Finding a job on the Internet for guys without experience or education is difficult. In addition, remote work is not available in all niches. If you are looking for online employment and don’t want to get pennies for typing texts, online consultations in an online store, or for cold calling clients, consider webcam.
You will lose absolutely nothing: if you don’t like it, you can always leave; if you like it, you can make good money. Can a guy become a webcam model? Yes maybe. The main advantage of male adult streaming is low competition. There are very few guys who are web models, especially single ones: they often work in pairs. Therefore, it is easier for them to grow and retain an audience.
In men’s webcam they are already earning $1,000 a month. It is difficult to give average figures: income depends entirely on the individual model, some receive $500 monthly, and others $3,000.
Many viewers come not even for romantic communication, but simply because they want to speak out, discuss their accumulated problems with a stranger. Therefore, you should not think that webcams are only about eroticism and sexualization. Not at all, it’s more about communication and mutual understanding.
In the article below we will talk about the specifics of webcam work for guys and ways to conduct the activity.
How can a guy become a webcam model?
There are several ways to find employment. You can work completely independently or go to a studio. Studios are divided into online and offline companies. Let’s analyze all the listed options in terms of advantages and disadvantages.
Independent work
Consists of purchasing equipment, registering on webcam platforms and reading forums and articles. The main advantage is a net income of 50%, taking into account the commission of services. The main disadvantage is that there is no one to help with promotion on the site; you will have to learn everything yourself by trial and error. In addition, in the current sanctions realities, withdrawing money to cards has become very difficult. Most likely, you will have to additionally deal with cryptocurrency wallets.
Equipment
To become a single model, you need to purchase equipment: a webcam with a resolution of at least 1920×1080 pixels, several light sources, interior decor. The background should look adequate: no wardrobes or sofas from the Soviet Union, everything is clean and tidy.
Since the broadcast resolution is high, you need to check the speed of your Internet connection. To transmit a 1920×1080 image without slowdowns, you need a speed of at least 15 Mbit/sec.
Webcam platforms lower the broadcast ratings of those models whose image transmission is slow or is too fuzzy or blurry. Therefore, the quality of the broadcast is the first thing you should think about.
Registration on platforms
Search for information on the Internet yourself, read reviews, study forums. We suggest starting with the most popular webcam sites for men – Imlive, LiveJasmin, BongaCams. Be sure to read the rules.
To stand out from the male models on Imlive, all you need to do is be well-built and good-looking. On LiveJasmin you will need to try: the number of guys there is much larger, the competition is higher, there is very little erotic content – for some this will be an advantage. Bonga is a place where the majority is trying to get out through erotica, there are about 150 models, a lot of Russian-speaking ones.
Create a working account on each web service and fill it with information. Remember: your account is your business card. Write with the understanding that your target audience will read it. We also recommend ordering a photo session from a professional photographer: working without high-quality photographs will be more difficult.
As an option, you can also order a photo shoot in an erotic style and place photos in paid albums. If the viewer wants to watch them, he will buy access.
Attention! Registration is only possible for adult users. The only way to prove your age is to provide documents: a passport or driver’s license + your photo against their background. If you are under 18 years old, do not try to falsify documents. In case of fraud, the services will simply block you forever.
Communication with viewers and colleagues
As soon as you check your equipment, internet and create accounts, you can start streaming. Analyze the streams of other models, read articles about correct behavior during broadcasts, develop your own style of communication. If you have any questions, the Internet is full of thematic forums where experienced models can help with advice.
For example, during webcam broadcasts, guys can play the guitar, stream video games, talk about something, dance or masturbate, do push-ups or squats.
Streaming Rules:
Don’t reveal any personal information about yourself. This is against the rules of the sites and may attract the attention of scammers and stalkers.
Choose ready-made playlists. You can’t turn on the TV or radio; they can figure out the city.
Only you should be in the frame, no animals or uninvolved people. If you want to stream as a couple, you need to select this type of broadcast when registering.
Discuss any topics except politics, homosexuality, religion.
You can make a menu type – a list of actions with prices, which is fixed at the top of the chat. This way you can encourage viewers to send tips. Examples of menu types include “naked push-ups”, “naked squats”, “show your leg” and much more – it all depends on your creativity. It’s better to write a lot of simple and cheap actions than a few and expensive ones – this will help increase average earnings.
Studio work
First of all, you need to decide which studio you will go to – remote or offline (with real offices in cities). Studios are good because they help you get used to the profession, give you a basic understanding of the work, and help you withdraw money from foreign services.
Remote studios
This is a 100% answer to the question of how to become a webcam model for a man or woman from home. Broadcast directly from your apartment or rent a room and buy the equipment yourself. The main task of the studio is to accompany you throughout your entire career path: answer questions, help improve content, quickly lead to financial results, deal with technical and any other work issues.
Since all services are provided online, companies have much lower costs, and therefore commissions are lower: on average, they ask for up to 10%. Thus, it turns out that the model receives 40% of the net income, taking into account the commission of the service and the studio.
The model is left to her own devices, does not waste time traveling to the office, and broadcasts in a free schedule. No one controls or fines.
Employment algorithm:
- Submit your application.
- Take online training.
- A personal manager selects sites and registers accounts.
- Agree on a broadcast schedule.
- In your personal account, you record your broadcasts and your earnings and commissions are calculated.
- You start streaming.
Offline studios
These are physical premises, most often basements or rented apartments. Models travel to the apartment in shifts, usually a 2 by 2 schedule. Each studio has an administrator who controls the time the models arrive and leave and their efficiency: whether they really work on air or are lazy.
The advantages of studios include offline training, provision of equipment for work and ordering professional photo sessions. Since companies invest a lot in renting the models themselves, the commissions here are the highest – 50% after deducting service costs. As a result, the model earns 25% of net income.
Employment algorithm:
- Submit your application with photos.
- If you like the photos, you will be called for an interview at the studio.
- Take offline training.
- Agree on a work schedule.
- Go to the office and broadcast.
How much does a male webcam model earn?
There is no universal answer here; earnings depend on many factors:
- Broadcast schedule – how often do you go online, what time of day, how much time do you spend on air?
- Knowledge of English – the most solvent audience is foreign viewers. The better you speak English, the easier it is to understand you. Therefore, you will still have to upgrade foreign languages.
- Creativity – how much you can stand out from other models, how you will build the atmosphere of the broadcasts, what variety of content you will come up with.
- Communication skills – you will have to communicate a lot, look for topics for conversation, analyze conversations and interlocutors, understand the interests and needs of the target audience.
- Using additional channels – paid photo albums, splitter programs (for simultaneous streaming on several platforms), selling content through special services, subscribing to social networks.
- Regular fans are female spectators who follow your work and regularly invite you to private chats. Many models acquire a group of loyal viewers and stop going on free broadcasts.
- Connecting additional functions – “spying”, C2C. Peepers are hidden connected users in private who cannot write or otherwise reveal their presence. The cost of voyeurism is less than that of a private chat, but the model receives many times more for one dialogue. C2C – the ability to turn on the viewer’s webcam, which is paid additionally.
The regularity of broadcasts is an important indicator. The broadcast stays at the top only when the model is online. If you don’t log into the platform every day, your broadcast will drop in overall rankings and fewer people will see you. Fewer views means fewer visits and invitations to private.
Video chat brings good money for men. The average salary in the country is 50,000 rubles. To achieve it, you need to either spend five years building a career or start working in IT. If you don’t have the time and desire to learn IT professions or start working with the minimum wage, welcome to webcam.
The main source of income for models is private chats. Cost per minute from $1 to $10. There are platforms in which the model can install it herself, for example Imlive, Streamate, LiveJasmin. Don’t forget about promotional periods! On some sites, prices are initially reduced to the minimum in order to promote the model faster.
How to diversify your broadcasts?
Webcam work for guys is a way to quickly gain financial independence. A couple of months will be enough to figure out a niche, especially if you collaborate with a studio: you can save time on stupid mistakes and immediately test working hypotheses.
We understand how difficult it is for beginners to understand, so we have prepared a small list of possible actions on air.
Tell funny stories from your life. Laugh, joke, actively gesture, change angles. Remember what your audience likes and use it.
Try broadcasting as a couple. Invite a friend, flirt, dance erotic dances.
Experiment with your appearance. Try wigs, temporary tattoos, false piercings. You can lighten your hair and periodically tint it in different colors. Put on cool makeup, try to parody some popular hero of film culture.
Interact with viewers. Make really interesting riddles, tell them some unexpected facts, play a game with them, or try organizing a BDSM session. Most male models do absolutely none of the above!
At the very beginning, online webcams cause discomfort for men: in the Russian mentality, it is not customary to openly flirt with someone. However, do not forget that we work for foreign audiences, and those women are somewhat different from ours – they are more open, financially independent and firmly on their feet in career terms. Therefore, in any case, this will be an interesting experience for you, even if you do not decide to stay in the niche for a long time.
Conclusion
Webcam for guys is a quick way to earn start-up capital. After a couple of years of active streaming, you will be able to afford a good foreign car, an apartment, or even your own business. Join our studio! We will help you achieve results faster.
There are three ways for a guy to get into web modeling:
register on the sites yourself – the level of net income is 50%;
start collaborating with an online studio – net income level 40%;
go to work in an offline studio – the level of net income is 25%.
In the first two options, you need to buy the equipment yourself. We recommend starting with online studios: you lose only 10% of your income, but at the same time you get a personal consultant on all issues 24/7 and free access to the studio’s experience gained over the years.
