There are many cam sites to offer your live shows. How do you choose the right platform? Here are the questions to ask yourself.
The importance of the platform
By offering your shows on a platform, you will benefit from its traffic. It is therefore important that it is known but also that it is serious. Indeed, you will be paid by the platform so beware of scams. You also need to be able to offer different products and ensure that the platform is easy to use. In short, you should take your time in determining the right camming platform.
Don’t be fooled: the bigger ones
If you want to be sure of your choice, look on the side of the most famous platforms: Cam4 with a large French community, Chaturbate, very well known but with strong competition, Xlovecam with models in many countries or Livejasmin.
Big traffic
The first criterion that will make a difference for the selection of your camming platform is traffic, of course. The more people on the platform, the more chances you have for viewers to come to your room, thus the more chances you have to make money. Being able to rely on a “live” platform to have fans is a real plus, but that does not mean you do not have to advertise on social networks like Twitter or Snapchat, for example. Also beware, the bigger a site (the more traffic it has) the more models it will attract, so competition will be tough on some very popular platforms.
Payment Terms
As far as pricing conditions are concerned, platforms tend to match 50% of your earnings (yes platforms take part of your earnings to pay for themselves and pay all their operating costs). Then, the payment terms can vary, it is thus necessary to study the terms and conditions of each platform to know the delays of payment, the types of payment available but also the way that they treat the debits of debits.
Products available
In addition to public and private shows, camming platforms can generate revenue in different ways: by selling videos, merchandising or subscriptions to the model’s fanclub. Learn about these additional products and see what best fits your expectations.
Competition / level of competition
The world of camming, sold as an easy way to make money, attracts a lot of people. The competition is often tough on the platforms. Also, in all cases, it is advisable to find an element of differentiation to avoid having too much direct competition. This is an important part of marketing yourself: find a niche or a way to differentiate yourself.. a particular tone, a disguise, preferences … you have the choice. In any case it is essential to create a character.
Make yourself known on the platform
Some camming sites offer many possibilities to put you forward. Because, as we have just seen, the competition is tough on these sites so a little help is welcome. Look at how you have the possibility to have your profile highlighted on the platform: what are the criteria to appear in the various profile selections, are there blogs on which we can offer interviews or simply speaking of you. Are there social networks on which you put forward? Is there the possibility of tweeting automatically on your account when you are in a show …? This marketing aspect is not insignificant because it will make you known and win more fans.
Awards and nominations
There are many awards in the world of live shows. See if the platform has received awards or has been nominated for certain awards, this testifies to the quality and seriousness of the platform.
And the technique too
Check the technical compatibility between your computer and the platform… Beware of Macs mainly… It is better to make sure before registering.
Once you have checked all this, you will be able to make a choice among the different platforms of live shows. You do not have to choose one. Compare the platforms by testing them. Multiplying the sources of income. All you have to do is get started and focus on your shows. Everything else is managed by the platform.
