Usernames on CAM4 are color-coded to help you identify who’s typing to you.

Here’s a breakdown of all of the username colors you’ll see while broadcasting  on CAM4 and what they mean to you.

Legend:

Performer: This is how you will show up when you type in your chat room.

Gold Member: These members have purchased a gold membership, which gives them access to exclusive site features and contests. This color is not related to token balance.

Moderator: Performers (including you) can give members the ability to use room moderation tools such as silence, kick, and ban. This ability is for that particular room only, it is not site wide.

Basic Member: These members have a registered CAM4 account but no gold member features. 

Admin: These are CAM4 staff, providing assistance to every member and making sure that the site rules are being followed. Admins will never ask for your password on CAM4.

Coach:  A select number of CAM4 staff there to guide performers and help them during a broadcast.

Notifications

You will also get these notifications when a certain member has entered your chat room:

A member of the Admin team has entered your chat.

A member of the CAM4 staff coaching team has entered your chat.

A gold member has entered your chat (the member can also turn off this notification in their account settings).

That’s all for this lesson!

By pressing ‘Broadcast’ on the CAM4 homepage, you are creating your very own show where people can chat live with you. While there is always the element of surprise, I have made this guide to prepare you for the questions people will ask you in your chat room on CAM4.

Requests for private shows.
As a new broadcaster, it feels great when your viewers want to take you into a private chat and they are a lot of fun to do. Its a great way to get 1 on 1 time with a viewer and turn them into a long time fan.

These are the types of show requests you can expect:

CAM4 private show
-You make tokens per min 
-You set your own rate per min under the ‘settings’ button in your broadcast window
-Default rate is 24 tokens per min/6 tokens per min for spy viewers
-You can choose to allow spy viewers
-Spy viewers can only see you, no audio and they can not chat. 
-Cam2cam option where you can both see and hear your viewer while in private. (Spy’s cannot see or hear your cam2cam viewer)
-Viewers can tip you if they like
-You get site support
-You keep your place on the homepage.

CAM4 group show
-You sell tickets during your public show
-You set the price, length of show, and number of tickets you want to sell
-You set your timer for ticket sales (You have max 30min to sell tickets to your show)
-The show starts when all tickets are sold
-If the timer runs out before you sell all your tickets you still have the option to do the show. If you decide NOT to do the group show, ticket sale tokens are returned to the viewers
-Viewers can tip you during the show if they like
-You get site support
-You keep your place on the homepage.

Off-site private shows
-You lose your place on the homepage
-No site support
-Chance of fraud increases
-Could have your Skype account banned if you are caught doing a private show.

Option:

Instead of going to another site to do a private show, you can use the password protected room feature to sell blocks of time to this viewer. That way you can still offer viewers a deal, have the privacy of a true private room,    and you don’t have to leave the protection of CAM4!

Dozens of private messages.
Viewers love sending performers private messages when they are in public chat. It’s exciting to have a private conversation with you while you have hundreds of viewers watching.

Option:

If this becomes overwhelming simply say to your viewers that you are not taking PM’s (private messages) right now. Politely smile and tell them to chat in your public room. “Guys! The more I type the less I can perform!” That usually works.

“Do you need me to be your moderator?”
These viewers may only be trying to help, but I recommend waiting till you get to know a viewer a bit before you make them your “Mod”.  Moderators have the ability to Kick, Silence, Ignore, or Ban anyone in your room, so you want to pick someone with your best interests at heart.

Option:

After a few shows you will get to know your viewers a bit. You should be the one who approaches a viewer about being your “Mod”, not the other way around.

“Do you take PayPal bb?“
This one is a no-no. PayPal gives your full real name when you do a transaction and that is just not safe. You will be banned for advertising or accepting any forms of 3rd party payment.

Option:

Viewers have the option of using PayPal when buying tokens, the option is right on the payment menu.

Millions of requests bb….
Some of these will be in the form of a question and some will be just words over and over. Whatever they are just remember every person in your chat room counts towards your total viewers and that moves you up the homepage.

Options:

Put a list of things you will do in your broadcast window text box, this wont stop them from requesting but at least the ones that are serious will know how to get their wish granted.

Keep it light and politely say “Oh looks like someone wants to take me private.” or “You first!”. The more you keep things light and fun the better.

“What do you do in your shows/private shows?”
This is a common question you will get from viewers who want to get to know you better. It is best to have a general idea of where your boundaries are so you don’t get put on the spot.

Option:

On your CAM4 profile there is a section where you fill out your bio, this is the perfect place to talk about what your fans can expect during your shows. If you are not comfortable doing something state it here and stick to it.

“What outfits/costumes/toys do you have bb?”
Lots of your viewers get turned on at the sight of your toys and sexy things you have to wear.

Option:

The best way to show your collection is to take pictures of all your outfits/toys for your CAM4 photo gallery that viewers can browse through. You can even create fun names for your outfits/toys.

Tokens! Compliments! and More….
Your viewers will shower you with kind words and tips to show their appreciation. Make sure you show your appreciation back with a smile and a simple thank you.

Creating your unique CAM4 profile

First, let’s get all the technical info out of the way so we can move on to the fun creative part.

How you do it:

1. Design your images using programs like
   –Pizap, Gimp, Pixlr etc… These are all free program options if you don’t have existing image editing software on your computer.
2. Upload your finished images to hosting sites like Imgaeshack , some sites like Imgur won’t allow you to post your images to adult sites like CAM4 so that’s why I recommend using Imageshack.
3. Copy the ‘Direct Image Link’ from Image shack and paste it into the CAM4 profile toolbar seen below, you will find this under ‘Profile Info’ in your Account Options.

4. We recommend making all your images the same width – 700

5. Press Save Changes and you’re done!

Profile design tips

Your profile is a great communication tool that can do some of the talking for you. Follow these simple design guidelines that will allow you to keep your focus on your show, instead of answering the same question over and over while you’re trying to perform.

1. Have both SFW (Safe for work) and NSFW (Non-safe for work) images on your profile. This way CAM4 can display your SFW profile images to people who have adult content firewalls up on their computer.
2. Use your CAM4 Calendar to let people know when you’re online. 
   

3. Use your image gallery like a catalogue to show your viewers what outfits/costumes/toys you have. That way they can flip through it instead of having you drag everything out of your closet. I would even name your images so they can refer to them and you know which images they’re talking about.

4.  Add a price list, but instead of writing 25tkns for titty flash, etc… Use pics to describe what you want! This will increase the chances of viewers reading it

5. And finally, your bio ? Here are a few things you can write about yourself.

-How long have you been performing?
-What do you do in your public shows? Private shows?
-Is there a special way I can show my appreciation to you?
-Do you have any favorite CAM4 gifts you want?
-What are your room rules?
-Social media! Tell them to follow you and what you tweet about!
-What are your favorite things to do on cam? Favorite props? Toys?

You are the star so make it all about you!
