Your Earnings
| Q: |
|
What do I get paid for? |
| |
A:
|
|
As a Webcam performer, you'll
get paid every time a customer enters your
full show. The more you interact with your
customers and the longer you get them to
stay, the more money you make! |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
| Q: |
|
How do I determine my
price per minute? |
| |
| A: |
|
The price you set is up
to you. The minimum amount you can charge
is $.99/minute and the maximum is
$4.99/minute. You should take several
factors into consideration when choosing
your price per minute. Typically new
performers will charge a lesser amout to
start, to increase their popularity and
customer base. If you are performing as a
couple or group you would typically charge
a greater amout. You can choose to alter
your price per minute at any point in
time. |

|
| Q: |
|
When will I get
my payment and what happens if it
does not arrive? |
| |
| A: |
|
Payments are
sent weekly. You get paid for your income earned the previous week. Checks are mailed out every Thursday.
Checks are sent
out every week, checks under $20
are held over to the next week. If
you selected wire as your payment
form - wires are sent every Friday
assuming your minimum has been
met. Wires have a $40 fee. Your
personal information will be kept
confidential, and will be used
solely for the purpose of
transferring your funds to you.
This could and should be the most
lucrative job you will ever have.
Your time and commitment will
really pay off.
If you do not
receive your check and believe it
is lost, you have two options. You
can either have the check reissued
the following week for a fee of
$25; or you can choose to wait 45
days from the time of mailing the
payment and the check will be
reissued without fees.
We are not
responsible for funds after they
have been submitted to Payoneer.
Payoneer is not required to follow
federally funded bank guidelines;
they do not provide confirmation
numbers and are not guaranteed
like bank wires. We will provide
whatever confirmation we have that
funds have been sent, but
Streamate is not responsible for
performer/studio access to those
funds in Payoneer. All disputes of
funds not received should be
directed at Payoneer customer
service.

|
| Q: |
|
Are my services
being taxed? |
| |
| A: |
|
As a erformer,
you are considered to be an
independent contractor, and all
taxes are your responsibility.
Streamate Limited is a NON-US
company, based in Cyprus - they do
NOT send 1099s each year to
performers. Please consult the tax
requirements in your area for any
special requirements. |

Getting Started
| Q: |
|
How do I set up
my computer? |
| |
| A: |
|
We recommend that
you are running Windows 98 or
higher with at least 64 megabites
of ram. A faster computer will
provide a cleaner stream. We
suggest upgrading to a gigabite
processor with 256 megabites of
ram, but it is not necessary to
run the Streamate Limited
software.
|
|
| Q: |
|
What kind of
internet connection do I need? |
| |
| A: |
|
You can run our
software on anything from a 56k
modem to a T3. We suggest using a
faster internet connection solely
for the purpose of increasing the
quality of your video stream.
Although, remember we are
providing the bandwidth, so you
can perform for as many customers
at one time as you want, even with
the slowest internet connection.
|
|
| Q: |
|
What kind of web
cam do I need? |
| |
| A: |
|
The best video
will be produced by a common
camcorder and a capture card
(preferably one that is internal).
However, a basic web camera will
work fine also.
|
|
| Q: |
|
How do I get
customers? |
| |
| A: |
|
We provide all of
the advertising and marketing for
you. Just make sure your photo and
description are set up the way you
want them, and customers will come
to you! Remember to fill out all
the details in your profile so
that you will show up in searches
