How much is the typical model making per hour average?

[Anonymous]

I've been working on MFC a little over 6 months now. I average 20$ an hour. I only probably work 10 days a month. And usually work 4-5 hours each time. So yes, I'm lazy. And broke. My boyfriend is nagging me to work more, make more money, etc. Because he see girls on there making like $10000 a month or more.And he doesn't understand that they are like the top 1% of models. I know I can make more if I work more. But I am sooo unmotivated. I'm reaally trying to get the motivation up to work on a daily basis or get a schedule together and treat it like a real job. But It's hard because the longer and more I'm online I start making less an hour. Like I can make a decent amount in a short time, but then the tips just stop. Like once I've been on there for so many hours or so many days in a row, tips just come in soooo slow. It doesn't matter what I do. Does anyone else have this problem?

And also I'm wondering how much money other models make per hour. How often do you get on? How long do you stay on? Are you on everyday for a few hours? Or do you pick 3 days a week and pull 12 hour shifts? What works for you? What do you think is the best way to do it? What are the best scheduling methods for the best hourly pay? I need to put more realistic numbers in my boyfriend's head so he can stop asking why I'm not bringing in $10000 a month and why my camscore is only 1260. Because it's really getting annoying. Please and thankyou for any help.

Tell you boyfriend to sign up for Chaturbate or Streamate and let you know how it goes after a month.

Models who are making $10k a month or more are models who have been working for years. They have professionally built websites, photographers, and a lot of them have managers and helpers. They spend hours a day, every day, communicating with members, networking, creating content, planning, working, and spending money to make their shows better. One top model shared that she had to hire a maid to keep her house clean because camming was taking like 14 hours of her day and she simply did not have time to do simple housework any more. The women who can get online and make 20,000 tokens in a shift are women who have gotten online almost every day for the past 600 days and reformed their lives to be about camming.

Tell your boyfriend that if he wants you to start making that kind of money, it's going to take twenty months working eight hours a day, and camming will probably come before him. Then ask him for the cash to buy a top-of-the-line computer, props, an Internet upgrade, and enough left over to hire an expensive webmaster to build you a member's site. Also let him know that it'll be his job to manage your career and do everything you don't have time to do any more.


[Edit to add: I have hypothesized that the vast majority of all cam models do not make more than minimum wage ($10ish an hour). The fact that you can expect to make $20 an hour is much more than most models can say.]

 

[Evvie]

(If you need to make more money camming, and MFC dries up for you after a bit, I would suggest signing up for a second website [Streamate is pretty highly thought of] and a website like ELM, C4S, or MGF where you can make money selling content without getting on cam.)

 

[PlayboyMegan]

Anything is realistic. There was a girl on here that said she made top 100 almost every month and she had a 500camscore. If you are in the top 100, you are making near $10,000 a month if not more. So she was hitting those numbers with a third of the CS you have. But she probably pulled 14hour shifts.
You need to force yourself online, everyday, for 5 hours a day, 6 days a week, for two weeks. Once you get consistent and see the money, it's easy to stay consistent. Once you miss a lot of days, it's easy to become lazy. You have to mentally train yourself and you start by taking action.

There is no typical per hour, everyone's different. Higher the camscore, higher per hour.

I am lazy too, mfc is my only job, and so far this month I have worked like an hour, maybe two. I try and get online as much as possible, at the moment have just had so many things get in the way that I've taken a brief break. Next month I'm going to be hopefully all set and am going to work my arse off!

Him pressuring you into camming is about the WORST thing he can do. Sure it's great to have someone working/earning a bit more, but pressuring/nagging you to get online in front of a load of strangers who want to see you naked? It NEVER works. Jeeze, that never worked with getting me to do homework in school, it definitely doesn't work in this case, and would make me angryangry!

Try and find a routine if you can, things that'll make working more fun. You can try and get your camscore up, it may rise, your average will be higher etc.

Camming is mentally stressful. It can be the most fun EVER! When things are going all hunky dory, you're earning and have cool people in the room. This is sadly not an always thing. A lot of the time camming is kind of like one of those people you really love, but you cannot spend all your time with, when you do see them, generally it's great! But sometimes they just stress you out. Camming's the same. Now I may seem very lazy, but I still earn more camming like 5 days a month than I would slaving 5 days a week, 8 hours a day at one of the very few shitty minimum wage jobs in my area. I don't really have high reaching sky is the limit aims, sure it'd be fun, but I earn what I need to earn, the rest of the time I do what I want to do. The price of being able to do what I want to do, and live the way I want to live, is I take my clothes off for a living. I don't personally take my clothes off for a living so I can save/spend ridiculous amounts of money and spend my whole time taking said clothes off/being on cam.

I do have a set minimum aim which I have to reach each payday if I want my pay to come through. This is 20,000 tokens. Because although I'm lazy I generally live from paycheque to paycheque I make sure I earn those 20,000 tokens each half month.

Yeah, when I saw the OP, I felt kind of appalled that a bf or husband would pressure someone he's supposed to be providing moral support to in this way. First word that came into my mind was "pimp." And that's an awful awful word in my lexicon. I may be missing a nuance here, but I thought: "tell him to piss off." lol

EXACTLY!! That's what I've told him. And you know what his response was? He said do it. He's so delusional. I don't want to live to be a webcam model. I'm a full time college student. I clean, I cook, I webcam, and I'm expected to be a good girlfriend. I do all my own web design, I know enough HTML coding, but it's still time consuming. I even have a few girls that come over and work with me on cam that I pay out of my account. So I have to manage their pay, profiles, pics, vids, and all that for them because no offense to my work partners but they're technology retards.
I already supplement MFC with ELM. I get more custom video orders than I can keep up with. And I make probably 50$ an hour from the actual work I put into the things I make for ELM. I make as much money from that as I do on MFC, sometimes more. And I made a Chaturbate account yesterday to work on the same time as MFC. Just waiting for the age verification to go through. I figured since the tokens are worth the same for both sites they'd be easy to work at the same time.
So even though I plan on working more hours and setting up a schedule, my goal is to make $2000 a month from the 3 sites total. My boyfriend thinks I'm aiming way too low. I'm just trying to be realistic. Plus I don't want to have to work anymore than 20 hours a week for real, which is WAYY more than I'm currently working.

I have seen a LOT of stories quite similar to this. My ex has been known to feel similarly.

I wouldn't call camming the hardest job in the world, but there is a lot more that goes in to it than I think most people realize. I try to explain to my friends how emotionally and mentally stressful it can be, and they look at me like I'm crazy.

In the minds of most people, I believe they have the idea that all a cam model does is sit around, chit-chat, and show her tits and snatch now and then for $300 an hour. So when a model has trouble staying online for more than an hour or two a day, or getting on for more than a day or two a week, all of the sudden we become lazy and spoiled.

It is natural for a person in a relationship to want more stability or financial support from their partner (especially if they're broke). It is okay to say, "hey baby, things have been pretty tight lately. Have you put some thought in to trying to get on cam a little more?" But it is not okay to say, "I don't see why you can't get on cam for a normal 8 hour working day, some of those women are making ten grand a month. Why aren't you making that kind of money? You need to start working harder, all you do is sit on your ass and chat online. I don't see what's so hard about that."

I still think you should have your boyfriend sign up for a cam site. When he makes less than two grand his first week, tell him he's a lazy bum and he needs to start spending 9 or 10 hours a day working on cam. After all, he can just "do it", right?

Working 5 days a month and pulling in 40,000 tokens a month?! The most I've made in a pay period is prolly 10,000 tok. And that was prolly 5 days worth of work on its own. How long have you been camming for? I definitely make more money camming than I would a shitty min wage job. And yeah the pressuring is the worst. Because he is recieving government money and sits on his ass all day. Watching movies and smoking weed. And we live in a loft condo so its all one room. No privacy unless I wanna cam in the bathroom. So I'm sure any girl can understand my frustration. I have no problem with what I do for a living. It can be stressful and boring most of the time, but I have a genuinely good time when I'm making money. And I don't want to start hating the whole thing. I'm making a hell of a lot more than any other fulltime college freshman I know. But apparently it's not enough.

Yeah he was like "if I was a girl I'd be making bank"! Or "I wish girls would pay to see guys jack off, I'd make so much money!" And then I tell him there's cam sites guys can work for he says he can't because they're gay. He's not into guys so he couldn't do it. He says that it would be soooo fun if it was girls tipping. And that he doesn't understand why I'm not just having soooo much fun. blah blah blah. It's BULLSHIT!!! I work with another girl and have lesbo sex galore on cam. AND since I'm fucking her on cam, apparently its only fair if he gets to fuck her too. So we have threesomes on the regular. It's fun. I have a blast. But when its 3some time the cam just gets turned off regardless of how many ppl are in my room. Regardless of if we're making tips. He just decides he's done watching the live girl on girl action and joins in. Honestly I'm cool with this. But he can't bitch at me the next day about how I haven't made that much money. When it's HIM who cuts my cam shows short sometimes because he wants sex. I just want to tell him to leave for 8 hours 3 days a week. find something to do. Fuck. But even if he agrees to it it would prolly be 1pm by the time he got out the door, and I make the best money between 8am and noon.

I am going to keep the vast bulk of my opinions to myself, but I do want to ask something. Have you considered starting an account on a site that allows couple, so you can keep making money even if he is tired of just watching?

Does he not have a job?

Does he not have a job?

That's what I was thinking. I'd hope that if he's "nagging her" about making money, that he himself has a job of his own, at least.

 

[LaceyRoyce]

If you're in school full time- camming close to full time is hard!! Its doable.. but it takes a ton of motivation.

I am motivated by competition with myself and others so i set myself little competition goals "be better than last month" to try to motivate myself..

My suggestion is to look for your motivation. not your boyfriends motivation. YOUR motivation. Figure out what motivates you to do things, and see if you can apply it to camming.

I ALSO CAM FULL TIME... and it is ..literally my almost my life.

I want you to know that being on more - can be a huge helper in getting your hourly earnings up because you will draw a regular crowd that will come and see you every day. YOu might consider shorter shifts, but more regularly.

High camscores (and thus hourly earnings) can seem like a crazy way away but its actually not. It takes dedication, motivation and work... and some luck, and 'talent' at camming..in whatever your style is.

With the greatest of respect, your boyfriend sounds like a bit of a prick :?

 

[Violet October]

I am also going to keep the majority of my opinions to myself.


But, you do need to have a sit down with him and talk about this. If he is cutting into your cam time, it is soooo not his place to EVER even hint at being frustrated with you not making as much money as he thinks you should be making.


You should try to see if he'd be into couple's camming. Or even creating threesome videos for you to sell on your cam sites. If there's something steamy going on, try to have the camera on.

AND if you're WORKING, he should leave you be for a few hours. He should not get to dictate when the camera shuts off. That's cutting in YOUR income and your lady partner's income.

 

[SoTxBob]

.....Because he is receiving government money and sits on his ass all day. Watching movies and smoking weed..... since I'm fucking her on cam, apparently its only fair if he gets to fuck her too..... bitch at me the next day about how I haven't made that much money when it's HIM who cuts my cam shows short sometimes because he wants sex.

....as tactfully as I can muster...
It might be time for an upgrade in BF.

 

[PlayboyMegan]

Edit: decided not to go there. :?

 

[victor0021]

I have no idea how much models make per hour on average, but I want to say; Full time student and working a job making 20 dollars an hour? Nice work out of you, stick with it and you will go places in life. Your Boyfriend sounds like he is going in the opposite direction but that's just the opinion of some random dude on the interwebs.

I agree! And even better...she can allow herself some time to enjoy being single, rather than rushing into a 'rebound relationship' with someone else.

 

[Evvie]

Just an add-on to this here discussion:

My ex was also receiving his paycheck from the government; he got shot a ton of times in Iraq and he was on disability pay. So even though he was retired, he still got on to me about how I should "just" get on cam for more hours every day and work more and make tons of money. It was extremely frustrating, because even though he is disabled and unable to work, he still spent 14 hours a day playing xbox and meeting up with women for sex and stuff, all the while turning around and telling me that camming was easy and I was lazy because I didn't put in enough hours.

While it sounds harsh, and while the issues involved were more complicated, it still came down to a situation that was pretty unfair when you think about it. Fortunately, his disability pay was high enough that we were never broke, but the iniquity of the situation was not lost on me. Also fortunately, he only got crabby at me when I complained about not having enough money.

I imagine for the OP that this situation is likely not going to make her want to get a new boyfriend (mine sure didn't), but I totes understand where she's coming from. When people have made up their mind to be obstinate, it's difficult to persuade them that they're being giant poo heads.

 

[IsabellaSnow]

So he doesn't work/is on the doll...
He's nagging you to get online and take your clothes off for strangers online...
He's not even offering to be out of the flat while you do this so you can have privacy (it is actually against mfc rules to have a guy in the room)
You're already a full time student (I'm sorry but most students don't work at all! 10 hours a month is NOT being lazy if you're a student)
He refuses to do the same job (or any job?)
When you do girl-girl shows to make more money, he feels he deserves to also fuck the other girl?? You may enjoy this, but the way you said it sounds like he didn't really care about your opinion on the matter.
Brain overload.... too much stuff going on in my head.....

Sorry Isabella's brain just exploded.

Who you're with is your decision, but that you haven't actually bashed this guys head against the wall until he's a bloody mess is beyond me! You must have a hell of a lot more patience than I do! I think your problems lie with him in general, and not your camming hours. If you're happy with your camming/how much you're earning then don't let anyone else tell you it's not good enough! I've had members try this crap on me and it's really upset me/ruined camming for me, luckily for them there's a ban button.

And I manage my 40,000 tokens a month (usually by working minimal hours on and off towards the end of the pay period, sometimes i'll come online and if it's shit I'll log off, I don't count those as normal shifts.) Approximately I earn 1800 tokens per hour over the last 60 days. That is about what you need for a 4k camscore. Sometimes though on cam I do work very hard. Sometimes times are really tough and you need to work long hours/all the time. My aims tend to be more like 40,000 tokens per pay period, if I'm setting on the minimum (20,000) it means i've been fecking lazy that month or just very busy!

If your boyfriend really is set on this, tell him he needs to be out of the flat 8 hours per day while you're camming. He's unwilling to cam himself, fine, let him go elsewhere though, or just get a normal job.

boyfriend not working while interfering with your cam-time and then complaining about how little you cam... been there, done that.

When he wants the cam off, use the away mode, and ask him if he's trying to get you banned so you can't make ANY money. Then ask him if he wants you to make money or not.

When he complains about how little time you work, point out all the times he keeps you from camming.

When he complains about how little money you make, point out that it's more than he's making.

He might leave you over this, it's true. But I doubt it. After all, if he leaves you, he's actually going to have to pay for stuff. In my case, doing this ended with the boyfriend offering to take care of housework so I could do more hours. But we also had a two-bedroom apartment so I could have a camroom. It started with a ton of fights, but ended with him doing the housework.

I would, after he finally starts seeing reason (took about 2 months with me, but it could take a bit longer for you), sit down with him and plan it out. Have a set schedule, with a set end-time, and some fifteen minute breaks for quickies actually planned into it. Then him fucking you two isn't going to ruin the cam-time, you can go away for those quickies without logging off.

OR look into streamate- they allow couples accounts. Also, the profiles on Streamate don't take nearly as much work as MFC, since you only get 3 boxes of 255 characters, no html. Oh, and one header that has to be between 10 and 140 characters long. I do not know how easy it would be to switch between couples and solos, you would have to ask another girl here that, but if you have a friend over that definitely counts as couples, so you could just be on couples the whole time. Then, you guys can be earning money while you're camming! Of course, Streamate is more strict on the shows (gotta be in paid chat to be nakie on there), but it's possible to just be in gold show the whole time and let guys come in whenever they want to.

Anyone with a couples account on Streamate know how easy it is to switch between couples and solo?

*hugs* you can do this hun!

I haven't read this whole thread, but to answer your question -
The average camscore is 888 at the moment. In the models only section, you can read up on how many tokens per hour it takes for a 1000 camscore, and then you can just do the math on your own to find out what a model with a 888 camscore makes - thats the average if I'm not terribly mistaken.

Using the appropriate numbers, I came up with

330.114 tokens/hour

Which is $16.5057 per hour. Round it down to $16.50 .

You know, I actually deliberately didn't mention token numbers because I'm not sure it's a good idea to let people outside the models only know how to calculate what everyone makes, you know? It would suck if guys started going into top models' rooms and being all 'OMG EVERYONE THIS GIRL MAKES $500 PER HOUR! WTF!!'
I don't think they need to know how to calculate that.

WOW, I'm stupid...

It really doesn't matter unless they monitor her hours. I make decent about per hour (before taxes) but I hardly cam. It's pretty public knowledge that the top girl makes around 50g a month, and I think I've even seen that in the MFC wiki. Something like, "our top earners make up to 50g a month." So yea. We all know the top girls bank it. After taxes, even. But we don't know what their living situation is. We still buy our favorite artists new album although they are multimillionaires, so I don't see why a guy wouldn't still tip a model even if she makes good money. You pay for entertainment regardless of what the entertainer is bringing home.

I agree. And I think it's a good idea for models to not give so much detail in public chat about how much they make. If a member is gonna blurt out a personal question such as "How much do you make?," kindly tell him that it's none of his business, or just smile and say "I make enough to live comfortably."

LadyLuna made an interesting post recently about how it's bad luck for her when someone enters her room and starts asking her about how much she makes. First of all, it's a rude thing to ask. But also, I wouldn't want guys to enter my room for the first time and hear me talking about nothing but MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. Plus, someone may misinterpret it and be like "Money? Is that all this chick cares about?"

And I have no idea whether or not guys thinking you're rich discourages them from tipping you (because they think you "don't need it"). If there are guys who think that way, that really sucks for that model.
