Be careful that you don’t let users take advantage of you. Users will try to con new models; either by promising tips that never come or getting you to make them your moderator. ❤️
Watch & Learn
The best advice is to explore the site that you're planning to broadcast on. Look for other models within the same age group and body type. Look at their menu and goals. Take note of the apps they are using. Get a feel for how they manage their room. Don’t duplicate everything they are doing, but take inspiration from what fits with your personality and tastes.
Sex & Nudity Attracts an Audience
If you don't want to be naked or have sex in public you can still be successful, but honestly it will be harder. If you're comfortable with it you may want to boost your room with lots of videos for sale of you having sex. Having some that are teasers and short (lower price point) and some more longer and more intense with higher price points.
Here is a Google Sheet that I created to help look at your menu, goals and prizes. Make sure that your menu and goals compliment each other.
⏴ What Are You Willing to Do?
As a new model the question becomes what are you willing to do online, both in public and in private. Start with a list of those things. Categorize them and list them from the most comfortable to the least. This will help you setup both your menu and your goals.
Menu & Goals
Rooms work best when menus and goals work together. Based on your menu prices, how many tips will it take to hit your goal? Users like to feel like they are making progress. If your goals are too high there is not as much motivation to keep tipping, but you don't want them too easy either.
The Numbers Game
It can seem discouraging when you have a large number of users in your room, but no tipping. Especially when these “vulture” users are constantly begging for free activities. As the saying goes you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince. You have to deal with a lot of assholes to find good tippers.
Having a large number of users in your room can help you attract those more rare tippers. Also when you're looking at the number of users in your room, ignore all the gray users. Having them there does help, but it’s far more important to focus on users that have bought tokens.
The simple fact is only a small percentage of the users in your room will actually tip.
(See color codes for Chaturbate and StripChat below.)
Chaturbate Colors
Chaturbate’s color coding system for users that let’s you know their token and tipping history. Please note that users that subscribe to Chaturbate’s Supporter level, can choose to display a lower color than they actually are. Typically they do this to lessen the amount of unsolicited messages they get from models.

NEW Ranking Boost
As a NEW model you will get an automatic boost in your ranking, temporarily increasing your position on the sites. It's important to take advantage of it. Plus having the NEW icon on your profile helps attract users.
Please note that the new icon will also attract unscrupulous users that will try to take advantage of you.
Chaturbate Algorithm
A lot of factors are considered in Chaturbate's Algorithm to determine your ranking on the site. A primary element is the Click-Through Rate (CTR). Basically, how many users click on your thumbnail and enter your room. This is different from the total number of users in your room (which is also a factor), this is just about how many users check you out even if they do not stay.
Other elements that are considered in the algorithm include your “thumbs up” ranking, number of users in your room with tokens, tipping activity in your room, number of followers you have, how often you broadcast and the quality of your profile.
StripChat StripScore
Your revenue on StripChat is a major impact on your StripScore, but do not stress out too much about your total amount. Having regular ongoing tips helps the score. Other factors include being active in the room and on the site; including having a tip menu and goals, your microphone turned on, responding to chat, having photo albums and videos, number of followers and your private show rating.
