They have the same questions as guys on streaming sites, you just answer the questions in text instead of verbally, and you’re not able to answer to an entire chat room all at once. It’s important to remember that the first inquiry on Skype (or via a site’s messaging system) from a potential client is the independent cammodel’s equivalent to a member saying “hi” on a live streaming site. When you’re typing out the same answers over and over, it seems like Skype clients are out to push every button that annoys you. Most importantly, keep in mind that you need to claim gift cards as income on your taxes, as they have been given in exchange for services rendered.Ī lot of models struggle with handling initial inquiries from potential customers. Gift cards can also be cancelled by the purchaser up until they are redeemed for product, which is something to keep in mind.Įntire websites exist that allow scammers to create fake gift card emails, so keep that in mind when you are deciding whether or not to accept gift cards as payment. Please note that Amazon specifically includes in their Terms of Service for gift cards that they are not to be used in exchange for services rendered, and they reserve the right to cancel gift cards and transactions that they believe are not true “gifts”. Some models also offer shows in exchange for gift cards. ALWAYS read the terms of any payment method you plan to use, and do not assume that other models using the platform means that it is an acceptable use. Some of these platforms will also refund your clients and not penalize them for the transaction, a fact that scammers have figured out (please see below under “common scams”). The penalties for violating the TOS differ, but can include freezing funds, shutting accounts, and permanent bans from the platform. All 4 of the previously mentioned services explicitly ban any adult industry-related transactions. I would highly recommend that you carefully read through the Terms of Service of any payment service you are interested in using. It can be very tempting to use peer-to-peer money transfer options like Google Wallet, PayPal, Circle Pay, Venmo, etc. Models may choose to “rollover” unused minutes, though this is not common. Sites offer two main types of shows: pay-per-minute, where a plugin or phone call charges the client per minute as the show happens, and prepaid blocks of time, where the client pays for a predetermined number of minutes before the show begins, and the onus is on the model to ensure that they do not go over the time.
