As someone already stated, it's nice for promotion/exposure, but if you're looking to make $$$, it isn't going to help you. Keep in mind, that some of these sites basically have contracts that end up owning your soul.
Last I looked into, you had to PAY most photographers to shoot you for sites like SG because SG owns the rights to EVERY photo the photographer takes during the shoot. (Yes, even the pic where you BLINKED, the photo blurred,...EVERYTHING!) And that's the only way most photogs will work on SG shoots is if you PAY them upfront. Others might be willing to wait for the $$$, but you don't get ANYTHING if they don't accept the photos, and SG STILL keep all the rights to them. (I've known a lot of photogs that WILL NOT shoot with ANY girl affiliated with SG after a lot of the lawsuits that stemmed from the LP lawsuit.)
To top it off, you STILL have to maintain a presence on their site, chat up members, etc.
When you get down to it, you could easily work on a regular cam site and sell content through numerous others (Zivity is basically a content sale site) and make WAAAYYY more money than SG.
SG=Maybe $500 (if you're lucky) & exposure (probably the kind you don't want)
Indy=$500+ potential (depends on how hard you work) & whatever exposure you work for
