Beginner’s Guide to Becoming a Gay Webcam Model

How To Be a Gay Webcam Model: The Person

The Type of Person

The criterion for this type of work is a strong personality and a little bit of self-confidence will go a long way too.

Just remember, though your body is your choice, this is still a taboo subject and what I think, is that decisions are made by oneself even though you might be subjected to complaints and some sort of harassment.

The Looks & Appearance

While you might think that you need to be stunning and hot to make it in this industry, well ignore that. This is what society and the modeling industry as a whole have tried to force on us about beauty to make money selling sex and magazines.

No matter what your physical appearance is like, there will be always an audience for you. You know Rule 34 of the internet famously says “If you can think of it, there is porn of it.”

Going Nude or Non-Nude

There is an obvious increase in some quick easy money when it comes to total nude modeling. As you’re more likely to get increased traffic and longer watch time. However, there is a flip side to this. Which is that non-nude models are more likely to over time attract big spenders.

They get their rocks off by trying to pay you a lot of money on Private Cam to drop the top. However, you will see that these strategies differ depending on the strategy and we’ll go through that below.

Kinks

There is always a possibility to make someone get crazy over you with even a fancy or kinky touch in your style.

And since we have technology that has brought us the internet and much better direct access to porn a lot of very strange yet wonderful kinks have appeared and probably everyone is into something.

Therefore, one of the things that you should embrace is that if you have a kind of strange fantasy or kink, use it to your advantage. Promote that as it will give you a more niche audience and make you stand out from the rest.

How To Be a Gay Cam Model: The Platforms

When it comes to starting as a gay webcam model, the first step is finding the right platform for you. Even though most webcam platforms have some similarities, there isn’t just one place to go as you’ve got lots of options.

Some strong players have been in the market for a long time which can give you a massive injection of steady traffic. This is where you should go if you want to be able to make money as fast as possible.

You can also opt to go for multiple platforms if you want to maximize your earnings, but you can start with one. Add the others as you get more familiar and comfortable.

Another thing to take into account is that camming is not for everybody. You must be willing to take the risk of having your face out on the internet, and your close relatives and buddies possibly finding out about it. Just don’t put much faith in geoblocking features available in these platforms to block your area, still, all in all, this is the internet.

The Top 5 Popular Gay Webcam Sites

• JerkMate – Best overall gay cam site
• Chaturbate – The most diverse group of models & the largest site by users, with more visibility
• LiveJasmin – Best for live gay cam shows with the best sign-up bonuses

Bonus: OnlyFans – Earn Extra Money From Your Fans

OnlyFans is an extension of your webcam success. Once you’ve already got webcam fans, you can direct them to your OnlyFans as extra income every month.

Here you can upload content and then charge fans a subscription rate. You can also receive tips, sell nudes sell off-site items, and other exclusive content that falls outside the webcam’s use.

You can also post public messages and subscriber-only messages and content, and give your fans custom messages or content for an “unlock price.” which they can even preview before they buy to ensure satisfaction.

How To Be a Gay Webcam Model: The Equipment

To get started with webcam modeling, all you need is a computer, a camera, high internet speed, and your will and readiness to do well and make some good money online.

The rest will follow. However, make sure that your equipment is the right one.

Laptops are the most advantageous items because of their mobility and flexibility. Part of the job, however, is working with an adequate laptop.

Your laptop wouldn’t be only for filming but for producing, logging in, marketing, and doing pretty much a lot with it.

However, if you own a phone it may or may not work with several webcam streaming platforms, so our advice would be to check out by signing up with a webcam site of your choice using your phone and trying it.

If it works, then you won’t need a laptop but still, there are a few things other than the computer that you should consider looking into.

Also, put into account that some webcam software doesn’t work with Apple iOS therefore you may want to avoid it just to be on the safe side.

The camera is the key part of your equipment item, and although you can use the camera which is integrated into your laptop, I would recommend getting a USB Webcam instead.

Modern external cameras have at least 1080p Full HD resolution and 30 fps framerate.

High-speed internet is another obvious thing in your item. When looking into having a high-speed internet connection, pay attention to the upload speed.

To stream HD, the upload speed must be at least 1.5 MB/S, and 3 MB/S to avoid any downtime delay. If you opt for a Wi-Fi connection, be sure to use the ethernet cable as it helps make the connection much more stable.

Sex Toys are kind of not very important but are just an optional extra for getting started, if you’re starting on Chaturbate though, you might need to get one particular Sex Toy that will increase your income big time.

This particular toy is the Lovense Hush or the Edge, which is supported by most of the platforms but is a big deal on Chaturbate as it allows you to automatically integrate the tips with the toy, the more the viewer’s tip, the more it vibrates and gives your followers a show.

Some Privacy Please:

Your Privacy matters a lot, and this probably goes without saying but we do want to warn you that there are some dangerous people out there.

Therefore, when you’re setting up to go on cam, make sure you’re in an exclusive private location and recording where people outside can’t see you hence getting the wrong ideas.

Also but more importantly make sure that there is nothing within view of the camera that could easily identify your location. It’s important to stay safe, keep your location private keep details to yourself, and stay safe out there!

The Marketing Strategy

After you’ve selected a platform of your choice and done set up, that means you are ready to go on cam, you need to start looking at your marketing strategy and how you will drive people to view your cam feed so that you can start earning money online.

There are dozens and different ways to drive traffic to your profile, but social media and the uniqueness of your content creation are what will drive traffic to your profile. This is the key part of How to Become a successful gay cam model.

Social media such as Instagram, Twitter, and OnlyFans are the best ways for models from all walks of life to attract viewers.

These three mentioned networks will help you to boost and be able to pinpoint your target demographic easily.

Lastly, another great strategy is to start your website or a blog where you can share your content and give users a sneak peek of what they can expect from you, the great thing about this is you can use paywalls or affiliate programs to get even more money from the traffic you drive to the website.

Now that you have learned somehow the basis of becoming a gay webcam model, it is time you start making money online. Keep up with our coming post as we will talk more on this topic.
