It is quite popular among cam girls to create additional material to doing just shows, which allows them to earn a little bit more money. Each cam site will have their own specific guidelines as to what and how exactly you can sell.

Video clips

Many models create videos that they can later sell to clients. These are a great way to earn some extra money, and are great if your client wants some material that is something different than your usual program, or something that is custom made just for them, usually at a higher quality as well. The most popular videos out there include the use of various different toys, anal, specific fetishes that a client might have, couple or group shows, different themes or story lines, etc. Videos are also a good option for prizes, if you're into organizing contests or gifts for the highest tipper, for example.

How to set the price

The price that you choose for a video can be tricky—the best thing you can do is to simply browse through the content that other girls on your site are selling and get an estimate of the price range you should be aiming for. It should be noted that custom videos, and videos made at the request of a specific client are typically higher priced than pre-recorded videos. Before agreeing to make a custom video with a client, you need to clearly let them know what you are and are not willing to do on camera. This should happen before any filming or payment happens.

How to record and edit your video

You can create videos by using an array of different sources. This could be your phone, webcam, DSLR camera, video recorder, or any other equipment that can create a good quality image. Once you record your video, you can edit it to your liking using Windows Movie Maker or Cyberlink Powerdirector, for example. You should take not that editing is entirely up to you—sometimes models leave their clips exactly as they are, and other times they prefer to cut out spots where they change positions, costumes, etc. It's also a good idea to add a subtle watermark to your video, such as a twitter or stage name in order for viewers to know who made it. This is especially important if your video is shared or uploaded, as it can give you extra advertising if viewers see where it originated.

Advertising and promotional material

First off, check with your cam site if you are allowed to display all of your 'for-sale' videos on your profile page. When posting them online, remember to have information like the length of the clip, the subject and content in the video, whether or not it's HD, and maybe a small preview or gif of it to give viewers a preview. Girls with many videos will often offer a discount deal for clients who are big spenders and want to buy lots of clips. Including links to your profile or social media is also a great way to help spread your popularity and boost your sales. Be sure to mention your videos and for sale content any time you're in a chat room, as well.

Here are some sites where you can post and sell your material, outside of your host cam site:

Pictures

Pic sets

Picture sets are sold in a similar fashion as videos, and they also help a model earn extra money while simultaneously helping grow her popularity. This is a very common thing for cam girls to do and many cam sites offer their models an easy way to upload photos and sell their material.

Some members may request some higher resolution/quality photos from you, but it is perfectly normal to use photos from your phone or webcam when starting out. To find out more about pic sets and how to create them, go to this tutorial: (low budget solutions)

  • Imgur
  • Twitter (protected accounts)
  • Snapchat
