Since 2011, Chaturbate has quickly become one of the most beloved live sex cam sites on the Internet. Although relatively new to adult industry, Chaturbate has already amassed millions of active members worldwide and earned Alexa ranking of 3rd most visited adult site globally and 2nd most trafficked adult chatroom globally.
Chatrooms provide an expansive array of erotica, such as butt sex, cumshots, face rubs and teases – many performed by professional sex workers; others may just enjoy being on camera to make some extra cash while showing their skills to fans who pay with tokens for private shows; the most sought-after models are considered Top Models and receive higher tips.
Models can make extra cash through selling “private shows”, or non-public performances with explicit action, for one hour at 10 to 100 tokens each, which can either be purchased through their website’s prepaid chat credit system, or directly from them using PayPal or Stripe accounts.
Many Chaturbate models also sell an assortment of sex toys such as vibrators, clitoral toys, cock toys and other masturbation tools such as dildos. These toys can be purchased either with tokens or real cash; models often utilize these toys in free shows or set them up so they automatically activate when viewers tip them a tip from viewers.
To support your favorite models, you can send a tip via the menu at the top of their chatroom box or purchase token packs to see her perform in private shows. Additionally, following their profile gives you access to email and browser notifications whenever they are online for live shows – plus if you know who it is you want to see just search by name in chatroom or browse by category to locate her!
As with all market exchanges, competition on Chaturbate is administered using various’market devices’ that transform different bodies and performances into calculable sexual commodities (Vatin 2013). Most prominent among these features are the site’s rankings, which place models into ordinal ranks that determine their earnings by ordering thumbnails for their live shows. Rankings on OnlyFans are determined by a complex algorithm which remains secret, yet has direct consequences on visibility and value on the site. A model’s strategy in order to establish their visibility on OnlyFans should include building up a dedicated following and cultivating niche visibility; they might do this by opening OnlyFans accounts with followers to increase exposure on OnlyFans, offering up to 70% of sales gross from token sales through their pages through OnlyFans services such as OnlyFans accounts for themselves and followers.
