    Default better site to start on as newbie

    Which would be a better site to start on as a NEW camgirl? Ive narrowed it down to a non nude site(On Her Cam) and webcams.com. I'm speaking in terms of traffic and $$ potential.

    OHC seems like they want you to do blogs and video posts, i hope its not required. I do love that u get to keep 50%. After doing a search though, it seems like theres less traffic.

    webcams.com u keep less of a % but i hear theres a lot more traffic.
    Also it says that u have to keep the customer happy under any circumstances in the model FAQ, i mean if im not willing to do something i dont want to do it.

    Any help on this is appreciated thanks!

    Hey hun have you checked out this thread its got a list of a lot of the different sites the girls here use and their opinions of them. I know it's helped me a lot...I havent started camming yet, going to start in a few weeks when I move out and have more privacy, but all the info in that thread and the rest of the forum has been so helpful to me already in deciding which sites I should go for. From what I've gathered, sites like streamate seem to be the most newbie friendly sites, lots of traffic, easy to use, but there are also downsides, for example they sell your vids on the porno tube sites without your permission.
    I think the general consensus is to shop about a bit, try out different sites because what works for one girl may not work for another. Good luck! I can't wait to start!

    i live on this forum. I would just like to know between these 2 sites which would be better for a new person to start on from someone who has worked on either one? they are so very different its really hard for me to decide, ive used the search button soooooo many times, unfortunately a lot of these posts tend to be outdated so any current info would be extremely helpful.

    how about signing up for both and seeing for yourself which one works better for you? tons of girls work on tons of sites and a site that works for me might not work for you and vice versa.

    Hello! Why are you only trying to work on one site alone? The business of webcamming is becoming so competitive that models are using Splitcam and working multiple cam sites all at once. If you are having difficulty deciding between which sites to work on then just work on ALL OF THEM OR BOTH! Limiting yourself is only limiting your money making potential. Webcamming is not ''rocket science''! Just fill out your paperwork, start somewhere, and if you do not achieve your financial goal within a certain time frame just quit and go to another site. Simple as that! I cannot stress this enough but webcamming is NOT for everyone. Alot of extremely hot girls online dont make alot of money because they dont have the personality for online entertaining and selling a fantasy. It is also a luxury to have privacy at home to perform adult nude webcam shows. Alot of models may not offer sound but you better believe they are fast typers. Its a skill to be able to retain a customers attention for a long period of time to really get inside his head and make him spend mad cash and become a regular. Some succeed, alot fail and result back to dancing or escorting to make ends meet. I wish you the best of luck in whichever you decide.

    huh? They went up? I just got a new 9000 last week and it was only $99.99. Maybe you're thinking of the newer 9000, they came out with an HD version I believe and its about $200

    Yeah, I said something on here a while back about how I didn't like Webcams.com FAQs stating that you have to keep the customer happy no matter what. *rolls eyes* They could've worded that a little differently, because it makes it sound like they don't give a shit about a cam girl's limitations and whatnot. I definitely think they have more traffic than OHC.

    I do agree about the lack of traffic on OHC, but I like the way that site was put together...it's very nice, and they also have a feature for you to upload songs to a playlist in your chatroom...pretty cool. When I look to see how many hosts on there are online, it always shows like only 5 hosts.


    I think you should try both sites though. On OHC, you do have to start out in free chat, but you have the option to disable your cam and mic (making it more of a free TEXT chat instead). One thing I don't like is that when I get an invite for paid chat, it doesn't make a sound to alert me of it. Most sites would have a sound for this. I was online once doing something else, and when I clicked back to my OHC window, I had JUST missed a paid chat invite, because there was no alert sound to let me know. I like the money "ka-ching!" sound Webcams.com has for when you get a paid show.

    You dont have to pick just one i sign up and work on them all. Try them all out and get a magicam software and splitt your cam so you can work multi sites at one time..

    Along with that said work on the yahoo cam sites too so you can take those shows cause blocks of prepaid time can really add up in a day or week.

    Being new never limit yourself thats a mistake i see alot of new cam girls doing, even myself did that when i was new.

    If you really want to say make 400 to 500 a day and not only 100 to 150 then you have to work many places.

    As far as percent all sites variey depending on there business costs and what they put out to there affliates.

    A per min site allways pays less then a yahoo cam site but again per min sites tend to have the most traffic.

    There are benifits to both and i know alot of girls have a idea of what percent they will not work for if it's less then.

    from my exp I work on them all no matter what.

    I am the kinda person who when i get on cam wants to be busy and stay busy and i want to make the max out of my hours on cam. what i found was the less sites i worked for the less money i made..

    Say i work on a yahoo cam site thats pays me 75% and one who pays me 65% then i see one who pays 50%..

    do i blow off the all but the one who pays me 75%?

    for me hell no! Because then i only get the shows from the 75% site when i could have gotten the shows from them all..

    I would rather do 10 yahoo shows a day then 2 to 4 because of course who made more money for the day?

    I respect how any model wants to make money thats a personal choice but for me my personal choice is more shows and more money.

    so heres a good way of looking at this as a new cam model don't focus on the % focus on what you make per hour.

    Add all the sites profit you made up for the day and avg what your per hour was. Look at camming as one big check.

    You want to make a min of 60 per hour a buck per min. if you look at things this way over 8 hours thats 480.00 a day. Fantastic money. but to keep making this kinda money its not going to happen everyday with only working one site or being real picky with %.

    all again a personal choice you can make the lower money or the higher.

    I find it very hard to cam and stay motivated working one site and waiting on shows, i need to keep moving or im going to get bored and stressed and log off.

    If you keep your shows moving fast you have less time to feel bored. and ofcourse a fat bank account.

    I try to suck up all the money i can get and once those kinda checks start coming to you then you will be alot more happy you are a cam girl.

    As far as please all the guys all the time thats never going to happen and i dont like sites who say you have too.. there has to be some give in this business and alot of cam sites owners understand that and the ones who don't you will find that out and move on..

    Some guys wants anal and you dont do anal? That's so simple I fake anal, am i really going to stick a toy inside there all day long NO!

    Practice faking this stuff in a mirror or while your cam is on but not in any shows and see what things you can do it make it look real. Do what makes the money as long as it's legal. Your not really do cam shows because you really get off on it your playing a sexual acting rule.. nothing more!
    The world is full of anything you want if you just go take it! Just keep your hands off my kitty!

    Excellent, excellent advice here.

    I'm still not reaching a consistent amount of 60 per hour, but definitely it's my goal. I have been running a bunch of sites at once, getting better at it as I go along. I definitely want to reduce my time online and increase my $ per hour.
