Monetizing Cam Shows as Recorded Clips

Monetizing Cam Shows as Recorded Clips

Both camming and clips are great ways to make money as a model, so why not combine both and sell your public streams as clips directly?

That’s what I would call hitting two birds with one stone. You save time and offer different content for your public all at once; users who missed your show will also appreciate being able to watch it later.

The best way to market your content is in tiers; you can offer your regular shows for less money, and make your special performances, like fetish shows, more big-budget offerings.

Plus, it will work as a great motivation for them to attend your next stream, so that they can experience it live and take part in it. So let’s get into it.

HOW TO CREATE PUBLIC SHOW RECORDINGS

Some platforms have an amazing feature that allows users to record their private shows with you and also the public ones. You don’t have to worry about a thing; just enable the show recording feature and set your per-minute rate. Users will automatically get their copy if they decide to record, and you will get your tokens. As simple as ABC.

If your platform doesn’t include such a feature, screen recording via downloadable free software or your computer’s built-in app would be the way to go.

WHAT KINDS OF CAMMING PERFORMANCES SHOULD YOU CAPTURE?

In most public shows, there are moments where nothing might be going on as you’re waiting for users to tip, etc. We don’t want that in our clips. That’s why the shows that you intend to record must be well-planned and feature a clear topic. For example, you could capture the special performance unlocked after reaching the goal in your room. Or how about diving into fetishes? If you have a special show in mind, that’s the time to hit that “rec” button. Otherwise, you’ll have to devote some time to editing the footage later, which can be tiresome.

If you want to have a range of shows for sale, remember that variety is the spice of life. Try to experiment and be versatile. You can do “fetish week” and feature a different kink every day, and after, you will have a whole collection of extra-sexy porn to offer fans.

HOW TO MARKET CAM RECORDINGS

Let’s try not to leave any loose ends here: sell your clips everywhere on your various platforms. Private albums? Check. Fan club on your premium social media of choice? Check. All other features that allow you to sell content? Double check.

On certain platforms, you can even sell content via an on-site messenger and also on your timeline or landing page, which is a section with your activity log similar to Facebook’s.

The best way to market your content is in tiers; you can offer your regular shows for less money, and make your special performances, like fetish shows, more big-budget offerings. You can also save the best ones for your top-tier fan club subscribers, for example, and this way you also strengthen your relationship with them, pampering your top spenders with the most exclusive content.

Don’t hesitate to go check other models’ content if you need ideas for the pricing. Knowing the market and what the competition is doing is key. It would be unrealistic to charge 1000 tokens for a type of video that others are charging only 50 for.

Since promoting your content on your socials is a must, it’s important to edit smaller sample sizes of the content you create for marketing purposes — using them as a preview on Twitter, for example. If you’re promoting on a more SFW platform, be careful not to get banned by getting too explicit in the images or language used. Needless to say, a captivating caption is essential no matter where you post it.

The possibilities for revenue diversification are endless thanks to all the content-selling features cam sites have nowadays, so just rock that stream and put a price on it!
