I had never heard about this until i logged on the other day...i understand how it works but how much can you make from it? Enough to live off or is it just extra money to you? So curious!

Depends on ALOT of factors.
1) what company, and how high can you charge for certain (legal) acts
2) how many hours are you willing to dedicate sitting in front of a cam.
3) are you very very open with you sexually, i.e do anal or DP.
4) cater to a FETISH clientel....MOre money there, but watch the laws.
Just so much to list. However you want to be able to charge MORE money for say...Double penetration acts. As to charging a smaller amount for a person who just wants you to rub you're tits.
Really the more hours and well known you become helps alot. But you still need to stand out more these days it seems. When i do cam, which is not often anymore (i was recorded) i go to a "paid" group only room.
Good luck,
Pamela
I am still confused as to how you get started though. do you just join a current webcam site and be paid what they want to pay you or can you start by yourself, controlling how much money you make??
I always wondered how you prevent them from recording you? I guess its not possible 100%.
Pamela, how did you find out that they recorded you? I did webcam work once and it's always been in the back of my mind, that someone could have one of those movies... ugh!!!
You can't hun. I found out by my ex taking me into a private show. I did not know he knew what site i was doing cam on. When i went to see him that night after a few hours of cam, he asked me what i did earlier, well alot is all i said, and that was true. He then showed me his tiny Sony camcorder and played the private session we went to. The recording was very clear.Quote:

It sucks i know, but they are doing it. It really pisses me off, because i do phone sex as well, and if i hear beeps (it often sounds like his cordless phone is going dead) i hang up. They build up a stash, and just play the same stuff over again instead of paying for you.
I don't speak about all guys, but yes it's do-able.

At this point in the cam world, join a cam site that pays out well, lots of traffic, and run under them.Quote:

Seriously if you want to start you're own cam site contact Melonie on this site, she can break down the rules and laws pretty much for you, as they have changed.Quote:

Or you have a choice of you can pick members only (meaning they have $$$ for a show) or go into free chat and get known. Members will hit free too, to chaeck you out....But you get alot of wankers that way.
Also if you like a more controlled environment with lots of admin. bumping off cc fraud check out they are nice, and watch over the customer behaviour very well.

thanks pamela you're so helpful!! I think girl time seems the best so I might go with them they seem a pretty safe bet. thanks so much for your help!xx
the thing is as long as people give it away for free in chatrooms youll never make good money doing webchats. Its best to start a website and put pics and video there as well as do chats, which is what Im working on now myself.
thats what id love to make too but am pretty clueless on where to start. any ideas??
Ive just been shooting content so far. I have some friends who are in web development programs in school so Ill have them help me. Doing it myself means I only have to pay the people that work for me and the credit card processor. and bandwidth provider etc.
For webcamming it is very lucrative
Each site has a certain cycle if your working on a commercial website like camgirlslive, spread4u, streamate or ifriends.
my bigger web pay check in a 2 week period from camgirlslive would 2,000.00 working 4 to 8 hours a day for a period of 2 weeks, when not many camgirls where on the site. now I am making 1,500 in a 2 weeks period
Webcamm is good for extra cash, you can make a full time living out of it but you need to handle the times when you feel like your going to burn out. those times are to get back into a routine.
