Equipment Needed
In order to get paid working from home you will need to invest a bit in hardware. I assume you already have a computer which is great, but most of the time the webcam that comes equipped isn’t high definition. Besides a new webcam, you shouldn’t need to purchase anything else.

Besides getting online and performing in front of your webcam, there are other ways to increase and diversify your income. We have a number of articles and how to guides on how you can increase your income, some of which you don’t even have to do anything more than creating the content one time!
Once you become experienced and develop a strong following, you will be able to offer more services for more money. Some sites will allow you to list your additional services right on them, others you may have to link from somewhere else. The easiest way to do that is to create a unique, private Twitter account for fans to follow and link your extra services there.
You can create picture sets and put them up for sale to provide a nice additional income. You should try to take these pictures with a high-quality camera if you don’t have an HD webcam.
Videos being put up for sale provide members with an extra income. Some sites allow you to use their services to sell your videos, as it makes them money as well. Videos usually provide extra content not usually being shown in the regular shows. You should always charge more for custom made videos as the demographic for the video may be a lot smaller than a general video. Always assume that your videos will be shared, so if you don’t show your face during a cam, don’t show your face when making a video, custom or not.
If you’re independent, giving web shows one on one via Skype is a good way to make a lot of money. You need to be careful when doing Skype shows, as the person on the other end could scam you. You should not accept payment through PayPal, as it could be disputed and you won’t get paid. The best bet for Skype shows is to get paid with gift cards that can be redeemed immediately, or Paxum.
You can also offer phone calls and texting. You should NEVER give out your real number, so you should sign up for a service like Google Voice that provides you with a free number. There are plenty of other free text and call services you can use, most only needing a data connection or Wi-Fi.
Sell some of your personal items. Sell your underwear. It might sound funny now, but people actually pay for that kind of things. Pervs love panties. Some want them worn, others clean. Just give the buyer what they ask for, it sure as hell be a lot more than what you spent on the underwear. Sell your old toys. Probably a whole lot worse than the previous, but once again someone somewhere will buy it. If you get a haircut, you can probably get away with selling a lock of your hair.
