    Mind Blowing Is this possible for a newbie ?

    I want to start camming, but I'm afraid of starting and making zilch and wanting to tear my hair out. Working the strip club for 200 dollars in 5 hours on the slow days....I hated that! Escorting was right up my alley, and I regularly pulled it 1000-2000 per day working. (I only worked 2 days a week, sometimes 3)

    I got super burnt out from escorting....but camming isn't worth it for me unless I can consistently make $300 or more for a 5 hour shift.

    Is this possible? I want to lose 15 lbs first! I am a pretty, young, heavily tattooed alt type girl but conventionally attractive. I can do fetish, anal, anything you can really think of besides scat and puke haha.

    I understand it is a business and you build it as you go...but I read so often on here about girls making 20/hr still a year later. I can get a good vanilla job making that much!!! And not getting heavily taxed for being self employed to boot.

    You can pull 300$ in 5 hours, but don't expect it to happen overnight. You can do the free chat way or the private chat way. Free chat way: you can make more money in less time and you do just a 2-3 shows max. Private chat way: you need some time to gain some regulars and the ofc you do a lot of shows, it is reccommended to use more sites (splitcamming) so you can make a better amount

    Free chat: you become a little porn star;
    Private chat: not everybody will know what you do.
    But that s just my opinion

    You don't need to lose weight to cam, trust me there is a market for all shapes and sizes. All you need to concentrate on is getting a decent webcam and a good light (daylight bulbs are amazing), then pick a site and get going! No one can guarantee what you'll earn sorry.

    None of us can predict what you will make. You have a great work history of hustling, lots of the gals who do cam don't.
    Nor can we predict what you will be earning a year from now. There are soooo many factors having to do with camera presence, the it factor, hustle, equipment, what cam sites you work on and social media marketing.

    The one thing you do focus on is weight has less than 1% to do with what you will make on cam, unless that insecurity shows on camera. Potentially, you could start off making $100 per hour or more. Those girls don't come here and post as a newbie looking for help, cause they don't need the advice.

    You just gotta do it and see.

    Also, $20/hr for a vanilla job is pretty decent in my area. If you want sure money but a boss go do that. Sure, there are vanilla jobs that pay $20/hr but the job market is horrible right now. And then once you get it your boss is likely to micromanage you, you can't choose your own hours, you can't work overtime if you want to, you can't give yourself a raise (raising your rates like in camming).

    Good luck.

    Just log on and try. You do not need to be thin to do well at camming. A lot of members here can testify to that.

    Remember this is a hard HARD industry to work in. 80% of new model sign ups quit with in a week or two. This is a sales job, and a lot of people aren't cut out for it. That is totally fine. Don't beat yourself up over not succeeding. Try your hardest. <3

    There is no guarantee of income , we have no idea what your work ethic will be it's not like you have come on here and said you've been working for how many weeks and how many hours and sharing us your results.

    Sure you've worked in other forms of sex work but this is camming its a whole different game here with some different rules.

    the image is to prove a point of income and work ethics and individuality.

    You could make $300 in an hour or $5 in five hours. It's all up to you. No one can tell you how much you'll make.

    $20 an hour is not bad. How many people with vanilla jobs do you know make that? Please name the type of jobs.

    ^^ this.

    There's jobs that require degrees higher than what I have and they only want to pay $10-$15 an hour. If you can get a vanilla job that pays $20/hour, you go for it gurl!

    Blue collar/factory work pays well and doesn't always require experience. You may be working long hours and giving up your social life, but if you need money, then you should be willing to make sacrifices. I did it seasonally for a few years before camming. Brutal 12 hour shifts, starting at $21/hr plus overtime. Totally worth it. Also got me used to dealing with vulgar dirty old men all day.

    I also had secretarial temp work that paid up to $16/hr, and a transcription job that paid $19/hr. I only had an associates degree (in an unrelated liberal arts field), basic office/computer skills, and minimal job experience. I hunted and hustled hard to find decent work. I started camming while I was doing another work from home job. After about 4 months, I felt comfortable enough to quit and rely on my cam income alone.

    --

    To the OP: Anything is possible with camming. But aiming to average $60/hour right out of the gate is fairly unrealistic. It might happen, you might even exceed that goal, but certainly not consistently. I think one very important factor to reaching your goals is creating a schedule and sticking with it. You can't expect to make good money if you're only hopping on for a random 5 hour shift once or twice a week. Assuming you've got the basics down (good lighting/equipment/internet) and are fairly personable/interactive, if you treat this like an actual job and get online anywhere from 4-6 days a week for 4-6 hours, you're more likely to succeed.

    Assuming you sign up directly with your cam site (no studios taking a cut) on one of the big name sites (SM-35%; MFC-$.05/token; etc) and really work your hustle, yes it is possible but as the others have said, it isn't guaranteed. Weight, height, look, etc., are not hallmarks of success. Stripping and camming are very different in the way that stripping and escorting are very different. Selling sexuality--even just the allusion of its intimacy--is a commonality, but that's about where the commonalities end.

    If you really know your fetishes and requests, have an engaging and entertaining Life-of-the-Party personality, have the right equipment, and can market the shit out of yourself, then it's very possible. The hours are long though and the time is intensive. You can't just mentally check out and pull in $50+ per hour. When you're online, you're in the spot light.

    There are successful models who do little more than log on and work. They have their hustle game down pat and pull steady numbers.

    There are unsuccessful models who do everything, work all the hours, push all the marketing, make clips, offer phone sex, have dozens of eggs, do all the research, etc., etc. Their hustle does not resonate with customers for whatever reason.

    There are in-between models too, of course.

    Whether your are successful, unsuccessful, or in the middle is a matter of perspective. What one girl call successful may be abysmal to another. You have high-ish expectations for entering, but there's no way to know if you'll succeed until you get out there.

    There are things you can do to prepare like reading this forum and researching, but until you get out there and see how the customers feel about you (and, more importantly, how you feel about this type of sex work), well, you really won't know.

    Me when I am not between vanilla jobs. I usually make between $23-27/hr. That being said, I have a couple degrees and three diplomas.

    There are other vanilla opportunities out there that make good money, are in demand and don't require extensive degrees. Petsitters/dog walkers make about $20 an hour or more once established. You need a vehicle and insurance.

    As a dog groomer, I averaged around $50 an hour after calculating out overhead but, it's a really tough physical job and requires a lot of training.

    If you're a good writer, you could try erotica/romance/fetish, there are ebooks on amazon that give step by step instruction on how to build up an erotica writing business. Most authors are pulling in a good, decent living and some are doing six-figures.

    Real estate is always good. So is home appraisal or inspection.

    Don't forget sales eg. car, jewelery, high end retail stores etc. With our strong EQ skills, we can sell snow to the Inuit.

    If you prefer the work from home, don't rule out being a webmaster, might as well take some of that back from the men who take so much from our cut as cam girls.
    See my post in Verified to learn about an alternative and legitimate way to earn a decent living online.

    Lovense toys work on most sites to bring you more money! You can save up to 50% with my referral .

    Yep. I was making about $23-27/hr with my vanilla job and my degree. But, I was also working 8 hours/day.

    This is a sales job, hourly is just a bench mark to see if progress is being made over time. If you are in Real Estate another sales commission based job you don't break it down as an hourly rate. You set a goal for that day, that week, that month.

    If you were an escort, potentially you could see & book 8 guys a day and work 8 hours daily. Reality is it doesn't work that way, there are not8 guys consistantly to book you daily for every day you work.
    When you first started dancing there was a learning curve and building up regulars, same in escorting. Guess what you have to do in camming? Now could anyone predict hourly what you made hourly at stripping? Did you go into the club and ask "What can I make here hourly?" Didn't the income of one stripper greatly vary from another? What you make at one club differ from what you made at another? Guess what? What you make at one cam site can potentially differ on another cam site.

    Just as your hustle and style may have to be adapted, tweeked to fit at each club, so does it in camming. Cause not all strip clubs are the same in each city much less each state or even country.

    How you hustle each customer varies too as much as each one will spend on you at any given time.

    Unlike a strip club, you can log on and work as long or as little as you want. There is no set schedule, or shift you have to work and NO Cummute. When you strip or escort you are limited to the supply of men willing to pay in that local area. With camming, men log on from all over the world and 24/7.

    Remember, cam money must be claimed on taxes, which can hack 20-30% of your income. Also, remember that cam sites take a significant chunk of your earnings (this is the part I couldn't stomach with camming). I'm not down on camming at all, but if you're used to making even $200/shift dancing (presumably you were only tipping out ~$30/night), it might make you sick to hand up to 60% of your money over to the cam site, and then an additional 20-30% of that over to the tax man. *Personally*, I would cam before I'd get a minimum-wage job, but I wouldn't cam as long as dancing is an option.

    Again, I'm not down on camming. But successful, lucrative camming requires dedication and work ethic that I certainly do not possess. And of course, there are plenty of upsides to camming - I'm just mentioning the bit that was a huge turnoff for me during my short stint as a camgirl!

    I know that I don't take any offense because I am personally in awe of strippers dedication and work ethic. You actually have to be out in the real world with real people where as I can just hide behind my own computer in the safety of my home.

    I do find it interesting that the percentage that the camming sites take is an (understandably big) turn off to you because for me the concept of having to pay for a license (depending where you live of course) as well as having to pay the club just to work there has always been mind-blowing to me. I guess it is a 'devil you know' sort of thing.

    ^ Each has its tradeoffs.

    Dancing is definitely hardcore in its own set of ways.

    But to answer what you brought up, I've never had to get a license (I've danced in five states in three different regions). And I tip out $30/night to make $4-900/night in a four-hour shift). Which is a far lower tipout percentage than usually comes with camming! Some dancers make more, some less, and some cam girls make more or less than I do. Shrugs.

    But this isn't a camming vs. dancing thread. Each has upsides and downsides, as does escorting. I only brought up the site cut and tax thing because that's what I found to be least palatable!

    I firmly believe that everyone has their own place in this industry based on personal preferences. Escorts can't imagine dealing with what dancers deal with, dancers can't imagine dealing with camgirl problems, etc. You just have to try it out and see for yourself!

Weight, height, look, etc., are not hallmarks of success. Stripping and camming are very different in the way that stripping and escorting are very different. Selling sexuality--even just the allusion of its intimacy--is a commonality, but that's about where the commonalities end.

    If you really know your fetishes and requests, have an engaging and entertaining Life-of-the-Party personality, have the right equipment, and can market the shit out of yourself, then it's very possible. The hours are long though and the time is intensive. You can't just mentally check out and pull in $50+ per hour. When you're online, you're in the spot light.

    There are successful models who do little more than log on and work. They have their hustle game down pat and pull steady numbers.

    There are unsuccessful models who do everything, work all the hours, push all the marketing, make clips, offer phone sex, have dozens of eggs, do all the research, etc., etc. Their hustle does not resonate with customers for whatever reason.

    There are in-between models too, of course.

    Whether your are successful, unsuccessful, or in the middle is a matter of perspective. What one girl call successful may be abysmal to another. You have high-ish expectations for entering, but there's no way to know if you'll succeed until you get out there.

    There are things you can do to prepare like reading this forum and researching, but until you get out there and see how the customers feel about you (and, more importantly, how you feel about this type of sex work), well, you really won't know.


    Are you sure about SM cause they give me only 30%?????
