How does Miricam make money for me? Let’s walk through the process.
A: Here’s a quick breakdown of how your Miricam-powered website generates revenue.
Once a customer is ready for a private chat with one of your webcam models, they’ll deposit funds into their "wallet" on your site. Here's how it works:
- The customer clicks "Add Funds," which takes them to the payment page.
- They choose how much to add, for example, $100, and complete the payment via credit card.
- Once funded, the customer can spend the money on private chats and tips with any of your models.
The customer's credit card is charged, and the funds are transferred to you through your payment processor or bank. Depending on the processor, payouts can occur daily or weekly. Miricam’s accounting system automatically tracks commissions owed to your webcam models, providing clear, detailed reports. You then pay your webcam models based on the commission rates and payout schedule you set. For example, if you generate $10,000 in sales for the week and pay a 40% commission, you’ll retain $6,000 after webcam model payouts.
How does the above work with Mbase?
A: It is almost exactly the same. When you have the Mbase Syndication System enabled, your customers still fund their accounts, and you are still paid directly. The only difference is that the hosting website that may be displaying models on your website would receive a commission on any private chat time or tips that your customers spend with those models. If you are the hosting website and add your models to Mbase, you can adjust how much of a commission you would like to receive.
Every transaction including commissions paid is detailed in the Miricam accounting system in real time, and always available for your review.
How does "Private Messages on Tips" work?
A: During any free chat, your customers have the opportunity to send a private message to the model, any time they offer a tip. This adds tremendous value to each tip for the client, and gives your models a new opportunity to make additional sales.
What is the "Bill Payment for webcam models (Beta)" add-on and how does it work?
A: Your Miricam website allows users to "pay bills" for webcam models, providing a more satisfying experience than traditional tipping. Your webcam models can list their bills, such as rent or credit card payments, on their profile, and users can choose to help by paying these bills through a simple button. Although the payment appears as a bill settlement to the user, it is processed as a tip in our accounting system. This feature gives users a greater sense of contribution while maintaining the simplicity of the tipping process. All payments are reflected in the webcam model's total earnings as tips, and bills are marked as "paid" once the payment is completed. Please note that this product is currently in Beta.
