Tips and Tricks for a n00b?
Ohai!
I'm sure there is probably already a thread about this, my apologies to anyone who gets annoyed by a repeat.
I have recently started camming from home. I have no experience doing this kind of thing (except for a few private "friends"). I'm generally used to being told what I should do when camming for someone privately, but I need some tips and tricks about doing it for $. How to lure customers to private chats, keeping their attention, getting the fun going, etc.
I'm a BBW and a bit insecure with myself on occasion. I'm making the assumption that anyone who views my cam is interested in the type of girl I am.
Any tips or ticks for a n00b?
Thanks so much for your time (=
(Should probably mention I'm doing this through Streamate.)

There is a lot you can find here just by searching! :) I found these just by searching at the top for 'bbw cam'

Good luck to you Silly! :)
Re: Tips and Tricks for a n00b?
Thank you (:
Those posts are mostly about how much you can make doing this though- I'm looking more for tips about getting it started, luring private customers, what to do when I have them, etc.
I know "don't look bored!" is a big one, which I'm great at doing (: but I need more tips than just that!!
Re: Tips and Tricks for a n00b?
So could things like putting the cam in the shower while I bathe, doing my yoga, tidying my apartment, gaming, just being an all-around dork nude (or close to nude) work to my benefit?
Re: Tips and Tricks for a n00b?
sometimes they can. but most customers are so needy!
if u seem to ignore 1 and he says " shes ignoring us".. other might be like"... oh ya, ur right she does!" and leave...
Re: Tips and Tricks for a n00b?
Ahhh gotcha. so possibly those types of things would be better left for a private chat if the guy is interested
Re: Tips and Tricks for a n00b?
Also, when using tools like "Many Cam" to add a watermark for when you're recorded to be used for promotional purposes, how do you get it to actually show when you start your show (specifically through Streamate).

For the first few, try filming those actions rather than streaming them live. I'm starting to learn the joys of selling clips. xD

You'll get banned if you do that. So... don't.

RE: what to do in a private: Most of the time you will be masturbating or faking masturbating, unless you want to do nude only shows, or something fetish based.
IME, guys love dorky/nerdy girls that interact with them. The key to getting a good customer base is to be entertaining yet sexy. Guys do want someone they can talk to and relate to, otherwise they would just jack it to pronz.

I've been emailing back and forth with the lady I set my account with Streamate up with and she said it's a good idea (using the Manycam to have my model profile link on in case of being recorded), she just wasn't sure how exactly it's done so told me to ask around with people who do it.

That is... odd. Is this lady someone you contacted through SM's support email? Because multiple girls on here have gotten the banhammer for watermarking their streams (since SM records your shows for promotional use).
Re: Tips and Tricks for a n00b?
Manycam can mess up your streaming. I highly suggest NOT using it. It isn't worth it.
I read this site for a solid month before I posted anything.
Doing research is apart of any job preparation. Highly suggest you read all kinds of threads here to see what you can learn.
Then there is the thing called learning from experience.
Sounds like you are signing up for a studio & not Directly with Streamate.
Also try reading your contract, every single word of it to find out what isn't allowed instead of taking strangers words of advice off the web for it.
Why is it so many want to skip business basics? Is what I wonder?
Smooches,

Yes. She's the same person who replies to all of my emails via their support address
Re: Tips and Tricks for a n00b?
Any thread about what to do in privates and how to "lure" guys in will help, it doesn't matter if you are a BBW or not, it's all basically the same. Try not to stick to BBW specific threads. :)
