Earning Potential

"Every potential webcam model that is contemplating live sex as a career wants to know exactly how much a webcam performer can earn online! The answer is thousands of dollars (United States Dollars) per week! There are many online models who have well established performer profiles that are earning more than $3000 per week.

However, to say that every performer who registers today will be earning an executive income tomorrow would be simplifying things too much. It takes time to learn to perform and establish an online persona that will attract paying members to your chatroom. For some the process comes naturally and they do indeed begin to achieve exceptional earnings within a few days after registration. For most models, it will take a little longer to get a good flow of visitors to your room and to become comfortable chatting to members and guests.

Like most jobs, experience improves productivity over time.

As a performer not associated with a studio, you'll be able to set the per minute price of your performances. Typically that would be $1.99 per minute as an industry average. Some broadcast networks will allow you to set less if you wish and certainly you may set higher amounts if you have something exceptional for your paying visitors.

When setting a price for your private show, you need to bear in mind that there will be others who are sharing a part of the revenue that your performance generates.

A percentage will be paid to affiliates who spend their time creating sites that promote you as a performer. They may promote only your chatroom or they might promote the entire network that you have registered with. Affiliates drive traffic to your room. It is their traffic (visitors) that you convert to revenue when they enter a private sex show. Because affiliates are an integral part of any successful cam network, it is fair to reward their effort.

The broadcast network will also take their slice of the pie. Usually that is the biggest slice but how much of the revenue that is shared with your cam network will depend who you sign up with.

Your earning from each of your own live sex shows is usually about 35 percent of the total per minute rate charged!
If you are charging the industry standard, $1.99 per minute, then your cut is 70 cents per minute. Remember this is a guideline and there are differences between cam networks.

At first glance that might seem quite minimal. It would be a mistake to assume that you can only earn 70 cents per minute ($42 per hour). And that is because webcam models will always use cam-splitter software to login to more than one network simultaneously.

By logging in to multiple webcam networks at the same time, you increase your exposure and thereby increase the number of private sessions obtain in a given time period. It is quite common to have more than one member in a single private session at any one time by splitting the live webcam feed to multiple networks.

Be aware that increased connections will increase demand on your bandwidth and will ultimately slow your video feed. For best results, try not to connect to more than three or four cam broadcast networks at any one time. You'll get plenty of exposure and build a reputation and following from members in your chosen networks.

If you decide to work as a part-time or full-time webcam performer, you'll make so much more money than you could from your regular job. Its a great way to make a living, working from the comfort of your own home and working whenever it fits into your day."
