Why us?
We are a webcam agency, built by webcam models. Below, you will find 16 reasons why High Society Models & Co are the best agency to join, as opposed to being with any other or being independent.
FREE TRAINING, tips & tricks
Not only do we offer intensive initial training we also offer continuous training along with so many tips, tricks, script examples, schedule examples, motivational credit break downs, acronym dictionary and so much more! This is all on an exclusive, hidden training site which you will have a private log in for. Myself and the managers also do 1-1 video or phone calls to go over things in more depth if you were to ever need us to.
Ongoing support
Whether it’s from one of our amazing group chats of over 250 other models, or from a catch up call, rant, chin wag, or whatever with me, to our managers “Monday Mental Health Check-in with Gemma”, whether it’s to do with webcamming, or something in your personal life, we are always here to support you in any way we can. We genuinely care about our models!
Low minimum payout
The streaming site we use has a minimum pay out of credits set at 200. Meaning, if you don’t hit 200 credits in a week, you will have to wait until you hit 200 to be able to transfer them (and then wait 3 weeks for them to be paid to your bank like stated below) Most Agencies have 50-200 minimum payout as well. At High Society Models, our minimum payout is only 15 credits! Even if you make 15 credits in a week, we will still always transfer it to you on a Tuesday morning (or before with ‘on request pay’) That’s a few costa coffees; every little helps!
incentives, competitions & prizes
We often hold competitions, and incentives for prizes. Eg. We do “Webcammer of the week” so whoever myself and the managers feel has grafted (not necessarily the highest earner) and truly deserves it gets £10 extra in their bank. We also host “Game nights” where again, you win prizes and credits for simply logging in and earning. We have just paid out over £1,000 in bonus prizes that included spa breaks, and spa getaways. We also have one running at the moment where you can win and pick from things like a holiday, helicopter ride, or even a zoo keeper for a day! You wouldn’t get those kind of bonuses if you were not with High Society Models.
Group chats
This may seem like an odd benefit to some, but webcam modelling can get very lonely, especially if you are having a bad day. All the models on the group chat are so supportive! They motivate you, they empower you, and most importantly, support you; in every aspect of your life, not just regards to webcamming. We are the best group of colleagues you will ever meet!
Parties & events
We regularly hold parties, and/or meet ups for our models. We had our launch party back in August, and had a massive Christmas Party in December. We hired a huge townhouse and had a private booth booked in one of the best bars in Manchester – It was so much fun!
We are registered on Companies House
Companies House is an essential part of the business community, as it acts as a central hub for all company details. It provides necessary protection and information that results in a stable and fair environment of business operation.
We are VAT registered
VAT registration is the process of listing your business with the government as active in production and sales.
After a business registers for VAT, it’s able to reclaim any VAT paid on company purchases and becomes responsible for many different things, but the main thing for you is:
- Charging VAT on any goods or services sold (and charging the right amount!)
Most agencies charge their models VAT (on-top of their already insanely high agency fees) here at High Society Models, we do not charge you VAT. We pay it all.
I am compliance trained
Compliance training is training mandated by legislation, regulation or policy. It educates me on the laws or regulations applicable to do my job function within this industry. These laws are predominantly in place to maintain the safety of the workplace and the dignity of our models.
Legal assistance & copyright protection
We are officially an enterprise client of one of the biggest law firms in the UK. This means we now have fast access to highly experienced solicitors. The law firm consists of very experienced, partner level solicitors recruited from top 100 UK law firms or legal departments of large international business. There are two main reasons why we have done this. It’s a massive goal for us and hopefully something we feel will contribute to the stigma against Webcam Models, and also protect them more.
Protection for our models –
When I started webcam modelling it became apparent to me that there was no real “protection” for us. No agent that I have ever come across helps models to protect their content, and also educates them in the laws surrounding your content if it is leaked, AND helps them prosecute any perpetrators.
Protection for our business, content and training –
It came to our attention recently that agencies are copying our work.
All our content on our Instagram and other social media platforms including our training is already automatically protected by copyright, but this was not enough for us.
We did not work hard for someone to come along and steal our work. It’s illegal under the “passing off” and copyright infringement laws.
We reserve the right to prosecute any party found copying, distributing copies, renting or lending copies, performing, showing or playing in public, making adaptions of our work, and/or putting it on the internet.
Profile traffic boosts
Although the site we use already has over 6 million clients, we still like to promote our models and to draw in more traffic to their profiles, which essentially means more income to our models. We do that in several ways.
free group featuring on the streaming site
The streaming site we use allows the group manager to bid and pay to feature the whole group on the Homepage. We have discovered that this massively boosts the traffic of the models online. Every so often I send out up to date dates of what days we are featured on. We try and feature as much as possible.
Free training on site navigation
The streaming site we use is somewhat outdated, although it is the busiest and most successful site out there. At first glance it is very daunting, and hard to navigate around. To use it to it’s full advantage, we give free training via training videos which shows you step by step how to do each different avenue of making money on the site.
Frequent Pay - Weekly pay and on request pay
The streaming site we use pay 3 weeks in arrears, meaning, if you were not with an agency on the site you would have to wait 3 weeks for a pay out. A lot of agencies pay every 2 weeks. We pay every Tuesday morning before 12pm. We have now also introduced ‘On request pay’. In this industry you hear of ‘Daily Pay’ agencies who are (were) our biggest competitor, as some people want to make money quickly. So with us always wanting to improve and to always be the best out there, I had to take it a step better… ‘On request pay’ does what it says on the tin. It gives our models the chance to have the money they have made immediately instead of waiting until Tuesday.
I remember what it was like not being able to afford my gas and running on the emergency credit. We want our models to. know they can turn to us and webcam modelling whenever they need to, and that their earnings are easily accessible.
Merchandise
We have designed and created our own leotards which are readily available to any of our models should they wish to purchase one. It’s a great statement piece, and an amazing way to promote your agency! – More merchandise will be released soon!
Everything we do is above board
We are going to section this point out, as it is THE most important point. We are the only agency out there that does everything above board. We do everything legitimate, and we are always transparent with our models. This, is what makes us continuously stand out from every other agency out there.
I am GDPR trained
GDPR is a regulation that requires businesses to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens for transactions that occur within EU member states. Companies that collect data on citizens in European Union (EU) countries need to comply with strict new rules around protecting customer data. This means we are trained to hold your personal data securely.
We are registered with the ICO
The ICO (the Information Commissioner’s Office) is an independent body dedicated to upholding information rights in the public interest and data privacy for individuals in the UK. This entails making sure they process personal information in a fair and transparent manner that respects an individual’s rights. – We are registered and therefore commissioned by them.
Payments come from a legitimate business account
Again, this is a very important point, as it effects your payments. Most agencies pay from their personal current account, because where they don’t do anything above board they are unable to get a Business Account. This leads into a lot of agencies unable to pay their models very suddenly, because it is a breach of a current account Terms and Conditions to use it as a business account (ie. paying out to numerous payees regularly) and therefore their accounts are shut down with immediate effect, meaning they would need to re-submit a beneficiary application to the streaming site, and then wait 3 weeks for the first initial payment, all whilst models are left without their pay. This would never happen here at High Society Models, as we have a legitimate Business Account.
Low agency fees
As I mentioned above, I am always transparent with my models. As you may have seen in the information pack, the site we use uses the term “credits” 1 credit is worth 55p with us. What most agencies will not tell you, nor explain to you is that this is made up of 30% site fee (which sounds a lot, but is the lowest around; especially considering it’s the busiest site out there) The end goal is to launch my own streaming site, and the site fee will be no where near as much as that! As an agency, I ask for 15%, which goes down as you progress within the agency. This is a lot less than most agencies, especially considering how much more we do for our models compared to others. Most other agencies take 20-25% of your credits. Which means you take home less than 50% of your credits!! (disgusting) We think what we ask for is extremely fair. We have NO set up fees, or monthly member costs. If you don’t earn, you won’t have to pay anything.
Progression
One of the most important things to me when starting this agency was that there was room for growth. From being with another agency previously, I knew how much I wanted to help others, and be more than just a model within the agency. Unfortunately, it was not readily available for me to do more, and be credited for within the previous agency. That is why I have made the “Progression Scheme” so models within the agency can build their way up, if they choose to. Some models have worked their way up so high they are now running their own agency, one of our sister agencies!
International nationalities
We are one of the very few agencies that can set up models from outside of the UK. (We can accept any country apart from the US – this is due to insurance purposes) I will be doing another post separately about what we need in order to do this. We are able to send international payments from our business bank account, or we can use Paypal too.
News articles
High Society Models has been featured in The Sun, The US Sun, Daily Star, Birmingham Live, Gloucester Live, Nottingham Live, Manchester Evening News, Jo Co Uk, Echo, Metro, Clarin, MSN News, North Wales Live, Wales Online, Emintra, LaPatilla, Stern, Flipboard and many other news papers world wide including places like Peru, Germany and Argentina! This led to our social media being flooded with followers, and not just those interested in webcamming themselves. We have gained a lot of followers who could potentially evolve into clients too.
Collabs & photoshoots
We are about to host a massive collaboration with numerous businesses which we are hoping will become a regular occurrence. This is an opportunity for small businesses to collaborate with our models to promote their business, and a way for our models to have a fun day taking photos, videos etc for their profiles and social media.
Free promotion on social media
Due to Emily’s success on her personal social media accounts we have now launched a High Society Models Twitter and Tik Tok to feature any models that wish to be featured (so not worried about being anonymous) on there for free. – We will link your unique URL, which will direct clients to your page.
