    Default Profile pics

    When you go to any cam site there are tons of little pics, our profile pics. This pic is the first thing men see, their first impression of you, thus extremely important.

    Here are some tips:
    NO black, black does not make your image pop off the page. In fact, when you shoot porn rarely unless it is exceptional outfit will they let you shoot in black. Bright colors are the best.

    Forget about the usual go to thing that most girls shoot in, go for glamour, go for a little outside the box. Not necessarily things you would wear on cam daily, but set yourself apart. Show off your style and personality.

    Lighting, lighting, lighting. You don't need to spend money on a photographer who will charge you tons of money & still not give you want you want. You can do it yourself.

    Think of it as an editorial in a fashion magazine. How the outfit looks and feels with the room or outdoor setting.

    OUTDOOR pics do better than indoor pics.

    How do you see yourself? Who is your sexy icon? Look to their pics to find inspiration.

    A friendly face rather than a body part, a whole body shot, unless you got perfect boobs or booty.

    High heels always.

    Don't be so far off how you look daily that when they click they wonder if it is the same person.

    If I forgot anything, please add your opinions.

    Smooches,
    Sam

    Sam, per chance, could you just start a thread titled 'Sam's Giant Advice Thread'? Because you post these every few days and it's like my favorite 'blog' to read. In fact--you should start a blog. I'd tip for that.

    Great thread Sam!
    I used to be a Glamour Model, so I've always experimented with different looks in my profile pix.
    When I first started camming, I thought my Glam shots would work. More makeup, expensive looking clothes, jewelry, etc.
    Turns out they don't. For me, anyway.
    Same with showing my huge cleavage.. Nothing. Just comments on good my cleavage looks, yet no buyers.
    I get more guys flooding my room with a butt shot, with a smiling face glancing seductively back at them. In my room, "It's all about the bass", go figure!
    I agree with black. The only black I wear is a netting cutout dress, which gets tons of guys coming in, and wanting to see that outfit.
    It always confused me, because irl my huge tits can stop traffic. Yet on cam, very few guys care. I forget about my tits, until I turn off my cam, and leave my house, and then it's al about the tits, even if 'm in a baggy sweatshirt.
    I get more response if my shots are warm, and inviting. I get more compliments while wearing a sundress and very little makeup. Oh well. Whatever makes the most money. It's all good.

    Sometimes when a girl looks to good, to perfect, to glamorous, she is unapproachable to many men.

    Now, I love playing that angle. It works for me. It has helped me get rid of many trolls on cam and twitter, oh wait, maybe cause I run them off with destroying them verbally. LOL In my niche many bbw's are friendly, approachable and don't do the glamour girl. I love standing out.

    You are right experimenting is important to find that sweet spot. Friendly face, is what most are looking for.

    But ladies, do dare to be a different from others in your niches. To go into another direction, most of this job is trail and error to learn, to grow, to constantly challenge ourselves into making more money.

    ^Agreed Sam. I always go with what I enjoy the most, I wear almost all black. I've never had a problem with it. But I work in fetish, so it's expected. If your black is very shiny like latex and lit well- it's eye-catching. My bright red hair helps, when my blond grows in I might have to try something different. I go against many mainstream camgirl recommendations- I go all out, wearing stockings, quality lingerie and fetish clothing, not cheap stripper costumes or tacky lingerie. Standing out from the crowd is a good thing. It is a lot more work though. But hell since I draw a fetish crowd much of the time the outfits don't even have to come on and off all the time. If I wear a tank top and panties like many girls say is best, my guys are shocked and some won't go private because they've come to expect high fetish from my "brand". If I'm not wearing what they want, I just tell them, I'll wear whatever you want--in a block session.

    ^That said, next time I get on, going to take a shot of my big bubble butt (my most prized feature) in a sexy new pair of expensive brightly coloured panties I got, up close. I haven't done one of those in years!
    I've been filming a lot of clips lately, and shooting a lot more in bright lingerie and pink. I hate pink, in reality but it gets requested a lot for custom clips. The camera does love colour. My fetish fans love their black though.

    I have always struggled with taking pics of myself as i have no one to do that for me, for a few years i had my sony camcorder working & used to take pics with the remote control, tho was very hard to see myself in camera little screen as i could not connect the cam to the pc anymore due to camera being too old/ outdated (drivers issue, software issue).

    Now i only have the webcam to take pictures with, not the best quality of pics. I tried with a photo-camera i borrowed from my brother but it was almost impossible to take decent selfies, not seeing myself on camera screen and just shooting blindly was not a good solution. What do u Sam recommend in this situation, what can a cam girl do when she only has a web camera and nobody to help with the pics?

    www.Avs4you.com it is only $50 for 2 years. Record yourself in a video. Go slow through different poses. Then edit the video and do screen captures. All can be done with your computer and web cam

    Would you recommend some separation for my bondage albums and maybe different borders? I don't know how artsy I can get without losing hotness.

    If you have an Iphone, you can use the ear buds to activate the camera in the phone. Just prop the phone up, turn the camera on, get in position and click the button on the cord. Some Androids have a timer on the camera that you can set to take the picture hands free. For a regular camera, try facing a mirror & holding the camera in front of you so you can see the back of the camera in the mirror reflection. Get yourself in position, then just turn your eyes to look at the actual camera (not in the mirror) to take the picture. If the camera has a timer even better. You can just prop that baby up and shoot away. I've done whole sets using a point and shoot with a timer...it takes a bit of time, but its possible!

    Even though I'm a dancer, this is wonderful advice Sam! I've been in an all-black rut lately. It worked during the slow season when there were very few coworkers to compete with, but now during the busy season I think I've been getting lost in a sea of dancers with black outfits because customers just don't seem to notice me from across the club like they used to. Going to bring out some red tonight no matter how outside my comfort zone it feels!
