Webcam forums are filled with people. Like TONS of people and that makes it really hard to control all things, all the time. If you’re unsure as to how to conduct yourself, then this article will certainly help you understand more about the topic. One thing I cannot stand is consumers and models with poor forum etiquette. This article explains everything you need to know about conducting yourself properly on forums.

Cam Model Forum Etiquette

There are tons of forums out there, maybe you have experience with most of them, but then again maybe you don’t. Hey, I’m not one to judge. At least until you start to wile out like you’re the mean girl in a 1980’s movie. (Trust me, girl, that is never okay and people WILL be laughing at you if you’re actin’ a fool on forums for everyone to see.)

On a serious note, if you haven’t ever checked out forums, there are some that can be really helpful. Just a quick google search and you will be able to open up a world that you never knew existed. An entire community of other sex workers that support each other and become lifelong friends. There are forums out there that let you interact with your fans and create new fans with a really immersive community-type feel, and industry forums where you can network with hundreds of industry moguls.

That being said, there are definitely things that you need to take into consideration when you’re deciding to sign up and become an active member.

Things To Consider Before Starting Threads

Before starting a new thread to start a topic or ask a question, make sure that the answer isn’t already out there in another thread.

I have seen newbies on forums torn apart because they didn’t take the time to look around and read the previous threads, or do any research on their own. I hate to say it, but most of the time it’s a thread started about the simplest question, where the answer has been talked about a million times already.

Here’s the deal…

All of us take the time to get on these forums and give advice, offer support, share our tricks and tips with people (newbies to the cam game included) so it’s almost like a slap in the face when someone comes on the forum that no one has ever heard of and doesn’t take the time to put a little work into figuring out some things about breaking into the cam industry on their own.

Don’t take it personally. You need to understand that it seems as though every other week there is a wave of new cam girls that come barreling in thinking that it’s all rainbows, sunshine, and butterflies shooting out of our asses, over here. They think they’re going to make $3000 their first week out, and all it takes is an ass smack or a titty shake.

Pro Tip: Just because you’re pretty and cute and all the boys in your high school wanted to bang you, doesn’t mean that you’re going to succeed as a cam model.

So for someone to walk in and expect us to give them the secrets to success like it’s a spirit stick from Bring It On (the original, obviously) is insulting. If we all did it the hard way, so can you. Especially since you might not last more than 2 months once you realize it really isn’t all that easy. At the end of the day, every model is our competition, and the fact that we all decide to get on and share trade secrets should be respected, not taken for granted.

Use your time wisely, read the forum, and comment in other threads for a few months before starting your own. Become a part of the community and you’re going to have a much better result.

Always make sure to read the TOS for the forum.

This sounds like an easy one to remember, and maybe it is and people just decide to break the rules, but either way please do yourself a favor and make sure that you know what is and isn’t allowed to be talked about before you start rambling off at the fingertips.

Understand what type of forum you are on.

If you’re on a forum where there’s a group of sex workers that all talk and support each other, make sure you aren’t posting threads and trying to spam for promotion or with referral links to your affiliate sites/items. That’s rude and disrespects the safe space that they have created and culminated for so long.

Interact With Fans

If you’re on a forum where the key point is to interact with fans, then make sure that you are actually taking the time to talk one on one with them (Great example: FreeOnes) and utilizing the platform to recruit new fans and build some solid relationships. That’s why the guys are on there, to be able to talk to their favorite porn stars/adult models, not to just read post after post about what’s new on your website that they should join.

If you’re on an Industry forum make sure that you are keeping it professional. Everyone enjoys a good laugh, but if you start spouting off without regret, you will create a bad name for yourself very quickly, word will spread and people will not want to work with you. You never know when you’re going to need connections so networking is a really important piece to building any career. Don’t burn bridges unnecessarily.

Treat everyone with R-E-S-P-E-C-T

I feel like this one should definitely go without saying, but *sigh* some people these days just don’t know how to do this. I’ve said this before and gotten the “Well, you have to give respect to get it” line. Everybody deserves respect to start with until they give you a reason to take it away. So when someone is genuinely trying to help you, or pointing something out about a rule on the forum, don’t respond with a snarky comeback.

Take all advice (yes even constructive criticism) and use it to improve. Whether it’s by NOT using the advice given or by actually using it. It still will teach you what/what not to do… and we can always be improving our craft.

Conclusion: Chat On Forums Now That You Know The Rules

So go out there and start to network and become part of the forum world communities. If you need a list of the top webcam forums for webcam models, you can click here. There is a lot of fun that you can have and a lot that you can learn. Just don’t be a giant twat waffle about it.

I cover a lot of things related to camming and streaming live. However, many models just don’t know where to start. This article covers some of the basics to help you understand what’s needed to get started.

Getting Started Being A Webcam Model

These steps are in order, so best to follow the order. Read through everything then take action…

What To Do First

So you want to be a cam model? Now that you’ve made that decision, it’s time to get yourself all set up. If you don’t already have high-speed internet, it’s time to upgrade. Your internet speed plays a big factor in your ranking on almost every cam site. To test your current internet speed, run a speed test at www.speedtest.net.

The main thing you’re gonna want to look at is your upload speed. If it’s below 1.0 Mbps, you’re gonna want to upgrade to something faster. This will not only make your cam stream run smoothly but will also reduce the delay in your chat room when interacting with fans.

Next Step

The next step is getting a laptop or desktop computer that can run the software needed to cam. Every cam site has its own software, and there’s even additional webcam software that you can download from the internet.

Some are more advanced than others and require a faster computer. If your computer remains near 100% CPU or lags when running your camming software, it may be time to upgrade. A computer with an i7 processor (or its equivalent) and 3 GB of RAM or more is recommended for optimal performance.

If possible, it’s also a good idea to use a wired connection. It’s usually faster, and much more reliable than going wireless. To set up a wired connection, you just connect your computer to your modem or router using an ethernet cable.

Next Up – The Webcam

We can’t forget about the webcam itself! Even if you have a newer laptop with a built-in camera, you aren’t going to get the quality that you get with an external webcam. Aside from that, it’s nice to be able to pick up and move your camera around for some shows.

There are two webcams that every established cam model will recommend. The first is the Logitech C920. You can pick one up on Amazon for around $70-$75. It’s a great camera that shoots in full 1080p HD. If you’re looking for a camera with some extra features, the Logitech BCC950 Conference Cam is a great option.

This camera also shoots in full 1080p HD. One of the perks of this camera is the remote control that it comes with. With the remote, you can move your camera in all directions and zoom in and out without having to physically move your whole camera.

It has a noise-canceling microphone built into it, so your fans will be able to hear you loud and clear even if you’re moving around, dancing, far away, etc. This cam is a bit more expensive though. On Amazon, it will run you around $200.

The Lighting Comes Next

So you’ve done all the upgrades, but your cam stream is still looking dark or grainy. Good lighting can make all the difference! Natural lighting is great if you’re camming during the day, but professional lighting works just as well… day or night!

You can find inexpensive, professional webcam lighting on Amazon. There are some decent ones on there for around $50. When positioning your lights, you’ll want to place your light sources in front of you, behind your webcam.

This way it’ll light up your face and make you look vibrant. You may need to adjust the height or position of your lights to prevent glare, especially if you wear glasses. But with just a little tinkering, you’ll be able to get it just right. Never use fluorescent lighting! You may think it’ll work well because of how bright it can be, but it’s very unflattering on cam.

Video On How To Become A Webcam Model

Well, those are the basics! Now you are ready to select a webcam site to work on.

Skype is a great platform for offering live adult shows. Some models have reservations about using Skype because they’re scared of getting ripped off. But there are adult-friendly payment processors out there that you can use to prevent getting scammed.

Profiting From Selling Skype Shows

The first is SkyPrivate, and they are a great choice to go with. You can use SkyPrivate to charge your fans per minute for Skype shows. All you have to do is download and install their plugin. It counts the minutes you’re on Skype with each customer and bills them per minute.

There’s also the option for the customer to prepay for a show and send you the full payment beforehand. If it’s done that way, you’re responsible for ending the call after the agreed-upon time.

Pay Per Minute

You choose your own per minute rate and can change it at any time. You can also set it up so that different customers are charged different prices. This can be useful if you have a customer who does frequent shows and you want to offer them a discounted price.

Aside from just the payment processing part, their platform shows you up to the minute statistics. They also create a profile page for you that you can use to advertise on social media. They have a built-in widget to create promo banners too. When you first sign-up with SkyPrivate, you keep 75% of everything you make. But you can keep up to 80% by referring paying members or models.

Paxum

The next option you can use to accept payments for your Skype shows is Paxum. They’re similar to PayPal, but they’re adult-friendly. Getting started with them is easy, and cashing out is easy as well. They charge a withdrawal fee, but that is the only charge associated with them.

To receive your payment via check, there is only a $5 fee. To withdraw via wire transfer, there is a $50 fee. I’ve always received my payments by check, and have never had a problem. They generally get to me within 5 days of cashing out.

Some Sites Allow Skype

Some camming sites, such as Myfreecams, let you advertise on their platform that you do Skype shows. You can charge your customer the currency on that camming site beforehand, and then do the Skype show either right away or whenever you and your customer are both free. Putting it on your camming profile that you do Skype shows and mentioning it occasionally while you’re on cam is a great way to get the word out there about your Skype shows.

Say NO To Paypal

One thing you never want to do is accept PayPal. They are not adult-friendly and your account will be permanently banned the second they find out what you’re doing. Any funds you have in your account will be held for months before you can withdraw them. And PayPal will not let you create a new account with them.

Besides that, you can easily get scammed if you use PayPal. Your fan can pay for a show, do the show with you, and then call their bank and ask for a chargeback. Since you can’t prove what you were offering (since anything adult is against PayPal’s TOS), your customer will get his money back and you will have done that show for free.

Conclusion: Skype Sex Shows Pay Great

When done correctly, offering adult Skype shows can be very profitable. A lot of guys prefer Skype over other camming platforms because it feels more personal. Also, the video quality is often better and there isn’t a delay in sound.

Video About Selling Skype Shows – Made For Webcam Models

​As a way to show appreciation for your work, fans will often want to spoil you with items off of your wishlists. There are several different websites that offer wishlists. Most include both sexual items (toys, lingerie, etc.) and everyday items that you may want. Some even let you pull items from any website you want and add them to your wishlist.

Amazon Wishlist & Other Wishlists Models Must Know All About

The first wishlist site is Amazon.​ They have an incredibly wide variety of items that you can add to your wishlist: toys, lingerie, camming equipment, lighting equipment, lube, heels, make-up, and so much more!

Aside from sexual items, they also have thousands of regular, everyday items that you can add to your wishlist. Sometimes fans prefer to spoil you with something that you can use in your everyday life, outside of work. Amazon also allows you to add email-delivered gift cards to your wishlist.

Gift Cards Are Great Too

If one of your fans wants to let you pick out an item yourself, they can buy you an Amazon gift card for any amount they want. It will go right to your email and you can apply the balance to your Amazon account. If you’re selling custom content, tangible goods, or even Skype shows, your customer can also use Amazon gift cards to pay for that service if you allow them to. This is a good option because it completely eliminates the chance of a chargeback.

Besides the thousands of items that you can add to your wishlist through Amazon directly, they also have a universal wishlist button that you can add to the top of your browser. When installed, it allows you to easily add items from any website to your Amazon wishlist.

Careful With Your Lists

There have been some reports of adult models getting their Amazon wishlists shut down. This is a rare occurrence, so you’ll be fine as long as you’re careful. Just make sure you don’t put any links to your adult content in your wishlist description.

A Major Flaw

There is one major flaw with Amazon as far as security goes, but I’ll tell you how to avoid it. When you add items to your Amazon wishlist, your address is not shared with the person who is buying you the item, but it is of course given to whoever is shipping the item. When you go into your wishlist settings, you can choose to accept or decline Amazon’s third-party shipping agreement.

If you choose to decline it, you can only add items that ship from Amazon directly to your wishlist. If you choose to accept it, third-party merchants (ones that are not Amazon themselves) will have access to your shipping address when you add items sold from them to your wishlist and a fan purchases them.

Get A P.O. Box For Privacy

This isn’t a problem in most cases, and any issue with it can be completely resolved if you have a PO Box as your address. But if you’re using your personal address, and a problem arises with shipping, that merchant will most likely contact the fan who purchased you the item, and in their correspondences, may unknowingly reveal your address to that fan. So just be cautious of this when choosing whether to allow shipments only from Amazon or from third-party merchants as well.

Consider Delivery Code

The second wishlist site is Delivery Code. They are completely adult-friendly, so you never have to worry about your wishlist getting shut down. They are secure, so your personal information will never be revealed to the buyer.

DeliveryCode allows you to easily add items from any website to your wishlist. One issue I’ve noticed with DeliveryCode is that they charge a small fee when your fan purchases an item, as well as a shipping charge… even if you’re in the United States.

Generally, I’ve noticed the shipping charge to be between $9.99 and $19.99. Some fans don’t mind paying the extra money in order to get you exactly what you want, but with Amazon having such a wide variety of items themselves, and many of those items having free shipping, sometimes DeliveryCode is not the best option.

Aside from gifts off your wishlist, your fans can also send you money through DeliveryCode. You can choose to use your money to buy yourself something off your wishlist, or have the money deposited directly into your bank account. They just added this option today, actually!

Other List Options

Other sites such as FreeOnes and Cam Soda offer wishlists as well. These wishlists feature only adult items, but there is a wide variety of items to choose from. These wishlists aren’t as popular as Amazon or DeliveryCode, but it doesn’t hurt to advertise them on your social media accounts if there’s something on them that you like.

Show Appreciation

When your fans purchase you something off of your wishlist, make sure you thank them. Unless they put a custom message on the gift that lets you know who it’s from, you aren’t going to know unless they personally tell you.

If you aren’t sure who bought you a gift, post a few pictures of yourself using the item on social media. Say how excited you are to have received it and ask who got it for you. Showing your appreciation and spoiling the fans that spoil you will help you get more items off of your wishlist.

Conclusion: Setup A Wishlist Today!

If you’re a cam girl and you do not have a wishlist, then you’re definitely losing out on tons of free goodies and money. There are fans who will buy purses, heels, super expensive things, even diamonds. Take advantage of this and get what you want, don’t be shy at all!

Over the years I’ve made it very clear that most models are willing to help each other out. That’s the beauty of working in this industry. So many girls are open to giving tips, feedback, pointers, and just all-around great advice. That’s basically how I learned everything that I know along with some of the trial-by-fire approaches that I took. There is one cam platform though that seems to have always gone above and beyond for models. Additionally, the girls camming on this site have been more helpful than just about anywhere. I’m talking about Camsoda. Today I’m here to share with you a list of all the pornstars on Camsoda and why you might consider reaching out to a few of them for advice.

List Of Pornstars On Camsoda.com

Now, if you’re looking for reasons to hit up some of these girls just like you’ve hit me up, then I can give you a thousand, but I won’t. Instead, I will share some of the main reasons why models on Camsoda are just more knowledgeable than those using other platforms.

They have a great support system. If you’re a model looking to win, the Camsoda team is there to support you. I think that initial help is a feel-good that cannot be replaced. This makes many if not all of the models want to help others.

They provide tools to succeed. When it comes to technology and tools for making money, this platform takes the cake. This is probably the main driving factor as to why models stream here and not elsewhere.

They stay up with social media and trends. What I like about Cam Soda is that they keep you up to date with trends and what’s happening on social media. If you’re a model, then this is definitely important. Not only does it help you understand what to talk about, but it also helps you cash in on some of the hottest trends that models may miss the boat on if they’re not connected socially.

Last but not least, here is my list of pornstars and popular models on Camsoda who are worth reaching out to for advice.

See Also: My Tips For Making Money On The Camsoda Platform

As cam girls, we all know how important it is to predict our content. It’s disheartening how so many people try and take advantage of our content. They believe that it’s okay to upload and share our shows and that couldn’t be further from the truth. Do you know who’s responsible for this? For the most part, it’s those tube sites out there!

Tubes you say? Yes, the free tube sites are 100% responsible for this.

I’ve done quite a bit of homework and my experience over the years has made it quite easy for me to sniff our tubes that you need to watch out for. That’s exactly what I’m sharing with you today. While you likely cannot eliminate pirated content entirely, you can try and fight it by focusing on things and taking an 80/20 rule approach.

Some tubes are known for being what I refer to as “pirate punks” and I’m officially calling them out here today. Here’s who you need to worry most about when it comes to stolen cam show content.

Tube Sites To Check For Your Stolen Content

Again, this is not the full list, but just those that I would focus my efforts on removing the content. I came up with this list based on a couple of things.

The first was popularity, the second was traffic, the third was stolen content and the fourth was the ability to profit from the site.

But before I get into that let me explain why people steal your content. This is really simple, they’re looking to earn a profit via serving ads. The more content they have on their site, the more likely users are to surf the website.

So, they’re sacrificing you and your earnings for their own. Now that we know what and why they are doing this, here’s what you need to be on the lookout for.

Pornhub

What should you worry about with Pornhub? Well, to be quite honest, Pornhub.com has been known for allowing pirated content to exist on their site for years.

They recently got in big trouble with Visa and Mastercard for allowing content that might be deemed as illegal. That said, you’re going to want to keep a close eye on this company and the content that they publish.

Spankbang

The Spankbang.com website is full of illegal content. I’m talking thousands of videos. You will want to check this tube site daily if you can.

This will definitely be a site you want to keep your eye on. Trust me, they can let things slip through the cracks at times.

XVideos

This is probably the biggest porn tube site on the web. It’s literally ranked #5 or something like that in terms of traffic overall on the Internet.

That might not mean much to you, but trust me, they are massive. Now, being massive might mean you can get in front of a lot of consumers, but pirates and uploaders looking to profit on your content is all over the place here. Keep a close eye on things.

Beeg

The person that runs Beeg.com doesn’t typically post cam girl content, but at times it does show up here. Knowing that they’ve broken the rules from time to time gives me enough reason to want to check them out for my content. You should do the same as well.

PornTrex

Okay, so nothing good comes out of having your content on Porntrex. In fact, once it’s on the site, it can be a real bitch to get anything down.

They are pirates through and through. You will have a hell of a time removing content because of the location. Nevertheless, you should know about it and be on the lookout for things.

Motherless

The Motherless tube site has been called out by many companies for hosting pirated content. Keep a close eye on this site and if you find any content of yours you can report it to them as well as Google.

How To Check For Your Content

So, there are a few ways to check for your content on these sites. You can start by going to each site and typing your name into the search bars of the site. Any content that exists that deliberately displays you and your content will pop up right away.

Another way you can check is using search engines by doing the following search:

“site:domain.com your name”

For example, searching pornhub for Viking Barbie, a famous Instagram model, will look like this. It’s a rinse and repeat approach per site to find the content that’s yours.

Conclusion: Keep An Eye On Tube Sites

If you value your content and the way you earn a living, then you should take this seriously. I’ve sent DMCAs to all the tube sites listed above, and most of the time that’s all that is needed. Good luck and don’t hesitate to reach out for more info. If you come across a tube site I missed, please send me the name to look into it!

There’s a misconception that models in general need to be perfect or flawless looking. This couldn’t be further from the truth. However, it is important that you have the right look for your shows. Today, I’ll be covering what I believe to be the most important things to consider with regards to looks for your cam shows. ​

Don’t get nervous or scared, trust me, you can do this no matter what you look like. Sure, looks do matter, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder…right?!

Getting The Right Model Look: Easy Tips For Cam Girls

When you think of a model, you probably picture women who are tall, thin, with long flowing hair, perfect skin, perfect teeth, perfect everything! The good thing about being a cam model is that you don’t have to live up to those impossible standards in order to be successful. Trust me, I am not super tall nor do I look like a runway model.

Cam models come in all shapes, sizes, and styles. No matter what you look like, there will be plenty of guys who are into you. But with that said, your appearance is still an important part of your job. If you feel confident, it’ll show through in your cam shows. You’ll be much more successful if you feel good about yourself.

Be Comfortable

You should always do whatever makes you feel comfortable. If you like to grow out your pubic hair, then grow it out. Don’t let a fuckboy or a troll come into your room and pressure you to shave it. Whatever makes you feel the best about yourself, is exactly what you should do. It is important to look put together.

Brush and style your hair before getting on cam. There may be a day here and there where you don’t have the time to make your look complete, but the majority of the time you should look neat. Your fans don’t want to see you looking like a hot mess. 😛

Makeup Makes Things Better

Camming makeup is different than everyday makeup. It can be much more fun! You don’t want to overdo it, but you really can play around with bold looks on cam and still not look ridiculous.

If it’s your first time on cam or if you want to experiment with a look, put your makeup on while watching yourself on cam.

Don’t actually stream your cam, but just have it run on your computer so you can see what different looks will look like. You’ll often find that you look different on cam then you do in real life.

Makeup that might make you look like a cheap hooker (more covered in the Q&A page on that topic), could look really pretty, bold, and interesting on cam.

Try Things But Do What Works

You’re of course free to change up your look at any time, but most models will find a look that works for them and stick to it.

You might throw some of your fans off if you start camming with black hair, thick black eyeliner, dark red lipstick, and pale skin and then show up on cam the next day with bleach blonde hair and a spray tan.

You have to remember that your fans first started watching you because they liked your look. When they’re browsing through models, that’s the first thing that they notice… your look, not your personality.

Your great personality is of course what makes them stick around, but they were originally drawn to you because they liked your style.

Body Maintenance

Maintaining your body hair is also important. Although some cam models choose to skip shaving and grow everything out, most at least keep their legs and underarms smooth.

It can definitely feel like a chore sometimes, but it’s something you really should maintain. It’s completely up to you which method of hair removal you choose: shaving, waxing, or laser hair removal.

All have their pros and cons. Shaving can be tedious and you may end up with irritated skin or red bumps from ingrown hairs. Waxing can be painful and may also irritate your skin, making it look red or blotchy.

Laser hair removal can also be painful if you have sensitive skin. The treatments can also add up, and sometimes not work for your hair type. Find a method that works for you and take your time with it so you don’t end up irritating your skin.

Conclusion: Get The Look, Then Get Paid More

If you’re looking to get paid and get these cam whales off, then you need to get the look down. Use these tips that I’ve provided above and trust me, you will earn big money. Take your look, style, and physical appearance seriously and you’ll for sure prosper as a model.

Pro tip: Add the makeup to your Amazon Wishlist and you can easily get consumers to buy the makeup for you! Probably the best takeaway from this entire article!

As a cam model,  you’ve got a few really important roles and duties. Selling cam shows and getting consumers to consume your content is for sure the most important. However, so many models seem to have a tough time selling. Many of them just don’t know where to sell. In fact, many of them do not know where to start. That ends today! After reading this article, you should be able to confidently sell more private shows, premium media, and even tangible goods. You just need to know where to go. Time to learn…

Where To Sell Your Webcam Content

Before we even get started, I’d like to congratulate you on mastering the art of filming your first clip. In fact, take a second to just take that hand, pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself for being a master of the universe.

Now that the hard part is over of filming and editing your clip, it’s time to answer the million-dollar question.

Where the F*&!$ Do I sell them?

There are going to be a lot of sites that will pop up in your peripherals, and it can be hard to figure out which site to choose. My best advice to you? Try them all out. Worst case, you don’t do well on all the sites, but you find one that works and that you like using.

Best case? You sell a million clips, become an overnight sensation, and can go sailing through Ibiza while collecting your hundreds of thousands in passive income. Now, if you’re not trying to sell media at Camsoda, then you’re failing as a model – simple as that.

They’re Not Equals

Keep in mind while reading this that not all clip sites are created equal. Should I say it again? Not. All. Clip sites. Are. Created. Equal. (Just wanted to make sure that you really understand this before you upload all your clips and wonder why they aren’t selling.)

There will be times where one of your clips is selling phenomenally but another one tanks. It doesn’t mean it’s a bad clip. It just means that sites traffic leans towards one type of style over another.

(Side Note: Please make sure to always read everything including the contracts and the TOS before signing up to any website. It is SO important to protect yourself and your content.)

Selling Clips

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, it’s important to note that you can and should sell your clips while you’re online. I highly recommend this because it’s easy and it’s extra money. If you decide to sell this way, you’re going to need a good hosting site. Right out of the gate, I’m going to let you know that most video hosting sites are not adult-friendly, so always make sure you’re reading the Terms of Service before signing up.

ALWAYS.

A free hosting site for your videos is ProjectMaenad. It is in beta, but works wonderfully and is run by a former cam model. You can create links to send out clips, make them password-protected, limited/number of downloads, and you can also create a public profile page for yourself. It’s easy to use, and support is very helpful and efficient.

At the moment, ProjectMaenad is not able to process payments, so if you use this site make sure you have an alternate payment option available. It’s also important to note that this site does not have its own traffic, so if you’re using it to sell videos you will have to market, market, market.

As far as actual “stores” you can sell your videos in, I’m going to be focusing on the two main sites that are well known, have a great reputation, and have the ability to make you a nice chunk of passive income if you work it right.

The two sites that, in my opinion, are the most well known are: Manyvids.com and Clips4Sale

Manyvids

Let’s start with Manyvids. That’s the site that I use, and I love it. It’s completely free to sign up and is so user-friendly. Literally, all you need to do is go to their site and there will be a button that asks you if you’d like to sign up to be “An MV Girl.” (The answer is YESSS! Do it!)

One of the coolest aspects of ManyVids is that they run a continuous contest for the top 20 MV Girls every month. Basically, if you’re in the top 20 of sales, then you get a bonus. First place takes home $1200! They also run special contests for Valentine’s Day, etc. that are a fun way to get guys voting for you and promote your store at the same time.

Manyvids is definitely more of a social platform than some of the other clip sites that you will run into. In my experience, the more that you interact with the members and the other models, the better you will do. That means such things as; liking profiles, leaving comments, messaging back and forth with the guys. Treat it like social media and start building those bridges, baby.

Skype, Snapchat & Tangibles

Along with uploading and selling videos, you can also sell Skype Shows, Snapchat/KIK, Custom Videos, and create an entire storefront of tangible goods. (Bras, Panties, “pay for my dinner”.. you get the idea.)

The Payout percentage is 60/40, with you taking home the 60%, and they payout twice a month on the 1st and the 16th.

Clips4Sales

Now onto Clips4Sale. I don’t have much personal experience with Clips4sale, so for research purposes as well as keeping my honor in tact while I dish out this advice, I’m going to sign up for the site right now and we can learn together.

It seems, from other model experiences, that this site does extremely well with fetish clips. If you take a look at the studios and what they offer, there is everything from sneezing clips to brushing your hair. (Thank God we all have a reason to keep the camera running now. Sick doesn’t mean NO pay! Holla’!)

Clips4Sale differs from Manyvids, in the fact that it gives you the ability to upload clips in multiple ways which maximizes the number of views that it will receive. You can have a Clip Store, DVD Store, Image Store, and a Membership Site all under the same name. In order to start uploading you will need to have 10 clips, and for images, you will need to have 5 zip files with 20 images minimum in each.

One cool feature is that they have an email list, where you can add customers who would like to be on it and blast them with mass emails. Seems like this would be a great way to get independent shows, custom vids or let them know about upcoming things and generate sales.

The Payout Percentage is 60/40 or 75/25 depending on what type of store it is, and payouts are sent on the 7th of each month for the month prior. Both ManyVids and Clips4Sale have their own traffic, which is a HUGE plus. Add that to the traffic you can bring if you market it correctly across your social media and you’ll be sailing in Ibiza in no time. (Ibiza trip not guaranteed, results may vary.) Are you interested in selling more tangible goods? like panties etc? That’s always a great additional revenue stream.
