    Default Social risks/advertisement/Facebook and whatnot?

    I have danced for six years, and cammed for a short period. Most of my family and friends know about this, and are accepting. I was thinking about going back into camming, and I was wondering how you guys managed your Facebook and Twitter fans vs. friends and advertising. I was homeschooled and often my social compass is skewed; I don't know how people are going to act about certain things. Thus far, none of my acquaintances from my local hang-out have bugged me about stripping. Camming, however, is a slightly different monster, because of the anonymity of clients. (I assume, anyway.) I don't know how it will affect me if I am trying to play a board game with 3 people that have seen me naked, shoving things in my v-jay-jay. I really feel like I should stand up to anyone who has anything to say about me being a dancer, model, camgirl, whatever... but I do have my anxiety and agoraphobia to consider. I know about the implications in getting a professional license having done adult work, but what about the social implications?

    Also, I know nothing about Facebook and Twitter. I just made one for work, and thought I would add a couple close friends, not knowing about the ripple effect of acquaintances adding me. A friend of mine has two accounts, one for her (vanilla) modeling and one for her daily life. I don't think I can manage two accounts. (Hers are friends, anyway?) I am not sure what I should and shouldn't post in reference to advertising/getting myself out there. I really don't care about the social aspect of either one, it is mainly for advertisement/management of fans. My Facebook is already "polluted" by people I know. Do I need to just start over with a new account? Or only advertise about camming on Twitter, for instance? Not post about camming on my Facebook, but allow people to add me from camming? I don't know how the blasted websites work, so I can't figure it out.

    Is there a large difference in how people view dancing versus camming?

    Also, I am a fairly technically accomplished artist, and plan to start networking and getting myself out there. Should I post any of my art to the page? Or act like I am two separate people? This really won't work completely anyway, since most of the people I know know I dance.

    Thanks for the help, I searched, but couldn't find an answer. I really have no idea about this mess, and hope you guys could help me sort it out.

    Most people don't mix their cam and real life personas at all... Sure, someone you know could see you on cam, but if they don't know your cam name/where you cam/that you cam at all then it's not all that likely, and if it happens they'll probably keep it to themselves. It's not just about people you know seeing you--you don't want people on cam (random horny men) knowing your real info. There will be thousands upon thousands of horny, often socially awkward and bitter men watching you and possibly obsessing over you. It's a matter of personal safety.

    If you mean you made a Facebook with your cam name and now it's full of people you know, then personally I would delete everything (the FB and any cam accounts associated with that name) and start over with a new cam identity that you only share with close friends (if that--and don't add them! FB isn't particularly popular for cam promotion anyway.) IMO people knowing you dance is completely different from people knowing you cam (do you want your family to be sent videos of you fucking yourself? cause that's how your family gets sent videos of you fucking yourself) and even that is WORLDS away from your cam customers knowing your IRL identity! I just really really would not recommend mixing the two at all.

    Personally, I've never had any social problems with it since the circle of people who know about my camming is very small, and most of them don't even know my cam name.

    Yep don't do it. Most of us don't even use our real names or locations for our cam personas. I highly recommend going that route for safety and peace of mind.

    Oh, my current Facebook has a fake name. Sorry if that wasn't clear?

    How DO you guys generally manage fans, then?

    I use Twitter ONLY for camming.
    I use Facebook ONLY for my personal vanilla life

    I don't have a personal Twitter or a camming Facebook. Rather keep the social media seperate in case they intertwine by accident. Seems less risky for me this way.

    I used fb a few years ago with my cam persona and I was constantly getting pics (in mini skirts, bikinis etc) reported or reported for posting links to adult sites. Waste of my god damn time.

    Twitter is what everyone uses. Don't have it have anything to do with who you are in real life because you WILL have your ex lovers, bosses, high school friends, family members, every single person who you dont want to see will way more likely come across sexy pics of you if not videos... If you have your real life identity linked or friends in real life added to your list. Just keep them separate it's part of the job, you'll get used to it.

    You should use Twitter for camming-related stuff, and Facebook for in-real-life friends/family. Please, for the love of God, do not mix the two. Any photos that you have posted on your FB account...don't post those same photos on your Twitter account, and vice-versa. Do not make the mistake of giving your favorite cam customers access to your FB info...no matter how "nice" you say they are. If they wish to follow you, they can make a Twitter account and follow you there, as well as follow you (or add you to their favorites or whatever) on the specific cam site(s) you're on. Making a Twitter account is 100% free for models and customers. Trusting cam customers with your personal FB account is just a bad idea, and let's not forget that it also allows them to see the full names of your family members and friends you have added on your friends list. Cam girls need to be cautious about the information they volunteer to people on the 'net.

    One incident that made me cringe was the time I was talking to a regular (who knows too much about me, and I cannot UNDO that knowledge), and he was able to tell me what the temperature was that day in my town. *facepalm* He actually said "It's supposed to be __ degrees today where you live."

    Having a fake name doesn't mean anything if it's basically a directory of people who know your real name. The vast majority of girls use Twitter (and usually go to great lengths to not link it to their real name or contacts in any way.)

    I've managed to keep a PRIVATE Facebook and a WORK twitter since I've been camming over the last 3 years. You can't have both of each as they suggest your naughty account to all your normal friends :-o !!! I don't go near google+ either as I find it to be the worst of all, outing you left right and centre!

    DO NOT under any circumstances use your real information, any of it! Don't even use your real age. You never know who is out to stalk or otherwise fuck you over. You also need to remember that if you're in this for the long term, what you're open about now you may choose to be more private about later on - you can't just wipe the slate clean as what goes on google STAYS on google!

    Facebook shares like a bastard...I have a personal account and one for another business, there is no way that facebook should have been able to make a connection between me and my other business but it did and recommended my business account to a member of my family.

    Also, if someone does a friend search it brings up all your personal info, even if you have it blocked to friends. I have my personal facebook locked down and I don't have a photo of myself.

    I have a personal twitter and a cam twitter but I don't have any friends or family on my personal twitter.
