Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
Hi all,
I've been lurking primarily, but I have a super pressing question after spending a few hours reading today. What sites are best for a camgirl who REALLY needs for people in real life to not know that she's modeling? I understand that the sites need our driver's license for legal reasons, but the recent hacking is pretty scary to me! Are we pretty much safe with big sites like streamate, MFC, and LiveJasmin?
I'm already planning on wearing a wig and some sexy glasses, so I'm not too worried on that front.... would it really even matter if someone got my ID to blackmail me, since my camera pic wouldn't match my ID pic?
I am so broke (again) that it's not even funny, but I don't want to completely ruin my future career. :-\ I have a promising career path in front of me, and I'm really going to need it down the road. Any suggestions? And feel free to PM me if you aren't comfortable posting them on here.
XOXO and thanks! :)

I, too, am pretty concerned about anonymity, esp. in light of all the recent cases in the news of teachers being fired for less (needless to say, I'm in education). Thus far, I've been pretty successful being faceless on cam unless/until it's with a regular, but I'm also keeping my eyes open for cheap (but not cheap-looking) wigs. So hard to window-shop for this sort of thing online! I'd love some recommendations if you've figured it out :)

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
<3 I love your username so much, btw! I'm going into a semi-educational field, but even though it's not related to elementary or high school students I still want to get a PhD and it might be hard to get that or a job if I have this big scandal in my past!
I'm doing the wig and glasses thing at this point. Check ebay for some cute ones... I've been impressed with the way a lot of Forever Young ones look! I'm very curious to know if just the fact of the website having my ID would be enough for someone to fire me/scandalize me, or if we're okay as long as you can't tell it's us in the pictures/vids. I'll probably also try to avoid getting remotely naked at all in public and group chats... obviously people can still record me in private, but I'm less worried about that.
NOW my main concern is, who deletes that information when you ask them to? Streamate claims to, but no one is replying to my email either there or at MFC. I've heard MFC keeps your ID on file, which scares me. I'd like to think that in six months or whenever I've got enough money to survive, I can delete my profile completely and never have it pop back into my life again unless I want it to!

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
You can wear a wig and a disguise. But there is always a chance you will be recognized.
Once your are out there, you are out there. Even if a site lets you delete all content, you never know if a customer recorded a show. Once that happens, it can pop up anywhere, any time.

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
In generaly, the WORST places for you are the big cam sites. Streamate, LJ, Steamray, etc. for 2 BIG reasons...(get to them in a sec)
MFC is ALMOST as bad....but they don't GENERALLY sell or transfer your content.
Now, if you read the contracts of most, if not ALL the big sites, they own EVERYTHING you do on their site and can sell it LONG after you are no longer performing...win a Nobel Prize, you can be SURE they will release NoBel Nymphette DildoFest, starring you. In other words they own every second you are on cam as well as every picture you send them to post of you as well as the ID pic FOREVER...that is what "in perpetuity" means. Since they own ALL of that forever, and since they MUST have your ID if you are in the US or Canada to use ANY of it...When do you think they will delete your ID?
Correct! NEVER.
On top of this, they will be selling pics of you and vids of you and putting them on tube sites and shit, and that increases your chances of being seen/found EXPONENTIALLY.
MFC has a contract which is possibly worse for them owning all content, but they don't generally sell that content. I wouldn't count on their good-heartedness for things to stay that way though.
So, my short answer...AdultWork if yer in the US and that way you never get recognized, and also they don't have a horrible contract to sign...

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
sounds good! And am I confused, or is one of our members (Princess Jenny) running something with AW? There's just so much to look at and think about. O_o Thanks for the help!
-
Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
I believe PrincessJenny has a daily pay service through Adultwork,MFC and a couple of other sites. Registrations may be open for that option right now,not sure. You should do a search for her name or adultwork. A lot of the woman on this site use her and she is VERY helpful! The search will tell you everything you need to know :)

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
is there $$ to b made on adultwork? may b a searchable question but i thought i would ask.how sure r we mfc doesnt sell ur content? i have seen several top mfc models plastered in the cam secs of tube sites. dunno if they r user uploaded tho.....

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
Sm commonly links to porn sites so if your on the front page , and someone in your town likes porn, your libel to be there pop up. If you that worried, try Indy. Wear wigs, aw is good about it too I hear.
-
Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
As for princess Jenny , she offers daily pay , for a small percent of your earnings, I haunt seen her on lately either hehe
-
Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
Yeah, I signed up with her so we'll see... I worry about indy (assuming indy means independent, lol) because of security issues, so I'm thinking the wig and AW is my best bet.
-
Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
Non UK guys still use AW- ( or did ya mean because of the lack of ID aspect )
So you could still be recognized there, Unless we're talking about only being recognized from your I.d
If being recognized if going to absolutely destroy your future, I would seriously re-consider this path as a quick fix . Maybe phone sex? fetish videos and pics , avoiding face but relying on fetish aspect to sell them . Belly button , foot/shoe fetish , food squashing etc etc ......
Personally I couldn't give much of a hoot if I got outed*, other than pride . My 'web design and promotional management' job , would suddenly sound pretty crap lol -
If my future was relying on it , I don't think I would bother - I come from a small town , and in 7 years I've been faced with my real name a couple of times from members ! It's never nice, but it happens .
If all you're faced with is embarrassment and a little pride swallowing , it's not too bad, but if it's going to fuck you up really badly and ruin everything you've worked towards and planned for your career ahead... is it going to be worth the risk ?

Yes AW has money to be made.

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
ukmissy, I do plan on doing more clothed work and texting when possible... but I really need the money from webcamming. :( I'll try to stay clothed outside of privates as much as possible! I feel like even doing phone sex could get me in hot water with my future career path, so I might as well pull in the big bucks, right? =/
-
Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
I see your point - but there is a MUCH bigger chance being recognized from your face than your voice - I do see what you're saying though ... it's going to be just as bad either way if you get caught - so You might as-well go for what's going to bring in the most money . I understand that .
What about getting some vids on clips4sale without your face - Some of my friends do well putting the same camming hours into movie content !
Would it completely wreck your future , or your pride ?
Hugh grant was outed fucking Devine and he does ok :-) lol
Much love<3 and luck !

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
Yeah, the wig I got has long bangs, and I intend to wear thick-rimmed (but cute!) glasses too, even while having sex. :P For the most part I plan on not keeping the camera on my face, lol.
But you're right, I'm definitely going to plan on putting some vids out there. :) I don't know how easy it is to bank with that, but it seems worth a shot. And I have some old clients I used to sell used panties to who might even buy stuff... no telling. :) Only a handful of close friends know about the camming and I think with the right wig and glasses and recording I should be okay.
I also really want to start doing SMS chat on AW, but I can't get my mobile phone verified. :( Does it normally take a few days? I send the reply with the code and it goes through, but my stupid account never updates as having gotten the code.
-
Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
Not sure on that - I've never done the sms paid chat on AW - so Wouldn't know how busy it is - I would also be interested to hear from anyone else re: texting on AW
There's a few other places you can look into paid SMS too - although I have done that in the past and the pay wasn't anywhere near camming type pay - also I had to work shifts which I didn't appreciate .
You should be covert enough with the wig and glasses - Perhaps fake tan/skin lightening , depending which natural tone you're disguising , diff color contact lenses and fake birthmarks/beauty spots -
Just a few I could think of , but I'll post more if I think of any . xx

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
yeah, on AW you make 50% in SMS... that's half a pound per message, which is about .80 USD. :D not bad for a few texts back and forth. For the phone sex it's whatever price you set minus .15 (pounds) for the website. Pretty good, really! I was reluctant to try AW but I'm really glad I did... seems like they rip you off the least out of all the big sites, so far.

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
the classified section will help you to get a real job where you dont have to change into an alter ego to go to work. Im not sure why ladies think camming is the easy way out.
good luck with that.
-
Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
i guess because a minimum wage job doesn't pay nearly as much as camming does..
and besides, you get to work at home- in your underwear!! whats not to love about that???

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
I am actually pretty sick and haven't been able to work since 2008. :( I've been doing writing projects from home, but it's utterly exhausting and it pays peanuts for the amount of work I'm doing. I can't work even a basic office job because I'm not able to consistently leave my apartment.
Believe me, I've tried every possibility I know of. It's not that I'm too good for other jobs or anything, it's that I literally have no other option for paying my bills at this point. I applied for disability almost a year ago, but in my area it's not uncommon for cases to take up to 3 years!!! I can't just starve and not pay my medical bills for three years.
I can't speak for other girls, but my desire to cam comes from a place of desperation. If I were medically able to escort or even strip I probably would have by now! Yes, some day I will hopefully have a six figure job, but until I can afford to see the specialist I need to camming (and phone sex, and sms chat) are pretty much my only options.

Wow, sorry to hear that, A!^ You & I have somethng in common. I wish you the best hun

This is part of the reason I absolutely love camming.
I have some health problems that leave me unable to work for several days at a time and the flexibility of camming has been a lifesaver for me.
What type of six figure job is in your future that camming would interefere with? (if you don't mind sharing). Maybe you are being a bit too paranoid?

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
I would like to be a dean at a college, perhaps even president of a university. In the meantime I will probably be a director of student residence life or something similar, after I finish my grad school and perhaps a PhD program. I don't know how easily I could get fired or not-hired for doing webcam porn, but I don't want to find out the hard way.

Re: Site recs for a paranoid camgirl?
I have the same dilemma, my career path is teaching so... You may want to consider phone sex, no one can recognize you, purchase the rights to another models pics. You can even disguise your voice. I do Ok, not sure what the norm is but I'm making $600-$750 a week doing nothing but phone sex, no cam. I also have another PT job plus I'm a single mom. I'm still considering Cam, though only if I wear a wig, contacts, alternate character, voice.:-\
