    Lightbulb Preparing to be a cam girl

    Hello Ladies!

    I have been lurking on the site over the last few days. I'm submitting my paperwork tonight to streamate to start camming and I am SO excited. But I am also nervous. I have never done any kind of adult work.. but have always had the idea in the back of my mind. I wanted to dance for a long time however I just couldn't get over the idea of having my guy friends or clients of my day job coming in and seeing me in person.. And then I stumbled across camming and think that this really could be a profitable and exciting option.

    My day job is in sales and I am used to flirting to up my income.. but obviously this is many many steps futher. I know that plenty of people have asked for tips on this site so I am trying not to repeat anything I have read.. but the main thing I want to know is how to mentally prepare for my first night. I'm hoping to get approved in time to start camming over the weekend but we will see (wont get everything submitted till about 8pm pt tonight Friday).

    I am 21.. experienced sexually but not with anything abnormal. I can't do anal (OUCH!) and as of now only own one smallish pink dildo ( I will be investing in more toys as soon as I have the income to do so). Anyways any help will be appreaciated! I am so happy I found this place!

    Hello! I've been rotating between camming, dancing and working a vanilla job for four years! I'm actually starting up with MFC after taking a 2 month break from camming.

    One thing I did to prepare was just watch other girls work, I pretty much do my own thing, but watching other girls gave me confidence, to know what there are plenty of women doing this, so I can do it too!

    I would ease into it..maybe an hour or two the first day, then increase it by another half hour the next day or so on. Some times I like to spread shifts out, like work 2-4 hours in the morning and another 2-4 at night. Whatever makes you feel comfortable!

    I can say, go on MFC and take a look at the girls on there as a guest. Get a feel for all that is out there. I did this and its reassuring to see all shapes and types are out there. Some are crazy, some are awesome and some a very tame... all making money.

    I agree with Elyse, take it slow...don't try to pull major hours. Do what YOU feel comfortable. Remember YOU are in charge in your room. Maybe play music that makes you happy and confident before hand. Take time to look your best. And smile. As a fellow newb to cam i can totally relate your jitters. Take your nature gift of flirting and run with it! Good luck!

    Welcome to the forums!

    Unfortunately I don't have too much advice to give because I'm new myself. But one thing I did learn was to read all of the information that's available on this site! Its a great wealth of info

    Happy Camming!

    Thanks girls!! I'm still not approved yet.. I think? For the ladies using Streamate how long did it take for you guys and how do you know? Im just checking by pressing the "start my show" button but when I press it it doesn't do anything.. i'm assuming its because im not approved yet right? sorry if the questions seem silly just want to make sure!

    I signed up on there and it said something like my bio pic could take 3 - 10 business days to be approved. Hope they hurry up, because ImLive has been so dead lately it's scaring me, and on some of the other sites it's been difficult lately getting some of these guys to go to private chat (it's like pulling teeth).

    Nope. I tried to sign up for Streamate from one of my other e-mail addresses (I know someone on here who got away with working BOTH sites), and thought I was in there, but then I got an "It appears you are under a contract with Internet Modeling" e-mail...d'oh! Sooo close! Actually, I told Janet that I still wanna close my account there (I bet she thought I would stay with them), and she closed it for me. I have to wait one year now before working on Streamate, which is dumb.

    Too bad. I've heard great things about Streamate and wanted to give it a try.

    When i signed up for streamate, i got my accepted message like within the week i believe and they gave me the list of stuff they needed me to do. Mind you, this was in August, probably less busy then. I got everything done in like a week (which took them a few days to approve) but then stopped when they gave me a hard time about my "photo w/ id". Kinda got annoyed and bounced my butt to onhercam. I never got past that part.

    Maybe send them a message asking if there's anything they need to be clarified or something. I imagine Sept is a busy month for the cam world.

    Yup, that's how I look at it now. LOL. I'm signing up at the direct sites, from now on. I used to go to SexyJobs.com and sign up for cam sites from there, and that right there was the problem because they've got all kinds of cam ads there posted by the studio agents.

    Myfreecams literally approved me in 5 minutes, approved every thing i handed in and filled out in like 5 minutes and only took a day to approve my payment stuff. Pretty freakin quick. No papers to print,sign, and scan and all you need to send is your photo id.

    (give or take i already had my id and other forms of identification scanned and ready from the last time.)

    streamate was quick for me, but that was over a year ago. Naked is quick, MFC are quick as well (although I would NOT recommend MFC for a complete newb)

    I agree, its not for the light of heart and is kinda easy to get overwhelmed in.
    Although if you got your head on straight and prepare yourself, i think one can catch on quick. It just takes a lot patience and thick skin.

    I keep seeing "MFC" Is that myfreecams? Total newb question I know.. And if so is it not good for newbs because guys are jerks? I have pretty thick skin so I don't really think I would have a problem with guys being assholes.. as long as their is a ban button and I'm making money, bring it on!

    I also just noticed that Streamate has a 3 week delay to get paid at first.. Was kinda looking to make money quicker than that does MFC pay faster at first?

    Yes

    MFC = Myfreecams

    Models on MFC get paid every two weeks with no delay anything else about the payment can be found on the model page.
