Laurenrae just published 2 nice ones:
I first looked into camming when I heard a news item about a woman who had been jailed for claiming benefits whilst earning approx £18,000 a year as a camgirl...so sometimes, the negative news has a positive result...well, for me anyway!
I have two opinions on this. It's nice to see the mainstream public viewing us in a more positive light and seeing the practicalities of what we do but on the flip side of that coin I wonder if we are going to be over saturated with models as a result.
Like: "This is a safe alternative to becoming an escort or an adult model. There's total anonymity. Of course, the operators don't use their real names. "
Dislike: As with nursing (and most female dominated industries) during the economic downturn, as someone rises there's bound to be someone else who gets hurt. Many states no longer hire LPN's because of the large influx of RN's returning to the health field. I was still on a camming hiatus in 2008 - 2009 when the US was hit the hardest and first but I hear camming was not fun for many women as there were more girls than there were boys, and what boys there were didn't have as much cash to play with.
I believe that will happen. However I don't think many will stay on as cam girls unless they have literally no income coming in at all, or if they find this forum and do their research.
Its exactly what happened with stripping. More mainstream = way more girls. More mainstream + recession + time = potential disaster $$wise for all cam models. It is definitely a big reason why a lot of girls have left stripping for good.
I just think you should save every penny you make and spend sparingly. You never know if this industry will become too difficult or not one day.
" kind of like sisters in the way that we will argue and fight and bitchslap amongst ourselves. But the moment someone else tries to take a swing at us we are a pretty united front for the most part. Because no one can say bad things about your sisters but you"
I love this quote! I think its pretty accurate as well...These are lovely articles.
Although - I do wish that articles would cover the money aspect a little more accurately. I think that many people would read these and think - OMG $30,000 a month!! I should do that!! And then the industry becomes over crowded with women and the money goes down. I think that most people should be made aware that if you are camming part time, say 8-10hrs per week, you are going to be making maybe $1000 or so a month. The money can be great, but is so often exaggerated!!
