    Default My first night in front of the camera!

    Hi everyone! Long time member, most of the time lurking. I just thought I'd share about my first night on SM...maybe it will help out some other n00bs

    My account got approved pretty late in the evening. So after getting everything in order, I logged on. I had some initial trouble with streaming...The HD encoder was being really stupid and wasn't working. After logging out, clearing my cookies and my cache, I tried again and was able to start my show!

    I must say, camming is a lot harder than it looks. So, if you think you're gonna be able to sit there and look pretty and that guys will just come pouring in be ready for a reality check. Guys will pop in and out and they will ask you to do stuff for free, and they will leave if you don't give it to them. They will ask you super personal questions and leave if you don't answer. They will ask you to lower your rates. That being said, be strong! Have a plan before you start your show. Who is your persona? Where is she from? What's her story? Play the role and flirt. And, do not give in to their peer pressure under any circumstances!!! For every guy that wants to be cheap, there is potentially a guy that is willing to pay! By giving away your goodies for free you're devaluing them. Yes they are expensive, because they are worth it!

    That was the *kinda* bad, now on to the good! I was on camera for a little less than two hours. During that time I was able to get two private sessions. One lasted quite a long time. The other was fairly short. But, after it was all said and done I made a little less than $50 in that two hours...from my perspective, that's not horrible.

    I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with camming personally, but I just wanted to let everyone that is doubtful know that it is possible! You can get to your goal if you put in the work!

    Good luck to all of you!

    Don't forget the extremely picky guys that will leave in the middle of a private because you didn't do something the way they wanted, even if you did EXACTLY what they said... Ugh...

    Not only do they leave, those are the same types of customers who also have a tendency to rate you a '1' and drag your entire ratings down afterwards. Those jerks drive me crazy!

    Tonight is my first real night at camming. I did start my rates up kinda higher than most, $3.04 Im thinking of raising them some though cause of how blown away these guys are. I didnt think i'd be that good! Also I've realized (and i tested this out throughout the night) I make more when im clothed! Like i was thinking just bra/panties would get it. NO! Im fully clothed in shirt and a long skirt and guys are just like OMGZ!! I would have never guessed, but when i got in bra and panties guys where like.. eh.. and im like WTF! You men make NO sense! Take it off.. NO NO PUT IT BACK ON.. NO TAKE IT OFF!! BB TAKE IT OFF! but im glad you have had such a great start! Congrats. Btw my earnings were $50 in about 3 hours give or take a few minutes. Not bad in my opinion but i feel I could have done WAY better. But im new with NO regulars so we'll see!

    I find this too, when I wear sexy underwear - no1 cares they just sit and fap in silence, but if I show up fully clothed - no cleavage or awt - they all love me and go pvt. Think it's cause guys can fap over unwear so they dont feel the need to pay if you're already showing it.
