Looking to gain some insight from a webcam model about various platforms? No problem, I’ve got you covered here today with at least one of them. The site is called Dream Lover and it’s a phone, messaging, and texting platform for models looking to make some coin. Find out what it’s all about in my official review below…

My Thoughts On Dream Lover

Dream Lover is a website where your fans can securely communicate with you via phone calls, text messaging, and picture messaging. Below I rate them in several different categories, giving them a score in each category out of 10. Out of 60 possible points, I gave them 29/60, with an average score of 4.83. They excelled in their features but lacked in everything else.

How Much Experience Do You Have With The Site?

I’ve been on Dream Lover for almost 9 months,  so far so good really!

Features 8/10

Dream Lover allows you to communicate with your fans through pay-per-minute phone calls, text messages, and picture messages. Your actual phone number and your customer’s phone numbers are all kept private. Instead they use an anonymous proxy number for both of you. You’re able to choose which features you want to use and set all of your own rates. At any point, you can change your availability for phone calls and/or text messages. So if you know you’re going to be unavailable to take calls/texts, you can turn them off until you’re available again.

You choose your own rates for customers to initially purchase your phone number, for them to text you, for you to text them, for them to picture message you, for you to picture message them, and your per-minute price for voice calls. The payout rate is 60%. Customers purchase coins, which are used as currency on the site. Once a customer connects with you by purchasing your phone number, you’ll be able to view their current coin balance. The connection lasts for 30 days, at which time the customer must purchase your phone number again if they wish to continue interacting with you.

Dream Lover now offers a service that they’re calling Bookings. These are basically live cam shows that you can do with either any member on the site who pays in, or with just one select member for a more personalized show. The show can either be done on Skype or with the Dream Lover Live Platform. If you use their platform, you can cam using a desktop webcam only, no phones. You choose the length of your show and how much each member must pay to join. After your show is complete, you will get paid. By setting up Bookings that anyone can join, you’ll draw in new fans who may become lifetime customers!

Profits & Traffic 6/10

Like the majority of adult phone call/sexting sites, you’re responsible for advertising yourself. The site in general does not generate a ton of organic traffic. The majority of it’s traffic is from the models on the site posting on social media that they are part of the site, and asking their fans to connect with them on it. Because of this, most of the guests visiting the site are there for a specific girl. So make sure you advertise as often as you can on your own social media accounts.

If you’re able to draw in traffic from your social media accounts, your profits can be great! Just having a few consistent customers who chat with you daily can bring in quite a bit of revenue. Just make sure your prices are set appropriately: not too high and not too low. Since it costs new members $1 to make an account on Dream Lover, you know that everyone there most likely has plans on spending additional money, otherwise, they wouldn’t even waste the initial $1 to sign-up.

Ease Of Using & Navigating The Site 4/10

The site is generally easy to use and navigate. Although it’s easy to find the different sections, there isn’t a lot of explanation about how everything on the site works. Aside from that, the scrolling bars used to change your rates are sometimes glitchy and don’t adjust properly.

They don’t have a model FAQ page or guides, so it can be a time-waster playing around on the site yourself until you figure everything out. They do have a contact form, but no one wants to wait around for a reply. When they rolled out with the Bookings feature, there was no information about it, and they’re still aren’t when visiting the page. You have to figure everything out on your own.

Payments & Cashouts 4/10

There are only two payout options. You can get paid by check or direct deposit (in the US only). If you choose direct deposit, the only way that they can verify you is if you provide a voided check. This is an inconvenient and outdated way to verify your bank account.

I’ve seen several models complain about this because they didn’t have any checks and had to pay to order them. Most banks will provide you with a few starter checks when you open a checking account, but Dream Lover won’t accept those starter checks to verify your direct deposit request.

You are able to set your minimum payout to $0, $50, or $100. There is no information provided about what day(s) of the weekly payments are sent out.

Privacy Protection & Geo-Blocking 4/10

Your phone number is protected, so none of your customers will be able to see your actual phone number when you’re talking to or texting them. Instead Dream Lover provides both you and your customer with a fake, anonymous phone number. But with this said, if you’re taking phone calls, you need to make sure your actual phone number is not mentioned in your voicemail message. If your status is set to available for phone calls and a customer calls you but gets sent to voicemail, they will be able to hear whatever message you currently have set for your voicemail. If it includes your actual phone number, they’ll now have that information.

I searched extensively throughout the site, and could not find any options for geo-blocking. This means that anyone, from anywhere around the world who has access to the website, will have access to your Dream Lover profile. This will be a problem for any model who likes to block their state, country, zip code, etc. Although the site is non-nude (your profile picture and background picture cannot show any nudity), it’s still not worth the risk for some models.

Customer Service & Support 3/10

I’ve never tried contacting customer service or support, so I don’t know how long they usually take to reply. I do know that I had a profile picture pending for over 8 months before. They never approved or denied it, so it just sat there in pending mode until I deleted it. Their contact form is not the easiest thing to find. You cannot access the link through your Dashboard. Instead you have to go to the main homepage of the site, scroll to the very bottom, click on the Help Center, and then click on Submit A Request at the top right.

They don’t provide models with any guides, resources, or a FAQ page. I guess if you have any questions about how the site works, you have to contact them every time through the Help Center.

Final Overview/Conclusion

Overall Dream Lover has some decent features, they just haven’t executed them in the most convenient way for the models. If they took the time to put together a resource guide, it would make the site much more appealing. More payment options and more information about cashing out would be a big plus for them as well.

Camsoda.com is one of the most popular camming platforms on the planet. I’ve been using it for years and have recently decided to update my review of the platform. That said, if you’re a cam girl, then you will want to read this for sure. Find out everything about Cam Soda and why many models choose this as the platform to make tons of cash chatting live.

Camsoda Review

CamSoda is a newer, but popular live cam site. Below I rate them in several different categories, giving them a score in each category out of 10. Out of 60 possible points, I gave them 56/60, with an average score of 9.33. They excelled in every category, really only losing a few points for being so new and still having things to work on.

Features 8/10

CamSoda is still new, so there is room for improvement. But with that said, they still have some great features in place to help models earn money. Of course, the main point of the site is live cam shows. They make it easy for you to get started broadcasting yourself.

All you need is a decent laptop or desktop computer, a fast internet connection (preferably wired in), and a webcam. You will also need a valid photo ID and a clear picture of yourself holding your ID next to your face. This is used as a verification process when you first create your account and is needed for account approval.

CamSoda is a token-based cam site. This means the currency used on the site is tokens. You are paid $0.05 for every token you’re given by fans. This makes 20 tokens equivalent to $1.00. Like Myfreecams, most models collect tokens by having countdowns until they do certain things (remove bra, remove panties, oil show, cum show, etc.).

You can also do private shows. The default rate for private shows is set at 30 tokens per minute, which comes out to $1.50/minute. But you can change your rate to whatever you’re most comfortable with. When you’re in a private show, members can spy on the show. They won’t be able to chat, just watch. The default rate for spy shows is 12 tokens per minute or $0.60/minute.

Besides doing live cam shows, there are other ways you can earn money on CamSoda… even when you’re not online! You can sell premade photosets and videos on your profile. You set all of your own prices. If you use ChatStar, which is an adult phone service, you can list your ChatStar link on your profile as well. CamSoda also lets models link to their Amazon wishlist right from their profile. Fans are able to go to your wishlist and spoil you that way.

CamSoda wants you to be healthy, which is why they created a Wellness Program. Models are eligible for the Wellness Program after they’ve been on the site for 6 months or more. Models who gross $3,500 – $6,999 on a monthly basis and provide proof of health insurance will receive a $65 monthly bonus. Models who gross over $7,000 on a monthly basis and provide proof of health insurance will receive a $125 monthly bonus.

Profits & Traffic 8/10

As more and more models have begun to make the switch to CamSoda, Cam Girls on their site have reported their traffic has greatly increased. Some big-name porn stars have been featured on the site recently, which is great for getting more people to sign-up. Brandi Love, Dakota Skye, Tory Lane, and more have really helped launch the site and grow their traffic.

CamSoda is also on top of its social media game. They have a Twitter account with over 24K followers and growing! They frequently do shoutouts for models who cam on their site and will retweet you if you tag them in a tweet.

As I mentioned in the features section, there are other ways for you to make money on CamSoda besides just doing live cam shows. You can also sell your photosets and videos, list your Chatstar profile, and have your Amazon wishlist on your profile.

Ease Of Using & Navigating The Site 10/10

CamSoda is easy to use on both the model’s end and the user’s end. I’ve browsed the site, but I never actually cammed on it before. So to get a feel for the model’s side of things, I signed up. The sign-up process was quick and easy.

You fill out some basic info, “sign” an electronic agreement, submit your photo ID and headshot holding your ID, and that’s it! I was done within 5 minutes and told that account approval takes about 24 hours.

Once approved, I scoped out the Dashboard. It has everything you need to get your profile and cam show set up, and it’s super easy to navigate and figure out.

The site is equally as easy to use for the guys browsing models on the site. They can easily access your room, chat with you, view your profile, etc.

Payments & Cashouts 10/10

CamSoda offers several different payout methods. The first way you can get paid is by a check in the mail. There is no fee associated with a check, and the minimum payout is $0. You can also choose to have funds directly deposited into your bank account through ACH/bank transfer.

There is also no fee and the minimum payout is $0. The third way to get paid is Paxum. For Paxum, there is also no fee and the minimum payout is $0. The final way to get paid is by wire transfer. This is for both international (non-US) and US models. There is no fee, but the minimum payout is $500. Payments go out every single week.

Types of Live Cams on Cam Soda

CamSoda offers a wide range of Live Cams as well as Streaming Life Cams on their site. Some of the most popular cam rooms seem to be their Milf Cams and Voyeur Cams.

Privacy Protection & Geo-Blocking 10/10

This is top notch when it comes to privacy protection and geo-blocking. You can rest assured that their site is secure and none of your personal information will get leaked. As far as regional blocking goes, you are able to block by state and/or country.

This is good for models who are trying to prevent people they know from finding out what they do and viewing their cam. If you have a specific state or country blocked, no one accessing CamSoda from that area will be able to view your cam or your profile.

Customer Service & Support 10/10

I personally haven’t contacted support for anything, but I’ve heard from other cam models on the site that the support team is quick and knowledgable. If you have a question about something or you notice a bug on the site, they are quick to answer you and/or fix the problem.

Today, after reading this article, you should be able to assess whether or not adopting the platform into your revenue stream wheelhouse makes sense.

My ManyVids Review & Answers To Frequently Asked Questions

ManyVids is a website where you can sell your videos, pictures, tangible goods, and other adult products. Below I rate them in several different categories, giving them a score in each category out of 10. Out of 60 possible points, I gave them 59/60, with an average score of 9.83. They excelled in every category.

How Much Experience (Time) Do You Have Using The Site?

I’ve been on ManyVids for years, many, many years in fact.

Features – 10/10

ManyVids offers models so many great and useful features! The main one is of course selling your premade videos. Videos must be under 2 GB in size, which is larger than many sites allow.

This means you won’t have to break your video into smaller sections or compromise quality. They also let you upload multiple videos at one time, and come back to edit and publish them at a later time.

You set all of your own prices for each video you upload, can upload your own preview and cover picture, put your video on sale whenever you want, and select up to 5 categories for each video. You can also sell memberships for 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months.

When someone purchases a membership, they get unlimited access to all of your videos that you included in your membership plan, plus all-new videos added during the duration of their membership.

Selling Custom Clips

You can also sell custom videos, Skype shows, your phone number, and texting through different apps from your profile page. All of these services are super easy to set up from your Services page. Once set up, they will automatically show up for purchase on the left-hand side of your profile.

You can also host your own contest through the Services page. Another service is called Fund Me. You can start a Fund Me campaign for anything you want: a trip, new equipment, anything! Like with the rest of the site, you keep 60% of everything you raise. You can also mention a “big donation” amount which, when tipped that amount or higher, you can offer your fan a special gift.

When you create your ManyVids account, you automatically have access to setting up your own storefront. This is a separate tab from your videos where you can sell anything you want! Models use their store to sell panties and other tangible goods, access to their Snapchat, photosets, gamer tags, video/photo bundles, autographed photos, used toys, and more. You can also use it to run raffles and have every purchase of a certain item count as an entry into your raffle.

ManyVids frequently hosts contests with large cash prizes. The last one they hosted had a cash prize to the top 3 girls of $3,333 each along with 3 runner-up prizes of $333 each. Not only are these contests great ways to earn extra cash, but they also get all girls who participate more exposure.

Profits & Traffic – 10/10

ManyVids currently has over 439,000 registered members. They are one of the fastest-growing adult clip sites in the industry right now. A really cool and unique feature that they offer their models is the ability to search out buyers yourself.

If you visit the Members page, you can view the daily top spenders on the site as well as filter all members by ethnicity, location, if they’re a custom video buyer, store shopper, top reviewer, premium member, or Skype show buyer. You can use this to your advantage by searching out members who purchase items that you offer and get in contact with them.

Lots Of Profit To Be Made

I’ve found ManyVids to be one of the most profitable adult clip/store sites out there. Not only do I sell my premade videos daily, but I also sell memberships (which gives the buyer access to all of your videos that you chose to include in your membership plan) fairly often, custom videos several times a week, at least one Skype shows a week, and occasionally items from my store.

You keep 60% of all your gross revenue on the site. Although that isn’t the highest percentage in the adult industry, the traffic more than makes up for it. They also handle all chargebacks themselves, so you don’t have to worry about getting scammed.

Ease Of Using & Navigating The Site – 10/10

ManyVids is incredibly easy to use and navigate through. They do a great job making everything easy to find on both the models and buyer ends.

All of your important settings are organized on one page, making it easy to check your earnings and make any important changes you may need to make.

Payments & Cashouts – 10/10

ManyVids offers several different payout options. US checks are free to issue and the minimum payout is $100. They generally take 5-7 days to arrive. Payoneer is also free, but the minimum payout is only $50.

ACH bank transfer is only available in the United States. It is free to cash out and has a minimum payout of $150.

A wire transfer in the US or Canada costs $15 and has a minimum payout of $250. An international wire transfer costs $25 and also has a minimum payout of $250.

Privacy Protection & Geo-Blocking – 9/10

ManyVids offers easy to implement regional blocking. The only reason I gave them a 9 in this category instead of a perfect score is that they limit the number of regions and countries you can block.

They allow you to block up to 3 regions (states or provinces) and up to 3 countries. This limit is more than sufficient for most and won’t be a problem for the majority of models.

Aside from regional blocking, you can also block specific users from viewing your profile and contacting you.

As far as privacy protection and keeping your personal information secure, ManyVids is on top of their game. They’ve never had an issue with a model’s personal information being released.

If you have any concerns about other people logging into your account, they have that handled as well. You can choose to enable 2-step verification to your account.

What this means is that every time you go to sign in, you’ll have to enter both your password and a security code that’s generated by your mobile phone.

Customer Service & Support – 10/10

ManyVids has excellent customer service and support. Not only do they quickly respond to any questions you submit, but they also have an extensive FAQ page that will answer pretty much any question you may have about the site.

Many of the models on the site are also willing to help you out if you have something you’re confused about. ManyVids can be a great way to make new friends in the industry.

Conclusion: ManyVids Is Worth Trying
