How to choose your design – How to make your profile page work for you
You landed on the most important article from the blog section because we are going to discuss the “behind the scenes” when it comes to editing of your profile page.
There are no mistakes in profile page editing but there are some factors which can be improved and developed in the way that reflects your image, brand and of course to work for you.
So, let’s team-up and start from the top.
You may be interested in Why DO I Need a custom profile designed for my needs?
There are a few aspects that we need to cover in this article.
Let’s begin with basic needs. What are you looking for, what is the best way to engage premiums trough your profile and make them tip you.
As webcam performer you need:
- a beautiful, eye-catchy profile with cool graphics — design
- extended opportunities to earn from your online/offline camming activity — earnings
- user friendly and interactive layout – functionality
Our available templates are build and developed using the same structure we mentioned above (among other in depth aspects)
Above I’ve mentioned about brand and image. Let me explain these terms in simple words.
Webcamming in the essence is nothing more than selling your image in online environment. Doesn’t matter if it is video stream, recorded or simple digital images… all of them are about you and your activity so presenting your online image in a professional way it is very important.
Do you use makeup before going live online? Why? Is it to improve your image and impress your viewers? To look more beautiful or showing a certain mood, attitude …
Same thing applies for your profile page too. It represents you and believe it or not it has the same importance as your adult toys or sexy lingerie.
Why, how come? Can your sexy lingerie boost your cam score/popularity by receiving offline tips? Maybe yes, maybe no, but your profile page can do that for you (MyFreeCams reference). That’s one of the reasons for which our services are popular and appreciated because most of our templates are designed to help you increase your revenue and create yourself a passive income.
Behind the screen you can become or be a diva, a dominatrix, a princess, an Amazonian warrior, a friend or anything you want.
But if your online image defined by your profile page is not backing you up , you fail. It is pretty simple.
There are many stereotypes and as a webcam performer you can choose what roles you want to play online.
Avoid editing your profile page just for you.
Yes, you are funny, smart and sexy on webcam but does your profile page reflects those positive attributes?
Most common mistakes in editing a profile page are simple to avoid if you follow this suggestions:
Offer a friendly and easy-to-use environment. This means that your profile page must have a logical structure and wow effect.
Personally I don’t view or interact with model’s profile page if I’m not impressed in first 5 seconds. This is the average time for viewing a model’s page for any new visitor. First impression counts. If for some reason I don’t feel the wow effect, be sure I’ll never scroll down to see more.
Suggestion: use an image on the header section, a big, professional and high quality image with a greeting message will do just fine. Greeting your visitors is the best way to engage.
Your profile page must be balanced. It reflects you but is build for your audience.
Visual design – the wow effect
The visual design makes the difference between a professional webcam performer and a crappy one. Sorry for my blunt approach but it’s true. You might be the funniest or sexy camgirl/boy but only few users know this fact because your page doesn’t show it.
Suggestion: build your design for a larger audience and not just for yourself. Don’t limit the opportunity to earn more. Learn who is your audience and what they like – don’t be afraid to ask what they are interested in – use that knowledge to manipulate your audience offering new opportunities to tip for what they like.
What is the difference between a simple image with some text on it and a professionally designed section?
This is an example which shows you the benefit of using the wow effect applied to a custom section of your profile page.
Let’s assume that 2 models use 2 different designs.
One of them is using an edited image for Tip Menu section – a common section used by many webcam performers.
Second model is using a fully editable Tip Menu section with multiple requests and instant tip buttons.
What do you think? Which of those two will receive more tips?
A single image with tip link or 10-20 tip requests with instant tip buttons?
Ok, so where it the wow effect in this example? Fair question. As I’ve already mentioned, the first impression matters. Using a simple image, is limiting the tipper’s freedom of choice. An eye-catchy designed tip menu with multiple options and instant tip buttons is approaching the tipper in a more professional way and it also offers the possibility to choose.
Always use high quality graphics when editing your profile page and please avoid using poor quality photos made with mobile devices in the bathroom’s mirror. Invest in a photo shooting session with professional photographers. Invest in your image.
Suggestion: offer your tippers the possibility, the freedom to choose. If you are using a simple image with some text on it, make sure you edit the image in a professional way and make it both interesting and easy to read/view. Avoid using animated graphics with too much glitter effects and unreadable text.
Extend the earning opportunities by taking full advantage of your profile page.
Do not limit your range of interests. Doing so, you will also limit your potential tippers ability of finding something in common with you. Be versatile and flexible.
Suggestion: use multiple custom sections on your profile page allowing the premiums to tip.
User-friendly and interactive profile page.
It refers to how easy a user can see, read and interact with your profile page.
Suggestions: avoid using dark backgrounds behind dark color text. Do not use bold font in excess and red color. Not all of your premiums have visual problems. Just an example of what we see every day on some model’s pages.
Let’s sum up and outline the basics:
- avoid using poor quality images or crappy graphics for your profile page
- avoid limiting your opportunity to make more money by extending your range of interests (virtually at least) – you don’t have to like something to lie about it that you do. A compromise worth in tokens
- work with your premiums, find out more info about who regularly tipped you
- use greeting messages whenever it is required
- exaggerate a bit when you receive tips. Premiums will love to see your smiling face again by tipping again.
- Use offline tips as much as possible because received tips while offline is a great factor in boosting your camscore.
- Do not hesitate to contact a professional web designer to work with you on your profile page. Sometimes two brains are way better than one
- Do what you do best with a smile on your face and tokens will flow to you.
