How much money do adult performers earn?

The biggest clue is how and what do you perform on cam, you certainly don’t have to be perfect.
Unless you already have a pre-established presence online, you will need to dedicate regular hours and consistent schedules to building up your fanbase before you are making the big bucks. Performers that are online consistently and work from home full-time can anticipate anywhere from $1,000 – $10,000 a month, with top earners making even much more!

How much money do website operators earn?

When you get started for the first time in the adult industry, you can expect to dedicate time to build your website and brand before you see great monetary results. Unless you already have a pre-established presence online, you will need to propagate your online presence and get links to your website before you are making big money. Keep in mind that when you start from scratch it can take a number of months before you see people spending. It’s very difficult to estimate how much will earn, that depends on wich spenders you have. Some spend $10 a day or once a week, others will spend every day with top spenders that spend $500 – $800 a day!

CamSexMoney Frequently Asked Questions

Cam performers

There is a place for everyone in the adult industry and male and trans performers have the advantage of still being an undersaturated market – meaning there is less “model competition” so it is easier to climb the ranks on websites within the male and trans categories!
You do not need to look any specific way to make money in the amateur porn industry! Some of the top categories across cam and clip selling sites are things like BBW, Alternative, All Natural, and more! Customers in the porn industry have specific niches that they love and just because it’s not “conventionally attractive” does not mean it won’t be profitable in porn!
If you’re looking to get started camming you’ll first have to find the site that works for you. If you are a brand new model, you’ll probably want to pick a website that offers a good amount of traffic as well as an easy model management experience! If you’ve been in the industry a while and you’re looking to expand to new sites, you’ll probably want a camming website with a good referral program as well as customization and personalization options to really capture your brand.
There are 3 “basic types” of camming! Token sites, private sites, and indie camming. Token sites are similar to crowdfunding and allow the performer to put on a public show in “free chat” (sometimes referred to as freemium) where customers tip in towards a goal or game which the model will perform once the goal has been met. Private sites focus more on one-on-one style shows where you’re entertaining one customer or a smaller group of customers that are generally paying for your time on a per-minute basis. Indie camming refers to offering video chats off of a platform, like Skype shows, Snapchat video calls, Discord, Facetime or other forms of video chatting. There are websites set up as a directory that display performers offering indie shows where you can get listed and take payments!
This is up to you, but it's recommended to set days and hours that you are online, so your fans know when you will be online. Try to make a schedule when you are online.
