    Default Bonjour! I'm a new camgirl (sharing starter details)

    Hey ladies,

    first and foremost I want to say a huge thank you to all of you who share what you learned the hard way so newbies (like me) who are eager of more information find it all in one single place. SW is definitely the best website ever on the adult industry and especially, where I'm getting now, the webcam modeling industry.

    I am a black 21 years old girl who lives in Paris, France. So yay to those who are frenchies or french-speaking, feel free to befriend me and/or PM me for "un petit" chat!

    Long story short, I have been in the adult industry since I'm 18. Been independant escort girl then quit cause I didn't want to get known in the town where I was living back then. I have been doing cam shows here and then, randomly, for pocket money. I also did some "students" jobs where you get paid 500 to 700 US$ a month for about 25 hours a week besides going to college. Then I stopped college because I was sick at the idea of running 2 jobs to make ends meet, besides studying, for the next 3 to 5 years - kind of time required to get a "nice job" diploma. Well now I'm here (in Paris) and live with my boyfriend.

    So yeah... since last month I consider webcamming as a serious career, and I'm getting back to it steadily. I don't want to return to escorting, first because I think I have learned and experienced all I ever wanted from escorting, secondly because I now have a boyfriend (soon to be fiance) who already "accepts" my wish to become successful in webcam modeling, and I think this is really amazing of him (my ex boyfriend would talk about such girls as whores and stuff but I bet he was running to such sites at nights... whatever... you know how this kind of guys are.)

    So here I am, serious career goals, big daily goals, even started a blog to generate some content and some affiliate links later. I'm NOT going to ask you how to get traffic, SEO tips and such - you spent months talking about it and it's my job to go through the posts and find the gems

    Now, what I would ask you...

    I'm signed on LiveJasmin, Webcams.com, ImLive and Camworld. I only started recently to split cam between chats. I feel really bad about what I'm going to stay but I want to share it, I hope other girls who feel like me and live the same thing as me will feel less alone! Or maybe am I the one who will feel less alone after sharing, heh?

    So yeah, few months ago, I decided to sign on large sites and work seriously on it. One approved me quickly. There, I spent sometimes up to 8 hours a day in front of my cam, and on this site (not sure if I can share which so I prefer not to) I made only 200 US$ in 2 weeks. This website writes in REALLY SMALL letters, in an ALMOST INVISIBLE spot that you are paid 4 weeks after you have done your job and I had the AMAZING surprise to discover that my Epassporte card would be shipped an other 2 weeks later. In short, it took me 6 weeks to get paid my first paycheck. Now that I have the card they will pay automatically on it the day I'm done with my job... but it's still happening 4 weeks later. The experience on the site was great, good traffic, though this whole 4-weeks-later-payment bugs me. Best: it doesn't even include the period's chargebacks. The chargebacks move to next period's payment.

    Honestly, it's a great webcam newbie site, it taught me the ropes of webcam modeling. So any kind of money I could make off of this first experience, I took it. But hell yeah, I wish I made more!

    On other webcams sites, I took it less seriously and only stayed online a lot the last week. On two websites, I am reaching about 50 US$. On the third, it is not even showing my profile when I type, can't get to see where is their "contact us" page to fix this issue so I have made what... 4 US? I don't even get how the guy got to my chatroom. Whatever...

    When comparing it all, I do roughly 30 US$ every 12 hours of work.

    It's incredibly low, I know.

    Now, I know I have to put in the hours, to step up my game, upgrade slowly my independant camming fan base, my appearance and grow my website traffic (I read you as industry's bible!). I am scared of splitting between more than 3 cam sites but you know what, maybe I should try those I heard of like camwithher, onhercam etc., see if maybe it fits me better. I'll do that as next big steps and slowly stop camming on sites that don't bring me anything.

    For now, my questions are:

    1. I saw some models are just showing their faces on webcam, hardly moving; some others on the contrary, move all the time to please the guys; I saw a top earner just zoom on her ass and constantly slap it between two movements of cam to her face... Are there, without insulting you with a "magic formula question", are there key movements or sounds (voice, music - I never have music on) that brings more easily the private shows ? I read a topic on here on what to say to a guy during private shows (bookmarked it!) now not sure about how to move.

    2. Did you make this kind of money when you started ? How long did it take you (hours per week or whatever kind of shift you sticked to) to get an "acceptable" pay check ?

    While I do realize what I do is extremely low, I have to admit I didn't take it this seriously. It's only starting these days - obviously when I need the money. I made 800 US$ a month on a friends' ran site but guess what, when it's summer, there is 0 traffic. And they only promote one girl... the owners' girlfriend. So yeah, I am out of there. Besides, I don't want to stick to 800 US$ a month all my life, I want three times that at least.

    I'm giving myself 6 months to reach this kind of income.

    3. Is it reasonable time to expect such money ? Is it too long ?

    Ok, now you are done reading this crazy long post.

    wow..$800 a month?? geez, you should be able to make that definately within 6 months, i would even say well before, but sheesh yea. my BEST advise is to watch what other cam girls do in their room and learn. Yes to music- i cant stand not having backround music, plus it makes dancing or moving sexy a whole lot easier lol

    but yea, not to be mean or anything, it sounds like if you have to ask how to move on cam you need a lot more help than just a few tips and maybe watching a few girls will help give you ideas.

    Well it's not "how to move" as I don't know how to do it at all... It's "how to move" as in so many people I watch on cam go from almost giving it all for nothing to almost looking arrogant not giving anything. I'm part of the latter. I do tease and stuff, but nothing crazy cause I don't want to feel like giving stuff for free. So was wondering if it's what I was doing wrong. Anyway I guess you are somehow right, I will probably come to find my limit on when it's enough as I practice more.

    If I had made that little money in all that time I would be very upset. It sounds like the sites you are on are wrong for you or maybe do not have enough paying traffic.

    Sometimes it takes trying a few different sites to find one that's a good fit.

    What sites have you tried?

    Hey, thanks so much for your advices Victoria and Laurie!

    Actually I'm on ImLive, LiveJasmin, Camworld and Webcams.com

    I'll definitely try adultwork but I heard horrible things about myfreecams (lot of beggars and the fact they put our paying shows on xtube kind of sites. Is it true ? )

    I really appreciate your feedback!

    Streamate is a pretty good site for newbies and I almost always make good money on there. I normally make $100 in three hours. Traffic is slowing down a bit during the summer, but I think the same can be said for every camsite. They DO record and sell your shows (without giving you a cut of the profit), but it's a great site in every other way.

    Hey Ladies,

    you are SO right shaebabii, I did that a lot haha, I'll dance in front of my cam all the time now :p thanks for the great tip!

    I think I didn't express myself very clearly (excuse my french, sometimes it's tough to be clear) but yeah what I meant is:

    I DID MAKE 800 US$ last month, when I took it seriously
    My goal is to make 3 TIMES that, so 2400 US$ a month, at least and I hope to reach 2400 US$ a month as a minimum monthly income within the next 6 months. That's my goal.

    Hope it's more clear xD

    Thanks for everybody's advices, I'm lovin this forum!

    I've been doing it for years and I would never waste my energy actually cumming on cam.

    I don't make a big show of it when I cum for real anyway so they would be bored as hell, lol.

    They are paying me to make THEM cum.

    You can fake it verbally but then what do you do when the guy asks you to show him? Anyone knows that when a woman orgasms that you can totally see it. Stuff comes out! If you are not a squirter, I would suggest you place the cam down to your private area where no one can see your face, then spit on your fingers and rub it around your clit when you are about to fake moan an orgasm. Looks just like the real thing up close. You can also use lotion like Nivea or Keri or any white lotion and come time to orgasm just rub it down the back of your ass. Looks just like the real thing on cam.(Happy Camming Ladies)

    I admit, I do cum on cam for real every now and then. But my real orgasms don't make me scream and moan and thrash around like a porn star, so of course I have to embellish them quite a bit... lol.

    Pornstars erm... they do sometimes bark like little dogs - I mean you can HEAR it that it's fake. Got male friends who told me that it was a turn off at some point when they watch porn haha

    I do personally cum on shows, depending on what I did before logging hehe, but only for the first cam show of the day when there are many

    Eh In my 4 years of camming, I've only heard "Show me" twice. Not cummin and NOT using cremes on my pussy hasn't hurt my money.

    Cumming during a camshow won't make you anymore money than fake cumming

    It really all depends on the extent of what kind of cam shows you offer, as well as how you go about conducting your business. You do various things within the industry to make ends meet such as dancing, escorting, and camming. All I do is cam! I cam full time so my income relies heavily on being versatile and offering a wide variety of features in my shows to keep my income stabilized from one source. I squirt, dirty talk, I do anal, dp, role play, phone, domination, and all kinds of fun stuff that ''actually'' gets me off. But as I always say, ''Do what you are comfortable with''! Its alot more fun than feeling pressured. If you feel pressured throughout your time online as a newbie, you will get mentally worn out and withdraw from camming. I have seen lots of models do this. Just relax and have fun ladies!

    since you mentioned that you are in paris and you mentioned you speak french; i would assume you have a french accent and therefore, if i were you i would play up the french accent to the fullest because accents are sexy. if you are getting paid in US $ that means you are getting US customers and lots of them love foreign girls as they think they are exotic! you could absolutely bank on this!
