    Default Reality of camming??

    Been looking into camming for so long now and ive decided im gonna try it and put my all into it. I know its different for every cam girl and it could go either way good/bad but im interested to know how much others made in the first few weeks of camming. I'd be working at least 4 hours a day at the same times

    If I recall correctly during my first week I made maybe around 500, but that was on Camz ages ago.

    and if you are looking for how much everyone has made most of those threads have been shut down or deleted.

    basically our results are not typical because we are not typical.

    I made...(drumroll please) $10! Yes, $10. In about 14 hours spread over 4 days. My first 2 weeks were total shit. I don't think I cracked $200 total in my first MONTH. Welcome to the Thunderdome.

    Reality:
    You will likely be capped and put on tube sites.
    You wil likely not make what you think you will.
    You will be overwhelmed by the treatment of jerks.
    You won't know what half the fetishes are or how to do them.
    You will spend your first few days dildoing when you don't have to.
    Like somebody said you might not last two weeks and if so in a few months you will need a break
    You will likely go through a phase where you might feel guilty or dirty or hate yourself for it. Whether that goes away or not will depend on you.

    The Reality::::
    You have to have a backbone to work in this industry.
    You will tolerate less IRL if you continue to do this work
    You will become more people smart
    A technology expert
    Better hustler, you will look at men for what they can do for you. Most relationships are some sort of exchange anyways.
    Find out what you are really made of.
    Feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster, with one week crappy, then the next week awesome!!
    Have the best stories ever! Nobody can make up half the shit we see and hear!
    Look at men in a whole different way!
    You will want to keep your life a big secret from most people.
    Anything you don't want recorded, don't do it on cam!
    You can feel isolated
    You will need to take better care of yourself than you ever did before!
    Total self employment without the security of vanilla job medical care, or any other benefits.
    You have to be very self motivated
    If you got what it take the rewards can outweigh the costs, if you don't, move on to something else.

    Honestly, you never really know how much money you will make Camming, every model is different. Just make the most of new girl status because it is important to build up regulars during that time. New girl status doesn't last long.

    Took me about 3 days to make a total of 20 dollars on Streamate working a couple hours each day. This was back in 2012 when SM still had decent traffic.

    As a newbie; it took me a whole weekend to make 200 dollars but I could make 250-500 per day as pso. Also, I have to hustle differently as cam model than as pso. Also, I can not be as creative as cam model without going into that performance art or faux queen territory.

    Well, I'm in my first few weeks but there's Sssooo many variables in this shiz! Lol I love it though, it's as paradoxil and chaotic as I am! Hahah. where you are going and what you experience will depend on where you're coming from and what choices you make.

    So far for me the biggest challenge is just logging on and doing it! I spend a lot of time thinking about it,
    What I've done that worked or didn't, what I'm going to do the next time, I think and read more and plan and
    get really pumped up to get on there and have fun and make money!!!--- but when it's time to get on and do it
    I just feel like "mmeehhh, maybe tomorrow." Lmao Being self motivated and getting on cam! Is a challenge for me.
    Prepare to procrastinate and try not to beat yourself up when you do, and try to stay motivated.

    As for the jerks, or the "uncomfortableness", or the stigma of adult industry...I don't have a problem really but only because I've worked in a porn store/whack shack for so many years most of what happens on cam seems "normal" to me. But it's definately a thing and if yer not a whackado desensitized trysexual weirdo like myself, prepare to have some "wtf did he just say/do" and "wtf did I just say/do" moments lol or times when you'd like to reach through the screen and strangle some mutha fukas! Lol

    one thing that did shock me: how PHYSICAL this gig is! I'm a pretty fit person, I hike and fish and larp which is intense excersize but after my first week camming I found muscles I never knew existed because they BURNNED LIKE SHIT! omg....it kicked my ass and I'm still hurting 3 weeks in after tryin to slow my roll a little even

    as for the money *shrug* I'm part timming it and at odd hours and haven't tried all the sites I've joined yet. But every time I log on I get better at it and make more monies. That's a win for me. I'm not counting the first two weeks on a "practice/shit site" - so just one week, on 3 times, totaly of maybe 13 hours, I've made 52 dollars after the site's cut. It's not a lot, but for the way I do it and how I've chosen to feel out
    charging prices for ME this is good. I'd suggest not getting discouraged if the money doesn't fly out their dicks like magic right away heh

    it's pretty overwhelming at first but every time you get on cam, you learn more and feel more confidant and comfortable, it fees more natural, and for me that means more n more monies! So go for it yo!! Get dat monies and try to have some fun!

    happy camming! $$$

    Reality is all of the above doesn't matter if you are not properly licensed. Webcamming is a business, you are self employed and are the only one responsible for your actions. Webcamming entails much more then just a computer, internet connection and webcam. Adult businesses in general have more complications then other businesses. Please check with your county to find out what licenses you will need, and if there are zoning restrictions. Where I am from, a license is necessary but where I am from, zoning restrictions do not allow adult businesses to be operated from residential areas (houses). In some counties you do not even need a business license and there are no zoning laws. It varies county by county.

    Reality 2: The only things in life that are certain are death and taxes. In order to be successful, you will have to be prepared to send the irs quarterly tax payments. To figure out what you owe the irs, check out their website for the form 1040ES for estimated taxes. Unfortunately, you can only go by estimation. If you make more, you will owe more. Form 1040-ES will help you figure out not only what you owe for the entire year, but will also tell you how much money you should be sending in quarterly. For me, my quarterly tax payments are well over $1,000. Do not learn the hard way like I did or you will owe a lot more then you should. I learned this the hard way and have made my mistakes in business, but I have learned from them. In order to be a success, one must face failure at some point, make mistakes and learn from them. You will make mistakes, but you will also learn how to tackle and prevent them. You can find all forms on the irs website. I have always gone to a tax preparer, so I never fully understood a profit/loss form. form 1040, etc....until I filled them out myself. I still go to a preparer at the end of the year, but I am so happy I have a better understanding of the forms. I would have never learned, if I just kept paying someone else to do it. All of the above surface level stuff, doesn't matter until you tackle these very important issues.

    I am not calling anyone ignorant, but ignorance really is bliss. You can read back in time in my postsand I once was so happy-go-lucky about camming. I really enjoy camming to this day but I have had bouts of time where I grew depressed, I left the industry for a few years and came back, etc. As an entrepreneur and business owner, you will quickly realize it is not at all about being pretty behind a camera. We are our own staff, marketers, tax advisors, designers, customer support, and thensome. To our guests, we are their therapists, babysitters, bouncers. After years of being an entrepreneur, I have become a stone cold business woman. Camming can be fun but business is not. Last thing on my mind on a daily basis is any of the above, really. They are all valid points. This just shows me how serious and stern I really have become. I kinda miss the days when I would just log in without a care in the world, and would actually get upset that one of my shows ended up on a tube site. Now, I no longer look for myself on the internet...it is not that I do not care, I know what is out there and there is no point in trying to stop it. I am too busy building my empire and putting money in the bank!

    OMG, stop using your toys all the time then. Learn to slow it all down, play out everything before the hardcore action, then use creative hand angles. If you're doing this full time you REALLY need to sort this out or your body will take you out of the game!

    Oh bbies do you need me to show you how to fake penetration? I can make a 14 inch dong look like it is going up my ass, but in reality it is not. I am not saying to fake everything you do, but you are putting on a performance, a show. As long as the customer is happy, in reality it doesn't matter if you are faking it or not. Why tear yourself up? There are certain times that I authentically do penetration, etc...with guests that I know I can enjoy myself with. Work smarter not HARDER BB!

    Just looked way back to my first week on sm I made $839.79 and worked 17 hours, the next week I did about the same. for some perspective that was over 3 years ago. You might make more, you might make less, ymmv based on a lot of different factors.
    I dont know what site you are planning on using but before you sign up or broadcast take a couple days and watch the girls on the site and how they work, different things work for different sites and girls. Don't just watch the top girls watch girls at every level and see what works for them, don't completely copy them but use them as inspiration to work on the tactics you will use to get tips/privates.

    Read everything on this forum. Dont under price yourself. Don't set your private at 2.99/min on SM or get completely naked for 100 tokens on MFC, by the end of your shift you will be exhausted and not have the $ results you want.

    Check out this thread to make sure you are signing up directly to the sites so you get the largest percentages you can, studio websites can look legit and they promise big earnings but they wont do anything for you....before you sign up for a site be 100% sure you are signing up directly, a studio skimming 10% of your earnings can cost you big time, when studios say you get 80% of your earnings they mean 80% AFTER the site cut and they keep 20% for doing nothing.....such a ripoff.

    From what I understand Boleyn Models is the only good studio if you're interested in daily pay, its run by a girl on here and you can read about it here

    I made more in my first few weeks of camming than taking breaks as things slowly died down anywhere from $260/$400 in a day making $30 an hour. It is truly a rush to see the earnings grow and keeps the hustle from burning out..
