Aspiring CamBOY here, eager to learn!
Hello all,
My long term girlfriend and myself have been, for months, looking into finding mobile, online income. We've tried a bunch of stuff, and nothing was really working out. The other week she suggested camming, and we're going for it! I'm not entiiiirely comfortable with it yet, but I've been reading the forums here and getting some great tips. It sounds doable.
Anyway, I've tested the waters as a camboy (camguy?) on Streamate, and, after three hours and two minutes, I've earned $147.07! That's more than half my weekly paycheck at my current full time, swing shift job! I guess I'm sold! I don't know if that's beginer luck, or something I can hope to expect with some regularity, but my fingers are crossed soooo, hard, let me tell you. (My lovely lady has yet to try it for herself...)
So anyway, that's a little backstory, and I hope to see you all in the forums!
Cheers!

Man, that's really good! High Five!
Welcome to the forums! I would love to camguys post here more! I would love to learn more about your side and love to hear stories. :D
Re: Aspiring CamBOY here, eager to learn!
nice to see them too.. not many about and many usually have a delusion they will master fill some niche' of lonely house wives - then they burn out and leave realizing a majority of their customers will be men. if you can pass that hurtle easily and learn to just work it what you have you should do great!
Re: Aspiring CamBOY here, eager to learn!
Thanks for the welcomes!
Not going to lie, thus far I've been really surprised with the requests, which have been surprisingly more polite, friendlier, and less sexual and *ahem* internally invasive than I expected. That said, I was completely prepared for a pretty much entirely male clientele. My hurdle wasn't realizing that the viewer base for men was male, it was realizing that there WAS a viewer base for men.
I kind of thought all the creepy guys on sites like chatroullete would have filled that demand for free!
Anyway, we checked out the male model section of streamate, saw how VERY little effort some of the guys were putting in, and my girlfriend was just like, "You could do that and absolutely CLEAN UP."
And I have to admit, working for three hours and making $150, then heading off to my full-time, low-level management job for nine hours and making about $100 was one heck of a wake-up call.
So yeah, thanks for the welcome guys, hopefully I won't be burning out for at least a little while yet!
Oh yeah, and my lady just signed up for her account last night. We're pumped.

Well, I've put in a few more hours, when the roommate wasn't home, which were pretty sloooow. Still, altogether, I'm averaging 22.50/hour, which is more than twice what i get at my regular job, and one hell of a lot more than anyone I know around here even hopes to make. (We're not exactly from a ritzy area!)
Anyhow, I was hoping to be able to chat and maybe ask some questions in the regular forums, but it seems I cannot.
Does anyone know if there are certain permissions or statuses necessary to post to the main forums, specifically the "Camming Connection?"
Re: Aspiring CamBOY here, eager to learn!
posting in industry insight will usually bring some answers to your camming questions - and on streamate you get extra promotion as a new model for a short period of time - take advantage of it
