    Dizzy Amount of Exposure x Earnings + How's your life?

    Hey girls =D


    I'm sorry I was gone from the forum for somedays, specially to my friends who sent me PM these days. I'll answer you all tonight ok? Miss you already =D Anyway, I've been some kind of trouble here and I would like you girls to help me out, if you can. I guess I'll split in topics as I've read if again and it's a huge text, sorry for that.




    THE CONCERN


    As you know, I cam with the "blessings" of my husband. He even helped me out in a new set of pictures on monday, outfit exchange, research for nice sexy positions for the pictures and - later on - he corrected lights and stains on Photoshop (mainly on the wall and my skin) while I was actually working on cam.


    This thursday I was uploading the pictures and he came talk to me, with his concerns. He said he was too worried, he thought about the pictures and he realized people can copy pictures and spread around much easier than record my sessions. And there's my body and my face in there. He said he's afraid people will find out about me, actually that they'll have great chance to find out about my job if I post the pictures and keep doing that. Besides that, he told me about the future: if people notice my camming profession our lives would be hell, according to them. People would point me on the streets and treat him as a "husband of a whore". You see, our town has just 35.000 people living here. It's really small, but he has been here forever (he was born here). I'm from a huge city in our country, 14 million people. So that's different, I guess.


    He said he was shocked after he saw on TV a really sad story where a guy drunk and got his car, and ended up running over a man in a bicicle. He tore his arm off in the accident! The bicicle guy survived, but in the end he had no right arm, and that was his "main arm". My husband got shocked because the driver's family was hostilized BAD here. People even threw eggs at the guy's father. What do they have to do with the accident?? I mean, the driver must pay... but was his father there helping him to screw things up?


    He's afraid besides people point me out on the street, people will point out his family as well. And, above everything, he's concerned for our children... we don't have any yet, but we plan to have them someday. Living here would be impossible for them, he says.


    So he told me to keep working, but don't post pictures of my face. If I need, just in the bio picture and with no tits/butt/etc. WITH MY FACE. If I show something, no face on that. And he said he knows it won't save the day, but will make things harder for someone to find out.


    About me, I can mention I don't care people finding out for me. They don't pay my bills. But I worry about my kids, family and I worry about my husband as well. I've been so bullied in childhood that I carry my troubles till nowadays. I know how it's like to be bullied and I've grown a shield for that. But my hubbie really seems to be troubled about it, and I don't wanna hurt my children in the future.




    EARNINGS ON WEBCAM


    My husband also thinks camming is some kind of "endless scam" where you work lots and get little. That some girls really manage to make something out of it but most won't do much, and he thinks I'll go that way. He said it's not because I'm ugly, actually he says I'm beautiful and a great acquisition to any website, according to him. But that there are so many girls with full-time exposure and really good connection... my connection sucks and I can only work 3 or 4 hours/day. I've been camming for 3 weeks and made 100 dollars so far.


    The first week I've worked a little but spent a long time applying for websites. The second week I've worked about 4 days but I was waiting for my new internet connection, which didn't work so I gave up. And the third week I got really really sick, really bad PMS that made me stay in bed for two days. I never had such horrible cramps. Now I'm good as new and working again, this will be my forth week.


    So, counting bad connection, little time because of my main job and the other topic...




    PRIVACY X EARNINGS


    I love camming so much... it's really fun to change outfits, research for the best lights, nice positions, good shows and really showing myself on camera. But I feel like not showing my face and having so many restrictions (the ones above) will affect my earnings! What do you think, girls? I'm a marketing girl and I was soooo eager to have a good Twitter, C4S, and build the right aura around my persona... and now it's all gone, not showing my face will afect everything I've planned.




    DISGUISE


    I was thinking about having a black wig for me, change my eyes color... so I can keep showing my face, but I feel maybe I'll look like a clown ¬¬ besides, can you imagine I'm putting wig, lenses, make up and outfit every single day... it will be hell...




    FOR THE GIRLS ALREADY "OUT" ABOUT CAMMING...


    Did people point you out? Did you have problems with your kids, if you have them? Did you have problems with your parents, or in your town (if you're from a small one?). I know my country is different, but I would love to hear from you.




    FOR THE GIRLS WHO HIDE ABOUT CAMMING...


    How long have you been hiding you camming job? Why do you hide it? No one ever suspected? What do you do to hide it? Do you show your face of use a disguise? If you don't show your face, does it affect your earnings? Do you sell on C4S?




    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I'm sorry again for the long post, but this is really important... I feel like if I'm doing half thing, I shouldn't be doing it at all. If I can't do a good marketing job on camming, why bother camming at all? I don't wanna stuck a dildo in myself to make like 100 bucks a week... it's worth at least 500 bucks a week, or more! But can I reach it having so many troubles in my way? I'm so sad about all of this... I really wish you girls could help me out...

    Thank you for reading =* I'm eager to read your opinions

    Somewhere down the road - you'll be found out
    By someone you know. Not only can your pictures be stolen but guys record us all of the time, share it on the forums, and porn tube sites. Once its out there, its a bit hard to get down, especially if your video happens to go viral.
    Basically of you or hubby are concerned about doing this and the repocussions you may have with it in the future, I'd really consider doing something other than camming.

    guys go on camming sites for more than tits and ass. think of it like you're their long distance girlfriend. every guy wants to feel special, wants to feel wanted, wants to see a cute girl whos into him. how's that going to work when he can't see your face? how are you going to connect with them? there are SO many cam girls out there, and guys aren't spending all their time with you. he sees tons of faces every night, the odds of him seeing you on the street and knowing you are pretty slim. and you can always geoblock your local area, like if you live in vegas block out all of vegas and no one in that area can view you. if showing your face isn't an option you might want to consider doing something else. i ran a little test... the smile test. lol i spent a couple hours on cam, and i was very calm and only smiled when something was REALLY funny. i made maybe $80. the next day, i was energetic, talkative, giggling, and smiling basically the whole time. I made $300 in like 2 hours. it was awesome. the face makes a HUGE difference.

    Well yes, there is always the possibility of being found out. It's just something you have to weigh the options on. If its something your husband isn't okay with you definitely need to think it over. You can try to change your appearance through makeup, wig etc which may help some but you have to decide if you can take the risk. I've seen girls do C4S with out showing their face BTW you could try that, I don't really know how profitable it would be. Perhaps a sexy mask (if you go the domination route you could work that as an angle)

    As far as earnings go, its hard to say. If your not happy with what your making and you have all these other concerns maybe camming isn't right for you. You have to weigh your opportunity cost here (Never thought I'd be taking a page from old Macroecomomic classes but its valuable in real life situations lol) but look at it like this- when you factor in all the costs, not just monetary- but the risk of being found out, the hassle of getting your internet connection, the time it would spend to potentially disguise yourself every day when getting on cam, and basically all the other costs associated with camming, and you look at what your actually making money wise you have to ask yourself if it's worth it. Its a personal decision that only YOU can make. Not even your husband but YOU.

    Hugs!

    From all the research I've done not only here on SW but on other forums as well, I can only say that someday someone will find out about you, even if you don't post your pictures and clips all over with your face in them. It's been repeated over and over by lots of camgirls: someone will someday find out, wheter be it tomorrow or years from now.

    And, even if they don't, even if you don't show your face... My opinion is that if you're this uncomfortable with the idea, so much as to being afraid of people poiting at you on the streets, it's gonna stress you a LOT to work under those premises. if you don't feel you're free enough to deal with being found out, you're gonna feel the pressure all the time. It's probably gonna show, too, so it will most probably affect your earnings negatively.

    And, no matter how much you make, living in fear of being treated like a lesser person on your town... Would it be worth it?

    I disguise myself. I look completely different on cam.

    Someone would have to be specifically looking for me to find me and I doubt that would ever happen, and seems to me if it did they would be trouble whether I was camming or not.

    I enjoy getting into my character with a different hair color and totally different clothes and makeup.

    It is an acting job, after all. Have fun with it!

    Let me share my experience with you. I hide my face as much as possible. Not because I don't want to be found out. but because I have bad acne and don't want to make it worse by putting products on it everyday. It's almost impossible to be successful with no face. You know a customers number 1 pet peeve is "decapitated models". They HATE it. Sometimes when I accept a show and my face is off view because I've literally just ran from the kitchen and slammed my mouse down on the accept key..... they instantly leave. No face = No wanna stay. Even if I only show face for 5 seconds at the start of the private and then not again for 5minutes, they are happy.
    As for Twitter, your photos get retweeted not only that but there are sites that exist that copy ur images without ur consent. for example: twicsy.com. thats right. u post ur photo u delete it. 2 months later u notice its on twicsy.com without u ever even knowing the site existed. There are other examples I cant be bothered to mention. But yeah your 1 photo instantly multiplies into 100. As for selling photos with no face u wont get many sales.
    Also dont bother spending so much time and money on outfits, u will spend most of the time naked and also wearing sexy lingerie doesnt know anything but allow guys 2 jerk off 2 u in freechat without paying. i also wear a full outfit. tights, shorts, tshirt, lingerie underneath. if they wanna see my sexy lingerie they gotta pay. it also means u spend more time stripping and therefore = more money. as for researching sexy positions, men dont care what position u r in. once they bought the photos theyll zoom on ur pussy and tits anyways. What im sayng is less time researchy more time actually earning. whilst u spent 2 hrs researching that shit u could have taken 300 photos and uploaded them already. sometimes quantity is better than quality, in my case i found out quality didnt matter, i am the product and guys wanna see me no matter how much effrt i spent on the photo. im good at editing so i can make my photos look great fast and easily, as for videos i dont have much success with videos and i dont know why. realise all u really need is ur body and a webcam and the rest is wasted effort.

    I'm hiding and I actually hope no one finds out soon. I'm not really hiding my face, although I started to hide it on preview pictures on ELM. Maybe I'll buy a wig someday, I think it will be fun

    Not showing your face doesn't change much hun. I still have over 1,700 followers on twitter lol. I don't post pictures or videos with my face in, don't show my face in free chat, and purposely don't use certain forms of promotion/ marketing that would gain me extra exposure (like documentaries/ video blogs etc) in order to keep my privacy. Besides keeping my face out of all but paid camshows and using much stronger makeup than usual, I don't do much in the way of disguising myself. I figure one day someone WILL recognize me, and I'd rather they see me as confident and comfortable with what I'm doing rather than trying to hide myself. I'd hate to come across as embarrassed or ashamed of it. That way I figure it will keep any fuss to a minimum.

    Even with all this my earnings haven't suffered in any way Sure I could probably earn more with more exposure, but the money isn't worth the possible personal consequences x

    What country are you from, if you don't mind sharing? In light of recent camming events... you might want to double check that camming won't possibly get you into serious legal issues in your country/town. How you describe the possible reaction and the reaction to the car accident example doesn't sound too good.....

    I always tell people that you WILL be found out, because the chances are so high that you will be seen. It's only a matter of time. There are lots of things you can do to reduce the chances, but the risk is ALWAYS going to be there. The best thing to do would be to keep it extremely private, as in do not tell a single friend or family member no matter how much you trust them. Disguises work too... but I suggest a really good one if you are going to go that route. I've seen quite a few awful disguises on cam sites that I'm pretty sure are not helping with earnings... bad wigs, etc. If you are going to do the disguise route, invest some money into it so it looks natural.

    Not showing your face seems to usually result in a lot less earnings, not because of lack of promotion but because guys are wanting that personal connection from cam girls. Refusing to show your face denys them that personality aspect and they easily move on to the next girl. I know it works for some, but my best guess is that it's not that profitable.

    If you have only made $100 so far in the time you've been online, and you both have all these serious concerns, why not look into other mainstream areas of income? It can be said that camming is only "worth it" if you are making significant income. Personally, if I had these types of concerns and to the degree that you and your husband do, I better be rolling in the cash to make it worth it for me.

    So I guess you need to ask yourself, is the money you are making worth it?
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    Hey girls first of all i would like to thank you so much for your answers. That meant a lot to me, as the only one I can talk about that is my husband. Thank you! *hugs*

    You see, I'm not concerned about me being discoreved or even pointed out in streets. That's my husband's concern, and I take seriously if he's unconfortable or not. I mean, it will affect his life as well so I need to consider it.

    As for the pictures, disguises and everything I've considered it because i think good cute pictures in my profile will make me more than a bunch of pictures not showing my face, just ass, tits, body, etc... right? Or wrong? As said, there are girls who still can make money with this kind of picture as promo, anyway.

    I don't intend to not show my face on camera, just in pictures. Even in the main picture is ok, as long as it's softcore.

    I've made 100 bucks so far for some reasons like applying, buying camera, getting sick... Didn't have time to work much. But i am sure i can make much more. Just i need to know if not showing my face in pictures We usually publish in cam websites for our profile may take profits away.

    I live in Brazil and here pornography is completely legal, no worries about that.

    If i choose disguise so my pictures may have my face, i am aware it needs to be good and natural. But i don't think i'm going that way.

    So, do you girls think i'll make less if my promo pictures doesn't show my face? I'll keep just the main one, softcore.

    I'm aware it works shit to cover me and I'll be found someday, but my husband feels better that way. I know i might sound like he controls me, but he doesn't. He is ok if I want to do it fully anyway. But I just cannot ignore his feelings.

    I'm sorry for any mistake in the text and for not mentioning girls names while I answer what was asked, i'm writting through an iPod and it sucks :-P

    Thank you for the support girls i want to hear your opinions after that, but i feel like i can go oh like that that's great because I LOVE CAMMING

    I don't hide being a cam girl but I don't announce it either. It's a need to know basic only. The only person that knows is my sister because I recently came out to her and it didn't go over very well. So from now on, I will not tell another person if I could help it. I think some have suspected but nobody would dare ask me about it to my face.
    The chances of you being found out are more than likely so if you're not comfortable with that, then don't do it. I understand the feeling of being outted because there are a lot of mean and ignorant people in this world. It can be extremely devastating. To give you an example, not too long ago I was outted to my whole town as a Transsexual woman so wherever I go, people would stare and whisper because it's like a novelty. It used to bother me but now I just don't give a fuck. That's also my attitude towards camming. It's my life, so I do whatever the fuck I want, however the fuck I want. Good luck!

    Marina, I don't care being found out. But i don't want to make things easier do you make good amount of money camming like you said? Not much exposure but showing face on camera? Can i build regulars and fans that way? That's my concern cuz, if I'll be stuck making 100 bucks a week then it's just not worthy it...

    I don't think that will affect your earnings very much. You seem very determined about camming, so I think you'll find a way.

    I don't work a lot of works but for what I put into, I do make good money. Camming is not my main source of income, so I work whenever I have the time or feel like it. I am a novelty so I don't need regulars. I don't promote for exposure or things of that nature but I do show my face on cam. If I remember correctly, your internet is very slow correct? I work on SM but I am positive if you put in the hours with good computer and decent internet, you should be making way more than $100 a week.

    You remember my internet is slow haha XD well, it didn't show being a manor issue, only when i've tried to splitcam. At SM my first day was ZERO dollars, but it was monday, oh well... But i did use the encoder. I guess that won't have a huge difference, but working on getting a better connection. My Pc is ok, no freezing and stood for Sm encoder no freezing. Well, i guess i can go for it! Thank you ladies

    I'm a domme on cam and on european websites i never show face.
    the visitors on the sites I cam on have really low cam quality standards so its fine since I have an HD cam nd big cleavage to pretty up their view.


    in real life i have a different hair colour than I do on cam.
    in real life im a tiny B cup on cam it looks like im an e cup.
    in real life im so pale i almost glow in the dark on cam i look naturally tanned like an italian.

    chances of people finding me will be tiny.

    then IF they do. .Yes I get paid to verbally abuse people and make fun of them.
    Oh yeah and I earned almost $1500 by selling close up videos of my hands feet and teeth.

    IF they would out me for that they're just jealous

    Default Re: Amount of Exposure x Earnings + How's your life?

    I'll go for that girls, thank you =D Just didn't decide if I'll show my own face and not show them in pictures or if I'll desguise myself completely.

    Disguise sucks, I mean... it's wonderful, but I can just imagine the amount of make up, wig, lenses and everything to look different every single day... I just can see procrastination and lazyness before camming... one to two hours preparing myself, iicks

    But I seldom wear make-up in real life and I wear a lot in cam, maybe it helps XD Anyway, I'll keep camming yey =D

    I don't think contact lenses make that much of a difference so I would skip that step.

    A wig and different makeup don't really take that long once you get a routine going. Takes me a lot less time to put on a wig properly than it would to fix my real hair! If I really am energetic about it I can be ready in 10 minutes.

    Thank you for sharing

    If you don't really want to show your face in the promo images make it fun. Wear some cool eye masks and make it a mystery who you are. That will drive them crazy and make them want to do shows to see who you really are. Honestly personality is more important then looks. If you are a bitch no one will like you, if you are fun and nice to chat with you will build regulars.

    I would talk to your husband because if he is going to support you, he can't think what you do is a scam. Not sure why he thinks that unless he had a bad experience with a cam site.

    Its a double edged sword...I disguise myself but keep in mind if you have ANY tattoos,youll have to cover them if you go the disguise route.Unless theyre super tiny and wont show up on cam.And if theyre unique,theyll give you away in a heartbeat no matter how good your disguise is,bc if someone actually knows you and suspects that its you,no wig in the world can hide a distinguishing tattoo.

    When I first started camming,I wore a wig,contoured with makeup like CRAZY,wore my makeup way differently,used huge false lashes,painted a beauty mark on my face AND covered up my most visible tattoos.One is in a place that is sooo visible its just ridiculous and its custom, to boot.It took me 3-4 hrs to get ready every single day.I got burnout within like 6 wks bc it was just tooo much! I had to step back and assess the situation and my goals/feelings/life,weigh it all out,and slowly start working through my fears-now Im shedding my disguise bit by bit (well except for my lashes,but thats just cuz I cant live without them now)

    Also keep in mind that no matter how "softcore" your face pics are,if they are on a camming site,then you may as well just post a nude pic with your face showing.Youre still associating your face with a cam site,and lets just face it,theres just no way to defend that and say "weeeeell,it was JUST my face!".They wont care.They still know what you're doing for money regardless.

    you COULD always go the clips route though.Fetish clips are extremely popular and while it may take you awhile to build up some actual residual income,its def a way to still be in the industry without pounding your puss all day while being recorded by x amount of douchebags.

    What would your husband think if you were associated with fetish clips that were non nude? Do you think it would matter to people in your country? Sometimes it wont because just the word fetish brings so many stigmas to peoples minds.But you could film clips that didnt involve anything sexual at all really - teeth,baking,mouth/lips,eating,smoking,giantess etc etc etc the list goes on FOREVER...

    Keep in mind that as long as you never tell a SOUL what you do,and never admit to it if youre ever confronted,denial can be your best friend.

    The other day I was looking at other models profiles and came across one that made me do a double take so fast it gave me a whiplash.Theres a new model that looks sooo much like me,and I have never been mistaken for someone else,ever-Im just that type of person (which is why I was so insistent about disguising myself) At first I was pissed and kind of defeated,like "really?I went through all that trouble for mths just to find my real face on SM anyways!" but once I thought about it,I realized it actually works in my favor.Now I can blame anything someone finds on me on her lol!

    You can always deny that its you,even act innocent like "what is a camgirl exactly?.. omg,people PAY girls to masturbate on the interwebz??" or you could even say " no,thats not me.yes,Im aware that it looks like me.You are about the 30th person to tell me this,its nothing new.You found her on x site,didnt you? Ive looked her up myself,after the 4th or 5th person accused me of being her,I had to go check her out and see if we really did look alike.You know what they say-everyone has a twin somewhere in the world,mine just happens to be a camgirl unfortunately.Its so embarrassing" So many possibilities that you could come up with.But,no excuse/line/story is ever fail safe,you have to be VERY careful in this line of work,VERY careful,if you arent wanting the whole world to know...

    Hey girls =D

    I'm back! I've been away for some time as I was soooo busy with my "real job" and I was so upset I couldn't have a good internet connection... But now I've made a good agenda for real job work, I've got a wonderful internet connection and got my Payoneer card today... well, good winds blowing for camming.

    I keep showing my face on promo pictures. I just use lots of make up and I seldom use them in other opportunities. I'm trying to cultivate my "I don't care about looks" girl (like tom boy, as I've been for a long time) in the real world and keep wearing wonderful stunning make-up on camera. Specially red lipstick, which I seldom use real life (and now I'll just never use again). Always on camera, never on real life. The difference is impressive.

    I've got two tattoos: one of them is a drawing I found on the internet but was not meant to be a tattoo. There could be others who had the same idea as me, turning that into a tattoo. The problem is the other one I've got, which is pretty unique and I guess no one would never have something slightly like this one. But it's easy to hide as it's in my ankle. But I guess tattoos just show off, you know? In real life my clothing almost never shows mine. It would be a pain to disguise them every day and would take lots of concealer (and the good ones aren't cheap).

    I'm decided to let it go. I'll do the things my husband ask me for safety, like this picture thing (which I see no point). I'll also produce non-nude clips to upgrade my earnings (I love fetish material). I'll keep using this make-up "disguise" thing. And I'll use denial if someone ever asks me. But I won't treat it like it's the end of the world, you know... I'm passing my clients to an employee (real world business), so I'll seldom have contact with my clients. I'll keep working in the company admistration, but I'll avoid client contact. My "magic" into business doesn't require that. I guess it will expose less of who I am in real life, because my greatest fear is ever being found by a "real-life" client of my work (I'm a creative).

    I'm so happy about how camming is going. I guess I'll ask for verification in the forum this week Thank you girls for your help *_*
