How to Make Money as a Chaturbate Model
Chaturbate offers multiple income streams, giving you flexibility to earn in ways that work best for you. Here are the main methods successful models use:
💸 Public Tips
The foundation of Chaturbate's model economy. Viewers tip you tokens during public broadcasts for various activities. Set up a tip menu with different token amounts for different actions - from simple requests to more elaborate performances. The more engaging your shows, the more tips you'll receive.
- Set custom tip goals and rewards
- Interactive tip-controlled toys (Lovense, OhMiBod)
- Build a loyal fanbase who regularly tips
🎮 Games & Interactive Features
Make your shows more engaging with built-in games like Keno, Wheel of Fortune, and tip goals. These features encourage viewers to tip more while making your broadcasts more entertaining and interactive.
- Keno boards with prizes and rewards
- Wheel spins for random activities
- Custom tip goals with milestone rewards
🔐 Private Shows
One-on-one or small group shows where you set the price per minute (typically 6-90 tokens). Private shows offer higher earnings potential and allow for more personalized interactions. You control who can access your private shows and can set minimum token requirements.
- Set your own per-minute rate
- Minimum token balance requirements
- Minimum show duration guarantees
- Cam2cam option for mutual viewing
📸 Media Sales
