    Duh Struggling to get Started Back Up? am i doing the right thing?

    I started camming in the fall of 2017. I suddenly was forced to move and had to stop camming. It took me until the summer of 2018 to find a place to live that was safe and luckily everyone is minding their business and my partner is supportive. I tried to start back last year, but I began doing caregiving and my work schedule got in the way so I couldn't do free chat really and tried to do skypeshows and clips, but couldn't figure out how to market that so I was making as much as I was when I ended free chat on Cams last year.

    So now I have a year old handle on Cams and not very much content and kinda wondering whether it is worth it for me to keep working the old handle on the old site, or start over with a new site or what? I am not sure what is the best way to start back all I know is I have the time now--about 5 hours a day I can reasonably set aside for camming without too much disruption to my space. I'm trying to make $250/week extra.

    ETA: When I suddenly had to move I lost a good bit of my toys and lingerie.

    Thanks in advance for your help and time!

    when your time limited it's important to splitcam.

    add 2 or 3 more sites to your basket.

    plus you can really benefit from new girl status at this point

    about the toys and lingerie...don't worry about it now...use your fingers and wear the bra and panties you have.

    Thanks coco

    I don't think have the equipment to split cam. I barely have any equipment because I suddenly lost my home. What I have now is a laptop, a small amount of lingerie and some toys.

    Yeah time is a huge problem, I work 30+ hrs a week nights and am only available during the day and share a room with my partner so really only have a 5 uninterrupted hours per day since he isn't comfortable on cam.

    I guess I can try a couple of new sites though. I didn't get to grow my profiles like I wanted cause of the disruptons, had to change names for privacy reasons and then couldn't work a second new handle.

    Really hope to get this right and have some lasting progress.

    Most websites won't let you make a new account. USe what you have and stay on cam until you reach payout.

    Guys know or think you are new just for the fact you have not been consistent online.

    thank you coco. I found the splitcamming thread and am reading it. I already am on Chaturbate. I am not sure what sites to combine together, but i think two free chat sites is good? kinda hard to do a tip show/token site and free chat/pvt. But i dunno. I am signing up for other today. Cams has been a pain for me more than once and trying to deal with issues costs me what little valuable time i have.

    Mind Blowing How bad is this? Stage Name the same as another company

    My 1st camming stage name gave clues to where I actually live so I changed it. Since I was in a hurry starting back, I rushed into a name without googling. I have been promoting that identity for a few months, and just found out this week that my name is the same exact name as a special effects company...weird that they would have such a good pornstar name but whatever...

    How bad is this? Should I change it before things get too far? Or should I just hope we stay far away from each other on opposite sides of the internet?


    Thanks again ladies. I appreciate it so much!

    If they don't send you a letter to change it keep it.

    when I wanted Minnie Apple I got a letter from Apple about it so first name round one became Minnie Holly.

    how hard is it to change your name? do the clients usually follow you to the next name pretty easy? and yeah, I'm already making money on this one and feeling it. don't want to change it.

    I went with another type of name, for a few years, before changing into my actual name and my old clients found me anyway.
    If you plan to change, to make the transition more succesful, you can do the next things:
    - Use same profile picture everywhere, for a while, before and after changing your nickname, so people can recognise you by it, at least.
    - Tell your members at least a few weeks ahead, make sure you mention everywhere (profile, social media) that you will change your nickname.
    - After you change your nickname, you can mention on your profiles/ social media, at you are EX (insert old nickname) ad keep it for a while.

    I hope that helps.

    Update: I got online the last couple of days and wasn't feeling Cams.com again...def gonna try another site for privates, probably streammate as suggest here cause I am not sure what is going on my I am not getting the action i need on the site to make it worth it. I am liking chaturbate for the exposure and the fact that i don't get bored in free chat. They seem to like me there. I think I got an SD off there already.

    I am having a setback. My internet is down until Tuesday!!! So just when i get a groove going, I am going to be shutdown for like 3 days cause my roommate broke a cable moving some furniture!

    Default Client requested custom video

    I have a gent asking me for a custom video for a g/g scene. Trying to figure out how much to charge him. I don't have a girl I work with yet, so I would have to recruit someone, obviously this person could probably camming partner as well. I think the pay would have to be generous considering we would both be making the movie just for him.

    Any advice would be appreciated!
