questions
How do I know I’m Eligible to become a member?
If you are over 18, have photographic ID (this must be a passport if your nationality is not UK), a bank account OR PayPal then you are eligible to become a model.
I don’t feel I am confident enough to be a webcam model?
Webcamming may feel daunting, but as your agents we are here to help, support you and boost your confidence in any way we can! When you have successfully passed verification, you can be added into a Whatsapp group with other models and an incredible admin team. Each group chat has a Manager, an Assistant Manager, a Senior Admin, an Admin and Trainee Admins. Each one of these women are lovely and will empower and motivate you. We’re all here to help you see how truly beautiful you are.
What do I need to become a webcam model?
– A Bank account or PayPal
– A device to work from e.g., Laptop, PC, phone or tablet
– A Valid form of photographic ID (this must be a passport if your nationality is not UK)
I don’t have a laptop, can I still webcam?
Yes! A lot of our models use their mobiles or tablets. It is recommended to use something with a keyboard to make your life easier when typing to clients. You can buy bluetooth keyboard attachments, or, if you’re comfortable enough you can use your audio to speak rather than type. Again, it is all dependent on what YOU feel comfortable doing.
Do I have to get naked on webcam?
No! You most certainly do not have to. You do not have to do ANYTHING you are not comfortable with. There seems to be a massive stigma against webcam models where people seem to think you just sit there and get naked. This is NOT the case. Yes, there are sexual elements to camming, of course there is. It depends on you as a person, and what the client wants. Here at High Society, we will give you any tips and tricks in order to tease and build a genuine connection. There is no reason you cannot earn good money if you are creative.
What do most models “do” on Webcam?
A webcam models role online is to entertain clients via a live video link – how you do that is completely down to your discretion. You are in complete control, and you do not have to do anything you are uncomfortable with. Nudity is preferred of a webcam model, but it is not mandatory, and you are well within your rights to refuse, kick people out of chat or ask for tips. Models in the agency vary massively and there is absolutely no judgement or obligation to divulge to anyone what you do online. Some models have never done anything sexual, whereas some do extreme taboo and fetishes. We accept and encourage any legal fantasies or fetishes our models like to do.
Can I webcam with a friend or partner?
Absolutely! We would have to set you up a separate “couples” profile and verify the other member, but once it’s all set up you can log on like you would on your own personal profile. You are permitted to upload joint content to your private photo and video galleries on your personal profile, though. You can run your solo profile and your joint couples profile at the same time.
Can I be anonymous?
Yes! In some ways, all our models are anonymous as we all use a “stage” name, so a different name to our actual name in order to hide our identity. It is up to the individual if they ever tell a client their true name, but we, as your agent would always advise against this. We can tailor your profile to minimise the chance of you being found or searchable online I.e. only uploading photos that show your body rather than facial shots and changing your location settings. The agency cannot guarantee you will never be found but we do our utmost to prevent it from happening.
How much can I expect to earn?
This varies and is dependent on multiple factors such as your experience, confidence, popularity, how often you go online, what times you can go online, what you offer and what your rates are. You are paid by a per-minute rate which you can edit as you like as you become more experienced online, but we will start you off with a minimum of £1.19 per minute in group mode and £1.49 in private mode. The streaming site we use works in “credits” 1 credit is worth 55p. So, if you make 100 credits that equates to £55. 1000 credits, equates to £550 and so on.
How and when am I paid?
All payments are made via bank transfer to your chosen bank account or Paypal. We pay every Tuesday morning (usually before 12pm) A working week runs Monday – Monday, and whatever you make is then paid the Tuesday. The cut off on a Monday is normally between 9am-12pm. We also do “on request pay” so say for instance you have a bill coming out on Thursday and you need the credits you’ve made since Monday, I can transfer them to you. You can request your credits whenever you want.
Do I have to work a certain number of hours?
Nope! You are free to choose your own working hours. There are no mandatory work times or minimum work requirements whatsoever. You work as little or often as you like.
Do I have to go on “live” webcam?
No, you don’t have to live webcam if you don’t feel comfortable doing so. Your earnings may be less than someone who does live webcam shows, but there are lots of different avenues to earn an income alongside live webcam, or, instead of. We can set your profile so you also (or just) offer phone calls (your number is hidden, the clients call via the streaming site which directs it to your mobile) SMS (again, they text via the streaming site, your number will never be divulged to the client) Rental of photos and videos and selling of clothing and toys. It is also worth mentioning, there is also an option on Webcam to just type. You do not have to have your audio on if you do not want to, in fact, a lot of our models only ever type unless audio is requested. (It’s also another way to build credits up – as it takes longer to type!)
Do I have to look a certain way?
Absolutely not! Here at High Society Models & Co we believe in the thesis that every body type is beautiful. There are clients out there for everyone, everyone has different “types” and this job is more about personality than it is about looks. If a client wanted to go and simply watch some porn star, they would go and watch free porn. They don’t want to talk to a porn star robot. They want someone with some personality that they can have a genuine connection and some fun with.
Are there any hidden fees?
We are always transparent with our models. The site we currently use take a 30% site fee, which may sound a lot but it is the lowest around. We use this site because the traffic and it’s clients are the best out there. it’s busy yet the ratio of respectful clients I feel is higher than any other site. We also ask for a 15% agency fee, which again is the lowers around. Most agencies take 20-25% which I think is vile. Considering all the additional benefits we provide as well. This is all worked out and taken off of you before you receive your GBP transfer to your bank. Hence 1 credit is worth 55p, and the equation is credits x 0.55 (the 45% is the 30% site fees and 15% agency fees) so if you make 1000 credits that is still £550 into your bank with all the fees taken off already. There are no additional fees whatsoever.
Do I have to pay tax?
We like to advise our models to do everything “by the books” but it is your reasonability to declare your earnings to HMRC as you are self-employed. We can help give advice on what to do, expenses, accounts to use etc. As with any form of income you are required to declare your earnings and pay tax. This is your responsibility being self-employed. We take no responsibility for non-payment of tax.
Is there a sign-up fee?
Not at all. Unlike with other agencies, it is completely free to sign up with us.
Can I leave at any time?
Yes, you are in no contract with us whatsoever. Again, we differ from other agencies when it comes to this. We will release your profile intact, and any credits will be transferred to you when received from the streaming site.
How are my personal details stored?
Here at our agencies, we take data protection very seriously. All our agents are GDPR qualified and registered legally with the ICO commissioner’s office. We will always make sure your personal details are stored correctly, securely and safely.
