Thanks for all your help. So if a guy wants typing dirty talk along with the camming should I just make him pay for the camming or add sexting I have for 1.75 a min for sexting along with the 3.50 a min for camming?
No problem.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I'll give it a shot. If he wants you to type to him DURING your paid cam session, I wouldn't charge extra for that. If anything, he's ensuring that you do less during the time you spend together, because typing is time consuming. If he wants dirty talk during unpaid time, yes, you should be charging. Unpaid time is anytime the timer isn't running, so if the guy pays for 10 minutes of camming, but then wants to type for 15 minutes before you start, you're working for free. There's a difference between clearing up a few details after he pays (especially since you usually have a minute between him paying and you getting the receipt email) versus getting a bunch of free dirty talk.**

This also applies to an excessive amount of "getting to know you" chat. Think about any other customer service job and how much you would chat before getting down to business. You probably wouldn't get further than "Hi, how are you?" "I'm great, thanks! How's your day going?" "Oh, that sounds nice/That sucks!" before you'd be expected to ask "So how can I help you?" Remember that in camming, what we are selling is our time and attention. I promise that it's possible to get paid good money just for sharing your personality, and it's also possible to get paid good money to listen to guys talk to you.

If a guy is pushing for dirty talk or GFE style chatting when he hasn't paid, the first thing I'd do is politely remind him that you'll have that conversation during your cam session. If he doesn't bite, you can offer to do a paid texting session first/instead. If that doesn't work either, he's trying to scam you or just doesn't understand how this works. Unfortunately, that's going to be the case most of the time. Excuse yourself from the conversation in whatever way works best for you, but keep in mind that he might be a customer in training, so adjust your attitude accordingly.

I personally haven't had a lot of luck with paid text sessions. My best outcome has been with subs that like long shows, but weren't sure if they would like my style, so they started out with a text session first. When the texting went well, they became cam regular cam customers. Also, my cam guys will occasionally do a text session if they are stuck somewhere that camming isn't an option.

Things to look out for so that you don't give away too much chatting:

~ With the exception of "how are you?" there are almost no good "free chat" questions that start with "how". If he asks any question that starts with "how," take a moment to think about whether he's fishing for dirty talk. Examples: How hairy is your bush, exactly? How horny are you? How often do you get laid? How big is the largest dick you've had? How are you going to dominate me? How do you like to get fucked?

~ Are you providing a detailed description of anything (body parts, clothing, toys, equipment, whatever)? There aren't a lot of situations where you need to describe anything at all before the show starts. If a fetishist wants something specific in his show, he usually knows exactly what it is, and he will tell you about it upfront. A shoe fetishist who legitimately wants a show will tell you that he wants a strappy stiletto at least 4" high. He won't ask you to describe every shoe you own so he can pick one. If he does need to explore your shoe collection, he can do it with you on paid cam time. My one consistent exception to this rule is if someone has asked for something, and I don't have it but can substitute something else, I'll briefly describe what I do have (e.g. "Is it okay if I use a tight black skirt and top instead of the black dress?"). If you are in doubt about whether a description is legitimately necessary to selling a show, can you describe it in dry, technical terms (My bra size is 32DD; My BBC dildo is caramel colored and X inches by Y inches.)? If you do, and the guy pushes for something juicier, you know he's fishing.

~ Is the guy going through his fantasy line by line, disguising it as a series of basic questions? This can be tricky, because some guys legitimately have a lot of details they want included in their fantasy, but more often than not, those legit guys will just write you a paragraph or list about what they want and ask if you if you can do it (e.g. "I want harsh SPH with JOI and CEI, and I want you to take pics of me to show to your friends. Good?"). The guys that sound like they are going through the story one question at a time are probably jerking off to your answers. (e.g. "Are you a harsh Mistress?" "Do you think 3 inches is a small cock?" "Are you going to tease me about my small cock?" "Are you going to take pictures of it?" "Are you going to show them to your friends?" "Are your friends going to laugh when they see them?" "Are you going to tell me when to cum?" "Are you going to make me eat it?" etc.)

~ Who is doing the talking while you are chatting over text? Is it you? Ideally, you would both keep the negotiations short and sweet, but if there's going to be some additional discussion, he should be the one doing it. It's his job to tell you what he wants so you can agree or decline. It's NOT your job to tell him everything that's on the menu or to build a fantasy for him for free.

~ Did he ask for a sample, a preview, a tease, or any variation of "help me get excited before we start"? This one is probably obvious, but it's not normal for Skype models to give free previews or anything of the sort, whether or not it involves turning on your cam. The same applies to "I want to get to know you first."

Hi!

Over the years I have built a pretty decent following on Skype, however, I am always looking for more Skype cam clients. How do you get yours? I accumulated mine over the years through various ad websites and cam websites, with men keeping me added as a contact on there after a booked show. Is this how you built up yours too?



Always looking for more contacts!

Is Skype no longer allowed for indie camming?
