    Default Starting out, very frustrated

    Hi all,

    After reading through the forums I see much reason for motivation. I'm not model good-looking, but i'm a fairly attractive BBW (not huge, size 16) & am having a frustrating start to camming.

    I invested in a very good HD cam & good lighting. My profile pic is quite nice & from researching i'm doing everything right.

    I'm on livejasmin, people come in and leave right away. The people that do start a show are in for under 10 seconds & then leave.

    The only thing that I dont do 100% right is audio, I live in a shared house & need to keep the volume down - is this the reason i'm not getting many privates?

    I made $7 tonight over 2 hours and feel like complete s**t.

    Please give me hope, I'm worth more than $7 ffs!

    Thank you x

    Streamate took a while to actually setup my broadcasting account. Especially right now, I was told that there was a huge influx of new model applications, so it would take a bit longer. Ended up waiting about two weeks. Just signed up for MyFreeCams last week, got approved in a day, and started camming the next day. I am making two to three times more money on MFC than I was on Streamate, that's for sure.

    You should email Vanessa, she has helped a lot of girls get approved same day. Her info is here: http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sho...d-on-Streamate She works exclusively FOR SM and is NOT a studio, so don't be afraid to contact her.

    Also, the sites you are on I have read to be not very BBW friendly, or even TRAFFIC friendly. I think you will see better results with SM. Also, Jan has been pretty dead for most of us, so stick with it! Don't base your success off of one month!

    Good luck!
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    I have heard MFC to not be very BBW friendly. Hopefully a BBW model can chime in and confirm/deny that?

    Unfortunately, I can't confirm. But I do have to say that I have yet to see a BBW model. :/ Streamate would be the way to go, I would say. I tend to see those models do even better than the tiny ladies.

    MFC scares the ever living shit outta me,so i havent even tried to sign up for that camming thunderdome yet lol
    But im a BBW on SM and do quite well,when i can cam that is.
    I second contacting Vanessa,I got approved in a day through just SM alone but shes been very helpful to MANY ladies that had to wait extraordinary amounts of time to be approved

    I'm also a bit of a niche model, i.e. I am 40, and I don't broadcast all that often, just about 8 hours/month.

    It was really slow for me at first too and I almost gave up. Then one day after masturbating, having a great orgasm and feeling really hot, I got on and I was just all mellow and giggly. That was my first good day. Try to get yourself in a really mellow mood and don't do it when tired/stressed. good luck!!

    I'm not a bbw but I've heard this too...
    If you look at the top 100 or some of the girls w/high camscores(4000+) there are only a few bbws...
    Then again there aren't far too many successful non nude models (except the top top ones lol)

    Thank you for all the replies, most appreciated!

    I have contacted Vanessa, hopefully I can get rolling on SM sooner rather than later.

    Is there a way to check the top 100 on livejas? If so, how? If it's not very BBW friendly then i'm at the wrong site lol..

    Another few questions if you would be so kind to answer:

    1. Is it better for me to be sat at the desk upright in free chat or on the bed laying down/back chatting?
    2. Can I be successful with no audio? I live in a shared house & do not want others to hear. This will change once I have more money from camming!
    3. Any other sites other than SM good for BBW?

    Thanks all

    hiya
    this is just my opinion, sooo

    1) I would think it's more dependant on what makes you feel most comfy. That will convey onto cam, and you being more comfortable will raise your confidence and thus earnings.
    That being said, I saw a post the other day that made A LOT of sense. Someone here said, that she does NOT show her body on cam, because as a BBW, her body is a fetish, and therefore you must pay to see it.
    2) Yes you can be, however, if I were you I would at least have the audio ON, and just type if you don't want others to hear you talking. If they come in your room and you have no audio they may turn away. If they can at least hear you typing, and a bit of music, I think that it'd be better
    3) Im unsure of this, but to be honest, I would stick with SM

    I would also be sure to set rates $4-$5 per min to start. Looking at other bbws this evening, a lot were selling themselves short at $1-$2 per minute plus showing it all in chat :/ as a newbie, I have mine set at $4/$5 and it works
