Important site tools made just for you. We hope this area will help grow your business on CAM4.

Unlocking the Power of the new Activity Feed

The Activity Feed is CAM4’s latest and most exciting tool yet! Designed to help you, the creator, to effortlessly showcase and monetize your offline content into one simple feed, serving as an all-in-one platform to share updates, post photos, monetize your videos, and grow your audience—similar to the layout of most social media platforms. 

With complete control over your feed, you can curate the content you want fans to see, reflecting your unique style and giving your content the visibility it deserves.

Let’s dive into how to use it effectively!


What is the Activity Feed?

The Activity Feed lets you transfer content from your Galleries and My Shop areas into a dynamic, interactive feed displayed prominently on your profile.  By leveraging this feature, you can:

  • Keep fans engaged with daily updates, curate content, and add exclusive posts.
  • Promote and monetize your recorded video content
  • Promote Fanclub signups and special promotions

How It Works

1. Customize Your Profile

Your profile is a visitor’s first impression—make it count! Add a captivating SFW profile picture and cover image to reflect your personal brand. A visually polished profile helps turn casual visitors into loyal fans.

2. Transition Your Content to the Feed

  • Your existing Galleries and My Shop content will automatically be converted into posts, updated every 24 hours.
  • Initially, these posts will be visible only to you, giving you the opportunity to curate and refine your feed before launching it to your audience.

Once the feed is live, Galleries and My Shop will be retired and no longer displayed in seperate locations.   *Rest assured: purchased videos will remain accessible to buyers.

3. Launch Exclusive Content with Your Fan Club

Boost your income by offering exclusive perks through your Fan Club subscription:

  • Create a Fanclub or simply update your existing  Fan Club via the Broadcaster Dashboard.
  • Provide premium content that club members will continuously engage with, building a dedicated audience within your Fan Club. 

4. Monetize Your Video and Image Content

Create and share video and image posts that your audience can purchase, offering exclusive content to paying fans or subscribers while boosting your revenue. Provide VIP content to encourage memberships and maximize your earnings.

5. Your Media Library

The new Media Vault consolidates your photos and videos into one convenient location. Previously uploaded media is already there, ready to be posted directly to your feed.

6. Keep Your Content Fresh

  • Consistently share creative, diverse, and enticing posts to attract and retain fans.
  • Use the feed to highlight different aspects of your talent and build a robust collection of content that keeps fans coming back for more.

Why Did CAM4 Launch The Activity Feed To  Creators First?

Before the Activity Feed is rolled out to all users, creators are getting exclusive early access, giving you the opportunity to:

  • Explore and familiarize yourself with the platform’s new design.
  • Curate your feed to match your personal style and organize your content seamlessly.
  • Fine-tune and add exclusive content to effectively monetize your feed.

By preparing in advance, you’ll maximize the impact of your Activity Feed when it’s unveiled to your fans.


Tips for Success

  • Set Preferences Early: Take a few minutes to customize your notifications and get comfortable with the new settings.
  • Check Regularly: Make it a habit to monitor your feed daily to stay updated and respond to fan activity.
  • Engage Promptly: Interact with comments and messages quickly to build stronger connections with your fans.
  • Post Consistently: Frequent updates keep your audience engaged and help attract new fans. 

Why You’ll Love the Activity Feed

  • Increased Visibility: Fans can easily discover your latest and historical posts.
  • Enhanced Productivity: Manage all your updates in one place.
  • User-Friendly Design: The platform is intuitive and familiar, making it easy to navigate.

Ready to take your content to the next level? Start curating your Activity Feed today and prepare for a seamless launch to your fans. Let your creativity shine and watch your audience grow!

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.

Auto Pause after a Private or Group 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. 

Private Show requests are not available while your show is paused.

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 of 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.

What your video stats are trying to tell you.

Stats are a powerful indicator of what you are doing right when it comes to making and selling content for your fans. So, your CAM4 ‘My Shop’ was carefully crafted to be easy to use, and offer you focused stats that reflect viewer satisfaction with the videos they’ve purchased from you.

cam4-my-shop-profile-final-english

Your ‘My Shop’ also includes shareable links for your videos to be used on social media, and the ability to control the order your videos are displayed on your profile.

Your Stats

new ststs!


Understanding your stats 

Everyone knows that high stats are great, but it’s the low stats that tell us the most about what’s going on. In these next 2 examples I am going to show you possible reasons you could be getting low numbers on stats.

Video #1 – Your video has noticeably low Likes compared to your sales and views.

  • This could mean:
  1. Check your video quality! Is there good lighting? Can we hear you properly? Do you look happy to be IN the video? These things affect viewer satisfaction so make sure you would like the video yourself if you were watching.
  2. You have done a great job at marketing this video and attracting viewers…but maybe not the right ones. Double check that you have used relevant tags/title/description for this video so you are attracting the right audience.
  3. Look at your price vs. length of video. Did you make a 1 min video and charge 50$? If you did it better be amazing! Remember, quantity of sales will make you more money in the end over a high sale price.


Video #2.
People are buying, even your likes are ok…but your Views are almost the same as your total number of sales.

  • This could mean:
  1. You might have over sold but under delivered on this video. It’s a hard truth but a great lesson to learn for next time.
  2. Watch your video again and see how many times you try to engage your viewers with eye contact, changing your cam angle, and giving viewers the feeling that you love what you’re doing. These things form a connection between you and your audience and if it’s just not there, they won’t watch it again.
  3. This may be a video production issue. Is your audio way to loud? Can we hear you at all? Does your video start and cut off in weird spots? Is the color balance and auto focus of your cam going crazy?

Film making #ProTips

~Ask yourself “Would I watch my video?” “Would I pay for my video?”

  • ~I know it can be weird at first, but WATCH YOUR OWN VIDEOS!
  • ~Don’t feel like you have to talk in your videos. Some of the hottest, sexiest videos are ones where all you hear is the breathing and moaning of the performer.
  • ~Try to keep background music to a minimum for both legal and viewer personal music taste reasons.
  • ~Make your videos roughly 5-10 min in length. This doesn’t sound like a long time, but it is if you’re trying to hold someone’s attention for that long.
  • ~A great video can be filmed on a cell phone in a train station bathroom. Good content is good content, regardless of production value.
  • ~Make sure you are having fun filming your videos! Just like camming, your viewers will be able to tell if you’re enjoying yourself.
