    Default Average Vanilla Girl - any earnings hope?

    Okay, I am still exploring the option of camming and have got it in my head that I won't earn anything!

    I imagine all of you to be hot sexy women! This would explain your great earnings..

    I however, am not the above.

    I am relatively pretty but not with a gorgeous body. Im short, average weight and short legs! My boobs maybe the only draw...

    To add to this there are a number of things I wont do; such as toys, anal or any fetishes.

    Can you tell me if i have any hope of making a living from camming?

    I'm not stereotypically hot either. :-) I do use toys, but only when they're nice to me. And I've seen plenty of other girls who don't do kinks or anything, and they do just fine.

    Making money as a vanilla camgirl is totally do-able. There's a niche for everyone, and the trick is finding that niche (I, unfortunately, am still working on this after seven months of camming. :-/)



    I like the soulful sounds of explosions, romantic walks to the fridge,
    and sometimes making designers cry.

    The key to caming is confidence and focusing on your good points.

    Think of the difference between cheep and inexpensive.... Both mean pretty much the same thing but both words create very different feelings about a product.

    Don't sell yourself short. Your not short your petite, your not average, your obtainable ect.

    No matter what you are into or not into, there is a guy at home looking for exactly that you just need to market properly so that guy(those guys) can find you.

    I'm not pornstar hot, i'm everyday cute & guys love it. My niche is essentially being the 'out going' me from real life. I do use toys and some fetish but thats because I like both ;p Theres a lot of fetishes out their and i'm sure if you stick with this that you'll dabble in at least a few of them.

    Fetishes don't all require crazy bdsm fetish gear, even something simple like watching a woman clean or looking at her feet is a fetish ;p

    this is easy
    lol
    just put a bit of makeup on.. makeup makes any woman look gorgeous!
    ok boobs? thats all u need ha!

    the " problem" is not what u look like..
    the " problem" is to actually get online and deal with all the harassment and the cheapos.
    that takes lots of inner strength...

    How you look IRL and how you look on cam can be two different things. So maybe IRL youre 'average' but with some extra make-up and sexy outfits, the right lighting- poof- sex godess!

    A lot of girls intentionally make themselves look different.

    So if you want to try to be more glam then since you don't normally wear heavy eye make-up or blush or lip gloss- try it for the cam. You look different on cam under the lights. Try fluffing your hair up or smoothing it out or whatever is the opposite. Maybe pencil in a fake beauty mark on your cheek. (and its hard to tell how tall someone is on cam so guys will see your short but wont know how short you are) test out different looks before you go live. Have fun with it. you can be who ever you want.

    Its funny theres a lot of threads about girls saying theyre too awkward to cam but Ive never seen one where someones thought they were too average to cam.

    But there is also a market for non glam average girls next door type. You may be more comfortable (and therefore make more money) just being yourself.

    Thanks for the great words & encouragment. After some thought, I feel the fact that I wont have much to offer will be a negative for me as far as earnings.

    When I say not much to offer, I dont necessarily mean my average looks. I mean that I wont be playing with toys, doing anal etc etc. The most I am comfortable doing is stripping and maybe masturbating. For a girl that is not stunning/have a great body - not going "all out" will prevent me from earning a decent amount. No?

    Oh, and a note on the height thing. I'm 5'4", but for some reason guys seem to think that I'm like 5'7" or something. They tell me I look taller than what I tell them. Then again, I'm also pretty skinny, so that might play into the reasoning a bit. Just something to think about.

    "Great body" is subjective. You don't have to be skinny, or have big boobs. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" may sound cheesy, but especially in this line of work, it's very very true.

    If you're able/willing to play up a girlfriend-type role, then that would also be a big hit. A lot of girls don't do anal, and I'm sure there are some who don't play with toys. Hell, one of my favorite customers is a guy who is in love with my armpits, and all he ever asks for is armpit and down-blouse shots.



    I like the soulful sounds of explosions, romantic walks to the fridge,
    and sometimes making designers cry.

    Perfection does not exist. All (well most) have on a shit ton of makeup with bright ass lights and amazing angles. You don't need anal or toys, just give it a try before u defeat yourself.

    Honestly I think you should try and give it a honest go. Men like variety and different things. On a side note I am only 5'3" and I don't do anal either. I only use toys if asked, otherwise I wont use a toy at all. Anyway best of luck to whatever u decide :-)

    Yep, I am definitely going to give it a go. I think I will start off with streamate and adultwork. I have a hard time believing that MFC would be good for me based on what I said above.

    I wanted to stray away from the usual, how much will you earn question. But it would be really helpful for me to know what others in my situation would earn per hour. That is, vanilla girls that arent the usual model type.

    Lets put it this way - based on reading the threads I am expecting, or hoping to earn no more than $20 per hour.Wishful thinking?

    My personal experience is that it varies. A couple of months ago, I could make $50-$100 a night, working four or five hours a night. The past few weeks/couple of months have been absolutely retched and I'm only making around $40 a night (on a good night), but I did make $150 last night in about four hours. I've noticed that a lot of girls say that the paying traffic is lower during the summer, and that it picks up around September. I think I'm on the lower end of the payscale, though, because I can't work the hours that others can. So no, I don't think $20 an hour is wishful thinking. That's low-scale for a lot. :-)

    Its not about the toys. And a lot of girls dont do anal but they do spend a lot of time in prvt with guys trying to talk them into 'trying' it..

    Its more about personality. Its been said before on here its not about the sex ( you can get that cheaper or for free on tube sites) its all about the interaction.

    Read the hustle hut threads. 20$/hr is a decent goal (but more is always better- aim high and you'll get it) . if youre showing your body and making less then that maybe you'd be better off working a regular job where youre not.exposing yourself.

    Most important- dont talk yourself down- saying things like- i dont have much to offer is a big no no. Check the raise your rates thread. You do have something to offer- YOU. Youre worth it. make them pay.

    Ouchie! $40 for four hours work? Glad last night made up for it though. I would be quiet happy with 150 for a nights work..

    Looks like september will be a good time for me to get started...:-)

    20$ per hour is a reasonable goal. I wouldn't feel bad if you log on a few times though and make less, it takes a bit to get comfortable - but you should be making that at a *minimum* after a while.

    If what you're selling is going to be primarily your personality, you may do well on tip based sites (MFC, xpeeps, chaturbate, etc) because they mostly do vanilla, and it's not hard to do non nude / no toys.
    In my experience, not doing toys on streamate will make you loose some customers, but there are always people who just want to chat, do softcore fetishes (like feet!), or just see fingers.

    On a slightly unrelated note if you're just uncomfortable with the idea of penetrative toys but ok with masturbation, you may want to invest in a hitachi (or something similar - after you start camming of course). Guys love it, and it doesn't penetrate and is relatively discreet.

    Thanks annabellz - what I mean mostly about not having too much to offer, is sexual performance. But im quickly learning that camming is more than that.

    I would be happy with 20 dollars an hour as even though thats low, its more than what I am getting per hour at the moment. I would stop if I were to earn less than 15 dollars an hour. The pull for me really is the freedom of having my own hours.

    Your response was really helpful! What was more so was your comment on $20 being the minimum I would earn, after a while. Is this really the case? If so, than camming could really be for me. I say this knowing about the negatives too!

    Im dissapointed to hear that Streamate may not work so well for a vanilla girl like me, as I was trying to lean away from the free chat, such as the one in MFC.
    Hitachi eh? You will laugh at the fact that I will now have to ask Mr. Google about that..!

    Hi Hun... I'm fairly new to camming - started in March of this year...

    You already sound sexy in your own description..... like the other girls said on here... don't sell yourself short...

    I'm a plus size camgirl... and used to think 'no one's gonna wanna pay to see my fat ass'... I was wrong! I make not bad money on SM and a little extra on MFC...
    I've learned that in the webcam world... men pay because they are looking for something and it isn't always the typical barbie doll looks (no disrespect to those girls)... some men want boobies, some want short girls, some want big butts, or small butts...
    Go out there and try it... see how you feel... and as for not doing toys/anal/fetishes... don't worry about it... a lot of girls don't do it and make money... and who knows... maybe in the future.. you may (or not) re-visit those option... Either way you have nothing to lose but a little time and effort... go chica!!!

    Um, I don't mean to sound like a bitch but since I am one --- it tends to come out that way a lot. Why don't you try this plan instead. First you sign up, then if you fail. You are allowed to give up then.

    You are not allowed to give up before you even try it out to find out how completely right every single piece of advice that was just given to you was.

    Edited to add: Oh, I see by reading further down the thread that you've decided to go for it. Make me proud girl!

    Camming is like starting up a little business. You might be successful, you might fail. You should always have an exit strategy/back up plan if it doesn't work out, and you shouldn't rely on income from camming until you have been successfully camming for awhile.

    Looks aren't everything because you can be drop dead mother fucking gorgeous with no personality and your mileage may vary and your days will be numbered. It sure helps to be "hot" but camming is so much more than that because one man's ugly is another's man beautiful. It requires a good personality, confidence and determination. It's by having charisma and your own brand of charm.

    Camming isn't for everyone but I believe you can make more than a decent living if you're willing to work hard and believe in yourself. You have to do the things you think you cannot do and you'll be surprised how wonderfully it'll turn out.
    Let's just say if I want to buy myself a Louis Vuitton bag, camming allows me to do that weekly

    Nothing else you mentioned matters, because you are starting out with a defeatist attitude. Shake off that attitude, and get one that says "I'm fucking awesome and guys WILL pay to watch me!"
    The defeatist attitude will show, so try to shake it now. I'm sure your looks are more than adequate for the job. Lights, cam, makeup, cute outfit, BAM! Instant hot cam girl. Just dive right in
