Hi all only been around a couple of years so no experience of this. I have just brought a house and woken up to the pound plummeting which is rather worrying. I am on AW and SM mainly so quite a lot of UK custies.

Honestly, I made a lot of cash when the recession hit which ironically was when I first joined. Things were still different back then. Wallets stayed open but I say it's coming back.
Honestly, it's been said before that pussy is recession proof. The truth is, those with money (and those who're broke)spend money on things they usually see some value in. The male orgasm is not going to plummet just because a recession hits. If anything, he'll been more keen to jerk off to delay some of the stress.
Also, in history during the great depression luxury cars (and other high end brands) were still being bought and sold and peaked. People give zero fucks. Yes, it may effect some clients, but the sex industry stands tall even in the midst of drought. If anything what are not doing during hard times is refraining from intimacy. Babies are conceived and dicks still work so you'll be fine.
Be sure to sign up to as many legit sites as possible. Also, sign up for texting and phone sex if that's something you can do. Just in case one site goes down, you'll be glad you have your hands in more than one pocket.

Also, depending on what site you're on, if you have a vast amount of American customers, they probably have no fucking clue what's going on there and will continue to spend, business as per usual.

My experience has been that when guys aren't out spending money at bars and going out, they're spending it on porn at home...ie. US
I've been in the adult industry since 1998 and my income was only affected when working at physical strip clubs during recessions. Camming should be recession proof





Like with everything some will make money no matter what and others won't
If you want to make sure you are recession proof you need to have multiple streams of income.

Phew thanks ladies I have texting and lots of eggs going I just had a brief panic this morning the house is about to go through and the news is scaremongering! Quite a few of my custies are Australian and US because of the hours I am on SM so hopefully that will be okay. Things are getting better and better for me slowly i'm not suffering what others are describing so I guess i'm lucky.


What is your local currency? If it's GBP and you are getting paid in USD, then weak pound is good news for you.





It's a fucking terrible day that's for sure, not least because the UK has proven itself to be a majority backwards, racist nation
But back to your question - our UK custies will indeed be feeling the pinch now. Everything is going to go up in price and at the same time we'll be affected by cuts, making what little money we do have even less. That is the very real downside. The good news at least is that we will get more ££ now from working on US sites
Other things to note - EU legislation governing digital goods which is why AW had to implement 20% VAT on our admin fee on the fees charged to our custies for galleries may no longer apply if parliament chooses to not keep it. This would be very good news as we wouldn't be disadvantaged any longer against camgirls from non EU countries. Having said that UK is very pro censorship, so may in fact keep that act and in even strengthen it, which is worrying.
It certainly makes everything more competitive. The same pool of clients are spending just as much as they usually do on porn, but the amount of active cammodels on most sites we keep an eye on is up 50-100% over last year's numbers. Clients have more choice, but that doesn't mean they're "comparison shopping" by price. Camming has always been a luxury expense, so those with the money to do it at all generally just get what they want. This also means sites can afford to be choosier about who works - meaning they can put a greater barrier to entry via arbitrary (silly) "looks" rules (FWC) or heavier tech requirements.
Bottom line, your tech and hustle need to be cutting edge, but keep your prices reasonably high if you expect to get the most out of your time online.
For the pound-dollar-Euro thing, this will disproportionately effect more sites than others. UK clients traditionally have had more money to spend on cammodels due to their stronger currency and relatively higher salaries in urban areas like London. UK-based sites (AW especially but there are others) have benefited quite well from this state of affairs that seems to have just ended.

Sorry no input here just wanna say i am disappointed by the Brexit results... glad i left the country tho.


I'd imagine the decrease in "general potential profit" in the camming industry would be more relative to the changes in/state of the adult industry as a whole than to any "recession"...especialy since most sites cater to clients from many different countries in many different economical standings.
I first started selling porn videos (not my own, retail) in 2007 - all brand new movies were still like 40-60$ a pop then. With the internet and continued saturation of the market with cheap/free adult material the prices have dropped emensely. I'd imagine the camming industry is simillar and as the market becomes saturated/more free material becomes available the less money there seems to be....supply and demand. But luckily the demand grows with the supply! As more people have access, and as society becomes less sexualy repressed/opressed, more and more people are likely to seek out adult services like camgirls.
Plus we are people not products so even a broke mutha fuka might want to give you all his beer monies lol
*shrugs* I is rambles. Should be on cam lololol
Old enough to know better, too young to care.
My hope is that people will spend more as per Kortney and ggminx's posts. If people cut down on going to physical strip clubs, nights out, bars, clubbing and they want to forget their troubles they may turn to online camming. I don't know.
I feel today is the most historic day I've witnessed in my life so far.
Quite frankly it's frightening.
One thing to hold onto is there's always demand - and camming is a world-wide market with a world-wide audience and not the same barriers as with other industries. Our customers are British, American, French, African, Australian, etc etc etc - the entire world (barring of course those places where it's illegal). Most of the UK camsites are not UK-based in the strict sense.
I'm more concerned about general financial instability and the banks more so than anything else. I don't think 250 billion (the recovery package proposed) would cover a fraction of it if the shit hits the fan.
HOWEVER, I do believe that there will be a (fairly) long period of instability and then things will right themselves.
It's just a question of sitting tight and riding it out.

I didn't feel the effects of the recession til 2010 I think that's when guys really ran out of money... At least in my case.. It was sad.. all these regulars sitting in my room daily , wanting to spend money but had none.. I remember one day in specifically.. I worked 10 hours for $17.. it was complete and utter hell.



I am not working class or am i over 65, i voted out. That is all i will say on the matter.
Now back to the op, the euro dropped dramatically last year after greece defaulted. But it recoveted very quickly so take a deep breath, it will all be fine. We have a good two years before anything dramatic can kick in.
In the mean time enjoy the extra gbp which we will get from the fx rates of other currencies as susie pointed out.
I deserve the life i want. To be adored by men, treated like a princess and to be indulged. I deserve nothing but a life of luxury.
well for uk cam girls it changes for bad yes, currency will low down while for americans and overseas girls will be better as usd will go up. in terms of a wordly issue, i know that usd going up, for my country's economy its shitty but as a cam girl is good, so we have to wait to see whats gonna be.

Should we consider any contingency plan for our personal finances after Brexit? The Mexican Peso is losing a shit ton of value as we speak as well and it's only gonna get worse based on what I'm reading. It's good for me as I make more money camming (Earn in USD, spend in MXN) but it's likely that interest rates on credit lines and credit cards will go up.

I totally didn't realize that the pound has crashed and that the UK has voted to leave the EU. Wow. Well, I'm guessing strenuous negotiations will be happening over the next 2 years.
In this case, ladies who haven't joined SM should do so and join as many US sites as possible as we're up $1.36 to the GBP right now. And don't even let me get started on these new porn laws.
I will still stand by my word and say that customers will still spend and you guys will be okay.

soso upsetting, as someone who is working class but pretty leftist I dont understand why the working classes stabbed themselves in the back like this??
also horny try not to worry too much, the market has stabilised and I dont think we're heading into recession right away, things are going to be very rocky though especially with an unregulated tory government :/

I'm not sure where this leaves MXN in wake of Brexit, but I was just reading a press release on Barron's that the country will be shorting on currencies from emerging markets (with MXN at the top of that list). The MXN hasn't been too great over the last couple years, steadily declining, but shouldn't be rocking when it comes to USD/MXN exchange rates
