    Default Kinda new to camming, just a question?

    Hi ladies ! I got into camming last year, July. I did it for about 10 days on MFC. It was ok at first but I was inconsistent and turned down privates/group because of shyness and ended up tanking my camscore lol. So Im thinking about joining streamate now and still give MFC a try (make some videos, etc, take it seriously this time). I see alot of models up here saying repeatedly to think of the risks involved in camming before doing it. I definitely have and am very ok with the risks, Im very liberal( so is my bf). BUT ONLY if Im making good money from this. I have read a specific model's posts, "Friday" I believe, and I agree with her wholeheartedly on the whole controversial remark "your making that much?.....for porn?" lol I know alot of ladies here actually love their job and enjoy getting guys off/attention, etc but uhm I cant really say I enjoy being jerked off too or the attention( but the flexibility is great), it does nothing for me at all( even though I love sex and porn).I have no problem faking it though, the regulars I gained and random guys really liked my shows and couldnt tell I may have been a little uneasy. In no way am i judging anyone, I would be an exotic dancer if I had rhythm Again I only see camming as worth it if Im making pretty good money tbh. This industry is very unpredictable, but sex will always sell and I dont see it falling too soon, so the money is there. Ok after that long rant/explanation, my two questions are; A. How do I know if I will make good money? now I see many saying this question cant be answered and that you have to try first ,but that involves me taking the risks( putting myself out in the internet, people seeing me masturbate, future employment issues) possibly for nothing. Someone could record me, and this could come up in a background check before i even get the chance to see if camming is lucrative for me.Do you see the mini-dillema? ok and B.Are there any more girls who dont particularly enjoy getting guys off, the attention, but the other perks outweigh it?
    I really got into camming for the flexibility and to help pay for school. Im 19 and my mom is a single mom and my brother has autism so this job definitely appealed to me because i could go to school and afterwards have all the hours i could get while being home to make sure my brother is taken care of. My mom doesnt trust anyone enough with my lil bro (neither do I really) So Id really like to be the one who has him when shes at work and after he and I get out of school. Id love to spoil my little family, they deserve it. Also in no way is this out of desperation, Ive always told my mom and dad that I see nothing wrong with stripping (well.... my dad WAS a stripper lmao) everyones open-minded and non judgmental,so it would be perfect

    Welcome to SW neneko!

    A. How will you know if you will make good money? We can't tell you that! I don't think anyone who started camming knew how much they'd make straight off the bat! But really, you have the power to decide that for yourself by how much you put into it. The chances are you won't make anything amazing at first. Well you might, (MFC would usually be the best place to make great money at first, but once your "New Model" tag goes, you need to make more effort to keep your placement up!) but just as easily you might not. But ultimately you are in control of your business and how much you take home by how much work you actually put into your job.

    It doesn't seem great to predict your earnings for you if you are so scared of getting on cam.. So I'd suggest that if you find it that hard to get on cam, I'd actually suggest spending some time chatting to people on Chat Roulette. I did this for a few weeks before my first shift, and it helped me bucket-loads.

    B. Are there any more girls who dont particularly enjoy getting guys off, the attention, but the other perks outweigh it? I'm not sure many high earning girls will tell you that they don't enjoy what they do? Passion for your work - and the actual quality of what you produce - goes a long way in ensuring you keep regs, keep your fanbase, and make a brand for yourself that sets you apart from everyone else. To make the big bucks, you need to cultivate that by pimping our your assets and knowing what it is about you that keeps them coming back for more.

    I don't get any sexual enjoyment out of my shows because I'm not there to pleasure myself - I'm there to WORK getting others off!

    There are girls who do get off on the enjoyment, but plenty of high earners whose pussies don't necessarily turn into Niagara Falls every time someone clicks into their private chat. Not relying on your work to arouse you has it's benefits because there will be many, many times where you aren't feeling sexy at all - general life shit takes it's toll on us sex workers just as much as any other person in any other form of employment - but you still need to work!

    As a side-note, pleeeease break your posts into paragraphs to make them easier to read!

    Best of luck!

    You sound like you've thought it over and know all the risks involved, so that's a great start! It sounds to me like you could do well with it, and if that's you in your profile pic you definitely have looks to your advantage, so I say go for it!

    Try to be on as much as possible during your "new model" period, that will help a lot in keeping you up higher in placement.

    Good luck!
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    Welcome!

    1. How do I know I will make good money?

    You don't. It is absolutely possible that you will try this for 6months, and never make the money you want to be making, and quit. If you think that you will absolutely hate yourself, or regret it, or anything like that if it doesn't pan out, don't do it. It isn't possible to say whether anyone will be good at anything - and I don't want to tell you "oh, you can absolutely make great money" and then have you NOT make great money, and be really upset. That said, I firmly believe that anyone CAN make good money as long as they put in the hours and the effort. The ones who quit and don't make money are usually those that expect it to come rolling in with no effort, expect it to come quickly, or expect to be able to randomly work a couple hours a week and make hundreds. Or, sometimes, those people who start out and just find that they hate it.

    2. Girls that don't enjoy it.

    Well, I think that you may be misunderstanding WHY a lot of girls that love it, love it! Loving the work isn't always about being turned on, or loving attention, or wanting to get guys off. Personally, I LOVE camming, but I don't usually get super turned on, or love getting guys off. Sometimes, absolutely! My horniness tends to go in cycles, and there will be one week a month where I am just super randy, and I DO get off, and I DO love the idea of a bunch of guys jacking off over me. But then there will be other weeks where I am just not that horny, and I don't think about it at all, or days where I am really not feeling it, and the thought of them jacking off is actually off-putting. What I always love is the interaction, the sales, the interest, the fascination with fetishes, the ability to use my brain and talk dirty....and then there are all the other parts of it - flexibility, control, drinking on the job (lol), not wearing pants...the things that I think you are referring to as "perks" are things that I see as an equal part of the job.

    Side notes from your OP.

    1. You don't need hella rhythm to be a stripper. At least, not unless you are a feature girl. If that is the only thing holding you back from stripping, then don't let it put you off! Give it a go!

    2. If you are really shy about guy seeing you - consider that camming may not be the job for you, or that you may want to do another KIND of camming. There are lots of non-nude options, as well as non-nude clips, fetish clips, or phone sex work. Don't so anything that makes you uncomfortable - although obviously there is a line between "this is new and a little weird but I'll get used to it" and "this makes me feel ashaamed/uncomfortable/not ok".

    Good luck

    lol thank you !Even though Im nervous and naturally shy, Im ok with guys seeing me as long as Im getting paid (having a little experience with MFC already, helps). I have absolutely no rhythm paired with stage fright and a not so great body, I will surely look idiotic. I didnt even factor in the whole giving guys lap dances part, so I may need to retract that previous claim lol I was definitely misunderstanding why alot of women cam sorry. I was worried that I was in the minority with my total disinterest in guys jerking to me and getting attention, nothing is wrong with liking it though. I actually make my bf do it in front of me(he thinks im weird ) , its just the stranger part I dont like. I will just have to give it a go and accept that I may be putting myself out there for nothing :/.
    But tbh Im determined to make this work, if not on Streamate, then by working hard to pull my camscore out of the grave . Unfortunately my time of the month has come so I will spend some more time researching and praying (that may sound weird lol) on it . Of course I could cam on my period but I really dont want ANYTHING holding me back from making the MOST money and gaining a fanbase in the slightest while I still have my "new girl" tag. I hope to become a very active member is this forum and not give up!!! ......on another note, OMG these emoticons are soooo addictive, please excuse my immaturity
