Many of you would say "Wonderfulness? That SUX!" and to those people I would say "EVERYTHING Evolves. Evolve, or go extinct." and those who have read me with enthusiasm or serious criticism all know that I think the cam world needs to be subject to shake-ups and survival of the fittest, and at all times it is good for us.
See, I believe that those who are truly wily and creative and artful, and mentally flexible and extremely wide ranging in their performance choices...THOSE girls deserve to have this industry to themselves. The rest can make their $300-$400 per week, or worse yet barely eke a living, just to keep the camsites up and running. To support those who are willing to BE the cam industry.
The thing is, right now, with the male dominated industry, and with the way things are set up, this isn't actually happening in the way it should...It still shakes out, but in ways that are skewed by the badly set-up system. At this point, there are too many girls on too many cam sites doing bad shows, and wide-open public play, and whatever will bring them money, even at the cost of our industry, at the cost of shows being fantasy and tease...One of the reasons being desperation, because there are 200, 300, even 500 girls on a camsite, Americans competing with Asians and Eastern Europeans, and all of the desperately trying to make a living at this, until the customers rule and control the game, because they won't come see you if you don't do (fill in the blank) in public, because they have 9000 other camgirls they can go see on 20 different camsites...Who is it good for? Camsite owners...NOT performers.
So we have MFC, and they have become a pretty heavy force in the cam industry, and in doing so they have messed up, because they had the opportunity to be the HERO of the camgirl...by just using the camscore like they should, and sticking to their own damn rules, keeping the public shows sexier than MOST places, but never allowing the WHOLE show in public...and we all know how well they stick to their own rules....
The point of this post, is to lay out some pointers for the women who want to be in that top echelon of camgirls. Because in the end, evolution ALWAYS happens, and it isn't enough to just flop the legs open in public to make money, once there are hundreds of girls doing it.
So when I was asked in the past "With those ideas, why do you post to help girls?" and I responded with stuff about not spoonfeeding girls, it was a poor way to explain something. So let me say it this way. I have learned that if I give someone secrets that would allow them to double their money, 50% ignore it or treat it as too much trouble, 20% pay attention and even ask questions, but don't ever do anything with it, 10% use it, but not fully enough to really make it explode their money (and more power to these people...), and 18% get pissed off and argue and question and attack. ONLY 2% actually just take the gift and use it to double their income. That isn't just here, but in general.
I realize I am somewhat of a poor teacher and a kind of poor communicator, because I sometimes just piss people off and I was not even going anywhere NEAR that....So I am doing what I can now to change this industry by DOing. If I make places available where the best and brightest cam girls can flourish and become wealthy, I will have done my part.
Until that day, making 35% on Stream seems insane, or working for the other low pay places.
And finally, the biggest thrust of everything I "preach" about...while I will stick to believing that there is an over-abundance of girls trying to make money at camming, and we need a big shake-out to be good for all of those who are truly in it for the longhaul...there is TONS of room for good performers who truly bring artistry and creativity and erotic sensuality to camming, and it will be a long long time if EVER before we have "too many" of those girls.
