Recently the trend of camguys charging for access to their social media pages has been on the rise. Many webcam summit events have been teaching performers this is a way to open up new revenue streams capitalizing on their popularity. On Chaturbate I am seeing camguys charge tokens for monthly or lifetime access with the amounts ranging from 1 token to 250 tokens or sometimes even more. The problem with this is many of the camguys using this strategy have little to no following & are setting themselves up for failure rather than using social media correctly to help grow their following.
Social media platforms like Twitter is one camguys should never charge for since it is widely used & easy to grow a following on. Twitter also allows the account owner to include links to their camsite chat room, OnlyFans page, personal blog site, etc. Other social media platforms like Snap Chat for example a camguy could use as a premium account & charge tokens to access the account while giving followers a different level of access to the camguy. This way the camguy could use Twitter to offer information about his shows to the masses & then a premium account for those who want more.
CGN has also witnessed a group of Chaturbate users instruct camguys to not promote themselves on social media & not to make such accounts publicly known. Instead they are instructing camguys the only promotion they need is for their OnlyFans account & it should only come from their chat room. One camguy who actually bought into their strategy regularly complained of little growth on his OnlyFans account despite having good viewer numbers on Chaturbate. This strategy clearly sets camguys up for failure & no camsite or industry events suggest doing this either.
I wouldn't ever consider paying for access to a camguy's social media as that is how he should be alerting me when he'll be online or is online. If I want something more than a regular chat room experience I'd just take the camguy into a private show. What do you think of camguys charging for access to their social media?
