Re: I started camming last night and I just dont get it:( please help!!
I'm not trying to be snarky but you need to read waaaay more on here.There are literally HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of threads about how to up your cam-game,what you could be doing wrong,checklists to ensure you're doing all the basics RIGHT (such as lighting etc) - I mean,the list goes on and on.
At the top of Camming Connection are threads that are called "stickies", they are super important and anyone new to this forum should read these first - the ENTIRE way through.
Start with those,look at the bottom of each one,there will be 5 related threads that it suggests for you,I'd read those as well.
You need to troubleshoot-keep in mind no one will just tell you how to make money and since we arent in your room,we dont know what you're doing wrong or why you're not banking anyways so this is an extremely personal mission that any camgirl not pulling in $$ has to go on by themselves..Also,it was your first night and you only logged in an hour-two big reasons why you werent raking in the cash rt off the bat.

Watch other models briefly to see how they work their room.. Everyone has a different way of getting guys to go private or tip. Don't copy another girl, just use it as basic inspiration. If you are shy, maybe play that up.. there's a shy girl fetish, and even a category on some sites. Develop your look/persona as much as possible and be consistent in how you respond to freeloaders.
I have no experience with webcams.com so I don't know if it's just the site, you, or both.
Another thing, you can likely transfer to daily pay on streamate, which is a studio, but will pay you daily and takes only 5%, so you get 30%. I believe you can go to them before the waiting period is up.
This thread will probably be of use to you.

Re: I started camming last night and I just dont get it:( please help!!
Hi there!
First of all... dint get dissapointed because you had a bad start, or a bad night. Keep working hard!!! Possitive attitude and always looking happy and smilling. Dont miss your patience. This work is hard. You have to try different sites, different times of the day, different looks or outfits, etc. That you can have a clue watching other girls. At first that you dont have regulars you have to build a base of them. How? talking in free chat with them, been nice and inviting!! Always tease tease tease, but NEVER EVER show anything for free NEVER!!! This is your job, your business so you have to respect it and other girls that do this, that of course hate girls who are showing things for free.
Secondly, read research and read! Create an strategy to earn money. So thats why its important trying everything!!! It will take a couple of weeks for you to feel comfortable in front of the cam and act like an experience model. That takes time, so remeber little by little.
Then you can sign in for 2 or 3 different sites and do maybe 2 at same time or at different times a day. Thats very useful, because if there is one with low traffic you can try the others.
Never get dissapointed. Its hard to start sometimes, but you can do it! Believe it and it will happen
Good Luck!!!

Re: I started camming last night and I just dont get it:( please help!!
first night is ok not to make money. I am not familiar with webcams.com.
you need to take time and learn the camming basics, begging is one of them ,
it is not easy money.
they will try to get what they can for free.
set your boundaries and do not let them take advantage of you.
you will grow out being shy, remember YOU CONTROL YOUR ROOM.
All of us deal with this type of attitude from customers
with time and experience you will earn how to deal with them in a way you find comfy

Re: I started camming last night and I just dont get it:( please help!!
You are new = you're a novelty so take advantage of that before it wears off! Try to control your thoughts because when you're stress out, it will show on cam and anxiety is not sexy. Put on some good music, watch your favorite porn on mute, be engaging and be sure to READ, READ AND READ on here!

Re: I started camming last night and I just dont get it:( please help!!
There's nothing like the first times camming. It seems like so much. Then you get used to it & everything is second nature. Lol.
I remember guys were tipping me & I would just sit there. And they're like "flash". And I'm like "no, only in private! You're trying to get me fired!" I didn't have toys. I just rubbed boobs & showed my booty a lot. I wouldn't talk in free only type. Guys would be like "talk" and I'm like "no, saving my voice for private!" I didn't know what the hell was going on but it was great!
-
Re: I started camming last night and I just dont get it:( please help!!
I would suggest reading the other forums like newbies, Hustle Hut, etc. There's so much information that will help you get a persona, get privates, and work your niche! Is it a lot of reading? Hell yeah but it's worth it!
I was on webcams.com and I personally thought it was slow as hell. I tried almost every website and some were hellish. I thought it was just me, too. But you have to try each site to see which one works for you.
You got some great advice here. I didn't even know about the "What Am I Doing Wrong" checklist.
Good luck!

It could be that you're really ugly and boring. We don't really know unless we could see you. Theres some models that I know I wouldn't wanna pay to see naked. Of course theres always one guy that will like the girl no1 else likes, maybe he just didn't log on that night.

"Ugly" doesn't exist in the porn world, lol. Does not compute! I was actually discussing that yesterday with someone ~ She was a flat-chested girl, insecure about her physique, remarking on how porn is responsible for the "girls should have big boobs" thing. I just said I can't even count the number of small and flat-chested porn sites there are, and how many guys love them thanks to my porn-browsing adventures! I think it's actually the popular media who are way more sensationalist when it comes to that one-dimensional view of attractiveness (blonde hair, blue eyes, huge boobs, tiny waist, huge hips), wheras porn has GOT to be the least discriminatory industry in the entire world. It loves all races, cultures, colours, abilities, disabilities, figures, sizes, shapes, genders... porn wants everyone, lmao!
Going off a huge tangent there!
I do think the best, best thing for new girls to do, is to watch a TON of models working free chat. As many as you can, and as varied as you can (popular girls as well as brand new girls, etc)... Immerse yourself in camming from this perspective first, and do it until you feel so inspired that you're obsessed with camming because it gets your creative juices flowing. Do it until you're daydreaming about your hustle, new props, toys, outfits, and all the shit you want to buy with all the $$$$ you'll make. I don't know what I'd have done if not for my start in camming. I feel like I needed those couple of months before where I was just thinking about and bigging it up in my mind. It paid off an awful lot to have my sights set on it all that time.

Exactly! webcams.com - there's the likely problem.
Sign up with some other sites.

Re: I started camming last night and I just dont get it:( please help!!
If you answer every request with "go private," you might miss out on some money, because some of the guys with money actually prefer to hang out in free chat and tip there. Almost all of the private shows I did on there were ridiculously short...like less than a minute. Guys are cheap when it comes to paying per minute rates. You're gonna get a lot of guys in free chat wanting you to watch their cam. If you do watch their cams, make them tip you for it (I'd say $5 - $10).
I think Webcams.com is kinda slow, like a previous poster said. You'll probably do better with Streamate (there's definitely more traffic there).

I have read through the thread and have to say there is lot's of good advice given, but no one has mentioned the highlighted part of your post. Nearly an hour realy isn't long enough to be able to make a judgement on. Hell I can quite often go that long and more without a dime and I'm sure a lot of other ladies can and do too. Also different times of the day can be busier than others, so an hour in the twighlight zone will always be quiet. Having said that quiet times for me can be busy for others and vice versa. So my advice for what it's worth is to experiment with your days and times and try at least two hours possibly three at a time. :)
Just as an aside, remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder, what seems beautiful to one person may seem ugly to another, in my opinion ugliness is on the inside and is only revealed through jealousy, ignorance or just plain stupidity. Have fun and be yourself you will be fine ;)

Re: I started camming last night and I just dont get it:( please help!!
I think the problem here is listening to the hype about making $$$$
I can cam for almost an hour and make $0 sometimes...it's perfectly normal and this is how it really is. On most camsites it seems that it starts off slow for girls too.

From my post above - Also,it was your first night and you only logged in an hour-two big reasons why you werent raking in the cash rt off the bat.
I addressed it bb! Although,you not only addressed it but went into much more detail on it than I did - something I'll keep in mind next time I answer a question like this,just in case they don't really KNOW why an hour wouldnt be long enough,or that we can go an hour without making $$ either.

Ouch,HARSH...and completely untrue.Incantatious def summed up how you can make money camming REGARDLESS of how you look but I just wanted to add my own personal experience here-
Im a BBW.MANY people do not find fat attractive BUT I still pull in money every time I log on.Just bc some members dont want to pay to see my fat ass naked and jiggling,doesnt mean there arent 4,000 other guys standing in line,money in hand,ready to take me exclusive.There isnt just that "one" guy who pays me,theres MANY - and many more who are cheap and pleading to see me and all my rolls for free!
Taking into consideration that it was her very first night,and the very first hour of her camming career,on a site that's not nearly as popular as some of the others,I'd say that looks/personality really cant even be considered factors in this equation at all.

Re: I started camming last night and I just dont get it:( please help!!
This is again a very good example of performers being mean to other performers, as i always said alot of the trolls in our rooms are performers, we just dont know their names. Not nice and not impressed, when somebody is asking for help especially a new model, to get such an answer, i was simply shocked to read this, to assume OP is ugly and boring w.o taking into consideration other factors is just pure mean and nasty.
Even she was ugly and boring, u never tell such things to a fellow cam girl...

Re: I started camming last night and I just dont get it:( please help!!
Hello I usually do not post much because I am shy , just got done with school, researching ways to improve my camming skills by reading forum for cam girl or actually watching the other girls who seems to do well or actually camming. I pretty sure a lot of the girls already said this but I would say read this forum. It is full of wonderful infomation. I would not know what to do if it has not been for this forum. Before I starting camming I read a lot of this forum, cam girl blogs and watch girls to get an idea on how camming is like. I also cam site for other sites (not studios/white labels) like MyFreeCams ( Since you are having troubles I would hold off on starting to cam on this site since you are having troubles. Also sometimes I do well. Like Monday I made $215 in 2 hours. The next two day I could not make any money less than $10...) Chaturbate seems to be a easy setup and they give you good advice how to cam ( I do not like how you get paid after every three weeks. Also some girls complained about not receiving their money. Also it take time to get money flowing) CamModelDirectory.com seem to be a nice site where you don't have to be in free chat but 80% pay and paid every week. I am officially on the site but I have not started since I am in a motel and the internet is slowing than dial-up and I will have to go to Clear store tomorrow to get better quality internet. The most important thing about camming and other sales job is having a great personality is what going to make guys stay in room and come back. You can be really good at what you have to offer sexually but in my opinion having a stellar personality is what gonna get you far. I have sticky notes on my laptop like
Remember to smile (I am going through a rough week, but the guys would never think that because I am always smiling)
Make sure you always talking ( I think it is better to talk to yourself than to look in the webcam like a zombie and have a dead room)
Greet every person who comes in your room ( Alot of time they wont say hello back because of the lag and they will leave, shy, they have no money and feel they do not have the privilege to talk)
On Streamate ( I know you are a studio verison) You need top notch quality computer and internet to have a good placement on streamate site. When I was at home , my internet was ok but not good enough for streamate because of the encoder would not work and I followed the direction. I can't make money on that site to save my life. I did a speed test on Speedtest.net and got a C- .
Hope I help :)

Girls, I already went ahead and did this but can y'all flag the above post for violating multiple SW rules? And can a mod delete it? There is absolutely no reason to be naming multiple models.
