CAMPBELL, Calif. – Live-cam platform Cams.com has introduced Tipping Mode, a new way for both performers and viewers get more value out of free chat.

“Our new Cams.com Tipping Mode allows models to get even more creative,” said Director of Product Marketing Scott Thompson. “Setting tip goals that turn a tease into more of a game-show atmosphere is already making fans feel more engaged with their favorite models.

“Of course, each model on Cams.com is always in total control, setting the goal amounts, the length of each show and how many Tipping Mode shows models want to do during their time online,” he continued. “The more unique and exciting the show is, the more money is made, because models choose the goals they set and there are no caps on how many tips fans can send while engaged in the Tipping Mode.”

Once Tipping Mode is selected in the broadcaster interface, performers decide the goal amount for the show. The game-show aspect enters the picture as fans “vote with their money” in an attempt to meet the model’s goal. The more the model pleases her audience, the more tips she receives. According to Thompson, the game becomes a contest pitting fan against fan and fans against the model in a race to the finish line.

Shorter, less revealing shows can be given lower goals to gain more fans, while longer, more intimate shows can be set at higher prices to maximize revenue. Or, models can choose goals anywhere in between.

“We trust our performers to play with the amounts and test goals to find the sweet spot that fits their audience the best,” Thompson said. “Plus, our new ‘curtain’ feature only allows fans who tip to view, once the model starts her show.

“Keep in mind, Cams.com is all about empowering our models to perform at their very best, and that’s why we have created Tipping Mode as an additional money-making tool, in addition to our other great features,” he added. “Models who prefer paid private chats can continue using it. Models who prefer Tipping Mode can choose it. And, performers can also go back and forth from one to the other while online with a just a few convenient clicks. It’s all about finding what fits individual styles.”
