    The come up will be slow and you will need to promote yourself to get a fanbase who will sit through you uh...not getting naked on an adult site. Bear in mind that you will be on a porn xxx site with girls pissing in cups, fucking walls, shoving their foot in their ass, spraying fake female ejaculates at the screen, etc. So the cam square of you being pretty but PG13 will be next to some very tough very graphically erotic competition.

    Girls who bank on non-nude on are online a LOT, promote a LOT, and have to have a heavy dosage of customer service skills. The girls who do non-nude non-fetish are fcking genius entrepreneurs

    Too many girls claim to be non-nude and hope to god that that doesn't make them a 100% cam girl, but you're still on a porn site. You'll still be an oogly googly child-eating sex worker. The mainstream does not differentiate between an escort and a Domme, it does not differentiate between a softcore porn star and double DP gangbang porn stars, and it def does not differentiate between a non-nude cam girl and a nude cam girl. I'm just saying

    (I have to say though that MissEgo gets my props because she never does the whole 'I cam but I don't CAAAAM' thing, and she still banks as non-nude. Girl hustles and still contributes here really well & never talks down: Gets my utmost respect)

    And you can *usually* get your videos removed - but if the servers are not in the US, the site owner is a douchebag*, and/or its on one of those STUPID forums where you need to post to earn enough 'points' to view pirated content: no, it won't get removed. I have content that is still free and available because of of these reasons. Please look up 'dmca' and copyright law internationally... and look for posts where girls find their videos for the first time (and the accompanying hysteria, anger, or complacency).

    MFC is also really saturated... there are many profiles on there whose last login was ages ago. So if non-nude is what you want your persona to be, you HAVE to stick with it.

    OP I'd strongly suggest you spend more time deeply reading this forum.If you have motivations, interest, or knowledge base already that is guiding your interest - let us know.

    For now, read until your eyeballs bleed.

    I thought I would add this:

    10 ways to lose your nursing license

    Believe it or not – it happens. Just this last year, a nurse in Pennsylvania got her licensed revoked because she was hosting her own pornographic website. This most likely falls under “Unprofessional Conduct,” and it’s easy to chuckle at. But with today’s advancements in technology, and the widespread range of the internet, nurses who use their webcams to do a little work on a side may find themselves without a job.
    When they say pornographic website I'm not sure if they meant camming, but I thought I would throw this out there.

    If you have some sort of medical license and if you're caught somehow, it can get reported to the state board. It can get suspended, revoked, or you could get fined due to "unprofessional conduct".

    - Because even if you are happy to tell all your friends, your family....you may find that they don't want to tell theirs. And it still stings me when friends or partners (or even my brother in law) tell people that I am "between jobs" or "doing a bunch of stuff" or even MAKE STUFF UP. Judgement. So much judgement.
    - If you don't have another job, be prepared to either lie, or be stopped crossing the border. Every. Damn. Time.
    - If you intend to have kids, bear in mind that if you are outed (and we have all said this - assume you will be. Assume you will be on the internet for all eternity), you may be affecting THEIR lives. Prudish parents not wanting their kids to come to your house, teasing, bullying. All of that. Plus in the case of a custody battle, this will fuck you over.
    - Renting apartments is hard when you are self employed (At anything, let alone at sex industry work) and you can get serious neighbor hate if you are outed.
    - Self employed - means that getting a loan or a mortgage is harder, and usually needs a bigger down payment. Again, this isn't just sex work.

    Obviously, if you are doing this part time, or really short term, some things (like credit, telling border patrol what you do, renting apartments, etc) doesn't apply so much.

    But being outed is always a possiblity. And it's not just about RIGHT NOW - if you are 20 yrs old and considering it, you probably don't care if your college friends find out. Few girls think about what will happen if they are outed in ten years. In twenty. In thirty. Think about it, because once it's up there, it ain't gonna go away. Oh - and even if you are doing "non-nude" don't kid yourself that people will be more generous about it. As far as the vanilla masses are concerned, camming = porn. No matter what.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    These are the things no one tells you about, these things add to the reasons it is so exhausting. It is easy when you first start because you are so excited, full of energy and tell yourself, I will NEVER get tired of this it is awesome (a lot of the time it can be awesome don't get me wrong), but then a few months of doing this as sole income it hits you.... my mind went blank from being a broken record, frustrated with equipment and lighting, so tired of caking makeup on to hide scaring, trying to see what they are typing while they ask you to turn around thus becoming a pretzel, I have lost lovers, friends, and stopped telling people what I do, and after 11 months of doing this as my sole income, on the first page of SM, I can barley bring myself to get on cam anymore...... My lord I am in a foul mood!

    I am all for webcamming and I will continue, just wish I could muscle through the tiredness more. I Bless the women who have more stamina than me and can do this everyday, wish I knew how you do it.

    For me I noticed I was talking long breaks. So long that I practically ate through my savings so I didn't have to cam. My final time on cam is usually when one too many members push to meet for a fuck. It's annoying having to broken record a " I do not escort". Then I just somewhat loose it and sit in free chat breaking down how I would never fuck anyone on this bitch. Lately I have been fine , sure I get annoyed but I've managed to watch movies or shows while I cam. Netflix and any site where I can watch my favorite shows has kept me sane. It's like for a moment I'm not thinking about money just enjoying my own company and the fun entertainment. Before long someone tips something after I've practically ignored every dumb question posted in my room. Now they have my attention and I then start to work. Other days I just continue to close the room on the guys that are camped out in there , wait 10 mins then log back in. Refreshing the room has also refreshed my mindset as well. It's like I'm doing a debug and starting anew.

    Even some of my tippers have gotten quite annoying. They tip $1 and wait around for 30 mins hoping someone will pitch in for something they want. I thank them and go back to my "schedule programming" because I already know their plan. They eventually leave and I clear their tip and wait for the next guy. Rinse and repeat. I think the thing I forget is to clear tips after a member leaves. I always have the cheap fucking loser that comes in and tips $4 and expects some dildo show to spring into action when $46 came from a guy that just love to hear me giggle and has long since left 30 minutes prior.

    Oh I thought for sure, NO one I know would ever find me... so naive - SOMEONE will eventually find you, especially the more popular you get. I have 2 people find me from my previous employer and a boyfriends ex wife (WITH geoblock on)- It mortified me to the point I couldn't cam for days until i got over each one.

    1. If you're not really comfortable with your body and your sexuality, sex work probably isn't for you.
    - You WILL get trolls who will insult you, and it's pretty important to actually not care. People are going to look down on you and treat you like you don't matter because of your work

    2. If you have trouble with customer service, or staying positive, probably not for you.
    - This is a customer service job. Being negative or rude to people is just wasting your own time. You won't make as much money.

    3. If you can't be honest with the people around you about camming, maybe not for you.
    - People WILL find out. No matter how hard to try to hide it, your nude image is on the internet forever. Don't do this if you can't live with everyone finding out, because they probably will.

    4. If you have bad work ethic, maybe not for you.
    - You can only make as much as you work. Sticking to a regular schedule is key to making money, if you can't stay self motivated, you won't do very well.
    The only daddy issues I have are being confused by how many customers want me to call them 'daddy'.

    I wouldn't concern yourself so much about this, If you are here and doing this for a living.. I really believe it's for a reason and all the what if this happens and someone can find out 30 yrs later.. I just don't buy into. This is your life for a reason, and if you are contemplating consequences to begin with, you are truly not meant to be here , turn around and change course. This is just a detour you were never meant to be on..

    This is very true. But I really don't think any man is deciding to not become famous or powerful because he might not be able to marry a sex worker, you know?

    Some girl (or guy, I have no idea) popped into my room, during a gs countdown. He/she said, Would you recommend camming to someone? And I ignored it because I didn't feel like having that conversation with forty guys watching. Then followed up with, would you recommend it to someone with low self-esteem?

    No. No I wouldn't.

    You would be surprised...there is many of very public men who are or have been with camgirl/stripper/dom/adultmodel ....
