Chaturbate is a lot of fun and has some unbelievably hot, naked women (girls, men, couples, trans). The hotter they are the more tips they make and the longer they stick around. It's "survival of the hottest." And some of the women on Chaturbate will blow your mind.
Chaturbate is free to view, and an account is not even necessary, but the free sign up is a good idea because it allows you to chat and save favorites.
Chaturbate is a cam site. Basically, the models get registered with proper ID, turn on their cam, and start broadcasting.
Anyone can go to Chaturbate.com and view the hundreds of cams.
Most of the girls are naked, many are masturbating. Some do strip teases. The rooms often have hundreds of members viewing the model. The most I have ever seen in a room was around 8,000, but typically, 1,000 is a fairly common number.
The models set the tone for the room. Some girls are wild, some are very calm and shy. Some models talk a lot, some don't talk much at all. The room conversation is all over the place, from politics, to Ted Talks, to movies and music, to favorite sexual techniques.
If you chat and are polite, the girl will remember you. Just like in any other social situation, you might hit it off and have a lot to talk about. You might make friends with other members also.
The girls can pick certain members to be moderators. The 'mods' can silence members so they can't chat anymore. Some mods are trigger-happy, and some mods let a lot slide. This also contributes to the mood of the room.
1. Members buy tokens for around 10 cents each. They tip the girl and the girl earns 5 cents per token, so Chaturbate keeps 5 cents per token, which pays for the administration and bandwidth, and keeps the servers running. 15 tokens is a common tip. This costs the member $1.50. Chaturbate makes 75 cents, and so does the model.
2. Most girls sell videos or photo sets. These are typically 100 or so tokens.
3. You can also subscribe to Chaturbate on a monthly basis for more member perks, or you can subscribe to the models' Fan Club for free videos or other model's perks.
On the low end, I've seen very pretty girls make $20 in 10 hours (yeah, that's only $2 per hour). She was new, so she didn't have a following yet, and she was grumpy, so she didn't encourage members to stay long or tip, but she was very pretty.
The most I've seen a girl make is 40,000 tokens ($2000) in 5 hours, or $400/hour. This was a hot slim 20-year old with a large following and a fantastic personality.
The earnings range is huge. Being pretty helps a lot, but is definitely not enough. The models' personality is what wins the hearts of the members. Generally speaking, pretty girls with attractive personalities can make great money, even ridiculous money. There have been posts and articles about the all-stars of camming making $300,000 per year. But it's certainly not something every pretty girl will succeed at. The feeling I get is that most girls cam to pay bills, not to build an empire.
You don't have to tip. You can tip as little or as much as you want, or nothing at all and just watch.
One reason to tip is that tips have a text box for a note, and you can send a private note to the model with a tip. There are plenty of 1-token tips for this reason.
On the other extreme, some people obviously have plenty of disposable income, and I've seen some humongous tips, like 35,000 tokens ($3500 cost, $1750 to the girl). There are obviously some celebrities and/or wealthy people on Chaturbate. These guys keep the girls coming back.
Average joe, in the middle, might want to participate, and tip 15 tokens. The models are usually grateful for any and all tips.
Tips show up in the chat as yellow. When a lot of people tip and fill the chat up with yellow tip notification, it's called a 'yellow wall'. This is another reason to tip. It's kind of fun and only costs a few tokens. It's fun to watch the girl react to the yellow wall, and squeal with joy.
Set up an account. You will most likely want to chat, and you will probably want to save your favorites. You can not do that without logging in. Some girl will be talking about your favorite band and you'll want to comment, for example.
When you chat, the girls talk to you and respond to your comments. It's really like a big pool party with a naked model. You will quickly wish you were logged in when the girl says something interesting and you want to comment on it.
To sign up, just think up a username and password, and they also want some birthdate (not verified) to calculate your age, and gender to put you in the right category. No credit card is needed. They don't even require an email. I gave them a unique email and have never gotten one spam from them, in three years. I've gotten just two announcements about contests, and that's all. You can set Chaturbate up to send emails when your favorites come online, if you want.
I've seen all sorts of names. Anything from 'dr_bob' to 'all_night_pussy_pounder'. I think the best names are easy to say (for the model), reasonably short, somewhat unique, and not too rude.
There are no upper-case characters, just lower-case letters, numbers, and underscores.
When other members reply to your chats, they will use a snip from your username, like "bob: I agree", or "pounder, me too". So, it's good to have a part that's short and descriptive that people will grab to address you. For example, 'randythedestroyer' would be good (randy), 'lgbtcrusader' not so good (lgbt is tougher to speak and type)
The name 'all_night_pussy_pounder' is not so good because 'pussy' is not a name and it's fairly a common word so it gets confusing (for example "hmmm, is she talking to me? or did she just say 'pussy'?")
Just make sure there is some part of your username that the model
can grab and say, and the other members can type. Any somewhat
uncommon 2-syllable name or word is the best, like these:
Then, since they will most likely be already taken, add some more
to the name, like this:
Decide on a username, then set up your Chaturbate account here.
Have fun. Chaturbate is lots of fun and, uhm, enjoyment, or one-handed typing, if you know what I mean.
Here is the Chaturbate main page, but you really should set up an account first. Something will come up and you'll want to reply, you will be in a rush to create an account, and you will end up with a username you will not be happy with. Give it a couple minutes and pick a cool name.
