    Default Thinking about getting started...questions

    Hey all. I'm a divorced 41 and not too far from 42 year old mother of two. My whole adult life I've had a hidden desire to do some sort of "classy" sex work and had fantasies about being a stripper who made guys hearts flutter or even an escort pulling hundreds of dollars a night when I was younger but never had the courage to actually try any of this. Despite now being a church-going suburban mother of two teenagers, I still am curious about indulging these desires, and camming looks like a possible way. I don't plan on using this as a primary source of income since I already have a full time job, but figure it might be fun and get me some extra bucks. So the questions:

    -Most obvious: age. I've read you'll find far more mature women on cam sites than you will in strip clubs and they're often sought out so competing with college girls isn't so much of a problem. Even though I still often get complimented on my looks I'll admit I'm no uber-MILF, my age is obvious and though I'm happy with my 33D pair, shoulder-length brown hair and aged pretty well ass my figure hasn't remained perfect and I do have some meat on the bones. Not exactly BBW type, but a sag in the stomach is obvious. I've read this is not a big deal, women of all ages and shapes do camming. How true is this and what would be the best site for someone of my type?
    -What's a good price to set for someone such as me? Since I don't plan on competing with porn stars and college girls I'll have to go a bit cheaper, but still want to be making enough money to be worth it.
    -Start-up costs: I know I need a good webcam, any recommendations? What price range should I shoot for and how long would it take to earn that back? One commitment I'm making is even if it turns out this isn't for me I won't stop till I make back my startup costs. Also I have a very good vibrator already in use, any new toys I'll have to buy or is that alone enough?
    -Similarly what should I wear between shows? I plan on starting in just my normal bra and panties, is this OK and can it affect your earnings? Is buying new outfits all that needed?
    -There's nothing I can do by myself that's allowed that I want to take "off the table" per se, but I know that it might get more uncomfortable if asked to do it. I know that basically all the sites don't allow peeing (something I'd actually probably be fine with as long as it was in a container and I didn't have to drink it or pour on myself), but guys love squirting, something my kitty does quite a bit of, is this the main request or lots of anal insertions? This is something I might be willing to do but am less comfortable doing often. Also I know at my age I'll probably get a lot of mother/son roleplay requests, not sure how I'd react to that. Is that expected of most mature models or is it something I can at least put off limits for starting? And of course submissive/dominant roleplay, how common is this and what do more customers want? As a submissive is it OK to take degradation and for play insults? Conversely I've heard some customers want themselves insulted, degraded and commonly ask for mocking of their small penis, I'm quite frankly too nice of a person to think I can do this effectively. How easy is it to develop these skills?
    -And perhaps most importantly: I'm mortified of the idea of my son or daughter finding out! Luckily I have a job where I work 4 10-hour shifts a week, giving me Fridays off while they're at school and free reign. How long is a typical "shift" and how long can you last normally? And are short mini-stints doable? I love to rub one out before going to bed (who doesn't?), is it feasible that I quickly log on, find a guy willing to watch me do this, and then log off? Are there any other considerations in them finding out, such as in receiving mail from the company for payment or otherwise? As you can tell this no doubt limits my availability time but this is going to have to remains mom's little secret.

    As you can probably tell, I don't plan on doing this all that long term, I see it as more of a fun experiment that could earn me some extra bucks which I intend to use to treat myself primarily, probably the first thing I'll get with my first payment is get a massage! I probably won't be doing it in a year, or maybe even six months, but I'd rather try than keep wondering. Thanks for all your help and answers!

    So not to sound too rude, but have you read ANYTHING in cammingconnection yet? As we all say to the newbies who post here: Welcome to SW and get to reading! you can start here: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...-For-Cam-Girls

    There are so many little questions you asked that we won't be able to answer for you, that you will only be able to find out yourself through experience and watching other girls. However, here are just a few important things you should know right away:


    -IS this "fun experiment" worth having your naked images and videos online FOREVER? You say you will be mortified if your family finds out. EVEN if you only cam for a few months, YOU WILL BE ON THE INTERNET FOREVER. So there is a chance that even long after you quit, someone may come across you. Some guys will record your shows with them and post them on wesbites that are sometimes a huge pain in the ass to have removed. The websites you work for will own your pics and recordings to be used to advertising purposes or whatever. Even if it's not your kids that find out, it may be one of your fellow church-goers or co-workers. DO not underestimate the internet.

    -Camming is unpredicatable. You can log on for an hour one day and make $100 and you can log on the next day for an hour and make $5. Being new and not having any regulars may make it a bit more tough to make a good bit of money in a small amount of time.

    -The wonderful thing about webcamming is that you have complete control. You can log on and work one minute, you can log on and work 1000 minutes. So your "shift" is as long as you want it. There are girls that work for hours and hours on end relentlessly. There are girls that log on for an hour here and there. It's all in what YOU want to do. Again... you have control. You can set your limits to anything you want when you start.

    -We can't tell you what price to start at and we can't tell you how easy it will be for you to develop certain skills for fetishes you aren't comfortable with. We don't know you and don't know how easy it is for you to "pick up" something you've never done before. You will just have to watch ,watch, watch other cam girls, especially the ones around your age.

    -Just start off with a normal webcam, nothing fancy shmancy, and how long it will take to earn it back... well we cant tell you that either because it all relies on how long you work, how much you charge, what you do and don't do, etc etc. This is all relative to you and a lot of factors that we don't know about. Again, one girls numbers are TOTALLY different from the next girls.

    Good luck!

    Hello,

    Welcome as i see this is ur first post Its good that u seem to think of everything, but i can tell u from experience that it wont get u too far ( atleast from my point of view). U think in too manny directions at once and i imagine that this is gonna delay the actual process of starting camming too much. Its good to be informed but eventually only u will be able to answer to some questions that ur still having.
    Manny things u will learn in time and nobody can actually tell u what will be ur niche or how to proceed in doing some stuff to work for u, but dont worry , somewhow every woman has it in her, jsut like nobody can teach u being a mom for ur kid...I think u should invest minimum into everything since u dont plan of making this ur primary job ever. Just go with what u allready have ( and i mean outfits ) adapt and invent by what u ll be asked by ur customers, thats not that hard to be made, im sure every woman has her own wardrobe full of suitable things for camming. Tank tops,stokings, bra and panties, tight pants....and so on. I think every girl is dressing differently but i can do money even in a sack with my regulars So, my advice is to just go out there and try it for urself, yes, u will still have questions but noone can tell u what ur experience will be and what kind of people u will have so take it easy and dont put that much pressure into finding an answer to every question that u might be having at this moment.
    ON the other side, this site is FULL of infos, im sure that the rest of the girls will recommend u the right posts for u to read, and u can allways do a search on whatever might interest u in finding out. U only need the time to read the tones of material and different experiences that we all shared around here regarding diff topics
    Get a decent cam, some logitec pro 9000( if that is still being manufactured) or a C920 if u have the money for it.... a decent pc (i cant help u with those infos since im not a comp geek, sadly lol ), lights should also be good, and the rest u ll adapt urself too when the time will come , if it will come and ull consider its worthy. Toy u said u allready have so dont see the point in taking another, i dont even use one and i hardly ever get asked about it....but thats just me
    Dont forget ur in charge and that U are the one establishing the do's and dont's, so make sure u r starting with the right leg and allways be honest in ur profile and also when u speak to ur customers, atleast that what i do. I wouldnt go anywhere near the fetish part, ur a beginner and that whole area is too deep to just count on making regulars on fetish, some roleplay im sure anyone can do but the dom/sub is not that easy and u allread said u r too much of a nice person anyway for acting the Dom role. About roleplay , i personally dont go for mom son or anything similar cause its not allowed, and yes, they will try to trick u into it , especially cause of age but also because ur new!
    About ur security and the fact that u dont want ur kids to know, i guess u can never be sure when u start this kind of job whom and when someone can find u out there to be honest.No mesures can keep u secure 100% so its a risk that everybody should atleast question before starting this...once ur on there, u ll allways gonna be there...even if u delete ur accounts they will still hold rights on whatever its been published on theyr site, pictures, movies and so on.U agree to it when u sign the contract with each and every site ull be joining.
    This being said, i hope i answered atleast some of ur questions and i wish u goodluck, hope ull make the most out of it!

    It's only a matter of time before someone you know sees you if you are webcamming. Unless you disguise yourself heavily with a wig / makeup (maybe even then you'll be spotted) its a terrible idea to do this work, especially if you do not even need the money.

    What will you tell your friends and family when they see you? (and it can happen even after you quit. ANYTHING you transmit to the internet can and will be recorded and reposted.

    I'd second the thread linked to above, everything you need is there.

    Your age isn't really a factor as any size, colour, age, and persuasion can fortunately make money in this game. That's point one. There is no 'typical' shift or typical anything, that's point two. And point three is you'll only find things out for sure by actually doing it! Get on cam and see how you get on. Change things as you go along. Once you've been camming for a little while you'll have more of an idea about the things you need to learn about or improve.

    Good luck x

    I will answer from the perspective of someone who's just starting out in serious mode. I started camming in Summer 2013 but I had no idea what I was getting into --I put no thought on makeup, outfits, lights, etc.... It was good to know I was having fun with it, but I realized I needed to take things much more seriously and after a long hiatus, I'm finally getting into gear in a new site where I've never been online drunk or given freebies LOL.

    First investment should be your equipment rather than outfits. Upgrade your camera, internet, and PC if you need to. Lights and good makeup is also very important. I recorded myself several times trying to figure out what looked best on cam --it wasn't what I expected and I still haven't figured it all out, but DEF investing huge bucks in wardrobe is not crucial. You can work what you've got, pencil skirts, summer dresses, swimsuits, etc., first figure out the basic look of your face and body and then go and splurge on underwear.

    I also think too much about stuff so I def recommend you dive in as soon as you feel ready(ish). Otherwise you'll keep thinking about it and will want to wait until you figure it all out (your rates, your schedule, your persona, etc), which will overwhelm you. Flow and try. try and flow. that's my mantra lately.
