How to Host a Group Show on Cam4

What is a group show?
Group shows give broadcasters a chance to have a private show with multiple viewers.

When the Group show begins, everyone who has purchased an entry ticket has access to the show and can watch, listen and chat with the broadcaster.

How much does a Group Show cost?
You can set the cost of each ticket: 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 or 300 tokens.

How to start a group show?

Create a group show, describe your show, define the price and duration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Launch your “Ticket Sale” by setting a “Ticket Goal” or set a “Time Limit” if you have an large audience of viewers and hitting a ticket goal might be too easy.

Time Limit –  Once the grouped show has been created and launched, the countdown starts, you have a set amount of time to complete the sale of tickets to hit your goal.

What happens if I sold tickets and the goal is not reached?
If the predetermined goal is not reached, you can restart the countdown, so you give extra time (5 or 10 min more).

How do I modify and extend my countdown?

Click on the red “Cancel” button. You will then get a confirming the canel.

 

 

 

 

 

If  you have almost reached the goal, do not cancel the group show, confirm your group show in order to validate the sale of your tickets.

To confirm your group show, let the countdown end, the group show will start automatically.

However, In the event that the show is canceled for x reason, the tickets purchased by the voyeurs are refunded immediately.

How to optimize the sale of your group shows?
As soon as you broadcast:
• Add value and exclusivity to your show group. To do this, show up dressed in lingerie (no direct nude).
• Greet everyone by announcing the sale of group show tickets at 50 tokens for 15 minutes (recommended). You can always set the cost of your ticket to 10, 25, 50 or 100 tokens, and the duration to 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes.
• ANSWER and be chatty to set the mood with your viewers by always having control of the conversations on your chat.
• STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR OBJECTIVE: ticket sales!
Important: do not let any viewers devalue your session, for that silence (or ban) the bad comments as well as the viewers who question the price of the ticket.

Why do I have to silence or ban a bad viewer immediately?
When you let viewers bash your show, you can have potential ticket buyers who hesitate and not buy tickets.

BRAVO you sold grouped show tickets!!
Tips :
• Thank the ticket buyers live, followed by the question “Who’s next, to complete the goal, so we can all go on a group show together?!”
• You can also offer private shows for those who wish.
• Make it easier and increase your chips by using your Lush Lovense (sex toy) during your group shows!!!

Your Tip Menu

Launch Your Very Own Custom Tip Menu to Improve Engagement and Increase Earnings!

Tell your fans what to tip for and earn more tokens, set up yours now!

What Is It?
The CAM4 Tip Menu is a fun tool that allows you to create a customized list of actions with the corresponding token amount a viewer needs to tip for you to perform the action during your performance. We’ve recently upgraded our tipping menu functionality to allow for simple set up and easy viewer access. Performers who’ve launched their own tip menus have reported heightened activity and ultimately an increase in show earnings! 

Benefits of Creating a Tip Menu:

  • The tip menu is an easily customizable list that you control and can change / update at any time
  • Your viewers know exactly what they can tip for each performance action without having to ask
  • You won’t need to set up an HTML bio
  • The tip menu is easily accessible via your profile during every show
  • Less chatty viewers are more likely to engage

Quick & Easy Tip Menu Set Up
Locate the Tip Menu feature near the Game Center and enter each action and the required tipping amount. *Please note you must enter at least four (4) actions to activate your tipping menu for viewers

You can add up to 12 tip menu options; click the trash can icon to the right of each option to delete and update. Once you’ve completed your list, click SAVE to activate.

You will receive a special notification in your chat window every time a viewer selects an item in your tip menu


Tip Menu Ideas
What you include on your tip menu is completely up to you, and the great thing is you can add and update the menu as you learn what your viewers want and need in your shows!  Here are some sample tip menu options to get you started:

  • Blow kisses
  • Custom shout out message
  • Flash boobs
  • Oil rubdown
  • Spanking
  • Twerk
  • Insert toy for 15 seconds

Get creative here – the sky really is the limit!

The Key to Tip Menu Success
Our best advice for making the tip menu work for you is to keep your list of options fresh and creative while continuously directing viewers to it during your show.

We’re Here to Help You Win!
If you need help setting up your tip menu or are looking for ways to maximize this fun tool, please reach out to support@CAM4.com at any time and one of our experts will guide you.

Attract Spies with a Solo Private Show

Make It Easier To Stream On More Than One Cam Site 

If you broadcast on CAM4 and another site (or sites!) at the same time, it can be hard to pay attention to the chat in all of them at once – especially if you go private with a viewer!

Sometimes going private on one cam site even means pausing your streams on the others, and losing your viewers.

Now, you can use the Solo Private Show feature to help maintain your audience on all the sites at once. If you go private with a viewer while you’re on another cam site, start a Solo Private Show on CAM4. Your audience will see that you are in Private and can spy on your CAM4 broadcast as usual, but you can focus on the viewer paying you to go private.

HOW TO SET IT UP

When you are live on CAM4 select “Private Show Settings” on the bottom left side of the broadcast window.

This allows you to start a private show with no viewer which

  • Gives you privacy for the show.
  • Keeps your directory position and viewers in CAM4.
  • Offers an increase in your revenue by having spy viewers.

You will find a new tab under your private show settings called Solo to set this up

Once you have picked all your settings and pressed the “Start” button you will see some changes to you menu below your broadcast image. This allows you to see how long you have been hosting a solo show and what you have gained from your “Spy” viewers.

  • # of Spies
  • Fan Club Spies
  • Show earnings
  • Spy earnings
  • End Show

Auto-Pause is designed to give you time to prepare to be in front of your regular viewers again after your Private or Group show ends.

Go grab some food or something to drink, clean up, use the washroom, or change your outfit. You have 5 minutes to do whatever you need to do before going live on cam for your viewers again.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Start your Private or Group show as you normally would.  At the end of the show, your stream will pause for a maximum of 5 minutes .

What YOU will see:


What your VIEWERS will see:

The stream is resumable at any time by clicking on the “Resume Stream” button. 

If you do not resume the stream during the first 5 minutes, the stream ends automatically.

BOOST: The Ultimate Way to Grow your Audience

 

 

 

 

 

Struggling to build an audience? Just logged on and want to kickstart your show?

Now you can BOOST your room higher in the directory for just 25 tokens!

CAM4 has put YOU in the drives seat, giving YOU the ability to increasing your rank on the page so you  will get more viewers in your show!

How it Works:  

BOOST will display on your screen once you start a LIVE broadcast and is visible to you and your viewers.

This feature (once purchased) will  position you within the top percent of cams currently on the site for the duration of the BOOST.

Click on the “BOOST” button to start the feature.

It costs 25 tokens to BOOST your cam for 5 minutes, or until you have gained 10 new viewers in your room (to a max of 30 mins).

When you click on “Proceed” the cost of the BOOST will be deducted from your CAM4 account and your cam will be re-positioned on the directory page. 

What Happens when BOOST starts?

  1. You will see a message in your chat letting you know who purchased the boost.
  2. There is a bar on your broadcast window that will slowly fill up as the time runs out. 
  3. The BOOST button is now inactive, this mean you cannot click on it. The text has also changed to read” Boost Active” and includes a count down. 

PRO TIP
When your boost is active, more people will be seeing your thumbnail. This is your moment to try to attract more viewers to your show! Switch it up with an alluring pose, a sexy strip tease, wet t-shirt show, or closeups. Anything you can do to attract the attention of the new audience you now have access to.

What Happens When the BOOST ends?

  1. The button will say “Boost” again become active enabling you to click on it again.
  2. You will see a message in the chat window that will tell you that the BOOST has ended and display how many viewers you gained during that BOOST.
  3. Your directory position will change, but not necessarily back to your original position – because your new position will reflect increases in your viewers due to the boost.

Viewers can BOOST you too!!

Viewers are always looking for ways to  support their favorite broadcasters. Why not encourage them to use the Boost feature on you?  With their help, boosting can really make a difference in your performance and exposure on CAM4.
