Why Use Agencies or Cam Girl Studios?
There are plenty of reasons why people decide to go into the live camming industry but the two biggest motivating factors for this kind of work are money and flexibility.
So, if the flexibility of being your own boss and taking full control over your time and content is a draw, why would anyone want to partner up with an agency or studio?
The simple answer? Money.
Camming is one of the best ways to make money from the sex industry.
With attention-grabbing headlines all over the net reporting six figure incomes for the best cam models, it is easy to imagine that anyone can make a great living from being a webcam model.
The truth is that, for the majority of people, this isn’t the case.
Camming success is not just about being attractive and eager to please online. It takes a good deal of organisation, hard-work and business acumen to make it pay, and pay well.
Professional cam studios and agencies offer models the opportunity to take their broadcasts to the next level by providing:
- Qualified advice and training about how to maximise your cam earnings.
- High-quality broadcast equipment.
- A modern, safe and secure space from which to broadcast.
- A competent technical support team
- Efficient admin back-up to make sure you get paid correctly and on time.
- Access to camming industry professionals and events.
The bottom line is that using a studio or agency offers cam models the BEST possible chance of making more money – by providing the perfect setup.
While money may well be the motivating factor for most models who sign up with an agency, there are other reasons for getting some help with your camming career.
Studios and agencies make money out of their models, and it is in their interests to ensure that they look great, have the best quality broadcast feeds and understand how to convert a viewing audience to a high-paying one. With big tips from generous whales to be earned, there’s a lot of cash at stake.
In this respect, they provide access to professional advice and training plus, in the case of a studio, the best equipment.
They can do all of this by investing their profits into providing high-tech studios, employing permanent staff and sharing their experience to help you learn how to broadcast successfully.
Their experience, training and advice is key to the service that cam studios and agencies provide and makes them a great option for anyone who is:
- new to the industry and wants to learn the ropes.
- cam models who are struggling to break through, and
- even experienced broadcasters who want to reach the next level.
A big part of this coaching is to help models utilize their own reach through social media and to actively promote them using their own marketing channels.
Not only that but their expertise is invaluable for informing live cam models about how to convert audiences: most cam sites now offer free services so knowing how to get viewers to pay for what they are watching is essential.
(The use of tip controlled vibrators is a big help here!)
Studios themselves also offer models the benefit of being able to separate their personal and professional lives by providing a working space from which to broadcast your channel.
It’s not every model who wants to convert their spare bedroom into a porn den, particularly if you share your home.
Speaking of which, agencies and studios can also offer their models safety and security when it comes to protecting their stars.
The best will ensure that you are broadcasting within the guidelines of the cam sites you are signed up with. Most, but not all, will also employ active watermarking to their models’ broadcasts to copyright protect their content.
Camming can also be a pretty lonely business for independent models.
Despite their interactions with the public, there is no substitute for having colleagues and work friends that you can share your experiences with. Unless you are already performing as a couple/duo.
Hey, this is a job like any other and independent cam girls are deprived of those ‘water-cooler’ moments when they can chat with people who can appreciate the ‘peculiarity’ of their latest private cam session!
Many studios and agencies provide their top models with opportunities to attend events like awards ceremonies, galas, expos and some even offer team building events or put up holidays as rewards for performance.
Of course, working in a studio means that you get to meet up with other cam models as well as the tech crew and admin teams.
When it comes to diversity, there is a huge selection of camming sites to broadcast to, each offering different payment methods and appealing to different niches.
These studios and agencies can help models maximize their earning potential by ensuring they are promoted on only the best live cam sites.
And lastly, most of the top agencies and studios offer their models job security by providing a minimum weekly wage with some even providing healthcare and pension benefits.
Whilst you should be able to exceed the salary by following their professional coaching, this does give cam models some degree of financial security.
So, whilst studios and agencies do charge for their services, the benefits of being able to maximize your earning potential coupled with all of the above makes them a very enticing option for many cam models.
The Best Webcam Studios and Agencies
“What is the best webcam studio near me?”
Okay, so there are hundreds and thousands of cam sites which you can sign up for and start broadcasting instantly on.
Whilst these are perfect for amateurs who want to broadcast from home, which agencies and cam girl studios are worth checking out if you want to go to the next level?
The following studios are the best companies that have studios internationally; from California to Latin America and Europe, they are all recognized in the industry as providing a professional service.
International Webcam Studios
Studio 20
Studio 20 operates mainly from within Romania with 10 studio locations in the capital, Bucharest and a further four regional venues around the country. In addition, they also have international cam girl studios based in:
- Los Angeles, California
- Bogota, Colombia
- Cali, Colombia
- Budapest, Hungary
The company has won plenty of industry awards recognizing its services including the coveted titles of ‘Best Cam Studio of the Year’ at the AW Awards 2016 and ‘Best Live Cam Studio of the Year’ 2017. In 2017, they were also the first cam studio to gain Gold Certification with the popular cam site, Jasmin Live. The result of this means preferential status for their models over other Jasmin cammers.
Studio 20’s models are among the top earners online and many of their performers are bringing in an income of up to $25,000 per month.
They are known for being a collaborative and supportive team of highly professional coaches with a great technical crew.
As one of the largest cam studio companies in the world, their commissions are pretty high and models start out by earning 50% of their gross sales. However, this can increase with bonuses up to 65% depending on performance.
With a monthly budget of $100k for marketing, the team at Studio 20 have a proven track record at driving traffic to their model’s broadcasts. Latest figures suggest that the team is responsible for sending 300k visitors daily to their in-house channels. So, even with high commission paid to the agency, models still earn a lot more than they would on their own.
Unlike many agencies, Studio 20 also offers support services for live cam models who want to work from home. They also work with male camming models as well as female.
M Group
An international agency the M Groups has a presence in Europe (Romania & Hungary) as well as Colombia and Los Angeles California. They don’t offer studio spaces to broadcast from but they do provide support services including training, photography and filming plus professional advice.

With bonuses, this could decrease to around a 20% commission payable to the studio. However, the company claim that their models earn between $2,000 and $20,000 per month with an average income of $5,000.
The work schedule with Rich Girls is quite flexible but, in order to be earning the kinds of money they report, you will be expected to put in at least 40 hours per week.
Accommodation can also be provided for those models who are not based in Bucharest and this is offered in luxury suites close to the studio; additional charges apply.

Signing Up With a Cam Girl Agency
So, you think you’ve got what it takes to become a live cam star and want to work with the professionals?
The process for signing up with a cam studio or agency direct differs for each company but most will expect you to attend an initial interview to get some idea about where you’re at and what kind of person you are.
Most do not expect you to ‘perform’ at this first meeting as it as much an opportunity for you to find out about them as it is for them to see you in person.
You should expect to be given a full tour of their facilities and be able to meet other camming models. This is important and you should never sign up with any live cam studio or agency unless you’ve had the chance to do this.
Obviously, some of the broadcasts will be private and you may not be able to watch in but you should at least be able to see the set-up and view the public online streams.
The studio or agency should be able to offer you some further information about their training programme and you should ask whether the initial and ongoing coaching is free or if you have to pay for it.
Also, find out what set up costs (if any) you will be expected to cover. Some agencies provide interactive toys and basic wardrobes but, for reasons of hygiene, there may be a cost for these.
Get some details about commission structure and how much the agency/studio will be taking of your revenue. This should be included within your contract which you should take away and read carefully before committing to.
Ask about the schedules that you will be expected to work as most will require a minimum time commitment from you.
The next stage is getting an offer to work with the studio. For obvious reasons, they don’t work with everyone they meet but if you are a good match for the team, have shown yourself to be dedicated and have the right talents then you can expect them to offer you some broadcasting time.
Remember that, when you are first starting out with an agency, you may not have the same flexibility of scheduled broadcast time that other established models may enjoy.
It’s a job like any other and you will have to work from the bottom up to achieve a good position in the organisation.
Yes, you may well be freelancing but the agency/studio will be doing plenty on your behalf to market you, get you trained up and provide you with the professional space and equipment to offer the highest quality camming experience.
With training and commitment, you can expect to start seeing the rewards from your efforts after a couple of months but, if you feel that your agency/studio is not doing enough to help you maximize your earning potential then speak to someone.
After all, they only make money if you do so it’s in everyone’s best interests to get it right. Not only that but keeping the talent happy is a prime motivation for good agencies….losing their stars costs them money.
As for whether you’d be better off going it alone and giving the agency/studio route a miss, only you can be the judge of that.
Just remember that whilst being an independent, cam-from-home broadcaster may give you flexibility, there are lots of models offering a similar service.
In fact, at any given time, you could be competing with tens of thousands of live cam models on the same platform so any edge you can give yourself is bound to result in higher earning potential.
Good luck!
