I noticed that Kink live is now offering women a 60% payout for their live webcamming site, and you can do it from home, rather than the Armory, as before. Anyone have any experience with this that they'd like to share?

I've noticed this too. I'd really love to hear more about this from models working there now.




Right. I know that some models didn't like their old system of offering a flat rate per hour (and working only at the Armory in SF), but now it's commission-based. I looked at the site, and only 2 models were on, but one was in private. I applied today, will check it out.





They used to offer $15/hour plus tips and you had to work in-house and not from home. So this is an improvement. I knew girls who worked there who really liked it, but they were mostly the nomadic hippy types that didn't know anything at all about camming, let alone that you can do it on your own from home. I don't think they have much webcam traffic at all. If they came out with a new campaign, they would.
If doing it for promotion, you're better off just doing a few shoots for them. They even have solo stuff like sybian.




^Pretty sure I'm too old.![]()





I would just try anyway. I bet they will add a few milf categories in the future. They did that with femdom, which was a smart move IMO. Kink really needs to add milf, cuckolding, and giantess (and smothering) as separate categories to shoot for IMO. I bet they will.





I signed up as well. I dont see how they cant have traffic when there network of sites is so huge. I've also shot with them and they are great to work with.
I've signed up recently too, but can't find my dashboard in order to begin the broadcast and update my show info.....any help would be awesome![]()
Do they accept if i do shooting and then i send them photos or u must go there? For me its not worth it cuz im from different country, only if i can do shooting and sell it to them lol
I checked earlier and the site looks really dead.
I have an account on there. I love it actually, the 60% pay out is AMAZING. And the customers are nice and polite. I've only cammed on there a couple times so I haven't been able to track good times to log on and such, but I do love it so far. Also, the model support is the best.




I've had KinkLive in the back of my mind for a while, but since they are having the "lock in you rates" thing, it seems like this is a good time to sign up. I was wondering if any of the ladies that work there had any new info to contribute (Staples, I know you've mentioned Kink in other threads recently, but all I remember is that you're liking it). A couple things I was wondering about specifically:
~ How kinky is it over there? I know that you can set your limits however you want, but I'd like to know more about the clientele and what they might expect.
I'm a switch IRL, but my Domme experience has all been on cam and mostly lighter stuff (sph, cuck, JOI (which for me usually comes out more like J.O.Encouragement), etc.). Also, I have trouble with being extremely harsh like some subs want.
Sub-wise, I have some equipment, but nothing fancy, and my self-bondage needs work. Would I be okay without many bells and whistles (I don't have electro-gear, suspension stuff, fuck machine, leather/latex clothing, etc.)?
~ Is it conducive to splitting with SM and/or AW? It looks like they have a feature similar to GoldShows, which would be nice because I'd rather do a kinky GS than a vanilla one.
~Do they use the Adobe encoder or similar, or is it more like JCI on AW?
~ From the customer side, is it possible to search, filter, or choose categories of some sort? I didn't sign up, but I didn't see anything like that. Maybe it's still in the works? I do like the interface, though - nice and clean and very touchscreen appropriate.
~ Looks like you can get offline tips (something SM should really do), and you can do couples shows without creating two solo accounts AND a couple's account ("guest star" feature, I think). Any other nice features worth mentioning?
~And the most important question of all time... How's the traffic lately?
Thanks in advance, ladies!![]()

They posted more info here:

I have not broadcast yet because my cam looks distorted no matter what I do. I'm on a Mac but I make that work on my other sites without a problem.
It's too bad, I already have one guy trying to tip me to get started, LOL. Bless his heart.

I cam on there occasionally and they have a lot of tech issues. One of the group shows didn't go private like it should have and everyone could see. I didn't know they were going to add Play Sessions which are like Gold shows. I don't see the point of that on a fetish site. Also many performers do shows in the free chat for super low rates. One of their top girls does a "Pussy Tour" for $20 bucks in free chat. I was hoping for an actual fetish site, but so many customers have no idea what basic fetishes like SPH or Cuckolding is.![]()





It's not super fetish at all. Many customers have zero idea about fetishes on there.
You can split, but they do have Shockwave errors on there so it will bring Streamate down as well. It sucks and I hope they fix it, but it's beta so shit happens.
I don't see that on the customers side. It does however list the rules on the customers side which is nice.
The guest feature will ask you to add a person and it does have to be another performer that's in their system. it does have many nice features.
Traffic is so so. The site is still in Beta and I don't see a lot of marketing yet. I do think once the glitches are fixed and they start really marketing it will be a good site.
I started camming on Kink in January and it is now my main site (shit, only site the way SM has been)!
-It can get pretty kinky, but 75% of the time it's pretty standard kinkiness! Although I do no suggest using the site if you aren't willing to explore a little. The majority of the clients are frustrated with the decline in kinky models. A lot of strictly vanilla models are joining because of the high %. But ultimately they don't make it since the majority of their traffic wants more. Mostly I get requests for collars, gags, spankings on my ass and thighs, cuffed, nipple clamps, etc. (although I have been asked for medical play a lot recently) I am a switch as well, and it's pretty even between subs and doms. Most of the subs just want the basic stuff like humiliation, sph, etc. You will need some equipment: paddle, clamps, collar, rope, cuffs, etc. But nothing too expensive. I started with just a paddle, flogger, collar, and clamps. Then you will be able to feel out your traffic & regs and see what else to get. Most guys are more into the rp of the fetish they like, and will work with what you have if you are personable. (Yesterday I did a Play Session, in my kitchen, oiled up, cuffed and ankles tied, and apple stuck in my mouth for the rp of a slave being cooked and eaten. It was sooo fun and I didn't have to do any fucking to make a TON off that show!)
-I have seen other models split cam so I assume you can. They use the same Adobe Encoder that SM uses.
-The only categories are Women, Men, & TS. They just added this in the last week or so. The site is still in beta and there are a lot of glitches sometimes, but it has gotten loads better since I started just a few months ago. I like the simplicity of the interface too. Although I'm sure its going to continue to change.
-Yes they have some good features. To model as a couple you need to both have an individual account and then whenever you start your show you add them as a guest star. Very simple! But they don't have many other features since they are still in beta. You can PM users and they can PM each other (which they do a lot, its a community feeling) The block feature only mutes the member for 24 hours but they can still watch your show. They do have a break button. The play sessions are awesome!! You can add more time to the countdown if you don't make it to goal by the end (instead of starting all over and losing all the $ already pledged!) or start it anyway. It doesn't kick you out when the timer for the show is over either. I use that as a bonus "if you aren't ready to end keep tipping we can go longer" or as a benefit to pledging "yes the timer is 10 mins but I usually go over until I feel like it." There is also a form for clients and models alike. Many clients have made fan pages (i.e. threads) for their favorite model.
-The traffic is low. It started off as a bdsm porn site and just "got into" camming. (a LOT of the clients will ask you if you are going to shoot for a certain Kink site) You wont have too many paying members in your room at the same time; less than 10. But those who are members are willing to spend for the model they like!!! They are used to paying higher rates. I don't do a cum show for any less that $200 and I have only not hit goal once! Most of the cheapos stay as annonomous users. And the full members are nice! I can sit for hours and chat with them, only do one or two shows/pvts and still bank. I LOVE the crowd there, a LOT less beggars and asshats.
And support is amazing, they pay attention to feedback. I had a glitch were my 3 min private show was seen in public. I messaged them about it and they apologized and put extra $ in my earnings! When the Play Sessions first came out, the way they displayed them was a little funky. (they put: Total Goal for X minutes! And the minimum buy in was way down at the bottom in parenthesis so clients thought they had to pay the full goal) I sent them feedback the first day they it started, and the VERY NEXT DAY they switched it around!! It made me feel sooooo good that they actually listen to model feedback and want to help them make as much as possible. They also have a weekly newsletter for models giving good tips and info on camming as well as bdsm. And they have an article written by a model on each edition. There is also a model resource area! They really care and try to help as much as possible.




Thank you guys! If anyone else has thoughts I'd love to hear them.
I went ahead and signed up. Hopefully they won't leave me pending forever, so I can at least stream a little before 4/2. I think I'm going to have my husband sign up, too. I really dislike couples shows on SM (and they have now deleted our account for inactivity, which is fine by me), but it would be nice to have him "guest star" on Kink for stuff like spankings and tickling and stuff.
That's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Right now I own: rope, flogger, crop, leather paddle thing, clamps, a ton of clothespins, ball gag, leather cuffs, collar, and a neck-to-wrist restraint thing my husband had made for me. Plus, butt plugs! I'll have to look into the medical stuff b/c it really does seem to be popular.
Mmm... yes... Kink has provided some of my favorite fantasy material for a while now. I don't really need tons of people in my room. I just need 1 who is serious and ready to spend, so these sound like my kind of guys.
Good to hear! It's great that they compensated you in addition to apologizing.

I think I will sign my hubby up too. We keep saying we are going to do it, but now we have a 4/2 deadline!
Good luck!
