    Hey ladies,
    For those of you who have done both camming and dancing: Where did you make the most money?

    I'm not a dancer, but the consensus seems to be that you make the most money where you put the most work. A dancer who finds the right club and hustles hard will bank if she puts enough time into it. A camgirl who finds the right niche and hustles hard will bank if she puts enough time into it too. Many girls seem to prefer one job over the other from what I've seen, but making more money is entirely dependent on work and time.

    I've been wondering about this as well. I know it varies from girl to girl...but I wish I knew for sure if I could make as much (or close to it) camming as I do dancing. I'm worried about the next slow season, or having another bad winter at which point I will probably turn to camming as a second income.

    Default Re: dancing versus camming

    I make decent money camming and its consistent, but with dancing i make more, can work less but I do get burned out quicker. Personally, its easier to have more 1000+ nights at a club than on cam(ive never had a 1000 day on cam ). Also, im probably gonna get my head bit off for this, but dancing its up to you file taxes or not. Camming you HAVE to pay them and its alot lol. But as someone else said it varies girl to girl, if youre a dancer who focuses on making 200-500 then you could easily make that with camming and wouldnt even have to leave your house. Good luck you could do both which has been pretty lucrative for me.

    I have been wondering this too, Ive not really got into caming yet but have signed up to a site, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm gonna do with it and how my disguise should look. I dance tho and I agree with exoticbeauty4u, you can have 1000 plus nights dancing, often if your at the right club with the right look but from what I read on here, it seems hard with caming. It will probably be even harder for me cause I am really just wanting to do fetish stuff, maybe stripping, but don't wanna show my face and be naked in the same shot… I did a Skype show already and I was totally grossed out by this guy, I am seeing its totally different from dancing. Probably something you gotta get used to.

    ^Thanks ExoticBeauty for that info. I rarely ever make more than $400-$500 a night dancing, and on average I bring home more like $300. My club takes a deep cut and there's a lot of competition..Maybe I should just switch to camming lol

    I started out dancing, (worked in clubs, and as a travelling dancer) and still do private parties, working for an agency.
    Dancing is way more lucrative, in my experience.
    At the present time, I can go to a gig, make $250, for just showing up, then get tipped anywhere from $100-$500, depending on the crowd. All in an hour and a half's time.(cash)
    With camming, it's a slow crawl to even get close to that number even after 7-8 hours. The only good thing is that I can stay home to cam. Plus, guys on cam don't care if I'm all dolled up, or in pj's with bed head hair.(Actually they prefer it).

    I often envy girls who have never danced, and just cammed, because they have way more patience than I do with it.
    It's just not as fast paced as I would like it to be.Name:  581840_10151589375186790_1185211748_n.jpg

    I even prefer pso(phone sex), because when my phone rings... it's money.
    The sitting and entertaining for free for a long time, for the entire world of freeloaders, make camming very draining.

    Cam sites are all basically commission sales. I think there are one or two sites that pay you like $10 for the first ten hours you stream with them or something (and they have crap traffic and probably won't ever pay you, if stories other girls have posted are true), but otherwise the only money you'll ever make will be by getting a guy into a private session (on Streamate, for ex.) or to tip tokens (MFC, Chaturbate, etc.). There are some sites like AW that have paid chat only and the girl doesn't perform/members can't see her until they purchase a show, but most sites have free chat so the guys get 'previews.' Ah, joys of the internet.

    They are discussing free chat. Free chat is basically in between shows. And the only way a customer will know you are available for private is when you are sitting there, waiting, talking, hustling, and ect. I don't believe you can set it to private mode like some sites like ImLive.

    Out of all the many cam based sites on the www, some offer free chat, some offer no free chat and some offer both free chat and non free chat. AW offers free chat as well but you can opt out of it and sit in paid chat and wait for guys to come in. SM only has free chat (unless you use their external code on your own website) but guys go there and some pay for shows, some just hop from room to room and jerk off without saying a word or beg to see you stand, turn around, show ass, flash tits, etc.

    Dancing and camming are different hustles. I've never danced but I've had a few 1k+ nites (had a $1,400 night 2 weeks ago) as well as $3k nights so it really just depends on your hustle. I believe a dancer who has a slow night or "off" nights should sign up to a few cam sites and see how they work for her individually. Camming, just like dancing is an individual hustle (unless you're doing gg shows, lol). Let's say you only made $300 at the club, you could go home, turn on your cam and make $700 more, you just never know.

    The hustle is slower, but I figure freeloaders to us are like those guys who come in and buy the one drink minimum, don't tip the stage, don't buy a dance or even a dollar dance from you (if your club does those) and just sits there. Now, multiply that by several hundred per DAY and you have camming freeloaders. Now, of course you can possibly get them to spend eventually but most of them will beg, or lurk and then leave your room as soon as you try and hustle them. And then you have your spenders. Guys who stay in for a few min, some stay in longer, some stay for hours, some tip and make it rain, some don't. It really depends on the hustler at the end of the day as well as the club/site she's working on/in.

    You're asking this in Camming Connection, so its obvious you're going to get a bunch of answers about how camming makes more money than dancing because the girls who post in Camming Connection are active cam girls who have obviously left dancing for camming or they wouldn't be active cammers. So the results will be heavily skewed.

    The results of the other 10+ threads on this that I've seen on SW have basically been pretty clear that you'll make more as a dancer unless you're in the top 5% hourly/placement camming income bracket, or unless you live somewhere where dancing is not lucrative at all like California for example.

    I never understood the comparison between camming and dancing. The two just seem so completely different to me, in every aspect. It's just.... WAY different.

    Easily? Not necessarily...... at all.

    Also regarding $1000+ days.... plenty of us here have done it or come extremely close. But the entire aspect of camming is nothing like that with dancing. So again, it's not even something you can accurately compare.

    Rarely do cam girls make the big bucks without showing their face. Does it happen? Yah. But most who do not show face tend to be lower earners, from what I have gathered on here. Also, grossed out by customers... well yah you're going to have to get used to unattractive men if you want to make it.

    I never show my face in free chat and rarely show it pvt unless they beg and even then i only show half of it I do decent (enough to pay bills and save) as i said earlier. Im sure there are some girls who makes a 1,000 a day on cam but you can read this forum and see majority dont. Also question to the girls who make 1000 a day, how longs does it take? If i sat my behind on cam all day im sure I could reach that but I dont have the patience or time for it. Now Ive made 1000 off of 1 customer in less than 2 hours at a club. As you said they are two very different things and hard to compare im going from my personal experience. Now maybe I could have rephrased easily making 200-500 a day bc honestly that didnt happen on a consistent basis to a couple of years later in my camming career.

    Exactly. And the entire concept of how much you make is really dumb because we all have different expenses due to living in completely different locations and living completely different lives. I mean, does it even matter? Everyone keeps talking about gross income, but what would even matter is net income, and each person would have to put a long deductions list to find out how much they're netting.

    That's like going around to small businesses (we are each a small business) and comparing how much they make. It doesn't make sense. There's no way to compare numbers in small business land. Business A might "make" 300k per year, but for all you know, business A is also spending 200k per year just to make that 300k per year. And business B meanwhile, might be making 101k per year and only spending 1k per yea to make that amount, thus netting 100k per year. They are both netting the same, but on paper it appears business A is far out-earning business B.

    This type of thread has never made sense to me.

    Actually, many do, or have the ability to if they put in the hours, but they don't talk about it due to negative criticism from girls who do not make that much and make up all sorts of conspiracy theories about it lol.

    On the days I've made $1k+ it's been from hustling one customer. On days I make that with combined money its usually from a custom video/audio request as well chunks from several sites. On the days I've made thousands it's always been less than an hour from one custie and days that I've come close on my own it's been from a camathon (like 12 hours or so).

    I've done both and without question I earned more money stripping/dancing than camming. Stripping I would regularly earn £650+ a night, and I couldn't do that a night when I cam. HOWEVER, it's way way harder.

    unless you charge 10.00 per min for Skype and require a set amount of time of 45 minutes or MORE
    very few guys will take this VERY FEW but it weeds out the assholes and I dont use my cam name. Weeds out more assholes.
