Some tips I'd like to share that have helped me make more money...
Hello fellow cam girls.
I am a cam girl for Naked.com. I understand it's easy to dismiss my post considering my low post count on this site... but rest assured I'm not a newb to message boards. Especially not to camming. I just hardly ever post on here, however I do read the posts. Some of these tips may make you blush, but I assure and promise you, that after 3 years of camming, these are the few things I have learned and that have helped me greatly. I am one of those OCD girls who document statistics, numbers, and things I do to help me each time. I have only posted a few times on here, but the last post was a break down on money goals. I'll include that here too. Hope you enjoy them, and maybe even add your own to this thread. Take care!!
- Looking into the camera - When I browse through other girls' webcams, I notice if the look into the camera, for period of 2-3 seconds, you can almost feel their presence. I started doing this maybe every 15 minutes... look directly into the camera and smile. Also in private, when I talk, I always look directly into the camera. I suppose it makes them feel I am connected to them in a way. Since I have done this in privates, my privates last approx 8-30 minutes longer each time.
- Powder the pooch! -This may make you laugh or giggle, but applying LIGHT foundation and a brush of baby powder to my female area, makes it look like a god damn perfect vagina on cam! Let's face it, not everyone has perfect coloration or maybe your labia is a bit larger than others, and doesn't look perfect on cam... however... light foundation (cover up also works) plus a tiny bit of baby powder makes it look light colored, even and beautiful. This also gets a lot of compliments (I never really got actual compliments before I started doing this) and also makes for more tips and longer privatess
- Colored contacts - While my brown eyes are beautiful, the camera picks up on my bright blue contacts. To get contacts for free, go to your local eye doctor and tell him you are interested in getting prescription colored contacts. Even if you don't have eye insurance, they will send you home with ANY COLORS YOU WANT.. FREE! These free trial contacts last about 3 months if you clean them daily, and always change the solution. Also I get tons of compliments on my "beautiful ocean blue eyes". Haha ... whatever you say buddy. ;D;D
- Proper lighting- I went to wal-mart and bought 3 desk lights. I place one on my background, (I spin the light AWAY from the wall.) I place two on me and spin ONE away from me, allowing the light to hit the wall away from me. I place one TOWARD me and tape a sheet of FILLER PAPER to soften the light. This creates near-perfect lighting.
- I create a beautiful looking "set" -When I view some girls cams, I'm disgusting at what I sometimes see. Trash, clothes in bins, cups, MEDICINE (really girlfriend, you're gonna let everyone know you might be crazy?), dogs, cats, and I even heard a BABY CRYING once. I like to create a sexy SET. I always make sure my linen in clean, my pillows have covers, maybe even a candle, or flowers. If my background is pleasing, it makes me look all the better. You're inviting hundreds of PAYING costumers into your bedroom, pick up your underwear.
- I always make sure my personality shines through and that I smile often -I try to answer all questions, ask questions and engage in friendly conversation the ENTIRE way. I never sit idle, I never just sit there and stare, I'm NEVER on my phone and I never leave my camera unattended. If a guy enters my room, and I'm sitting like a log. Guess what he's gonna do? Next Girl!
- I don't log on multiple sites at once -I know some girls may disagree, but the customer knows if you're on multiple sites. They want attention on them. They can hear you talking to users that arn't even in that room. There could be a high roller in one room, and if I ignore him as I'm paying attention to others, he might leave. I do go on different sites but not at the same time.
- Music - I like music, and every girl has different music. Some music can actually turn men off. This isn't me saying this, but this is other guys saying they get turned off other girls music with another language or hard metal or rap. I like to play smooth jazz. Not only is it fluid and easy to listen to.... it kind of just flows into the next song and you can't distinct one song from the other. But the whole mood in my cam room is even and sexy!!!
- I never show anything for free. EVER! - This one goes without saying. I don't even do "a show at the goal". If you wanna see my goodies, you will pay top dollar. If you act like a prize, guys will treat you that way. If you are swinging your cat around and breaking out the titties... nobody will ever pay to see them. They already ARE seeing them. For free. And then they will click next. Create an illusion of mystery in both real life, and on cam.
- Decide how much you want to make. - If I want to make $4000 a month, I do simple math to make easy working/daily goals for myself.
$4000 a month = $1,000 per week. I want 3 days off per week, So this means $1000/4 = $250.
250 x 4 = 1000. 1000 x 4 = 4000.
This takes stress of you, and its full proof. - DO NOT BEG. YOU ARE NOT A DOG. - Nothing is worse than this. Nothing. When I see girls asking for men to take them private or tip them, I cringe. I even saw a girl flat out insulting them men once. "Don't you guys make money? FUCKING TIP MEEE!" Dear lord jesus. I wanted to scream. Just be your hot naked self: If you beg, guys will literally look at you like I looked at that girl.
- Offer incentives for your wishlist -When I first started, I had a wishlist up.. and nobody bought anything. Then about 1 year in, I changed it up. I posted on my page that if you bought a gift for me, you got that many minutes FREE with me on skype. $15 dollar gift = 15 minutes. And to this day I have received over 34 amazing gifts... the highest one being a flat screen TV and the smallest being a waffle maker. Some girls may not want to Skype, and I understand that.. but if you like presents this is a very good way to get them. And you're in free chat for free anyway.. why not get gifts out of it.
- Do your makeup NOT in front of the mirror, but in front of the cam! This is a BIG one. I would do my makeup in front of the mirror, get on cam, and be like - WTF? So, I started doing my makeup in front of my cam! Cam makeup is very different than mirror makeup. This cuts on time of re-appyling and I can tailor my face and hair to be cam perfect.
If these tips help just one girl, I'll be very happy. Sometimes it's hard to give advice to cam girls. Sometimes I get "bitch - why you trying to tell me what to DO?" hahaha. But believe it or not, some girls really do wanna share their tips to make money.... cam girls should stick together.. not work against each other. Hope you all boost your holiday income by using these tips.
Merry Christmas :)
Anna, 24 year old cam girl on Naked.com

I've seen this before on the site, but it's a great reminder! I'm a bit anal about my background! Nothing is more distracting than a mess!

Re: Some tips I'd like to share that have helped me make more money...
Nr 10 makes me nervous. I don't like calculations like that. In the beggining I thought I did, but then... meh.. If I had a slower period I immediately started doing the math, like zomg I'm so behind my target, I'll have to make even more and more daily or I will never reach it.. I will never reach it.. Omg this is too much, the difference is just growing... oh noooo... I should make 250 + xyz tonight but hell I couldn't even make the 250 in 4 days.... It's too much. I fail... I just can't... and I just gave up the whole shit grabbed some food and QQed on the couch for days about me failing so hard. It works for someone, but it can be too much stress for some others. :)
+ my cats make appearances on cam, and they are always commented in a positive way. However some sites do not tolerate animals on cam. But I never met a custie who had a problem with my cats. Some guys just ignore them, but often it's a chit-chat topic, they usually ask how my cats are doing if they cannot see them yadayada

Absolutely great advice! ESPECIALLY looking at the camera tip! Guys don't want to be reminded you're on camera, but actually in front of them giving more realistic experience.

Re: Some tips I'd like to share that have helped me make more money...
ReginaGeorge those are awesome tips.
I'm sooo happy to see another naked.com host who doesn't do tip shows! I don't either and I hate the tipping mentality that is on Naked (and I wish they would let me disable that damn tip goal).
BTW I was told by Naked that I can not play music at all and that I would be in danger of being banned if I do. (maybe they aren't that strict but that's what I was told).
I'm curious how you handle the idiots who tip first and then ask you to show something? They just assume everyone shows pussy and tits in free chat (I only offer privates). I even tried putting something in my topic but it seemed to make them even more abusive.

I had a basic on MFC last night telling me "If you pull your boobs out you'll make more money no one will tip you if you aren't topless at least. All the other girls do it." and I just said, "Well then go to their rooms. I'm not doing it." -_-

I always tell them my tits are shy and they need some encouraging gold to peek out for a while.

I can assure you that no camgirl worth her grain of salt would ever dismiss great advice just because it came attached to someone with a low post count. ;)
Thanks so much for sharing your tips with us.

Re: Some tips I'd like to share that have helped me make more money...
Awesome tips! I would just be careful with "skype for amazon" gifts. There are some sites that do not allow it. For example, I asked my webmaster today if I could paste my wishlist on my cam profile and he said it was cool so as long as I didn't steal any traffic lol. Obviously there are some people who would then just offering a better paying option through skype. I do like the idea though as an incentive. You could also do a "tier" incentive with them. Gifts under $20 gets them a free pic or personalized sexy sign, gifts under $50 ($30-49) gets them a 10 min show or video, $50-100 get them a 20 min show, $100+ gets them a 30 min show. That way, the free cam shows would be at a rate of $3.00+ per "rounded amount" does that make any sense? Basically, most of us have or are trying to raise our rates. So if everyone is charging around $3.00+, then they would still be getting their shows worth as if they were actually performing for money. I hope I didn't confuzzle anyone lol. My adderall is slowing down :)

Re: Some tips I'd like to share that have helped me make more money...
Reading tips is always useful for me. Even if it's something I already know, I find it really motivating to re-read it. I've also done a goal chart much like yours in terms of how much I need to make per day, down to my average hourly and how much time in "private" and "exclusive" I'd have to average a day to hit my goals. It really helps put things in perspective and realize how my goals really aren't that far off.

Re: Some tips I'd like to share that have helped me make more money...
What kind of brush would you use to powder the pouch? I'm kinda new with makeup as I really only put on make up to cam and I know theres like 10000 different types of makeup brushes. lol

Re: Some tips I'd like to share that have helped me make more money...
A little bit of pink creme blush on the pooch's in-between is also often appreciated. Just be careful to keep all make-up external. I use fingers to apply foundation and a designated regular blush brush for the powder. Also, Ben Nye theatrical make-up is amazingly non-transfer if you put it on light enough and powder liberally. Keeps the inside of those white panties from turning skin colored. I use it for butt pimples.

Re: Some tips I'd like to share that have helped me make more money...
I'm going to do my makeup in from of my cam before I log on next. Great tip! I put it on in the mirror thinking I look great then get in front of the cam and it looks like I've done nothing, so I end up reapplying anyway :-/
