    Default Just getting started...lots of questions

    Hey everyone,

    So I'm about to start camming within the next few days, and I have multiple questions/ concerns. I tried to do it a year ago and only lasted a week. I got impatient and decided to work at an actual strip club. At the time I didn't have any other source of income, but right now I have a part-time job as a waitress. Anyway...I'd like to do it right this time. So here are my questions:

    1. Is it better to cam for a few different sites to maximize your earning potential? Right now I'm signed up on ImLive and am also in the process of signing up on Streamate (may take some time since I don't have a printer and I really don't plan on going to the library to print out those forms :-p) I'd also like to know if there are any other good sites to work for out there.

    2. My restaurant work schedule varies from week to week, which will make it hard to put a set schedule on my cam sites. I've thought about making a twitter (never used one before). Is there a way I can let customers know when I'll be on through that? Also... my camming twitter account is signed up in the same email address as my personal facebook. Will people on facebook somehow be able to find my cam twitter? (I don't need all my friends knowing i'm a cam girl, thanks)

    3. What's the best way to establish what you will and won't do on cam? I'm really not into doing anything that involves sticking things in my ass, inserting random objects in my orifaces, being treated like a dirty whore, etc. I may be camming for money, but I'm still a classy lady. I'm trying to go for the whole girlfriend experience thing i suppose. Is there a market for that?...or are all guys just dirty perves that want to watch girls do horrible disgusting things on cam?
    Well, I think that's about it for now.

    The first thing I would do is set up a completely new e-mail just for camming or any other "adult" stuff you might do and never never ever use your personal email address for anything work related. For streamate the guys do have an option to request sms notification when you come online; so you can suggest that but you can also post the link to your cam site on twitter every time you are going to sign on and add a little teaser about what you are wearing or what you are doing for that show. I started by just picking one site because I work retail and have the same flexible schedule so I figured I'd need to really put as much time as I could into one place to really figure out how it worked before I dabbled in other sites and more multi-tasking. Streamate at least for me is really a site for "regulars" and if I spend too much time away from the site or even just away during a regular's usual sign in time I tend to lose them as returning customers so I try to be somewhat regular in my hours there; I don't go more than 2 or 3 days without working and I try to always be on between 1 and 3; some nights I can do earlier some nights later but at least the guys know they can get me between those hours.

    As for your limits just be honest and yes there is a market for the girlfriend type of experience. I started sort of hoping it would be mindless stripping I wouldn't have to think about but my personality is fairly warm and I'm open and nonjudgmental so I sort of just slipped into the more girlfriend experience type of work. The bulk of my money as of right now is made off of 30 minute sessions with regulars who want me to strip slowly; usually ask me to lead; are always concerned I have orgasms (some even sit to watch me finish when they are done) and most of them want to sit and have pillow talk afterwards. I've always been a listener and the mother hen of my group of friends so I think my personality sort of just opened me up to being paid to be everyone's mother and therapist so just realize if you want the girlfriend thing you're gonna have to do the emotional work for it. Sometimes it is way easier to just sit and shake my ass for a dozen strangers for a half hour than it is to listen to some young college kid babble on about all his sexual insecurities and how to talk to girls or why he thinks he'll fail mid-terms. The emotional stuff can take as much of a toll as the physical stuff so just keep that in mind and always stick to your guns because they will try to trick you or guilt you. Your profile reads no anal but 5 minutes into a session they say oh please do it just for me i know you're a dirty girl and you'll like it and you think well they already paid right? Wrong it's their own fault if they chose to waste money on a girl who has clearly advertised she won't do what they want; just remember that's their own arrogance or stupidity and it's not your obligation.

    1. For now, stick with one or two sites. See how they go. If they don't go well, try another site!

    2. Try at least being on similar times. Like Tuesday 3 - 7 one week and then 5 - 9 the next week. Kinda like that. But get a DIFFERENT email address and use that for all your adult work! That's what I do. One "porn" email, the other personal email.

    3. But it in your profile! And when asked, just say no. Mention in your profile what you WILL do. I really need to update my profile to include this
    Oh and yeah there are a lot of guys that want everything dirty ... but you DON'T have to do it! There will be guys that still like you, no worries!

    Thanks so much!

    These answers helped a lot.

    One more thing... I don't plan on telling anyone I'm doing this other than one or two close friends. I live in a small gossipy town, so it's just a bad idea all around. Anyway...what do you tell people when they ask how you pay the bills or why you're always so busy?? People know I work part-time at a restaurant, but that's only making around $160 a week. I feel that people may get suspicious...

    I tell people I do data entry for a photography company and I do some of the work at home. Data entry is boring. Who wants to talk about it? No one asks questions lol.

    Oh yea... I'm very much aware of the patience thing. I'm filling out the forms for Streamate, and I noticed that they want your SSN. Has anyone else given it? Can you leave that out?
