    Dizzy How do you get started...

    when you don't have any toys? I'm BROKE and I mean totally BROKE and can't afford to buy any toys or lingerie so I don't feel too confident about going on cam right now. I need to start camming b/c I have NO other source of income so there is no way I would be able to buy even one toy or anything. Has anyone else ever started camming with basically nothing?

    I have. Don't worry. You'll still make money, even without the toys.

    You don't need toys. Many girls don't use them AT ALL. Just go on in your undies and do finger play. You don't need sexy, special lingerie, you don't need expensive glass toys, you just need you, a cam, a computer, and a little lube.

    That said - this isn't a quick money option. Read through the threads and you will find that everyone agrees that camming is a marathon, not a sprint. So if you are really broke and hoping to log on and make an ass-ton of money right away to fix that, you may well be disappointed.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    I agree, I'm not using any toys right now and doing just fine.

    This was exactly my case when I started camming. I wanted everything to be perfect and I didn't want to start doing anything until everything is in place and I have outfits, toys, great webcam, lighting...Then I realized that if I don't turn my cam on, I won't have the money to buy these things I got online and I was so happy that I did! Nobody asked about these things, instead they were all complimenting me on my looks, on my voice, etc. Don't worry, you'll be fine with your fingers too!
    One thing to consider is what other ladies wrote before me, that setting yourself up takes time (depends on the site but anywhere between 24 hours and even weeks), they ask for signed paperwork, ID, stuff like that. There are also some sites where there's a pay delay, so definitely do your research I'm only saying these things because I didn't know about them and it hurt when I found out that I only get my money three weeks later than I expected! I also was a nervous wreck while waiting to be approved on sites. Good luck!

    I rarely use toys, and have been doing this since 1998. I just am not a toy person. I have them, and use one if they are asked for, but if not prompted, I just would rather not. As for lingerie, I am sure you own bra and panties? If not, you can wear a button down shirt or even a normal shirt. Heck, I sit here fully clothed. I don't gussy up or anything and I do fine.

    Also, if you have .50cents you can buy yourself a cucumber at the store... some guys are into vegetables. LOL

    I started with nothing hun, just a tshirt and panties If you plan to do this long term fairly regularly though, invest some of your earnings back into wardrobe and equipment as soon as you can and it will pay off. Good luck x

    To start, I had only a webcam. I wasn't just lacking in toys, my computer was only a netbook (and the cheapest available at that), and I didn't even have my own internet. I was stealing WiFi from across the street.

    Had a great first week though. As long as you can hustle, you can get by until you have some money to invest.
    Good luck!

    I'm just getting started myself, and aside from learning to weed out the freeloaders (I get soooo tired of being asked if I have skype or being offered $$$ to go off platform (um no)), I'm doing pretty damn good. I don't have lingerie or fancy toys (just two), and I don't have a fancy HD cam - and on top of that, I am a big girl (size 14 and 5'4") who is 6 mos preggo - the men don't seem to mind at all! I would think if I can do it, anyone can!

    Don't worry about sexy lingerie and toys! Sure you can get some when you can afford it, but seriously, don't worry, you are new, many new girls start out with nada and many custys don't care/won't notice!

    You can literally wear anything you want on cam. I have a few "sexy" outfits but I tend to make more money when I just go onine in a tank top and shorts so I've pretty much stopped worrying about dressing up.. Just do your makeup and hair nicely and you should be good to go.

    Remember, half the draw for these guys is the girl next door/ total amateur thing. Once you get a better cam/ more toys/ more lingerie etc, a lot of them think you're joining the big porn leagues and are "selling out". Play up the vibe you have now, you'd be surprised how much they love it

    LOL...this reminded me of the night I was simply checking out a new cam site after being approved and hadn't even planned on camming. I was fully clothed (I NEVER show anything outside private anyway), wearing a long sleeve top and long pants, noooo makeup, hair a mess - you get the picture. Hell, I was even DEAD tired! I was literally connected for 30 seconds before custys started coming in and wanting to go private. I didn't think I'd draw any attention whatsoever looking the way I did LOL.
