Newbie Questions!
Hi, I'm getting ready to do my first show (hopefully tomorrow) and I'm so worried I'm gonna forget something! Is there some sort of checklist I can go by to make sure I'm remembering everything? I'm planning to start on Chaturbate and then eventually try out Streamate and MFC to see where I make the most money, and I have a few questions.
How do private shows work? Are they through the site you're working or something individual, like Skype? Do you get paid before or after? Should I expect tips during the show?
What is a "hustle"? I keep seeing that term being used around here but I don't understand exactly what it means.
How do taxes work? How do I know what percentage to withhold from each paycheck?
I've done quite a bit of reading and note taking to try and learn as much as I can, but I could use all the help I can get. I hate going into something feeling unprepared and just when I feel ready, I come across something else I didn't know about!
Thank you guys so much in advance for your help. I absolutely love this community! <3

Re: Newbie Questions!

Re: Newbie Questions!
Is true ^ it seems like a lot but break out a notebook and start reading it ALL the answers to all those questions are here. But honestly no matter how much you read here or anywhere the best way to learn the sites is to use them. There's nothing to lose so log on and start pushing buttons! Lpts of people in free chat will explain things to you too (be careful who you listen to and about what though), just jimp in I say! :)

I'm not sure how you missed this basic info if you've been reading lots on cam?! But anyway…
How do private shows work? Are they through the site you're working or something individual, like Skype? Do you get paid before or after?
Pretty much every site (token (ex MFC & CB)/private (SM)) has an open "free" chat. The regular chat room is where you are trying to get guys into paid chat. Paid chat is where members take you 1 on 1 for shows. Layout for paid chat is different from one site to the next. Read each sites model FAQ.
Should I expect tips during the show?
Not typically. If they are paying you per min or whatever for a show then members generally don't tip while in paid chat.
What is a "hustle"? I keep seeing that term being used around here but I don't understand exactly what it means.
Busting your ass to make money & bank.
How do taxes work? How do I know what percentage to withhold from each paycheck?
Read ALL of the CC sticky threads.
Also. http://curvywinona.blogspot.com will be your bff if you read it all through.

Also this thread which should be stickied IMO: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...and-FAQ-Thread
"How do private shows work? Are they through the site you're working or something individual, like Skype? Do you get paid before or after?"
Always use the site's private show feature if they have one, do not offer Skype there or risk getting banned or suspended. If you want to offer Skype shows, you need to sign up on an indy site or promote it on your twitter or your own website. ALWAYS get paid by the customer first. NEVER perform a show or a request if he says he'll pay you after.
But you'll probably learn the above if you do more reading.
