The sad thing is at some point as you research which webcam company to work for, you'll definitely find some shady companies out there that make you rethink this whole webcamming thing. The good news is that you don't have to fall victim to these shady companies because for every shady company you run into, there are two legit webcam companies doing things the right way out there and you just have to wade through all the shady ones to get to the non-scammy ones. How do you do that?

1.Trust your gut. The old adage of "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" applies here. If you come across a company making claims that seem so far-fetched, run into the opposite direction. For example if a company offers you 99% rev-share, don't believe it, ditch them and don't look back. If on the other hand a company is offering you up to 80% like PayMeCam.com does, then that is reasonable enough and you should proceed with that company.

2. Free to join. A legitimate webcam company will never ask you to pay a fee as part of your registration. Anyone who asks you to do that is trying to scam you so don't fall for it, simply close your browser and head over to a site like PayMeCam.com which is completely free to join. The people who run it understand that you should never have to pay money to make money so they don't charge you a cent - all you have to do is sign up for an account, upload the necessary documents to prove your age and boom, you're in business!

3. Contact information on the website. I don't care how artsy a website is, if it has no way for you to contact the company right on the site without jumping through a thousand and one hoops, then forget about signing with that webcam company. Communication is key in any relationship and especially in a relationship where you expect to get paid, on time every single time. PayMeCam.com has an email address as well as a skype contact right on the home page so you know who to contact if you have any issues.

4. Speaking of getting paid - a webcam company that isn't a scam will have a very clear payment schedule as well as payout options available for you right on the sign up form. You'll get to choose whether you want to get paid via check, direct deposit or via one of the various online payment systems usually available - but you'll always know when and how you get paid.

It is possible to get into the webcam industry without being scammed and all you have to do is just remember the simple points outlined above.
