Is being a cam model count as making money online?

Absolutely. If you made money online, you've made money online. It's as simple as that. I've done some work as a cam model as well and you can make some good money doing that! Don't get discouraged. Keep learning about CPA too, just try a variety of things and find what you like best.

Online is online. You're rockin' it man!

Depending on the site you are working for, there is not much that's "softporn" about it. It's pretty explicit, in my experience. Think sites like myfreecams.com, which is one I've worked with.

I'll let you use your imagination when it comes to the details.

It's quite lucrative, but involves more work and creativity than most people seem to realize. Might be thinking that it's easy to be a stripper, cam model or some other type of adult themed entertainer. It's not. Try asking yourself honestly, "how many sexual things are possible to do on camera by yourself in a single room?" Might seem like a long list, until you are trying to make money as a cam model by working for several hours a day...you run out of ideas pretty quickly, believe it or not. Requires you to use your imagination and keep things fresh and exciting.

cam model on chat rooms ? i think you have more success as girl, rather than men..

If shaking your ass online is bring in the dough, then as far as I'm concerned your still (quite literally in-fact) making money online. I would even argue that, stripping, or doing any particularly explicit thing via a web-cam and making money is far safer than the alternatives.

That said, I promote cam sponsors on my network of adult content sites. Most pay outrageous PPS rates and that's just to get the user to sign up! No money spent. Of course there are rev-share codes as well if you wish to promote that way.

If your interested in CPA, and are actively creating cam content, why don't you see if you can promote the site you are performing for? I would check to make sure that is allowed of course--as you'd potentially be making a commission on sales your already being paid for.

Just my two cents...

Very profitable niche!! Good decision and congrats. It definitely counts as making money online.

Any profit derived from the internet would classify as 'making money online' - heck, if someone paid you to read emails then you could accurately say that you have been making money via the internet.

As they say, sex sells, and this is as close to sex as it (virtually) gets. I'm sure the market is much larger as a female entertainer, but I'm sure you're catering to a desperate market

Yes being a cam model counts as making money online.

I don't understand why someone would pay for this when they have all the soft/hard porn they could ever need right at their finger tips for free.

If I was ever going to do something like this, I would probably go the porn route. Well no I wouldn't... you need like a 10 inch XXXX for that.

You know what let me just get out of this thread before I embarass myself... :p

If you had a range of girls willing to be cam models how would you set it up as a business.

Cam modeling is the dirty little secret of many people. It's really the only sure fire way to make immediate money online if you are lacking other resources like special skills or money to implement projects. And I think culture has progressed (or degenerated) to the point where this is acceptable, though still taboo enough to not really talk about it.

I used to mess with it using Yahoo chat and PayPal like 10 years ago. I would charge a flat rate $30 per show and do as many as I could in a day. I wish the options that exist today were available to me back then.

I never went "pro" so I can't say what it's like, but it seems to me that Flirt4Free's $6 per minute cost is steep. Maybe they have a high end user base and it works fine. Also check out Cam4, where you set your own token goals such as "1000 shirt, 2000 pants, 3000 nude, 4000......" Each token is worth 1 cent and anyone in the chat can contribute to help meet the goals. Some people also just say "tips appreciated" and do their show. How much you can ask for really depends on how good you look. I know one guy that would drop into chat for an hour before bed and pull in at least $75. Usually it was over $100.

Really crazy that people can just use their body and a webcam to make in one hour what someone less physically gifted spends all day at their job for.

Yes, it does count as making money online. It is far better compared to watching porn on sites. It's not scripted. There are even customers who make a request as to what the model should do in order to please them more. Of course, the more satisfied the customers are, the more business that will come your way. They will become loyal customers. For sure they will keep on coming back to see more.

Being a cam model is like any other online business in that the key to making the big money it is all about developing relationships with your customers. If only somebody would pay to see me naked lol.

You might as well just look for work in the porn industry, or be a stripper. More money that way if you're considering that line of work.

I would imagine you run the risk of them recording your show and posting it across porn sites all over the Internet. If it wasn't for that I'd be happy to do it.

WHAT?!?!? You can make MONEY doing this? And here I've been doing it for free all these years....;-)

Why not make your own cam modelling site? I've thought of this, but haven't done for 2 reasons.

I'm a family man, it feels morally..."icky"

I understand the business model and how it brings boatloads of cash, but the creation of the business seems like it would require copious amounts of hard work and I've heard even the most popular sites only make 150-200k/year at best

But if it's what you know, I'd imagine that's the way to go for you

That's a business, but I have nothing to say regarding that! You need not to do any hard task there, no SEO and still lots of money!
That's a profitable niche and I will surely never go to compete with you.

Good on you mate, and as others have said, definately making money online.

I was promoting flirt4free a few years back, and made a fair few dollars. I recall making $75 a day from one particluar guy who kind of fell in love with one of the cam models. I used to look forward to getting up and seeing how much I'd made via that particular guy.

If he's looking in now....."Thanks mate"

It clearly is as you are using your creativity and imagination to deliver a service to people who have the demand and you make a decent amount out of it. however it would be better if you start your own website. as it will be more profitable. meanwhile if you have interest in any other niche as well then you can work on other skills in the meanwhile.

Yeah you made money online haha. On Chaturbate the girls and some guys are making lots and lots lol! Not for me, but hey if its what you want to do....

Yes, you're making money online

It's not very scalable

Also, you're dependent on a network to send you customers but yes, it is, technically, making money online.

sure but it isn't passive since u gotta trade time for money ,,,

but yet ur making money online.

best of luck,

Anything that makes you money online counts as making money online.
