Hi all!

Any advice on camming independently of the major sites? I know billing is an issue with trying to go entirely rogue, but there's got to be ways to do it.

Any insight is appreciated :) TIA

There are several sites with adult-friendly payment processing that you can use to accept Skype payments. I use IWantClips, they keep 20%. There is also Manyvids, SkyPrivate, and CamModelDirectory (though this site seems to have a bad rap on this forum so do your research.)

Don't use mainstream payment apps, it's not worth the risk. Just accept that if you want to safely do indie you're going to have to go through a processor that will keep a portion of your payments. There used to be a few sites that only kept 15% but they don't exist anymore. 20% seems to be the norm now.

Here's some relevant threads:

Thank you for this! I didn't realize I could accept payment for private Skype shows on MV and IWC. Do you have any pointers for doing this?

Do you have any thoughts on SP? They record your Skype shows, don''t they? Having my shows recorded and shared by the sites is what I'm most trying to avoid here. I know clients can still leak, but I have a little more control over my content this way.

I don't know if SP records the shows but speaking of IWC and MV, you simply ask them to tip. For example if your price is $5/min, they tip $50 for 10 minutes or whatever you wanna charge them. And on both iwc and mv you see the payment right away (on iwc is good to look in your stats when they send, because the email with the tip comes in like 15 minutes if it doesn't have a note attached). And that's it.

Hmm I don't use SP so I'm not sure, but there's a thread here dedicated to it so you could ask. https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?184397-SkyPrivate-New-Payment-Option

As for accepting payments on IWC, you set up a store and then your customer can send you a tribute for the amount your show costs. Obviously get this in advance, not after the show. Two reasons I went with IWC were because they don't have an explicit rule against using tributes for this purpose (Clips4Sale does, not sure about other sites) and because customers don't have to make an account in order to pay. There is a guest checkout option and virtually no spending limitations. There are some sites that set max caps on how much a customer can spend in a given transaction or daily, so these may be things for you to consider when choosing a site.

Personally I only do long Skype shows with a handful of trusted regulars. They pay in advance and if they go over a couple of minutes it's not a big deal to me. I could see why SkyPrivate would be hugely beneficial if you're planning on openly offering Skype to anyone, so they can pay by the minute instead of you having to worry about keeping time/disconnecting the show/etc.

Thank you! Super helpful and informative.

I'd also like to have a business model where I'm doing longer shows with trusted regulars. Did you manage to build that primarily through IWC?

I use IWC for payments but none of the customers were sourced from IWC, if that's what you mean. They are all Streamate regulars. It's against SM's rules to share contact info or bring customers off the site so this only works if they find my Twitter page on their own. (I used to hint at it on SM a bit more heavily but I don't risk it anymore.) I don't openly advertise that I do Skype anywhere; what I have done in the past is post a tweet asking my followers to respond or DM me their cam usernames so I know who's actually following me on Twitter. Then if I see a high spending/regular customer I will reach out to them via private message and offer Skype. I let them know it's a special privilege with discounted rates and tell them not to mention it ever on cam or on public Twitter. There's only been one time where someone messaged me about doing Skype and I accepted, and it was only because I knew who they were already from cam and I thought they'd be chill. But they had only done one recent show with me on SM, and when it came time to pay for Skype they got all pissy about using IWC and tried to push using Venmo or Cashapp, which I am very clear about not using. So yeah, it's only regulars for me because it's otherwise not worth the hassle.

Do any dommes have advice about how to get custies to tell you what kind of show they want? I am so tired of guys in my chat saying they want to be my sub/they want a domme show, and then when I try to ask them what they like, they just say "I'll do whatever you want". I try to ask them what their special talents are, what they would do to serve me, etc, but they give me no specifics. When I ask them about limits, they say they have none.

Often this results in a 1-2 minute show because I'm not doing what they expected, and they leave. I can't mind read and I'm tired of playing 20 questions trying to figure out what their kinks are. Is there a better way to get them to talk, or are these kinds of guys just inevitable?

I usually try asking twice: once when I ask them what they're looking for, another time asking for specific fetishes or limits. If they still say "I'll do whatever you want", there's a 99% chance that they're new to domination and have no idea what they want, in which case I start off with dominant JOI, maybe some teasing and light body worship, and feel them out. Basically treat them like scared little lambs and ease them into some light submission that doesn't freak them out too fast. Not too much pain, degradation, or anything they could perceive as "gay" at the start--then if they seem like you could push them farther, sloooooowly start testing things out as they get hornier. Toward the end of a session many of these guys end up tasting their precum, one finger in the ass, begging to cum, etc, but some of them really just want a hot girl to tell them exactly how to jerk off and that's all they end up doing.

The other 1% are absolute freaks with the biggest CBT/lingerie/dildo collection you've ever seen in your life, and don't seem to realize that they make themselves sound like timewasting newbies because they actually do know what "whatever you want" is likely to entail and that's exactly what they want. Those guys are always a pleasant surprise!

Lmao this is my life 99% of the time, as a domme, I learned that most of them are simply idiots who don't know what they actually want or they aren't willing to spend.
When they say "I do whatever you want" it translates to me as "I do whatever you want if it's what I am hoping to hear" so basically, your mind should be like "oh, you wanna jerk off to the IDEA of being a sub", so you do the most basic shit... like Procrasturbator said, you start with JOI and a dirty talk, maybe a light slap on their ass (which they usually fake and maaan, they suck so bad at faking, I can barely control my laugh) and they are pretty much happy with that.

And again, as Procrasturbator said, the "pro" ones are the insane guys who actually do all kind of crazy stuff but those are rare like unicorns. The rest of "I do what you want" are just vanilla guys with a fetish, that wanna jerk off to the idea of being a sub, but not really willing to be. So work with that, tell them a little story about how you'd make them your slave and tie them to the bed lol :))

Edit: Same with sissy guys. Let's say that the percentage of those who are sissies vs those who just dream to be one are like 20%-80%. I see a lot with outfits, makeup, toys, etc. But the rest want to be "feminized" but they ain't got shit, they don't even wanna suck their finger lol. So all you are left to do is to just tell them what a good slut they would be for you, bla bla. Without actually making them do anything, they just wanna hear the story and jerk to it, lol.

Honestly? I am not a fan of true subs. They are fucking demanding, to the point where they confuse real session with camming. I find vanilla men with fetish fantasies to be way more easy to handle, once you learn what they actually want :))) But I am not a BDSM domme either, I am more on the sensual type, so maybe I don't really atract that niche. But when I did, wow... they pay well but they are sooooo tiring!!!

Thank you!! This is super helpful, and nice to know everyone deals with these guys. You'd think with how much porn they watch, they'd figure out what they like, but I guess it's just too hard to think with a hard dick in hand. :P I'll try to go easy on them.

Has anyone on here professionally sound-proofed your room if you own where you live? I want to start camming soon (still planning all I need lol) and I'm a loud person when I work so I don't think a fan or music is gonna do anything for me. If you have, what type of noise would it block, loud sex noise and music? I'm going to have to head to a hotel if this doesn't work unfortunately and the cost for constantly having to check in to a hotel is going to add up. This seems like a better option.

To be quite honest it also sounds like a wonderful addition to have anyways because I have roommates and I miss being loud and treating my house like nobody is here.

I have learned true, real genuine subs & slaves are not demanding but these are very rare in the great sea of 'fantasy' subs. I am not afraid to call the fantasy guys out and have changed wording on my BDSM adverts. I provide simple instructions if they continue to be rude, and 'casual' I refuse to go any further.

That would be mad expensive ..

There's a thread on here, "camming w/roommates" + at least 1 other, also camming from airbnbs, hotels etc. Use a VPN.
Whie noise machine, loud fan, throw rugs are ur friendls for at home w/roomies camming.

Have your phone in case their. hotel wifi sucks, (it usually does)

Good luck!

Honestly this is the majority of "sub" customers are just really demanding. I have one that comes in every day too stare at my feet in private ans worship them, he asks how long I order him to stay and never stays that long. I can tell him that he is required to stay for 5 minutes and he won't.
Also he wants "sub dirty talk" the whole time about licking my feel while I hold them up to the camera.

They are pretty much not worth the money most of the time unless they are the unicorns that most of us only find a couple of over the years.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by Cashapp is USD only, do you mean you only accept USD? I use Cashapp in the UK for £sterling, also bank transfer (but not international unless a large enough amount to be worth it for the sender (banks will reject small international transfers).

I use a Bluetooth speaker -to play music when I stream and run Spotify on my phone.

If I want to watch a Youtube video while I am streaming I listen to it on Bluetooth earbuds- that's only when traffic is dead.

For my models who started their careers as non nude then decided to go semi or fully nude, what led to that decision and how did/do you feel about it ultimately? How long into camming/content creation before you decided to pivot into nudity?

I'd love to know your thoughts and experiences around this matter. I'd also be interested to hear from those who have maintained being non nude in the vanilla niche for a long time (over a year) and how your business looked in the beginning vs now.

I don't think so, I just have to make sure the atenna is near my iphone, right now I only use my iphone to connect to my Lush 3 with streamate.

I think it's bluetooth range is not strong. Hopefully Lovense can improve on it.

I sometimes see people bringing up that they cam on Twitch but I cant seem to find any threads on Twitch and google bascially told me its for gamers. So how are adult models making money on there?

I know a couple people I follow on TikTok make a living on there but they are also gamers but promote when they are on Twitch on Tiktok.

But I mean.... how can we do webcam on there cause I'd be interested..... from what I have seen people make really good money there. I just cant figure out how if you are not a gamer.

I did a skype show for the first time in a while the other day and I'm guessing Skype's interface got an update or something. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to make my screen/video bigger on my end and I hated just being a tiny little box in the corner. (It might be something that's very obvious in the settings but since the show had started I didn't want to take up time troubleshooting.) I'll also note that this customer didn't have his camera or audio on, he was only typing. I don't recall it being an issue the last time I skyped, but that was months ago.

Could someone please explain how to get my video as big as possible on Skype? Thanks :)

Select "show myself in grid" and it will show your cam and theirs side by side (cropped to fit), and if you right click and select show full video it will show your full cam. I've noticed I have to do keep doing the second part though as it reverts to the cropped version. You have to do this for every call unfortunately. If there's a way to make this permanent I'd love to know.

Uhhh, I have the same question, like... when did they get so brown? lmao. I always had darker intimate parts but now it just bothers me, since the rest of my body is really white. Anyway, I have been thinking to do this at a salon, I am also curious about it, if it hurts or something. I'd also wanna get laser hair removal down there and I wonder if the skin could get too sensitive. Questions, questions. Anyone??
