How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
How Much Money can I/You make as a Camgirl?
Attachment 29715
So you want to know how much money you will make as a “Camgirl”? The answer is no one knows but “YOU” and “YOU” won’t know until you “WORK!” There is no way to know if you will sell like hot cakes OR struggle to make ends meet as someone working for minimum wage to make ends meet. It happens. Maybe you will find yourself in the middle making about an average nice check enough to get by – pay bills and then some. But the thing is no one can tell you that you are going to make this much doing it since you may make less or more than what they quoted you and then what they said is irrelevant. Your best bet is to be PROACTIVE about this job if you really want to do it! Just do it and WORK! In order for you to know how much you will make, you will need to work a consistent and regular schedule for about 2-4 weeks to see your average. The more you work, the more you will figure out your true average and plus your average will go up as you gain more regulars from working too.
This is the Internet where men from all over the world like all types of women so even if you are not the mainstream definition of beauty, sexy, in shape, etc…That means nothing online in the real world of cam! Yes, mainstream looks probably will do best but again not having a mainstream look does not mean you won’t make money either. If you work enough - and when I say enough I mean work this like a regular job that you would have outside the home, traditional brick and mortar job you go to 5days a week for 8hours a day- then you will make money. Give or Take some can make a high enough hourly average to work part-time hours 4hours/day 5days a week and still earn fulltime income and some may need to work overtime 8hours+/days 5or more days a week to earn a fulltime income. You won’t know until you actually get on cam and work, where you fall into.
If you are trying to way out the risk of cam and seeing if the money is worth it then “Yes, it can be worth it and No, it may not be worth it”… depends on what amount of money is worth the risk of not wanting to be exposed in the adult field. You can make a hell of a lot of money or you can make just enough to get by or you can be struggling still working cam. I always feel like if the risk is going to be too devastating to take or detrimental to your well being “IF” you get found out I just would not do it. Some say it is not a matter of will you be found out but when. Plus everyone who finds you may not even tell you. If it would mess up your dream job in the future or the career you like/have now and you have been working that job for years and it is secure and you plan to stay in it for the long haul then don’t do it but that is ONLY my little opinion in this article.
Now finally to the real question at hand…”How much can I make as a Camgirl?” And the Ultimate answer is “You will make nothing…… a little……..a lot………..damn, you’re freaking Rich&Wealthy!” LOL Seriously, you will make and can make any range of this depending on so many factors like;
1. Physical Appearance * Just look good portraying the niche or character you are wanting to play out*
2. Personality* Be good at acting your character you are wanting to play out or Be Yourself but Entertaining and Interesting*
3. Performance * Energy*Fun*Spontaneous*Fresh* Just put on a Great show!
4.Props * Toys, Costumes, Clothes, Etc
5.Promotions * Marketing and Advertising*
6. Price * Do what works for you and do not put your self worth on a price! Do what is best for Business!
Truth be told you could NOT do any of those things and go online with a basic computer, decent webcam, and good enough internet AND type the whole time with no sound, showing no face and waiting for shows but if you are on long enough…You will still make money however how much is the QUESTION but again you where asking that anyway and like before I/We still won’t know..LOL
The only thing you can control is how much you work. Especially until you find your own average income for yourself. You cannot control if you will make money every hour on the hour, or be in private every minute when you are online, or make big money every day from cam but you can control how much and how often you work to get your money! Sometimes the hours working are just as lucrative as the money made. I find they go hand in hand a lot. You may NOT start earning a great or banking income until you work enough hours.
Camgirl hourly averages can range from $0, $5, $10, $20, $40, $60, $100+ an hour. You could earn $0, $50, $100, $200, $300, $500+/day. You could make $0, $300, $500, $1,000, or $2500+/week and you could make $0, $2,000, $3,000, $6000, or $10,000+/month but no one knows how much or what you will make but you and you will not know it until YOU WORK! And yes, it really does range from all those numbers. LOL I am guessing though that only a certain percent of camgirls are hitting $10gs or more a month from cam alone. What that percent is I do not know. Personally, I would (am/did) look for other hustles to compliment it so I could make $10gs+ just to avoid burnout. Just my .02.
Plus though you can after awhile predict your average the more you work, there is and are still inconsistencies with cam income. It is not always consecutive which is where long hours come in to play. You may earn $10 in one hour and then nothing the 2nd hour, then maybe $100 the 3rd hour, and then $50 for the whole total of 3hours, and then $100 the 7th hour and maybe $5 the 8th hour and so forth…which means for 8hours that would be about $265 for 8hours on this given day…but it can be very inconsistent and not consecutive on how much you will make so the bigger picture is to work as much as you can….It could possibly take doubled the hours to make the same thing the next day. Or it could take you all day and night to make $100 for the next 3 days. True Story. You just have to try it out for yourself. Though again after while you will have and find your average which means you will know that is you work this day so many hours you will make about this amount.
But the Answer is to WORK and in camming, Trial and Error is not bad but a learning experience, your own work experience is what will make you money!
Work Smart, Hustle Hard, Get Money Ladies!

I'm not going to lie when i first read the title of this thread i was like, "not one of these again." :banghead:
Thankfully this was a GREAT thread regarding those whom are so curious about how much they can make camming. There's really nothing I can add since you covered it all beautifully; so thank you Hustlette for this great thread!

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
The sky is the limit...the more time/dedication you put in the more you will make. It's as simple as that.

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
When I get 'girls' interested in to become a webcam girl their first asap question is 'how much im gona earn' LOL I try to explain to them how this work, and their second question is 'yeah but...how much do you earn? so I have an idea of how much I could earn' I mean get realllllllllllllllllll...what works for me wont work for you, what works for you wont for me...this is hilarious, to many promotion online from studio with a BIG slogan 'MAKE 5,000 or more per WEEK' so all this girls are trying to find out if their dream 5,000 per week is real before become a camgirl.
Good Thread, should be sticky and I should forward to ALL the girls interest in do cam, since that's their first question 'how much I will earn' .

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
People need to see this as a sales job working entirely on commission, because that's what it is. I don't think anyone should go into the sex industry hoping for a set, reliable income because it's so unpredictable and no longer as lucrative as it once was.

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
Great thread! It's understandable that everyone wants to know a job's earning potential before starting it but it's exactly like you said: nobody knows how much one particular person can earn. It's sales job, as Charlotte said - with great potentials but no promises, no minimum earnings to rely on. Nothing wrong with starting the job with the hope that you'll be the next person earning $5 000 per week without any difficulties, but maybe you'll only earn $500 or $100 a week. You can always strive to be better, earn more but you won't know how much you'll earn until you try it for yourself.
Sex work has this reputation that everyone can get rich quick working here, without really working. Studios and affiliate marketers tend to rely on this fact and make really ridiculous claims. I just got an email stating that if I join the *I guess studio, but didn't open the link* I'll earn $30 000 per DAY! I'm guessing that this was an affiliate marketer who has no idea about the $, just knows that $30 000 is good money:) OK, no one will fall for that (I hope), but it speaks volumes about how sex work's earning potential is percieved.

OMG!!!! not even the BEST TOPMODELS out there earn 30,000 per day (this guy, girl, company, whatever is CRAZY!) if I get an email like that I deleted asap, since NOBODY earn that per day, not even the most 'hottie' girl on cam out there with the 100/100 top slender cute body, blond hair and boobs the size of 2 balloons...LOL. In a very extremely RARE case, it could happen that maybe someday (NOT DAILY) a webcam girl with a whale regular, this regular comes and tip this girl 12,000 dollars (I saw that once, but ONLY ONCE on MFC)...to many empty promises here to make girls to sign up under them and work for them. Is even hard and i mean HARD to make 1,000 per week (unless you're a topmodel with lots of whale regulars) the thing is hard, I know too few girls earning 1,000 daily (VERY FEW) so studios and companies should stop making fake promises...because a new girl sees the slogan (make 5,000 per week or make 2,000 daily) she joins the studio or agent thinking this is easy job and true..and after like a few hours of camming she saw that her balance is under $100 (after a few hours) and she then BANG gets the reality and disappointing of knowing reality IS HARD WORK not easy money.

I know, right? LOL, that's all I have to say:D And they went on: just imagine, $30 000 per day, how much is that in a month, in a year! They must be crazy, or they know nothing about the $'s value and they're too lazy and/or stupid to look it up...? I don't know.
Yay for millionaire camgirls:D

I do wish girls would start viewing this as a JOB, rather than "a way to make some money of my own because daddykins cut off my spending allowance".

Yeah, I had saw girls on cam without the need to really do it, all because 'momy and daddy didn't give me money to buy the crazy new guess wallet out there' ...this is a JOB not a get rich fast thing, there are young girls I know doing webcam without the REAL need to do it, since they live with their parents, have food, parents PAID ALL for them, and they're just into cam because they want the new pair of shoes from Gucci....I mean cmon come on, this is hard work not a part time easy job to buy your gucci shoes when you have everything you need (food, medicine, all bills payed, etc) on your home from your parents.

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
I can't help but want to smack those girls. Those of us that do this seriously have at least some need to. We have to work hours we don't want to. We have to motivate ourselves to stay on cam. We have to haul ass.
They, on the other hand, think "Oh, well I need 400$ for that new bag." And they'll ninjalog the second they hit that goal, never to return (at least, not until something else catches their eye). Compare that to the poor girl that every session thinks "Oh shoot! Rent, cable, internet, and hydro are all falling on the same due date this month!! Dailypay don't fail me now!"

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
I think the reason so many girls come to forums and ask "How much will/can I make?" is because most of use held down normal, vanilla jobs that paid us hourly or by salary. It's probably difficult for most people to break out of their norm and think "I'm not set to a specific number?" Whenever accepting or looking for a normal job the first question that's always asked is "How much am I going to earn?" It must be very scary for a lot of women to break out of that security net (even if it's only temporary) and begin something that has absolutely *no* guarantee of anything. Just my theory.

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
yeah it's true, I dont want to judge or blame anyone for doing webcaming but, if you don't have needs to do it and I mean real needs (not that of buy a new bag or shoes) dont do it, this is a real job not a fancy cute easy money asap stuff. I knew a webcam girl, who cams because she wants to buy new clothes pfffffffffff...her mom was a women with lots of $$$$$$$$$$$ she has a car (her mom bought it for her), she was on collegue (her mom paids it), she has food at home, her mom paids all the bills...but...she does webcaming >.< she even admit on another forum, I don't need to do this since I have everything at home I dont need to paid nothing and etc...but...I do it... seriously, the business is no longer lucrative thanks tor girls like this one, who also charge at low rate since their needs is to buy a louis voutton bag at $400 dollars...well, they offer all for free and their pvt are extremely cheap, so the business had become down for this. On the other hand, there are girls with REAL needs (single mom with kids, girls with a mother sick who needs medicine, girls who needs to paid bills, food, etc) so is understandable to this women to join webcaming, is not that WE LOVE TO DO THIS, because honestly I DON'T LOVE TO CAM but I have to paid bills, food, electricity and rent, and unfortunately in my country salary are very very small (like $300 - $500 dollars per month) so even if life is cheaper than US or UK that salary isn't much for all the needs I have....

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
I'm not sure why the random hate for girls who are rich but who cam. I come from a poor background and I'd love to be rich and pampered too, but that doesn't mean that girls who don't need to cam shouldn't cam. If they want to log in once in awhile to buy designer hand lotion made from the finest unicorn pancreas, good for them. Honestly, if I won lotto 6/49 tomorrow I'd prob still do fetish modelling/cam very rarely for the attention and the lulz.

Is not hate Charlotteslut, but if a girl really needs money to buy a $400 bag or shoes, they can easaly do it working a part time regular job and not camming. If tomorrow I earn the loto, I stop doing webcam and maybe most of cam girls will do the same too, now...on very few cases there are people who really will continue doing webcam if they finally get established somehow....is just that if you have everything why should you do webcam? because those girls think this is an easy, fast money job that's why, and is not...is not cute, is not easy and is hard just like any regular job is.

It's not so much the girls that don't need to cam that annoy me. It's the ones that throw it in our faces and don't treat the job with any respect.
"Haha you need to do this, I'm only on till I make enough for ____."
or
"I'm not like these other sluts, I would never DREAM of doing this for a LIVING"
^---- I have actually heard that one. I lol'd.

When I worked in the corporate world there were plenty of trust fund babies and bored housewives with jobs they didn't need. Oh and my first job in the adult industry was because my dad cut my spending, now it's my career. Just saying you never know. We all get here for different reasons and have different financial needs. There are girls here for whom this a side gig or a means to an end. I find that very few people coming into the industry regardless of the reason view it as a job. You live you learn.

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
Rina what you're sayin is a bit different, if for some reason parents cut all money to their child (including food, medicine, or anything) to 'force' the child to get a job (bad way of doing it..but some parents think is the best way) if that child doesn't get any regular job fast, that child is gona enter in the first thing that leave money to him 'adult industry'. In my case my dad cut ALL and I mean ALL from me, no food, no clothes, no nothing...and I went to the street alone without $$$ on, so I do have REAL need for webcaming since regular jobs only paids at most like $600 per month, and rent is like $200, food will be like $300 per month, and who can live like this??? (And I'm not counting bills or if I get sick and need to buy medicine), if I did have a normal life I mean a home, food, everything I need and I just want money to buy a vogue bag I won't do webcam to get it, I will go to a regular job to get it...cause for me, $400 bag doesn't worth putting myself naked on cam and probably with the risk of getting recorded and uploaded on some porn tube site....
Is sad, because is like Decalyn said, these 'babies' girls without real needs for cam, keep sayin I'm not a bitch the other's are, I'm only here for buy a bag of chocolate, etc, etc...and at the end, if we, the girls with real needs that take this seriously are sluts in the eyes of these babies girls, they are sluts too because sweetie, we're doing the SAME THING getting naked on cam and masturbating, it doesn't matter if you do it per 2 weeks and I do it for 4 years...the matter is, we did the same thing.

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
And then you get the "babies" (as Lovely put it) who think that camming for a few weeks won't bite them in the ass later in life.
Like I said, it's not so much WHY they cam, but their attitude towards it. I'm grouping them into a stereotype, which I prolly shouldn't do, but at least I understand that there are exceptions to every stereotype.

I think that camming biting you in the ass is not as big of a thing as people tend to think...the irs for ex doesn't care what you do just as long as they get their cut, you pay ur taxes ur labeled self employeed. It's up to you if you want to tell people what you do.

I don't know if it will bite or not their asses, but even if we dont tell to people what we do for living (webcaming) to avoid people telling us we're sluts or we are humillating and not respecting ourself...is bad, if the 'babies' girls cam even for 1 week and call sluts to the other cam girls that make this for a living, cause even if a girl only cam 1 single day, she's doing the same thing as the others 'sluts' so judge the rest of the girls is not nice. And yes webcam can bite asses since even if we try hard to avoid people getting to know what we're doing, plenty of guys are recording our private shows and uploading or selling to porn sites and the day when you don't even think it will happen, one of your real life relative or friend visit a porn site and saw you all naked rocking around with a dildo and having an orgasm in a full video....so, the 'babies' girl should think about this, does it worth webcaming (with the risk of been recorded) for some new shoes? or new bag???? If my position was only a pair of new shoes or bag I would definetely wouldn't cam I would get a regular job for the danm shoes, specially if at home I have everything I need for free (food, internet, all bills payed, etc).

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
In fact today on a token website I'm at (not xpeeps) I saw 2 scenarios, to point out more what Decalyn said:
There was a women, asking for 1000 tks goal, but she was already naked in free chat doing a full cum show (very hardcore and extreme, fist, double dildo, baseball bat, smoking with her pussy, etc) her room has like 800+ freeloaders demanding like hell...she continues desperately with her show, even if after like 1 hour she has only 30 tks on her bucket countdown of 1000 tks...and one moderator of her room asking to guys to tip her, because her mother was very sick and she really needs the money...obviously nobody tip (why paid if we're getting all for free right?).
In the same site, there was another girl (very young her face looks like 18 or 19) she was very pretty and her face looks like Jenna Jameson, she was all covered of clothes and was sayin constantly "I'm non nude model, I'm not a slut like the others so ...you won't see nothing from me, I'm pretty, I'm cute, I'm funny and I treat guys well' and guess what? she was asking for 14000 tks goal ($700 dollars yes) for what?? for nothing, just because she's cute enough and think this is easy and fast money you can earn in 1 day to probably buy the new Louis Vuotton bag...(I'm glad that after 2 hours, in her goal she only have 90 tks tipped) this danm girl surely doesn't know what's real life out there is, and how danm hard is to earn $1 single buck in a REAL LIFE JOB because mom and dad give her all, but mom and dad don't give her $700 bucks to probably buy a danm bag so she can show it to her friends...and yeap...she was calling sluts other girls of the site because they get naked for tokens, and she was sayin she's pretty enough to earn that money without any nudity....
Go figure.

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
Well.... did she earn it?
-
Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
I recently enter her room now....nope...she hasn't earn it (95 tks of 14000 goal) looks like someone tip her 5 tokens after 1 hour??? anyway....14,000 tks is crazy, specially if you don't even show breast neither in pvt, she puts on her BIO she doesn't show nothing even in pvt, that she only do fetish (and not all fetish if it include any nudity even a thong she wont do it) and that if someone wants to PM her, first tip her 40 tks or she wont read it.
The other 'extreme' girl doing a full show, she's at 100 tks of 1000 goal.

Re: How Much Money Can I/You make as a Camigirl?
Then I don't know why there should be such concern or disdain for it. If she's acting this way and not earning any money then she'll probably just leave and it's no loss to anyone. If they're not making money then they'll pout and then leave. If they are making money then they probably found a niche that works for them. All guys are different and like different things, the spoiled princess/brat happens to be a pretty popular one.
If it's the fact that these girls don't *have* to cam (whether it be their parents pay their bills or whatever) then let me ask you this: How many people *HAVE* to cam in this thread? How many people have the ability to get outside jobs if they actually chose to? Like, if you really went out there and put in resumes how many could possibly land a job that paid your bills? No one is forcing girls to cam, it's a valid choice done by all. Me? The only reason I "have" to cam is because I'm on a visitor's visa in another country and it's my only valid option. But really, if I chose to, I could make latex clothing and work that way as well. If I were back in the states I could easily do something else. But I chose not to because yeah, once you're good at camming it can come easily.
And yeah, some girls might have a sour attitude about what they do or even towards us in the industry; but really how does it affect any of us in the long run? Why should we be putting our thoughts and energy into girls who think like that? Really the only girls I see affecting me are the ones who do everything for free. Hell, the spoiled brats are actually do me a favor by not being able to keep a large percentage of men in their rooms.
