Brand new couple, we've researched a ton, but still would be SO grateful for any advice

[Jaylicks510]

Thanks for clicking, I know this has been asked before in similar ways, but we appreciate you reading ours all the same.

- Black 40 bi female & white 44 str8 male (we look young for our ages, we should use "stage ages" right?)
- Very solid relationship, lived together for 2+ years, the sex is great and we think it would be pretty fun to watch
- She has an Internetmodelling.com acct and he just signed up, we're planning to use their network as well as CB and SC, maybe more, but probably just one for the first few toe dips.
- the consensus seems to be that we should be driving viewers to our OF, so that's the plan
- she studied film and he studied audio engineering, we're pretty confident in our tech chops
- DJI pocket 3 is our main cam, pixel 8 is cam 2, and we plan to run OBS to switch for our stream while both record 4K internally

Any tips on menu pricing, aside from matching what others are offering?

We plan to offer plenty of kink, light-medium BDSM (we ain't no 50 shades of grey couple but we don't draw blood either), and we're starting out with handheld remote toys for tip-triggered buzzes that we'll give each other (clit sucker, gspot vibe, prostate massager, etc.) then eventually lovense type direct connections.

How much time do you spend working up to menu items or even spicy stuff, nudity, getting handsy, etc.?

Any answers or advice are greatly, greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Well yall seem to have the right idea, start with similar pricing to other model couples and go from there. The rest of it is going to be fucking around and finding out really. Your idea of what you want out of your show is not going to be the same as others and we all have our own niche kind of. Your entering another world, so be prepared to let go of certain ideas and be ready to adjust as you learn. This site rocks and has lots of great info in it, and a lot of it probably won't click with you until you have more experience so don't stop reading and using it lol.

Being tech savy is defiantly a required skill I think here, and most of us here are kinda nerdy (HELLZ YEAH LOL). You two are probably going to have some fun marrying all those random techy skills together to make your product. I know I do! My advice though on that is to not go too overboard with tech at first. I always seem to do the opposite of that, and end up simplifying to make things go smoother lol I was using 3 cams to switch between. Now I just have my desk cam and a "floorcam". A simple cam on a simple tripod and adjusting it with my hand has proven to be smoother/quicker/easier than controlling something with tilt/pan and all that jazz for moving to different furniture or the floor. I've also downgraded overtime from 4k to 1080p for more reliability and less headaches.

Have fun and welcome!

Patience is the absolute most important part. I can't tell you how many times that I was about to log off and then someone comes into my room and tips a ton. Sometimes you might log off and have earned nothing, don't be discouraged. It can be a slow burn sometimes, other times you might earn way more than you thought you could. Time of day, holidays, day of the week, time zones ALL play HUGE factors. Also, you can promote your room if in Chaturbate. It will show in the top 10 for 5 minutes. It has an algorithm based cost similar to something like a stock market, I usually wait until it is cheapest $2.50-$3.

I tried doing couples cam with my wife and she is not patient, she felt like she was being ripped off and felt like the tips should have been happening quicker so she quit. Little does she realize that had she stuck with it and been a little more patient we would probably be living in a mansion right now (she is INCREDIBLY skilled and I have a PQC).

I agree with @ts_cammer98 above about the extra tech. I recently updated my PC to a 32gb ram i7 processor, as well as my internet. I figured I would see if I could run 4k, I did and it looked great. The next day, it couldn't broadcast in 4k (assuming site traffic was the issue, all good on my end) so I dialed it back to 1080p. This made me do some research and the conclusion is that these types of sites are just not quite 4k ready, StrpChat does not even offer you the option of 4k. It will take over soon though ,so keep your gear ready. Also, I highly suggest the lovense webcam.

On the topic of lovense, embrace it ASAP. Their toys are not cheap and the set up can be confusing at first but I usually make the money back in 1 show. Viewers love being able to make your toys vibe etc! It really is almost the backbone of successful vs. unsuccessful (patience as well!) As a solo male performer (especially way back when) I would only make around $5-$25 per show until Lovense came out. With Lovense I make between $30-$300 per show.

Regarding pushing viewers to OF:

On SC you're not allowed to do that at all.

On CB you are allowed to put it in your profile but advertising it is a bit trickier. You can say "yes I have an OF. Info in bio." But you can't say "check out my live OF" or "tip me there instead of here."

Regarding 4K on CB -- you have to have 100,000 followers before you are allowed that kind of bandwidth.

Ahhh nice. Well should only take me about 90 more years then!

When asked, I like to keep it generic too and stay away from saying "my x is" "my onlyfans is"... I just say "check my bio".

Since no one has mention it Internetmodelling has a very very bad reputation.

Here's a bunch of posts about them

Also as another heavy tech user, I have also found that simple is best when it comes to streaming. As much as I love the wireless use of using my phones camera as a webcam, it creates a lot of headaches that just arnt there with a standard cabled cam, wireless mics are great.... until they arnt and then they become a pain in the ass to try and troubleshoot while you're also trying to do a show. So many of my shows over the years have ended up being a trouble shooting stream when things have just randomly stopped working mid stream
