as high as possible since members typically do not visit models with low camscore.
Myfreecams offers an in-site content store called MFCShare. It is a great opportunity to increase your Camscore by selling pictures, videos and recorded live sessions on MFCShare.
Skype shows are allowed but it is up to you whether you are willing to offer them are not. Typically a member pays for Skype shows in tokens in advance and then you call him on Skype. Be careful and do not do a show before the necessary amount of tokens is on your balance! Myfreecams is not responsible for Skype shows so you do them at your own risk.
Private rates are fixed: 60 tk per minute. Members can request an exclusive private with a price of 80 tk/min so no spies allowed. Group shows are 10 tk/min and you need at least 3 users to join for a group show to start. However, once you are already in a group show, it will last up until at least one member stays.
Every month the Miss Myfreecams contest is held where up to 1000 top earners can get a prize. The winner takes $1500 and 100$ goes to everyone from 100 to 1000 place. Between the first hundred the competition is really tough and some girls would stay online 24/7 to beat their fellow cam models.
Myfreecams Pros:
- Lovense vibrator compatible
- Possibility of high income
- A few models so less competition
- Selling content
- Exchanging social media
- High private price
- Model share 50%
Myfreecams Cons:
- Promo-period lasts only 10 hours of streaming, after that you lose your new tag
- It can be really hard to raise your camscore if you had an unsuccessful promo-period
- Sometimes they take a lot of time to approve your model application and sometimes they decline it without explaining a reason

Imlive – best for fetish models
Imlive is one of the oldest campsites and is still running. This platform is hated by many models and I`m going to explain why. Several years ago, Imlive introduced a new feature that allowed members to collect Bonus credits and use them after to pay models for private sessions, tips and group sessions. The problem is that the models only get 12% from these bonus credits and top models – only 20% with the usually model share being 30% and 35% for top models. This prompted many top girls to quite the site.
Although, Imlive can be very good for fetish models and dominatrix for its white label is fetishgalaxy.com. In order to promote yourself as a fetish model you need to select that in your profile settings and provide a relevant picture for each fetish.
New models get a fixed private rate of $0.98 per minute. That is indeed very low but don`t worry: it only lasts 90 minutes of private show. After that, you can change your private from $1.98 to $5.80. Try to keep your rating 5 stars. If it`s lower you will not have access to higher private rates.
Members can join Discount club (you may open it or dismiss in settings), buy private sessions in bulk for 30 minutes or more. If you get a request for a private show with a fixed amount of time, make sure not to disconnect before the end of the private. Otherwise, you will lose all the credits from this show.
Imlive section Fantasies can help you bring traffic to your room. Users write their fantasies and what they wish to see a in a private show and if that is something you are willing to do, reply to the fantasy and lure this member into private. Even if they are not available now, members can see your profile and add you to favorites to play later.
Imlive Pros:
- Good for fetish models
- Lovense vibrator compatible
- Multiple chat modes: private chat, candy show (group chat)
- Referral program that allows to get 70% from referral user`s spendings
Imlive Cons:
- Low model share with up to 12%
- Many discounts for users that have a negative impact on a model`s earnings
- Many users are still trying to trick models with fake tips or pretending to be a site`s moderator

Manyvids – best for niche content
Manyvids is primarily a vids store with most of the vids being in a fetish/niche category however if you want you can do more than that. This platform allows you to offer photoshoots and custom videos for sale, any items, sexting, selling socials and even streaming and getting tips.
Models with best selling content get into MV stars category and members can vote for their favorite to earn the title MV Star of the month. Content creators here are sorted by many criteria from their body type to appearance to their niche so fill your profile and bio for maximum exposure.
Your rating also depends on how detailed your bio is, how many videos, pictures and items for sale you post and of course how successful you are at content sales. So make sure to come prepared and with tons of quality content in store, ask buyers to write a good review if they enjoyed your content and get in touch with your previous customers to keep them updated about new videos.
You may also try streaming on Manyvids and while camming will not be your main source of income here it is a good way to raise your rating a bit, get more traffic and followers.
Manyvids is very fetish-friendly and you can find so many different categories here so it`s perfect for those who want a dominatrix content maker or even non-nude models that can make bank doing, for example, body parts fetish vids or feet worship.
Manyvids Pros:
- Model share 60-80%
- Can make money even when you`re offline
- Many good spenders
- In addition to content sales there`s an option of streaming
- Fan club
- You can sell any item you want, from your polaroid picture to your dirty panties
Manyvids Cons:
- If you want to really succeed you are going to spend a lot of time filming, editing videos and thinking of scenarios for new ones
- After the recent updates some models experience lack of traffic and lags on site

Skyprivate – best offline site
Skyprivate is different from all others in that list. It`s an offline cam site and that means that you do not have to stay online camming for hours to get traffic and customers. What you need to do here is to create your profile, download Skype and plug-in Pay per minute (you will find details in your Skyprivate model account), then wait for customers to contact you first and, if you are available, accept their call.
Thanks to a Pay-per-minute plug-in, they will automatically be charged for every minute of video call and you will see how much exactly you earn from each call. We recommend filling your profile with as much details as possible, add many appealing photos and upload new videos regularly so your potential customers can see what exactly you look like before calling you.
In your model account you may choose to decline calls from those who are not Skyprivate members. That means will only receive video calls from trust-worthy customers who already made purchases on Skyprivate.
Skyprivate Pros:
- Model share 75-80%, but a less from partner sites – 55%
- Members cannot see you before they pay you ☺
- Good if you see camming as an additional source of income. You can do your chores and accept calls when you`re free
- No need to download any software to stream or app. Just Skype
- Full chargeback protection
Skyprivate Cons:
- Standard private rates are quite low but model share and traffic make up for it
- You are gonna need to update your profile regularly and log in to your profile a lot if you want to be a successful model there
- Members get free c2c and two-way audio without paying extra (like, for example, on Cams.com, Livejasmin, Stripchat)

Onlyfans – best for selling content
You`ve probably heard about Onlyfans already. Then again, who haven`t? It is one of the top paying webcam model sites where content creators are rumored ton earn millions of dollars.
Onlyfans is best for selling content such as exclusive pics and videos, make custom content for money, sext with customers etc. Fans pay a monthly subscription to get access to their favorite model profile. You can also receive money from tips.
As good as it sounds, Onlyfans can be a struggle if you don`t have an existing fan base elsewhere, because Onlyfans doesn`t have a search system where models are listed based on certain criteria like on other cam platforms. Most creators bring their own traffic to the platform from social media or freemium sites like Chaturbate, Myfreecams, Stripchat. Another way to gain exposure is to ask popular models for SFS or paid advertising or start to get active on social media, post inviting and sexy pictures and videos.

How to become a cam model today?
Good news: if you are of legal age, no matter what your ethnicity, body type, gender or appearance is, you can be a cam model.
- Think of the website you want to sign up for. I hope this article was helpful in that matter. If you are an introvert and find a little tiring to animate a bunch of people at once, perhaps, you`d be more successful on private sites. On the contrary, if you are a lively and energetic person, you love performing and showing your body off then freemium-based sites are for you. Of course, you can also rely on privates while camming on a freemium site but the majority of top models there interact with public.
- It is important to set your boundaries straight. Yes, members are paying you to satisfy them but you don`t have to do anything they ask. Feel free to decline if that kind of show makes you disgusted or uncomfortable. If you want to be a non-nude model or a mistress that is perfectly fine and you are entitled to follow your choice, you will find your followers anyway. Every person is unique in a certain way, you just need to discover that something that makes you stand out and make sure to let it shine.
- Get necessary equipment. If you are on a tight budget no problem: many cam platforms allow mobile streaming.
- Set up a schedule. If you want to make camming not just a side job but the one and only source of income then you want to dedicate as much time to it as you would on a vanilla job. Don`t expect a cash flow in your first weeks or even months: be patient, consistent and creative. Come online according to your schedule, keep in touch with your fans.
- Once you`ve earned some money upgrade your camera, buy some new clothes or outfits, decorate your room in a way that suits your character and personality. Think of your cam persona as of a personal brand. In order to get to the top you need to be memorable and make people return for your show.
- Camming is also a little bit about acting. Remember: viewers come for emotions and if provide them they will be back for more. Slight exaggeration of your emotions is okay if it`s done tastefully.

How much webcam models earn?
There`s no salary cap and there`s no guarantee you would earn X amount. You can cash out 10$ or $1000 a day or even more. Beginners can expect to earn 500-1000$ a week but the outcome depends on many factors, such as your streaming equipment, your appearance, English-speaking level, your ability to establish contact and lead an engaging conversation, your ability to tease and the list goes on and on.
If you stream on multiple sites at once, you are most likely to earn more in the end of the day. However, if you stream on one site only this may be better in the long term since you put all your effort into it. The choice is yours.
The more hours you spend online the more you earn, although that is not necessarily the case. Private-based sites rank models, who cam a decent amount of time, higher, but freemium platforms mostly care about your average earnings per hour and the viewers count.
