Welcome to the discussion on utilizing Xtube for selling content or camming. This topic serves as a platform for sharing experiences, concerns, and advice among webcam models contemplating or currently using Xtube. Below is a condensed overview of the insights and inquiries shared:
- Concerns have been raised about the revenue share model of Xtube, particularly the deduction of a 15% credit card processing fee before calculating the model's 50% commission, effectively reducing the actual earnings to 42.5%.
- Queries regarding the proportion of gay versus straight content traffic on Xtube have been discussed, with the platform reportedly having 80% of its traffic oriented towards gay content. This statistic has led to skepticism given the initial appearance of the site catering to a straight audience.
- The response from Xtube highlighted that while the cam feature is gaining popularity, it still doesn't match the traffic levels of video content. Furthermore, it was mentioned that active community engagement could lead to substantial earnings despite the lower commission percentage.
- Concerns about the lack of transparency regarding payout fees through Payoneer (now FirstChoice Pay) and how chargebacks are handled were also voiced.
- A suggestion was made about the strategy of repurposing content across multiple platforms to maximize earnings without constantly generating new material. However, the importance of matching content with the appropriate audience demographic of each platform was emphasized over a broad distribution approach.
