Before becoming a webcam model, you want to be sure that you are prepared. This includes having quality equipment along with some suggested add-ons, if the platform you are broadcasting from offers compatibility for them. (Ours certainly does!) You don't want to rush your journey if you are just getting started. The webcam modeling industry like most other industries can be competitive, so you want to start with off with a bang and we're here to help.


Equipment


Let us go over the essentials you'll need to become a high paid webcam model.


First, you want to do your research and look into great quality HD external plug in webcams. This is one of the most important components to the job. Having poor image quality will most certainly affect your shows in a negative way. You don't want to look pixelated and grainy. You want to aim for a webcam that offers clear and crisp delivery. Some webcams even come with features that will follow a models movement, which takes away the hassle of playing videographer when you should just be focusing on your performances. Other webcams come with remote controls, which are ideal for providing more ease of use and the ability to capture details when compared to a standard plug-in webcam that doesn't come with one. If you are thinking to yourself, I'll just use the webcam that is built into my laptop. Built in webcams are typically not the greatest quality, so you want to avoid using those and invest a little in yourself and in your journey into becoming a high paid webcam model. You will thank us later.

Next, let's talk about using desktops vs laptop computers for webcam models. A desktop computer is stationary and doesn't provide the ability to move it around easily. Need we say more? Broadcasting as a web model from a desktop computer will also, limit your visibility. Think about where you want to be performing your quality cam shows from. How great would your shows be if you just stood in front of your desktop and how much of you will be in view? If you ask us, performing as a web model is best from a laptop. Operating from a laptop will offer more flexibility on where you perform, thus allowing you to choose and change up your performance location. (Bedroom, living room, hotel room...) Being able to work when traveling, is another benefit when working from a laptop. If you are on vacation and don't wish to be away from making money for an entire week, you have your equipment with you, so you can broadcast at any time. (Note: The higher your computers RAM, the better. Low RAM can result in a model looking like she's moving on a delay and not in real time. So it's important to have at least 8GB RAM.) This, paired with high speed internet can make or break how you look on cam.

Next, let us talk about show lighting. Webcam models can have a great webcam and a nice laptop with 8GB or more in RAM and high speed internet, but if you don't have great performance lighting, your shows will definitely suffer. If your performance area is dark and creates a lot of shadows, it could also have you appear grainy to your audience. The right type of lighting and where it's positioned, makes a big difference. You don't want to simply turn on 2 night table lamps and think they are going to provide the type of lighting we know a webcam model needs to look their absolute best! Many models use ring lights and these are great at providing good lighting coverage and because they are portable, you can move them around to get your performance area looking prime. What do we recommend? 3 rings lights. Many these days come with the ability to change the brightness or warmth of the lighting as well. Webcam models also use photography lighting kits as these come with soft boxes. A soft box is a light modifier that confines light from an artificial source into a wire framed box and releases it through a layer of diffusion. Soft boxes are commonly used in photography as a soft source of light that minimizes harsh shadows.


An example of a photography lighting kit with soft boxes is shown below. You can pick these up online relatively inexpensive. Visit webcam show lighting.

Okay models, we've covered webcams, computers and lighting. It's now time to talk about your performance area or stage, which is where you will be broadcasting from. Since our models work from home, they usually broadcast from their bedrooms or living rooms and it's important to always remember a few things about how to set up an attractive looking performance area. First, de-clutter, de-clutter, de-clutter. Let's say it together, de-clutter! You don't want to broadcast in your bedroom and have all of our dresser drawers open and laundry piled high on your unmade bed. That being said, make your bed ladies & gents. Ultimately, you want a tidy and inviting space to keep your audience engaged. If you have posters all of the walls and trophies from when you were a cheerleader back in high school or pictures of you with your family, you will want to remove those from camera view. Many models hang twinkle or fairy lights in their backgrounds and have neon led light strips or remote color changing floor lamps for broadcasting at night and setting a chill mood. You want to be the focal point of your broadcast, not your late snack plate on your nightstand that didn't make it to the kitchen sink, LOL! You are the snack! So create a stage area that highlights you and makes your audience want to sit and stay awhile. Be sure it has some color, you don't want a space that looks like it has the personality of a wet paper bag. If you need help creating a great performance area, our team will help you before you broadcast. That's what we're here for so don't worry.

Interactive Add-Ons


Not all cam sites are created equal and depending on who you work with, ways to make money and opportunities will vary. Some cam sites have a plethora of ways to earn, while others are more limited in options. In addition, not all cam sites have the ability to use Interactive Toys. If you are fortunate enough to be a model with a company that has the technology for models to use an Interactive, you will want one. Inter-actives are Bluetooth adult toys that are compatible with a broadcasting platform, that allows your audience to tip you, without even going into a PVT. (Private show.) Models who use an Inter-active, earn 15X more than models who don't use one. Inter-actives are a fun way to keep your audience engaged and allow paid members to make it vibrate or move, depending on the one you choose to use, when you have it turned on and connected to your modeling platform. At Strip Entertainment, our partnered technology is A+ and all of our models have the capability to use an Interactive Toy to increase their earnings. It is recommended that you pick one up between applying with us and broadcasting for the first time. To learn more and to order an Interactive Toy, visit this page here.


Bag of Tricks


In addition to having great equipment and an excellent, well lit, performance area, you will want to make sure that you have what we call a "Bag of Tricks." These are anything that will help make your performances more fun and interesting. Toys are a given, so keep a few on hand, different shapes and colors to entertain audience variety. This could include, dildos, vibrators, cuffs, ropes, ticklers, paddles, costumes for role playing, heels (Popular request) As you start to earn more and more, you will not want to forget to take a little and invest it in your career. Remember, other models who are improving their bag of tricks are doing it to be a top earning model. The most popular trick out there are torso sex dolls. This is because it adds a lot of perspective for the paying audience and immerses them in a sense of real, where they can envision themselves in the show with you. Another popular trick among our top earning models is the Bluetooth mini sex machine. Paying members can tip our models to operate it and it's a game changer! Also, lingerie is a staple in the adult webcam business, so look your best ladies. Change it up, different styles, colors, fabrics etc. You don't have to spend a fortune either to pick up some great stuff.
