View Full Version : Have a Question Related to Camming? Unsure Where to Ask? Post ANY AND ALL Here!

I work in fetish. I switch but i do have lots of limits (i would say normal ones concerning my helath). But there are girls in my category that do lots more for less per min than me (things like poo play,vomit and other things that i personally don't do - i am a health freak & i think it's not worth the mess LOL). Anyway, this days i had some really bad days and I started to question if members do their choices based on that (after all some other girls do everything i do and more for less, right ?) . Do you really think it matters? Guys ask me if i prolapse and i try to explain them : prolapse is a condition already guys, your intestines went out and can't go back unless you do a surgery (lol i try to educate them). They are like: but other models do it. And i am like: seriosly? poor girls. Anyway, fuck, i worked so hard last period and had mostly very low traffic days that i started to question this (maybe i am too soft for fetish..maybe i am too dominant actually hahah - i always bitch when a master makes me do something that is basically almost impossible haha).
A few months ago when I was starting out, I thought I had to do anal every show because that's what other girls do. I did, and I'm a total germaphobe so logistically it didn't work well with camming. I got sick of that, stopped, and started making more money. I stopped giving away so much in free chat, and started making more money. I think maybe my confidence was a little low at first. Me being older, thicker, and not particularly kinky made me feel like I should make up for it by being as agreeable as possible. Turns out my key demographic are guys who think I'm nice and want a little intimacy with someone like that, and want me to build them up a little. They can sometimes be turned off by me being too hardcore since that isn't what they are after. Of course I get plenty of more hardcore requests, but that is not where the money is (for me) so I generally decline.
It very well may be that on the site you are on, the clientele are looking for something very specific and are potentially also looking for a bargain. Not all sites work that way. It wouldn't hurt to try a non-fetish site to see if you can earn more while also being a little more comfortable, if you can tap into the customers who will pay to see YOU regardless of what you are doing on cam. :)

Okay this has nothing to do with camming. I just dont know where else to ask. How do I stop SW from sending me emails everytime someone replys to a thread that I have posted in? I adjusted my setting to not allow email but still they come and fill up my inbox everyday. I hate it!

LMAO I know what you mean. So glad you asked because it reminded me that I need to do the same. You go right left right. Select setting up top on the right. THen select subscriptions on the left sidebar. Then back to the right side of your screen where it says subscriptions again. You can manually check the little white box after each thread title and then scroll down to the subscription threads drop down and select the action. I end up overlooking all sorts of important things in my email when I dont do this often enough.

I don't work on the darkweb ( or God knows this days with all this sites). I switch because i am open to lots of kinky fun things (evan tough i tend to bebmore dominant). I am not sure if the members are talking crap but yeah some girls in the fetish category market themselfs as doing toillet and vomit and crap like this. I am not sure if they actually do it or they fake it but i simply cannot do that sort of stuff ever. And i just had a moment of weakness thinking low of myself just because traffic is crap some days. I prefer to stay true to myself and healthy. And wish them the best if they like to do those things ugh.

Thank you sooo much! I just did it and its the same for me I missed even the itinerary of my dads travel plans to come visit me in Spain and a gift of Cash from a family member from Christmas! Should be much better now I only kept the threads I really want to know about (looking at you SM). ;)

Hi
So I found 2 videos of me on porn nod. The user that uploaded it is using my name. I know this might sound like a silly question but I wanted to ask you guys that have more experience. Do I just contact Porn Nod or will they not care? SM? Will SM care? this isn't SM putting it out there, this is from the free guest chat, not even sure why they uploaded them, one I'm stuffing myself with a peanut butter sandwich.:-\
Maybe this is common for I saw a bunch of short clips of girls just sitting there typing. Either way I'd like to try get it removed.>:(

Allright. Getting customers into Exclusive. As many other girls I only offer Fetish in Exlusive. But when guys come to my room asking for a fetish show, and I direct them to go Exclusive they dont want to. Example
member: Do you find small dicks funny?
Me: SPH in exclusive :-)
Member logs off
Or
Member: do you do cei/findom/do you wear stockings/can you give a footjob/other random fetish
Me: Yes, I like to do that (a response like this). I do it in Exclusive
Member bails
Member: I want you to scream my name in ..... (show description)
Me: I do name screaming in Exclsive baby, so we can get wild there!
logs off..
Am I doing something wrong or are they time wasters anyway?

Wait, I don't think you need to unsubscribe to all your threads manually. I could be wrong about this but maybe give it a try and see if it helps...
Go to "Settings" (top right), then "General Settings" (left sidebar). Then under "Default Thread Subscription Mode" choose "Through my control panel only." This is how my settings are. I still have a list of subscribed threads, but by default, they all have the notification box unchecked. If I want to get notifications on a particular thread, I go into settings and manually check the box.

Nope, you're not doing anything wrong. They are just cheap and would rather get fetishes at your lower rate. We all deal with this bs. Don't sweat it.

As a European model, how do you handle the Where are you from? question? I truly get sick of it. The country I live in is on my profile. But literally every five minutes someone asks me WHERE ARE YOU FROM? WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
I am getting tired of answering the same answer everytime. How do you handle it?

It doesn't solve your problem, but fwiw, I think that's the most frequently asked question for American ladies, too. A lot of custies are American, and they have hopes that we're nearby and want to hook up in person.
Personally, I'm pretty tolerant with the repetitive questions, but sometimes I'll half joke about whatever seems to be the question of the day (sometimes a wave of people ask about my bush, sometimes my location, or my ass, or my feet). I think whatever response is tolerable to you and suitable to your persona would work.

Being a cam model means answering the same questions all day long, everyday.
I deal with it by telling them where I live. If they ask where im from I say Im originally from Canada. When they ask where I am right now I say Im at home in my room. You just have to accept that its part of the job and dont let it get to you. Sometimes when Im a bit extra bitchy I tell them its a secret but I will tell them in exclusive. It amuses me if they actually take me exclusive to find out.

The C920 is the standard cam that most models use. You can go into your Logitech Software and adjust the settings to your liking. And also how your lighting is positioned can help as well.

I always upgrade to the latest hd cam, atm i have the c922 and the c920. Yes they show absolutely everything, but that is a good thng. It's super quality and way better than most cam models will have, so better for your customers. If you really want to soften the clarity then you can use the beautify features on youcam, or turn up the white balance on your cam x

Have u tried a ring light? They can get expensive, but I know how to make them from YouTube. A customer bought me the dimmable Diva one and to be honest I rarely use it for long sessions. I made one with a fog light plus foam and wax paper that gives me the glow that I need. Its great for illuminating your face.
Im suggesting this because its a great option for those who don't want a "perfect" stream. Lighting is like everything and its artistic.

Sorry for the late reply, I always miss pinned posts for some reason (I know, no logic!)
I am hoping to get a better cam in the next couple of weeks, I simply can't stretch to a new computer at the moment.
Susie, thank you. Are the beautify features come up in the general settings when you install the cam?
PGD, thank you - and I haven't but I am going to look into this right now! :)
Do any of you get headaches from your lighting at all or are you generally OK? xx

I have the Diva brand thats dimmable and I haven't had to replace the bulb yet but I have researched it. Theres a light bulb store two miles from my house and I swear when I went in there I almost came. The owner showed me a few lights that might fit for around $30. Also he told me that he could order the exact fit online so Im not too worried about it going out.

Hello ladies!
I'm considering starting selling videos. For the beginning, I'll just announce them at Myfreecams and Chaturbate.
For what I have in my mind, I need some fantastic music, which I have found already.
Now, the question!
Is it legal to use (not purpose made unique) music at my videos for sale? Can I be punished for that somehow?

To be on the safe side of things you will need to either purchase the rights to use the song or use music that comes with a free copyright. You can try a youtube channel like this https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCht8qITGkBvXKsR1Byln-wA But usually you have to dig through the corny stuff. My husband makes tracks so I usually just get something from him. But you can find artist on sites like soundcloud too. Just do a search using tags for the particular sound you're searching for.
Ginnyyy
03-08-2017, 05:09 PM
PGD, good idea with the Youtube music. I ve seen in the past a few channels or videos with non copyright music but they didn t look appealing to me. The channel which you posted really has some good songs inthere. Might be using it in the future in very rarely ocassions but I prefer my videos without music.

Hi girls,
I'm completely new to this but I can't wait to start camming. At the moment I'm trying to get as much information as possible and this website is soo helpful but some things are still not clear to me yet.
Well, I have two questions, at first: How does a private chat works? Will the customer tell me what he wants me to do or what will happen? Really, kind of have no idea and I'm really terrified to be in a privat chat and end up in an awkward situation because I have no idea what to do. So embarrassing haha.
Next thing: Somewhere else I've read a wired internet connection is highly recommended. Is that true or do most of you girls cam wireless?

03-12-2017, 05:49 PM
Yes the awkward stage will pass as you gain experience. What site are you on? Free chat can be useful to gain exposure but don't feel you have to exhaust yourself or show anything off there in order to gain clients. If they like how you look, sound, the way you present yourself, the answers you give to their questions etc that will be enough. You'll probably get a better feel for things tomorrow when you do a longer shift x

Hello,
I saw the answer to my question months ago and now I cannot find it, so sorry because I know it's here somewhere. I am looking for the link to sign up with Streamate directly. I was on there last year and I stopped because I was under a studio (had no idea the difference when I signed up) and we didn't see eye to eye. I enjoyed my time on Streamate and I would like to go back to them I just want to know for sure I'm going directly to them and not a studio.
Thanks so much!

you go here to sign up www.streamatemodels.com But you would have to make sure that your old account is closed first I do believe. Send an email to
[email protected] to close the account. Some studios have been known to do shady stuff like login to your account so it looks like you're still in the holding period.

I think I have no chance to do it wired. Unless I just can connect a cable to the wireless router but don't think it's possible? Ah and even then, I don't live alone so I would't have the cable in my room then, hm, difficult...

If it's something like this with an ethernet port then you could hardwire to it.

You can get away with wireless if you have great internet. It just really depends on the signal. Not all wifi is created equal. I sometimes cam from a converted garage in the back yard and I rarely run into issues because I also use an adapter like this to strengthen the signal. Hardwired is preferred but it's not always possible.

CharlottesWebb
03-13-2017, 07:22 PM
Not really a question but looking for feedback on something I've been uncomfortable with. Dirty talking, I feel like I am not a good dirty talker. I can talk about normal things but when people want me to talk about how good their dick is or what I want to do with them I run out of things to say fast and sound awkward while I'm saying it. Would appreciate some advice on how to deal with it. I used to just type and have no sound but its lost me a lot of money and I would like to try and find ways to loosen up and learn how to dirty talk to them to make more money!
sexysusie
03-13-2017, 07:50 PM
Talk about something you enjoy and describe it, slowly, sensually, as though you were doing it to them right there in person. How you'd suck his dick, pull him into you, feel the ridges of his throb bing cock etc etc. Ask how he likes to be touched, does he like it when a woman takes control? Use his words and phrases to build a fantasy for him. He'll be blown away.
Check out literotica.com and watch videos, read up on duty talk and seduction. Like anything you have to practice to get good at it x

Hello, it's me again having a question. :)
I've read here somewhere, i think in a "security thread", that it's recommended not to strip down completely in public chat. To do that and playing with toys etc only in private. Or did I get it wrong?
So my question, I've been having a look on several Chaturbate girls for a couple of days to get an idea of what is all possible. And some of them have written in their profile they don't do private. Why not?
I'm also still a bit confused about these goal thing. Even by watching different ones I still don't really get. Does some have goals like with the first one they take the shirt off, with the second their skirt, then bra then panties, then play with boobs, then with pussy etc? But some doesn't seem to have anything like that. What is better? Or is there no better and it's just what they like more?
I've seen one that didn't have goals and after someone tipped to see her boobs she put her clothes on again. Is that a common way to do it? Is it to make customers who enter the room later also pay for seeing boobs?
Sorry if these are silly questions but I'm confused. :)

I don't cam often and may not be the best source of info, but I'll try to help as best I can, hopefuly a more expirenced and savvy lady will correct any mistakes.
1. I'm unaware of a secruity thread about not stripping down in public chat. Maybe do a google search for security public chat stripping stripperweb? Public chat rules vary by site. Some sites there is no nudity and others its free game. I am unaware of either being a security problem. You always should take steps to protect yourself but on some sites nudity in public chat is not only common but expected.
2. Girls on token sites like Caturbate and MFC will sometimes not offer privates. Reason being is they could have dozens of guys in their room and things are going well and the tips rolling in. Then Someone takes them to private. The time in privates will vary, even if you are gone for 5 minutes the dozens of men in your room tipping will be gone and you'll return to a dead room. So privates are not always worth your time in that situation. That $20 private may have cost you $100 that you could have gotten in tips. And potentialy your room will not recover for the night and in some cases lower cam scores and ratings, which are valuble for placement.
3. Goal setting will vary greatly from girl to girl. One girl may only want to make $50 that day to pay off a bill and another won't even take off her panties for less than $300. It depends on what you want to earn and your clients. It is more common to be a bit cheaper when starting out to build a client base and raise your rates over time, but don't sell yourself too low. There is always a buyer. A price menu is something you'll need to decide for yourself. For example...."Tit flash 40tk, pussy 60tk, 5 spanks 100tk" Some girls will do a count down added to that, a goal for everyone to contribute to. For example "Tit flash 40tk, pussy 60tk, twerk 50tk, cum show at 2000tk" So each time someone pays for a flash it is added to the count down reducing the tokens needed for the cum show. You can do other things to add to the overall goal total like raffles and games. Some girls will not have a tip menu, I don't know the reasons why, but it is a personal choice on wether or not to have one.
I'm not sure I understand your last question. Did the girl you were watching start naked then put on clothes? If it was for a flash then you just show off for a few seconds then cover back up. If another customer in the room wants to see your tits again then they gotta pay again. Don't do anything for free. Always have a price in mind for any requests. Some guys will ask for seemingly mundane things, like looking at your shoes or asking you to stand up. Remember: they are getting off on this and they gotta pay for it.

Thank you so much for so many information Jetta! That helps so much and is exactly what I wanted to know. Yes, last question was about flashing. Makes all sense now. Also why they don't do privates because that was what I was thinking about all the time, if I do private, what happens to my public room. Think I will try the tipping thing as I think I feel more comfortable with it than being "alone" with a guy even it's just via cam.
And thanks for the hint with google search for security public chat, I will try. :)

My question about the April 1st payday for MFC wasn't answered in the MFC Thread, so I'm asking here where more people can see it. Since April 1st is a Saturday, is MFC waiting til April 3rd to send out payments? If so, that means the direct deposit will hit my bank account the next day (April 4). *sigh*

Hi! I've been camming for about a week and last night had a customer ask to Skype direct as to avoid paying more to the site and me only keeping a percentage etc. Is there a safe way to do that where the customer won't see my real name, like through a bitcoin wallet or something similar? Was thinking if I set up 2 wallets, 1 with my stage name, 1 with my real name (attached to my bank account) I can have them pay through the fake name wallet and I can transfer to my real name wallet after but would like some input on bitcoin wallet sites other girls have used (or if it's even possible). I've heard that PayPal will ban you if caught and that customers can find info about you. Still trying to figure all this out, any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
