As the title says, do any of you remember your first day camming? I remember it vaguely and it didn't go well because I was literally giving everything away in free chat lol. I also fell for the 'let me see a little bit before we go pvt' line.

I was on LJ and didn't know how private looked and was just sitting there at 5 99 per minute starring at the screen not understanding a thing and watching the money add up until i realized when i was actually in free and when i was in paid chat, and i hardly removed my bra because i was so shy anyway. Did not know anything, how much to charge, no forums, no chats with others about this job. Started out alone and very naive. I still miss those days. It was good to not know what is expected of me, and only did what i was comfortable doing, (very minimal tease) while still making great money. Now i know too much, and do too much. I miss those days, when i was actually excited to get on cam without pressure of making x amount etc.




Yep. I'd lurked SW for a while so I knew about what to expect, and I had a camgirl friend with me (literally in the room--and no, she wasn't on my account, can't believe we didn't get in trouble lol) so it wasn't too scary. I was never in free chat for more than a couple minutes, I'd see posts on here about sitting in free for half an hour and I couldn't imagine it. Ohhh how the mighty have fallen lmao.
I was still a bit confused though. I remember a guy in free asking me to stand and I looked at my friend and asked what I should do and she was all "Uhhh stand up?" Now she's gotten back into camming and I've drilled the TIP BITCH mentality into her.
I also remember her trying to get me to log off (she was trying to sleep in the background lmao) and I was all "Just one more hour!"
Oh yes I do!
Back in 2007 august 29 at 2 pm started my first pvt on camcontacts. Guys asked to see my feet, i was confused. He stared at my feet for over 2 hours and left.
And i was like WTF? By that time i turned 18 y o, i never knew that guys may like feet.
Yeahhh it was on streamate, and I didnt knew how the payed chat vs non payed chat worked. I saw a new screen popping up, but I didnt trust the guy on his word when he told me we were in payed chat and I didnt dared to get naked because I was scared of getting banned by the site for flashing in free chat. He left quite quickly offcourse, and I checked my earning to see that he really did was in payed chat
woops, I was really scared he would have left me a bad rating or comment, but he didnt fortunately
On that first day it felt so strange to see the numbers of paying members, and knowing they all had seen you naked and all! It was shocking, but also awesome




First time I ever cammed was on Livejasmin. My account was activated for a few weeks but couldn't get the balls to go on. I couldn't imagine any guy wanting to see a BBW girl.. But I watched more and more cams that day, watched girls in my niche and it made me feel confident. I had a couple glasses of wine and I decided to take the plunge. I knew nothing about freeloaders, fake tips, lighting, good cameras etc. My stream was horrendous! LJ wouldn't approve any pics I uploaded because of shit quality so I was worried it would hinder my earnings. NOPE! I actually made quite decent money the first time I streamed. I was bubbly and happy from the wine, I was chatty and happy, talking to freeloaders and just being overall nervous but happy. It was a really nervous moment for me but it made me completely change the way I feel about my body. Men pay to see this chubby chick??! Who woulda known!
Fast forward to now, I would never stream on LJ again lol! SM is my main site and I kinda wish I started on it first. I love camming!

Yep. I was so nervous that I felt like I was going to have a heart attack if I clicked that button to start. I sat there for 4 or 5 minutes, just staring at my cam preview.
I'd already read tons of content on this forum, but I felt like I had no idea what I was doing.
All in all, it was a pretty uneventful night. I made significantly more money than I was making with my vanilla work, and I think I already knew I was in it for the long haul. But I remember being terrified about getting my first private.
It was also one of only a handful of times I've had a troll come in and start insulting my body - I had to get the other users to sort of half-guide me through the banning process, heh. But I remember feeling great about the fact that everyone else wanted that ass gone as much as I did.



oh god i was on mongocams thinking,
"what the fuck is wrong with these guys? why do they keep calling me bb?"
Follow me on twitter:
Oh yeah, I was on Streamate and I was soooo excited and nice to everyone haha :p I'd been reading SW for at least 5 months though and researching camming in general for over a year so I pretty much knew what I was doing. It was just a bit weird and awkward for the first few privates. I was just really worried about not making enough money to support myself as I started when I was unemployed, I had nothing to fall back on and was already living on my own. Thankfully I made good money and was able to cover all my expenses and have enough left to treat myself while still saving some too![]()



How can I forget, it was just last year,lol. My first night I was a fucking professional. All I use to do was research, watching other cam models and reading those how to's that studios always post ( no Im not with a studio) and reading and watching camgirl vlog/blogs, so I really felt I hit the ground running. Before I started I had ordered a new laptop, upped my internet package (got my own wifi, stopped using the free stuff), I ordered all my toys, I watermarked my feed, I was split camming on two sites, and I had my coconut oil in a lil applicator bottle. The only thing I didn't do was drink or smoke on cam, I use to always see girls drinking and smoking weed in their rooms so I honestly figured that the job was just so mind fucking that's just the way you dealt/coped with it, idk. Either ways never a drop or a puff till this day, and I was dating an alcoholic, 21 and under be dammed I had bottles stuffed in with my eyelashes, in the freezer, with my panties...
So my actually nite: I took picture and posted them before I went online and I also worked for 8hrs. I was in my room for maybe about 3min when I got a lil over whelmed, from stearing at myself I guess ,and I went to the break screen which didn't help a bit because a min in someone takes me private. And honestly it wasn't bad or anything, It was cam to cam, from neck to dick very standard,lol. I have a 30 sec intro, which I forgot the order I wanted to say things in and certain things I wanted to say so it probably was only 10secs at this point. I quickly discovered which angle made my tits look saggy, so that only happened once for 2 sec, never again. It felt very odd that first session bent over with my tits to the cam but every thing after that was a piece of pie. I went back to free chat and every guy ( or at least most) was talking to me, I was in and out of privates the whole night and laughing and chatting in free chat. The only thing I did wrong was I didn't want to have to plug in speakers so I was using the build in speakers to play music but it was a conversation starter because I kept asking in private if I should turn it off and in free chat if it was too loud.
and I did get a lot of pretty pussy compliments, which is always an ego boost.
I did have one rude motherfucker call me fat and leave right after, I figured his grandma walked in to the basement so he had to dash off. But I didn't let it bother me I just continued to make money. Best revenge after all is making money while your haters can do nothing but watch.
Oh yeah.......I remember.
I logged onto Streamate then immediately freaked the fuck out because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing or how on earth to talk to custies and logged back off again a mere 10 minutes later. LOL!
I was on IMLive and was clueless as to what to do. I wouldn't talk in free, I'd just type ( I was shy to talk in front of everyone) and I was thrown by how insulting the members were Lol....most were nice but I wasn't used to people calling me names. And as much as I hate to admit it, I fell for the show something for a fake tip :/
So naive back then and wasn't familiar with this forum. I was a wee babe in the woods. I smartened up pretty damn quick though.





Left best buy with a netbook to start my adventureThat netbook lasted a week btw.
Privatecamz
Nov5 2008 around 9pm I logged on
a customer had to tell me I was in private.![]()
I called the owner at 2 am lol , i think he wanted to cuss me out but instead fixed my lighting on my cam , the old logitech 9000. My walls looked very yellow
I had never seen a camgirl except my friend that I knew in person and she said to just turn on my cam and that is exactly what I did. She said treat it like the club, you will love it. I did and I do.




Yep, it was about 10 years ago. I logged in for the first time and got a private within the first 30 seconds. I made something like 24 dollars just for taking off my top and talking to the guy. LOL I was so excited and thought it was the easiest job ever. Later, I found out I got lucky that day. I haven't cammed in a long time though.
I fell for every trick in the freeloader book, got the deer in headlights look as soon as I got a private and turned off the whole computer because I was so scared. LOL
My first time was on CB with my husband. I don't think I ever would have had the balls to start out on my own. We used the built-in cam and did it on our ugly couch. The next day he came home with an HD webcam and I transformed our guest bedroom into a camroom. Since then, I've broken away from couple shows for the most part and just work solo, but I'm so glad he introduced me to it because I have so much more confidence and independence.
LOL yes. It was on MFC. I was so excited to make tons of money. I was topless for free and teasing wayyyyy too much. One guy sent 10 whole tokens to see my ass, and when I just showed it in panties he pm'd me saying NOT COOL because I had ripped him off apparently. I was so mad/frustrated I logged off and left the house shaking and angry. I was like well camming isn't for me, oh god how am I going to pay off my student loans![]()
2010 on Streamate I remember two things from my first day:
(1) Where is the rest of my money??? (didn't read the contract/info that stated 35%)
(2) If I show my pussy in the first few seconds the guys will stay (LOL after 50 peeks I realized what was up)
I got sooooooooo many marriage proposals my first shift. Lol. I was being way too sweet and accommodating. I realized REALLY quick how draining these fuckers can be if you let them. Now I make them pay for every single little thing. Smiles included. Lol. Payback for trying to take advantage of my kindness in my earlier days.![]()
MFC. I took off all my clothes when the first basic asked me to. I read the rules tho and I was like "No I can't spread pussy or fuck myself in free I'll get in trouble!" So I guess at least I had that.





(I didn't know about this forum), so I worked at a 'physical' studio for Naked,(found on craigslist), that was an hour drive away from my home, in a strip mall, in the ghetto. (Driving an hour, anywhere, in L.A. traffic, is not pleasant, ...anytime.
I have always performed for crowds, so I wasn't nervous. I was just unsure if I would get paid, and if the studio was legal and legit, and would pay me. I also wondered if anyone would pay to see my old, over 30 ass perform on cam!
I wasn't given much training, except for, "Smile, Engage, and Tease and flirt with the guys watching You, etc."
There I was, in an isolated tiny room, with only a bed, jumping on it like I was some crazed gymnast. Twisting, Turning, smiling, talking to everyone.... I was so excited by my first private, that I thought that technique was working, so I continued to wear myself out. The privates were few and far between.
Two weeks later I had only made $300 dollars!
It wasn't until another model, who watched me from her room, came to me, and told me that I was working way too hard.
I have written about this on a past thread.
She taught me what computer to get to be able to cam at home, and how I could make money applying different techniques.
She helped me with the computer settings, etc.
She will always be my special angel!



I was on webcams.com the first few days, but made like nothing and there was barely any traffic. Then I got onto MFC and on my first day made like $27 in a few hours which was a LOT for me at that time. I was so excited haha. I built some regulars from there and it was pretty good. I didn't even have sound back then but I made decent money somehow.
