Webcams.com Frequently Asked Questions
We have a huge variety of features that make our program the best available webcam program on the Internet. They start with our conversions which are higher than the average program due to using our own merchant account. We have a unique, technologically advanced fraud system in place which allows us to approve more legitimate transactions. Not only will you convert well, we provide a huge amount of promotional tools to make the sales process as easy as possible for our affiliates.
A: We start at $100 per order for our 'pay per order' program. For our 'pay per sign up' program, we pay you $42+ per $4.99 sign up or $25+ per free lifetime sign up! For the 'pay per signup', you get paid as soon as your surfer creates a membership!
We also have revenue sharing if you prefer. You earn 25% of customer in-site spending and 60% of customer subscription fees. This is a gross figure (before processing fees!) You can choose whether you want per sign up or revshare.
60% Membership transactions include the $4.99 trial & the $39.98 recurring fees. They also include the optional $9.98 VIP monthly fee for the lifetime option.
25% site spending transactions include any site credit purchased by customers and any per minute spending in premium chat.
You will receive recurring revenue until the account cancels for both of these transaction types with the revshare option.

A: To participate in the Webcams.com affiliate program you just need to create an account with us and agree to abide by our terms and conditions. Those who participate in the program earn a lot more money for the proportional amount of traffic and sales they send to our program because we make sure we have the best payouts and the best, most exclusive marketing tools.
A: No! We do not allow our affiliates to spam and we do not accept traffic from spam-sources. If you spam our sites we will cancel your account and we will report you to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the ISP that you were spamming. We also do not allow can-spam compliant unsolicited commercial email.
A: We allow traffic from all sources except ch*ld pornography sites, b*stiality sites, sites that target minors, or traffic derived from spam or unsolicited commercial email, CAN-SPAM compliant or not. This means we do allow traffic from search engines, banner advertisements, blogs, pay per click marketing, file sharing services (such as Limewire), TGP/MGP galleries, link trades, webcam community sites, dating sites, chat room referrals (other than unsolicited instant message spamming), solicited email, etc.
Solicited email means email to people who have legitimately had contact with you or your organization in the past and have specifically signed up to receive emails from you. For example, emails of customers who have joined your site(s), opted in to your newsletter, or in any other way have consented to receive emails from you. Their opt in information must be made available upon request (Opt-in IP address, date/time stamp, etc).
A: Payments are distributed weekly once the minimum payout is reached. Pay periods start on Sunday and end on Saturday, and the payments are issued the following Friday.
The available payment methods are: Check via standard mail, Check via FedEx, and Epassporte payments directly to your Epassporte account.

A: We understand that there are many cam sites available and they all have great features. Some key reasons you should use us instead of them:
- We start at $25 per free sign up and go all the way up to $100+ depending on your link preferences. A lot of webcam programs say they pay a huge amount 'per sign up' such as starting at $60+, but really, they only pay you when a customer buys time on their site. We pay you as soon as the customer's membership is approved.
- High revshare payouts for a long term income stream
- Revshare is calculated on a gross basis, before processing fees.
- Revshare is tracked in the database instead of with cookies, to ensure long-term performance
- Webcams.com is a trusted domain name. Customers will feel legitimacy as soon as they see the domain name of the site they are joining. Trust
equals more sign ups and better ratios
- Better marketing tools, including full access to all model images and videos
- No over saturation.
A: Not with the per sign up program. We feel it would be unfair if we deducted your earnings for refunds or chargebacks that we receive. It is not your fault that Visa and Mastercard Member Banks unfairly issue chargebacks for customers upon request and therefore you should not be penalized for it.
We do deduct refunds and chargebacks from the revenue sharing payouts.
However, we will catch you if you fraudulently refer customers to Webcams.com and in these cases you will not be paid for any of your earnings at all, including non-fraudulent customers. We reserve the right to terminate any account we want for suspicion of fraud.
A: We grant all of our affiliates a limited license to use any and all of the content on Webcams.com unless the performer specifically requests that her material not be used. If the performer requests the material to be taken down you must comply immediately.
You are free to make any custom pages, banners, or other promotional material using our vast array of content to sell our site. We are also available to create custom, tailor made pages created by our professional team of designers. All you have to do is ask.
The best part about custom promotional material is that it looks real. Live shows sell. Please remember this when creating your own custom promotional material for Webcams.com.
A: We understand that promoting a webcam site is not like promoting a standard pay site (for those of you who are used to typical adult websites). The best thing to do is sell the live performers. Go through our performers to find the ones that best suite your type of site. The most attractive girl on the site isn't necessarily the most appealing for your surfers. If you sell the fact that these performers are live and the surfers will be able to actually see them, hear them, and talk to them will really convince them to pull out their wallet. There is nothing better you can do than sell the live sex show aspect of Webcams.com.
Keep your pages fresh and try to be creative. It's ok if you're not the best web designer. Amateur pages work very well because they sell the live chat, not the design. Sell the fact that the girl (or guy) that they are seeing is actually live and available for a live sex show or live webcam show with them. Sell the fact that we have thousands of different people online willing to do live shows daily. Real and Live! That's the key.
A: Our standard referral commission is 10% of all money earned by your referred affiliates. Feel free to refer as many of your friends and associates as you like to the program. Please remember that they will have to go through the same screening process as you.
