Re: SM recording your shows
You never know where they are being distributed. The main thing is KNOWING that they are being distributed so you are not disappointed when you see a whole private of yourself on porntube or something like that.
Ways to disguise yourself: Wear contacts, Lie on your stats: Buy a wig (a cute one you wounldn't normally wear), Disguise your room (Take that justin timberlake poster down and put something up like marilyn manson.. something you wouldn't listen to), Play with makeup (If you don't wear lipstick wear lipstick, if you wear red lipstick a lot, wear lighter lipstick, Play with your eye makeup), Don't wear lingerie that your boyfriends have seen .. (there is so much you can do)
Re: SM recording your shows
There really is alot u can do to disguise yourself. TG has great suggestions. I mean havent you ever taken a pic and someone says that doesnt even look like you?
Re: SM recording your shows
have you guys ever stumbled upon your content?
i am going to get a wig. i am trying to decide whether i want to be a redhead, a brunette, or black hair. i dont see many redheads on the sites... i dont know whether that is because there are not many or whether they do poorly. right now though i am leaning towards redhead because that will stand out and i have not done anything with redhair in so long that i doubt anyone would recognize it as me. what do you think for hair color? lilmisssunshine-- i know you know what i look like.

i'm allways looking for myself lol
i recently opened a new account on SM so i don't have any video yet but i had one in my old account that was distributed and for free. i asked them to remove it and they said "we can't" ... right.
Nothing to do against it, but if you are smart you can use them as promo.
Re: SM recording your shows
man it sounds like streammate is like the deja vu of camwhoring from this.
im definitely getting a wig. im going to be a redhead i decided. i think i might also be more comfortable doing nudity and stuff i am doing a different persona. my stripper persona is just me, but tweaked here and there. but i feel like if i come up with a totally separate persona then nudity and possibly using toys will be much less an issue for me.
Re: SM recording your shows
Athena, if you don't want your videos distributed (which I wouldn't), aren't there other sites you can cam on that don't sell your stuff?

my question is this: where are these videos distributed, how widely distributed are they, and do most girls' videos end up getting distributed? it seems that there are so many girls on there that they wouldnt distribute everything... and it also seems to me that if the videos only end up on a couple of places, that the chances of you being seen by someone you know would be slim.
i am already going to cover my tats. thinking about buying a wig.
basically though, how likely would it be for a random person that i know to run into one of these videos? i cant seem to find too much on this specifically.
Covering your tats is a good idea...also some men don't even care if they see your face or not...keep your face out of the camera.

it seems that streammate is the best steady source of income for someone who is unaccustomed to camming. from everything i read on here it sounds like it is pretty easy to get back to back privates.
i could see myself doing really well on MFC if i had time to invest in it. i was watching a lot of stuff on free chat and it seems like girls with a pretty entertaining personality can do quite well without doing really raunchy stuff for free. but this is osmething i just plan on doing for a month before i travel.... i will decide next yr if i want to invest enough time to cultivate regulars etc.

my face is easily my best feature. i have never cammed before, but i imagine i would earn a lot more if i could use my face to help me communicate than if i kept it hidden.
Re: SM recording your shows
I think you would make a great brunette.
Yea, I wouldn't hide your face. Many men tell me they love faces the most over boobs, ass, etc. Especially in free chat.
But what you could do is show very little exposure to your face in privates. Try catching your face only from the lips down or only full face when your face is angled furthest from the camera, like when your laying down and have your goods square into the cam during privates.
If streamate is putting private shows on tube sites, then it would make sense to limit exposure to your face in privates. I could see getting away with it in MOST privates, since once you go private they just wanna see boobs, ass, and vajayjay.
Especially if you are only doing it for a month. Doing that plus a wig should keep your exposure to a minimum. If you get sucky ratings it wouldn't matter if you only did it for a month.
If you venture into MFC in the future, you will pretty much need to be full face all the time.

This!! I don't show my face in private at all. Some men do ask to at least see my lips once I tell them I'm not going to show my face. Some of them get an attitude problem and leave,but most usually stay. I keep the camera off of my face in free chat also,unless they asks to see my face. Then I QUICKLY show them and remove it again. Sure my face is showing on my profile pic and I have a gallery of like 3 pics,but that could be easily argued that some female just stole my pics off of facebook or something. I'm not going to sit here and say I average 50+ because I don't show face and I'm not hardcore in anyway. However I am signing and mailing off my new lease tomorrow. So obviously I still make enough to take care of business!
Re: SM recording your shows
That's true..I've heard the same.
Re: SM recording your shows
Does MFC do this or just SM?
Re: SM recording your shows
with mfc it's the guests, basics, and members who record you and screencap you and post you everywhere.
Re: SM recording your shows
Yea something you should be aware of Athena is that even tho SM sells your shows, your shows can equally be distributed all over the net on other sites by the dudes buying your shows. :(
That was one of the reasons I suggested the one particular site I PM'd you about, since they are so far away, chances would be more slim for that recording to show up in front of people you know.
But back to what I saying earlier, I think just trying to keep your face out of privates should work for now.
Re: SM recording your shows
Im not way too worried about having my face in the videos... my main issue is i dont want someone i know from a while back to see me in a video and go 'oh hey i went to college iwth that chick i think' then go onto facebook and compare pictures and conclude that its me. i think if i do my makeup different and wear a wig of a different hair color and cover my tattoos then it wont occur to them... i will just be an anonymous girl on the internet. i have decided i will wear foundation a layer lighter than usual, and i will wear dark lipstick... basically i will go for a much vampier look. my normal look is either natural blonde or smokey eyed blonde. i think for camming i will look almost gothy. which actually makes me want to ask whether looking gothy will hurt my camming income.
and i dont have any issue at all with my face being on nude pics... i know there are nude pics of me in various spots across the webs and i am very recognizeable in them and it doesnt phase me at all. basically if i am doing something that would be considered OK at a strip club, i dont care if im attatched. but when it starts coming down to masturbation or possibly penetration, then i dont want people to recognize it as me, esp if its on spankwire or somehwere that i know my peers would frequent.
and even if they do find it, its not hte end of the world. im out as a stripper as it is, and since i currently live in new orleans, nobody here gives a fuck what i do. i have already told quite a few of my friends that i was planning on camming, some of them made a couple of silly jokes about various ads they have seen over hte internet, but nothing that actually was malicious or critical. so even if the shmucks i went to college with find it and get their panties in a knot, i dont really associate with them and dont care wayy too much. most of the ones who cared when i started stripping have already taken the necessary steps to remove me from their lives, i.e. unfriending me on facebook and making some snide comments behind my back to people who do care about me, hence how it got back to me.
also lilmissssunshine,... started signing up for that site as well. i will probably be PMing you in the next day or two asking you for additional help.
