    Default Why do girls wbcm model rather than strip?

    Hi everybody! I am a 20 year old college student who is supporting her education/rent through webcam modeling but I would like to transtion to stripping if I can make more money : ) I started becuase I didn't want to live with my aunt and commute 50 min/day to school, and my grades were falling becuase my aunt is very mentally instable and would yell at me, etc so got my own apartment and started webcamming to pay for it. So far it's been a blast, but I keep thinking stripping might be better for me (healthwise and financial-wise?)

    If I was you, I would try stripping just for couriosity,but I would stay camming, take more breaks for eyes, and maybe move to another place where you can cam quietly...
    Unfortunatly I can't answer most of your questions because I am not american...


    Think that from stripping i would like to switch into camming but it is difficult as stripping takes mosty of my time, so it is hard to build the clientele camming...

    You are at the cusp where you may make more stripping than camming. No way to tell, unless you go in and actually do it. One big difference; in cam, the customers come to you. In stripping YOU go to them, so you have to learn to hustle.

    -Being petite is fine, guys love spinners.
    -In a large metro area, you should be able to beat those cam $$ figures. So long as you know how to talk to men and close a sale!!! Search SW for pointers!
    -Some clubs set hours, some dont.
    -Costs are more for clubs, Nightly housefees, tipping, and you will need more outfits. But if you can make sales, this should be fine.
    -No matter what your size, never leave the club alone. Valet park, or tip a bouncer to walk you to your car.
    -If there is no smoking inside, it shouldnt be too bad. Usually the other dancers are the smokiest. Try not to spend too much time in the dressing room.

    I worked at an office once, alongside a girl who was having a terrible time with her eyes from looking at the computer all day. She got a note from her eye doctor, and the company paid for some sort of special screen she had to get for her computer. I'm not sure what it was called, but if you asked your eye doctor, I'm sure he would know.

    it depends on what city you live in. i live in a major city too- los angeles- but the strip club culture suckkks here. there are a surplus of clubs and the not enough of a demand for it so a lot of the clubs are dead and or flooded with extras girls.
    cities like new york, san francisco, and vegas are good for stripping in my experience. chicago might be good too just because there are only 3 clubs in the city. we cant tell you how much you can expect to make because it really depends on you and the club you work at.

    if youre only gonna be working two days a week you can probably get away with limited wardrobe. in fact i notice a lot of girls often seem to wear the same exact outfits almost every day. ive also worked at certain clubs with no makeup on and still made money. the lighting in stripo clubs is super forgiving to the point that it pisses me off because i know i could make so much more money if people could see how many wrinkles and blemishes the other girls have haha. one good pair of shoes is enough to get you started too. they cost around 40-70 bucks.

    most clubs that arent dive bars have the security walk you out to your car. i think being worried about being raped is a little ridiculous, personally. i have never in my life worried about randomly getting raped. it just doesnt happen as often as people want to believe it does. date rape is another story.

    and the heels are a lot less painful than normal heels. strip clubs usually have carpetted floors and the platforms on the heel make you have less impact with the ground. i usually work 6-12 hours. some girls only work 4. in a super busy club like in vegas yes my feet will hurt but the money is worth it. at a dead club, i can work 12 hours and my feet wont hurt since ill spend most of my time just waiting for customers to come in.

    very few customers smell of smoke when i dance in a state where smoking is not allowed indoors.
    no the bank wont necessarily be suspicious. i always depost via atm to avoid weird looks. the government DOES see everything you deposit though. i personally report all my taxes and if you dont want to go to jail you should too. im guessing you dont make much because i personally pay 30-40 percent in taxes. 15 percent is loowwww i wish i only had to pay that much haha.

    time spent getting ready depends on you. i can be ready in ten minutes. some girls glam themselves up and take an hour or two. you dont need to be super glam to make money, but if thats your look and persona you want to play up then its better if you do.

    1) I don't see that being a problem, a lot of guys like small girls. And it's no big deal if they can't see your face from afar, they can always get closer.

    2) As far as money is concerned, being in a large metro area doesn't really matter. It depends on WHERE you are. If for example your in south FL I wouldn't suggest dancing. Lots of extras and no money from what I hear. I live in a big metro area too and well it seems that average for a dancer working 3 nights a week around here is 1k a week or 4k a month.

    3) Shift for a dancer is usually 5-7 hours. And the shoes really aren't that painful. Much more comfortable than regular heels! What is nice about the shift is that you really aren't working the whole time. You are sitting talking the majority of the time or at my club I'd spend a lot of time in the dressing room chatting with the girls. I know when I'm camming I feel like if I'm online for 3 hours I'm busting my ass the entire time.

    4) As far as expenses go, I'd definitely recommend stripper heels which will run you 40-50. And I hate to recommend this because I personally think it's tacky but a lot of girls wear matching bra and panties from Walmart. Some girls even wear bathing suits. But if dancing is something your serious about I'd suggest getting some actual dancer outfits which will run you about 20-40. You would only need 2-3 outfits a night to get started. House fees depend on the club and come out of what you made that night so I wouldn't worry about that.

    5) Bouncers usually always walk the girls out. Don't work anywhere that they don't!

    6) It wasn't often that a guy completely reeked of smoke unless he literally just came inside from smoking. Just keep your face at a distance and you should be fine.

    7) I don't use anything like that so can't help you with this question.

    The majority of the strippers don't pay taxes but they technically should. If your making cash and don't plan on paying taxes try not to deposit much of it into your bank account. If you claim you made nothing for the year but deposited 50k into your bank account that looks kind of funny. Use cash for whatever you can. But if you have to make deposits 1k isn't a large deposit so that won't get funny looks. Apparently over 5k raises a red flag.

    9) Including a shower it takes me roughly an hour to get ready.

    Hope that helped some Don't forget to factor the cost of driving to work. Gas prices are pretty high right now so you should keep that in mind too unless your club is down the street.

    Also FYI: 100 pounds isn't especially tiny for a stripper; I was 110 myself when I danced and I knew many girls that were even 92-97 pounds (5ft 2 and under) You should wait till you're 21; I don't know what city you are in but you should investigate on the stripping part of SW. You do sound like a very delicate and fragile type girl; you NEED to have a selling hustle to strip nowadays unless you want to be an extras girl. Please also consider you will need to get a very THICK skin because of catty girls and a general cut throat strip club environment. But perhaps the biggest thing you must consider is the amount of TOUCHING that goes on in strip clubs, I went the opposite direction myself from stripping to camming and I can tell you it is the biggest relief not to be touched anymore!!! Yeah people will say that you can tell guys not to touch..umm not if you want them to get more dances from you..more on this in the stripping threads.

    I would probably never strip. I like camming because I don't have to see anyone (besides cam2cam but its easy not to look at) and because I don't have to have anyone touching me. Also I like camming for convenience and safety Also because some nights I can get drunk out of my mind and not have to worry about making it home lol

    I don't strip anymore because:

    1. I got burned out
    2. I moved to a town where stripping is over saturated
    3. I moved to a town where the standard is 8 hour shifts (6 is usually my max)
    4. I moved to a town where clubs stay open until 4am (too late for me, I get sleepy)
    5. I moved to a town where dances are done standing up only (my feet were killing me)
    6. I don't like having to drive to work and pay for gas or drive home intoxicated
    7. I don't like paying house fees to work and STILL give a percentage of my dances
    8. I don't like being touched or solicited for sex on the regular
    9. Once the recession hit, strippers in my town felt it bigtime
    10. The smoke began giving me headaches
    11. I wound up drinking too much

    ... and I fell in love with camming because:

    1. No more driving to work
    2. No more 8 hour shifts
    3. No more standing up dancing in those killer shoes for hours on end
    4. No more paying up front to work
    5. No more being touched
    6. I get to be creative in a myriad of ways
    7. Fetishes are SO much more fun than vanilla
    8. Nobody knows automatically what town I'm in
    9. I work when I want to, any time of day or night
    10. I can earn passive income when I'm not even working (impossible as a stripper) **this is actually the #1 benefit to camming**
    11. With my USB internet stick and netbook I can take vacations whenever, wherever I want and still work **this is the second most important benefit for me**.
    12. Exposure to an unlimited amount of potential customers from all over the world (vs. only local clientele)
    13. IGNORE FETISH
    14. AMAZON WISHLIST
    15. Paypigs

    The end.

    Default Re: Why do girls wbcm model rather than strip?

    Im still pretty new to the webcam game. Ive made more money stripping so far, but ive also done it longer.

    Stripping has the satisfaction of getting money right away. Thats the biggest pro.

    However, stripping is harder bc u walk in the club and have no idea if a guy is gonna like u or not. The biggest con is the housefee. You have to pay to work and u will have nights u go home in the negetive or zero. Gas money, the heels, outfits, obeying local/state laws, club laws.....i swear if i make more $$ camming i may never go back lol!!

    Camming has the cons of waiting for your money, making small amounts of money at a time, a camsite taking too much of ur money....

    Camming has more freedom than stripping. You can be yourself, do what u wanna do, wear what u wanna wear all the time, and eventually go into business for yourself. Easier to work on multiple sites than multiple clubs.

    I enjoy doing both now, it really helps w burnout. I think girls should hustle more than one source of income, best way to become successful. I dont believe in putting all ur eggs in one basket.

    I tried both but definitely prefer camming. It's a lot less intimidating to me because the guys that like me come to my room and become regulars which is a lot easier. I also like the freedom of it. I don't have to drive to work or have a schedule, any of that which I find really convenient.

    I don't strip, currently because I now live in a city where the cost of a license is incredibly expensive ($500+), initially and seems to go up in cost every year! Coming out of strip cities like Portland, San Fran and Tumon (Guam), that kind of fee to start up just seemed like a sucker move. Plus paying stage fees and tipping out! Also, after dancing so long, I just hate dealing with the politics of the club and management. SoCal is the worst for that. I opted to risk spending a fair amount of money on a new computer and to invest my time in camming. I can't believe, sometimes, how well its all worked out. I agree with literally EVERY point Shelly Connors posted.

    At this point, I'm doing much better financially, then I was when I first moved to this city and I'm vaguely considering getting the license to dance at a club, just blocks of me. More out of boredom and I'm also saving up for a house. I'm still really cautious about fees to start up and fees to dance. I'll probably spend some time at the bar I hope to get hired at and ask some more questions of the managers before I take the plunge.

    I haven't danced in a while, but, one thing I HATED (besides what was mentioned) was guys pawing my hair. Invariably, it would get caught on their hands. Eek.

    Stripping in my area SUCKS. Like sitting around the club for 6 hours with one customer and 15 desperate girls. And unfortunately every club in my area is like that. I would have to drive at least an hour or so to mayyyybe find a decent club, and it would still be major hit-or-miss. Camming is more money for me, maybe if i lived in a better area for stripping I would get back into it.

    Why not do both? I find that I can cam for a few hours a few days a week and then dance just the peek days at my club. It has helped me maximize my potential income and kept me so much more sane than just doing one or the other. One of the major stressors for me in the club is that once you walk in the door, in most cases they will not let you leave until the end of your shift and therefore I will frequently talk myself out of going into the club because it *might* be a slow night. I find if I make a couple hundred on webcam during the day I am actually more likely to go dance because a couple hundred from cam and a bad night is still good money, and that is the worst case scenario. You know what they say, an object in motion tends to stay in motion.
