Hello! Welcome to IndieCamModels.com. What brought you here? I’m guessing you’re horny and looking for a more interactive experience with a live cam model! You have come to the right place. I am here to tell you all about independent cam modeling (also known as “indie cam modeling”), share with you some of the differences between livestreaming and indie cam modeling and finally, offer some ways in which you can find an indie cam model today!
What is an indie cam model?
An indie cam model is someone who provides adult entertainment through cam shows either one-on-one or in small groups (threesome+ cam shows). Indie cam models perform these shows using a chat app such as Discord.
Indie cam models usually advertise their shows on multiple camming websites. You will find that many cam models create content such as sexy videos and pictures, selling them on multiple content selling sites as well as offering custom content.
Live stream cam models vs independent cam models
While independent cam models spend most of their cam time one-on-one, with the occasional threesome+ cam show, live stream cam models perform to a larger audience, into the hundreds, maybe even thousands. During a livestream, the viewers have the option to send tips (which indie cam models usually call, “tributes”) to make requests or participate in games. Those who livestream can take one-on-one shows if you pay to go private with them for an agreed upon rate, similarly to indie cam models.
Some of the more well-known livestreaming sites include MyFreeCams, Streamate and LiveJasmin, though there are more out there. The big-name streaming sites including those listed and more have made their way into the Miami Herald, the Washington City Paper, Business Insider, Vice and more. Meanwhile, most indie cam model sites are less known. We will dive into some of the places you can find independent cam models soon!
Why you should you choose to play with an indie cam model!
First, why should you choose to play with an indie cam model?
- While indie cam models may have a lot of notches on their virtual bedposts, their client list is likely quite a bit shorter than that of a livestreaming model. A livestreaming model might have hundreds of viewers during one busy session of camming. In comparison, an indie cam model will probably never exceed 30 one-on-one sessions in one day of camming, even a busy one. This allows an independent cam model to really focus on getting to know you and your kinks, fantasies and desires!
- You’re not competing against many other people for attention! What you pay an indie cam model affords you a block of time, one-on-one or in a small group with the model!
- Indie cam models typically get to keep a higher percentage of what you pay. MyFreeCams pays on average around 60% (it’s rather confusing, but this is the closest to accurate after researching a bit). Streamate pays 25 – 30%. LiveJasmin pays out 30-80%, depending on how much in sales the cam model gets to spend money in their cam room. The models on LiveJasmin who do better, also keep more of what you pay them. In comparison, the lowest an indie cam model might earn is 60-70% on a site with some of the highest traffic, while the best payout currently offered on any indie cam model site is 85%. Most fall between 70-80%!
Do’s and Do not’s:
Once you find an indie cam model you would like to do a session with do:
- Reach out ready to pay for a session. If you are reaching out on an offsite program such as Discord, tell the model what kind of session you are looking for and what site you found them on. For example, “Hi! I found you on ICF and I would like a 15-minute topless cam show. Would you role play that I am your adult stepson who you want to seduce?”
- If you have questions and you have the option of paying to sext or chat, that’s a great way to show you are serious and that you respect the cam model’s time. If not, reaching out on Discord with more than a couple (two) questions, consider offering to pay for sexting to ask questions and discuss the cam show or phone sex call.
- Go over the model’s rules regarding payment. Unless you are sending a tribute or tip, most models will not honor payments sent for phone sex calls or cam shows unless everything was agreed upon upfront. Most indie cam models have a 10 minute minimum for their regular rate (and a higher rate for a 5 minute quickie cam show). The minimum means you must use or lose the minutes, unless you are buying a pay ahead package of some kind.
And definitely do not:
- Offer to pay for a show and then ghost. If something comes up, tell the model something came up and apologize.
- Assume anything when it comes to payment or what the model is willing to do for you.
- Surprise the model by bringing up potentially taboo or extreme fantasies mid-show. Always ask prior to payment and if the answer is no, do not bring it up again.
How to find an indie cam model
Before we dive in, note that the percentage NiteFlirt takes includes connection fees and chargebacks. There are no connection fees on the other sites because there is no built in camming or calling platform. Though they will generally cover chargebacks, depending on the situation. Either way, the indie cam modeling companies below will assist in how to handle a chargeback.
It’s commonly thought that indie cam models are responsible for these things and that the higher percentage they receive is supposed to cover these things. That is simply a myth in the case of connection fees, and only partially true in the case of chargebacks.
Without further delay, let’s dive in!
IndieCamFans is the one-stop spot for indie cam models and their fans! With a high payout percentage and a concentration on listening to the models wants and needs for the site, ICF is a great option to find happy independent cam models and buy cam shows, phone sex, sexting, videos, pictures and even worn panties! ICF was started by a cam model and her partner. The restrictions on the types of fantasies and fetishes ICF caters to are light. ICF models are free to explore the fantasies that interest them and are not limited by corporate culture.
Livecammodelshows has the highest payout to models that we’ve heard of! They have a much larger group of cam models to talk to, including transgender and male models! LCMS has medium restrictions on what fantasies and fetishes models can explore.
CamModelDirectory has a variable payout of 75-80%. CMD has medium restrictions on what fantasies and fetishes models can explore.
SkyPrivate has a regular payout of 75% with the option to earn up to 86% by using referral codes for new callers. SkyPrivate has medium restrictions on what fantasies and fetishes models can explore.
NiteFlirt pays between 60-70%, depending on whether it is a call, a pay-to-view/payment request mail or a goodie bag (videos, audio, picture sets, etc.). While the percentage is a bit lower, NiteFlirt is a great place for phone sex operators, independent cam models and content creators alike to work. NiteFlirt is probably the oldest standing phone sex site. The traffic is excellent, and as such, there aren’t too many complaints about the lower cut.
NiteFlirt has a search area to navigate this massive site of women, men and transgendered cam models and phone sex operators, alike! The rules on NiteFlirt are probably the strictest of any indie cam model site. If you like taboo topics such as incest, watersports or really anything extreme, steer clear! It is in violation of NiteFlirt’s terms of service and you are putting that model at risk of losing their account. A lot of cam models and phone sex operators prefer being on a site with strict rules. If you want something spicy, there are other models to choose from on other sites!
