    Default Does an older gal have the ability to make camming a sustainable income?

    I've been camming very part time for about 3 years. I'm 30+ and although I feel I'm attractive, due to some insults (which I know we all get, mine are always about being a bbw and age related. I get teased about looking older than my actual age. I mean like 10-20 years older) and life in general kicking my ass, I feel extremely hopeless. I have just lost my only sustainable income and as of now camming is all I can come up with for any other kind of employment as I live in a very rural area, I have no car, no family left, and certainly no other job prospects and coming very soon no money. If anyone has any similar circumstance I would be grateful for advice on how to handle tackling camming full time while having a lot 'going on'. I do know camming is difficult for a lot of people right now but I'm not ready to just to give up. I do certainly appreciate all input. Thank you!

    ETA: I don't know why I put emphasis on insults I get, I do apologize for that.

    I don't have much advice with your situation. I'm younger and super skinny. But you are BEAUTIFUL!! I get crap from the SM crowd for having no body, no ass, no tits (I'm 32A), but somehow I still make money and do alright. The guys telling you these things are literally jacking off to the idea that they are getting to you, making you upset. Don't get down because of some loser's opinion of you. I think you are gorgeous!!!

    Good question. I'll be 35 in June but I have been in the industry for over ten years. I do know MILFs are super popular so play that up and see what happens. Assholes pick on all of us over our looks because they are idiots. I wouldn't pay them any attention since they clearly are bullies and get off on hurting others.

    Insults will affect you as long as you are not happy with your own look.Try to accept that you are bbw ,the b in the middle is for beautiful.Don`t let them tell you different.We can not be everyone`s cup of tea but we can find many admirers.Use what you have,there are so many guys into big women.If you feel sexy and confident they will perceive you in the same way.I had less weight,that did not bring me more money,my fat ass does better.As for looking older than your actual age if make up can not solve it then use that in your benefit ,set your profile for the age you look and you will not get insults but guys who are into older women.Most important is to find the sites that will work for you,not every site is good for bbw`s.YOU CAN DO IT!

    You are not alone, and never will be. Trust me you can be the most perfect looking happiest cam performer going and yet some are going to mess with you.
    What I have seen a lot of lately on a popular site I work is young girls getting shit for looking super young. They are verified performers and making good enough money it seems but some asshole has to come into her room and say you are too young to be doing this, you lied about your age, what do you know about good anal sex in private, blah blah blah.

    I am 50+, and never felt better! Love my age and the way I look. No plastic surgery of any sort (botox, nope) and I get MILF, Cougar, and lol... and a few haters who ask me if I have grandchildren, I don't even have a kid! But hey, at my age I should for their standards. I don't respond but keep working and having fun!
    These guys only want to rattle your cage, react to them and the ball never seems to stop rolling.

    Beauty is inside and outside with every age. There is no 'exact' time to hang up our hats to camming. Hell we even have guys who will pay good money for granny fantasies and titties!

    Fuck the haters, or better yet don't, ban em!
    Good luck.

    Sorry could not edit.
    Sign up for as many popular sites as you can and work the ones that are busy or best for you, or split cam them. You can do it. We all have been there and learn the ropes, I have been camming since early to mid 90's. I love the job. It's too easy to log off and shut them all up!

    45 years old here, but rather be plastic than look older I say, as I hold ice packs to my face from getting injections today. LOL

    Guys diss on ALL the models no matter what, if you let your insecurities get the best of you then they win.

    If you don't like being a bbw then diet & work out until you reach your goal.

    Approach this industry like a full time job. Cam on several different sites. Read up on here on different hustles each site takes.

    Wake up, cam.... it gets slow switch sites. If that gets slow log off & make fetish clips. Go read up on Hustle hut for all the different sites to sell clips on.
    Make 2 or 3 clips then go back to camming. Put in your 8 to 10 hours then relax & edit, upload clips to have many different checks coming in all month long.

    Honestly, if you are a hard worker with some imagination you can make a great living. But it is all up to you. None of us can give you ambition or a work ethic.

    I am a bbw, I make money.

    Most of the time, most girls have bad lighting. There are many threads here & tutorials on youtube to do that cheaply. Lighting is KEY! to looking better & younger. So is a good web cam. I can easily look 15 years old with using just regular lighting & the cam on my computer. Turn on my daylight bulb with an umbrellas on each side of me, use my 920 logitech & BOOM I look hot & young again.

    If you don't believe in yourself no one will.

    Those guys who hate have easily at anytime 1000 to 3000 other cam models to look at. Obviously they are in your room for a reason. Quite frankly, you are failing the cam company by NOT converting them into a sale. I have taken those same haters, called them out on there bs into some of my BEST paying customers. Like they went & signed up & got tokens because of me. THAT IS YOUR JOB.. to convert each guy into a sale. Don't be lazy & think it is the cam site to provide you paying customers. No, it is your job to get them to pay to see you do your thing.

    There are plenty of horny men who prefer female close to their own age instead of their daughters. There are plenty of young studs who love a chubby cougar.

    Plenty of older, chubby gals make money on cam & clip sites. It isn't whether or not you can, but your ability to put in the work, imagination & have fun doing it.

    Yes of course. theres a market for milf and gilf, also a lot of older men will be looking for women their age who they think might date them, so you could easily play the "i might date u if u keep tipping me" tactic and then never actually meet them.
    I am also in my 30's but I play a teen 18-21 depending on which site. i get a lot of insults too but on the other end of the scale. for example people who come in and call my customers paedos and ask me when my parents will be home. so no matter your age you always gonna have trolls.

    This is the truth. People can call you every name in the book looks-wise or personality-wise or whatever else, but it will only affect you if you aren't happy with whatever they are commenting about. Otherwise, you won't care about it and it won't affect you at all. So IMO, make changes that make you happy.

    Once had a guy take me prvt at $6.99 per minute to call me name & tell me how I didn't know how to cam... I kept shaking my fat ass & laughing at him for the 20 minute rant. LMAO
    I laughed all the way to the bank on his rant.

    Pity party won't make you money. NONE of the customers really give a shit & nor why should they.

    I am 38 and recently started camming. I do love it. I do make money. And yes oh yes I do get insulted too. I have no tits, no ass, blah blah blah. But for each asshat that takes the time to insult me, I have a handful in the room that also defend or compliment me, so it evens out. Listen to the positive, ignore the fuck out of the negative, smile and flip them off even, that is what I sometimes do and others in the room think it's awesome. Own your shit, whether it's bbw or skinny as fuck white girl like me with no tits or ass. Beauty is in all of us, let yours SHINE. <3 ( I also have laundry list of life hassles and health hassles but that's for another day. Rock what you can today, worry about the rest LATER.)

    There will always be haters, trolls & beggars when you are on cam or social media. That will never change how you handle it does. Block them, kick them out or make fun of them.

    Never let them get in the way of you making money. Let your haters be your motivators.

    My haters are the most devoted fuckers of all time, they read everything I ever post on social media & disect it for a hidden meaning or take it to heart. They watch every video & hang on every word that I do.. They spend so much time & energy on someone they have never met & claim to hate. LMAO Truly cracks me the fuck up. They help keep me relevant & selling. haha

    Laugh it off, don't take it so personally. Honestly, does how much you weigh or how old you are effect them in life. NO!!!! These guys have no life, are so miserable they go onto the web to bring others down to their misery. How sad.

    Go read "the secret" or watch the movie version of it.

    40+ camgirl and bbw. Ignore the insults everyone gets insulted ban and move on.

    As to working full time make a schedule stick to it, and market to take advantage of the extra percentage most sites give for bringing in customers.

    Make clips, and pic sets to sell, try phone sex. Put more eggs in your basket and make those dollars.

    Someone will always find something they don't like about you. It'll be the same thing others love about you.

    In a couple of months I shall be 53. I get hundreds in my room and yes, there's always one who calls me an old granny. Move on, guy, go find someone you do like.

    I'm 41 honey....and YES you can do it. I'm not super skinny...I'm probably considered a BBW as well. Some days I make 100.00 a hour, other days I don't. Worse day this week was 32.00 a hour. PLEASE don't let men like that make you feel this way. I have got insults as well. Last one was "Don't you think your to old among other things to charge 6.99 a minute?" I laughed and changed my rates that day to 7.99 a minute. You know what...the men still paid. I laughed in that mans face because my age and weight is listed on my profile. He still came in, stayed awhile and took time to say that. You are going to get assholes, just try not to let them get to you....and please don't let them see you upset. Right now I'm not to happy with the weight I gained in the last year, so I'm doing something about it. Focus on making yourself happy. You will find you make more money in the end all those men that are fucktards...well you will just laugh at how pathetic they are.

    I have not seen many older ladies (40+) live camming, but I have seen a lot of sexy older ladies with top clip stores on C4S and NF. 90% of the time they are Mistresses/fetish based, so you could consider that if you are interested.

    I'm 50 and have been camming for 6 years now. If I wasn't making a decent living I wouldn't keep at it. I get the insults but I also get the adoration and fantasy seekers. I get a lot of much younger guys, 18+ they love the older woman .
    It's been said many times already, but ignore the haters, don't let them get to you. They are just keyboard warriors and when they have finished having a go at cam models they go onto a completely different site/forum and troll. Bored, jobless wankers with nothing better to do.

    YES!! You can make money no matter what type of body you have or your age!!
    Being confident in yourself will make a big difference when you are camming. There are some younger guys that LOVE older women--I have seen some cam models in their 50s and 60s and they were very sexy and sensual...
    Definitely you should get the book The Secret...there is another book that I am trying to get...just might have to wait another month. It is called The Placebo Effect...it is about healing your body...can be applied to any part of your life. I heard the author one night on my favorite late night radio talk show. I cannot wait to get the book, listening to the author definitely changed my perspective.
    You get stupid loser trolls...they will not help you make money. Pay no attention to them, or laugh at them--they are losers.
    Your personality, your charm, your smile, your laughter...etc and so on is what sells!! Be the gal that guys want to spend some time with...just don't let the negative comments affect you. I am still learning to ignore all the negative stuff...helps greatly when I am logged on ready to cam. You're beautiful...so go get your custies and regulars!!

    50 here, love camming and have only been doing this for a year. I hope to never go back to vanilla full time. Yes, I get a few in my room that try to insult me but the majority are looking in my room because they like older women. That is the lesson I have learned from camming.. there is someone out there for everyone because of what that person is looking for.I have occasional slow days and periods and it has taken a year to build up a good following. So it is not an overnight success thing but I log on 4-8 hours nearly everyday and try to keep the same time period for consistency. I agree with the others.. have to have lots of irons in the fire though.

    Hi there,

    Listen, I just turned 49! Yes. 49! And I'm doing it as a "Mature" model on LJ. I am very attractive and keep my body nice. I look great. I don't go on the younger ladies area and try to compare myself, impossible, to the bodies and skin of a 20 year old (I'm not and will never be again). There is a market for the Cougar/MILF..whatever you want to call it. If you have a great personality and keep yourself well, yes, there is a living to be made. And, if you are a good looking older woman there is a market because the competition is less. I'm hoping to earn enough for new boobs which definitely need replacement. I do well with the European men. The Amercan boys who come into my room and hang around and ask me for all these things in free chat I just ignore. I know that when I haven't gotten a private in an hour that my Euro men are sleeping and it's time to log off. I have a more glamourous look and a unique approach that's all mine. NO you will never be able to compete with these gorgeous Russian gals in their early 20's whose bodies are perfect....won't happen. Don't even try. Find your niche, be your best you, stay positive and go for it! Beauty can be found at all ages and stages. Good Luck, don't give up!
