The secrets to becoming a TOP webcam model on CAM4
Ten proven tips for more viewers, more interaction, and more tokens — without unnecessary complexity. MyShop and individual videos are being phased out; focus on your Activity Feed and Fanclub for reach and stable income.
Tip: work with clear goals, a clear Tip Menu, and a consistent posting cadence on your Feed.
1) Create an irresistible profile
Your profile is your landing page. Show in 5 seconds who you are, what you do, and when you are live.
Bio
Short and powerful, with your vibe and boundaries. Add your broadcast schedule and a clear call-to-action.
Images
A clear profile picture + 2–4 recent photos that show your style. Avoid busy backgrounds.
Clarity
Put your Tip Menu and (micro) goals in your description so viewers know directly how they can participate.
Put 6–10 fixed items in your profile description and repeat them verbally during your show. Link to your goals where possible.
Small tease25 tokens quick boost
Pose / close-up50 tokens
Dance / hype moment100 tokens
Wheel spin / mini-game150 tokens
Oil moment250 tokens
Solo highlight500 tokens
Group show ticketvariable
Private showper minute
6) Pay-Per Text
Pay per Text: earn from DMs without negotiating
How to use it
Set a fixed price per private message and mention this in your bio or Feed. Use it for short questions, personal responses, and quick requests — within your boundaries and platform rules.
Price indication
Start simple and test: many models start between 1-2 tokens/message. Increase when busy, decrease for more volume.
Useful example sentences
“Want a personal shoutout? Pay per Text is on.”
“Ask your question in DM — 1-2 tokens per message.”
Use Token Keno, Spin the Wheel, and Roll The Dice for extra excitement and income. Let viewers bet tokens and link creative rewards to outcomes (task, clothing item off, special interaction).
Short recap: strong profile, clear goals, smart use of private/group shows, keep Feed + Fanclub active, games & toys for energy, and read your chat with indicators. Consistency wins.
Although the UK is not subject to DAC7, we are updating our processes to align with global standards, including similar European regulations like DAC7. These changes mean we need to collect additional information from broadcasters/creators to process payments. Providing accurate information is essential to avoid issues with payouts.
Why are we collecting this information?
To comply with international transparency standards, we are required to gather specific details from our users. These regulations aim to prevent tax fraud and ensure payments are processed correctly. While DAC7 applies to the EU, aligning with these standards allows us to maintain a consistent and secure platform for all users, including those in the UK.
What information do we collect?
We may request details such as:
Your full name
Your address
Your National Insurance Number (NIN)
These details are necessary for compliance with tax regulations and transparency standards. Your information will only be used for these purposes and shared with tax authorities as legally required.
What is a National Insurance Number, and where can you find it?
Your National Insurance Number (NIN) is a unique identifier issued by the UK government for tax and social security purposes.
You can find it on:
Payslips
Tax return documents
Your personal tax account on the HMRC website
National Insurance card (if issued)
Official letters about tax, pensions, or benefits
What if you don’t have a fixed address?
If you’re traveling or don’t have a permanent residence, determining your tax residency can be more complex. Generally, your tax residency is the country where you spend more than six months (183 days) in a year. We recommend reviewing the tax laws of the countries where you’ve stayed to identify your tax residency.
Does this mean authorities will know what you do on the platform?
No. We only report payment transactions based on the information you provide. The nature of your activities on the platform will not be disclosed.
What happens if you don’t provide the required information?
Starting January 2025, providing this information will be mandatory to continue receiving payments. If the required details aren’t submitted, we won’t be able to process your payouts. Submit your information on time to avoid any interruptions.
When and how do you submit your information?
We will begin collecting this information in December. Once you log in, you’ll receive instructions on how to securely submit your details.
What happens to your information?
Your information will be used exclusively to comply with regulations like DAC7 and similar global standards. It will be shared with relevant tax authorities as required by law and handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
We have heard your feedback and elevated your DM experience.
To support you as you become familiar with messenger’s great features, we have provided you with an easy to follow guide to all of the Chat and Media functionality, and so much more!
The first thing you’ll notice about this new communication tool is how much easier it is to use, as well as it providing far more than just the ability to chat!
BENEFITS OF USING CAM4 MESSENGER
Increased Privacy – Create connections with only the users that you choose though chat and Private shows.
Filtering Options – Easy access to important information and content.
Monetization – Earn tokens while chatting through tipping, selling content, gifting, and Private shows.
Mobile Friendly – Now it’s easy to use our new Messenger tool on the go!
CHAT UPGRADES
As well as the common features, such as saving, replying, deleting, adding Gifs, and Emojis, you now have additional tools to make messages stand out and have control over who messages you. Let’s break down a few of them for you.
WINKS Wink’s are sent from Non-gold users who would like to chat with you. The ability to type in the chat will only be enabled once you reply to their wink.
Gold users can message anyone they want – No winks needed!
SELL CONTENT
With this feature within the Media functionality of Messenger, you can add content from your ‘Media’ directly into the chat, allowing the user to purchase and enjoy.
FAN CLUBS You can share your Fan Club Content via the chat. This will allow you to promote your ‘Fan Club’, and the user can simply click on the link to view it. They will then be prompted to join, and once they have, the content will be visible to them in the chat.
HOST A PRIVATE SHOW
Offer Private Shows at any time through Messenger!
Don’t worry about going live on your profile, your users can now request a Private Show directly with you from Messenger!
This super function allows both creators and users to enjoy some alone time, without the possibility of others spying. Turn on Cam2Cam or keep it a 1-way private show – whichever you both want to explore.
You can start the Private Show yourself by simply clicking on the camera icon at the top right of the chat window – another great feature to make the process quick and easy.
Remember – once the show has ended, the user can rate the show, a great way to gain feedback. Also, the earnings gained from the show will appear in the chat, giving you instant insight without having to review your account.
SAFETY AND INFORMATION
REPORTING USERS
Fill out and submit a report form to our support team to investigate. Note: this will not remove the user’s ability to contact you.
BAN USERS This facility will mean that the user will be removed from your chat and also banned from your shows. The user will still be able to see the chat, as well as any media they have purchased from you, but they won’t be able to contact you. Additionally, your username will no longer appear in any searches by the user.
CHAT BOT “SPARK”
Receive answers right away to questions you have about messenger, your shows, the site, and rules right from your chat window!
ORGANIZING WITH FILTERS
Use filtering to keep your messenger nice and organized. Grouping and saving important messages is a breeze and you can also select and delete multiple messages to manage your inbox!
EDIT THREADS Remove unwanted chat session in bulk so your inbox isn’t cluttered with old DMs.
MEDIA All of the media you send or receive in the chat will appear in the Media Tab. The content can be sorted by ‘Unlocked’, ‘Photos’ and ‘Videos’, making it super easy to find!
SAVING You fans send you important information that you may want to easily find later. While in your chat with them, click on the “Saved” tab to see all messages you saved from that user. Messages and content that you save, will appear chronologically.
We think the new CAM4 Messenger is the perfect way to enhance the interface between creators and users, making it easier for everyone to stay in touch.

NEED A HAND ? CAM4 is excited to introduce a brand-new function within your CAM4 broadcasts. With our NEW ChatBot tool you will be able to multitask while giving your viewers that special chat room experience unique from other broadcasters.
WHAT IS A CHAT BOT ? A ChatBot is a conversational tool that can assist your LIVE chat with ease and free up those busy hands of yours… think of it as your very own personalized moderator. By utilizing the ChatBot function during your CAM4 broadcast it will help automate messaging so you can remain focused and give your audience your undivided attention.
A few examples and benefits of what a ChatBot can be helpful with include : WELCOME BOT Generate a specific “Welcome Message” visible to NEW viewers who join your room. Note, this message has a 5 second delay when someone comes in.
TIPPING BOT Send out a “Thank You” message when a certain tip amount has been received or a token goal achieved. Including different chat responses for different token thresholds TIMED / AUTO NOTIFICATION BOT Create a set of predefined messages that will be displayed in your Public Chat at predetermined time increments. Note, atleast 3 messages from viewers must be sent in the chat for these messages to begain.
Examples – Updates on Room Goals – Tip Menu changes – Fan Club / My Shop offerings and discounts – Notifying your audience of Room Rules – Promoting Social Media handles – Promoting Wishlists (CAM4 Swag Store, Amazon, Stock Room, etc) – Upcoming shows and cam Schedule
With an endless list of customizable options and 3 unique bot commands, CAM4’s NEW ChatBot feature is a sure way to keep your show flowing, all while doing the work for you and keeping your viewers in the loop and their tokens tipped.
Let’s have a look at what it will look like when you start Regular Streaming:
Step 3: Video / Audio Settings
It is important that you give permissions for CAM4 to use your video and your microphone. Once you give these permissions, CAM4 will detect your video and audio devices:
You don’t have to worry about the aspect ratio of your video. This will be chosen automatically, based on the ideal proportions for your hardware.
Usually you don’t have to tinker with these settings and CAM4 will detect the right devices automatically. But here you can select your preferred video and audio input if you wish, or choose to use an external encoder like OBS.
You can flip your image horizontally by toggling Mirror video.
Step 4: Show Details
Underneath your audio and video settings, you will find your show details:
Category
Here you can select whether you will broadcast by yourself (Solo) or with another, verified user. Depending on your gender, you’ll be shown the options (Male-Female, Male-Male, or Female-Female).
Select the appropriate category.
Mode
By default this is set to public. If you are an approved CAM4 broadcaster (2257/ID approved) then you can choose to have a password protected room.
Step 5: Set your tags
Tags are a great way to communicate to potential viewers what to expect from your show.
Choose tags that are appropriate to what your show is all about. This will make sure viewers will get to see what they want, and you get viewers that want to see what you want to show!
We recommend picking about 3 tags.
Step 6: Check your stream quality
Below the area where your video is shown, you’ll see information about your stream quality and FPS:
It’s useful to give these a quick glance before you start your broadcast, just to make sure that your video quality is to your viewers satisfaction.
Stream Quality Indicates any stream issues so you can fix them before you start your broadcast. The light bulb shows troubleshooting suggestions.
FPS – Your cameras frames per second (FPS). 25-30 FPS is ideal.
When you see a low Stream quality and/or FPS, it may be worthwhile to do a speedtest and/or a reset of your router.
Step 7: Go Live!
Once your settings are correct you can go live and start your show!
