    To be completely honest, I never would have thought I would one day doing webcam modeling. I got into it because of my circumstances. I was making decent money as a self-employed hairstylist then something terrible happened. I was outted as a Transsexual woman to the whole town so I've lost clients because some aren't comfortable with who I am. I was devastated but I refuse to have that 'oh poor me' atttitude. I pulled myself together and turn to camming as my extra source of income. I am in no shape or form bitter because it's the negative experience that show me how I've survived.

    Funny story.
    Let's start at the beginning. I found out what "camming" was when I was 18- I think I was watching porn (hah) and a LJ/SM pop-up came up. That was the first time I saw a cam girl.I actually considered signing up back then (and damnit I wish I had now!) but I was too chicken, so I didn't..
    Fast forward a bit to my time as a Diablo 2 junkie... it was then that I realized being a hot chick/having boobs could, essentially, get me whatever I wanted. I sold some "sexy fan sign pics" of me in a bra and underwear for ridiculous amounts of forum gold so I could buy all the awesome "gear" I wanted and pimp out my characters. It was too easy!

    SO, then, about a year later, I had just quit my reception job. I had a few months of time to kill before University started and found myself trolling the interwebz for way too much time everyday... and somehow ended up on MFC. I creeped on the models for awhile and it seemed cool, so I signed up. I found SW a little bit after that, and after realizing I wasn't getting what I wanted out of MFC, I switched over to SM. And now here I am, living my top secret undercover life as a cam girl, bringing in real money instead of some game's currency, all thanks to the world wide web.

    My ex had a massive camgirl addiction. I was like 'wait... I can do that'. I signed on cam and off on the relationship.

    I got into webcam modelling when looking for a change from stripping - my SO mentioned it to me, and I had never heard of it! So we watched a few models, talked about it, and I decided to make the switch so that I could work at home, during the day, and take a break from stripping!
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    About a two years ago I was searching and working at home jobs so I can be able to take care of my daughter. I found a lot of advertisements for webcam model. It took me over a year to finally start actually web camming. I felt I was too old, I am in my 40's, I didnt feel good about my body. After a divorce and now I am a single mom. I lost about 20 pounds and got my confidence up. I decided the work at home jobs were always on their hours and do not make a lot of money. I started being a webcam model on SM in November of 2011. I found SW this great site in December and it has helped me so much in my camming. I did my first shoot in February for 40somethingmag. I do have my days when it is hard to go on cam etc being lazy. lol. But when I finally get on cam it usually gets better..

    I love this question!!

    So before I did camming I was a sugarbaby, which was fun but I wanted to transition out of it since it wasn't the safest job to do. Being a sugarbaby made me realize that I could make a nice amount of money just based on my looks. So I called my bestfriend whom is a male he told me about his friend who was a cam-model on SM and that's when it hit me...I can make money by pleasuring myself... HOLY SHIT! It was like someone let me out of my tiny little box, looks sell and as long as you play your game right men will pay. I've changed being a camgirl and I wouldn't change anything I realized how independent I am.

    A little off topic, but I just finished my last final and I have nothing better to do with my life right now, I am signed up with "Experience Project', and I am really sad to see all the studio owners spamming the hell out of girls curious to be a webcam model. Vanessa, I'm warning them not to sign up with studios and the only legit girl that I know of that does not take a percentage from webcam earnings to sign up with is you through Streamate's division. I hope it defers at least SOMEBODY from the crazy internet modeling /sleazenall studio spams on there.

    I didn't know where else to post this, but as a random side note:

    I can now be contacted at [email protected]

    I can also still be contacted at my original email address, which is [email protected] (a bit wordy and easy to misspell)

    I believe that a similar email addy, [email protected], will route you to Model Support, but I'm not 100% sure.

    Okay, so this week's Newbie post isn't really for newbies...

    In honor of Mother's Day (or in our industry, "MILF's Day"), I wanted to give a general shout-out to all you Momma's and new Momma's who are hustling hard to provide for your families. I had a baby myself late last year, and have since connected with several of you SM ladies who have shared your stories of mommyhood, and general moral support. I hope you get the appreciation and pampering that you deserve!

    Vanessa
