== What is a webcam model? ==
A webcam model is a person that performs live video chats online. The more time a customer spends watching your private show the more money you will earn. Models should tell their clients upfront what they are willing to do and not willing to do so there is not a misunderstanding. Generally, webcam models are asked to pose nude and it is considered to be part of the job.

A webcam model chats live on webcam from her computer with users from around the world. Webcam models can earn incredible amounts of money from the comfort of their own home. You do not need any experience and if you are attractive with a great personality you can be very successful. 

We are currently casting women between the ages of 18 and 55 to be webcam models on [[Cameralux Model Sign up page]].

Webcam modeling is easy and fun, all you have to do is be yourself and users will pay you generously for it.

== How much can I earn? ==
You will get paid every minute a customer is watching your private show. You can set your own rates for both private and exclusive chat. In private chat, more than one customer can be in your room. For example, if there are 10 customers you will earn anywhere from £6 - £10+ a minute. On average our models make anywhere from £250 to £2000 a week, which works out about £30 - £60 an hour with some models earning in excess of £5000 per week!

No one gives you more ways to earn money, including: 
*'''Tips''' - Members can pay you with Tips in the Free Chat area. You do not make a per-minute rate for being in free chat, so you'll have to work the room! You can set a Tip Topic, so users know what you'll do in free chat and how much it costs. 
*'''Tip shows''' 
**'''How Tip Shows Work'''

***Once on imodel, you set the Tip Show Goal (We recommend a small tip goal around $30-50), Tip Show Length, and Tip Show Reservation price (typically $5-10). 
***Members must reserve a spot for your Tip Show in order to view your show. Members can also join your show after the show has started, and you will have the option to extend your show length before the show ends.
***Once the goal is reached, your Tip Show starts, and all the members who reserved a spot to your show enter your Tip Show. 
***Note: Tips are not actually collected until the Tip Show begins, and models may be penalized for ending Tip Shows early.

*'''Online video sales''' - Video clips can be uploaded and sold on the site for a one-time flat rate. You set your own rates for videos when you upload them, but feel free to contact model support if you need to make any changes or updates to your published videos.

== What percentage do I get? ==
Cameralux takes pride in paying the highest commissions in the industry. Models who sign up directly with the site make 50% of all Net Revenue.

Really big. Cameralux is the fastest growing webcam website in the world with over 5 Million regular users. As soon as you log on, you will have tons of paying members in your room ready to spend money.

== How can I contribute to building my following and getting regulars? ==
Promote, promote, promote. The best thing you can do for your cam career is to self-promote. Create social media accounts, like twitter, and Instagram in your model name. Search for potential members and promote your social media accounts to your Cameralux members to gain followers. Get as many followers as you can! Then, make postings that are fun, sexy, and engaging. Let your followers know your work schedule with dates and times you'll be online. You can also link your Cameralux profile when you're logging on in your posts so they can quickly click to your page!

When camming, make sure to sell things for tips like pictures, videos, calendars, and raffle prizes. Anything to keep your room engaging and your members loyal will help you succeed.  

*'''I want to self promote but I have states/countries blocked''' - While social media does not offer the same blocking logic, any person in your blocked regions who attempts to go to your Cameralux profile from a social media account will be rerouted to the Cameralux homepage and will not be able to view your profile. If security is a concern for you, we still recommend self promotion, just be discrete when posting pictures.

= Payment Support=
You can find out more about our payout options directly from your model console after logging in. Additionally, you can update your payment preferences after approval at any time by going to the payment settings tab in your model console. Please direct all payment questions, inquiries, and address updates to Payment Support: https://www.cameralux.us/webcam/contact

*To pull your stats, simply click on the stats and earnings tab in your model console and follow the simple instructions.

== Common Payment Concerns ==

===I need to update my address=== 
Even though Cameralux uses fully electronic methods of payment, it is still very important to keep your address updated at all times. This is because we mail out tax forms annually for filing your taxes. To update your address, please email payment support: https://www.cameralux.us/webcam/contact. Tax forms are mailed out the 3rd of 4th week of every January.

===I legally changed my name and need to update Cameralux=== 
Whenever you legally change your name, for example when you get married, you must notify us. This is because we will have to start paying you under your new legal name and report income correctly for taxation purposes. Please email payment support https://www.cameralux.us/webcam/contact with your married or new legal name. We will also need the legal documentation verifying this change. For example, you can submit a marriage license to us. Lastly, whenever you change your name, make sure you contact the social security administration to have it updated as soon as possible. This will need to be done before we can update our records.

===I don't understand how to pull and/or read my stats===  
*Most models are paid weekly (Monday - Sunday), and we will transfer your money by the following Friday. For weekly payouts, you can pull your stats by logging into your model console and clicking on the stats and earnings tab. For range, chose last pay period if you are trying to see what money is coming to you on Friday. If you want to see how you are doing this pay week, select current pay period. Next, hit the refresh button.
*Some models use '''CMBpaycard''' and are paid based on cash out history. If you use CMBpaycard.com, you must  chose custom under the range section on your stats and earnings tab. You must pull your stats based on the last date AND time you received a payment, until the date and time of the current payment. This is because CMBpaycard pays you every time you cash out and transfers everything you've earned up until the minute they transfer funds (remember, we run on Easter Standard Time). If you need more help with this, please email CMB support: https://www.cameralux.us/webcam/contact, or call them at 1.800.677.1483 between the hours of 9am - 5pm Eastern Standard Time, Monday-Friday.
*Many studio models are paid every two weeks. If you cannot use the "current pay period" and "past pay period" on your stats and earnings page because you are paid biweekly, you can change the range to custom. This will allow you to pick from what date, and to what date you would like to pull your stats.

===I think I'm missing all or a portion of my payment=== 
The first thing to do is make sure you know what pay range you are on, and how to properly pull your stats. You can always email support https://www.cameralux.us/webcam/contact.
 

* '''You must make a minimum of $50 in order to receive a payment.''' If you did not make enough for a payment, your earnings will roll over to the next week.

* '''Both your tax and payment settings must be submitted and approved, and your pay account must be active.''' You can earn money without settings these things up, but your earnings will be held and will roll over to the next week. Roll overs will continue until everything is set up.

If you are pulling your stats correctly, have met your $50 minimum, have an active payment account, and know your tax and payment settings are approved, but you still see an error, don't panic! We will make sure you are paid correctly in a timely fashion. Simply email payment support https://www.cameralux.us/webcam/contact with your model name, what week/pay period you are inquiring about, and the amount you feel you should've received. All missing funds will be paid immediately once verified.

Run a tip app!  You can find these near the subject line on top of the chat section.
#Auto-Reset Tip Goal - when you want smaller goals reached over and over, ex: every goal I lose clothing, or 5x goal I bring out the toys.
#Tip Menu - when you want everything that's on the table to have a distinct price, go with this app.  You can also run this with a tip goal to double the incentive!  Make sure to be detailed and specific in all your menu items!
#Golden Ticket - this is what you should go with when you don't want to go with a goal format, and don't want anyone to watch you without tipping.  You set an entry price that needs to be paid to see the stream, and can even set a countdown timer so everyone has time to buy their tickets!
#Tip Goal - when you have one simple objective for your show, this is what you want.

[[Category:Payment Information for Models]]
This page is designed to help models from the United States understand their employment and tax status while working on this website. If you are not a model from the USA, the information on this page may not be relevant for you.

== Employment status of models ==

<big>Models are '''NOT''' employees of MyFreeCams.com!</big>

Models are '''independent contractors'''.

We are unable to provide any sort of proof of employment or income verification.

For more details as to your legal status with respect to MyFreeCams.com, please read your Model Contract that is available in your [[Model Admin]].

== Requirement of a Social Security Number or Tax ID ==

All American corporations in are required to receive the Social Security Number or Tax ID of American citizens and residents that they pay in order to avoid having to withhold part of the payment for taxes.  This is why our site requires this information and we do not use it for any other purposes.

== Tax information for models ==

=== W9 tax form ===

Models that are residents or citizens of the USA digitally sign a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRS_Form_W-9#W-9 W9 tax form] which is just a formal request for a tax-payer identification number (your social security number). This allows us to pay you the full amount you earn without any backup withholding. We keep the W9 form on file, and it does not get sent to the IRS.

=== 1099 tax form ===

After the end of each year, before January 31, if you have earned over $600.00 in the previous year, we will send out a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRS_tax_forms#1099_series 1099-MISC Tax Form] which will contain the total income you have received during the prior year from our company. This will help you file your annual tax returns. A copy also gets sent to the IRS.

<big>'''We do not withhold any portion of your payment for taxes. You are responsible for reporting, filing, and paying all of your taxes yourself!'''</big>

Please speak with a qualified tax advisor or accountant if you have any questions.

== Background checks ==

Your privacy is our top priority.

To the best of our knowledge, appearing on MyFreeCams.com will not appear on any background checks.

We do not report the names of our models to any entity other than the IRS in 1099 tax forms as required by law. It will simply say you received miscellaneous income from our company without any details as to the specific service.
