    Default i think im finally gonna attempt to cam

    Im in the final month of work before i head out for travel over the summer and I am a pretty burned out ornery dancer which as of lately, has been making it difficult for me to get myself into work.

    Ive read through some threads on here.... considering i have never cammed before the advice on here is pretty overwhelming.

    It seems like livejasmin is the easiest to sign up for. i have been going through a few sites' free chat sections to see what girls do, and it seems like a lot of them kind of just sit there... from dancing i have pretty awesome body language which i think could help. although typing instead of using my voice would be weird.

    my question... looking at what these girls offer, personally there is no way i am going to do anal and i am not really comfortable using a dildo or something on camera. it seems like almost every thing i read on there offered these. reading through sections on here it sounded like there are a couple of sites that offer non-nude camming (camwithher and onhercam) but it sounded like they had low earning potential... do you think livejasmine could work for at least not doing hardcore stuff? i think i can deal with nudity, but i dont want to do anything hardcore.

    also, in the private chat, i am assuming there is sound?

    and from what i read it seems like an avg day is 150 ish? this is lower than i am used to, but if it is something i can do during hte day (when i am usually unproductive anyway) in supplement to what i make at night thru dancing that would be wonderful. i have a pretty high goal for what i want to make in the first 3 weeks of may and i am not sure i can accomplish it thru dancing alone, esp since the busy season is at its tail end here.

    sorry if these questions are stupid and answered a lot on here... going thru all the info on here is a pain in the ass (i am doing it though). i am hoping the fact that i have answered a million stupid questions in the stripping sections over and over again will make you guys a little bit more forgiving.

    and if you dont want to retype but have some links stored in your subscriptions that you would find particularly helpful to a beginner... posting those links would be super appreciated too.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    I don't do anal and I don't find that it greatly affects my money. And you can use your voice in both free and private chat, you don't have to type.
    I think it's certainly possible to make a lot of money without doing anything hardcore, especially if you are willing to do fetishes. I personally have never tried marketing myself as non-hardcore but I'm sure someone in this section will have more advice about that. Good luck!

    Why is it affecting your money? My anal shows sell like mad........but I fake it. It's all about camera angles. Search the threads for faking anal threads. I think the're like 2 or 3. Very easy to fake anal.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of webcam. I am really new to this too. My goal is to be able to quit my horrible day job too! I cannot stand working with assholes and if this picks up I will never have a power tripping boss again! I notice a lot of girls on here don't have toys or do anal either. I am not comfortable with those things yet and haven't had a great demand for them so... The best piece of information I have gotten is NEVER give away anything. As a dancer I'm sure your very savvy but these guys will stop at nothing to get you to give them a free show. Simply having a cigarette is a fetish and they will pay you for it so don't show shit for free! Well good luck!

    The money all depends on your regulars, your schedule, your cam quality and what you offer. Some nights I sign off after making 120ish and some nights the money is rolling in and I stay up well past what I want to stay up and walk away with nearly 400$. Just like the SC in that way.

    I do dildoes and no butts. The guys who want butt don't want me, not a big deal. If they ask, I just cheerfully say, "I don't do butts!" I find ways to make money. I kinda think that anal is almost like a fetish. Most guys don't want it, but the same amount of guys who want say, incest, or feet do.

    I DO find that there are LOTS of guys who want vaginal penetration. Many of them are fine with just fingers, but I dunno. You'll have to search threads for "non penetration" and stuff like that b/c I do do it so I can't tell you if they'd leave after asking, "do you have a toy?" and I said no. When I'm lazy I'll just use fingers and wait for them to ask for a toy, probably a little under half will ask and I'll use it.

    But there are lots of threads on it. CherrieBomb and MissEgo don't do toys, so they've probably chimed in with good advice on those threads.

    I don't think it is affecting my money, but it's not something I've ever done so I don't know if I'd be making more if I did do it. So I didn't want to give false information to Athena and say that i make exactly the same as other camgirls. I do know how to fake, I fake penetration all the time. Anal just isn't something I'm comfortable offering, even if it's fake. Everyone has their hangups and boundaries.

    the only thing I'd add is that livejasmin is really not a great site, even though it has an easy sign up. I think it's very very difficult to earn good money there, when compared with other sites. As you are a dancer maybe MFC would be a good place for you? Otherwise, probably Streamate is the best bet.

    It's a matter of personal choice, and you can't really focus on the dollar amount of others make because it is very individual.

    if your not comfortable with anal or even nudity, then you have to try camming and see what results come up for you.

    for me anal is not an issue, let alone being nude on my own bed covered in lube.

    I don't recommend livejasmin, but that is based on alot of people not having good success on that website. you might do well on there and ignore everyone who doesn't there are about 20 top sites out there so you have to find where you do well.

    It's pretty simple if you can't make at least $2500 a month from camming then there is something wrong. $2500 can be done on full time or part-time hours, but I think everyoue should aim for that goal every month then if you are able to make more then great.

    I think dancers are made for myfreecams. Especially if you don't want to dildo or anal. You can just do oil and showers and hitachi and dance your ass off.

    If you do a pay to play site you should make your privates full of your glorious strippuh style floorwork because it's excellent for extending and drawing out privates. Just as good as dirty talk if you ask me!

    thanks for the advice.... after some more research i think live jasmine is a bad choice.

    i watched a lot of MFC free cams yesterday... from what i gather on here and from the cameras i watched its much more of an anything goes type of environment and a lot of girls try to garner tips in free chat instead of hustling privates. i saw one girl getting a fair amount of tips... she was topless and kind of taunting the people posting and seemed to be getting more tips than most. i could see myself doing that.

    streammate i was initially opposed to because of them recording your stuff and saving it. i guess they go on tube site? i sitll need to consider this.

    as far as i can tell mfc and streammate will let anyone iwth a camera sign up... do some of the other sites have standards like SCs do? and how picky are some of them? in terms of SCs i can get hired at most clubs, but there are a few that would turn me down due to tattoos (im actually gonna put makeup on my most distinctive tattoo for cam because i dont want ppl to read it) and some that would tell me to lose a few lbs then return.

    and how long does it typically take to get approved for these sites? also is it an issue that my drivers liscense is from another state than i currently live in? and my pic on the liscense is like 2 yrs old... so i have short blue hair and pale skin vs. the tan blonde that i am now.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    i think i could deal with penetration with fingers... although up close might be past my comfort level.

    i would maybe be ok with toys sometimes... can you have separate rates for toy shows?

    and dirty talk is very awkward for me. hah, this is going ot be an experience. i am so used to at work (dancing) spending most of my time talking and telling funny stories. i guess this is going to take a lot more acting than dancing does for me.

    Don't ever do anything if you're uncomfortable with it. Don't do anal if you don't want to do anal. However, anal and vaginal penetration can be fakes. Search the threads here.
    LJ sucks. Don't sign up there. I recommend streamate, cams.com, etc for newbie cam girls. You can always create profiles on many different sites, try them out, and find the one or ones you love.
    There is definitely no average that each of us makes. You have to see what YOU make. A non-nude cam girl might make way less than a hardcore cam girl. A BBW might make way more than a hardcore girl. The $ you make will reflect what you offer (hd, sound, anal, fetishes, etc), what site you work on and how many sites, if you sell content, if you work enough hours, etc.
