How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I'm curious how people heard of Other Work (if you're pre-May 2011) or Camming Connection (post-May2011)?
I found SW about 4 years ago when I was thinking about becoming a stripper - I never registered but lurked. When my schedule got more hectic I realized I couldn't fit stripping in, so I stopped lurking/forgot about the site.
Then I crashed into it again about a year and a half ago - I noticed on Jenny DeMilo's (phenomenal, highly recommended to anyone doing sex work) blog that StripperWeb was listed in the sex worker resources section.
I had been dissatisfied by the other camming forums Id found at that point (too many customers, inactive, too much spam) and was jazzed to see the exact opposite here. It took me forever to actually register and start posting but that's my referral story.
I'm curious about others?

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I think I stumbled onto Stripperweb months ago, but didn't sign up because I thought I had to be a stripper, but then I saw the camming connection, and signed up. I found it through Google, I think I was just looking up sex forums or camming forums, I don't remember what I typed, but I found it. I love this forum!! I am on another cam forum, but I never go on it now lol

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
AC forum. A girl mentioned it in the models only section and I was like stripper what? So I checked it out and I loved it. This is actually the first forum that I have participated in. Also, this is the first forum that have kept my interest. Normally if I find a forum, I might visit it 2 or 3 times. I find myself visiting SW 2 or 3 times a day. In some days 2 or 3 times an hour. I love:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat StripperWeb, the good and the not so good:O lol! Wish I would have found it sooner.

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
Last year aug/sept I found the site looking for cams with remotes

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I lurked the first time I ever found it. I remember googling a question about camming and that's how I found it. It was something about MFC.
I've been in love with it ever since.

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I found it a month ago through Textilicious since that forum is dead now.

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I found Stripperweb way back in 2004. I had done/was doing "other work" at the time and was researching stripping. I decided I was probably too old to start stripping, but I did create an account and would visit the other work section from time to time over the years just as a kind of check in (was very busy with the other areas of my life although I've been in/out of other sex work.)
I started lurking again probably a year and a half ago, but this time I was researching camming in particular and saw the topic was active in the other work section. I created this account when I felt like I was ready to get serious about camming.
Great question and thread!

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I found it from Extra Lunch Money. I was reading an article by them, I think it was about how much cam girls make. It mentioned this forum and then I came over here and I am sure glad I did.

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I've been a lurked here since 2005 and actually found it when I was thinking of becoming a stripper. And made a new account when I couldn't remember my old account password. Lol

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I actually wanted to become a stripper back in 2009 and found this site. I lurked for a couple of months then finally joined. I mainly stayed in the stripping general and newbie forums but would sometimes read other work. I never could quite lose those the weight I needed to to become a stripper but one of the other girls on the board had mentioned I should try camming because the weight thing wasn't a big deal like it was with stripping. So I decided to become a camgirl but I had grown attached to my screename on here and I wanted to use it as my camming name as well as for my website and my blog. So I deleted my old SW account and opened a new one under Avamonet just to maintain some anonymity.

I found SW through a random post mentioning it on Textilicious. So glad I found it cause it's helped me learn so much. Thank you to all of the ladies who contribute here!

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I ended up here back in Feb of last year after the Camwealth thing happened, a person messaged me about it and gave me a link to the thread about it. While I think her objective was to get me to leave the site (lots of over-the-top "cash out before they get brought down", "your life could be at risk" hystrionics) I was curious, and checked it out. I LOVED the atmosphere here...don't have alot of women in my life who are open about sexuality as I am, so sw was a great gust of fresh air... lurked for eons (I wanted to get to know the culture of sw and learn all I could before I started participating) and finally joined up this summer
Hater-girl did me a HUGE favour :)

LOL I wana put that in my siggy ;D
Umm, I've known about this site forever. I wasn't very active when I signed up last year but lately, since the camming section has taken off, I'm much more interested. I've always liked that it's mainly for us and the dudes are mostly kept down below where they belong ;D

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
Been a lurker for a while then found the camming section at the time when it was once helpful. Then for some stupid reason i signed up.

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I found it when I hit a techy problem on AdultWork. I Googled "JustCamIt not working" and I got loads of hits for StripperWeb.
Managed to sort my webcam issue out from reading a few posts related to it in the search and ended up trawling through the "Other Work" section till I passed out from exhaustion (literally, I just couldn't get enough of it!!)
I lurked for quite a while before making an account. Best Google result *ever*!!
Since joining SW I've armed myself with a wealth of information, gotten myself onto DailyPay (thanks PrincessJenny ;D) and basically found an outstanding community that I love being a part of

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
i originally found this site when i was googling 'where to sell my old used up stripper shoes to foot fetish guys'. then this forum came up and i read the few posts that popped up in the search and got the info i needed but didn't come back and register until i was thinking about entering the camming side of the biz and realized that this place is a treasure trove of info. took me a few months before i posted, so i was a lurker for a while and then i wanted to become apart of it and i love it and never looked back since:)

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I searched google looking for forums about webcam modeling. I was tired of the cencorship on the imlive forums. We could not freely discuss anything there unless it is kissing imlive's ass, or talking about pointless dumb shit, and my posts would get deleted all the time by imlive's customer service team. It was pissing me off so I figured I would try and look for a forum where cam girls had free will.
I searched and at first I did not find this forum. I found a few forums that were not very active, so kept searching and eventually found other work section on here. That was about 2009 I think.

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I was googling webcam modelling after spotting it mentioned on moneysavingexpert, then found AC's forum. That was ok but everyone seemed to be in the US and obsessed with MFC. My questions were never really answered properly and i was gettingbored. Another girl mentioned SW and i came to check it out. As soon as I saw AW mentioned and girls from the UK were here I joined up right away. I'm SO glad i found this place! :)

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I joined SW back in 2007 when I wanted to find a good club to work at in LA.
In March, I thought about going back to dancing and I wanted to travel somewhere to do it for some extra cash. I happened to look in the OW section and read about camming.
I wish I would have learned about it 10 years ago. :)

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
Some other cam forum site that I completely forgot the name of.

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
one day i just decided that camming could be an option, and was googling the hell out of it. An answer from yahooanswers led me here, and I was like sweet. Lurked, made an account, deleted the account out of paranoia, and now I'm back with a new name having nothing to do with my cam name lol.

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
I was interested in becoming a dancer back in 2007, and I found some girl on yelp who left a review at a club I wanted to work at, saying she was a dancer there. I sent her a message and asked her how to do it, and she told me what to do. She also gave me the link to this forum and told me to read it. I lurked for awhile before I posted. Then, I decided to get into camming when I looked in the Other Work section (pre-Camming Connection).

Re: How did you find StripperWeb? (for camming)
i think i joined stripperweb when i was 17ish and looking to be a stripper. cant remember the exact year (omg i feel fucking old now). Waited til i was 18 and bam, went on one hell of a world wind of a ride for 3 years stripping. Started getting bored with that and had a regular at the club i danced at tell me how he owned a webcam studio in the philippines and is trying to open up a studio in the states where i can work for him and he can set it all up and everything. I guess i started to browse the Other Work forum and saw a few girls doing it. At the time the trend was indie so we were all going indie...its funny how trends change. Im glad you made this thread, makes you think back lol and as much as everyone on here fucking hates each other and cant wait to bite off each others heads, some how us crazy ladies have gotten it together and formed a group where we have all earned a living just from the words and advice from each other. I give a lot of thanks to the camgirls who are here and were here for before me that have taught me this hustle. our lives are bad ass =)
