Affiliate Programs - Adult Affiliate Sponsors
Becoming a webcam performer is an easy and simple process that requires completing an online registration so that you have access to your control panel, and then to scan and supply compliance documentation to ensure you are of age and fulfill all legal requirements.
The webcam sex industry, also known as the live sex industry, is relatively new due to the technology requirements and is continuing to grow all the time. Many sponsors offer generous signup bonuses and payouts for time spent online in addition to your earnings from private performances.
If you're just looking for cams to view, please select any one of these hot live cam websites:
livejasmin, mycams, asiancamgirlsex, asians247, liveprivates, joyourself, livesexasian, neoncams, camcontacts, livesexawards, asianbabecams, cams.com and mobile videochat.
Some sponsors will allow performers to recruite new performers and new users/members. That way the live sex performer can become an affiliate and earn a paercentage of the members spend and also get a percentage from their live performances. But make sure you don't recruit directly from your live video chat as that is considered spamming the room and will cause affiliates to complain.
Typically the standard rate charged by a performer is $1.99 per minute. The global recession hasn't affected that although some webcam broadcast centres have begun charging as low as $0.99 per minute. But the good performers are in high demand and members will gladly part with $1.99 per minute to chat to their favorite model in private.
Basic Requirements
A desktop computer or laptop with webcam is the basic requirement.
As a performer you'll do much better if you purchase an HD cam so that visitors to your chatroom view a clear crisp video feed. An HD cam will also provide a quality image feed when your paying member has expanded the live feed to a larger size. Some broadcasts are capable of expanding to full screen and a low definition webcam would look chunky and disappointing to your customer. If you can, invest in HD cam to provide the best quality for your viewers.
To be reading this you must have access to internet. A broadband internet connection is a required specification. Dialup connections are far too slow for live video chat.
To take advantage of several broadcast centers at once you may want to grab video splitting software. This software is installed on your computer and will send your video feed to several broadcast centers so that you could be chatting on multiple websites at the same time. This will increase your chance of getting a sale.
If you do use cam splitters, bear in mind that the performance of your video feed will decrease with each additional broadcast, mainly due to the bandwidth now being shared.
To include sound in your broadcast you'll need an internet microphone. Many quality webcams have this included, as do the video cameras that some performers prefer to use (e.g. Sony Handycam).
A private room where you can perform is also desirable. Setup a daily schedule and stick to it as best you can. A member that has found you at a particular time is likely to return again at the same time. Most members will buy private time with you at a later visit and only occassionally on their first visit. So a regular time to perform is a good idea.
Follow these steps
- Signup for a performer account (or studio account if you are already in the business with performers available).
Make sure to print the terms so you have a reference when required. There are things you must not do in the public sections of each site or risk being banned and losing any earnings. - Gather all the compliance documentation requested after signup - birth certificates, bank details for payment, etc.
Fax these documents or email to your account manager. You could also post these but your registration is incomplete until the documents are received. - If you don't have the hardware, you'll need to either purchase it or borrow it. Setup your computer and internet connection so that it is easily accessible in the private room where you intend to perform.
- Make the room look attractive and sexy. The background enhances the user experience.
- If you don't have any sex toys, now would be a good time to get some. Of course, that may not be enitirely necessary but you wouldn't want to lose a sale just because the member expected toys and there wasn't any to satisfy their desire. Some performers go hard and use things like bottles, and even baseball bats. Nobody expects you to go that far and it is entirely up to you as to what your performance will involve and how hard-core it gets.
- Wear your sexiest lingerie that reflects your online persona. Many webcam performers have an online persona that they adopt or act out when online. Those with character and personality tend to do best in this industry. It is very much an acting job, and one that you can be handsomely rewarded for.
- Login to your performer account and begin flirting with members as they enter your online chatroom. And when they take you private, most of all have fun!
- When you have spare time, add content to your performer profile page within your performer members area. That makes your site searchable and provides a little information where visitors can get to know you. There is another big advantage to this. The broadcast center that you signed up with runs an affiliate program that pays a commission to webmasters for sending traffic to their sites. That's traffic to the site where you are publishing your live feed. Now, those affiliates use data that is sourced from your performer profile to construct pages about you as a webcam performer. That essentially drives traffic directly to you! So make sure you update your profile on every site. Add some images. Become part of the network and before long, you could be one of the big performers earning thousands per week.
