    You can't expect people to be nice to you when you're being rude and judgmental, dear. You opened by telling us we're all risking our lives by working for minimum wage.

    You are exactly the same as the civilian girl who calls you a slutty moron for taking her clothes off for random weirdos in a strip club. Except, no, you're not the same, you're worse than she is because you are a sex worker and should know better than to have that nasty bitchy attitude toward your fellow sex workers. You're a hypocrite. I mean, "OMG, those guys could easily follow you home and slit your throat! What are you thinking Jenny? Is your life worth so little? Why would you take that risk for a lousy $500 a night?"

    That's exactly what you did to cam girls. It's not cool. The judging between strippers, cam girls, escorts, porn stars, etc. needs to fucking stop already.

    It maybe a min. wage job for you. Just because you make money as a stripper does NOT mean you will make money as a cam girl.

    I work about 10 hours a week & pull in $1000.

    NO decent cam company has ever been known to sell girls real names & personal information. They are NOT going to risk the millions they make a week for a few thousand dollars. GET REAL! The club you work at is more likely to leak your info than any major cam company.

    You can shop at Target & get all your info hacked, there is NO protection these days unless you go off grid & pay cash for everyrhing.

    On any given night a customer from the club can follow you home. I know, had plenty in my stripping days try to follow me home & run me off the road risking my life. If you are a female you are vulnerable to stalkers & rapist no matter what line of work you go into.

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    Haha Hell of never worries about a stray hand or tongue. Hell of never having a guy puke down your back during a table dance. Hell of never having to deal up close & personal with men who have bad breath. Hell of never having the club manager, door guy or dj wanting a free bj. The hell of never worrying about other girls stealing your stuff or money.

    it is hell of a commute to work everyday. Walking from my livingroom into my bedroom. Hell getting a weekly or monthly check I can depend upon. It is pure hell being able to work whenever I want to, that I can make money 24/7/. Yes, camming is hell.

    If you're comfortable with stripping, you should be comfortable with camming.

    I can see where the fear comes in with camming. You worry that your IP address will be found, identity stolen, found by someone online.
    But you can be found at a club. Your identity can be stolen at a club. You can be stalked at a club. It's all the same. Every job has its dangers. There is no set wage on which you'll make. Certain weeks, I make 1000 off of 20 hours. That averages to 50.00 an hour.
    Other weeks, I make 500 off of 20 hours. Still averages WAY over minimum wage.
    Camming isn't for everyone, just as stripping isn't for everyone.

    I used to be a stripper for about 5 years. It was great money but the unwanted touching, fingering, body odor, and not to mention the guys that would bust a nut in their pants while giving them a lap dance was not worth it to me. I'd rather take their money while not having to commute and not have none of them even breathe on me lol. If I want more money I just log in longer

    A friend of mine told me a story about a waitress. She had a stalker who found out where she lived. He got on a plane and flew several miles to her town, waited in the bushes for her to get home, and then raped her.

    This shit doesn't just happen to cam girls or women in the adult industry. It happens to women everywhere in different lines of work.

    Also, it's not good to go through life avoiding positive/beneficial things just because you're thinking about worst case scenarios. There are lots of things that could go wrong in ALL aspects of our lives. But to try to prevent them you can take the necessary precautions, and obviously use your best judgment when it comes to certain things...like blurting out street addresses of places you work/frequent, blurting out the name of your kid's school, etc.

    This question has been asked so many times I even think it's a sticky. Anyway, it depends on you, the individual. Camming can definitely bring in $500+ a week but that doesn't make it worth it to everyone. You have to weigh the pros and cons just like with any adult job. There are a lot of things to think about before entering this industry.

    Yes. Exactly. Stop. The real bitch is you. Please start with yourself and stop posting here. I need to get no more of your negativity and aggression. You don't see me responding like this to people who were nice and gave normal answers.

    ^and also, dear, if it was another way around and a camgirls asked me if "risking being followed out of the club worth a lousy $500 a night?", I would tell her that yes it is because a customer following you is very rare. I wouldn't call her a hypocrite. I said I'm new to the cam and created a thread to ask a question. Were you too lazy to read through the whole OP. well if you weren't, you'd see that I specified that I'm not trying to offend anyone or say that what you do isn't worth it.
    I added you to the ignore list, so post away, your negativity won't affect me.

    camming is defiantly worth it to me! Every job has its pro's and cons. I'd much rather deal with the cons of this job which are honestly not that bad. The biggest con (to me) would be your content possibly getting leaked out on a free tube site, but if you go through the proper steps of branding yourself/watermarking your content then even that won't be much of a problem! The good outweighs the bad for sure. I don't know why girls think it's supposed to be EASY and breezy. Of course you have to upload I.D.s how else will they cover their ass and make sure you are legal? & if you work for a LEGIT company like streamate/mfc/c4s you will never have to worry abt them selling your personal info! Only shady people do shit like that not a million dollar company! lol. & of course YOU HAVE TO WORK/PUT IN HOURS TO MAKE GOOD MONEY! Why do people think they deserve good pay with little work? It took me a while to realize the regular vanilla 9 to 5 life is WAY more stressful than camming. I can make my rent in 1 week just off cam alone, not even to mention my multiple clips stores, and membership site + indy custom video/panties & etc sales! If you are having a slow week on cam thats where having OTHER sources of revenue comes into handy. This job is not for everyone. If you are not a hustler then it's probably won't be worth it TO YOU! & you probably won't make much! I honestly just started camming on a regular (by regular I mean multiple days a week for a few hours minimum, I still don't cam fulltime but I am gonna start!) I was mainly just a content/solo girl until recently so its more ways to make $$$ instead of being on cam all day! But camming has changed my life for the better. I learned so much through this industry! for ex: web design, webmasterring, online marketing, affiliates, online sales, video editing and producing, photoshop cs3-cs5, dreamweaver, coding, PHP, the list goes on! its so many skills that I have enhanced all by being a webcam model. But I do not think this job is cut out for everyone. I have vowed to never work a 9-5 vanilla job (unless its of course in my desired field of software programming/web design once i finish school) but i refuse to work some bullshit job that has nothing to do with my passions in life! I would be depressed & hate my life. I feel like a PRINCESS being a camgirl. I get so many gifts and make lots of $$$. Last week a fan sent me a dozen of chocolate covered strawberries, and some jewelry! I just love it! What other job do you get random gifts of appreciation? I started my own biz at 18 and have not looked back since. I make more money than most of my classmates who are mostly not doing much with their lives except for having babies and working bullshit minimum wage jobs so I am very happy I decided to cam! I even know people who are 30+ and I make more than them! Best decision ever! Got my first car and paid it off all in the same year all with camming & now working on getting my own loft in the city... and I'm only 23 so hey life's good! :-D But like I said YOU WILL HAVE TO HUSTLE AND WORK HARD, PUT IN LOTS OF WORK if you want to make good pay and not just extra cash! I was determined to make it work for me so I did and will continue to do so! Good luck to all of you ladies! xo

    This. I don't know what it is but I always find it humorous when strippers want to be cam girls. It's just SO much different of a job. The similarities end with us both getting naked.

    Instead of worrying about stalkers, which I would venture a guess strippers get much more of, I would worry about the right computer, a good internet connection, and how you actually look in extremely bright lights on an HD camera.

    I must admit I don't understand why so many camgirls are helping Sexy_Jenny when she has been so argumentative and hostile towards people on this section to the point of abusive.

    Why do you keep rewarding such bad behavior?

    I just don't get it. All I know is that I am done with it.

    ^^Believe it or not, there are girls out there who after reading the threads listed in my OP have the same questions and doubts as I do. And they believe it or not, will find it helpful to read.

    Please don't forget to report this post. Also, go back to my OP, I edited it and report it as well. Thank you

    reporting threads and posts while simultaneously contributing to useless fighting is just as pointless and childish as the people who started the disagreement in the first place. I just read through the last two pages and I'm baffled by how this turned tense, it totally didn't need to. I think that happens (over and over again) when the same peeps keep dragging things back to conflict when most just want to move on. we shouldn't need to lock this thread and I'm not going to, but anyone who keeps dragging things back will get additional warnings/infractions along with the ones I'll be handing out later today when I get a chance

    thanks to everyone who made really insightful and useful contributions here. like Kortney wrote it is a topic that merits discussion as it comes up frequently, and I appreciate that so many want to engage in a dialogue about it respectfully

    Instead of worrying about stalkers, which I would venture a guess strippers get much more of, I would worry about the right computer, a good internet connection, and how you actually look in extremely bright lights on an HD camera.
    I stripped before I cammed, simply because I didn't know camming existed as a job. I like camming way better. The benefits outweigh the risks for me. I make great money, make my own schedule, there's no heavy lifting, and customer loyalty makes me happy. Also, just because one site is slow during a particular week doesn't mean others are, which is why it's important to have eggs in many baskets. Camming also exposed me to a bigger customer base than a strip club ever did, so it's been very beneficial in my increasing self esteem and body acceptance. I've always been curvy, no matter how small I get and guys in strip clubs in my area tended to prefer thinner girls. On cam, I get complimented on my body all day long. I hope this is respectful enough, it's a thread worth having and many of the points made in favor of camming are ones I have written down to read when I have a bad, slow, or troll-full day
