The answer to this is YES and NO
Why yes?
There was a time when webcam models would make a lot of money without too much of a hassle. There were few webcam sites and the models weren’t as many thus everyone would make good money. However, there are now thousands of webcam sites and millions of webcam performers from all over the world an aspect which has resulted in market saturation. Webcam services in most sites are now very cheap which means that models have to do multiple shows in order to make good money, which can be quite a hassle. Furthermore, it`s becoming more difficult to impress customers because they`ve seen it all. There are even models who will bare it all for the fans for free in the public chat room which has hugely contributed to loss of the wow factor. Additionally, very few models are making 6 figures annually apart from those who are extremely popular.
It is safe to say the industry is still growing and the annual profit margins continue to increase each year. Hence in general, the industry is getting bigger but as for individual models things are not as easy as they used to.
Why No?
New innovations in the camming industry have made it easy for models to interact with clients and have also provided performers with new channels to make money. For instance, the SnapChat App has made it easier for models to send short videos and nudes to their fans and receive instant payment through SnapCash. Another great innovation is Connectpal which allows fans to subscribe to a model`s page and at a fixed monthly rate they get full access to exclusive sex videos and photos. These are a few good examples of innovations that have contributed to the growth of the webcam industry.
New companies with friendlier policies are also emerging and every time this happens there is a mass exodus of models from their previous camming sites to the new one. For instance, when Camsoda first came into the scene it took the industry by storm and even celebrity performers were not shy of endorsing it. This has therefore ensured that the industry is on a growing trend.
The webcam industry will continue growing and so far there are no signs that it`s on a decline. New innovations and new players in the market will ensure that the industry continues to grow and create space for new models.
