Here we provide a summary of the main details that will help you to get started as a webcam performer.
Preparation:
Adult broadcast networks are legally required to hold documentation that verifies the age and consent of each performer. Therefore, registration at any network will require that you prove your age with appropriate official documentation. You will need to provide one or more of the following...
- Birth certificate
- Passport or Photo ID
- Government issued license (a drivers license in most cases)
- At least one photo (non nude usually)
Documentation is normally faxed to support staff who then verify and approve the application. However, you may post your application if you don't have access to a fax machine but approval will take longer.
Hardware:
You'll need access to a computer that meets the minimum performance and technical requirements. In general, you will need to have...
- Private access to a computer
- a computer system that is no more than 5 years old running an operating system of the same era - that is, winxp through to win7. Any operating system earlier than winxp would be unsuitable.
- 2GB of RAM or more is preferred. Less RAM is sufficient if you only login to one network but you will earn more if you login to two - four networks at the same time. That requires a computer with more RAM. Modern computers will be shipped with more than 2GB so chances are you need not be concerned about RAM.
- A webcam with an image rated at 1 megapixel or more. HD webcams will provide a better user experience for members and sales are achieved more frequently when performers operate an HD webcam.
- High speed internet connection (e.g. ADSL2) and modem. If you are on a broadband internet connection then you already have this. Just check with your ISP that the upload speed is also fast. But, if you are using a dialup connection, unfortunately that is too slow for any video streaming and you'd need to upgrade your ISP account and modem.
Software:
When your application is approved, you'll be able to login to your "performer centre" and download any supporting software. Be sure to follow the installation steps so that the software is configured correctly.
Camsplitter software like SplitCam will take a single webcam stream (video and audio) and split it out to several applications (in this case, the webcam stream is split to each network console). Best of all, its free.
For best earning potential, signup to these webcam portals:
Livejasmin - your single stream will broadcast to livejasmin.com, mycams.com, liveprivates.com, lj.com, joyourself.com, livesexawards.com, cameraboys, and to the sites built by nearly 500,000 affiliates promoting the live cams of this network. If you want maximum exposure, this is where to get it.
Cams.com - A large international webcam portal with a ton of traffic. Worth the effort to signup. Cams.com is part of the Medley Network which includes their flagship, cams.com, as well as other well known and popular sites like Adult Friend Finder and Penthouse. Models who have signed up here have reported immediate earnings from the cams.com members. A very active site to model on.
Internet Modelling - is a very professional recruitment agency for the webcam modelling industry. If you need assistance with the whole process, have many questions needing answers, or want to take advantage of training offerred by other models, then Internet Modelling is the best place to start. Because they are a recruitment agency, you'll have access to a large number of webcam portals from this one agency, and its free.
 SakuraLive - mostly features Japanese girls, however, SakuraLive has an international membership and models from all around the globe do equally well here.
ExtraCashFromHome - is the recruitment site for the highly successful rivcams network. Beginning in Italy, this webcam portal has expanded globally and is extremely popular. Rivcams shouldn't be left out when deciding which networks to perform on. We regard RivCams and Livejasmin to be the most important portals for any webcam performer.
Webcam4Money - is the model recruitment site for Video Secrets. Models on this network are broadcast to flirt4free.com, BigCamTube.com, and VideoChat.com. Video Secrets have been in this industry since the beginning and have a huge list of paying members and have proven their worth to models performing on their sites.
Other Important Networks to Try:
Chat Hostess - features performers mostly from Asia (Philipines), however, recently there have been many new performers joining this network who have an ethnicity that is not asian and they are reportedly making regular incomes from the private sessions.
PrivatKamera - Hungarian model recruitment site that provides livefeeds to VIPCamSex.com, Camprime, Camperfect, and Neon Cams.
HomeCams Model Broadcasting Network - is not new to the industry but is new to livesexjobs.com. If you signup here, please come back and let us know how you are doing. Your feedback is important to us and allows us to give good advice about any particular network. Models performing on the HomeCams Broadcasting Network are broadcasting to privatefeeds, VIPCams, RealLiveGuys, LoveSexxxy, LiveLatina, Camsters, AZNCams and HomeCams. Lots of traffic to earn from there. This network is offering a base commission of 40% of revenue, and up to 80% of revenue may be earned. For new models to this network, they will guarantee an income (wage) for the first 100 hours that you perform. Female models earn 7 dollars per hour, male cam models earn 6 dollars per hour, and couples earn 9 dollars per hour. To qualify, you must work a minimum of 6 hours per week and earn atleast 6 credit points per hour worked. This offer seems to be very good and is an exceptional incentive to try this network. Guaranteed income while you get started! What have you got to lose? Signup here for female models and couples, and here for male models.
A good way to start is to signup for livejasmin (cameraboys if you are male), Extra Cash From Home, Webcam4Money, and Cams.com (all links listed above). Spend your first month performing on webcam with these four networks receiving your livefeed from your cam splitter software (splitcam). During that time, see which networks are providing the best income. If you have a network that is not generating sufficient income after a month, swap it for one of the remaining ones and see how that goes. Do that until you have the three best converting networks receiving your livefeed. Its a process of fine-tuning.
Working on Cam:
It's quite normal for new webcam performers to begin earning good money immediately, but it is just as common for new models to begin working only to find that they aren't generating the revenue that they'd hoped for. The most common reason for this is that they have neglected to setup their cam splitter software. Using a camsplitter is essential. For example, if I were to login and perform connected to only one webcam portal, I might get a few members in private for various amounts of time over a few hours. The private being a few minutes each with long waits between them. Now had I used a camsplitter, and broadcast my webcam stream to four different webcam portals, then chances are that I may have had privates on those networks at a similar frequency, and earned four times as much. The second reason that a new performer might generate a low income is due to inexperience. To put it bluntly, you cannot just sit in front of the webcam and wait for something to happen. Well, actually you can and many do make a living by doing just that but unless you live in a country where the currency exchange rate works in your favor, then most probably you will need to perform for your money. Become animated, tease, and seduce. If you want an example of a very good performer, take a look at Nikki Ferrari on streamate. Read her profile and watch how she drives the members wild. She gets the members begging each other to give her tips just so they can see more of her. Well done Nikki. New performers have so much they could learn from you.
If you have followed the steps, submitted your application with proof of age documentation, ensured you have suitable software and hardware, signed up to several webcam portals and installed their software, prepared a private area where you can work uninterrupted, and finally, studied an expert to see how it is done, then you are ready to go live on cam. If you give webcam work a good amount of time to build up a following, then you'll find that the earning potential is so much higher than a regular job and for less hours.
Don't forget to come back to livesexjobs.com and let us know what your performer name is and on what networks you signed up with and how you are doing. We can target your room with qualified traffic and promote your brand individually to get your earnings started. Just send a s quick message from our contact form.
