The world of webcams is diverse, featuring all kinds of niches imaginable: romantic shows, fetishes, solo, pair, girls, boys, trannies, and so much more. With such a variability before you, it’s easy to get lost, especially if you are just starting. With this in mind, we’ve decided to create an article on the best webcam niches for beginners.
After reading this article, you will learn about the most newbie-friendly niches in our line of work, including why they are profitable, how to approach them, user behavior, user preferences, and how to choose an adult niche.
Popular niches of cams
Cams are many; in fact, LiveJasmin groups them by category, trending tags, show types, fetishes, model appearance, and more. Girl categories alone include 10+ options, but there’s gay webcam traffic as well! So what are the top converting adult niches?
MILF, a.k.a. Mother, I’d Like to… Friend. Experienced women radiate confidence, understand their needs, and, most importantly, can communicate them openly, reducing the guesswork. Let’s also not forget that a number of people had a crush on their teacher or friend’s mom, which can manifest itself later on when men of 20 may want to pursue a 40-year-old model. Whatever the case may be, MILF webcam affiliates tend to generate lots of commissions, even without a lot of experience.
Gay and lesbian. Same-sex live shows might be a way for some people to try a new experience remotely. Or such performers might understand the user like no one else, since they can… feel each other. Anyway, if you want LiveJasmin niche tips, MILF, gay, and lesbian are the top 3.
Amateur is the next popular category. While MILFs might be more experienced and self-assured, amateur performers might deliver a more intimate experience, mixed with shyness and sincere emotions. Not all webcam affiliate niches involve penetrations and hardcore stuff; some performers are more into psychology and socializing. When it comes to LiveJasmin in particular, such performers tend to have a lower per-minute charge, so they might convert better when you launch campaigns with A.W. Empire.
Fetish, a.k.a. kink, is a solid pick if you know your audience segment. Sometimes, people feel unnaturally attracted to a particular behavior, part of the body, or specific dress. Probably the only reason why this category is not higher is that a specific fetish is very narrow-scoped, so you can’t get that many viewers in comparison to broader categories. Still, the fetish audience is very engaged and die-hard, as they know what they want, search for it, and contribute to a better conversion rate.
Reasons to watch cam shows
When discussing the best webcam niches for affiliates, you should know what motivates people to watch live shows.
Voyeurism and intimacy. All live shows are made on the spot, so viewers can influence the direction and vibe. That sense of control no pre-recorded clip can deliver.
Parasocial interaction. High-tech solutions enable social interactions with strangers without leaving home. When viewers interact with a cam model, they form personal connections, even without genuine reciprocity. This can be beneficial for people who don’t want to or can’t strike up a conversation with a random person on the street.
Entertainment and relaxation. Yes, live shows can be fun, especially if you’re curious about other people and what they have on their minds. Similar to a game of poker, watching anime, or walking in the park, some users find cam shows a fun way to spend their free time.
Custom experience. Private chats let users feel special, because they can afford a tête-à-tête conversation with a particular model. Direct interactions like that can be perceived as a privilege.
Promotional tips and hints
Now that you’re familiar with the beginner webcam affiliate niches, it’s time to provide you with some actionable tips and tricks. Follow these steps to make your entry easier.
Know your audience GEO. Tier 1 is the best pick for high performance. If you want to increase the chances of high returns, you need to go for T1. But there is a workaround here, because some GEOs, like the Bahamas and Monaco, deliver similar performance with milder competition. Still, always ask your affiliate manager for the best GEOs, because things change and they do so quickly in our line of work.
Use Whitelabels to narrow your selection of cams, which is suitable for niche targeting for affiliates. Customize your categories, colors, and copies; roll out promos whenever you want, and set any bonus campaign you prefer. Moreover, you don’t have to stick to one category only, as you can create multiple Whitelabels with A.W. Empire.
Mind your hours. Webcam content consumption spikes during evening hours, particularly between 8 PM and midnight. Remember, though, that the devil is in the details, so consult your affiliate manager (AM) to learn more about the country you’re targeting. Users also tend to favor Saturday and Sunday afternoons for watching a show or two.
Know your traffic. Roughly 85% of webcam viewers are male. Most subscribers are between 25 and 45 years old. Not all of them contribute to high performance, so you need to know the channels that can deliver converting users: your own website, paid campaigns, SEO, forums, tube sites, etc.
Use all the tools. A.W. Empire has many features to make your work easier. For instance, we now have User Activity, enabling affiliates to see the categories and models that bring the most conversions and top spending. Use it to your advantage when planning out your next move.
Stay in touch with your AM. Answering the question of which cam niche to promote is easier when you work in tandem with your AM. The manager has experience and can suggest optimal approaches, promo tools, and target pages to profitable adult cam niches to maximize their potential. Register on A.W. Empire now to try the best LiveJasmin has to offer. Remember to use all the tools our platform has to offer, besides Whitelabels.
