I dont know how old u are original poster but i feel u not mature enough even u are a mom of two kids so maybe thats why ur husband treat u like a kid?! Also ur messages dont fully make sense, u write chaotic giving pieces of infoes that wont fully connect.
From all i read here u not fully aware of all consequences of what it means to cam given ur family situation and all, u sound like a teenager that is asking her dad for money to go party. I wish NOT for u to be in the situation to cam IN NEED if ur relation breaks and u have to raise ur kids on ur own. Yes the guy has his issues but maybe he knows better why he behaves like this, we only know ur part of story.
Sorry if my comment sounds harsh but u maybe need to be told these things so u understand some facts.

Well im 24 and I raise my kids ALL DAY by myself i take care of my household n buy for EVERYONE out of the money i get i barely have money to buy myself new clothes or thing that i want to do. He has that liberty if he wants to take a trip out of town or buy something he wants for himself. How do i sound like a teenager wanting to party because i would like to take a trip once a year with friends and im in the house constantly with my kids?? he doesnt keep my kids at all so i can get out the house ...so if i need to get out n get away i should be able to n that isnt childish if i was childish I wouldnt be wit my babies 24/7 n taking care of my home... I wouldnt be even considering webcamming I would spend the money he gives me on MYSELF ... yea my writing is chaotic its not my strongest subject n i had a few glasses of wine while writing this ... I;m not immature by a long shot i do everything for my household n put myself LAST. OPINIONS R WELCOME but its a right n a wrong way to say something to someone so if u wouldve read u wouldve seen i only take care of my family not myself okay

Two sides to every story. Frankly, I would absolutely love to hear what your husband says about all of this - his reasoning behind not wanting you to cam, not giving you money, etc. I think it would be very interesting.
In any case, several ladies have stated here already - If you plan on going in to the medical field, do not cam. Period. I do not think that you have responded, as of yet, to this. Is there a reason?
There are many other things to delve into, rather than camming. Are you at all good at making things or sewing? What about Etsy? Or maybe you are super good at finding deals in the store - how about reselling things on eBay?

I am married and we have 3 kids together...plus he has has 3 kids prior to me. I am a sahm to all 6 kids and I cam. My hubby does a great job taking care of the family but before meeting him I worked full time. I cam because before kids I used to work and made my own paycheck. I had a lot of self pride from those tiny checks I used to make. While I love being a sahm I do miss the regular money I made. I used to hate having to "ask" my man for money. He never made me feel like a child and usually left money in my purse just for me to spend. We both have full access the the bank account. It was always me and the way I felt about not making my own cash. I talked with my husband before signing up for webcamming. At first he had a bad impression of what camming was but after we talked more he felt more comfortable with the idea. Two years later I now cam full time and my husband is fine with it all. It feels awesome to be able to stay home with babies and make money.....I can have my cake and it it too:)
My point is that I get where your frustration is coming from. I think all women, sahm's or not, should have access to their own money. Just like men have a sense of pride when they bring home the bacon so do us women. Maybe your husband is worried about the outcome of his wife working in this type of field? Maybe if you convinced him that you have no physical contact or emotional relationships with men on the cam sites he will reconsider? Whatever you decide good luck:)

^^ Yes that is what my bf was afraid of. It took a little while to ease his mind about it. I actually got him to cam with me at first to show him what it was like. He enjoyed it but he works so much that he didn't want to do it all the time.
Anyways like everybody has already said about your school and career that you probably shouldn't do it.

Sorry but that's what i understood from what u wrote, if situation is as u say why u allowed things to go this path? You did not marry and had kids within a day, right? U and ur husband did not talk about all in between, how u manage finances, kids, responsabilities, what are ur expectations, so on? This marriage is far away from being healthy from ur point of view, he's definitely not treating u like a life partner, how old is he? Nobody can mistreat u if u not allow it to happen therefore i say u two did not built ur marriage on solid grounds.

I find it very ironic that a lot men have no problem going to strip club for a few lap dances but they wouldn't want their women doing anything "adult work" related. Maybe they think it would badly reflect them? Hmmmmmmm
Preach Marina! This is the issue I had with my husband that baffled me. How is it okay to spend $700 on the same cam site you don't want your own wife working on? Makes no sense to me at all. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander IMHO.

This is my 2 cents: They think it's okay because there's no attachment, it's a clear transaction therefore it wouldn't reflect badly on them in case if their friends or family find out. With you being married to him, it's a totally different spectrum. A man's ego is very fragile.
I personally find it disrespectful if my boyfriend or husband go to strip club.

I'm not sure if you are actually IN respiratory therapy school or just wanting to be in it... my husband is currently IN respiratory therapy school and he is gone from 7-3pm daily, five days per week, either in class or at hospitals doing clinicals.
So you might be staying at home taking care of your kids all day long right now... but you already said you don't want anyone else caring for them so that's why you don't get a vanilla job instead of camming... well if you actually do go into RT school you will be gone all day just as a vanilla job... so if you get accepted into RT school AND you cam AND you take care of your kids when you are not in school, you have one mighty full plate that, while not impossible, will be extremely hard to accomplish without the support of your husband.... and without allowing others to care for your kids assuming your husband is gone all day working as well?
I feel like we are not getting even half the picture here...
And as far as stability.... camming is NOT stable. At all.
If all you want is a little money for new clothes on occasion and trips... perhaps suggest to him you each get an equal monthly allowance, and put aside money monthly into savings so you can take a trip TOGETHER as a family, rather than you going on a trip with friends and him going on one with friends.
If you do really end up going to RT school and are successful with that, you will be making a nice income eventually. Camming today is not worth risking that future STABLE career and your marriage.

Once again, the root of the problem is you not having access to the money.
You also should be able to have a "break" from motherhood, 100% but with a baby only 3 months old, I think going out of town with your gf's is a LITTLE much.

Why risk your marriage?
Why not do some babysitting for extra income or tutoring to others in classes you have already aced?
Not like camming is the ONLY job you can do from home...

You have your bases covered, your going into PA which is great money, like Sam said..tutoring is pretty decent money especially if you're tutoring in the sciences or math which I'm guessing you're good at if you're eligible for a PA program? You can nanny or babysit and easily get those jobs because well you're a mom and have experience..There's also phone sex if you want to stay in the adult industry..

Things are starting to not add up for me here. I'm not trying to offend you, perhaps your story simply isn't coming across well over the internet. I'm just seeing what appear to be big truthy red flags.
You're in school for a degree in the medical field. As Sarah mentioned, studying for that degree will keep one away from home nearly all day. My roommate in college was studying to be a respiratory therapist as well, and she was gone 8 am to 6 pm 4 days a week, just for classes. When she got home she did homework until 9 pm. Yet you stay home all day every day with your babies?
You're in an above high school level education path, but your posts here don't have the kind of grammar and punctuation skills I'd expect from someone going through college.
Your husband has a good job that pays for all the bills. He is, however, insisting that y'all not pay an 800 dollar medical bill you got. So you have a high deductible or no medical insurance or he's not good with money or something. This "good" job he has could disappear at any time?
Your husband is controlling and won't let you have any money but you found $700 somewhere to pay for camming supplies*. You say that you have investments, but you're only 24. Where did you come up with the money to invest? How were you able to get at it? I'm only a dabbler in investing, but I can't really think of much that someone who isn't a trust fund baby would have access to at 24.
Giving you the benefit of the doubt and leaving information for future readers of this thread as well, I'll re-state what has been said in earlier posts. You should not cam.
First, the financial goals you have are realistic, but in your situation, just enough at the borderline so as to potentially not be met.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, camming isn't the same game it was in 2009 so I'm not sure what you're expecting you'll have to do to get by. I started camming somewhere around there, 2008, 2009. My FIRST DAY, using wi-fi and a shitty built-in mac webcam I made $200 an hour and I was flying high. Even then I did penetration and dildos. The market is getting saturated with girls and content. I don't have the personality for MFC or the patience to build my cam score there so I keep to pvt-based sites. Admittedly, this caps my earnings. These days I consider myself lucky when I make half of what I did in 2009 and it feels like a grind to get it. Don't get me started on how hard gold shows have become even over the year they've been introduced.
With school, a husband, small children and real life, you've got a lot of time constraints. I've just got a man creature, grad school, two pets and real life and I have a VERY hard time carving out enough time to cam (and do marketing for said camming).
I don't even have to worry about keeping my activity to certain hours so that babies don't walk in on mommy and get "scarred for life."
You know what sucks about having little time to cam? Sometimes it just doesn't seem worth it to spend a half hour on your makeup to cam for an hour. Then you think of how shitty it's been lately and how you'd really rather be watching Project Runway or snuggling with someone you love and....wow it's really hard to get on cam then.
The motivation can be really hard to find during the best of times, and when you're trying to decide on using that one remaining hour and a half to cam or to sweep the floor that hasn't been swept in 3 ....oh shit no um...4, 4? can't be 5, surely.. and when was the last time I did laundry...I think I've run out of panties...weeks, camming might not win.
Even when you have the time and the motivation, you might not be able. I couldn't cam for a whole week when I got a UTI. Some girls work through it (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?185622-what-to-do-when-you-are-on-your-period-yeast-infection) but...guh, ouch.
Income in camming these days is really inconsistent. Everyone and their mother is camming these days (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?185835-Helping-my-mom-get-started-camming). It takes time to build your name, brand, and regulars. During this time it can be really frustrating. There are seasonal peaks and dips, of course, but there are also weekly peaks and dips. The last four days I've made an average of: 47/hr, 78/hr, 126/hr, 32/hr <-legit want-to-cry time there.
Taxes. You're not really making 100/hr net. It's 100/hr gross. I've been modeling long enough to know better, but at the end of the year I still owe money. Always. No matter how much I think I'm putting away, the money I end up with seems like just enough to pay the bills and not enough to save "extra" for taxes.

"Will I be outed?" Maybe. Probably. Eventually. Be prepared for it.
"Will being outed negatively impact my career?" Depends on what you do. If you do anything where you have to sign a morality clause, have ethical standards of activity, or work with children don't even think about it.
And here's one thread (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?167936-Here-is-your-proof!!You-can-still-get-a-job-after-camming!) that says you can do whatever, even after being outed.
Lastly, have you thought about going to marriage counseling? It seems like you and your husband are just not on the same page about anything and are seriously not communicating. Return the stuff to Amazon and use that 700 bucks to find a good relationship counselor (http://www.aasect.org/directory.asp) and work on your marriage. If not for you, and not for him, for your babies.
I'm pretty much doing a 180 on what I said in your previous thread, but with these new details come to light, I must change my mind.
*I was going to take issue with the idea that Amazon sells dildos, but apparently they do. Huh. Ain't that some shit.

I am very lucky to have a husband who knows what I do, supports it, finds it quite entertaining even...but we have been married a very long time and no jealousy or control issues with either of us. He does photography so is around naked girls all the time.. lol No advice except do what you feel right but remember... You have what he wants (aka what you are using on cam)... P- Control..

pretty much everything i would say has been said already,
but maybe you can try non-nude camming? it's what i do.. and i think i make pretty good money. :)
and if you have an exhibtionist side and want to be nude, maybe after you're already camming
he'll be more okay with it since he'll see how it is, and how happy you are with your own income, etc etc.

I'm big on independence but in this case I have to kinda say hold back.
Finance wise you guys are married so you're a team, I talk about any bigger (say 100 or more) purchases with my husband. And I make 100% of the money in the household. This isn't me ASKING for permission, if I needed something I'd buy it, it's a courtesy thing. We both need to look out for the family, would I love to blow all my hard earned money on fun shit? Hell yes, but when you're married no matter who makes the money its an OUR money thing, not a MY money thing. This isn't him being controlling, it's teamwork and money is his business. I know a lot of girls here will be offended for you, but marriage is a different situation and he's hardly using you for cash. He just doesn't want you doing a sexual job for it.
This definitely isn't worth causing a rift in your marriage, I'm lucky to have a guy who understands my job. But we also need the money, it's not just for fun. Guys are jealous creatures.
You said you're in college, depending on the field you go into, history in the adult industry could ruin your future career choice. This isn't a job to jump into for just a few minutes because you need some independence from your husband (which trust me, I completely understand).
My suggestion is try fetish clips (hair brushing and sneezing are pretty harmless and may be a better starting point from your husband's point of view than camming. or simply find a vanilla job that you can do part time, but don't ruin your relationship or your future career plans for an urge.

Things are starting to not add up for me here. I'm not trying to offend you, perhaps your story simply isn't coming across well over the internet. I'm just seeing what appear to be big truthy red flags.
You're in school for a degree in the medical field. As Sarah mentioned, studying for that degree will keep one away from home nearly all day. My roommate in college was studying to be a respiratory therapist as well, and she was gone 8 am to 6 pm 4 days a week, just for classes. When she got home she did homework until 9 pm. Yet you stay home all day every day with your babies?
You're in an above high school level education path, but your posts here don't have the kind of grammar and punctuation skills I'd expect from someone going through college.
Your husband has a good job that pays for all the bills. He is, however, insisting that y'all not pay an 800 dollar medical bill you got. So you have a high deductible or no medical insurance or he's not good with money or something. This "good" job he has could disappear at any time?
Your husband is controlling and won't let you have any money but you found $700 somewhere to pay for camming supplies*. You say that you have investments, but you're only 24. Where did you come up with the money to invest? How were you able to get at it? I'm only a dabbler in investing, but I can't really think of much that someone who isn't a trust fund baby would have access to at 24.
Giving you the benefit of the doubt and leaving information for future readers of this thread as well, I'll re-state what has been said in earlier posts. You should not cam.
First, the financial goals you have are realistic, but in your situation, just enough at the borderline so as to potentially not be met.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, camming isn't the same game it was in 2009 so I'm not sure what you're expecting you'll have to do to get by. I started camming somewhere around there, 2008, 2009. My FIRST DAY, using wi-fi and a shitty built-in mac webcam I made $200 an hour and I was flying high. Even then I did penetration and dildos. The market is getting saturated with girls and content. I don't have the personality for MFC or the patience to build my cam score there so I keep to pvt-based sites. Admittedly, this caps my earnings. These days I consider myself lucky when I make half of what I did in 2009 and it feels like a grind to get it. Don't get me started on how hard gold shows have become even over the year they've been introduced.
With school, a husband, small children and real life, you've got a lot of time constraints. I've just got a man creature, grad school, two pets and real life and I have a VERY hard time carving out enough time to cam (and do marketing for said camming).
I don't even have to worry about keeping my activity to certain hours so that babies don't walk in on mommy and get "scarred for life."
You know what sucks about having little time to cam? Sometimes it just doesn't seem worth it to spend a half hour on your makeup to cam for an hour. Then you think of how shitty it's been lately and how you'd really rather be watching Project Runway or snuggling with someone you love and....wow it's really hard to get on cam then.
The motivation can be really hard to find during the best of times, and when you're trying to decide on using that one remaining hour and a half to cam or to sweep the floor that hasn't been swept in 3 ....oh shit no um...4, 4? can't be 5, surely.. and when was the last time I did laundry...I think I've run out of panties...weeks, camming might not win.
Even when you have the time and the motivation, you might not be able. I couldn't cam for a whole week when I got a UTI. Some girls work through it (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?185622-what-to-do-when-you-are-on-your-period-yeast-infection) but...guh, ouch.
Income in camming these days is really inconsistent. Everyone and their mother is camming these days (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?185835-Helping-my-mom-get-started-camming). It takes time to build your name, brand, and regulars. During this time it can be really frustrating. There are seasonal peaks and dips, of course, but there are also weekly peaks and dips. The last four days I've made an average of: 47/hr, 78/hr, 126/hr, 32/hr <-legit want-to-cry time there.
Taxes. You're not really making 100/hr net. It's 100/hr gross. I've been modeling long enough to know better, but at the end of the year I still owe money. Always. No matter how much I think I'm putting away, the money I end up with seems like just enough to pay the bills and not enough to save "extra" for taxes.

"Will I be outed?" Maybe. Probably. Eventually. Be prepared for it.
"Will being outed negatively impact my career?" Depends on what you do. If you do anything where you have to sign a morality clause, have ethical standards of activity, or work with children don't even think about it.
And here's one thread (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?167936-Here-is-your-proof!!You-can-still-get-a-job-after-camming!) that says you can do whatever, even after being outed.
Lastly, have you thought about going to marriage counseling? It seems like you and your husband are just not on the same page about anything and are seriously not communicating. Return the stuff to Amazon and use that 700 bucks to find a good relationship counselor (http://www.aasect.org/directory.asp) and work on your marriage. If not for you, and not for him, for your babies.
I'm pretty much doing a 180 on what I said in your previous thread, but with these new details come to light, I must change my mind.
*I was going to take issue with the idea that Amazon sells dildos, but apparently they do. Huh. Ain't that some shit.

I take it that your will to thank people who dedicate a lot of time to help you on a forum is about as high up on your list of priorities to bother to use proper grammar on forums. Is a place like this, forum or not - where you clearly have these incredible people who know so much about this industry you wanted to join, doing so much for you - really so deserving of such a meager response?
You appear to pay scant regard to some of the best advice I've ever seen anyone give anyone on a forum (and I've visited forums for oh... 10+ years now? lol). But you will write a paper that will amaze us? Sure. Please.. look at what people are giving you here.. It's no small thing, but are you even taking any of it on board?

Nude or non-nude, if you're working as a camgirl you will still be deemed "sex worker", and so will still be endangering your future career.

How is it 'kissing ass' to write clearly so other people can read what you write easily? You don't really seem to care about the advice people are giving you about camming if it doesn't fit your world view and insulting people in the process by saying we are being picky when we just want to be able to understand you and help. You will be viewed as a sex worker even if you do non-nude camming, and no one here wants you to ruin your future career in RT or your marriage, no matter how rocky. We aren't saying you have to do what we tell you, but you should really consider it in your decision making process.

I don't believe Incantatious was being nasty at all. I think she was pointing out that caring so little about people helping you through disregarding advice even if it is something you disagree with without considering it (from what it seems) and not caring about if others can comprehend you was reflecting badly upon you. This forum is about helping all of us who cam, either through giving and helping others or at least considering and thanking others for what they have been offering.

You don't see the point in being barely legible here.. and yet, you expect people to throw career advice, relationship guidance counselling and camming help on your lap all whilst you're making yourself extremely hard to read and understand - and then start biting the hand that feeds you because your apparently deliberate and intentionally lacking posting style has been remarked upon.. If you don't see the point in these pretty easy things which show just an ounce of consideration, why should I see the point in trying to help you?
I don't expect either myself or others to get their "ass kissed" for giving advice to someone when they could simply not have bothered in the first place. But just simply recognizing what is clearly occurring here is not being insulting, so why take it personally? All I'm doing is seeing how you're being with people, and how completely fruitless the whole prospect of helping you appears to someone who may take the time out of their day to bother doing so.
I do hope you've read the advice people have give you here and have been helped out by it! I hope you know exactly know what your next course of action will be based on what ladies have given you here. Why? Because it's damn good help! XD

Sure, some people are out of school for the summer, that's not uncommon. In the life sciences field (like my undergrad degree) or in the medical field (like respiratory therapy), it's pretty common to at least have to take one or two classes. In grad school I'm taking two classes and a practicum during the summer. I and many people I know have taken classes every semester, so the fact that many people don't take classes in the summer doesn't occur to me first thing.
This does lead into my point about writing and grammar. It's important everywhere, not just in academic writing. From the way you write here, much was unclear in your posts and I'm not the only one who was confused. This could be due to your "informal" writing style. I know we don't always want to police ourselves and i and u are okay sometimes, but basic clarity and structure are needed. Very few -if any- of us understood what you were trying to say about your degree and resulting status as a SAHM. It wasn't at all clear what you spent the 700 dollars on. Why explain something, "for the hundredth time" when you could have done it professionally and thus explained it only once? The reason I originally brought it all up was, as RaeRae said, we are trying to understand what you said so that we can help you.
Beyond basic writing skills, the burden of proof can be higher a) on the internet (where nobody knows you're a dog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Internet,_nobody_knows_you're_a_dog)) and b) among sex workers. As I'm sure you're aware -being someone familiar with camming- people are always trying to scam cam girls out of something. In addition to normal internet vigilance, we have to be extra careful and do our due diligence. Again, I'm sure you know that we're just hyper-aware and there's no disrespect meant by calling question. Sex workers generally do understand this and are happy to verify/provide more information when needed (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?158982-This-site-should-be-private!!!!&p=2179876#post2179876).

I want you to stop and really think for a moment. You are asking a bunch of women to spend time on giving you free and helpful advice when they are usually being paid for their time in general. They have been good enough to respond to your question as they see fit. If I were you, I'd appreciate that anyone took the time to answer my question at all.

but maybe you can try non-nude camming? it's what i do.. and i think i make pretty good money. :).
Nude or non-nude, if you're working as a camgirl you will still be deemed "sex worker", and so will still be endangering your future career.
^This is true, but there is a little less risk of being summarily chucked out with the less "hard core" stuff. When I was outed in the media there was a lot of argument among professional media types and viewers commenting at home about whether the things I'd done at the time (only artistic nudes and some clothed fetish work like balloons and tickling) was enough to call me (heh, or condemn me as) a "porn star." Some days it seemed like more people were leaning yes, and some days more leaning no. I don't think that there would have been much debate at all if the same outing were to happen now and I don't think that there would have been any debate at all if I'd done boy/girl porn. Silly, I know, but true.
I know I'm belaboring the point as far as forum vets are concerned, but I'll bring up "The Issue" with non-nude camming again, since we're here:
There tend to be fewer guys who are into it = less money to go around.
It's largely based on the personality of the girl = takes even longer for regs to get to know you and therefore, for you to build a following.
To the above point, there's a lot more marketing (aka time sinking) to non-nude. Nearly as much as Indy.
The girls who seem to do the best at it have a very special, very specific look, like the adorbs. and super alluring KillKeely and MissEgo.

I feel like this thread has finished going downhill and will now become the act of digging a hole.
Nude or non-nude you're a camwhore. You're on a porn site. You will be stigmatized, AND your background checks don't say "She worked for a pornsite BUT she was non-nude." They say "She worked for a pornsite."
I think non-nude was only offered as a way to sate your husband. It is NOT a way to save your ability to work in the medical field.

Original story is pretty nonlinear and confusing to me at least, I cant follow it. I tried but am all

.... but good god there are some gems in this thread. Im glad I didnt just scroll away. Seriously. Gems that are its own "Starting PLace for Camgirls: Part 2" (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?150383-Starting-Place-For-Cam-Girls), like an addendum to 'think this through before starting camming, damnit'
(https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?158241-Reasons-you-may-not-want-to-cam!). Like they should be plastered in every "Hey I wanna start camming" type of threads like: h w much can I earn, how much do you earn, can I be non-nude, can I be invisible, and so on thread from here on. Wanted to spotlight a few mor eso I can easily link back to them but also just to spotlight it:
No, camming is NOTHING like it was back in 2009. Not even close. The game has changed. MANY established models do not even make $1,000 per week. If you search around you can see that easily...
I also did a poll based on verified cam girls here and came up with the results that 62.4% of models are making less than $3,000 per month (so less than $1,000 per week), you can see the full results here: http://lifeofacamgirl.com/2013/01/how-much-money-do-webcam-models-make/
Not like camming is the ONLY job you can do from home...

WE can't make anything. I know how much I make, but I'm not you. What YOU make solely relies upon you. Well established camgirls who work their ass off (well over 40 hours a week including marketing) will make bank. Dabblers who work a couple hours a day, no marketing, etc... may make less. Even well established girls have bad days. Even dabblers have good days. You won't know what you'll make until you try, but don't let the new girl period fool you into thinking you'll always make that, and don't be disappointed if you make less.
Not saying don't try, just saying be realistic.
