    Lightbulb Webcam Managers?

    Okay, I used the search function but didn't see anything...

    Are there webcam model managers? Like outside of studios...

    Are there veteren models who help out new girls at the beginning of their camming career, for instance, a veteren model who has maybe moved more to making content and doing affliate work? Someone who helps do profiles, give ideas and advice for working the sites, and does a little PR work to steer (paying) traffic to a new girls room?

    If not...well, someone could make a killing doing this.

    Maybe this was a silly question. I just had this random thought last night in a sort of half-drunk state. (Had to have a mommy break last night, and a strong drink - teething is killing us).

    Oh, I don't know how much I would be interested in paying...I suppose it would depend on what the manager was offering, how much my traffic and earnings picked up, what the contract was (length of time and what not), etc

    I just feel really overwhelmed. I really enjoy camming so far, but I just feel like I can't concentrate on all the aspects of it at once while I am just starting. I feel good on cam, enjoy talking and dancing, etc...but it is the traffic part that I am at a lose for. I am also in a fetish category (lactation) but I don't know how to capitalize on that. I feel bad for asking for free help and know that you ladies are busy and deserve something for the major help that I would want.

    i was just joking really...but u should not need someone to help send you traffic, thats what the websites cut is for..advertising (among other things..but u get what i'm saying)
    if ur not doing good on one site move to another. not every site works for every girl.

    Yep, a promo team, that is what I was getting at I guess. I am looking into other sites and trying to figure out what niche I am in, but I would love for someone to just say "do this, this, and a little bit of this". lol. Not laziness per say, I am willing to put in the leg work myself since I have no one to do it for me, but I would love to hand it over to someone for the right price. Make sense? Right now I am looking into (or have applied to) MGF, SM, and looking at AW as well.

    Though, if someone here does profiles and what not, let me know! I need to pimp out my MFC one...

    Its a lot about who you know. If you know the right people you can get a lot of stuff done or the right resources handed to you. But if you don't have that luxury you gotta go out and get it. It can make it harder but hey you working for yourself is free and save you lots of money =) I dont know anything about MFC or else I would help you hun. You have to focus on promoting yourself 24/7. Make a twitter that you are ALWAYS posting on and make lots of content so people can see you else where then hopefully follow you to MFC. You cant completely rely on MFC to promote you because they have hundreds of girls. It can triple how much you make if your really dedicated to putting yourself out there. Marketing is just as much if not more important that the services you offer. Some girls suck (in my opinion) but their ads and tweets are every where and they're easy to find

    I see girls offering this on twitter, unless they also offer graphic design & proven SEO optimization & have a recognizable name/image, I think (most) are full of shit.

    But I completely understand why people advertise their services, Im 100% sympathetic to anyone who does not want their time exploited. "Fuck you, pay me" is the freelancer anthem.

    You just started - and you're on sites that have pre-existing paying traffic, put in more legwork, research, and time. No one can teach you how to have an entrepreneurial spirit.

    One of my sex worker friends jokes that "some girls just need pimps" - I used to get all uppity whenever she said that but as time goes on.... idk, dont be that girl.

    Thanks so much. I am really trying to figure out how to promote like crazy. This is a little different than my other business (i make cloth diapering supplies and other holistic baby products) and the promotion needs a different (stronger) hand. I have to learn how to scream "Im awesome-check me out!" from the rooftops. Lol. You don't really have to do that with cloth diapers.

    also there are lots upon lots of info on this forum on how to, where to and who to promote to. you just gotta kinda know what you are looking for to find it. i know it is quite overwhelming when you first start, but you just gotta experience and get the feel of your own groove before you can really kick this in the ass.

    Yeah it helps to look up random stuff like I just found out how to watermark and edit my own video which can help and I take all f my own pics and videos so I usually dedicate a day or two out of the week to making new content instead of camming. I totally understand how its hard at first but we're all here for you and this forum and the months and months of experience have made me a way better cam girl. And I still have a shit load to learn. I know you'll do great and if you have any questions feel free to ask me or check the search bar. Best wishes!

    This is not the industry for having a manager. Maybe a studio, but not a manager. There's just so much YOU have to do & know ON YOUR OWN already that its pointless to have a manager. You'll need to know more or the same than they do anyway in order to be successful.

    Assistants on the other hand... that could be helpful! Most girls who run a paysite or major website have one. A boyfriend could always be of help too

    My boyfriend helps me out and i wouldnt want anyone else. When i started i was making about $50 a night. He convinced me to take off my geo restrictions, get up on my outfits, stick to a schedule( the best i can lol) and most important told me what guys really think and want for starters. Since he has been helping me, my income shot up to about $200 a day. I still give him hell sometimes i can be stubborn.

    There are a lot of pimps out there who want to exploit girls like u. U could end up a lot worse than when u started. I didn't know anything when I started cam this forum alone taught me a lot. Do ur research and work on big sites with lots of traffic. U can learn how to do everything by researching on your own. Do you, don't let someone else.

    I agree with what you all are saying. My husband would be an awesome "manager" and has been helpful so far. He sees my outfits before I go on and tweaks my responses to things that guys want to hear. I in turn get to tell him about crazy ass people that ask for crazy ass things - or I pass on stories from here....like "mak penty" for example. lol.

    I am on here everyday looking up things and lurking. I signed up for a couple of new sites - the one that is baffleing me at the moment is AW. I am going to stalk that thread tomorrow and try to get advice from it. Yay for research and the search function. lol

    ^^^I'm glad you came to that conclusion one of the things I've found HUGELY positive about the trial and error approach to finding one's 'place' in this biz, rather than relying on promotion teams, is that, for me at least, I grew into my current cam-chica self. I tried a variety of different strategies/site styles/techniques before I stumbled into what worked for me. But I doubt what I do now quite successfully would have been possible without all the other experiences I had getting here. And I doubt that I could have done then what I do now, without all the experience in between. At the time those experiences were frusterating as ALL hell, but from them I learned how to hone in on what did work for me. I don't know if someone else can do that for us, even a really close partner. You're just starting out...who knows what you'll stumble upon that you really love doing and make a killing at...whereas a promotions team by design tends to stream their talent into specific pre-designated categories. You thus can lose out on the benefits of exploration.
    I'd say assign your supportive guy some of the 'grunt-work', but leave the planning for each next step in your own hands. I'd wager you'll be better off long term with that strategy
    and have faith in your talent and your mind
    peace and $$$$
