Thank you so much for choosing us as your agency!
In this mini-first course, we want to teach you what a Webcam Model is and what an Agency is. Then, we will give you an insight into High Society Models and what we can do for you.
WHAT IS A WEBCAM MODEL?
Let’s start with the basics. What is a webcam model? Wikipedia advises, “A webcam model (colloquially, camgirl, camboy, or cam model) is a video performer who streams on the Internet with a live webcam broadcast. A webcam model often performs erotic acts online, such as stripping, masturbation, or sex acts in exchange for money, goods, or attention. They may also sell videos of their performances. Once viewed as a small niche in the world of adult entertainment, camming became “the engine of the porn industry,” according to Alec Helmy, the publisher of XBIZ, a sex-trade industry journal.”
What they say is correct. A webcam model is a video performer who streams on the Internet with a live webcam broadcast. But you do not have to do anything erotic or strip if you do not want to. There are many different ways to entertain your client. A webcam model prefers nudity; however, it is not essential.
We all started somewhere and know it can be daunting. Once upon a time, we all had no idea what webcam modelling was; even when Emily first started, she’d heard of things like Sex Line phone chats and ‘Babestation’ but didn’t know anything about webcam modelling, what it was or the insane income you can make from it. Delving into this industry is the best thing we have ever done, and we hope It is for you, too.
There seems to be a stigma against webcam models that we sit there and get naked. This is not the case. The webcam industry is a safe, secure and fun way for like-minded people to meet virtually and have “fun” in any way they feel comfortable.
Here at High Society Models & Co, we pride ourselves on allowing our models to have complete control of what they do within their “webcam shows” We would never allow them to do anything they are uncomfortable with.
If you feel most comfortable in a vest top and trackies and never get naked – Fine! If you feel good in lingerie and want to strip tease because It makes you feel good – Do it!
We have found that our models achieve higher incomes by just being themselves.
As your agents, we are here to train you with tips and tricks and support you, boost your confidence, help you realise your self-worth, and gain financial independence.
It makes us sad when people come to us with the vision that they cannot do webcam modelling because they feel they don’t “look right” This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Everyone is beautiful in their own way; there are clients for everyone. It’s very similar to dating websites; some may look at a blonde, slimmer woman and find her attractive, while others may look at a BBW brunette queen and prefer them. If clients wanted a pornstar, they would go and watch free porn. Clients use webcam models because they want more than just a 5-minute play. They want to build a connection and relationship with everyday women. They like the thrill of bumping into you down Lidl Middle Isle. Thanks to all the precautions we train you to take, this should never happen, but clients still like the “what if” fantasy.
The key is to remember that it’s your room (what we call your broadcasting profile) and your rules. You do not have to do anything you are ever uncomfortable with or do not want to do. We have a very high number of models who have never shown their faces or models who have never shown any nudity, and then we also have models who do strip and toy shows because they want to, as it makes them feel good. We can train you on how to use the sites we do and tips and tricks that have worked for us, but it’s down to you and what you’re comfortable with.
We all use an alias, “stage names,” different to our real names, and we keep all personal details private to clients. It’s up to you what you divulge to clients and what parts of the real “you” you show.
Some models change entirely and play a persona on cam; they are quiet and timid in real life, but on cam, they play a bratty, more dominating part; other models are loud and confident in real life but play a girl-next-door, innocent part. We always say to “be yourself” and let your true personality shine! But you can also use Cam to create new versions of yourself if you want to.
HAVE FUN WITH IT!
WHAT IS A WEBCAM MODELLING AGENCY?
Wikipedia states, “A webcam modelling agency is a company that represents and manages webcam models, connecting them with opportunities to perform live webcam shows for viewers online. The agency typically provides support and guidance to the models and handles administrative tasks such as payments and scheduling. The agency acts as a middleman between the models and the platforms or websites where they perform, helping to streamline the process and maximise the models’ earning potential.”
Whether you are coming over from another agency (what we call a transfer) or you’re brand new to this industry, we feel it is essential that everyone understands what an agency is, why people go with an agency and what we can do for you.
We are always open and upfront with all our models. We have heard horror stories of people transferring from other agencies who had no idea how much they were taking or why and were shoved into a WhatsApp group without training or support. We are always transparent about everything here at High Society Models. We are an agency built for webcam models, by webcam models.
Unlike most agencies, we are a legitimate Agency, not just a third-party Group / Studio. We are an official webcam modelling agency that offers countless benefits you won’t find anywhere else. Most groups and agencies pay you weekly or daily and nothing else. High Society Models provides more than any other group or agency out there. We are not some robotic, financially driven agency like some. We are just normal (well… kind of, haha), kind-hearted webcam models who want the best for anyone who joins us!
Our fees
All Webcam Modelling Agencies charge an agency fee. As a well-established agency, we have heard many stories of other agencies lying about their fees or changing them without their knowledge. Here at High Society Models, we have never done this. We are always very transparent.
We currently use two sites to stream on. We have used Adultwork for over three years. It is very popular, but over time, it has become outdated and plagued with technical issues, and its support is hard to access. We have had to evolve and grow for HSM and all of our models; we always give the best chance to maximise your profits and feel supported! It is because of this that we have moved over to Streamate. Models will now be signed up to BOTH sites. To maximise your success, we advise streaming on both platforms simultaneously! Both sites can use the same webcam and mic. This doubles your chances of earning and keeps you occupied with incoming traffic from two places!
As you have hopefully read from our benefits, we do A LOT for our models. More than any other agency out there. We ask for a 15% agency fee to stream on Adultwork and a 10% agency fee to stream on Streamate, which we feel is more than valid. Some agencies take up to 20%, which is vile. Add that to the fact that it actually goes down to 0% with progression – It becomes the LOWEST agency fee out of ANY agency.
Due to using two different sites, we have different fees for both.
ADULTWORK
Adultwork always charges a 30% site fee. Everyone on the site pays this, whether you are with an agency or not, regardless of which agency you are with. Some agencies even lie about the 30% by saying it’s higher, making their agency fee look lower, but rest assured, we are ALWAYS transparent here. The site fee has always been, and unfortunately always will be 30%.
Streamate
Streamate charges a site fee of 65%. While this may seem steep on the surface, Streamate spends a lot of time and money advertising and pushing profiles out to affiliate sites, bringing in more traffic. They also use sophisticated algorithms to maximise your success. Traffic is significantly higher than Adultwork’s, which gives you more chances to earn! We can now connect with users from the US, which you cannot on Adultwork.
We still have the normal progression scheme. All admins are Admins of both group chats (Adultwork and Streamate), But we have four categories on the progression scheme for Streamate:
Who are High Society Models?
Emily, a former highly accomplished webcam model, founded High Society Models. These days, her schedule is filled to the brim with agency management, leaving her with little time to cam herself. Our Managing Director, Managing Director Assistants, all Managers, and the entire Admin team are all active, current, extremely successful webcam models, so we know firsthand what is needed by their agent and agency.
Of course, we have wondered about the benefits of working with an agency a few times. So, we have collated why High Society Models is the best agency to work with, as opposed to any other or being independent (where you are not with an agency and use the third-party site solo). You can read them here if you haven’t read them already. This list is updated regularly as we work hard to bring new, inventive, and exciting things to the agency and industry.
High Society Models has been established since the beginning of 2021. Emily has previously worked for another agency, recruiting for them on social media and running their group chats. She grew increasingly frustrated when she would bring new, inventive ideas to better the agency but was always turned down. Eventually, she decided enough was enough, as there was a niche in the market for a decent Agency. Before HSM was created, agencies paid you weekly and put you in a group chat for support; that was it. As a cam model herself, giving 15% of her earnings, this didn’t seem fair. High Society Models single-handedly and continuously bring things to the industry that had/have never been done before.
Within our first two months of launching, we had over 80 models. By September 2021 (4 months est.), we had 300 fully verified, active models. We have gone down in history as being the fastest-growing agency ever. Fact. Two months later, we doubled in size. From 300 models to 600 models. Which is insane growth. Since then, we have consistently reviewed inactive profiles every few months. We now have (of this being written 10/07/2024) 962 fully verified, active (within the last 3 months) models. We have over 60 Admin Team members throughout our 8 group chats (16 altogether, as we have 1 for each Streaming site) managed by our amazing Management Team of over 25! (Directors, Managers & Assistant Managers) We are now the largest agency in the world.
We truly believe it is because we are the best, and we continuously bring new, inventive things to the industry.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER TRAINING?
Once you have passed training (YAY – the fun is in sight!), please send a screenshot of your results to the business number (the number you have corresponded with about your verification). We will then send you a welcome PDF along with your login details.
Ensure you follow the Welcome PDF, which contains important instructions on what to do before going live (changing your password, consenting to your photos, and sending us your bank details so you can get paid!).
You will then be added to 1-2 group chats (one for Adultwork Support and the other for Streamate Support). Your Managing Director’s Assistant, Manager, and entire Admin team will be the same for both group chats. This team is your go-to for support. We will introduce you and ask everyone to welcome you; you will then be met with a flurry of lovely welcomes from the admin team and Models. Each group chat has around 100-150 participants. Everyone is active, current models. Your manager will then introduce themselves and offer you a 1-1 workshop call. We highly advise you to have a workshop call, even if you have done webcam modelling before. Even now, we still pick up on tips and tricks from other models! It’s a great way to share knowledge. You can have as many 1-1 workshops as you like.
From here, your Managers will take on your first point of call. We have an incredible Director and Manager team. We have created the structure of our agency below, including who to contact and when. We devised this because Emily (Agent and owner) is taking a back step from the day-to-day running of the agency to concentrate on new projects, events, and all things behind closed doors that ensure this agency is run to a high standard.
