To identify yourself to these customers, select the icon.


  • Make sure you've got the latest Flash and Java updates (and make sure your viewers do too!) Enhance the SexcamsUnlimited experience for you and your guests by downloading the latest updates to Flash and Java (the downloads are free!) And, if your viewers are having trouble connecting to you, remind them to make the updates as well!

FanClubs

  • Actively manage your FanClub. More and more SexcamsUnlimited users are discovering an exciting new way to explore SexcamsUnlimited: The Live FanClub Navigator. This fast-growing navigation feature lists live Video Hosts in order of how much content they contribute to their FanClub. For example, Video Hosts who update their daily diaries, populate their "My Favorite Memories", and publish more archive images and videos appear first, while Video Hosts who are less actively involved in their FanClubs appear on later pages.


  • Publish as many archive images and archive videoclips as possible. Two out of every three SexcamsUnlimited users select Video Hosts based on a review of archives taken within the past few hours. The "Hot Archives" feature (including Archive Explorer) is the most popular Video Host navigation and selection tool with users. It's a simple formula: Video Hosts with the freshest archives get the most traffic!

    To manage your archives, head to the Video Host Console and choose "Modify My Video Host Account". In the "Archive Images" section, select "Automatically take pictures every 5 minutes." (During live videochat, you can also upload additional "posed" archive images at the click of your mouse.

    In addition to keeping your archive fresh, remember to edit your archives frequently. Make sure you're putting your best face forward by selecting your most complimentary images for your archive material.
Videochat Tips

  • Keep your VideoChat fresh and new. If you're intent on building up a group of regulars, make sure that each time you host your videochat room, there's something new and different. Keep it exciting! Experiment with new camera angles, locations and wardrobe. Adopt a different "theme" for each day...do something unexpected, exiting and new with each videochat session...always give your regulars a fresh reason to visit you!


  • Start off with a Bang. From the moment you begin your live videochat session, create an atmosphere of liveliness and action. Most viewers check out the action in guest-chat mode first, so give them something they just can't refuse! Chat up a storm! Have a friend chat with you to get the ball rolling; it's the "restaurant rule" - the busier your room looks, the more likely people are to drop in and sample the menu...


  • Draw a crowd. Make your session free for the first 15 minutes. Offer a "free day", one day a week, or even just one free hour each week, where future visitors can "get to know you".


  • Record your live session for later playback. Earn money even when you're away from your computer! Using EasyCam, you can record your live session and play it back later and charge a per-minute fee in the Replay Section. SexcamsUnlimited does all the work of serving the replay for you, so you can rest assured knowing you're making money - even while you sleep!


  • Prove that you're live Ask your visitors "What would you like to see me do next?" And, as long as it isn't anything against SexcamsUnlimited's policy - or outside of your comfort zone, do it!


  • Use audio/sound The best way to talk with your visitor and hold his attention is to let him hear your voice. Make sure you're using a sound card and microphone, and advertise that you offer audio. (Click here for more details on providing audio in your videochat room.)


  • Be Patient! Your first few Video Host sessions might draw fewer people than you hoped for. But if you stick with it, and develop some loyal regulars that show up night after night, your popularity will grow and grow.

    Also, plan to host your videochat room for at least a few hours. Video Hosts report that the first 15 minutes are often slow, since most visitors haven't discovered you yet.


  • 'Couples' Content. (Applies to adult-themed categories only) While there's a healthy amount of traffic in the "Couples" category on SexcamsUnlimited, "Women Home Alone" is the most popular area. However, many of the top-performing "Women Home Alone" hosts - particularly those with an encouraging, supportive and playful life partner - sprinkle their archives with occasional 'couples' content that includes their significant other. (If your spouse or S.O. is shy or bashful about appearing with you in archives, no problem -- 'couples' archives featuring only body parts are routine.)

    These archive visuals help enhance the fantasy for videochat visitors and fans, making it easier to imagine themselves in the place of your partner. They also support assorted hosting themes, such as "My boyfriend's out of town. Want to play?" or "Just broke up with my fiance & need some TLC", etc. Note: Any adult appearing for the first time in an adults-only archive category must obtain an SexcamsUnlimited ID-Card in advance.


  • Urge your VideoChat visitors to vote for you (and win "SexcamsUnlimited Viewer Awards"). Video Hosts who win (or place second or third) in hundreds of different weekly award categories enjoy greater exposure on SexcamsUnlimited. And winning an award is easy...often, just one or two votes is enough to win a runner-up award, which is enough to get your screen name on the "winners" list.

    Any registered SexcamsUnlimited visitor can vote for you by clicking on the "rate this Video Host" link beneath your video window! And, once you win, place second, or place third for any "SexcamsUnlimited Viewer Award", SexcamsUnlimited places a handsome award graphic on your SexcamsUnlimited profile page...forever!
Guest Relations

  • TALK to your visitors. The most important skill to master is to engage your visitors. The most successful Video Hosts are the "chattiest". Ask your visitors what brought them to SexcamsUnlimited. Ask about their interests and hobbies. Find out what turns them on! Relationships are always a good subject (ex-girlfriends, etc), which can often lead to intimate chats about fantasies and other personal subjects... build a rapport with your visitors -- TALK to them! And don't forget to populate your "My Favorite Things" on your SexcamsUnlimited Profile page (Select "Edit My Video Host Account" on the Video Host Console)... these are great conversation starters!


  • REMEMBER your visitors - and help your visitors remember you. If there's one thing that all the top SexcamsUnlimited Video Hosts have in common, it's that they remember their visitors. e.g., "Hi Harry, haven't seen you since last week. How is your uncle doing, is he still in the hospital?" When you remember your visitors, you make them feel special ... and, like all people, they come back to those who make them feel special. So the next time a visitor arrives in your chatroom, talk them up, and take lots of notes! With the Member Notes section in your showcam window, you can leave notes and revisit them when the member is in a live session with you simply by clicking on the member's screen name.

    Your best visitors are the ones that return day after day. So get to know them, and make sure they get to know you. Become friends. Share intimacies. Forge that special bond with your visitors and keep them coming back, again and again and again.


  • Be kind to your guests. Many visitors will enter text chat first to see if they want to spend more time with you in private. Take some time to talk to them -- guest chatters are often established members, and are just "testing the waters" before they jump in. This can be financially beneficial to you as well, since engaging a guest in stimulating text chat that makes him or her feel welcomed and appreciated is more likely to result in the user entering your Premium Video Chat.

    The mission of SexcamsUnlimited is to offer customers the finest videochat experience on the internet, in an environment that ensures fairness and respect to all parties. Being rude or disrespectful to guests may result in your account being closed, temporarily or permanently.


  • Don't overuse the "kick" feature. SexcamsUnlimited has a brand new feature that gives you more control over your chat sessions -- it's called "kick." You can choose to "kick" a visitor just for that session, or you can "kick" permanently, which means that the visitor will never be able to enter another one of your sessions. This feature is intended to be used only if a visitor is harassing you or being disruptive. Make sure to use this tool only when absolutely necessary. If you misuse or overuse the "kick" feature, SexcamsUnlimited reserves the right to take action, including suspending or terminating your account.
