New in camming - Looking for information :)
Hi pretty ladies! I am Candice, 21 year old from South America and new to this camming thing in international websites.
Excuse me for my english mistakes as it isn't my first language but I will give it a good try lol.
And I am new to the forum as well, so I am sorry if I wasn't supposed to open a new thread, I just thought would be the most likely thing to do as I have lots of questions which wouldn't fit in other threads, and because it would probably help lots of new models with the same questions.
Anyway, I just decided to give it a try to this web camming thing in international websites as I know the public is bigger and they pay more money in USD.
I've been working for a while for a local website where I can make average around USD 100 a day, working 9-10 hours day, but I get it in local money and it's getting a bit slow.
I saw some threads about challenge where some girls say they can make even USD 3.000 a week, so my questions are:
1 - Is that amount of money realistic? I know it really depends on the girl and the number of hours you put at work, but as I work full day, sometimes 12 hours a day, is that even possible?
2 - I know you girls call websites by abbreviation, but as I am totally new to this, could you let me know what the abbreviations mean? I see a lot the "AW" one (except by SM, which I know is Streamate).
3 - What are the best websites to work currently? I plan to split as I heard it's the most recommended thing to do.
4 - I would like to know the meaning of some expressions you girls use a lot, like "Indie" and "Vanilla".
and the last one
5 - Do you girls have an income in web modelling other than just camming? (Like selling videos, etc) and if so, is that a good thing to do?
Thank you so much for that! You ladies have been really inspiring me.
Much love and $$$ for you all.
Xo,
Candice S.

1 Yes, and much, much more.
2 AW - AdultWork, CB - Chaturbate, MFC - MyFreeCams, IML - ImLive, CMD - CammodelDirectory, LCMS - LiveCammodelShows, SP - SkyPrivate
3 Streamate and MyFreeCams are still our top "average" earners, even with issues. There are superstars on all sites thought that can bank.
4 Indie - People that tend to stick to skype shows or content selling on their own websites, "indy" payment processors are those in the 60-85% payout range. Vanilla is a relative term.
5 If you have the time, go for it. You'll figure out what is the most profitable use of your own time and energy.

Thanks so much Katy! It kind of freaked me out seeing some threads about girls saying camming been really slow and they can't barely do $500 a week =O
Re: New in camming - Looking for information :)
^^ $3000 a week is possible of course, but it varies with every model. That's definitely on the high end of the earnings scale among models on SM. For MFC, less than 1% make 80% of the money from what I remember of the statistics that used to be available on mycamgirl.net.
Re: New in camming - Looking for information :)
Vanilla is more like "normal" as in strip tease or dancing nothing fetish.

"If you have the time, go for it. You'll figure out what is the most profitable use of your own time and energy."
I agree... you can try a few things and see what suits you.
I'm trying to do what I actually enjoy anyway and see the money as a side benefit. Because if you're in it just for the money (and there are constant reminders of how other girls are making more than you), and you're doing things you don't really enjoy just because some girls make a lot doing them, it's easy to burn out.
Re: New in camming - Looking for information :)
Very wise! I totally agree. Time seems like forever when we are bored with something.
Could you tell me what most of girls do on camming and what are the most common fetish things? As I am new, that would be great to know :)
Re: New in camming - Looking for information :)
If you want, probably the best repository of "fetish things" on the internet is the Clips4Sale category dropdown on their site.
Scroll down the list, pick something, look at the sample videos and descriptions.
