    Lightbulb How to make a living being an INDEPENDENT cam girl.

    I have noticed a lot of post lately regarding ditching the big sites and going indy, I thought that I would start this thread to offer the newbies some advice, and hope that maybe some of you other indy ladies can post some of your tips here too.

    Here are a few to get the post started. (These are suggestions that work for me, but may not work for everyone.)

    1 ) Work on sites that allow you to promote your website or link back to an indy profile of some sort. (MFC will allow this)

    2 ) Only give your yahoo ID to PAYING customers. If a client tries to add you without having purchased a show, politely explain to him that you only add clients who have purchased a show from you. If he gets offended... you dont want him, he is a time waster.

    3 ) Be short and sweet at first contact. Welcoming, warm, yet no bullshit at the same time... have patience, it is a bit of a different ball game with indy, but you will soon be able to spot "buying" questions vs "time wasting" questions. - Write out a list of answers to all the mundane questions that you answer every day "FAQ" of sorts, and direct your client there if he is asking too many questions, and you are unsure if he is a buyer or not.

    4 ) I personally will NOT do a free preview. I will link them to a profile that has me listed as a verrified cam girl, show them a preview video etc. However a lot of models will at least turn on cam, and do something "anything" so that the viewer knows you are real. Tell him before hand that he gets 15 seconds. That is plenty of time.

    5 ) Once that client pays DO NOT FORGET TO ADD HIM TO MESSENGER. - It is very important to always keep track of your paying clients. When you have a bill due, you just go down the list.

    6 ) keep notes about clents on your messenger. (yahoo has a notes section)

    7 ) When you arent working, tell a client you are already booked up for the day. Ask him if he would like to book a show for tomorrow. there is a $10 deposit for show bookings. This creates the illusion that you are very popular and makes the guy feel that he needs to "Book you" Bringing you in a gaurenteed show tomorrow, and if he doesnt show, you just got a free $10.

    8 ) When you know your big spenders arent around, and you arent really looking for a show anyway, message them and tell them that you cant stop thinking about something that happened during your last show. Make him feel like he REALLY turns you on, and that YOU feel LUCKY to have found such a sexy guy to cam with. Guys LOVE to be adored, and him feeling that you WANT him... will bring him back to YOU over the other girls, everytime.


    That is all that i can think of for now, but if anyone ever has questions for me, feel free to hit my pm box or reply to this thread.

    What are some of your indy tricks?

    XO!

    I promote on twitter of course. Like you mentioned I promote on any site that will let me but instead of listing all the sites Im on I give them my web address that has my personal Gmail address, my skype name and my rates. Its pretty easy to remember too.
    now there are no clickable links there because its a basic Intuit site. Theres also Tumbler (which I don't get so mine is worthless) and Pinterest.
    I do make some money indy but most of it is from guys in the middle east. Why? No clue.

    I was going to sign up for MyPornProfile.com but hadn't looked into any of the others. Surprisingly I do get a fair amount of skype business off Twitter. Thing is that I post my Skype name on Twitter and my rates. For every 1 guy who wants to pay for a show I have to block 20 that want a free one. I don't let it get to me though I just hit 'block, remove from contacts' poof! problem solved.
    Ive also hopped off MFC after only 15 min of being online to skype which is why my cam score fell to 600 but, those guys are on my contacts now. Every time I sign into Skype the thing just blows up!

    This is great because I really want to become an indy girl. I'm doing well on MFC. My CamScore is over 1,000, but I hate free chat!

    lol! Same here... Free chat puts me in a foul mood which totally impacts my $$$

    What I will do is avoid chat as much as possible, signing on maybe once a week or so.. This way when my members see me, they are exicited and take me private faster, i still get some exposure, and I dont hate as much. =x

    Sometimes I will hint that I am camming, just not on big sites... and this is usually enough of a hint that they can * FIND * me

    Great thread! I'm trying to transition back to indy (never really stopped, but I slowed down on indy a lot and was focusing on SM and other free chat sites) and I really want to build my indy name up so I don't have to do too much free chat. I ideally just wanna do SM once or twice a week for maybe a total of 5 hours, and do indy the rest of the time.

    I may try MFC, never thought of the fact that I could promote my skype/yahoo shows there! I hated it when I first tried it, but I had no idea what I was doing so maybe this time around I could do better. So you girls that are on MFC, do you just put "skype shows" or something like that in your topic and not bother with tip goals to get naked etc?

    Couple quick notes on getting started with your own website..

    If you are thinking of creating a site and thinking of a domain name.

    Think SEO and brand recognition. Put a lot of thought into your domain name, make it personal and memorable.

    Google doesn't tend to like sites that have more than three words in the url. So keep it short and simple. (this does not apply to naming pages, but that is another thread all together.)

    If you are leaving a big site, you may seriously want to consider using your screen name as your domain name. This will help your clients to find you. Believe me, they will look for you.

    Otherwise, think SEO, choose a name that isnt going to be too saturated, yet still popular. Something that is descriptive to your particular style, so that you can use max out your keywords accordingly.

    Thank you for posting this...it's good advice.

    I know that a while back, CamWhore also had a great thread about independing camming. I'll be using the search function to find that thread too.

    Next, we should talk about payment processing.

    I'm thinking of using Epoch, CCBill and Verotel.

    I wish this thread, the SM Thread, the AW Thread and the MFC Thread were all stickies at the top of the first page.

    I signed up with iCandyCams.com last night. Do I need my own CCBill, or do they create a sub-account for you?
