Be a Chat Site's Chathost,a Studio Girl or Independent Cam Girl

When you decide to be a sex cam girl, you have to choose whether to go independent or register with a webcam chat site to be a chathost or to the extreme, sign up with studio and be a studio girl.  What is the difference?  You need to evaluate your situation.  If you are technically competent as in you can handle and fix all sorts of computer problems then you are in the position to be an independent girl or signup as an individual chathost.  On the other hand, if you are the sort of girls who can't even change a light bulb, then you'd better find a decent studio and be a studio girl.  Let the studio sort out all the computer problems and deal with the webcam chat site if any problem occurs.

Sometimes it's the other way round.  Some studio girls or cam sites' chathosts would work for several studios or live cam chat sites and decide to work for themselves instead.

You may ask, "what is the benefit being an independent cam chat girl?".

First, you get all the money you bill the viewers, except all the charges involved in the billing system you use.  A chathost on a webcam chat site gets only about 30-35% of what the viewers pay.

Second, law is the only rule you have to obey.  Some live cam chat sites may require the cam girls to do certain no. of hours of discounted shows or free shows as a promotion.  Other sites may encourge competition between girls so that the popular chathosts get to be the featured girl or appear at the top of the who's online page and therefore increasing the chance of meeting paying viewers.  If you don't want to play these sorts of game, then your profile page will rarely be seen.

What is the down side of being an independent cam girl?

You have to do the promotion all by yourself.  If you don't do anything or you don't know how to promote yourself, then no viewers can find you which means no income.  On the other hand, big live sex chat sites like Flirt4free, MyFreeCam and Chaturbate have big budgets for promotion.  You just sit at home or studio and be sexy and attractive then there are loads of viewers flooding in to pay and watch your show.

Most sex webcam chat sites like Chaturbate.com or Video-Girlz.com can handle rude and unreasonable viewers.  Some have monitors pop in to different chatrooms to make sure both chathosts and viewers are behaving nicely.

All live cam chat sites provide many ways of payment. Besides credit cards, these big cam sites may take various online payment options like Payoneer, Paxum or pay via phone. Viewers have many choices of payment and increase their chance of committing buying.

How to choose whether to go independent or work for other web sites/studio depends on your personality and own experience with the webcam show business.  There is no harm to try different things and find the one that suits you most.  See my guide to be a Skype cam girl in tumblr if you want to go independent
