    Crossfingers Make Me A Believer, Streamate...

    Tonight is my first night ever on cam. I start at 9pm EST. As of right now it is 8:25PM. I am a combination of emotions, but mainly excited and a little nervous. You see, this is the time when I take an empty handed leap of faith into the void in hopes to make some decent money as a camgirl with SM.

    Now I know I probably won't make thousands in my first night. I need something to make me a believer though. For in the past, when I saw ads for camgirls who could make up to X thousands per week, I must admit, I scoffed at the idea. But now I am here to try it for myself. I must say I have come a long way.

    You see what finally got me to try this (besides coming to this forum) is that I have been essentially unemployed since August 2010, when I lost my temp job at staples because I couldn't find a babysitter. Before that I had been unemployed since April 2009 and pregnant from December 2008 to July 2009. In that time frame after July 2009, I had tried to find a job, but the lack of a babysitter always seemed to get in the way. The jobs that were available would have left me with the old catch 22 of "working just to pay for daycare", which I refused to do because had I done so, it still wouldn't have gotten me to my goal of my own place to live. Because you see, I had been living at my father's house since May 2009 when my then (now ex) boyfriend of 4 years and 7 months decided he didn't love me anymore.

    So here I am...at a pivotal moment in my life. I am about to start my first show, and go by "trial and error", (or what I like to call "Just Wing It!") and see exactly what my earnings will be. For the Record, my Per Minute Rate (after reading Friday's Thread) is $3.99 Private and $4.99 Exclusive.

    Let's see how many Quality Customers I can get on my first Night...

    I will let everyone here know how it went tomorrow....

    Wish Me Luck...

    good luck i hope everything goes well for you!

    i also agree the first night is always the worst! i still get that nervous feeling but once as i get into the groove of it i realize i had no reason to be nervous in the first place. not sure if camming is the same as my last job but i find the majority of men you meet in this type of job are just looking for someone to spend their time with and have fun.. remember that and forget the buttheads cause there's bound to be some of those too ;p. that i do know is the same in camming haha. ;p

    i will also be new to cam work however i have worked on and off in the sex industry for many years, here in the US and also over seas. unfortunately because of unexpected reasons i had to return to the US and start ALL OVER AGAIN. its a tough place to be in, so i can completely understand how you feel. starting from square one again always sucks but try not to worry.(easier said then done i know!)
    i admit for the past year i felt very lost, but once i got my ass in gear i was ready to work again and find my inner Mojovation.

    though to be quite honest i would probably be nervous in any new job i start. this was just the career path that worked for me. however i think when i start camming for the first time soon i will also be just as nervous as when i started years ago in the club. eek!

    just relax - have fun -so you can get those creative juices flowing and focus on gettin them bucks. i heard somewhere if the juices wont flow coconut oil works wonders.

    I now have an update. I did make some money, a little over $8. However, I was only on for about an hour because I had my tooth pulled out earlier that day and was in a little bit of pain from that. I have been convinced that you CAN make money doing this.

    However, how can I tease more?? I have no idea how to tease on cam. Hell when I started stripping I had NO idea how to hustle. Its only after coming here that I learned the term "wanna dance". Can any of you offer me any tips as to how to tease on cam to get more privates? I know its trial and error, but if I get some tips, then I can try those tips in my trial and error and see what works for me. Keep in mind I am currently getting over being forced to lead a sheltered life when I was younger.

    Thanks!!

    To me its hard to tell someone else how to lure guys in. I think you need to develop your own style. Maybe find some hosts similar to yourself and peek in at their free chat (just watch a few minutes and see if you can find a few ways you can adopt for yourself). Personally I'm not a fan of gold shows any longer and I prefer privates. I show very little in free chat and I don't jump up and show my ass every time they ask. They will wear you out if you start doing everything they ask for free.

    Congrats on getting your first day out of the way!

    Yeah, finding your groove and what you have about you that will lure guys in, in something you will really need to develop and figure out for yourself. There really is no one method that works for everyone..and Im sure that a lot of us can pop in and say what works for us, and it will vary wildly, and yet none of it will work for you.

    Like, when I started with domination, I was trying to do the whole mean bitchy thing...I did okaaaaay. Then I just started to not care what I was "supposed" to be, and was more of a cheeky, sharp witted domme...my sessions darn near turned into comedy shows. Same thing for when I left that behind and went into cam...did the whole sultry sexy flirty thing, and again, got and kept way more guys when I was being my usual goofy self. Thats what comes naturally to me, and hey, it makes time fly when joking around and having fun with these guys, even if...well especially if its at their expense
    Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!

    take some sexy pics with your lingerie or in bra and panties and tweet them along with your cammodels link. caress your self on cam, act as though you are truely horny and talk to them like you're horny. hope it helps.

    Make sure you use some of your earnings to fund some exciting travels my dear! More privates WILL come! It can be easy to become even more sheltered in this gig, but if you keep your motivation, treat yourself by making some lovely memories outside!

    Definitely watch girls in free chat. Before I even fully decided I wanted to be a camgirl, I spent a few months just watching other performers. Learning what I liked about them and why they appealed to me helped me strengthen my own hustle. Use your favourites as inspiration. If you're aroused by women it might help, but if you try to adopt the mindset of someone who wants to get off to her, it can help amplify your recognition as to what she's doing which is making you want to see more of her. Whether it's giving some sultry eye contact, teasing by looking like you're going to remove an item of clothing, playing with a bra strap, you can adapt little things into your style, fine-tuning your hustle.

    Good luck!
