    Default at what point do you feel like you have "made it" camming?

    im not even talking finantially. i started on this in a recent thread i made and figured it could be its own thread.

    when do you think you have made it as a cam model? by having and running your own site with a large following? by making all your bills and having plenty of extra cash even though you dont market your brand too much and people dont all know who you are?

    what for you would mean that you had finally made it in your own eyes? for me i feel like having my own site and a decent following of good regulars would in my eyes meet that, along with having enough money coming in to cover all my bills and having a decent amount of spending money working 4 or less days a week. personally i dont care if the whole adult world of camming knows my name, some people care about the fame but i do not.

    I don't really care about anyone knowing my name...and I will actively AVOID fame of the Jenna Jameson level - no part of me wants that. Every now and then I think that it would be lovely to win a little award....even like a "feature of the month" or "camgirl of the month" - nothing huge, but a little aknowledgement that I am doing well!

    But really, I am with you, Crispy. I want to have my own site, and I want fanboys!! I would like to have a nice $500-1000 a week, plus a butt-load of wishlist gifts coming in!! (And I will only ever be working part-time) I want to have a good, reasonably well-known site, and guys that are totally crazy about me. I'm thinking a site like Undress Jess - well known, but still just me!

    Give it a couple years - I'll get there.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    I do not want the fame, if I can make it all off a few loyal regs that would be preferable. I'd prefer to be under the radar. I will have 'made it' I think, when I have a cushy life set and paid for. Condo paid off. Car paid off. Zero debt. That's my idea of made it.

    I'm with you Lacy, except I don't currently have debt. Ideally I'd like to have my own business, maybe my own studio. Have a paid for condo and a decent car, nothing fancy tho.

    For me I think just having a good amount of regulars helps.

    I've spent years building up my name ...not for "fame" but that comes with building a name in the first place.
    And along with that comes all the fanboys you were talking about.

    I have a huge following. I have a ton of fanboys. I'd trade them for customers any day.

    There's a huge difference between clients and fans. This much I have learned.
    I have thousands of "fans"
    Who like to email me and profess their love and adoration,follow me around,post about me on forums,collect all my pictures blah blah
    But fans do not pay your bills. In fact they almost rarely buy anything.

    I'd love to say I have thousands of customers,but I don't and ultimately isn't that the goal.

    Check this out if your in need of some video or phone scripts
    These are good for clips4sale videos possibly even phone sex if your more of a storyteller.

    love this! i could careless about a fan. fan send admiration. customers send $$ .
    example being twitter. i have over a thousand followers... i have seen others who have in the 10,000 area... 90 percent if not 95% are fans not customers.

    my goal is to figure out how i can convert those fans into customers

    My god I would love to have a following like Undress Jess has... She is a huge inspiration to me.
    She is amazing. I'd love an indie site of my own. But this is a dream

    I'll feel like I've "made it" as camgirl for myself when I'm earning $1000+ a week.
    I will get there.

    When I've completely paid off student loan debt, have enough money saved to buy a small house with cash, and can afford several nice vacations a year. I asked my boyfriend to print out nice pictures of places we'd like to travel so I can put them up on the wall to motivate me to cam as much as possible.

    Feeling I have made it will be when I have enough passive income I can take weeks or maybe even months at a time off with plenty of money, without worrying about bills. I want to learn about investing money and also find more ways to get that passive income coming in.

    Having my own member's site bombed for me. Too little money for way too much work. Seriously, $20 or 30 per person and they get all my content? no thanks. Plus it's easier to sell a $5 clip than a $20 recurring monthly membership, and often when they buy one clip they like they buy more later (often all of them).

    I do have a .com site with my main cam name, but just to have a centralized place to sell individual clips and so customers can always find me should a large site go under (like Niteflirt did in the past). The only members sites I will have are through cam sites where the setup is simple and they take care of billing and all that stuff.

    I'm far from my goal of passive income, but I have had some days where I've made more in clips, mp3s, replays and various downloadable things than I did camming. I really really want to get there!

    i think when i hit 30k a year just from camming and only be able to work 4 days a week i will be happy i don't know if i'll feel like i've 'made it,' but i'll be comfortable. obviously i'd love to make more than that (one goal i have is 4k/month) but now that i'm moving into camming more full-time-ish that amount at least would make me really happy - not having to stress about bills, paying off debt, and saving.

    Everybody talking about fans reminded me about this: http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archiv..._true_fans.php

    So, yeah, I want the debt-free and house thing, but I figure that I'd also be happy with 1,000 true fans as well.

    I have been in the camming business for only a short while - 6 months. The entire time has been a journey of figuring myself out, what it's like, what I'm like, what to expect (which I've figured out is NOTHING!)... And only recently have I started feeling like I've really "made it". It has absolutely nothing to do with income and having this or that and it has EVERYTHING to do with how comfortable I feel. I feel like I've made it because I feel comfortable with myself as a cam girl. The money is inconsequential, it will come, maybe it won't always be what you like and maybe it will surprise you, but it will. Once you start enjoying yourself you no longer get that burn out anxious feeling and to me that means everything in the world!!

    I felt like I 'made' it when I made $1000 in a week. I worked every day, making $160 per day and it didn't take long.

    Logging on and making about 40-50 an hour with ease...without waiting 2 hours before making any REAL money (that's how it was in the beginning for me).

    I work on SM so I can see who has spent money on me, a "1" besides someones sn indicates they have spent SOME money on you. A '2' means they have spent a pretty good amount of money on you, probably atleast an hour in pvt total. And a ''3'' means they are a very consistent regular.

    I have quite a few 2's and a couple of 3's who come to see me, so I feel pretty good!

    I think I have to agree with you on this Preggo. I love the flexibility of this job. I love how I don't have to stress about work, traffic, being on time . . . it's just been sooo nice for me to not stress. I left the corporate world three weeks ago and will never go back. As far as income goes, I am making $800 a week, I do work every day and I am hoping to increase that $1,000 a week. But yeah, the money is the least of it. The fact that I am stress free and happy is worth more than all the money in world.

    I don't want my own site and I don't want to be famous, but I want to be pretty high up there. I am comfortable with my income, but my goal for 2012 is $70,000 a year. I WILL get there! I want to get a boob job and more professional pictures so I feel more confident to raise my prices a little more on Streamate and not dropping a customer base. On MFC, I want to have a camscore above 10k.

    I had my nose done when I was 19 and went to one of the most reputible surgeons in the province, I had 2 touch up surgeries (so 3 operations total) because the results were not very nice at all, thank god it I am happy with it now but I really wasn't for a long time and it made me kind of regret getting anything done in the first place.

    I am undecided on if I would risk having any more plastic surgery again after that, my boobs aren't horrible now or anything but they also aren't perfect that's for sure, but I would hate to get them done and be unhappy with the results, I'd rather keep what I have now... but at the same time I could very possibly end up with an amazing rack LOL so I also want them so badly, urrgh!

    I want a boob job too! I'm paranoid about it too tho. I've seen the before/after pics by all the surgeons around here and...they suck. That and everyone is always "no don't change your boobs!" but damn it I love huge tits, and I want a pair!
