    Default Cammiversary - how to capitalize?

    Hey babes. I def don't want this post to be a "Hey, tell me what you did so I can steal it" kinda thing. I'm just curious...if you wanna share some ideas, what worked, what didn't.....I'd love to hear. Or plz share a fun story about a rad gift from a follower, what you learned about yourself from year to year, orwhen your cammiversary is so we can shower each other with best wishes...... whatever. ...... my ONE YEAR is coming up in March!!! It def flew by. And it can only get better!

    My advice is - DON'T capitalize it (or any other personally significant date like birthday) at all unless you need at least one really awful camming day a year so other shitty days would look good in comparison. If you believe your regulars will spoil you - they WON'T. Mentioning it's your special date will attract tons of demanding cheapos looking for free-show parties, holiday specials, discounts and giveaways and also give trolls a punchbowl to piss in. For me, it basically looked like this:

    The best regular: Oh so it's your birthday? Nice, think I can do something good for you! *goes pvt* Wish you a happy B-day! *tips 10 Gold* Now I'm gonna let you go so you could share your joy with other guys out there! Hope they spoil you rotten! *leaves*
    The troll: LMAO what is there to celebrate about getting even older and uglier? Stupid bitch.
    The broke freeloader: Party time! Let's change into something sexy and dance!
    The guy who asked for freebies on his "birthday": Congrats! What are you gonna treat us to?
    The guy who doesn't know what NO means: So, it's your birthday? Any chance you fuck your ass tonight?
    Everyone: SMILE BB! IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

    They will give you a guaranteed mental breakdown in the first 3 or 4 hours. If you feel the need to share it - let it be a few chosen members who do care about you, but don't announce it to the general public.

    ^^^ OMG! This EXACTLY has been my experience also. Both with camanniversary, and Birthdays.
    Hope, if You do decide to do it Melly, that You haver a better experience than I have had.
    I did it when camming was easier than it is now, so I'm sure I would have a mental breakdown in about a half hour, and go on a MAJOR banning spree.
    Best of luck, and please report back.

    I just had a birthday and I was lucky I guess, I had two or three custies give me amazon gift cards and I got some tips just because it was my bday. I guess everyone has a different experience.

    My birthday went pretty well....... amazon gcs, my best reg sent me perfume, etc etc. I kinda made it a 2 week long affair. I was thinking IF i do the cammiversary, it would be like the last 2 wks of March. Hmmm. Now to weigh the pros and cons.

    Woow great it went well for you! I kinda celebrated it by decorating my room with baloons and stuff, hoping they would notice.. but they didnt. It also bummed me out that you have to repeat that it is youre birthday every damn time since they dont even notice it when my room is stuffed with ballons and a sign above my head with "haappy birthday" on it.

    Oh yeah, a guy took me private and gave me his "nice big present" for me to watch on cam... Yeah I sure liked that -.- (I did liked the money though from the private- not complaining..

    So to make it short; I expected to much, and it turned into a big ruined day for me because of my expectations. Next year I just wont expect anything nice, so it can not bring me down. Probally wont even celebrate it on cam

    ^^ Tell them Your dog died, and those fuckers would probably go off on a tangent and ask if You've ever fucked him, etc.
    I don't even show my teddy bears in the background, because I know what that would bring up in chat.

    I never expect to bring in the money on my "special" days. Even on holidays that make bank, I expect it's because all the top ladies are out partying and were kind enough to leave their regulars behind. That said, I play up anything I can just because it gives me something to talk about. If not that, I'd just be rambling on about assembling IKEA furniture. It's happened before!

    My cammiversary is also in March! Yay, cam buddies.

    I have never gotten trolls.
    I have received very nice gifts via amazon or money.
    you will get a lot of guys "I will get you next week" lol no they wont. (people that talk the talk usually don't walk the walk, also keep this in mind while guys are in your free chatting away)


    I have one customer that waits til the strike of midnight my time of a special date and do a realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly long session telling me how much I mean to him. I know its sweet of him to do but dang how many times are you going to ask me "are you having fun?" while he spills his heart out. Its actually painful to sit through.

    I really think this depends on the type of customers you have and your relationship with them. If they come to see you just to jerk off & leave then NO they arent going to bend over backwards to make you feel special on your special day. Now if your one of those girls that gets tipped for Hanging out or gets emails when your not online for a day or 2, then yea guys are going to care about your special day.

    Ie if your miss GFE Camgirl or Miss UberDomme then yea guys will probably send you goodies, if your Miss WamBamThankYouMam or StripperBarbie then your probably out of luck.

    This past holiday season was the 1st time I did anything special. I wasn't going to do anything, until the day before I was talking about it and some of my regulars encouraged me to. So I went out and got decorations and made up little games/activities. It was a total bust. (I made my regular daily goal, nothing special) It may have been because it was last min and I did NO promotion, or maybe because I didn't put a lot of thought behind it and was only able to get the leftover decorations, or because I hyped it up in my head to be the incredibly awesome, fun, money making day. Honestly I've done 5 times what I made that day, just on a regular day.

    But that is not going to stop me from trying again. But this time I know better. I'm not going to EXPECT some ungodly amount of traffic or tips. It will more so be exactly what it's supposed to be...a celebration! I'm just going to have fun, and enjoy a day of camming that doesn't feel like camming. Whether I make nothing or bank, I will have a good day. It's my cammiversary god dammit! I will definitely talk it up more and promote it in case my custies do want to spoil me, and I may make it a week long type of event, just doing little things during the week, but going all out on the actual day! Discounts and prizes are not out of the question, but only as far as I am comfortable with, nothing close to giveaways. I will not be trying to compete with other models and the deals they give!

    Don't let the custies take away your day. Whether it's a cammiversary, birthday, holiday....enjoy it. On cam or off!
