    Question Okay, I really need to ask this.....am I the only one who DOESN'T have regulars?

    I have only been a camgirl for a year now -- but since day one I've always heard how regulars are important and how you need them to float you on the days where you aren't making any money.

    But seriously, I don't have regulars. Not one!

    Unless you count people who regularly go into my GOLD shows, but I mean it isn't like they are exactly floating me at that point.

    I also don't have regular hours. I actually find I get more privates that way since guys have learnt that they actually have to SCHEDULE privates with me. They can't just take it it for granted that I am going to be there.

    Now, I mainly work SM so this just may come from the perks of being a first page girl and having lots of traffic driven my way. I have been spending more time on MFC and my quickly falling camscore has been a slap in the face in teaching me that their are some sites that you NEED to have regular or you are just not going to make any money.

    Are there any other camgirls out their who make their daily goals easily without keeping regular hours or having regulars? I mean, it can't be just me...right?

    If you don't have regulars, its probably because you don't have a niche? Its almost impossible to make good $$$ without regulars.

    Hmm.. I was actually just thinking about this the other day. I do have regulars, but not as many as I would like (I have only been on my new site for 2.5 months and have been sick the whole time so my schedule's been inconsistent). I notice a HUGE difference in my earnings when my regulars aren't around, and it kind of scares me when I think about how slow some days are without them.

    Personally I think it's great that you do very well without regs. Every regular has a shelf life so it's got to be pretty liberating to know that if one or two up and disappear suddenly it's not going to impact your earnings.

    I have a few regs but my best days ever were always the ones when regulars didn't show up. Except for a single day, when one regular spent shittons of money on me, but never came back since.

    Btw I think you have HUGE niche(s) lol.

    Did you mean it is because I do have a niche?

    Because I do have a niche and I can see how that would make it easy to make money without having regulars now that you mentioned it.

    I'm sorry but what exactly is a niche? I don't have much regulars either and I do decent. I'm a Transsexual so that is a novelty, a fetish in itself. So many men out there with a fetish for girls like me so there's always guys wanting to pay for something new and exciting.

    ^^^ A niche is a novelty. You def have a niche because t-girls are a niche.

    Okay! I am starting to get it. I have always felt like I am camming in a different world that other camgirls and now I finally understand I kind of am.

    I now truly understand why everyone talks about the importance of pushing niches (or as GlamourRouge fantastically put it 'novelty'.) I am just starting to wrap my mind around the fact how having something that is 'novel' about you can really spoil you as a camgirl and give you 'special' privilleges -- such as not having regulars. Since you are a novelty then their will always be someone in line to see 'the freakshow' (as I so lovingly call myself.)

    Wow it only took me a year to figure this out, huh? Well, I never did claim I was the sharpest tool in the shed.

    Marina - you crack me up with your gifs!!! Love you!

    Just - I really do think it has something to do with your..ahem..."niches"....very few girls have such glorious natural niches to play with....LOL! But I also think that it does have a lot to do with your placement...of course, then we get into a chicken and egg debate about THAT - because how do you get great placement? You make great money. And if you need regs to make great money, then obviously you were making money BEFORE you got great placement, in order to get the placement....that is apparently making you the money....is your brain spinning yet? LOL

    I will also say that although regs are lovely and important, it is ABSOLUTELY possible to make damn good money without them. I saw it in clubs, I see it on cam - and it depends on the type of person you are, and what you want - how you work your hustle. Some girls see regs as much easier money, because they can be counted on to come by once a day/week/month and drop a lot of money - but sometimes it drives me nuts, because I'm just not in the mood to deal with them right then and there, and I have to if I want to keep them....and I am not a huge fan of guys that start to really think that they are your friend, or have a real relationship. Ugh.

    Because of that, I have developed a nice little pattern. Guys will meet me, fall madly in love, and then spend a few months hanging out, buying shows, buying me presents, sending me tributes....and they either get drained (paypet style) or get bored once they realize that a real life meet or extra attention is not forthcoming. Then they bugger off, and I get a new crop. Happy medium.

    If you are happy and making targets without regs - awesome!

    Not only that, but if you're good at your niche, you will instantly build regulars who will want to keep coming back. Especially if you're the best of the best or the most novel in that niche.

    I don't think you necessarily need a niche to have regulars. I think you just need to keep a consistent schedule and give a good show. If you keep a consistent schedule I'm almost 100% positive that you'd have regs. To me regulars/customers are those that spend money.

    I have a few regs but some of them don't get daily/weekly shows or at least they haven't been lately. I notice that alot of them have gone M.I.A too. I dunna whether its because they; haven't signed on/lack of money, moved on to another model, or don't see me in their favorites. I had one reg tell me that he didn't know that I was online and I told him make sure to add me to your favorites...He said that he already did. I thought it was just a gliche on his end but I see more and more SW ladies say that their regs have said the same thing. I'm sitting here thinking that I lost a bunch of regulars when they probably don't even know I'm online because SM hasn't fixed the favorite gliche.

    I have quite a few regulars. Most are guys that do shows, so I'm okay with them and will go out of my way to give all of them that extra attention from me. Luckily right now my paying regulars far out weigh the ones that just sit there and try to take my time up. I usually give these guys at least two weeks to do a show. If no show or no tips in that time period, then I'm all done with chatting non-stop to them. It's a hi from me and that is all. My attention is given to the other new guys popping in.

    some of my best days were when regulars weren't there. They can be intimidating to others or make some people feel like they don't need to tip because a regular will handle it.

    A lot of the reason girls don't make money is because the don't have one. But its usually because they haven't cammed long enough. Customers pick your niche really.

    I am in total agreement with you GlamourRogue. I remember when I first became a camgirl everyone told me that you don't choose you hustle that your hustle choses you. I was shocked to find out it was true! The camming persona I have now is miles away from the one I started with.

    I have regulars but I actually prefer not to have regulars..LOL I like having new guys. Sometimes I just hate the whole small talk and all that and some regs are just draining but eh then again I do not do relationships in real life so never liked really seeing the same person over. But they are good for slow days as they come through but like someone mentioned above my best nights on cam were actually days when I did not have regs coming through so I do not even know how to put all that together..LOL

    I have a few regulars (very very few), and I absolutely adore them. They keep my room lively, and they even tip sometimes (lol). But they are in no way a necessity.


    I will say though, maybe your lack of regulars is because of your methods. People pay to see the 'freakshow' and then decide "Okay, I've seen it, now what". No offense meant of course, just pondering.
