Visit Chaturbate.com

Chaturbate features a large number of male webcam models. Selecting the male category on the homepage filters the results to showcase only cam rooms with men. Most of the guys on Chaturbate are not professionals but are rather horny amateurs and kinky exhibitionists. Many of these guys are straight and simply enjoy jacking off while on cam.

The vibe here is fun and chill, and it's easy to build your own loyal fan base who will happily log in to Chaturbate just to watch you rub one out.

When you are creating your profile, it is possible to restrict who can see you by gender and/or location. This can be very helpful if your preference is to have an audience of girls, and/or if you don't want everyone in your hometown to see you. If you want to be a male cam model, but not a gay one, you will have to make yourself hidden to men, otherwise that will be the majority of the users who visit your room.

On Chaturbate, you get 5 US cents per token received in tips. That's about 62% commission. You get paid twice a month, after you've hit the $50 minimum for payout.

When you are setting up your profile, you will need to include what you are willing to perform when in a private show. This is an area where you can tell visitors all of the sexual things you are open to and what they can anticipate when joining you in private.

How Much Do Guys Who Do Sex Cam Make?

While everyone would like a quick and easy answer to this, it's really dependent on many variables. With online entertainment work, how much you can earn depends largely on your talent, likability, and work ethic. As well, it depends on what the market demand is for a guy like yourself.

You have to ask yourself, how much time am I ready to perform each day? Will I treat this as a full-time job? Am I ready to take the time to build a fan base, and be savvy enough to use all the social media tools available to help promote myself?

If you can entertain, and be recognized for it, it's conceivable that you could earn well above your country's average earnings rate for full-time work. And if you get really good at it, and become a well-known webcam model, you can do extremely well for yourself.
