    Default "Outsourced" Cams

    Isn't there a whole flood of girls in 2nd and 3rd world countries also camming for profits? I would think the price competition would be tough. Wanted to see girls opinions on this.

    Yes, especially in my niche (asian). Like 95% of the asians are from the philippines. They charge around 1.99, and i charge aoubt 2.99. How do I still make money? Cuz I'm an American. I speak English. The majority of camgirls are from other countries I think, and most have limited english. So being able to converse more in depth than, hi bb, horny, tits, play?, gives you a big advantage. Plus most the girls in other countries are in studios. IMO, i think the camgirls who are working outta their homes are just more fun. In a studio, it looks like work. At home, it looks like we're just horny in our bedrooms. Plus it seems as if we have more resources to give better shows. Most the foreign girls in my category wear the same dingy bra and underwear and have bad cam quality (not trying to put them down, just making an observation).

    So I feel as if it's an advantage for the most part for us girls being in competition with foreign girls. There are reasons why it sucks too though. They do usually price cheaper, and since they're working a studio, it seems that they're more complacent. Sometimes i watch the free chat cams on streamate because i'm a creeper. LOL. When the guys tell the american girls to stand up, show this, show that... they usually get ignored, kicked, chewed out. The foreign girls seem to show more in free (probably encouraged by their bosses).

    Ladies,

    It's all about customer service. Every market has it's low end and its high end. Whether you are a dancer, escort, PSO, or cam girl you are either low end or high end. Both price categories have their own customer base. Your objective as a business woman (and cam girls make sure you see yourself as a business woman) is to find your market and cater to them appropriately.

    If you want to charge a lower rate that's fine. You'll get customers who need to be conscious of price. You'll make money but since your price is low you will need to work harder and longer to earn the big dollars.

    If you feel you are high end and want to charge more for your cam shows then be damn sure that your service is top notch. Dress to the nines, interact with your clients, engage in real conversation, spoil your regulars from time to time, get your self a kick ass blog, get yourself on Twitter, etc. Decide whether you are catering to the Mazda crowd or the Mercedes men!

    I recently started seeing a Russian guy who was amazed that I was camming on my own b/c he said that several Mafia guys force their women to do it for them to bring in more money.

    ^^^lol. They do. But you can never be too rich, right? Also they probably see it as somewhat safer & easier than only running the girls as escorts. (no in-person contact w/customers required, the girls can't run away if they're being guarded/locked in a room with a cam, etc)
