    Default Newbie with a few questions

    Hi. I'm new to the boards here and new-ish to webcam modeling. I'm also transsexual, but I don't know how much that really matters here.

    A little back story: I started webcam modeling last summer. I'm a full time student, living mostly off student loans and pell grants and since I hadn't taken any summer classes, I needed money to live off of. I started mostly because I was desperate for money, but now I'm finding I really enjoy it. Plus, it fits my situation really well: I don't have a car, so I can work out of the house. I can work around my school schedule (or whatever other schedule comes up). It's even helped me get more comfortable with my sexuality and my body. I'm really enjoying myself. In fact, I've considered getting into the porn industry (and would try it, if not for the fact that I don't want to damage the relationship between my boyfriend and I).

    Well, because school screwed up my re-enrollment for this semester, I had to take all second start classes. This really condensed the classes, so it was pretty difficult to find time to webcam any. I decided to take a break while I'm in school this semester, but my plan is to get back into it during the winter break and, as long as I don't stay crazy busy next semester, stick with it then.

    But I do have a few questions I wanted to ask. I'd like to make more money and any tips from others here who know more and/or have more experience would be appreciated.

    1) How much personal information do they want on me? I use a stage name, just like most performers do, but what else can/should be hidden? Do I tell them I have a boyfriend and I'm not going to sleep with anyone else or do I let them think they have a chance with me? Do I tell them where I live, or is there the possibility of getting a creepy stalker type following me around?

    2) Functionality is another issue. I guess being trans is an issue for this one. They want to see it hard, but it's not as easy to get it hard or keep it hard. Also, when I cum, there isn't any fluid anymore (or very little). Anyone know a way around that?

    3) Clothes. What kind is best for this situation? I have a few outfits I can wear and I'm probably going to get some stockings (I get a lot of requests for those). Any other suggestions?

    4) Self advertising. How can I do it? What are good sites to promote my webcam home page from?

    5) How should I deal with the cheap guys? The ones who keep demanding I strip in free chat, I mean. I have to get they to pay for paid chat to make money, but I don't want to alienate potential customers (not to mention some could turn into regulars).

    6) I like the site I've been with (imlive), but I'm wondering if I might make a little more with other sites. Anyone here know what other sites are good? Especially for someone who is just kinda getting started. Or might I make more money if I work with multiple sites?

    Thanks. I'm gonna go do homework now.

    If you poke around youll find some answers to your questions, for #1 what sticks out is Id be vague about your exact location or have a cover. Whether you choose to disclose your relationship is a personal choice - I only talk about it if the guy is a cuckold or into humiliation, otherwise I try change the subject.. Others here are completely direct though - and it appears to not impact their earnings. So it isnt a sales strategy so much as a question of comfort.

    there are are a few TS performers here who can probably help with #2 especially - since Ive never seen that covered before.

    1) keep stuff private. i have my stage name, and then my 'real' name. I tell them I live at X, which is familliar to me but I live miles and miles away from there in reality. Used to tell them I was single but now they know I have a boyfriend. Well of course we have boyfriends!
    2) can't help you with that, but I know it's tough when you've got a cock. My boyfriend can't cam with me - stagefright and keeping it up etc.
    3) variety, but stockings and heels a must. heels with strap are good so they don't fly off and smash laptop screen
    4)search function
    5)search function
    6)search function

    Good luck x

    Yeah, that's generally what I do. I've been saying "Gulf Coast," which is true, but they always want more details. I only give that in private and, honestly, if they live too close to where I live, I simply say I live on the other side of the gulf coast (for example, if they say they live in Texas, I tell them I live in Florida and vice versa).

    Heh. Yeah, fortunately, the only time they really get to see it is in private, so I usually don't have to keep it hard for too long. Still, it can be a challenge sometimes.

    My boyfriend has asked about performing with me, but he's trans, too, and touching his chest makes him recoil like he's in pain, so that just wouldn't work too terribly well.

    3) variety, but stockings and heels a must. heels with strap are good so they don't fly off and smash laptop screen
    Already have the high heels. I actually have two pairs of heels, one pair of sandals and the others are boots. I'll need to get some stockings, and I may have to get a bit of variety on what kinds to get.

    If he's still interested in doing something - you both could do well with content (like short videos, clips, pictures) , he'd have more control over how the scene goes... or it could just be your regular sex life but with, well, brighter lights. so no one would be asking you to touch his chest or push his boundaries, etc.

    This isnt the same situation but Ive tried to do couples camming with my BF and he just cannot handle live customers - so Ive used women for G/G live camming and used him for content only. Not being around the actual audience helped him relax, so it may ease your BF's mind a bit.

    I've seen some cheap lingerie in sites like trashy.com, maybe you can go around and look what they have to offer. I hear they have free shipping.

    Oh, that. I'll PM you about that, if you don't mind. I'm about to go on at SM, and I'll write it when there's no one in my chat, so look for it in a couple to a few hours.

    Well, eff a PM. We don't need to have secret trans cock talk time.

    I pretty much state right out that mine doesn't work like boys' do. Seriously, I can hardly feel it sometimes. If I'm not in the right mood, it feels like, the same as touching my thumb.

    I like to explain to guys that they've been lied to by shemale porn, and that the buckets of cum they see spilling forth therein are fake, and everything they know about my genitalia is wrong. That said, a cock ring is probably worth trying, though I haven't yet.

    My strategy for overcoming this has been to draw more attention to my impressive rectal capacity, and the way I can shove a large dildo down my throat without even warming up. I do a lot of talking and teasing. I really wish I could give every guy the porno fantasy that he wants, because then I could get more money out of them, but I do pretty well, ie. right up near top placement with my personality, looks, and the sense I give them of being with a real live trans girl.

    Honestly, I've been thinking about getting grey market Viagra, and learning how to get tricky with a syringe, but I'm always putting it off, and my customer base is growing without it.
