My Free Cams
My Free Cams was launched in 2003 and is still one of the most happening places for the cam performers across the world.
It is a cam site where you will see the best and hottest cam models who earn thousands of dollars every week.
To become a cam model on My Free Cams, you will have to go through a long procedure.
Firstly, you will have to fill and submit an application form along with your photos and videos.
After that, your application will be screened and if the moderators consider you good enough, they will send a link to your email id that would lead you to create an account. Once you create your account, you will have to fill in more details and attach the necessary documents.
Your account details and documents will be verified and they will offer you a modeling contract. After signing the modeling contract, you can start performing in the cam shows.
Types of shows available on MFC (My Free Cams)
The models of MFC can host live shows and private shows as usual. New performers might offer free live shows but most of the models do not offer free shows.
Private shows offered at a fixed rate (60 tokens per minute) and all the models have to oblige these rates. Apart from that, group shows, gold shows, spy shows, etc. can also be offered if you want to earn more.
However, MFC models usually do not engage in explicit sex and couple shows. Also, a model need not engage in any kind of nudity if she is not comfortable in doing that.
Payment details
The members of MFC have to purchase tokens for tipping the models. They do not have to purchase any kind of premium plan as all the premium services can be bought from the tokens itself.
For every earned token, the model receives 5 cents i.e. $0.05. MFC provides more than 60% of the earnings to the models and keeps the remaining amount as a commission.
The payment is processed twice in a month (usually on the 1st and 16th of each month). They are very punctual when it comes to paying the models. The models just have to enter their account details and the money will be transferred in their account directly.
Models can also request an early payout and they can also modify their payment information if they do not want to receive the payment in the previous account.
Models can also contact the ‘Model Support’ team if they are facing any issues related to disbursement.

Verdict
My Free Cams is a great webcam portal for amateur models who want to develop their skills. However, the application process is a bit lengthy and strict. Moreover, you will always have to be at the top of your game if you wish to surpass other performers and earn well.
Chaturbate
Chaturbate is probably the best site for amateur models who want to earn while improving their skills.
It allows men, women, transgender, and even couples to perform in the shows.
Not only that, but it also has a huge viewership and millions of people use it as an alternative to porn.
Therefore, it is always overcrowded with people who want to get rid of their sexual tension by watching someone naked on the cam.
Chaturbate is perfect for the cam models who do not mind getting naked and performing dirty moves in front of the camera.
It allows the models to set the rates of the private chats.
Entry in the live shows is free but the models can set a tip menu for performing their preferred moves like stripteases, flashing tits, twerking, etc. Therefore, plenty of earning can be done from live shows as well.
The rates for private shows can be set between 6 and 150 tokens per minute. Apart from the shows, the models can also earn by creating their fan clubs.
The members can subscribe to a fan club by paying some tokens and after that, they get access to all the sexy pictures and videos uploaded by the performers. Members who are not interested in subscribing to fan clubs can purchase the videos and pictures individually.
As a result, models can keep earning a good amount of money every week. The recruitment procedure of Chaturbate is also very ordered and can be completed in a couple of steps.
Initially, the models have to fill up a form and they will be asked to provide documents and other details after verification. Once the documents are verified, the model can create an account and start performing after entering the payment details and making the necessary settings.
Almost anyone can become a model on Chaturbate if their age is above 18 and they can produce valid documents. Moreover, models of any race, ethnicity, country, sexual orientation, and body type can apply as a model on this site.
Payment system
Chaturbate pays the models on a bi-weekly basis. This means that the models can withdraw their earnings every two weeks. For that, they will have to check the earning statistics present in the 'Account' section of their profile.
After that, they can request for payout and the money gets credited promptly to their bank account. This site is very consistent with their payments and therefore, models from around the globe prefer it for streaming themselves.
Members can purchase a premium plan to access some special features like private messaging and an ad-free experience. They will also get some bonus tokens after subscribing to a premium plan which can be used to tip the models.
However, members can directly buy the tokens in bulk for accessing all the premium features of the site. The number of tokens earned by a model determines his/her earnings. Each token will add 5 cents in their earnings and the rest of the amount is kept by the site as a commission.

Verdict
If you have little experience as a cam model then Chaturbate can prove to be a dream site for you. However, do not expect to earn more than $10k per week even if thousands of members watch your show every day.
Also, you can perform with your partner by signing-up as a couple. Couple performers receive more attention than the others as they are allowed to perform live sex and kinky shows in front of the camera.
As a result, models who perform as a couple end up earning way more than the models who perform solo action in their shows.
ManyVids
ManyVids is one of the most profitable places for webcam models who are looking for jobs. It allows both solo and couple performers to stream live and private shows.
Not only that, but the models can also sell their private pictures and videos on this site.
Apart from that, they can even record their live shows and private shows for selling it as an adult video from their profile.
The adult content can be locked and to watch them, the members will have to pay tokens.
ManyVids also offers the cam-splitting feature through which the models can stream their live shows on multiple platforms.
This enables them to earn more through their live shows.
For streaming live shows, the performers need to create an account first. After that, they will have to upload a profile photo, a minimum of three videos, and at least five pictures in their profile.
After uploading them, the site will provide a newcomer badge to the models and they will also be given access to MV Live for camming purposes.
Models can also earn by selling their lingerie and other merchandise.
The payment system in ManyVids
ManyVids provide 6 cents i.e. $0.06 per token to the performers. It gives away 60 to 75 percent of the earnings to the performers and keeps the remaining amount as a commission fee.
The models can set a token menu in their profile for their live shows. Only the members who have a minimum of 200 tokens in their wallet can participate in the private shows.
The private shows are charged at 60 tokens per minute for all the models. The payouts are made twice a month. The first payout is done on the 1st of every month and the second payout is done on the 16th of every month.
The payment is calculated by considering the tokens earned by the models through their live shows, private shows, and by selling their private videos, photos, and merchandise.

LiveJasmin

Payment system of LiveJasmin
LiveJasmin has adopted a bi-weekly payment system to transfer the earnings of the models. However, the percentage of earnings transferred to the models depends on their popularity.
There are six levels of popularity. The lowest level is ‘Aspiring’ and this covers all the models who are earning below $100 per payment cycle. These models receive 30% of their total earnings and the rest of the amount is charged as a commission.
The models who earn between $100 to $300 per payment cycle are listed in the ‘Accomplished’ level and they earn 35% of their total earnings and the remaining amount is charged as a commission fee.

Verdict
LiveJasmin is a great site that provides lots of earning options and opportunities to the models. However, it can charge less commission from the models who do not earn that much.
Also, models have to face a healthy competition to survive here and therefore, their skills get enhanced with time. We would recommend this site to those models who have some prior experience.
Skype
If you are not interested in joining any cam site for modeling then you can also use Skype as a modeling platform.
The advantage of using Skype for modeling is that you can keep all the earnings to yourself as you are performing as an individual model.
Moreover, Skype supports high resolution streaming and can be used for providing other services like phone sex, sexting, etc.
You can even sell your nude pictures and hot videos on Skype without any issues.
How to become a model on Skype?
If you are a successful cam model and want to make extra money without paying any commission, then you can promote your Skype Id through the platforms on which you have a huge following.
You can also promote your Skype Id through social media sites like Instagram, Snapchat, etc. However, if you are not an established cam model and have just started camming, then you can take the help of the listing sites that advertise your Skype Id by charging a small monthly fee.
Sites like SkyPrivate, CamLust, etc. are ideal platforms that offer up to 85% of the earnings to the models. You can also use these listing sites because it helps your fans to pre-book your shows.
Moreover, you will be able to create a detailed profile on these sites where you can specify all the services and things that you can include in your performance.
For example, if you are not comfortable doing anal sex shows or BDSM shows then you can mention that clearly in your profile. Moreover, you can also list the amount that you charge for your different shows and services.
A good thing about using these sites is that you do not have to worry about the payment. However, if you are planning to go perform shows without any assistance then we would recommend you to ask the payment in advance from your clients.
This is because there is no assurance of payment once you have performed in the shows. You can also charge extra if a client asks you to do something which is not listed in your services.
Most of the models who perform in Skype work on a per-minute basis and offer discounts for members who book longer shows with them.
Also, you can either sell your pre-recorded videos or can offer to make custom videos as per the request of the clients. You can demand extra money if the client asks you to do something which is not included in your expertise.
Advantages of using Skype for modeling
How much do they earn?
Skype models who are new in the adult modeling industry charge anywhere from $1 per minute to $3 per minute. Professional Skype models charge much higher and their charges can be anywhere between $5 and $10 per minute.
Sites that list Skype Ids of models only charge 15 to 25% of their earnings as a commission. However, no commission needs to be paid if you are operating as an independent Skype model.
We advise you not to accept payments through PayPal, Google Wallet, etc. as they do not allow payments for adult services. There have been many cases in the past where the models have been fooled by the clients by using these modes for payment.
They can do this because cam models cannot claim money for selling adult services. As a result, the customers can claim a refund even after paying by saying that they have not received the service.
These platforms do not penalize or block the accounts of their customers but the account of the cam model can be permanently blocked for offering sexual services on the internet.
Therefore, we recommend you to be careful about such scammers.
The earnings of the Skype models depend completely on their charges and the time they dedicate to it. Cam performers who work as a part-time model on Skype earn up to $2000 to $4000 per week whereas full-time models can earn up to $7000 per week.
However, for earning such kind of money you will have to promote your services ferociously and your skills also play a major role in your final earnings.
We would recommend you to be consistent with your timings and you will have to adopt a friendly way of communicating with your clients if you want to become a top Skype model.
Verdict
Skype is not an ideal platform for amateurs who get easily disheartened after a couple of bad experiences. However, it is a nice platform if you want to experience your camming potential without registering on any cam site.
Professional cam models can use it to enhance their earnings whereas they can also use it to promote and provide adult services.
Snapchat
Snapchat is also a cool app for those models who do not want to register on any cam site. Snapchat accounts can be created on mobile and you can earn through this platform without indulging in live shows.
This is possible because you can sell your premium Snapchat accounts through listing sites or social media platforms.
For accessing posts and premium content, people will have to pay a subscription fee.
Also, it is beneficial because the posted items get removed after some time and your fans will always be waiting for your next update.
Therefore, you can maintain the interest level of your fans and they will be tempted to continue their monthly subscription.
Many models sell their premium content like videos and nudes through Snapchat. Moreover, models can also host live shows using this platform. It is a good way of earning because this app will never ask any commission from you.
Apart from these platforms, you can also use OnlyFans, Sitedaddy, and other portals that provide a major part of the earnings to the models.
Final Verdict
These were some of the best platforms that you can choose to earn money through webcam modeling. However, these are not the only platforms that are available on the internet.
We request you to do some research on your own and you can also read the online reviews posted by models about the aforementioned cam sites and social media platforms.
