    Default really, really overwhelmed with starting camming

    i have read and read these forums. researched and studied. and now i am completely overwhelmed.

    i am not very good with understanding technology. so when i go on these sites there are all these things i can't seem to figure out.

    i registered with adultwork, downloaded their "justcamit" but how do I get started on getting customers? how much to charge? im lost

    also signed up with streammate, i have read though that many of you are not fond of them because of the payout. but it seems the traffic is good, which might benefit a newbie?

    MFC seems like it might not be great for a newbie because you have to use tricks of the trade so to speak more, and im at lost of how to even have a show?

    i wish there was a manual for this sort of thing. I bought a webcam that is in the mail it is a logitech HD pro-and can record, which i hope to use to put on my clips4sale site.

    i have been working doing bodyrubs for 9months, and would rather deal with men over the internet than in person. i have started promoting myself on twitter, youtube etc for my clips site, i hope that will help when i start camming. thanks for any advice ladies! or which direction to point me

    Regarding AW (the only site I'm on) make sure that they have approved you for webcam; you can check this by checking webcam box on your profile page. Then make sure to set your direct cam settings, by checking a box by free chat or not if you don't want to do that. PrincessJenny suggests to set your rates low at first till you get feedback =, I believe she said 1.19 for private and .99 for group (not 100% on that) When you are ready to do Direct cam Login to AW and set your availability as available now. Last step login to Justcamit and wait till someone requests a group or private or people just come into your room (if you offer free chat) Good Luck!

    How do you take people into pvt or group mode on AW, a guy just asked me to do a two way cam, does this mean i can just see him or does that mean going into pvt with him? Oh, its so confusing. Do most of the guys have audio cos i cant keep up with typing to the traffic, i`d rather just talk.

    I wouldn't recommend AW for someone new to camming as it is complex and takes longer to get your head around, in my opinion.

    MFC is easier than AW in terms of software, as to whether making money will be easy there, it's up to your personality. Some girls, that is their first and only site, and their personality suits it.

    You just have to give a few a try and see what works for you, but being overwhelmed by AW isn't a strange sensation lol

    I think SM will be a lot easier than AW from purely the point of view of understanding the system.

    When somebody wants a group or private, you will have a chat request pop up and you will have to click " accept" or something like that for the show to start. Once you accept the first person in group, everyone coming in later will just be able to enter your room, so you won't have to accept requests from every guy who is coming into group show. As for c2c, it depends on you will you offer it in group, private or even free chat (but why in free?). Sometimes guys will just bug you to look at them in free chat, I never do. When a guy is in show with you, right click on his username and you will see a dropdown menu, where one of the options is "start two way cam" or something.
    I don't know about audio, because I don't offer it.

    I'm a newbie myself and have been with SM for a couple of weeks. I've read on here that it was one of the easiest sites to start with and they were right. Yes they do record,but you can always disguise yourself. The traffic is fantastic. Everytime I log on,I find myself in back to back privates. Sundays seem to be the busiest day(at least for me). I've been able to walk away with a pretty good amount daily,so it is worth a try. Its your choice though. Also you should know that you can't block citys or states,but thats where the wigs and glasses come in

    Hi, welcome, & thanks for starting this great helpful thread! I feel the same way, kinda overwhelmed w/all the different things. I right now have a basic Logitech quick cam webcam for labtops. I am registered on a couple sites now, but haven't started. Partly b/c I feel a little down about a few things, missing someone who's passed on
    But anyway, thanks ladies it helps to read all your input.

    Thanks girls, I got so freaked by all the requestts and not knowing what to to do on AW, it was hard trying to type back to requests and keep up with all the others. Im currently pregnant so MFC isnt a great option, im on SM, but wanted to try and work AW cos of the dailypay, (the SM dailypay says registration closed for now) but i will persevere. I think i will only offer Cam2cam in group and pvt, and will try just audio with a pretyped txt message. Thanks, you guys are great xx
