What decides how much you make
- Your hours. Being on at the same times builds regulars, and regulars are most of your tips. See the best times to cam, site by site.
- Your site. Each site has a different audience and rush hour. How to choose your first cam site walks you through it.
- Your menu. A clear tip menu with prices makes tipping easy. Build one with our tip menu builder.
- Private shows. They add up fast on top of public tips, at the per-minute price you set.
- Time. Almost nobody starts near the top. Most models grow month by month.
Before you count your money
- Tax: in most countries you're self-employed, so set aside part of every payout.
- Costs: gear, internet, toys and outfits come out of your earnings. Our setup checklist keeps them low.
- Privacy: plan it before your first show, not after. Start with our privacy and safety guide.
