    Default Help?

    Hi there!

    I just started doing the cam thing (tonight is my first night), but I'm making almost nothing. The one private I got, the guy got on, asked me to stand, and got off. I've been reading up on tips, but I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've made less than 10 bucks. Should I give up? What am I doing wrong? I don't show much of anything in free because I prefer to show myself if I'm getting paid something, ya know?

    I'm specifically doing some of the BBW niche sites. Is that part of my problem? I'm not really sure how to do the teasing bit yet.

    I just don't know what I should do. Lighting isn't perfect, but it's not as bad as some of the cams I've seen. I really want to save up some money for Spring Break, but I guess I don't know what I'm doing yet.

    Also, all the guys wanting freebies. @[email protected]

    Help?

    Guys wanting freebies are typical on these sites, sadly. :/ But I suggest you just be yourself and try to have some fun! Move around so they can see your body and maybe dance to some music. Make sure you still talk to the guys though.

    read up on all the bbw threads in Camming Connection and Other Work,you can read the how to use the search function sticky at the top of the camming connection page if you arent sure how to find them all,and at the bottom of each thread you read there will also be a list of related threads that can read as well.while i cant be certain of it bc i havent been doing this long enough,it sounds like the most obvious problem is the sites you are working.Ive only talked to maybe two other bbw's who have been able to make niche sites work for them,the rest of the girls ive talked to have all complained of only making like $10 a DAY on those sites.Im not bashing them at all,I almost signed up for a couple myself but after doing ALOT of research and talking to/reading alot of other ladies input on them,i came to realize i was much better off starting on a popular mainstream site.Those niche sites "box" you in,meaning you stick yourself in one category instead of on a mainstream site where you may be able to fit into many categories such as Big Tits,Big Ass,Milf,Bbw etc all at once,thus greatly increasing your room traffic and your chance of being taken private by someone who doesnt see you as "large" but very curvy or by a customer who may love your tits and have to have them for himself regardless if youre a bbw or not,ya dig?you gotta open all possibilities and opportunities for yourself if you want to make money.alot of times if you arent a SSBBW(super sized bbw) you wont make shit on niche sites.those guys are hardcore fat fetish fans and tend to go after the biggest girls on those sites.Im not saying you CANT make money on them by any means,just that the likelihood of it is very slim,unless you happen to fit into the ssbbw category.this has atleast been the conclusion ive come to,if someone else works these sites and banks,then by all means,correct me if im wrong,i dont want to give out false information!Also,its your first night.youre going to have MANY ups and downs,even after yrs of camming ladies still have their good and bad days.But from what everyone has told me,until you build and establish a solid client base where you have a good amount of regulars,you can expect to have some pretty crappy days.If you really want to do this,you gotta grit your teeth and stick it out until you can find your place in the camming sun.best of luck to ya hun!!

    It takes time to build up regulars (probably 80-90% of your income) and to do trial and error on all sites until you find the one(s) that work best for you, as well as finding your niche (customers generally end up picking it for you).

    Ive not posted on here before, but just to give you a heads up I worked last night at well and had a pretty slow night. I cam on JBC which is a niche site and the admin and I were talking about how slow it was for everyone last night, the whole site was slow.

    Ive taken some of the advice from the ladies here, who are awesome, and have signed up for the mainstream sites too.

    Welcome to camming. It will take a while to build up to earning well - if you are looking for huge amounts of cash right off the bat, this isn't the job for you.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    Sorry for not replying guys. I got a vanilla job, so then I was like...WELP, not patient enough to cam! But I'm thinking I may just do it on the side, because it seems kind of fun, you know? Outside of the annoying broskis asking you to stand up. (Also, hello summer vacation!)

    But yes, thank you for your replies! And I'm def. going to check out the BBW threads. And try to be patient. I thought camming was going to be this miracle job that magically endowed me with pots of gold the very first day I log on. Dumb, I know.

    Yup, this is what a lot of girls think when they first get into camming. I think that's why so many quit and move on. I love camming, but it's not for everyone.

    To answer a few of your questions, definitely get better lighting. Once I did that, my income greatly improved.

    Also, make sure you're using sound and talking to the guys (even in free chat). If you seem happy to be there, they'll want to take you private. Make sure you don't look miserable. On every cam site, the top earning models interact with their room a lot, so it's very important. I know there are some girls that use the "ignore" method in free chat, but in my experience, it just doesn't work.

    About the freebies, it really depends on what they ask for. Stand up once in awhile, but you don't need to stand up everytime someone asks. Ask for tips for certain requests, like I ask guys to tip if they want to see my ass or feet.

    Your not dumb at all for thinking it is " pots of gold " from day one. - that is the way we are recruited with hooks of how much money we can make. - keep your other job watch the ladies who are doing well - take from that what may work for you and Add your own personality - it will come for you if you work at it

    It's not that dumb - like Nikki said - that is the general assumption, and the way that sites advertise really doesn't help!!

    Even stripping (which is FAR more of a quick-money job) takes a little time to start really banking, because you are always finding your feet, figuring out which club rules are actual rules and which are ignored, figuring out your hustle....and most of all - getting comfortable getting naked for money!!!

    If you are patient and try different sites, different ways of working, etc, then you should be able to start earning well. Of course, it may be that the job just doesn't suit something about your lifestyle or personality - it really isn't for everyone, and there is nothing wrong with that!! Just keep being patient and experimenting - it may not magically give you pots of gold, but it WILL give you a great second income, and something to fall back on if ever something should happen with your vanilla job.
