Tax settings

It is important to note that under federal law, we are required to provide information related to income from our models. Working on Webcam, you are considered an independent contractor (1099). Each January, you will receive a statement of earnings from us. As an independent contractor, you are responsible for filing and paying your taxes appropriately. If you fail to do this, you may receive questions from the IRS about why you didn't make your payments, and you may even be asked to pay some fines. You can, however, write off a number of things when filing your taxes: internet connection, computer and webcam equipment, electricity, and more. An accountant can give you more detailed information on this.

Setting up your tax settings on Webcam is done by clicking on “Tax Settings” on the left side of your page. Here, you will need to sign up as an individual or a business. Models usually sign up as individuals, unless they are employed through another business. You will then choose your status of residency, and complete information including your citizenship, your date of birth, your full name, and address. You do not need to fill out the social security number if you are a U.S. resident without citizenship. If you are not a citizen, you will only need to give your Tax ID number, which is the number that you use in your home country for tax purposes. Once you have provided all of the above information, it needs to be certified by us and completed with an e-signature. If any additional information is needed, we will send you an e-mail and you will receive a notification under “Tax Settings”.

How to change your rates

If you'd like to change your rates, go to “Change Rates” on the left side of your page. Here, you can change how much you would like to charge users per minute for private sessions with you. Please remember that the “spy rate” is always going to be $2 less per minute. You can choose the rate that you would like to use by scrolling through the list, or by requesting a custom rate that lets you set your own special rate. You should remember that choosing very high rates can often result in lower user interest.

To find out more about rates, go here(link)

Wishlist

The wishlist is a fun way for models to receive things that they want, while at the same time giving users some extra excitement by being able to spoil you! If you'd like to make your own wishlist, go to your Amazon account or create an entirely new one. Remember not to use your real name if you'd like to keep your details private, including your e-mail, which can display your real name. You can then add items your wishlist on Amazon and add the link to your model page!

Twitter

Working as a webcam model, you need to live by the rule “play hard-work harder”. Self-promotion is key if you want to boost your visibility and grow your fan base. Social media channels like Twitter offer you a great opportunity to do just that-and for free! If you haven't already, be sure you create a Twitter account using your Webcam name, and watch your popularity grow! Make sure that it's unique and shows off who you are. Include a sexy profile photo and emphasize your positive attributes that make you special. Once you start to follow people who are in your industry, you should start to gain a few followers yourself and you'll surely see your numbers of fans grow in no time. Be sure you stay active and tweet whenever you can! You can tweet fun, sexy pictures of yourself and retweet photos that are especially hot. Linking your Twitter account to your Webcam account is very important and will be instrumental in getting your name out there. Remind your viewers on Webcam to follow you and you'll be on your way to a solid base of followers on Twitter, too!

In order to link your Twitter account to your Webcam profile, just click on the “Twitter” link on your model dashboard. This is where you can share y

Category

To help Webcam users find you, add physical features that define you on the “category” menu, which is located on the left side of your page. This is where you can list your hair color, general appearance and ethnicity so that members can find you easier.

If you want to make changes to your contact info, follow the link “My Contact Info”, which is on the left side of your page. This is where you can edit your e-mail address. Remember that we first need to verify this address before it can be officially updated.

How do I receive payment?

How to update your tax settings on your model page

Webcam models, as self-employed contractors, receive compensation for their online services. Before we can send you payment, we need you to send us a W9 form (U.S. models) or a W8 form (international models). If you are in the U.S., you will get a 1099-MISC from us each year. We do not take out taxes from your payment ourselves, so you are responsible for doing this and paying your taxes on your own.

Once you log into your model console as a newbie, you need to fill out your tax settings. This is done by following the “Provide Tax Information” link or by going to you “Tax Settings”. These options will give you a few easy steps to follow so that you can quickly fill out your W8 or W9 form. After you fill this information out, our accounting team will look it over and approve it. If we find any problems or need more information, we will contact you and let you know what we need.

Please remember that we cannot compensate you for your work unless the tax settings are approved and activated.

How to set up your payout method

After your tax settings are completed, you need to set up your payout method and options. This is done by following the “Payment Settings” link on your page. Choose the payout option that you prefer and click “next”. After doing this, you will be directed to your payout host's site, where you will fill out the necessary information to set up an account with one of our partner companies. For more information on choosing a payout method, go to (link).

You can find payment support and instructions below, should you need it. You can also find information on this topic here(link)

For your payment settings to be approved, they will need to be reviewed and accepted by our payment department. This will not be complete until your tax settings are 100% approved, so please remember to do this first. Additionally, the payout host Payoneer requires that you send us an e-mail to complete the process, so don't forget to do this step. If you feel unsure about whether you need to do this, please e-mail us at(link)

Payment methods that we offer

Our payout schedule is carried out on a weekly basis from Monday to Sunday. This includes all payment methods except the CMB paycard, for which we will make a transfer by the next Friday. For more details and support on each of the payout methods, follow the “Payment Settings” link on your page, or look through the payment options summary written below.

Our payout options:

• Dwolla
• CMB Paycard
• Payoneer

Please remember that we cannot pay you via direct deposit or checks sent by mail.

Payment options summary

This is an overview of the types of methods that we offer for your payout. If you'd like to get some more in-depth information regarding both tax and payment options, then please take a look at the appropriate links on your model page. To find out more about the payment method that you are currently signed up for or to change it, click on “Payment Settings”. If you'd like to get more information on payment methods, go here(link)

• Payoneer.com

This offers a direct deposit option or a Pay Card for both International and U.S. models. The site requires a minimum of $20 for payout to be carried out. To use this method, you need to register directly through your model page. DON'T REGISTER ON YOUR OWN. If you do register outside of Webcam, you will unfortunately get rejected. This is probably the easiest method for International models. The set-up process is slightly long, but it is a very good option because of its low fees and the fact that you can CHOOSE to receive money through an actual credit card or a bank transfer.

• Dwolla.com

This offers a direct deposit in the U.S., with a minimum of $1 for payout to be carried out. For U.S. models, this is probably the easiest method. Dwolla's fees are low and your payment is transferred straight to your bank account. Unfortunately, the site does not offer services internationally.

• CMBPaycard.com

This is a daily pay option with requires a minimum of $35 for payout to be carried out. Out of the three, the CMB paycard is the quickest, with the most flexibility. In order to get paid, you “pay yourself”, by cashing out whenver you would like to. This is great because you can choose when you would like to receive your payment—daily, weekly, or monthly! After you are paid out, your money will appear on your card in less than 2 (business) days. It should be pointed out, though, that each time you cash out, there is a charge of $4.95 in processing fees. To find out more about their rules and practices, please take a look at the CMBPaycard.com website. Unfortunately, this service does not work internationally.

Tax and Payment Help and Support

If you need any help with your tax or payment settings, please e-mail(email). We can let you know about the status of your tax or payment settings approval and activation.

What percentage do models get?

How popular is Webcam?

Our site is extremely popular, and growing every day. Our users are located all over the world and together make up over 5 million members. Most of our users visit us on a regular basis and are always looking to come back for more. Right when you begin your work with us, you'll see how many eager members are waiting to spend their money on you.

How can models increase their popularity and number of followers?

The best thing you can do is promote yourself as much as you can, in as many places as you can. This is key to making it big on Webcam. You can do this through social media like Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, using your Webcam model alias. Use your Webcam account to link your social media accounts and vice-versa. Upload photos that show off your fun, sexy, and exciting side, and make sure you stay engaged with your followers or potential followers. Let your fans know when you'll be online so they can get on the site at the same time that you do.

When you're online and on camera, be sure you look for opportunities for tips from your viewers! These can include things like videos, calendars, snap chat time, or other fun prizes. Keep your audience engaged and you'll get a steady following in no time.

• I want to promote myself online, but I have certain regions blocked- Blocking on social media is a little different than blocking on our site. If someone from a blocked Webcam region tries to reach your profile through a link on social media, they will not be able to open your profile. If you are afraid of security-related issues, you shouldn't shy away from self-promotion, but try to be more choosy in which pictures you post, for example.
