    Dizzy Help deciding on doing this, and what sites to use, would be lovely!

    I've never done anything like being a camgirl before, but I recently landed on OHC yesterday, and thought it might be the perfect fit for me! I'm a very social person, and I'm very attractive, so I think I could get approved there. The only reason I'm considering going into this line of work is because I have NO money, and can't get a job anywhere. No one will hire me, and I've been applying for jobs for 2 years straight now.

    I have no idea what sites have a lot of traffic, or where I could make enough money, but currently I'm so broke I don't even have a home (I have about five dollars in my wallet, and have nothing else). I'm staying with my boyfriend, but he and I are on the verge of breaking up, so I really don't have time to keep failing with getting jobs. Do you girls have any ideas on good sites to use that are like OHC, because I don't want to have to be completely nude, and I don't really want to have to do too much masturbating for people! Tips and ANYTHING you wish you would have known before you started would be GREAT. I've read a few things, and I kind of know what to expect, but I'm really just confused and nervous about the whole thing.

    Thanks girls! I already love this site. You all seem so honest and helpful!

    Anything i wish i could have known beforehand -
    DON'T SPEND TOO MUCH TIME READING ABOUT WHAT OTHER GIRLS DO!!! Seriously, I love this forum, and the other great resources I've found, but in all honesty I was doing just great on the one cam site i started on. As you get more experience, and learn how to handle camming, it's good to start thinking about branching out and not putting all your eggs in one basket. But honestly, when you start, i think it's better that you concentrate on one site, work on building a regular following there, and learning the ropes.

    For everything else, you can find a whole BUNCH of information on this site. Just hit the search button

    Good luck, and welcome xx

    In a lot of ways I agree with MissKatie, but at the same time reading what other girls do is a really good way to get a feel for what camming is like.

    I'm only 4 days in but I spent 2 weeks just reading nearly every post on this site and studying girls on myfreecams. The fact of the matter is there's SO much variety and there are so many directions to take your cam career. You might stumble onto some things you never even knew about but would be great at just by clicking through other girls cams.

    I guess my biggest advice is the search button! I'm finding that camming is amazing, I've been unemployed for a year and now I've made $300 in 3 days - no masturbation. I can honestly say a lot of that is due to good preparation & knowing what to expect!

    Thank you, MissKatie and Cam_chick! I've been reading through these threads basically since I woke up now, and I already feel like I know so much just from this site! Just reading what girls have to say, or even complain about, is helping so much in understanding what to expect and whether I can handle this job I really think I'm going to go for it, because this honestly sounds like something I would fit into very well! Thank you girls for replying!

    I TOTALLY agree with this. It's great to research as much as you can before getting started, but I took it too far and ended up getting way too scattered with my time focusing on so many different sites at once when I got started. I didn't know what the hell I was doing yet, but I was already trying to dabble all over the place when I should've just stuck with 1 or 2 sites that were making me good money.

    Of course, if you get started and find that a site just sucks for you and you're making crap money, by all means move on and search for greener $ pastures until you find which site(s) work for you. Just don't do what I did, reading about other girls' impressive diversified camming portfolios, and try to work multiple cam sites, do clip sales, indy stuff, blogs, and all that jazz right out the gate. I made that mistake, then I'd feel overwhelmed and escape by spending too much time reading this awesome forum and not working. Eventually I was able to figure out my best $ site, my backup site, and my backup-backup site, but it took a while of experimenting with different days and times of day before I got to that point.

    Good luck!

    Which sites are you on right now, and would you recommend to someone who's never done this before? If I were to do OHC and another, what would be a good back up choice?

    This is a question probably better left unanswered, mainly because the site that works for one person can be totally awful for another and vice versa. It all depends on your personality, your preferences, whether you're looking for nude or nonnude (I do nude hardcore and fetish depending on the site), and it would be hard for anyone else to guess what might work for you.

    You pretty much have to figure out for yourself what works for you in terms of $. I would recommend trying OHC since it appealed to you, then see what you like/dislike about it, and check out the starting place for camgirls thread on here for links to the details on some of the main, reputable sites to see if you think they might work for you. The forum is great for searching the basics about specific sites and figuring out which sites might rip girls off, but there is no 'good' site for everyone.

    When I started camming in May, I lurked on here for a few months before I even joined, reading hundreds of threads, but I never asked any questions because I didn't want to seem like an ungrateful new person expecting them to hold my hand and most of my questions were answered by searching. I kinda regret being such a lurker now, because in doing so I felt like I got to know and like people on here really well, but I'm still unknown to them. Still, it made me stronger and a better businessperson in the long run to figure out for myself what my best sites were.

    If you want to start with nonnude though, you could search for threads on here about nonnude. Or try searching this forum plus something specific from google, because sometimes it's easier to find what you're looking for that way than using the search within the forum.

    Sorry for the tl;dr, hope that helps!

    Just be prepared to work. You don't log in and smile real big while people throw money at you. For the first week it might seem like that, but you're going to have to put in serious planning hours to keep those penises entertained without some masturbation material. As with any other part of this business, you have to be ready to be treated like a princess and a whore all at the same time.

    Have you thought about Stripping? It's more physical contact with the customer, but you can work at a topless place with "no" (minimal) contact. That's more where you would go to just get paid for smiling real cute. Of course, it's no walk in the park either.

    This industry demands a lot, it just seems easier if you love what you do, like me!
    Yes, I'm real.

    Thank you so much for this reply! I kind of knew that there were a lot of different options, and now I feel silly that I asked the question! I'll definitely keep looking around to find sites that would be good for me Thank you so much for giving such a long reply, it's good to know you actually cared enough to do so!

    Yeah, I've been reading around that a lot of girls sometimes don't really feel like working, but they get all dolled up anyway and see if they feel ready to do it after I've been thinking about how I would do that, and my times and everything, and I actually think I could love being a camgirl! I don't really want the physical contact at all with a customer, and I honestly don't feel that being a stripper would make me very happy. I've looked into it, and there are a lot of places around where I'm living, but I really just don't think I could get into that. I've looked at being a night club showgirl, too, but I just don't think being RIGHT THERE with a person would be ok with me, ya know?

    I've been looking into being a camgirl, and every time I do I feel more like that's something I would love to do and that I would have so much fun with I used to want to do that kind of thing ANYWAY, and now I'd be getting paid for it

    Am I wrong but I thought On Her Cam was not paying models. I think there is a thread on this. Many models not ever being paid.

    Where in Minnesota are you? While you are still figuring out your cam thing there is tons of places in the Metro here hiring for seasonal help like right now.

    Also since you said you do not want to be fully nude...you can be on any website you desire. Tell the guys you don't get nude. If they get mad then fuck them some other guy won't mind.

    I'm basically in Minneapolis right now! What places are hiring right now? I've been looking, but I've never had a job before, so I've been constantly turned down by every place I try.

    Thanks for letting me know about the On Her Cam paying issue! I'm going to look that up right now and see what's up with that, because I really don't want to be ripped off right off the bat

    Here's the thread about it, I still have yet to receive my pay from there! I would advise against working for OHC.

    Thanks for sending the link, I just read through a HUGE chunk of the thread! I really loved the fact that they were non-nude, and the fact that they seemed like such a fun site to use, and now I'm so worried That was the ONE site I was positive was for me, and now it's sounding like a major rip off! I'm so lost I know I want to get into this!

    Oh you should try the Doll House At Sex World the peep show place. I think there is another peep show place down on Hennepin Avenue. I know you have to masturbate or do whatever in those...but quick cash!

    Chaturbate is great because there's no approval process. Once you sign up you can start making money. Next pay period ends October 31st and funds will be paid by the 7th. Payments are in Check, Wire, Paxum and Payoneer.

    The site itself gives away over $11,000 to broadcasters every month with the hourly contest. Every hour they give $10 to the highest viewed room of the hour and 2nd place gets $5.00. There are 48 cash winners everyday. No limit to how many times you can win.

    Chaturbate also has tipping and each token is worth .05cents. In addition you can receive up to $1.00 for every free registration referred. If you have tons of followers on twitter and FB its easy money. The user does not need a Credit Card or e-mail address for you to get money.

    Thats 3 ways to make money all at the same time. No matter how you make you money it all goes to the same balance. Our top girl is making $1,500 a week. Stats for top 10 are public once you sign up.

    You dont have to get naked or show your face if you dont want to. I always tell the girls if you want to sing into your dildo dancing around in your pajama's and your having fun & ppl are tipping more power to you.

    If you have any questions feel free to hit me up.

    Sell pics/vids+hourly contest+tips!

    There are tons of helpful threads on here to help you choose the right site. You just have to search for them and then proceed to weed out the good from the bad. What may work for one person may not work for you, and vice versa. It's gonna take a lot of work to carve your path and figure out what you want to do, how you want to do it, and so on. But once you have all your ducks in a row ( lol yeah I said it), you're gonna have a blastie. It is a job, and a very rewarding one at that. Not many people have that!

    Good luck and lots of $

    That's one of my favorite things about this site I love that I can see what issues girls are having with each different site, how they decide which ones they like, and even how they handle this business I really think I'm going to fit in really well, and have a lot of fun doing so! And it's good to know that if I need help or to relieve stress I can come here!

    Aww, that's awful that OHC has been robbing people! You'd think with the big pay percentage sites already take that they'd be smart enough not to rip off the ones MAKING them the money, but I guess not. I hope you find a decent non-nude site, or something local, that will make you some good money soon!

    I'm hoping that very same thing! I have no idea why a site that seems so much more put together would be such a mess I was really sure of that one, and I'm kind of saddened to hear about how crappy the website actually is! Guess I'll have to keep looking!
