Webcam Model FAQ

• What is Internet Modeling, and how long have you been in business?

Founded in 1998, Internet Modeling is one of the largest online modeling agencies, offering the highest paying webcam jobs in the industry with over 100,000 webcam models under management!

• How much money can I make as a webcam model?

We pay models 60% of total earnings (70% after 6 months) for live broadcasts, recorded videos, and personal item sales on our amateur network. So if a customer spends $1, you get $0.70 of it (there are no tricks, restrictions or deductions). Our highest paid webcam models make $2,000 or more per week.

• Do I need to reach any quotas before I get the maximum payout?

No. We offer a fixed maximum payout no matter how much money you make or where your traffic comes from. Even if you signed up through an agent, you still get a 60% net payout (70% after 6 months). So for every $1 a customer spends on the Tokens he gives you, you will get $0.60 from us when you cash them out ($0.70 after 6 months).

• Will I need to get my own traffic in order to make money?

Not at all. We will provide you with more traffic than you can handle.

• Which websites do you represent, and where can I work as a webcam model?

We have the best cam sites to work for, with over 10 million combined visitors per day. Many of the websites we represent use us as their exclusive agency for hiring models, and they do not hire directly.

• What sets Internet Modeling apart from other agencies?

Our higher payout and long term stability. In an industry where the turnover and burnout rate for webcam jobs is very high, most of our models have been working with us for three years or more.

Yes, as long as it is a newer iOS or Android phone. Our primary network is optimized for mobile devices, so you can make as much money on your phone, if not more.

• What do you do to protect my privacy?

Your real name and contact info is kept in the strictest confidence, and is not allowed to be revealed to the client. For additional privacy, we have the only cam site network which does not require models to upload profile pictures or show their face on cam. Also, model and member profiles are invisible to search engines, so there is very little chance of people you know finding you.

Yes. In fact, there is a lot of demand for couple and group webcam shows, so you are likely to make more money.

Also, you must apply for a separate stage name for each group show if it does not already have one.

• I currently work for another site, can I work with you and work there too?

Yes. We have no problem with you doing webcam modeling on other sites, as long as you are not online on our network at the same time (simulcasting). Once you see how much more you can make with us, you will not be asking this question for too much longer :)

The best part of working with us is the flexibility, as we do not require you to work a minimum amount of hours or at any specific time. You set your own schedule, and can come and go as you please. Obviously, the more hours you work, the more you will make.

You can work from any location you choose, as all you need is a high speed Internet connection, a computer, and a webcam.

Your agent will also show you how to get the best placement on our network to increase your exposure. You do not need prior experience as a webcam model to work with us, and in many cases having no prior experience is actually a plus.

• Will I be asked to pose nude?

• Can I block people in certain locations from seeing my shows?

Yes, but generally this is not a feature you can count on because many people surf the web through proxies and VPN's, so their true location is hidden. Webcam models on our secondary network can block visitors by Country, City and State (U.S. only), and create up to 5 blocked areas which can be edited or removed at any time. Location Blocking is not available on our amateur network.

• Can I hide my face while on camera?

Yes, ours is probably the only site that does not require you to show your face on cam or even have a profile picture. With that said, customers generally do not like to pay to talk to someone who is afraid to show their face, especially when other models are not hiding. If you are too embarrassed to be recognized by someone you know, webcam modeling is probably not right for you.

• Do I have to look like a supermodel or have a certain look to do this?

No. Although you do have to be attractive, your personality will play a bigger part in your success in the long run than your appearance, as most customers want someone who doesn't just look good, but is also entertaining and is fun to talk to.

• What system configuration and software do I need?

You do not need any special system or software, just a modern web browser, a webcam, and microphone. To broadcast in HD video, we recommend a Logitech 9000 series webcam and a high speed Internet connection with upload speed over 450kbps (click here to test your connection speed).

Placing ads for webcam jobs on Craigslist is the easiest way to get started, since they are free or very inexpensive. On Craigslist, the most effective categories to post ads for webcam models are the "Talent Gigs" or "TV/Film/Video/Radio Jobs" sections in each local area. Other free sites for recruiting models are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Yahoo Answers, and various online forums focused on working at home, making money, affiliate programs, adult websites, or modeling. You can also recruit models offline through friends, networking, placing ads in local newspapers, distributing flyers on college campuses and night clubs, as well as attending adult entertainment related tradeshows and special events. Always remember, you are not only recruiting models, but other agents too! Once you utilize every free recruiting method available, you can sit back and let your links/ads do the work for you without it costing you a dime.

Since we accept both female and male models, agents are paid the same for both.

Yes. We do not require agents to be exclusive to us, so you are free to promote and recruit for other sites as well.

No. Agent commissions are paid entirely by us, so models make exactly the same whether they come to us through an agent or directly.

Yes. Agents can promote sites in our amateur webcam network and receive $25.00 for every referred VIP member. A VIP member is a registered user who buys at least $27.00 worth of Tokens. Agents also get full credit for every model and agent who signs up through the webcam site they promote.
