What are the differences between a Cam Site and a Fan Site?

If you have decided to start your career as an Adult Content Creator, you surely know that there are different types of platforms on the market that can help you. Today we want to talk about the differences between Cam Sites and Fan Sites, since they can often be confused! We tell you all about them in this blog post.

What are Cam Sites?

Cam Sites, as the name suggests, are platforms that allow Performers to connect with new audiences through a webcam in real time. But how can we best define them?

When we talk about performers, we’re talking about models and creators who connect to a Cam Site to perform shows in real time. We can find two types of performers: Professional or Amateur. In the first case, they are people who have already had contact with the world of Adult Content Creation. Those who belong to the second category are people who want to spend their extra time in a profitable way, with a few tools, connecting to special websites that provide a streaming service to thousands of users.

In both cases, anyone can start to broadcast live through Cam Sites -for example through Cam4, the best Cam Site ever!-, just have some initiative and willingness to get involved. What does it take to become a performer on a Cam Site? An aspirant must obviously be able to count on reliable equipment: Therefore, they must have a great computer/device, rely on a reliable connection and a respectable web cam.

On the other side of the screen we find instead the viewers: In this case we talk about users who choose to connect to these streaming platforms to interact with performers. There are performers who show themselves in provocative clothes while performing everyday tasks (such as studying, ironing, cooking), but you can also push yourself to sensual ballets and striptease. This is absolutely up to them, although we must say that normally the content we find on a Cam Site is NSFW.

How does traffic work on Cam Sites?

To understand how traffic works on Cam Sites, let’s take a practical example! Imagine you are a viewer who decides to access a Cam Site for the first time. By opening the Cam4 home page, you can choose which Performer you want to watch by choosing the category you prefer (they are collected by tags) or you can check which Web Cammers are live and choose the one you prefer! Cam Sites have a directory where the viewers can see all the models who have joined the platform, making it easy to find them!

It’s also possible to apply a series of filters in order to find the Performer that most closely resembles the viewer’s tastes, such as gender, spoken language, age, etc…

If you are a Performer, at Cam Sites, the traffic comes directly to you. Of course you can also promote your Profile on your Social Media if you want to be more visible.

But how much do you make? Obviously the gain is relative and depends on many factors. First of all, it depends on how many hours are dedicated to broadcast. Obviously, the more hours, the more you earn. In particular, the gain increases if you work in the time between 22 to 2 am, the preferred time for those looking for webcammers online.

And what about the FanSites?

As we mentioned earlier, these platforms allow Cam Models and viewers to connect in real time through a webcam. However, these platforms sometimes appear very limited and it’s not possible to go beyond this type of interaction. This is where FanSites come in!

What does it change compared to a normal Social Media? A Fan Site is much more! First of all, on Social Media we talk about followers while here we talk about Fans. A Fan pays a monthly subscription and can access your premium content. Obviously your Fans will expect to find different content than what you post on Instagram or Twitter. Plus, you can upload photos, videos, galleries and exclusive content that is both NSFW and SFW!

Thanks to a Fan Site you can interact with your Fans in a much more direct way: You can chat with them, notify them if you will be inactive for a period of time or if you have uploaded new content, you can send them the calendar of upcoming Live Shows or even invite them to leave you a tip if they want to “unlock” custom content.

Each Fan Site works differently, with different features depending on which one you choose. On Tempted for example you can choose to upload your SFW and NSFW content, chat with your Fans in real time, invite them to buy exclusive content from your Clip Store or you can choose to invite another Temptation to your Live Show and make it a Virtual Party Show!

What if I want to be a Cam Model but also have a Fan base?

The two platforms mentioned above follow different strategies, but can be combined with each other! You can choose to be a Cam Site Model but also upload your content to a Fan Site to reach new Fans, creating a bond that is more personal and closer. For example, you can chat with your Fans about yourself, what you like to do, etc… In short, you can take the relationship beyond the Web Cam!

Now that we’ve told you what a Fan Site and a Cam Site are, we’re curious to know if you already know these differences and especially if you know how to combine them to earn even more!

Stay tuned for our new posts and… Have a tempting day,
