    Default Advice please?

    Hi ladies!
    I'm new here , i've been reading the forum for about 2 months now, i love this place! And you girls are just awesome!!
    So i really hope my question won't annoy you (being a newbie/slightly pointless question)
    I need to make money somehow, so i've tried camming. It really doesn't suit me , unfortunately...it makes me feel awful. At first i thought i would just keep doing it, but then i found this place and i saw that everyone here thinks that you shouldn't do it if you're not comfortable with it. And i agree, it's just that it didn't seem like there were many other options.
    But i kept reading different subjects, and found that there are other things you could do , like selling panties or making videos for c4s.
    Now i know those are not as profitable as camming, but are they profitable at all? Especially the selling panties/socks/shoes thing, since i wouldn't be able to do lots of videos, given that many of those are not so different from camming.
    I've researched c4s, found a couple of categories i could do , and i think i'm going to try it, but i don't think i'll have much success with that.
    I've also researched selling panties, and figured out that i could only sell as much as i can wear, the only thing i wasn't able to figure out is, is there enough demand for them? Like are there many guys interested in buying them? or just a few?
    I'm sorry about the long and possibly pointless post, i guess my question would be, with panties, is it worth the trouble? from your experience, are there enough people willing to buy them?
    I know the only way to find out is to try and see, i just thought i would ask an opinion first, i didn't make much camming either, and i guess i just don't want to get my hopes up for nothing again. And i saw people asking advice or encouragements here so i thought i'd give it a try, there's no one else i could discuss this with anyway so...
    Thanks for your time and i apologize if i didn't post in the right place, i'm not sure if it should be here, or in the other work section...and for any mistakes i might have made, english is not my first language

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply!
    I've searched around here, read about sites like ELM, MUPS, Ebanned and so on, so i think i know where i could sell
    I was just wondering if there is enough demand for these things...this is what i couldn't find. I found some older posts, but not sure how much demand there still is now.
    Thanks again

    Okay...I want to take care of the part I bolded...
    There is no reason these things can not be as profitable as camming..
    There are MANY girls on her who make full time income on sites like mgf, elm and c4s
    The only way to know if you will be successful on a certain category on c4s Is to try it...the loose rule of c4s is The weirder it is the more it sells.

    Sheherezadaa, English is not my first language as well but I guess you did wonderfully in yours

    Besides what whirlerz said I should ask you... what exactly makes you feel unconfortable about camming? Being "fake" spontaneous? Being in the sex industry itself? Showing off your body? Your face?

    It would be important to knowledge what troubles you so we can give more advice beside panties selling... btw, I'm reading and researching about it as well, but I've realized that you're able to sell more panties and get more bucks for then if you have a background (like being knowledged in a camming site, in clips4sale or anything)... but I guess you can't make a living only for panties selling... please correct me if I'm wrong, ladies. As I said, I'm researching about it as well

    Right, what I was going to say, you were asking about the demand for panties..really with all this type of stuff discussed here on this forum, you have to establish yourself, market yourself/what you sell whether it's panties, videos, etc. somehow..like the guys seeing pictures of you wearing them, I know you don't want to show your face. Like I said, I don't have whole lot of experience, just kinda of a newer cam girl

    There is enough demand for content and products like videos, panties, used clothing, etc, that you could make an income from it. But, like everyone else has said, it needs marketing, etc, just like camming does. It's also a nice side income to camming because you are getting a lot of exposure for yourself when you're live. I switched from camming to passive income this year, and I love it. But everyone is different.

    Thanks!
    Well i guess it's a little bit of all of them.
    I mean in theory it sounds great, you have fun, enjoy yourself, show off your body and make something or a living from it. Awesome! It's just that when i actually tried it, it didn't feel so. I don't know, maybe it's because i'm still 23 and don't have much experience in the area, i'm not confident enough, or don't know myself very well yet. Right now it just seems overwhelming so that's why i thought i could maybe try something more vanilla first, or something with less direct exposure i guess.


    Thanks everyone for your replies! I know that as with everything, the success depends on how serious and consistent i am, how much time and effort i put in it, and no one can tell me weather or not i will be successful, i just wanted to know if there is enough demand out there. I've just learned about all these fetishes and i knew nothing about them up until now, so i had no idea of how many people would be into this particular one (panties). I've searched on google about it, found a couple of posts on experienceproject about it, but wasn't sure if they were written by actual interested guys or by people trolling, so i've figured you ladies would know
    So thanks again for all the encouragements, you are great!


    While on the subject, i see many of you sell on big sites, and some of you sell on your own websites, along with other content that you make.
    I've seen on the web that some girls have personal websites just for panties, but i didn't find much talk about that here.
    Do you think making a website just for this is not worth it?

    Honestly, I wouldn't do it. Many Countries it is illegal to sell used underwear, considered a hazard. I've sold one pair, and was worried about doing it. also, you have to make sure you don't use paypal or any other payment method that doesn't allow the selling of adult content. Not being rude, but no one really wants used undies, its the marketing and effort that comes with it. They want to see you wear the panties, and use them. It doesn't sound profitable at all in my opinion.

    If you are willing to put in a lot of time & effort at first with little financial payoff, then yes there is money in it. Income is like a snowball effect with those kinds of things.

    I personally don't think there's money in selling worn garments unless you already have a following on a cam site, through videos, or from porn work though.

    Yep guys will start asking you panties once you establish (or however it's spelt) yourself as camgirl or selling videos. I see many women around the net trying to make quick money out of panties but it is very hard if you are "no one" to the guys, meaning they haven't previously wanked for you I think you should try MyGirlFund it is an adult social network where you set up your profile and guys pay to message you, for your pics, vids and you can chat and make friends and followers. There is a big potential and the cool thing is that you can start with candid stuff and either keep it that way or test waters for naughtier stuff. At first I only took pics, now I have almost 200 videos - solo, fot fetish, socks fetish, jerk instructions, roleplays... but only because I felt comfortable. Just remember, whatever you put on the internet stays there forever.

    There has to be a connection to the panties being sold, like as seen on my cam or worn in a custom clip. I will sell them, if asked.
    One model takes them off right after her orgasm, packages and sends them off. She will sometimes see the same panties again when the guy receives them and comes back for another pvt and he masturbates on them.
    I have sold some toys that I used on cam....dils and butt plugs. I have to really jack the price to replace them.

    Thanks for the advice!
    From what I've researched there aren't such restriction where I live, although maybe I just didn't find them yet. But being a little familiar with the law in my country and a little bit with international law, somehow this just doesn't seem such a big crime. So I'm assuming that if there is such a restriction, it's probably a contravention. Plus, the scenario where someone would be found out on something like this seems quite complicated to actually happen or at least actually happen often. But thank you for your concern, I appreciate the thought.
    As for the rest, I am willing to make a video of me using them, just not showing my face, I don't know if that counts or not....and you are not rude at all, I see your point.

    I am willing to put in the time & effort, that's the price I have to pay for staying in my comfort zone
    But since my first problem was being uncomfortable with camming, I don't think I could create a following, except from c4s clips that don't show my face, which I suspect won't be very successful

    Thank you very much everyone for your opinions! I'm a little confused right now but all this helped me get a better idea of how things work

    oops, i probably shouldve added to my post that the issue with selling used panties is the actual shipping of them in itself. maybe try sending via a private carrier as you actually can get in a decent amount of trouble sending "hazardous material" in the mail

    i'm not exactly sure what your uncomfortable with when it comes to camming from your replies since you kind of just said everything?...
    but maybe you should consider trying non-nude webcamming. that's what i do. i don't get naked. and sometimes i tease like, dance in my clothes in private. but i don't even have to do that i just do it for my long time regs and my biggest spenders. and some of them don't even want to be teased they just wanna talk privately. i just hang out and sit in my chair on cam and talk about whatever and listen to music lol.
    if it's being in the adult industry period then obviously this wouldn't work for you, and it is a harder route since most camgirls do get x-rated. but i enjoy myself and i am comfortable with what i do on camera. on token sites like mfc personality counts for a lot! and lots of guys like the girl next door.

    however if it's your face you're concerned with showing maybe sticking to selling panties would be good for extra income yah. i see tons of clips on c4s for feet and stomping fetishes that show no face whatsoever. as well as many other things like portions of your face, like your mouth chewing gum, or fingernail tapping. i should try again on c4s i always end up putting it off, but i know if you were persistent it would really pay off.

    Thanks for all the suggestions, they are great!
    I was already thinking about them, and I think I'm going to try some of them...I was just unsure...
    Thanks for the positive push !
