Again I say, it's not so much the girls that are here for spending money. It's the girls who "don't need to do this for a living" and hold that over the heads of other camgirls. It's less about the "why" and more about the attitude.

That is a lot of good and realisitc information! I personally love camming. It makes me happy. It's the only job that I have had and have loved, and want to do long term. It's so much fun! My success for me is living comfortably, and having enough for all of my needs and my wants as well. It's not about the money for me. I mean it is lol but I like entertaining others.

Well, you have another good valid reason for webcaming, the visitor visa thing...yes, you could be making clothes for living but earnings would be the same as webcaming??? also the risk will be worth?? If for example I moved to the states I don't have any valid permit there for work on regular jobs, so I will avoid it...to risky for me, and I will continue webcaming, I webcam on my country because regular jobs don't paid, the most that I found here that paids is $600 dollars per month...bratz girls tend to have plenty of guys on her room, now having plenty of guys doesn't mean the 'barbie' will be making money, (the girl left already with her 95 tks) what I didn't like and don't like about this 'barbies' is not that they use the money for silly things, is that they love to judge and said other webcam girls are sluts and cheap, but I'm no slut and I will earn big money cause I'm cute and non nude...this attitude is what I don't like from bratz. And no, as far as I know no girl for more pretty and cute she can be, is earning huge money without showing even breast in pvt...but wait..showing breast is for sluts (that's the way these cuties think).
I also hate girls that give all for free or extremely cheap thinking this way will attract more pvt's or tokens...SILLY!!! why paid when you have all for free. The extreme girl is still online, and I left her room since she was showing her uterus cervix on cam and her intestine from her ass...that's too much for me to see ..disgusting...I left.
I just thought of something..If there really are these gorgeous spoiled girls who like to keep their clothes on and try to make moneys$$ on an adult website, &she is saying she isn't a slut and blah blahing every other cam girl... Well, if anyone finds out that she does this for a living, most people are not going to take her word for it, and her reputation will be ruined as well. Because anyone who finds out is automatically going to assume that she's playing with herself on the site. AND she will have made far less moneys(most likely) keeping her clothes ON, so therefore she will have a tarnished reputation for barely any money, when she could have had the same reputation and been doing what everyone is gonna think she was doing, FOR WAYYYY LESS MONEY$$$:D LOL. Am I making any sense?

^^^ and those income numbers, of course, assume that you live in a country that doesn't levee taxes on that income. In the USA, somewhere around 20% of the $3,060 per month figure, and somewhere around 28% of the $9,180 per month figure, will eventually have to be paid out in taxes.In the USA at least, camming income provides an additional risk. If the US IRS and state tax agencies are informed by the webcam host ( filing 1099 automatic income reports ) that girl X had 12 months * $3,060 per month in camming income, this is enough income to disqualify her from being eligible for gov't provided rent subsidies, gov't provided 'free' health care, gov't provided utility bill subsidies, gov't provided food stamps etc. If the camgirl had failed to report her camming earnings, and had continued to collect these gov't benefits, once the gov't discovers this ( i.e. by receiving 1099 automatic income reports ) she may be subject to fraud charges, as well as repayment of the cash value of the benefits she fraudulently collected. And if she does report her camming income thus making herself ineligible for these gov't benefits, as is required by US law, the camgirl will then have to pay full shot out of her own pocket for rent, health care, utility bills, groceries etc. From that standpoint the US camgirl may actually wind up 'worse off' by earning $36,000 per year from camming versus not working and continuing to collect gov't benefits ... and particularly so if she has children who would also lose benefit eligibility if she earns 'too much' money.I have a question. What you are saying is true, no doubt. I made about 15 grand last year from camming alone. Now, I won't say what my partner brought in or what else I made but....we were not at the 100K mark for the year plus we have dependents and a lot of other expenses. I didn't pay quarterly taxes and I thought I would end up having to pay but I didn't. I claimed business expenses which wasn't much and some college expenses and ended up getting a huge refund without paying anything on state or federal. I don't know if there's a one size fits all to taxes. I would think if someone is pretty poor, not poverty but still not rich, that they would end up paying way less than the 28% in taxes when it's all said and done.

We've already answered this several times to you in General Chat. You may also search this in the forums. There is no way to tell how anyone will do on cam, we all do differently. Every girl does her room differently. Looks play a part but so does hustle and I've seen a lot of HOT chicks bomb because they don't know how to work their room and some average looking girls BANK because they know how to hustle and are fun- It's different for everyone. We all wonder how we'll do before we start but the only way to know is to just do it.
Edited to add: I also really learned from watching other camgirls that I admire-- research other cam girls, you will see girls of all shapes, sizes, and hustles handling their rooms and you can learn from them.

This sunday, Monday and Tuesday will be my second week of camming on a schedule and assuming things go as well as they have been, I will be taking the leap of putting my 2 weeks notice in at one of my two jobs. I started camming july 28th and I've consistently made 20+ an hour any time I have been online. I am assuming with a schedule, time, putting more into this, It will increase over time? Or at the very least be similiar.
I only work SM right now.
Thank you in advance.
SarahTime

I think "is it good" is completely relative to your individual situation. What are you financial needs? What are your goals?
$20-$30 an hour might be good for you, but $20-$30 an hour for me would put me on the streets and come no where near taking care of my family. It's all relative.
Are you happy with $20-$30 an hour? Does it meet your needs? Do you feel good about it?
Those are the things that matter, and no one can answer that but you. :)

I am making minimum wage at my vanilla jobs so, yes, it seems very good for me. I am just seeking possitivity and encouragement because I am a little scared. I am focusing on feeling great about my second week trying to stick to a schedule of 11am to 2pm sun,mon,tues and I think I made a few regulars last week and I am getting better at talking dirty and I am having fun. I am just nervous. Thanks for replying.

If you are used to min wage and you are now earning $20-30/hr then that is GREAT. I would say you should feel pretty good about making the job switch.
Also, it's been pretty slow going lately, so I would also say you definitely have the possibility to earn even more as time goes.
Good luck! :)

I don't think it's that risky to quit a minimum wage job for camming. Esp. if you have been doing well. However, you really really need a good nest egg if you are going to have camming as a main income. Because our job fluctuates so much, you need a financial cushion to ride out the slow times. Ideally 3 months of living expenses, but one month is a good start.
Missbeth
08-29-2013, 09:29 PM
I think so... I made $30/hr when I first started on streamate, now I make more.
The thing that helped me increase it was raising my prices and finding my price "sweet spot", upgrading my cam/computer/Internet and developing my own hustle for sm.
I know you are seeking positivity and I don't mean to be negative just realistic...
...but I would definitely NOT quit one of your jobs if you are just starting your second week of camming consistently. You don't know of you'll continue to make the same money or if you will even want to continue camming regardless of the money after the novelty wears off. IMO one week of camming isn't enough expirence or thinkiNg to make a big decision.
HaydenBlue
08-29-2013, 09:53 PM
I agree with MissBeth. Get some savings and give it a month or two before you quit. Lots of girls try to do this and don't realize how draining it can be. Especially full time. Try an 8 hour day of camming and see how you feel then lol.
Evil_Hippo
08-30-2013, 09:11 PM
Yes I think it's very possible for you. If you put more time in than you will get more regulars, and that will only help you :)

I wont be doing camming full time, I am keeping one of my vanilla jobs. And I am not even sure that it would make financial sense to keep working that job. on Wednesday and Thursday I spent 12 hours standing, chopping up over 200Lbs of vegetables, lifting 50+ lbs pots of boiling broth, scrubbed the walk in floor on my hands and knees, for less than 10 an hour, after taxes I will get under 120 for that week. I camed for under 6 hours over the three day period and I averaged 28$ an hour. I am pretty dead set on it now. I will be putting in my two weeks Wednesday, then ill be working for two weeks see really it will be nearly a month before I get to stop and it seems likely I am losing more money than I am making.
The saving fund is a good idea. maybe I can put whatever I make over my goal into it. I want to make 200 a week, at least. But I hope to begin making more like 300 a week in the future from camming. if by some miracle I am making much more than that, I don't know what I would do then.
but the vanilla job I am keeping I work the line on the pantry, I make salads, desserts and small plates mostly. Wednesday night for 6 hours, Friday and Saturday from noon to nine. It is at the nicest hotel in the city and they have an amazing spa and hotel that give me 50% discounts and I can use the spa sauna for free. Plus they pay me like 13 an hour after tips so its not fantastic money but it works. I also don't want to get out of my career path since I have a degree in culinary arts I don't want to get too far away from it.
If I have a lot more free time after I quit my second vanilla job maybe I can finally work on my small business plan for a street food operation.

TBH your plan is simple and nice. (I do five year planning)
I would say yes, ditch the one gig , if reading correct camming is ur 3rd gig?
yeah, quit the bs
camming will take time , energy , wear and tear on your soul depending how you handle things. Take the dive as long as you
have everything needed to cam semi full time
patience
Time
camming/sexual life/men comes natural
if you do all those, you will be fine.
you can do 120 daily, it can be done
20-30 bucks a day is OK but Im sure if you are new , you probably do not have a hustle or clientele built up. That will come with time.
Good luck

You get out of this job what you put in. If you take the time to research, learn, grow and build your brand as a model there is no limit to how successful you can be. Ive seen a few really knock out girls but they cant seem to get a 25$ gold show going so always try to be aware of how your personality is coming across. Not saying you cant be yourself but make sure that its coming across. If your bored and don't really wanna be on cam, that will shine through before ur personality and looks.

oh yeah. I will for sure be doing more stuff. I am approved on MFC but I need to learn a lot more about it, I keep reading the mfc thread and watching girls cams. Im going to try in on Monday or Tuesday after ive already done my sm stuff. I am also apply my MGF and I need to scan my second id for IMLIVE. I am so grateful I found this site. I would never be able to understand all of this without this site so thank you all so much.
I was looking for porn on youporn and ypmate poped up and a cam was running in the page and I heard it after I was done watching the porn. I watched for a coupkle minutes and this woman looked similar to me but older and thicker and she was asking for 300 gold for a 7 minute show and she was getting it. I scrolled down to the bottom and saw the "Become a Model" link and here we are.

during Imlive's trial period, you will make close to nothing. Since you have to be at a rate they choose. Just a heads up! So be prepared for that. I hated it, but it was worth getting through in the long run. Just like building up a client base is hard in the beginning but is a very good idea.

i had like 25 dollars in my account after my trial period was over but i got it fast that place is very bbw freindly and has more traffic then sm and i like how u can tell who has money in their account and who doesnt and the guest get kicked out by the system after a certain number of min but they can just come back in as a different number :/

I think its good. :) Personally for me camming is the best thing I have ever done. I am my own boss, I work when I want, I don't have to drive someplace everyday, I don't have to put up with working with someone I really dislike, and I do what I want when I want. The most important thing is I am home with my children. That means more to me then anything! I have a friends whos son is in football and she won't be able to watch any of his games...why because she has to report to someone for work and miss them. All these lovely ladies have pretty much covered anything I want to add to this. Camming always changes so just be prepared that one day you might make serious cash, and the next day won't be so good. Your new so I do believe your wages will increase. They did for me. When I started I made what your saying a hour. Now I average 75.00 to a 100.00 a hour. I work about two hours a day and I don't do it all week. I've never been one to push to make crazy amounts of money. I just want enough to buy groceries and pay for my childrens needs and wants. Good luck and make that money honey :)

When I started camming it was presented to me how I can make it was presented to me as how much do I need to make, based on my current expenses and what things cost I would like to buy in the future. I remember buying a pair of heels cost me about $200 or so and I kept going on well I worked 10 hours and made 210 that day so basically buying things that I wanted went on how many hours of private shows do I have to do to get what I want. it changed the whole mind set instead of thinking.
