    Default Scared outta my mind!!! JITTERS

    Well since monday ive been doing all the research i can on webcam modeling.. I was excited and ready to go...... but now im super afraid !!! ... i did it before 4 years ago but only did it for a few days because it was to nerve racking n no personal space . I just invested 700 bucks into this webcamming for equipment n supplies ...all my packages will arrive tomorrow and now i feel like im chickening out because what im REALLY afraid of is FAILURE and not making my goal amount of income...LETS FACE IT My body isnt the same i just had my second baby 2 months ago n i breastfeed... I have stretch marks and my boobs arent perky anymore and im not in the best of shape im in between .. maybe u girls could give me some words of encouragement !! ANYONE WITHOUT THE SO CALLED PERFECT BODY EARNING GOOD AND GETTING REGULARS? I feel like the first day of school !!!

    Take a shot, start some goofy music that makes you happy, grab a beer or a glass of wine to sip during your shift and get it gurl. You can dooo eet. Just get on and don't let them get to you. You'll do fine.

    P.S. NONE of us here have the so-called perfect body. IMHO, despite how much we love our jobs and how rah rah we are about camming, if any of us woke up as 13 year old fashion-model-types we'd probably drop camming and move to the nearest fashion center in a heart beat. We're here because if you've got the guts and the determination you can make it in camming no matter what you look like. There are even women out there who are selling themselves as "ugly women"

    Since you said you've been researching, I'm refraining from link bombing you with answers to the anxieties that you sorta voiced as almost questions (allllllllllllll of them have been answered before ad infinitum). I'm assuming that you found your answers long ago and you're just running off in a sneaky anxiety spiral. You need a kick out the cam door now!

    Let's crank that anxiety back the other way.

    You will never:
    Get to join the verified group here on SW if you don't get on cam.
    Make up your investment in gear if you don't get on cam.
    Know if you're any good at this stuff if you don't get on cam.

    It's better to know than to not know! Guts and determination are not earned by not getting on cam! GIT YO BUTT OUT THERE!

    I had the same issue when I first started. I would check out the girls on my site; the ones in the top rows. Most of them have 'normal' (read: attainable bodies with imperfections).

    The worst thing that can happen is you have a slow shift. Take every shift as a learning experience. Don't take the trolls seriously. Remember that your body opens the door, but your personality closes the deal. Don't give away anything for free.

    Welcome back and YOU CAN DO IT! There's a lid for every pot so never feel like you're not attractive enough therefore you have to overcompensate. One man's ugly is another man's beautiful!
    I am an outcast , a nonconformist and the kind that society rejects. If I can do well, I'm sure you can too!
    You can use a mirror as a metaphor for positive self-affirmation. Tell yourself 'I am beautiful. I am worthy and I approve of myself'. Say it until it finally sinks in. Confidence is vital! Please keep us posted

    Default Re: Scared outta my mind!!! JITTERS

    You can do it! I started camming after I researched for MONTHS, with a shitty camera, shitty lighting and shitty make up. I had no starting capital, basically, so I had to do it with what I had on hand. I had no toys, and I can't speak loudly because I still live with my parents and they are in the room next to mine. The day I was to start, first I watched other girl's cams and my self-esteem took a huge hit: Everybody was so pretty! Their make up was beautiful! Their bodies were perfect! The lighting, the camera, everything was perfect and HD. I had none of that. My body is kinda chubby and I had cellulite. But you know what I did? I cammed anyway. Chose the perfect place for my camera to be so the lighting wasn't so sucky and I looked 10x better. And my chubby body? Lots of guys like it. I can't speak loudly? Oh no problem, guys get turned out by the fact my parents are in the next room. I have stretch marks and cellulite on my legs but they aren't noticeable on camera. My boobs aren't perky either but every time I flash I touch them and tease and hold them together, they look so much bigger and better that way too, lol!
    I try to be funny, if I can't speak I chat a lot, I make faces on the camera(I was shy at first, but then I did and everybody was like "oh soooo cute!!" and a guy even took me prvt), maybe even dance a little bit! Be quirky! You have to be confident!
    I've only been camming for 4 days(two of them I couldn't even log on for half an hour because I wasn't feeling good) and I've made like 250$ in a total of, what? 6 hours? You don't have to worry, just be yourself(or just be your campersona, haha), and try to be consistent with a schedule! Be confident! Have lots of fun and worst case scenario is you have a slow shift. Ignore the people saying mean things, poor sad souls that have nothing better to do! Lots of luck!!!

    Edit: Plus from what I've seen lots of guys like breastfeeding/milk. There's also that!!

    Hey I have 3 kids - one pregnancy was twins so you can imagine those stretch marks! I'm also not I'm the best shape and have a few extra pounds on me. For me it's all about working the lighting and angles. Also, flattering outfits! I always wear a tank top and pull the straps down to show my tits, I rarely show my stomach because I'm self conscious of my stretch marks around my belly button from having twins.

    I also carry my weight on my butt/thighs/hips so I've learned to really play up the big butt thing. I actually used to hate my big ass and was self conscious until I learned to really play it up! Now it's my biggest money maker!

    Just find out what your best assets are and play them up! They might not even be what you feel are your best but what customers seem to like the best. It takes some time but you will eventually find your place.

    Also breast milk is a huge fetish if you want to go that route!

    Good luck!
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    Trolls are people who are mean specifically to get your goat and upset you. They're hoping to make you mad because they're pathetic, sad creatures and it makes them feel better about themselves if they make someone else cry.

    Most common ones are the ones who tell you that you're ugly. Then there are the ones who tell you that you're a whore or worthless. Then there are the ones who ask obnoxious, toxic things about potential past trauma. "tell me about the first time you were raped" Then there are the ones who ask for taboo things to watch you get disgusted that they even asked. "bb u got a dog?"

    All you've got to do is pretend like they don't get to you. Laugh at them. They hate that. Kick and ban them from your room. Vent to other cam girls about what they said. If it's really bad, log off and cry or punch walls or whatever. Then redo your makeup and log back on. Just don't melt down on cam or let them see they got to you. First, they want you to melt down. Second, if you start to get upset, other guys who have been lurking will start piling on too. That guy got attention from you. That guy got a reaction from you. The lurkers want that attention too. Now it's cool to mess with you, so they'll do it too.

    Here are some good threads to prepare yourself for trolls:
