Do not use, Getting Started

Pay per Text

Earn from DMs: with Pay-Per-Text (PPT), you get tokens for messages and media — set it up, test it, and let your inbox work for you.

Pay‑Per‑Text on CAM4: Get Paid for Messages and Media

Set a fixed price on DMs and uploads, prioritize Fanclub members, and earn through — even when you’re not live.

Tip: communicate your PPT‑rates in your bio or Feed and pin a post with “how it works”.

Short Demo

Why Pay‑Per‑Text Works

  1. Get paid for your time — every message or media file can earn tokens, even that quick “hello”.
  2. Build your inner circle — give Fanclub members free or discounted DMs/media and charge a higher rate for the public — this builds loyalty.
  3. Full control — you determine prices and what counts (messages, media) and who you prioritize.
  4. Premium feel — paying fans get guaranteed attention and exclusive connection.
  5. Insight — see exactly what PPT yields and adjust your strategy.

Setup: Super Simple

Step 1: Basics

Make sure you are Broadcast Approved and enable Pay‑Per‑Text in your settings.

Step 2: While Streaming

PPT instellingen tijdens stream

  1. Go live — log in and start your broadcast.
  2. Open chat‑settings — click on the gear (top right in your broadcast window) and scroll to the PPT‑section.
  3. Turn on pay per message — activate “Receive Message” and set amounts.
    Example: 5 tokens for public, 1 token for Fanclub (or free to stimulate sign-ups).
  4. Turn on pay for media — activate “Receive Media” with separate amounts.
    Example: 10 tokens for public uploads, 2 tokens for Fanclub‑uploads.
  5. No ‘Save’ needed — changes are applied immediately.

Step 3: Set Up in Messenger in Advance

Want to get everything ready before you go live? Open the Messenger via the chat‑icon on your profile and set your PPT‑settings there. Everything is synchronized platform‑wide.

View Your Results

In your Broadcaster Dashboard, you can see per day what DMs and media yield. Check the Tip History tab and compare strategies: does media work better, or Fanclub‑messages?

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I only charge for media? — Yes. You choose whether to charge for messages, media or both.
  • What if a viewer has too few tokens? — They will receive a notification to buy tokens before the message or media is sent.
  • Are Fanclub‑messages free by default? — Yes, but you can adjust that. Set a few tokens or leave it free for conversion.

Summary: turn on PPT, distinguish between public and Fanclub, test prices, communicate clearly, and monitor your results. Consequence wins — every interaction becomes a chance to earn.
