Names for the job. Things to call your camming/striping/escorting job
I am at a loss as to how to tell my friends and family that i have a job, but not what it is. What do all of you ladies call your job? I told my landlords when asked that i did surveys online for extra money. But i dont actually do that.... so i was wondering if you ladies had any ideas as to what to call your jobs. Be it striping, camming, or escorting. All help would be wonderful. Thanks ever so much!! ;D

For those off-cam that are privileged enough to know what I do, I just say that I do camming and make clips.
For people that don't know me well enough to know... well, we have this thread for that:

I tell people that I masturbate on a professional level.

Re: Names for the job. Things to call your camming/striping/escorting job
Most people who I know well enough to know will keep their mouth shut - know that I'm a cam model. Everyone else thinks I'm still doing hair ...which is true. I do my own hair every day. ;)

Re: Names for the job. Things to call your camming/striping/escorting job
I tell everyone the blunt truth except for my church friends and leasing office. My church friends knew I cammed but urged me to stop and I stupidly did. When I got back into camming I told them I was only doing non-nude, non-sexual bizarre fetishes like burping, toenail painting, tooth brushing, etc. (I actually do those things so it's not 100% lying).
The assistant manager in my leasing office casually asked me last month what kind of work I do from home. I told her I do sales. She asked what I sell and I said, "Oh, lots of things, but primarily multimedia content. I do some crowd sourcing for Amazon as well- writing, transcription, SEO stuff." I was amazed at how easily it rolled off my tongue. She wasn't familiar with any of that stuff so she didn't ask any follow up questions. I think that's the key to it- say something kind of obscure that will go over a person's head. They won't pry anymore because they won't want to look ignorant by showing that they don't know what you're talking about.

Re: Names for the job. Things to call your camming/striping/escorting job
My immediate family and people I went to high school with pretty much know what I do. I've had distant family, strangers, and guys I was talking to ask what I do. I use to say that I did online customer service and marketing. But I'd get questions that I didn't really know how to answer like what kind of customer service do you do or what's the name of the company.
Now I say that I do web developing and run a couple of different sites. Its not a lie because; I do have skills in and went to school for web design, I have my own website and I really do run different websites....SM, Cams, C4s, Niteflirt, Youtube, etc. They just aren't privy to know that the web developing I do and the websites I run are adult orientated. No one has asked for specifics like what sites do you run or can I see some of your work.
I was actually thinking of buying a domain name to use as an online business front (I'd used a different account other then my adult one of course so that it won't get linked to my other website). So when and if someone asks me questions about what I do I can just direct them to the fake site. No more having to come up with lies or feeling hella awkward.
Here were my ideas:
#1: Web design~
You know how some websites just have a index/splash page with a bunch of links to other places like itunes, youtube, twitter etc. Well I was thinking of doing that. Do a simple splash page with some info and a email address. Maybe even make some templates in Photoshop to screen cap so that there's proof of my "work". Wah-la a fake web design business.
#2: Fake online store~
I've been to a couple of websites where you can't make orders online, you have to call the company to place an order. I was thinking of using a free software like Zencart or Virtuemart, disable the online purchasing, install a store template, setup a Google Voice number. Wah-la an online store business.
#3 Real online store~
Ebay, Amazon, Big Cartel, Store Envy, and Etsy. I thought about making a real online store and actually selling stuff.
#4: Youtube Guru~
I don't really have the personality to be a guru but I did think about it. If you make Youtube videos you can always say that you're a Youtube Guru. They're people who make quite a nice living from Youtube. They have business email address, personal websites, online stores, etc. Setup a Youtube, add some videos, create a website, and add a email address....now you're a Youtube Guru.

^ sounds like a lot of work to me but because i never went to school for this maybe its easier then it reads. it took me a solid week doing nothing but working4 hours a day and teaching myself HTML and CSS to edit my tumblr theme code to get it just the way i wanted it.

@Snowy0Star Web design gets easier the more you do it. Honestly school didn't really help that much. I learned most of what I know on my own...mostly from googling and trial an error. When I got stumped I'd ask people who had experience questions. I don't really remember anything that I learned from/in school. Making a fake site would be a little time consuming but once you're done making the site or page you wouldn't have to touch it ever again...it would be a one time thing.

Re: Names for the job. Things to call your camming/striping/escorting job
I used to do this: http://www.liveops.com/
So everyone still thinks I do the same thing. Because I wouldn't let people over when I was working because you couldn't have any background noise.

It gets easier. I do pretty well now, but sometimes I still buy a template because I'm lazy. I learned most of my HTML skills from livejournal(old fangirl) and my photoshop skills were honed making slashy icons and manips. LOL.
You can do it and in the end if you feel like paying someone because you don't want to spend the time on it that's okay. Being a camgirl is 10 jobs rolled into one, it's okay to outsource.
To answer the OP I do some writing so I tell my older relatives that's what I do.

Re: Names for the job. Things to call your camming/striping/escorting job
I can't think of anything clever to tell my dad.
We are very close - so close that I was able to tell him when I was dancing without batting a lash. But for some reason, camming is a little bit beyond that.
I don't imagine I'd lie to him... I haven't told him yet and I'm just kind of hedging around it.
He knows I'm a single mum doing my best to stay at home and raise my kids so at some point I'm just going to blurt it out and he's going to give his awkward approval and "gotta do what you gotta do, bootstraps and hard work and we're all whores anyways" spiel, but still. I wish I were good at lying and he weren't so damn smart and able to call me out on any jargon about "transcription/internet sales/1800flowers" etc.

I usually say online customer service as well, or just "sales", lol. Technically, both are true.

Re: Names for the job. Things to call your camming/striping/escorting job
I get a little lucky because I am a Pastry Chef (I have my degree) and even though I left the bakery I was at last month (thank you camming) I still bake for customers from word of mouth and family/friends so technically I am not lying. Only 3 of my friends know and my brother and wife who are military but we are best friends and he supports me 100 percent! I am completely prepared for anyone who finds out but I do not openly tell people.

Re: Names for the job. Things to call your camming/striping/escorting job
Modeling ( as the beautiful Snowy said=winning!). Modeling is actually more common than most people realize, it's not all catwalk modeling. Commercial models make up the majority of the modeling world, along with body parts models etc. Other than that, customer service, sales, running an ebay/etsy store, affiliate marketing, writing, social media, consulting, website design.
My mom knows what I do for a living, but for other people (like BF's grandma), one of these little "covers" or "half-truths" works just as well.
