Camming advice from a geeky stoner camgirl.
People have been saying for ever and ever that the only two things in the universe that are unavoidable are death and taxes. Well, if you’ve been following some of the sex worker threads on Twitter and elsewhere on social media over the past several months, you’d think cam girls somehow figured a way around the taxes part.
I got more than a bit annoyed at all that ridiculously uninformed shit-talk regarding webcam modeling and how we who work in the field handle our taxes, so I decided to do a post on the subject. Prepare yourself for a tax-paying cam girl to unleash some verbal whoopass on internet know-nothings.
Okay, so, self employment. Yes, the vast majority of active webcam models are “self-employed,” according to the government’s definition of the term. That means, basically, that we’re working for ourselves, not for some company. When we work, we only get paid if our efforts are rewarded by the market we serve — unlike employees, who can get paid regardless.
So, if I go on cam and sit there for two hours chatting with my room about Avengers, or whatever topic, but I don’t get tipped, that’s two hours of my productive life down the rat-hole of the internet. I don’t get a dime for that time invested, because I’m working for myself.
On the other hand, if I decide to logon for a quick 15-minute camming sesh before bed one night and a big spender lays down a 20,000-token megatip out of nowhere, I make a cool grand for little effort and don’t have to share it with anybody (well, except Uncle Sam, which I will get to shortly). That’s the double-edged sword of self-employment — it can be incredibly rewarding, but can also be like driving down a long dark tunnel because you have no guarantee whatsoever that your efforts, on any given day, will produce any money.
As self-employed workers, cam girls are responsible for reporting their own income to the IRS (speaking of US models here), but much of that income is also reported by the companies we do business with. The cam sites we work on (Chaturbate, MyFreeCams, LiveJasmin, etc) are required to report income cam models make on their platforms, but that could be only a portion of our total income, because models will often have multiple revenue sources.
So, for example, a webcam model might make 80% of her income on her primary cam site, then make the other 20% on her secondary cam site. Or, she might also make money from selling videos on clip platforms, or through direct sales. Another source of income might be panty sales, or sexting, or premium Snapchat, or you name it. Most professional cam girls who’ve spent more than a few weeks in the webcam modeling business offer all or most of these things, and more.
Not all of this income will be automatically reported to the IRS (but most will, as I explain below), so cam girls are required to add it all up at the end of the year and report it on their tax returns. This is what scores of webcam models have been doing for years and years, but now there seems to be a contingent of very low-information people out there on social media who seem to think that we’re not paying up. Let me attempt to explain what I think is behind this absurd notion, and why some nasty people are pushing it.
First, most people are not self-employed, they’re normal employees. That means that they usually have their tax liability automatically removed from their paychecks by their employers, then hope they get a refund the following year when they file a tax return and list deductions. That’s very different from the way it is for the self-employed, who have to report all of their various sources of income themselves, and submit estimated tax payments throughout the year. But since this isn’t the way most people do it, many of them are no doubt unaware.
So, when a cam model sells someone a pair of used panties or a custom video, and they pay her via Paypal, Google Pay, Venmo, or whichever e-wallet, these social media critics assume that’s income that she doesn’t report. I suppose many of them also think the tips cam girls make on cam sites also go unreported.
First of all, like I mentioned above, cam sites are required to report the income models make on their sites (as long as it’s over a certain dollar amount per year, but it’s like $600, I’m pretty sure, so it’s low). So, the IRS will know what a model made on a cam site through the 1099 reporting that’s required by law. For most webcam models , that’s usually at least 70% of total income. So anyone who thinks we skate on tips is so misinformed, it literally gives me cramps.
But then, also, any income we make on clip platforms (C4S, ManyVids, IwantClips, etc) or Snapchat subscription platforms ( FanPageTV ) gets automatically reported too. And, guess what? That pretty much makes up the rest of our total income. Yes, it’s true that sometimes we get paid for various things through e-wallets, but we have to report that too. We list it on our returns and pay taxes on it, just like we do on the 1099 income.
So, believe it or not, you lovely sex-work snipers, cam girls DO pay taxes, and those who are successful pay A LOT of taxes. Nobody is getting away with cheating the universe out of one of its unavoidable realities, I can assure you. Now, YOU might not understand how cam girls pay taxes, but that doesn’t mean we don’t. Maybe it’s time for you to read a fucking book, or take a class at the community college, and learn a little bit about self-employment, entrepreneurship, and tax law, because the ungodly ignorance you people are bilging out onto social media about webcam modeling is getting fairly annoying.
It’s clear that there’s a profound hatred and resentment of sex workers out there on social media, and this is just one of the many examples of how it expresses itself. Basing their arguments in complete ignorance, these rejects from the Dark Ages troll around and launch their nonsense at hard-working cam girls and other models who simply want to make a living bringing some modicum of sexual joy into the lives of people. My good Gawd, the horror!
That’s it, I’m done. Feel soooo much better. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go DO MY F#CK!$G TAXES. Ciao.
Webcamming is all about using your webcam to broadcast yourself on cam sites in exchange for tokens (or credits). You can make a very significant income in the webcam modeling industry if you know what you’re doing. Becoming a webcam model can be a bit confusing, so I’m going to share everything I’ve learned in my 5+ years as a camgirl on this blog! Bookmark & check back frequently for updates!

No matter what field of work somebody works, even in webcam model area of work we have to have the income taxes. Some people ignore this or simply are not aware of it and they end up bad. It happened before and and may happen again if you don’t know exactly how to deal with taxes as a webcam model.
Any income that you have you pay taxes for, the website that pays you will not do that for you and it will not be taken automatically from your earnings . No matter how much you make, if you work part time or full time, you are required to pay the taxes to avoid any future issues or even jail time. About how much you should pay it varies from one country to another and I can not give you the accurate info on that. You need to get an expert in your town to find out about the amount in more detail. All I can offer to you is the information about this subject that I gathered in the last two years working as a webcam model and paying the taxes accordingly.
The best answers that one can give you on this subject is the local expert that you need to get contact with to aid you with all the necessary files and forms that you need. Like me you will firstly want to know how much exactly to you have to pay. As I said, each country has its own income tax regulations so a local expert will tell you exactly. To do this the proper way and to release yourself from a lot of stress you want to put aside the tax money on every payment that you receive. You will not want to be in the position whereby the income tax season comes and finds you without the money you need. You will just create stress and decrease the quality of your performance, making things even worst than they already are.
It is important to know, maybe some are more familiar with it maybe others not. You will NEED TO gather all your receipts of the things you pay within the area of your work and which are related to your work. If you earn 100$ per week and you spend 50$ to earn those 100$ than you will end up paying taxes for the 50$ left after you spent 50$ on products. The issue is that some of the things may be deducted from your overall income and some may not. To be sure that you will have enough money when the tax season starts you may not even take into consideration the amount of the receipts. It will be safer in the case you are not eligible for deductions based on the receipts. And, you may have more money at the end when all of your receipts are being deducted from your annual income.
As a general advice not only in dealing with taxes as a webcam model, but for anybody, you may want to keep things organised. it will make things a lot less easier at the end for you and for your local expert. This may not be easy at first, but once you do it for a while you will get used with it. There are some things that you buy online and other things you buy from your local shops. Keep them in different places so you know exactly which and where. It will also help to not place them randomly and is better to place them by the date you have received them. It will make things so much easier at the end of the year. There are however, things that you can deduct from your income tax and things that you can’t. I always got deduction from the clothes, for the cosmetics, for the electronics, sex toys, and as well for the money spent in transporting these. Another thing that you may write off and it would be great if you live on a rent, is to get deducted for the room you are using to do your shows. If you pay 1000$ for your rent and the full house has 100 squares feet while the room you are working into has 50 squares feet, than it is possible you get a write off of the amount of money you pay for those 50 feet you use. You just simply calculate the money value by subtracting from the full amount of money you pay for the whole house the amount allocated for the room you work. If the room you work in is half of the house in square feet than you write off half of the rent you pay each month, but this happens rarely. The simplest way is to tell to your local accountant about this.
Another more extreme deduction in the how to deal with taxes topic are the bills that you actually pay for running your PC and for accomplishing your work. In this category we may include the actual energy bill or even the heating system bill. In most cases you will not get anything out of these, but it is worth trying since you are spending money on these for your work as a webcam model. When you are taking your clothes off you will surely need to heat and therefore it is strongly related to your job. If you think about the internet service, this may not be seen as an actual deduction factor, it is something that pretty much every one of us has these days. But as a general rule you are actually using a more expensive service than you would had used if you were not working as a cam girl. So, as I said earlier, things will be more clarified once you have a long talk about these things with your local expert after you get one.
I am going to end this boring and long post by summarizing again the basic stuff you need to do after you read and before you make the decision of getting along with the taxes. Get advice of a local expert. Don’t be greedy and foolish. Save money for the taxes before the tax season comes. And stay as organized as you can. To take things further with the organization of your receipts you may want to keep track of them in a notebook as well. Write down all the money that you receive and spend to make things easier and safer in case someone audits you. You can make a nice table with different categories where you note down the price the date and the name of the product. Money received from clients goes in a column, money spent on outfits on another column, etc.
