Hey you guys! As a BBW myself I was wondering about makin a new thread just for beauty tips to fellow BBw Beauties - mostly how to look your best on cam?
I have tricks like I look like a hot bomb in freechat coz i fix the perfect profile perfect make up perfect light perfect hair to hide those parts of me I really hate and I dont want guys to see them on cam! Girls it is truly workin out because I literally started to feel myself prettier session by session. And finally I stopped care about the jiggly parts and care only about to show those horny blokes that yes, although there are tons of skinny beauties all over the internet but i can be as hot as them too.
And after weeks of experimenting i have finally found this video! And you gorgeous ladies were my first thought! You have to see this goergus girls vlog! She is and energybomb and an inspiration for us all!
I truly hope it will help you at least a little, coz for me it was a proof of that i did the right things!
Ladies! Have fun and be fun and become the beautiful butterflies that you all are! Muahhh I love u all!
XOXO

Hello! Just wanted to say hi, as I'm new here! I am on the small side of BBW and cam on SM. I usually call myself curvy.. I'm a size 12. I am in the process of losing weight by eating healthier (down 20lb already!) and am in that sort of limbo stage, where I'm too big to be "average". I guess this isn't as big of a problem on SM as it might be on an all bbw site?
Camming has done wonders for my self confidence in terms of my weight/body... I faked it until I made it in terms of self esteem on cam. I don't mind my "fat parts" as much anymore.

My 2 cents on BBW beauty: We're all cammodels. The emphasis is on model....
How many times has a gorgeous, thin girl got the boot because she was just too insecure to work what she had? Self-esteem and acting ability have a lot more to do with success in camming than being thin or naturally beautiful.
I agree and thank you! In my earlier posts I was rallying for those of us who have an allbbwcams account to push for our personal goals while online, on a site that seems to have nothing but bottom-feeders. My techniques have worked and I manage to get one private every hour or so there now. Thank goodness.
And thank goodness I have seen most of the girls raise their rates and showing less bootay in free chat, haha.
A combination of us working together in not accepting the constant heckling from the bottom-feeders, asking for more money in our shows, and the rebelling against society's view of what a woman should be, are all paying off! Just keep it up, all of us! We won't be rich in a day but maybe a year lol.

I just got some new makeup and black, white and grey, palette from Victorias secret, plus hot pink lip stain and nude gloss and some really great mascara on sale for the 4 for 20 deal. I have been using black white and grey to get the smokey eye effect, lipstain to hold the color in my lips and no foundation or concealer because my skin is fair and clear so I look like a made over BBW Betty Paige, sometimes I wear red lipstick, earrings to set my eyes off. Ya know. All of that as opposed to my previous look I carried of a lip gloss and mascara only kind of girl. After I dolled up and kept it consistent the private shows came more often and I regret not doing more makeup and little vanities all this time!
Also I sell more clips when I get dolled up like a porn star in them :D

Is anyone actively camming on JBC, because I'd love some input? What happened there? Or is it just me, this month, this year, this week, whatever?
I LOVED that site, I've never had timewasters there and now all I get is one timewaster after the other. I was sitting in subscribers only free chat for one and a half hour, the only guy that even came to my room wanted only to chat (in free chat)? I uploaded some videos and they are stuck on Moderation for almost a week now. I've written to support about some issue I was having and never got any reply and that's been almost a week ago too. Is that site dead, abandoned, what is happening there?:O
Edit: True, I've been actively camming on that site almost a year ago last time...So I get it, things may have changed since, but is it this bad?

It is that bad, I weigh over 300 and they still ask if I gain or not and not on that site. Allbbwcams has proven to slowly get me more loyal fans. I suggest you join the tightnit group there, from what I have read about jbc I decided never to go there back in late 2012. A lot of traffic coming from fat forums and no paying custies for a long time. I hope you can find another site to work on. It is sad just how low and few and far between bbw niche sites are, and its sad that us girls are forced to mingle in with topsite performers on the top sites when we clearly deserve to be categorized with no other. Very sad, wish I had the money to start a website for us, I would so be on that job.

Thanks for the input!
Unfortunately I do have $17 and although it's not much, I REALLY want to make payout once more, it's the principle, I worked for that money, however small amount it is...and I want to have it. I'll try and will report back how it goes!
So far I've put in something like 4 and a half hours for $4.5, so I'm making like $1 per hour there, yay!:D I can't decide if it's funny or sad. I used to log on there if I wanted to have some easy, longer shows.
I'll try the feedee angle with new photos tonight and let's see if it makes a difference.
What bothers me is the amount of timewasters. I mean, why bother buying chips if you're just using them to try and manipulate the girls in free chat (because they see your chips and they think you'll take them private) and you have no intention of spending them, ever? I only get guys like these lately there.

i notice that too on just with the guys on there but i think its a common tactic on all the cam sites on cb all u have to do is have one token in ur account and u can stay blue forever theres guys on mfc that will buy the 200 tokens for $20 then never buy again or theyll keep a few in the account and string u along. its rampant on just and even on all that kind of trickery is going down its more of a issue compared to other cam sites but less compared to just.

Bumpity bump bump, for all of the new models who are wondering about camming as a BBW model. I don't think we should bump it.
We have this thread because there is a difference between what a bigger woman needs to do on cam to make money. IE skinny girls don't get paid to eat on cam (usually), or to inflate or gain. We need a place to share those secrets where no irrelevant information will have to read. 10 pages so far, girls keep it up!

I'm bored, waiting for a longer clip to upload to C4S, and I was browsing this forum. I found this recent...something (camming related thread, not stripping):
your success is entirely up to you. The models who succeed and make money are generally physically attractive and have outgoing, flirtatious personalities. If you're overweight, unattractive, or have a dull personality, it's unlikely that you'll succeed at this.
and
if you're unattractive, overweight, or lack personality this is probably not for you.
I had to read it twice to see if I read it right...but I did! It's right there. (in Jobs)
Now, what if I'm both physically attractive AND overweight? /:O
And how do I even make money? I'm in the sex industry since...forever, all my adult life I've been here! And I don't have other income, just camming and content. What am I, an anomaly? Something that was never supposed to happen in the first place? Am I just imagining all my livelihood? Now I'm questioning my whole existence!! To be or not to be...??!!:-[:-\

Okay, okay, but dramatics aside...really now...I'm suuuper butthurt right now.

Oh, I'm not just unattractive, I'm stupid too. I forgot the reason I posted all this:
We have enough body image issues as it is. I'm sure many BBW models are desperately trying to lose weight, others just love their body the way it is and celebrate their attractiveness every single day. Please, don't believe it for a moment that you're not good enough to do something, just because of your weight. If men are paying just to see you naked, chances are you're gorgeous, right? It doesn't matter that you're trying to lose weight or you're in love with your body, you should not feel inadequate anywhere, at all!
I was 270 lbs when I started escorting. I've been an escort for years. I quit escorting to start camming and doing content. I'm starting to sound like a motivational speaker, but I just want you to know that you're not any less than anyone else! I'm posting all this because I was chatting with many BBW lurkers here who desperately want to succeed but simply lack the confidence. They have a preconception that they aren't worth as much as the other ladies. I hate to hear things like this. I think we have proven time and time again that the sex industry is more about the personality than anything else; that BBW IS attractive to many; that men want variety and many will buy shows with bigger models, because it's a different experience for them. I know many will say now that it's not true, overweight women has no place in this industry, or they have to settle with less. I'm not trying to start a debate at.all. I'm just trying to make girls who need it, feel better:)
(I posted it here because I'm not sure how many of you read the Jobs section and the conversation there was more about studios or something anyway)
Edit: ABigNerd, you posted while I was writing this! Totally agreed, my earnings are better and better too. I was being overly dramatic and sarcastic because I just had enough of not saying anything when I see something like this! (because what if everyone who lurks will sign up and suddenly be a successful BBW model and put us out of business; and I don't want to be confrontational anyway.....etc.)

@Claudia, I kind of forgot the point of my post too :) A few months ago I started to lose a bit of weight, and my profit actually suffered. My hourly had been growing at a steady rate till then. When I started to drop the lbs, my hourly stopped growing. Now that I'm putting that weight back on, my average is growing again. I get asked all the time why I don't lose weight to make more money. It may all be a coincidence, but I don't think so. It is not a coincidence they love us big. and Ps. I charge more because I'm BBW not the same or less than the average model.We are gourmet, might as well pay the price.

I have been kind of a lurker around here for some time, I may have posted a couple times, but by and large I'm just a creeper lol.
I'm not currently camming, but just wanted to tell this story.
A couple years ago I did attempt camming, and while I made okay money, it was barely enough to cover my monthly expenses so I went back to a vanilla job. I still don't know where I went wrong, I put in the hours, made content and was engaging with my room. Anyhow, that's not the point. Fast forward a couple years. Now I'm wanting to give it another go but I quickly discovered that my computer just isn't powerful enough to handle all of the HD encoders and things of that nature, so as a last resort I called a studio in the city I live in (don't shoot me lol) simply because they have the equipment powerful enough to run everything. After talking to the studio manager for close to 45 minutes I have decided I'm going to give it another go on my own. I'm 5'9" and wear a size 12, so not exactly a BBW (in my eyes anyhow) and not a skinny girl, and he basically told me that I wouldn't make any money at this weight and if I did I'd only be able to do it if I was doing shows with a partner. He also told me that optimally I should be a size 3 or 4. A lot of years ago I was a size 6 and at that size I looked like a walking bag of bones. He also said that I should be able to get down to a size 3 or 4 in three months? Wait, you want me to drop 8 to 9 pant sizes in that short period of time? Are you trippin'?! I go to the gym to keep in shape, but I guess I don't really actively try to lose weight. I'm happy with the size I am and I'm healthy. That's all I care about. So, did I hang up from that conversation just a tad butthurt and pissed off? You're goddamn right I did. I won't let a complete stranger tell me that my size is going to hinder me. I'm going to figure out a way to get the computer I need and give it another go on my own, successfully this time, and Mr. Studio Manager can just go ahead and kiss my big fat ass!

Shit, I'm 5'9 and a size 14/16 and I'm making fine money. I made 3x my rent last month, with much less effort than I could have put in. I think I worked about 30 hours for the month. Made way more than I would have for that time at a vanilla job. I talk about losing a little weight and my regulars freak. They love my body. There are plenty of men who will love your body too, especially if you already love it and feel confident (i don't, but i'm working at it). Try to make some money without HD and save up for a new laptop. You can do it without a studio and make more money with more freedom!

Sounds like the studio manager is more of a complete IDIOT than anything else - If he really studied the market,he'd realize how much BBW's are in demand and would've jumped at the chance to profit off of a living,walking fetish.Oh well,it's his loss and by far,YOUR gain - doors shut so others may open and bad things HAVE to happen in order to usher in the good,you can't have one without the other. While it may have been upsetting/infuriating to hear that twat ramble on about size 3 models,it was actually a blessing in disguise.Now you won't be tethered to a complete moron AND you get to keep all your money (who the hell wants to make money for a douche like that anyways?)
Keep in mind that just bc a site like SM, for instance,says that you need an i7 processor and a fantabulous cam in order to use the encoder,doesn't necessarily mean that its true.There are MANY ladies here who have i3's,i5's or their equivalents with older webcams that are still able to run the encoder smoothly,myself being one of them.All you can do is TRY and then tweak your settings,upgrade your upload speed etc (soo many threads that can help you troubleshoot) if it's not running optimally for you-you'll never know until you just take the plunge.There's still money to be made even without using the encoder and there are other sites as well that don't even use one or they use one that doesn't require as high of standards as SM does.
Best of luck to ya hun!

This studio mgr was an idiot thinking optimally size 3-4 is what makes money. ACTUALLY mr dumbass I weigh 300 lbs and make as much if not more than these skinny "media friendly" girls. (hand on hip shaking finger in face)
Shaylala, i use a dell e505 (6 years old) and it is pretty much crap, wont play facebook games even because it wont upgrade past a certain java or flash point; however it does run the basic required versions for camming thankfully! and it works with the encoder on Streamate and my free cams has a low requirement too so no problems there. You might just need your computer cleaned up? because i have 1.6 ghz and 1gb ram, though 2ghz "says" is the requirement, i am operating smoothly and cam even split cam. If your internet provider offers free security software i suggest getting it off their website and running pc tune up and disk optimization, as well as keeping large files on an external hard drive of some sort? Maybe you have done all of this and it is redundant but hope you can get it all worked out.

Thanks for your replies, ladies!
All of you are absolutely right. I knew that going the studio route wasn't the best idea but I was at a loss of what to do. My SM account was actually still active so I did log on there last night and try to run the encoder and it was lagging something fierce and the only thing I had running other than the encoder was my anti virus. Maybe I just need to play around with it a little bit to make it work. I have 3gb of RAM and my processor is 1.3gHz. I routinely clean up my computer, but I haven't done that in a week or so, so that might be a good place to start. So, Angel, our computer specs are almost the same. Your processor is a bit faster than mine, but I'm going to play with it today and see if I can get it running smoothly. I did just recently purchase an external drive, so if cleaning it up doesn't help I'll start moving larger files over to that. Thank you!
Thanks again ladies for the uplifting words. I have spent a lot of time reading around here and I'm excited to give this a try again!

Also are you using the encoder's new settings? They just recently came out with widescreen settings,I think there is high,medium and low widescreen options now (I haven't been able to cam enough this week to even try to switch to widescreen just yet so I'm not exactly well versed in them) It's been causing tons of lagging and placement issues with many ladies (although not all) and some have went back to using the old settings.There are several that have posted the old settings in the SM thread,so you may want to save them if you dont have them and then play around and try some of the widescreen settings as well as the old ones (and messing with other settings like frame rate etc) - sometimes it takes ALOT of adjusting and trial/error to get the encoder just right for your computer.

I don't know why is it so hard for some people to imagine that we can make money just like other girls... Their loss;D

I don't think we should bump it.
We have this thread because there is a difference between what a bigger woman needs to do on cam to make money. IE skinny girls don't get paid to eat on cam (usually), or to inflate or gain. We need a place to share those secrets where no irrelevant information will have to read. 10 pages so far, girls keep it up!
.... I've never been asked to eat or inflate or gain. I'm I BBW caming wrong?

I also haven't been asked to eat or inflate or gain. I think I did have one guy who was into inflating himself and wanted me to tell him how hot it would be to fuck him while we were both inflated... but he was a freeloader... so no. heh.

I've had a lot of guys into inflation/gaining/feederism. I got more when I was larger (I used to be an SSBBW, but lots a lot of weight so just a BBW now lol) but those are pretty popular BBW fetishes. There are actually A LOT of fat fetishes, more then just the average person would realize. Gaining, inflation, feederism- feeder/feedee relationships, stuffing, squashing, belly rubs/play/fucking, immobility..I could go on and on lol I got a lot more of those fetishes on sites like JBC though, not so much on sites like SM which caters to all types. Some times I really enjoyed playing those fetishes because a lot of it was just talking, sometimes eating...but the con of that is a lot of those guys want to see you gain. I would always play up the gaining thing 'Oh yes baby I wanna get so fat...' but never actually did. I had a guy a few years ago spend like 200 bucks and buy me a ton of food off my Amazon wishlist. Those fetishes are serious lol.
Just recently though I aquired a few regulars on SM who were into these things- feederism and belly play. Easy shows, just sat there and talked about my favorite foods (didn't actually eat, but know I will have to eventually. Gonna have to make it on a gym day lol) and the other just wanted me to play with my belly and fuck my belly button with my fingers.
BBW fetish guys make me happy because its something I'm pretty well versed in lol.

.... I've never been asked to eat or inflate or gain. I'm I BBW caming wrong?possibly? or maybe you just are a little "vanilla" I portray my "character" as very kinky so I do get a lot of strange requests that make me good money, and a lot of them are real easy to do (like eating).

07-03-2013, 11:47 PM
i got the feeder thing almost everything on Just BBW Cams but thats really the only place they like SSBBWs there and im a small BBW in between curvy and BBW so thats probably why and i didt do to well there either on JBC -_-.....

I don't get many Feeder/Stuffing/Gaining requests at all. I did occasionally when I was working on ABBWC but that's about it and it was usually if I was into gaining. I think I cater to more of the "I'm not into fat chicks but my dick is betraying me right now because I think you're hot." sort of guys if you know what I mean? and Big Tit fetish guys. Last night I talked to some coke head for 60 min at $2 per min as myself and he kept saying how much he loved fat pretty bitches over and over again haha. I think if I put clips out there I would get more of a following for the fetishy types but I wouldn't consider myself vanilla at all. I'm pretty open with fetishes but I get more stocking and heel fetishes more than I do BBW focused fetishes.

its not my internet its my computer my cam lags and freezes and the guys kept leaving i had to lower it to.99/1.99 to get anything but im hoping the upgraded ram will help my processor isnt the greatest either im trying to save up for a better one.

Yea my computer is a steaming hunk of poo and my cam isn't the greatest so I feel ya Snowy, but I think 99 cents is selling yourself waaay short. I had my rates at 499/599 and I hadn't cammed in a few months and wasn't doing so well so I brought them down for a 'Summer special' to attract some people, which it did and now that I'm reestablishing myself a bit more I'm slowly creeping them upward. Haven't had anyone say anything. When I update my computer and cam (hopefully by the end of Summer fingers crossed!) Ill raise them a bit more.

Snowy, this is coming from the heart. Below I've posted a few snippets from some of my earnings on SM. I've been telling you this and I'm going to say it again. Invest in yourself! You are not giving yourself enough credit here and you will not make a living as a cammodel if you don't change some things about your show. It's not how fast or slow the traffic is, it's really about confidence, and putting on a good show. I know you have the drive for it because I've seen you work extremely hard as a cammodel.
However, there are some things you absolutely need to change if you want to profit off of it. I understand your cam quality isn't the greatest but these things you can do until you have enough to purchase a better one. This is coming from someone who's viewed your cam several times and I'm gonna be 100% real with you. You CAN charge large per min rates for being a BBW. The proof is down below. How come I can get away with charging $5/99/7.99 and you can't? You're just as good as me and anyone else, right?
1. PIMP your surroundings. Sorry but a bed sheet and a couch isn't going to cut it, look like money, get money.
2. PIMP thy self. Doll yourself up. You can contour and make your face look like a million bucks.
3. Invest is some affordable but attractive clothing. You cannot afford to just show up in a bra and panties. It takes 2 seconds to get you naked why spend more? It can be some booty shorts and a tight tank, and a push up bra that that shows off your cleavage. It can be a sexy dress, whatever...just drop the bra and panty act if you want more money.
4. Please buy a quality wig. (I've linked you to lace front sites where you can pay $60 for a synthetic wig) Femininity is what you want to aim for. The ALT look is cute, but we want you more sexed up for cam, leave the ALT look to your daily life.
5. Engage with each customer, or, talk to yourself and make it seem like you're busy. Hell, if things are super slow, turn your break mode on to make it look like you have a PVT. Starring at the TV and watching your fav shows won't always work as the customer is thinking you're not interested in him. Stop looking so bored and sad. Fake it until you make it girlie.
5.5. Learn the act of seduction, flirting. Make them want to take you private.
6. Stop selling yourself so cheap. I know it's summer but you have bills to pay and deserve to be paid what you want. $0.99 is never the answer. You taking your clothes off for $0.34 ain't right!
7. Invest in a quality cam. Your cam sucks, but you know this and once you make enough I know you'll hook it up and you can charge even more.
Love you girlie, now do as I say so you can get paid up in heah!

Ok I'm kind of hopping into this thread but I was wondering what is a legitimate amount to expect to make camming 3-4 hours 5 days a week? $1000 in a month?
I want to go back to camming as my "straight" job is bullshit. I would have to make $1000 a month to make up for that job. Is that reasonable or pure insanity to even try?
kortneykay
07-16-2013, 12:06 PM
ThickBambi- sooo much goes into that equation. I would use the search bar and look up $1,000 a week/month and bbw make $1,000 a week there are a few forums to answer your question. I think $1k can be made in a week camming if you know how to hustle and market yourself. You have to take your look into consideration, your cam space, body shape, are you split camming, etc. You very well can make $1k in a week 3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I think most girls can make $250 a week in those times without really trying but you'd have to average those 20 hours to be making $50 an hour.

I have been kind of a lurker around here for some time, I may have posted a couple times, but by and large I'm just a creeper lol.
I'm not currently camming, but just wanted to tell this story.
A couple years ago I did attempt camming, and while I made okay money, it was barely enough to cover my monthly expenses so I went back to a vanilla job. I still don't know where I went wrong, I put in the hours, made content and was engaging with my room. Anyhow, that's not the point. Fast forward a couple years. Now I'm wanting to give it another go but I quickly discovered that my computer just isn't powerful enough to handle all of the HD encoders and things of that nature, so as a last resort I called a studio in the city I live in (don't shoot me lol) simply because they have the equipment powerful enough to run everything. After talking to the studio manager for close to 45 minutes I have decided I'm going to give it another go on my own. I'm 5'9" and wear a size 12, so not exactly a BBW (in my eyes anyhow) and not a skinny girl, and he basically told me that I wouldn't make any money at this weight and if I did I'd only be able to do it if I was doing shows with a partner. He also told me that optimally I should be a size 3 or 4. A lot of years ago I was a size 6 and at that size I looked like a walking bag of bones. He also said that I should be able to get down to a size 3 or 4 in three months? Wait, you want me to drop 8 to 9 pant sizes in that short period of time? Are you trippin'?! I go to the gym to keep in shape, but I guess I don't really actively try to lose weight. I'm happy with the size I am and I'm healthy. That's all I care about. So, did I hang up from that conversation just a tad butthurt and pissed off? You're goddamn right I did. I won't let a complete stranger tell me that my size is going to hinder me. I'm going to figure out a way to get the computer I need and give it another go on my own, successfully this time, and Mr. Studio Manager can just go ahead and kiss my big fat ass!
Something similar happened to me. My computer is fine, but my ISP is shitty. So I searched for a studio in my city and found just one with an actual location (the only way I could ever think of being with a studio). They gave me an appointment for an interview, but asked me to send pictures of myself "to recognize me and open the door". The girl I talked to was really kind and explained me a lot of things, that they started with a site then made you splitcam and so. But the very day of my interview, this girl calls me and tells me that they had no positions vailable anymore ¬¬ yeah, coincidence that it just happened after I sent my picture, but before I told her I was a BBW. That excuse is bullshit! Probably she had no inconvenience but her boss saw my picture and told her she was crazy or something. The girl apologized for the inconvenience and told me they would call later if new positions open yeah right... fuck them all
And I'm trying to work with my shitty connection, but it's almost impossible for me to splitcam even though the computer might do the job. I want to make it camming and prove I can do it heheh

THE ONLY LIMIT IS YOUR WILLINGNESS TO WORK AND LEARN
my earnings are usually a combination of gifts, and tokens on MFC or ELM credits. haha.34368
477 something paid out to me is descent for me for a bi weekly pay day (i remember when I managed a chicken joint 40 hour a week and left with 250 or less a week take home pay)-and I see my income increase every month I stick at it.
If you look at my earnings, it looks like i am online every day, which is not true. the day i made 315 tokens in private only-I just so happened to log into the model software-and a guy approached me for a private show ; the last one 75 is also from a moment i had an opportunity to log in and a regular was wanting newest video; and alas what you do not see is the day i logged in all day in free chat and had to go before 1 tip hit me, and then! i logged on at night...bored...and got a lovely tip for role play chatting.
I usually stick to my day shift schedule and never vary from it-I have a 5 hour schedule but i am usually on for 6-8 hours a day depending on how late i stayed up last night looking at SW. i stop camming' and make a video, and since i just got a portable HD cam I will be doing both at the same time to produce more content for ELM.
what you will not see in my earnings is all the gifts, and personal tips-you cannot see the hard work i put into setting up my cam'vironment(the items I have purchased to make my job easier)-and the pain i endure under my smile when my room is completely dead after i am naked. lol. we all have to work it to work it continuously. I worked mfc 5 days a week and make clips for ELM 2 days a week for those above earnings-about 27 hours of work which is about 18 an hour. not exactly where I want to be, but america is in a recession and IDC cuz my guys come back when they get paid and so will yours!
I used to be a SM girl. if I could have posted those earnings it would have been 100 a week if that, my prices were 4.00-5.99 I did not like the SM environment being really strict with taboo stuff (they put me in time out for a week lol) because as a bbw @ 5.99 they wanted their kink- i had a few regs' and was up to 150 a week and got camgirl' banned. I quit completely haha. i stayed on the forum and decided I had enough experience for MFC and I feel completely at home there even though it is a whole new environment-i found what i have been looking for.
You just need to find the right combination for you.

I was just wondering what size a person needs to be for BBW qualification? I can't get a pic uploaded, but I think I may be on the small side of BBW. I'm just not sure. I tried looking through models on SM, but everyone is taller than me so it's hard to tell. I found some people with similar measurements though. My measurements are around 34f bra, 32in waist and size 7/9 pants. I'm 130 pounds and 4ft 9in. I'm apple shaped and have a BMI of 27. I'm looking to get the most exposure I can and if I can get another tag I know it can help.
I do apologize if I'm offending anyone with listing the above measurements.

The only time I changed my rate was to go up, I was at 2.69/3.75 when I first started. Was online over 35 hrs that week to make $492. Did a few weeks at that rate working my ass off so I could buy a new laptop. Then went up to $3.99/4.99, obviously my rates are not expensive but they are not cheap either. I found that when my rate was 2.69/3.75 I worked 2x more for less. Now its not uncommon for me to clear $500 in 3 days, instead of having to work 7.

Yay for this thread! I'm so glad it exists. It popped up before I even needed to go searching for it. There's a lot of good advice here that's really giving me a fantastic idea for things to keep in mind for when I move past the research phase and into the action phase. I love everyone here for sharing their experiences and insights. Since I'd be in the BBW category, all of this info is especially relevant to me. Everyone here (BBW or not) is a great inspiration. Just wanted to thank you all for being such a help! ;D

I've notices that I almost never get BBW traffic, like in my entire cam career I had 2 guys that wanted belly play. Most of the men I get want boob and toy shows. My rates are lowish 3.69/3.99 on SM. I'm getting booked on more podcasts and when my new camera arrives I'll be doing my youtube to promote myself. I'm going to hike my rates up a bit.
Oh and has anyone had luck finding good plus size thigh highs? the ones from torrid don't last after the first wash. I have a store that sells lingerie but most of the styles are made for short women.

Blaysian, I know you're worth every penny, but you should lower your prices a bit so the guys can at least rate you? I lowered mine down to $2.50 (travesty!) but I made like $150 in less than 2 hours doing that.

I know I am super late to this thread (just joined the forum after lurking for a while) so some of my responses are old..but they made me lulz
if we all is making 75 hr fuck why are we should be having 5 houses by now.
75hr...5 houses? How many hrs do you intend on working?
I think BBW is all a personal preference.
I could not agree with you more!
I also wana say that I agree with Sam
Just to add my 2cents that has always slightly bothered me--but more recently has been a serious pet peeve of mine. Love your body (at least while on cam ladies). When all you do is talk about how much you hate/dislike your body. And say you want to loose weight etc blah blah---what you are really doing..is shamming those who DO love your body (your fans). I love a larger woman, and frankly iv'e walked away from a cam a number a times watching ladies talk in a graphic way about how much they hate there body--and it made me feel like shit for liking it.
There is nothing wrong with self improvement (and I am not saying to do anything you don't want to..such as feeding, gaining etc)--but try to love your body regardless of the size.
Also--Also MFC has not been brought up in a while. It is the site I have the most fun/enjoy the most!
