Moonlighting as a Cam Girl?
I would have posted this in the "Unsure where to Ask?" thread, however I think I will be a little long winded here. I have yet to find a specific answer for my question and believe me Ive read up A LOT on here, learning new things along the way (thanks ladies!) so maybe someone can help me out here.
I'm new to camming, but I've been a stripper previously for some time. Stripping wasn't something I did exclusively, I had always held a vanilla job or self employed in some capacity. For the most part, being an entertainer. (I wont say what but I will say I'm an "entertainment personality" who has built a relative name for herself locally in a few states, and I also have a small presence online) I'm no big time by a long shot...but I don't plan up giving up that dream anytime soon. In any event the type of person I am, I am transparent when need be. If you ask me specifically, " Do you dance/are you a webcam model" I wouldn't deviate from it but its not something I would broadcast or would lead another on to even approach me about it. A semi-moonlighter I guess you could say.
In my field, all of this is kinda looked down upon but stripping would DEFINITELY be more eligible to be accepted than showing your pussy on camera, possibly having hundreds of guys with a copy of it for their viewing pleasure. Me? I don't have the shits to give about it, the more money the better, (its quite the turn on to know people get off watching me getting off but that's another story for another day lol) in my situation but as aforementioned if found to be my line of work, I'm not sure how well this would blow over for fans, and potential fans, so my question to you is....
Is there anyone out here that is camming and making a comfortable income without all the bells and whistles of video sells, Twitter, Snap, any self promotion, etc? (Moonlight camming?) When I read the post on here it seems that the only ones that are successful are the ones that do. I know my income potential will be affected drastically, I know that there is no SURE FIRE way of ensuring no one will ever find out, so I don't need the lectures there. What I am wanting to do though, is try to minimize my risk as much as possible but do something I enjoy and if I can make money from it why the hell not? I feel as if I'm being slightly naīve, expecting to be able to do this, make some money, and not have a large trail leading back to me.
Any suggestions, personal experiences, are welcome! Thanks for reading and Happy Camming! :P
Re: Moonlighting as a Cam Girl?
The one thing I've learned about being an entrepreneur is that you have to do what you enjoy and if you don't like promoting on social media or making clips don't do it. Yes, you can still be successful and this is why:
Camming is a job you design for yourself. By concentrating and focusing on exactly the things you WANT to do and on the customers you want to have, you utilize your highest abilities and talents for those tasks instead of wasting that energy on stuff that you hate. If you look at the most successful of people, they only actually do the stuff they enjoy, the rest they delegate. Anything else can either be set aside or outsourced.
So, if you want to just cam and nothing else then do that to the best of your ability and fuck the rest. Your intuition knows the best path for you. Don't let what others do dictate and be the direction of where you want your career to go.
For instance, I really hated updating my profile on MFC because it was so time consuming, so when I wanted to put up new clips, I would procrastinate because it would take me such a long time to re do all the graphics and then upload and change the code. I decided to purchase a subscription to CammodelExpress and now, I can easily update my profile with new content, easily, on the fly. This makes me more money because I can get my new content up faster and I can actually enjoy the creative aspect of designing my profile. End result? I end up selling my new clips, raffles and merch faster and more often, so the investment was absolutely worth the money.

I don't do the videos and don't update my twitter anymore (it had pics without my face anyway). I work only as a cam girl. It works, the site will promote you if you choose a popular one. There comes the questions tough: how much you plan on dedicating to camming? over how much aprox you expect to do in how many hours ?
I personally work 8 hours per day :)

That sounds just about where I want to put myself. I was thinking 3-4 during the day, 3-4 at night, so sort of a split shift setup. 8 hours a day, between 3-5 days a week.

Than sure it will work ! If you put those hours and you are consistent (you go online at aprox same hours) i don't know why it shouldn't work. I don't do videos, twitter is in a coma lol, snapchat i don't evan know how it works, i just cam. I would tell you how much i do but i hate to give numbers. That is why i asked how much you expect to do in the first place. Hyori has a really good point. You can do it !!
Re: Moonlighting as a Cam Girl?
I don't have social media, no clip sale sites, etc just cam, indy, phone sex, texting and I did almost $9k last month, so you can still do well without the extras.
Re: Moonlighting as a Cam Girl?
Its possible yes it might take a bit longer to get to where u want to go without socail media but all things are possible with effort time and a good hustle while ur doing it . Good luck and happy camming :p
