Webcam
I had mentioned to one of my customers that I'm getting cable internet on Friday and I wished I had a webcam so I could check out the webcam scene, but then I would want another computer so I could do it in a different room and I didn't want to lay out that much cash when I might not like it.
So, he brought me a laptop and two webcams (not a huge deal, they were extras at his work). So, not only can I do webcam, but now I can take a laptop to school!
Anyways, I signed up with GirlTime, they're installing my cable internet on Friday, so hopefully by Saturday I'll be naked on the internet! :boobies: :bouncy: Woohoo!!
Does anyone have any advice? What do you do in a webcam show? I'll do lollypop shows and some other things, but I can't imagine that playing with a big dildo is sexy... or is it?

Re:Webcam
First let me say congats on the early Christmas present ;-)
I have done web cam for ages on Ifriends, tho Im not as familiar with Girltime. I assume it has a free chat and pay cam time.
I think that its similar in some ways to dancing, its all about sales and teasing people into pay video, rather than chatting for free all night.
Yes most of the guys want to see some "hot action" so I find a small toy is a good idea...they seem to like the visual aids while describing what they would want to do with/to you etc.
Its important to nudge the chat and activity into areas you are comfortable with, as some of the request can get a bit wild. I always used a persona of an innocent and a little coy gal just working out her sexual energies because of a lack of male companionship.
Im sure you will quickly find what works for you, and your experience in the club with small talk and sales will be a big asset.
Let us know how it goes and feel free to PM me if you want to discuss it further.
Best of luck

Re:Webcam
Hey Lena, if you go to all performers my pictures are (should )still be on GT. I did web with them, and did fine. The only problem i had was they are watching over the board 24/7, which seemed fine at first, but one night i had half my room banned out, and i asked about it. It was due to cc. fraud.
It's a nice site, Zakk (can't say real name, he will if he wants to.) is cool. But they will kick you off if you also do wor for another site whilw workinh with them. That happened to me, but he let me back, i had to quit the other site. If that rule still applies, not sure.
I still have my password and all, just have not been active with any site, i do yahoo with a few guys i know for pay monthly.
One time on GT i was in and out of Pvt's so much i could not believe it. The clentel is there, but you have to make something about yourself stand out. There are alot of pretty girls on there and pretty does not cut it anymore. I did fetish shows! It worked! OH and you should get a news letter along with pay every other week. Also you have tomake over $25 to get a check, that a piece of cake! If that rule still applies too, not sure.
Good luck,
Pamela

Re:Webcam
Pamela, what kind of cut does GT take from the performers? I had set up a website for some dancers a while back that included a gateway to Ifriends for them to do their webcam magic. IFriends takes a 50% cut.

Re:Webcam
When i did work on GT they took 30% of our earnings. Not sure what all they have done to the site now, the software is different now as well as images, that much i have noticed, if i wanted to do GT again, i would have to update my computer to their new software and such.

Re:Webcam
I was actually going to inquire about starting a new website. I was wondering if any of the girls here would be interested in it. I have my own servers here so content is not a problem. I have more than enough software to do all the chores involved with making a good looking place to go. And I've got more than enough experience to put it all together. Not porn, sexiness with class.

Re:Webcam
bdoc,
Of course I would be interested but the problem with that is the marketing. There are sooo many sites with naked girls, and banners and pop ups with them all the time, that I think a site pretty much has to already have a name to make good cash. Now, if somebody would do a webcam site for one of the major strip club chains (Girls of Deja Vu) then the site would probably be successful, but nobody would want to work for them.

Re:Webcam
Lena i agree with you, but at the same time if a new cam co. comes along and has alot of customers chatting it's like a breath of freahs air!
I have seen many come and then be gone. But i was willing to take my chances, i jumped around to see what site had the most customers before i would sign on.
NOT the most performers. At one time i probably signed with 9 different cam co's. It was fun. But now my cam is broke, i'm out.
Good luck hun with GT!

Re:Webcam
The last site I worked up was dancers exclusively. There was good call for it because not only were there picture galleries (always a good draw), there were schedules that each girl could post. Not only for the clubs and dates they appeared, but also for their webcam shows. Nice thing about what I had done was that it wasn't so time intensive that it overran your life. The girls bought me out and it lasted about 5 months after that. I don't want to lay blame or point fingers, but the girls really didn't have the know-how to keep the site running on the technical side. Too many fingers in the pot spoiled a good site.
I was getting aprox. 10, 000 hits/month. That wasn't bad at all considering I had nothing backing me except a decent idea. I believe in class, not just ass if you know what I mean.

Re:Webcam
bdoc,
That sounds good, and I'm sure that any of us who do webcam would be interested in a successful site...

Re:Webcam
:-( Now I can't get girltime's software to work. It keeps illegal operationing, and I've uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, and uninstalled and reinstalled it, and my cam too. It seems to have some trouble with my cam driver, so I think maybe it's a 98se issue. Whatever it is it's driving me crazy and neither of those tech guys are online :-(

Re:Webcam
Lena, what brand webcam are you using? If I'm familiar with your cam I will gladly help you.

Re:Webcam
Lena they used to have a contact at the bottom of the page. It, shouild give an email. They used to be quick to respond. I have the number around here someplace if you don't get in touch. Nights is the best time to go in a room for help, careful who you chose, that person may ban you. But i have done that before when not signed on, asking how to put a profile pic. up and the lady was nice, but then admin popped in.
Let me know,
Pamela

Re:Webcam
I have an intel cam and a logitech cam (he gave me two cause he had them both and didn't know which one would work better for me).
The problem is that their program doesn't work with 98se, and I can't get the laptop he gave me (with win2k) to see the network.
Help?

Re:Webcam
ok, first off...Microsoft just announced that they will no longer support Win98 any version. I have an intel cam here and I will try installing the software and see the steps needed. Does that make me a soon to be cam-girl????

Good luck,
Pamela
And yes...Bdoc, your a cam girl! Hugz! :)

Re:Webcam
okay, i've been on girltime for two nights now and haven't made much money. i'll have lots of people in my room, but i'll only get one or two $customers all night. So far, if they have the $ by their name they take me pvt. So what's the deal? Are there better customers on other sites or does it just take time to get regulars?

Re:Webcam
Lena customers move to every web site known. What you have to do is watch the other performers, and set yourself apart.
And yes it takes time to build up a clientel. I did not have any privates when i first started, then i just liked having fun on cam, and they came to private. Also if Zakk allows now, go to other cam sites and join as well, i went where there where less performers, and lots of chatters hanging around.
Remember too, your profile is your calling card, make it very hot! And be different.
Good luck,
Pamela

Re:Webcam
Lena, in my experience it is REALLY hard to make money on webcam sites now because of the huge amount of sites and girls out there. I did cam work about two years ago and made pretty good money, then I tried it again last year, on GirlTime and a couple other sites, and didn't make ANYTHING! It's very frustrating. You used to be able to do regular masturbation shows and make $$$, now I feel like you need to do something extreme to even get anyone's attention.
Good luck though. Maybe you'll have more than I did!

Re:Webcam
Hmm. I think I'll keep logging onto girltime a couple hours a night when I have spare time, and if I don't start making money in a week or so I'll change sites. Meanwhile, I'll change my profile a bit. I really like my "cover pic" tho - I think I might even make it my avatar here... (actually, I think I'll go do that right now...)

Re:Webcam
Lena, are you making decent money on Girltime? I tried it awhile ago along with a couple other websites and I made very little money, so I gave up. Most of the customers who logged on were guys begging to see tits and ass for free. I'd be interested in doing webcam again if the money is worth it though.
