How Much Money do Chaturbate Models Make?
Making money on Chaturbate is quite rewarding, as hundreds of successful webcam models will tell you. Granted, it isn’t easy at first, but when you do it right, you can earn up to six figures a year. The base rate for any performer is 5 cents per token. Once you add them up, you can earn roughly $200 an hour.
Of course, there is some emphasis on that term “roughly”. There are no exact figures online about Chaturbate average earnings. That’s because the platform is, to put it simply, huge. There are literally thousands of models out there and it can be extremely difficult to keep track of how much they earn. Luckily, we do have a rough estimate thanks to various camgirls’ testimonies.
The rough estimate of Chaturbate earnings
On average, female performers get paid for webcam sex 75% more than male or trans performers. New female models can earn around $100 a day for roughly 3-4 hours of work, totalling around $3000 at the end of the month. Experienced models, on the other hand, can earn as much as $7000 a day for the same number of work hours. You can expect a spike in earnings as early as within 6 months if you’re active and persistent.
It gets a little rough if you’re a man or a trans performer. Usually, both of these categories earn five times less than women since the demand for transsexual and male performers is low. However, you can still expect to earn roughly 20$ a day, at the very least. Successful male performers with large fanbases can earn as much as $500 for a few hours of work, though it does take a lot of hard work and dedication. An estimated average for highest-paid transsexual models is somewhere between $2000 and $4000 a month.
Couples tend earn more than solo performers, averaging between $1000 and $10.000 a day. In fact, solo performer’s numbers also rise if they bring “guests” during their stream. With numbers that high, it’s no wonder that so many people want to make money on webcam sex.
How to make money with Chaturbate — tips and tricks
If you want to get paid for webcam sex, you need to think about many different things at once. An average webcam model needs to focus on performance, user interaction, brand promotion, and moderation. The list below will show you how to make money with Chaturbate and grow your profile organically.
Using the affiliate program
Chaturbate provides an affiliate program that lets you earn money every time you send a new visitor to their website. They can either pay you $1 for a new sign-up or 20% of every tip that the person you referred spends. It’s important to note that you’ll be earning those 20% forever, i.e. as long as you’re a cam model on the site.
Webcam models on Chaturbate utilize certain tools that help them promote the affiliate program. For example, if you want to promote your chatroom on social media, there are special tracking links which go directly to it. By posting these special revshare affiliate links, you have a chance of earning more money with each new sign-up.
Selling photo and video sets
The cool thing about this website is that you can make money on webcam performing AND on selling content. For instance, models on Chaturbate earn money by letting people buy different photo and video sets. Even if you’re not online, someone who enjoys your performance can buy a set.
More importantly, you can sell the same content on other websites and even link your profile to each set, increasing your fanbase. Chaturbate encourages this practice, since it sends more traffic their way and they get more followers. You can even use the website’s affiliate link program by promoting your content on other webpages.
Selling products
Aside from photos and videos, you can also earn money by selling other personalized products. Some models sell used underwear, signed shirts, used sex toys, etc. Figure out what works for you and create a menu listing the products. Make sure to use the same tipping system that you have for your camming services.
Starting a fanclub
Most of the popular camgirls on the site have a fanclub. Members of a Chaturbate fanclub get to see all of your content for a monthly fee and their name will appear green in live chat. Growing your fanclub will earn you more money on a monthly basis, but you need to provide the fans with lots of quality content to keep them invested.
Encouraging visitors to follow you
In order to maintain a steady income, you need to encourage people to follow your profile. You can do this with a simple verbal reminder or even a post in the chat every now and again. Followers get a notification when a Chaturbate model signs in so they don’t have to scroll through hundreds of other models instead.
Spicing up the profile
Most performers who know how to make money on Chaturbate will tell you that half of their appeal is in the profile. Here are some of the tips on how to make your profile stand out:
- Make it visual with HQ images
- List the rules of your chatroom clearly
- List the best tippers
- Create an easy-to-understand tipping system
- Describe yourself in a natural way and avoid cookie-cutter lines
- Clearly list your turn-ons and turn-offs
If you’ve ever scrolled through the list of active models on the website, you can probably understand why some of them end up on the bottom just by looking at their profile. Making money on Chaturbate will be difficult if your profile page looks barren and devoid of anything stimulating. If you provide lots of images and fun, quirky descriptions, a viewer might bookmark your profile and, more importantly, sign up to follow you. The best way to build a great profile is to research some of the top-ranked models and see how they built theirs for reference.
Linking the profile to your website
Your personal website is an excellent tool to help you grow your Chaturbate profile and earn more money. Since it’s your website, you can grow your brand and increase your SEO rankings. In addition, you can promote other products and services outside of Chaturbate which can, in turn, grow your online presence even more. Moreover, the website itself promotes the models to link their profiles and their social media on personal websites, since it helps with the affiliate program.
Nothing is for free
Everyone loves free porn, let’s be honest. But doing something for free will not help you earn a living. Making money on Chaturbate depends on tips, so if someone wants something for free, remind them that they need to tip you. You have to insist on it and be resolute, but don’t be rude or demanding.
Being active
If there’s one thing that kills the vibe, it’s sitting around and doing nothing. That’s why most high-tier models move around, dance, engage their watchers, or do other activities. If you’re interested in making money on Chaturbate, you need to be engaging. Otherwise, people will simply pick a different model instead.
Talking rather than typing
Talking to your viewers is a big part of being active. It might be easier to type, but your voice makes it a bit “personal”; the viewers react well when you tease them with your voice or have a genuine vocal reaction to a tip. Moreover, if you have to walk around or perform, you’d have to stop every few seconds to type, which is impractical and a major turn-off. So, let the moderators deal with typing and focus on being an active performer for your fans.
A brief wrap-up
New webcam models usually have a hard time finding the best method to earn a living. But once you get the hang of making money on Chaturbate, you’ll be raking in thousands of dollars each month. All it takes is some good, old-fashioned math, self-promotion, and effort. Try using all of the tips from the list above and you’ll soon be ranking high on Chaturbate’s front page.
