LiveJasmin and CameraBoys Registration Tips (2012)
Feb 23rd
Time sure does fly. I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I first reviewed the LiveJasmin and CameraBoys webcam jobs. Since then, I’ve reviewed Internet Modeling, iFriends, SakuraLive, Sexier, HomeCams, and Flirt4Free. It’s now 2012 with new adult cam sites popping up left, right, and centre. Over the coming months, I plan to review Cams, 5PointsModels, MyFreeCams, and Fetish Models.
In today’s post, I want to clear up a few things about LiveJasmin and network sites CameraBoys and MyTrannyCams. I understand some of you reading this are still undecided about whether or not webcam modeling is right for you (read my first blog post Becoming a Webcam Model — The Untold Truth). For those of you who follow me on my blog, you know that LiveJasmin is my #1 recommended site for beginners. That’s not to say it’s the “best” site for you, only that new performers make more money (on average) on the LiveJasmin network. For new male models, I recommend CameraBoys, which brings me to the first point I want to clarify.
New male performers have asked me whether they should register at LiveJasmin or male webcam model CameraBoys site? The fact is that whether you sign up through LiveJasmin or CameraBoys makes no difference; ALL new male livejasmin webcam performers appear on LiveJasmin AND CameraBoys under “Boy” and/or “Gay.”
For transsexual performers, MyTrannyCams is the most successful live TS network. To become a transsexual webcam model on MyTrannyCams, you will need to sign up through the LiveJasmin registration page. Transgender webcam models appear on both MyTrannyCams and the “Transgendered” category on LiveJasmin.
All new LiveJasmin Performers must submit two photo ID copies, one with only photo ID and another with your face and ID. LiveJasmin requires that your photo and identification details are eligible. Unreadable photo IDs are rejected.
Once you submit your photos, you are registered.
Here are here are some LiveJasmin and CameraBoys tips for AFTER you register:
Make a good first impression
Your first minute in free chat will be recorded and used as your profile teaser. Since this teaser will be used for members in free chat, there is no nudity allowed. Try to make a good first impression by showing off your best features and using seductive camera angles. If you’re not satisfied with your teaser, you can change it in your profile settings.
Upload a variety of photos
Make at least 6 photos for your profile gallery. Mix it up with a variety of angles and positions to get more customers interested. It’s also a good idea to both non-nude and nude photos that show off your sexiest attributes (personality, face, breasts, ass).
Start building a following
When you first start at a webcam performer, you will be placed in a promotional period at a discounted price of $0.98/minute. This promotion period lasts for 4 hours in private or 4 hours in free chat, whichever comes first. This promotion period is a way to build your regular customers and start making money right away. After this period, you can set your own cost anywhere between $1.99 and $3.99 per minute. This is where you can really make some serious money.

Set your schedule
You are free to chat any time you like, though it’s best to shoot for 8pm-2am EST (peek hours for English speaking members). Also make a point to set your schedule on your profile. By failing to do this, you are missing out on potential customers who had viewed your profile but didn’t know when to find you online. Consistency matters. And when you do go online, try to stay for at least 90 minutes since it can take up a while for things to get busy.

Flirt4Free Webcam Job Review (Video Secrets webcam4money.com)
Feb 22nd
There seems to be a lot of confusion about the Flirt4Free Webcam Model Job. At one message board, one model complained about the low commission saying that “F4F is just super greedy!” Yet on the same forum, another girl said “they do have among the highest $ per minute so you get more for less work.”
The Flirt4Free model registration page doesn’t give you all the details you need. And despite being one of the biggest live networks, information was hard to come across online. Like most webcam jobs, models are left in the dark until after they sign up.
The Video Secrets Network
First, the basics: Flirt4Free is the flagship site of Videos Secrets — one of the largest adult companies online today with a network of sites running strong since 1996. Flirt4Free offers Live Girls, Live Guys, and Live Shemales. Webcam models apply through the registration site Webcam4Money. Once registration is approved, your profile will be placed on the Video Secret network of sites including Flirt4Free.
What Makes Flirt4Free Different
Flirt4Free focuses on providing the best customer experience. Visitors to the network are more likely to register and purchase credits for live shows. As one camgirl mentioned:
“They do pay less % wise, but the customers are quality (long shows yay!)”
Just like any job, there is more to consider than just commission. Here’s what another camgirl had to say about the Flirt4Free webcam job:
“I do like to setup and their webcam models area is nice to connect with other models. Also, they had trips and stuff to meet. The sense of community is a cool addition…..felt like a “real” employer.”
Model Commission and Payment
First of all, you will not be flirting for “free.” You will earn money when customers spend credit on your private shows, recorded shows, as well as tips and bonuses. Customers pay between $3.00 and $15.00 per minute for live shows. This is the highest per minute rate that I know of. You get paid 22.4% to 26.66% of what your customers pay you. So although Flirt4Free members pay the highest rate per minute, models are paid the lowest % commission.
Similar to LiveJasmin and CameraBoys, Flirt4Free has a tipping system in both Free Chat and Private Chat. Tipping can account for 20% or more of a model’s revenue; this alone is a good source of motivation to provide a high-quality experience for your visitors.
Recorded Shows
Flirt4Free will record ALL of your live sex shows. This is either an incredible bonus or a reason to worry, depending on who you ask. After a private show, it becomes available to registered members as a VOD purchase. This means that even after you log off, you get paid every time a member watches your recorded shows. This feature makes it possible to literally make money while you sleep! Keep in mind that you will NOT be paid for your recorded shows after you close your account with Video Secrets. If you do decide to quit, you will need to send them a request to have your VODs removed. (There have been model complaints about recorded shows not taken down even after they closed their account.)
Become a Flirt4Free Model
Step 1 — To get started, sign up at Webcam4Money
Step 2 — If you are registering as a solo performer, select “Single Performer QUICK SIGNUP!” (see screenshot below):
Most single performers can have their forms completed in an hour and ready to start work the same day.

LiveJasmin Performers, Think Like a Porn Star!
Feb 21st
When most LiveJasmin performers and webcam models think about camming, they think of going online to flirt, strip, and deal with abusive jerks: just put in the time, ignore the haters, and collect your paycheck. The models who’ve really “figured it out” will earn their living without even taking it the stripping level (read my interview with “Never Nude”). It just goes to show that successful webcam models come in many forms — this isn’t a one-size-fits-all type of job.
I’ve always pushed the idea that your personality is your most important skill in selling private shows. But it’s also true that webcam models who ACT like dirty little sluts also do very well in the private room. I’ve received a couple emails from porn stars looking to make the transition into the adult webcam world. Not surprisingly, they had no problems making the transition.
If the idea of getting online to perform makes you nervous, you’re not alone. Your webcam is turned on. You’re looking your sexiest. And you’re about to be taken into private where you will be told to perform sexual acts by a random stranger online. Assuming you’re performing solo, you are safe in the comfort of your home, yet the free chat room makes you feel as if you’re performing for an audience!
A good idea for any new webcam model is to think like a porn star. Underneath all the social programming and religious bullshit, lies an inner slut completely uninhibited and waiting to be liberated. I don’t care if you’re a guy, girl, straight, or gay, we are all sexual creatures.
So how do you act like a porn star in front of your webcam? Release your “Inner Slut.” That’s how!
Of course, this is only webcam modeling. Your job is to simply “act” like a slut. Here’s some porn star behavior that will convince your customers that you are worthy of their money.
Eye Contact
Sexy eye contact can be extremely arousing! When you’re online, you should be looking directly into your customer’s eyes. That is, look into your webcam. This will make him feel like you’re “together.” Make sure your webcam is set close enough to your bed or wherever you perform to make him feel “close” to you. From time to time, lean in towards the camera and lick your lips and give him a kiss. Do this as if he’s right in front of you.
Voice Tone
Speaking slower is sexier. Deliberately slow down your voice as if you’re talking to your boyfriend/girlfriend at the most intimate times. As you get more excited, your voice tone should reflect this. Moan as you continue to excite yourself. As excitement escalates, so should your breathing and moaning.
Dirty Talk
Dirty talk is one of the webcam model’s most powerful tools. A camgirl or camboy who knows how to effectively use dirty talk can earn more money with less effort. There are no limits to how far you can take it, though it’s good to start off slowly and build it up:
- “I’m getting so hot and horny right now…”
- “I haven’t had my pussy pounded for way too long…”
- “I want you to fuck my little ass, Daddy!”
- “Treat me like the dirty little slut that I am!”
- “I want you to shoot your hot load all over my face!”
Combining effective dirty talk with seductive eye contact and body language is VERY hot. Don’t be surprised if you double your time in private chat using these techniques alone!
Orgasm
Whether you fake your orgasm or not makes no difference. What’s important is your perceived pleasure. One way you can extend your time in private chat is to extend your fake orgasm. Just when he’s thinks you’re about to cum, tell him:
- “Baby, I’m gonna cum soon…” (continue to masterbate)
- “Baby, I’m going to cum so fucking hard…” (continue to masterbate)
- “Oh God…fuck…” (moan and masterbate more)
- “Baby, you gonna cum with me?” (make strong eye contact and continue to masterbate)
If you’re performing on LiveJasmin, you already know you get paid per minute. And once you’re about to orgasm, there’s almost zero chance they will stop paying you at this point. Build up slowly to the orgasm and extend it as long as you can.
Guys have an added level of difficulty here since it’s harder to fake orgasm. Your goal is to keep erect and have them believe you are just about to shoot your load:
- “I’m getting close…”
- “Oh God, I can’t take it much longer…”
- “God, I want to cum so fucking bad…”
- “It’s coming…oh fuck…”
Then when you do cum, keep the show going! Now is the perfect time to extend your private time with some “cum play” for your customers.
Bonding
Many customers will stay in private even after your sex show is finished. They may want to ask you questions and get to know you better. Now you can give them the “girlfriend experience” (or “boyfriend experience”). This bonding time AFTER your sex show could mean the difference between a one-timer and a repeat regular client. Not every guy is only interested in sex. Many will want to chat afterwards as well. If you can make him feel as if he’s your favorite, there’s a good chance he will be back.
Webcam modeling is all about the details. And you don’t have to be a porn star to become a successful webcam performer. With practice, you’ll start developing your own style and techniques. And as you continue to build your sexual confidence, you will notice yourself enjoying your online work more.

HomeCams Webcam Job Review
Feb 1st
One of the biggest complaints I get from webcam models is spending too much time in free chat without pay. It’s too bad there wasn’t a site that would pay you every hour so that you would never waste time…
It might surprise you that there actually is a site just like this. The site is known as HomeCams. It has only been around since 2010 so it hasn’t had as much exposure as other sites. Despite being a new site, it boasts an impressive 3+ million visitors per month! But the real beauty lies in their guaranteed payout system. Pay attention because the HomeCams webcam job is unlike any other site I’ve worked on.
It uses a payout system that guarantees a minimum fixed hourly wage for new models (first 100 hours). In other words, no more spending time in free chat without pay! New camgirls are guaranteed $7/hour, male models get $6/hour, and couples get $9/hour. To qualify for the guaranteed “base salary,” you need to fill out your model profile page (including pictures), work a minimum of 6 hours/week, and must average 25 tokens/hour. Private Chat rates go from 10 to 25 tokens/min, so you only need to do few shows to be in the guaranteed system.
Now you might think that $7/hour is too low, but keep in mind that the rates above are your minimum base salary ONLY. After you earn more than your base, you will be paid 40% commission for ALL your private shows — a higher than average model commission. And when you refer new customers (from social network sites, for example), you get 80% of the total amount billed to your referred customers!
How Does It Work?
HomeCams offers several chat modes, including “Free Chat,” “Members Only Chat,” and “Private Chat.” You can block free chatters and focus on multiple paying members in “Members Only Chat” or you can earn money 1-on-1 with the high rollers in “Private Chat.” They also have a unique “Hardcore Themes Show” where you are paid a fixed rate (up to $200) for each performance.
In order to maximize earning potential, you will appear on the entire HomeCams network of sites, including PrivateFeeds, their original site and one of the most popular live cam sites today, as well as 14 niche sites (if category matches) including VIPcams, RealLiveGuys and AllManCams (guys, gays). You have the option to block your country or specific state/province (US and Canada) so you can block your area without losing out on the entire US market. You can also block specific sites within the network.
How To Register?
Registration is free and will only take 10 minute. In most cases, you can start working 2-3 hours after you create your account.
STEP 1 – Visit for the model registration page.
STEP 2 – Enter a nickname, password, and email address. Click “Create My Account”.
STEP 3 – On the next page, fill out your payment details.
STEP 4 – Submit a copy of your photo ID (must have full name and date of birth). Click “Save & Continue”.
STEP 5 — Submit model release form and “Confirm”.
Once your application is approved (usually within a few hours), you can start working right away with a guaranteed hourly pay and 40%-80% commission. Happy camming 
Interview with “Never Nude” Webcam Model
Jan 30th
I’ve gotten numerous emails asking me about the Non-Nude category in LiveJasmin. For those of you who don’t know, LiveJasmin has a “Hot Flirt” (no nudity) category. Beginner webcam models often want to know if they can earn a lot performing as a “Non Nude.” Usually I tell them to avoid this category simply they won’t make as much money…or so I thought!
I caught up with a webcam model (she prefers to remain anonymous) who was kind enough to answer my questions about working as a non-nude webcam model. I would like to personally thank her for taking the time to help me out. She calls herself “The Number One Never Nude.”
In this candid Q&A, she talks about her experience as a non-nude camgirl and shares some valuable advice for beginner webcam models.
How did you first get started in the webcam business?
I have been on a webcam since I was 14 years old, dancing around for fun and chatting with friends. When I turned 18, I found out I could get paid to do the exact same thing, without getting naked or doing anything sexual. I said,”Why not?” and started getting paid to play the piano on cam. I learned how to make the real money, and what it was all about as I continued on a site called “Cam Pals.” The name “CamPals” even made me think it was just about being paid to be friends with people online.
What was your first experience on cam like?
I had fun. I was used to being on cam for 4 years already, so I just did what I was used to doing: dance, talk, and entertain.
Which cam networks have you worked on?
I started on CamPals and then went over to MyFreeCams.
Are you comfortable telling your friends about your online work?
All of my friends and closest family members know what I do. They know I don’t get naked, and think it is fantastic that I am going against the curve, like I have been doing my whole life. Some even come and watch me work some nights. It’s no big deal. I’ve even worked with my mom in the same room, as I cooked and danced in the kitchen.
What do you like most about your online work?
The attention and the money are great. Every girl wants to be in the limelight, slathered in flattery, and get paid to be themselves. I make more on webcam than any other job I’ve ever done; even after getting my degree.
Have you had any bad experiences?
Yes. I’ve had a major stalker come from Australia who found my name, number, and address. It was very scary.
You call yourself “The Number One Never Nude,” what’s your secret to success?
There is no secret. I am myself. I keep my clothes on. And I don’t give in, no matter how many tokens or money I am offered. Really, I’m the only “never-nude” I know of on the web. So by default, I am number one. There are girls who say they don’t get naked, but if you take them private or on skype, they are masturbating for you. I don’t lie. I’m honest. I’m genuine.
Are there any unique challenges for performing only non-nude shows?
The unique challenge is when people think your privates couldn’t possibly be worth the time and cash. I love it when they take me and I prove them wrong. These ones normally become addicted and want to see me every night after that! Some girls talk shit about me on the web, saying I scam people, but everyone who reads my profile, topic, or listens to me speak knows I don’t get naked, dance in bra and panties, or even do nipple slips. I’ve got a clean record of no nudity, no slip-ups, and I like to keep it that way. Many men and most of my paying customers respect me and pay me more just because they know I am not going to give in, to anyone.
What advice would you give to a new camgirl just getting started?
I would say, beware. Beware of the men who want to “get to know you personally.” Beware of the tempting money offers, because you will probably regret it. And, “Do Not Forget Who You Truly Are!”
I used to have this thing going where I would recruit girls to be a part of my never-nude crew. I knew many girls who needed money and I thought, “If I can make so much and have so much fun, why not help my friends?”
I recruited a best friend of mine and she totally turned out to be the biggest slut I’ve ever met. I never knew this about her until I introduced her to a webcam. She showed that side of her to me that she never had before. She used and abused men for their money or drugs, did skype sex shows without telling me, and even met men for sex in cars to get money, drugs, or flights. It was very heart-breaking to see someone destroy themselves and their entire reputation in a matter of months. She did many evil things to me as well, including harassing my friends and family. I’m not blaming the webcam world for it all, but it will definitely open doors to a Hell that one could never imagine.
Do you have any other camgirl tips you’d like to share with my readers?
Don’t get greedy. Enjoy the fact you’re making more than $8.50 an hour like most Americans right now. Save money for your real passion and to do what you truly love. Rather it be a chef, a designer, an artist, writer, or anything else, don’t plan on being a cam model forever. Make your money while you can, in the most moralistic way possible, and then leave without leaving anything online that will hurt you in your future endeavors.
No, you will not be able to be a teacher, political figure, or public icon. No, it will not make you famous. And no, it will not make you any better than you are before you started.
Find a boyfriend who understands and cares for you and your work. Relationships and trust are very challenging as a webcam model, and most guys will become jealous of the guys you are entertaining online. Don’t get with a douchebag who will abuse your opportunity.
