    Thumbs up Hey just want to introduce myself =)

    Hey and thanks for reading
    My name is Nathalia...
    First off before anything I would just like to say that I am beyond grateful for this awesome site!! I am brand new to camming and I've never known anyone personally who does it so I was kinda lost and was just google-ing questions I had...until I came across this site =) You guys have answered a lot of my questions so far lol
    So I recently started webcamming on LiveJasmin (i know i know everyone says how horrible it is so I will most probably switch to another site...maybe stream mates ?)
    To be honest I have been thinking about doing this for about a year lol Didn't actually start until a couple weeks ago. I know I have heard people say that LJ is really bad but I have also heard some good...so just wanted to try it out for myself. I finished the promo period last week. Honestly I don't have a schedule yet but I know I need and should have one. And I've gone online for about 3 hrs at a time...just to kinda ease my way into it lol So far I feel I may have 2 regulars cause they really loved my show, I was honest with them and we had really good conversation. Plus they said they would def be back to see me again. My longest private was about 39 min and I believe I made about 32 bucks (which I don't think is bad lol). Thats the most I've ever made in less than an hour in my life!! Although I was probably online for about 1 or 2 hrs before that.
    I was having problems with my camera freezing since I was using an old computer and it hardly had any free space left in it. Yesterday I finally bought a Mac so the cam should definitely be a lot better now. I know I lost out on at least 3 or 4 privates cause the guys said my cam kept freezing. Although I did send them a message letting them know I didn't forget about them and my cam quality should be much better now.
    Soooo what do you think? Should I maybe stick with LJ and see where it takes me or just go to another site? Plus I heard LJ takes forever to pay and I def need money ASAP lol

    sorry this post totally went longer than I thought lol

    Welcome Nathalia!


    I felt the same way you did when I first joined....It is great to have a community of ladies to talk to about "industry" stuff without being judged and they really know where you are coming from..lol There are many great intelligent and positive ladies here who are here for the same reasons. There is lot's of Great Information and Advice here...in most of the sections....Cam Connection, other Work, and Stripping areas....I always like to keep as many other opportunities open as possible.....I would say read, read, read....even the old threads has Great advice that can be used.....

    Sometimes if you have a question, searching with the keywords of your question may give you a faster answer too...and if all fails just ask and someone will answer...=)


    I would also say it is better to keep as many options open while you are seeing what works for you. There are threads here that list every legit site and tells you the pros and cons of each .....Some girls do wells on other while others do not and vice versa.
    The best thing is to apply to all or most of the legit sites and see which one works for you. The best site does not mean it will best for all girls. A girl may do very well on a site most people think sucks so you never know..=)

    Also I would say diversify and mix cam up with many other options such as selling content, going Indy, etc.....


    Also there are both adult and non adult gig one can do from home as well, that may or may not pay as well as cam so also look into those for multi-tasking while you are working......


    Just remember there is so much you can do, just stay positive and think outside the box and stay productive ...and you should be good! Welcome!

    Holy shit, you got long privates and possible regulars on LJ just starting off? You are burning it up!!! LJ is not a bad site at all, contrary to what many say. Each individual is different, so you have to take that into consideration when choosing a site. It's best to experiment with one site for at least a month, working 25 hours a week or more, before determining if the site is your calling.

    **** My post was entirely too long so I edited it.

    I also wanted to add that I make $ on the site I work for because of my body specifics. I am in my 30's and my body type and other criteria is rare for my age. Not only that, but I have a deep southern accent.

    So for example, I advertise my accent and people love to hear me talk lol, so I learned to only offer voice in private chat. Yes I talk like a total hick, I personally hate it and I have been self conscious of it my entire life, but people love it, and it pulls men to my private chats.

    Find what gives you an advantage. You may be self conscious of one of your personal qualities but everyone else may love it! Crazy, I know. Just work it - stand out from the other girls, and this could be as much as your personality and not necessarily your goodies.

    Don't worry about your computer freezing and all of the crazy things that happen, it happens to us all!

    Good luck! and have fun with it, you are doing great!

    Hi hi

    yeah, if livesjasmin is working out for you that's great. I'd add in another site as well - I personally would never just work on one. Depending on how many hours/days you cam for maybe do a couple of hours on one and a couple on another

    Wishing you continued success!

    Hello! We're in the same boat I'm new two, and started on LJ last wednesday. Though I didnt much like LJ as a site and struggled with it, if its working for you great! I got a bit disheartened that when the promo finished I couldnt get a Pvt to save my life. I was getting hour long ones when I was at the 98cents rate, then it took me about 3 days to even make another 10$. So I found this site though google and asked some questions.
    I've been on MFC since Monday an made twice as much as I did on LJ with less hours chattin in free chat. I'm havin alot more fun dancing about n generally being a goof. Plus I've been doin Pvt skype shows an gettin paid directly for them cuttin out the middle man. I think I will try stream mate too eventually. I'm liking MFC so much that I don't actually want to log back on LJ to hit the minimum, I think I'm at 75$ or somet close. I also found out they cut off on the 15th and don't pay u till the 10th of the next month! MFC cut off the 15th n pay u the next day, take less of a cut themselves too.
    If you ever wanna chat msn or something, 1 newbie to another Im online almost every night

    Heyyy again...thanks everyone else for the welcome...

    Btw Lusty Laken I am also in my 30s lol I love the age I am though and very grateful for my 20s but I don't know if I would want to go back lol

    I have never ever done anything like this before..well actually I did a foot fetish video once with an ex but that was like 11 years ago lol but thats the most I've ever been on a camera.
    And yes for my age I look wayyy younger...The average age I get is around 23-25..sometimes younger but I think thats pushing it lol It's got to be the genes because I really don't do anything special..well I drink a lot of water thats all i drink really...and yes I eat lol I really love all kinds of food.

    and Bella85 yes I would totally like to chat or whatever..or maybe I can send u a message on here first lol or vice versa

    ok thanks again everyone =)

    Welcome, Nathalia!

    I am still new in this business too. Not even 3 months yet. I can't say I looove it, but it is not a bad way of making money. I know I wouldn't make this kind of money working any regular job, and I like to be able to work from home and to choose if and when I am going to work.

    I never worked on LJ but, as everyone said, different sites work for different people. You really have to try out a few and stick with the one(s) that work for you.

    I wish you much luck in the business.
