    It depends on how your being a "webgirl", if your running your own website then you should find similar sites as yours and trade links with them... (this takes a lot of time on your part) also you can post your link on "top sites", the more people you send them, the more people they send you. Also don't forget to submit your site to search engines

    If you do live shows, you should join with a site like ifriends or somthing along those lines. When I was doing shows I always had people in my live chat area. I chose to do my shows through ifriends becuase there is so much traffic comeing through on a contiual basis.
    Good luck!

    Just to add my two cents: the market has really changed over the past couple of years. Too many girls are doing shows so the limits are being pushed on what you have to do for an audience. Look what is being offered now. Now "chat hosts" offer talking on the phone with these guys, group sex, extreme toy sex, etc. I remember paying my bills with my webcam work, now it just isn't worth it.

    I do work for a company that is HIGHLY monitored. Always admin on the site. You get paid hourly and set your price for a private session. You have a free chat to show your face (not required, but helps.) hair, lips, legs feet. Also you can download sound so they can hear you talking to them. The site has only 10 at the most on at a given time, so you get more traffic. Also there are sites where you don't have to sit in chat and tease until someone takes you private. They just see some hot pix. Know your hours, and take you private. Lots of different webcam services. And alot love trading banners with you. Brings you both traffic!
    Want more info, i can set you up with a comfortable site for you. PS and work your own hours. Pamela

    Soooooo Many TiNi,
    pm me, and i will send a few your way to check out. Let me know what you are willing to do, couples ect. And if you want a free chat with your crowd, or just a pay site with your pictures, and the hours you are on. (No free chat in that one.) Webcam is alot like dancing, in free chat you have to hustle!

    Hi Riotgrrrl, it depend on what type of webcam work you are shooting for, as there are many types of cam sites. Hourly plus private pay. Free chat. No chat, ect. Pamela
    PS and some are a no tabboo company, where others have strict rules as into what you can do. Example: No bloodletting, urination, role playing rape, bondage, incest, zoofilli.

    TiNi, you can do well and start out with a $60 logitech webcam. Thats what i did. Pick a site you like and download the software. Takes a few minutes. MUST have a fast connection, DSL, Road runner, ect. It's VERY easy to get started. Go to your local BestBuys or any store that sells cheap logitech webcams. I have alot of pictures taken with my logitech before i went to a Camcorder. BUT not needed for alot of sites. Start small, work your way up, until you see if you like it.
    One site i can send you to to see me is my user name: WebPam1. I have some pictures there. Taken on a $60 cam. And my pics. are clear. Go to all performers, scroll halfway down your screen until you se my name. Click on my pic. Lots will follow. Hope this site will help you better understand. It's like a small strip club, lots of regulars, not many girls on at once to compete with, great pay and a newsletter every pay to keep you updated with the site. And watched over BIGTIME by Admin. I have not worked them for a while but they are great!!!! I need to start back up! I also have more if you don't care for the site. And you can call with questions!!!
    Lotsa luck...Pamela And that is my hair when i dyed it brown....YUK. :-/

    Why TiNi you can snail mail you copies in. Or maybe local library may have one, or a quick copy shop always has a fax to use, and pretty cheap. Some business that you are familiar with may let you fax for a couple $$ Pamela

    As of January First there are some important new wrinkles to contend with for girls trying to make money on the net. Thanks to last year's new laws which were supposedly meant to restrict money-laundering by terrorists, EVERY business or individual that wants to be able to process credit card charges on the net is now subject to a "verification". What this really means is that in order to collect money directly from customers on the web for a pay website, an independent webcam, or anything else, you must now pay $750 up front for an annual registration with the credict card processors. You must then survive an investigation that shows you are a legitimate business or individual with a permanent address and a halfway decent financial history. If you pay the money and you survive the investigation the processing companies will then collect money from customers' credit cards on your behalf. Even so, if your cancellation rate or refund rate or complaints about you are above a certain threshold, the processors can cancel your processing account (and keep your $750!).

    The good side of this is that since January First a LARGE number of fly-by-night pay websites have disappeared from the net. In my own case this has resulted in about a 50% increase in business for my pay website in the past 2 weeks, for no other reason than with fewer websites online my website is now easier to find! On the bad side, this means that a new girl thinking about starting a pay website now has another large expense and another hurdle to jump over before she can get a pay website online and even find out if it will earn any money.

    Also on the bad side, many "small time operators" who were forced out of business by the $750 fee and investigation up front, and whose pay websites are now defunct as a result, are swarming to the large "service" type websites like IFriends, GirlTime etc. They're doing this because the website operators can collect money from the customers using the website's processing account and then later pay a share to the models so the girls don't need the ability to process credit cards themselves. But this has increased competition at these large "service" type websites even higher than it was already. And, of course, these girls wind up "Paying for the Privelege", because the large "service" type websites often keep up to 50% of the model's earnings as a hosting and processing fee, or as Pamela has posted, they pay their models a fixed fee per hour and keep all or most of the model's earnings.

    For example, I used to be a "partner" at , where I shot and posted my own pics and where I split my earnings 50-50 with the Photoclubs people who did the hosting and credit card processing. However, their new deal is that they now pay models a fixed fee for a weekend of shooting photos, then they post a few of the 1000s of pics they shot every couple of weeks and keep ALL of the earnings for themselves. I quit being a partner, because if I took the new deal I would have winded up "competing against my own pay website" in exchange for a one time modeling fee amounting to peanuts.

    I'm also beginning to hear the the going rate for "photo shoots" for websites has gone down since the first of the year. This is not surprising for the same reason, that there are now less pay websites active, and the former "small time operators" who used to shoot and post their own pics on their own pay websites are now looking for paid modeling work with the larger websites that remain etc.

    Also, as Tini posted, there are now so many girls competing on the big "service" type websites that for webcam work it's now virtually essential that a girl doing webcam have a cable modem or DSL line. plus a high speed computer at home which can process at least eight video frames per second, in order for her to make any money. IFriends has actually differentiated high speed camera hosts into a separate sub-category which show up at the top of all searches. This means that if you're trying to do a dial-up webcam, that guys will not see your webcam on the "menu" page until after they've been shown all of the cable modem and DSL webcams in the same category..

    Another problem with webcam, some guys have dail up connection while taking you to a private session, and your picture is always a few frames ahead of his, even if he is running DSL and Cable included. I had a guy one night leave private, he's on dial up now...very slowwwwww, and he banged out when he was done. I heard the door shut (meaning he is no longer paying for my show,) but his name remained in my top corner saying he's still a paying customer. Well, he had a slow connection, i have a fast one, i do 3 frames per second. Alot of people saw me in free, before his name popped off. That'a a big problem with guys on dial up as well. When i hear the door slam i am outa here! Learned the hard way. Pamela~ :o

    Yep alot of guys have dial up. Keep your volume up on your computer, and when you hear the noise that says the customer has left (can be a ding, or door slamming, etc.) Get out of the cams site, his name will still show as in private, you are NOT. And alot of guys now won't tell you they have dial up, more for the money. The site i work, they watch closely, and if Admin is in your room, they will knock you off when the paying customer is no longer paying. Pamela

    Well this might sound wierd,, but I wanted to put my two cents in about all the web cam talk even though I am a site customer and not model. I have however become quite good friends with several of the models and we have discussed the successes of it. The site I have been on for the last three years is called Peekshows.com and it has other smaller spinoffs that still are accessible from it. I have found that they go thru alot of girls but there are still some original girls there who have made quite a go of it.
    Also most of them do not have nother job but some are in school. They have a studio or u can do it from ur home also.
    Question,,, I assume it is ok for me to tell these "friends" of mine about this site? I think they would benefit and so woudl the people here.... Well thats all for now

    It would not be a problem. This is "other work" cam stuff etc. I am familiar with Peekshows.com, but the site wanted me to take down my firewall to gain access. That was some time ago, maybe the site has changed. But then i have changed firewalls, as well. Alot of cam site i can not get into now because of my firewall.

    Anyway nice site indeed. And all cam sites go through alot of girls pretty much. I like Girtime alot because, they have the same regulars who you can actually phone with. They monitor the site 24/7, and you will get banned if you braek any rules quickly.

    hey pamela,
    i don't know if you'll see this since this thread hasn't been active in a while, but i wanted to ask you about working at girltime. i signed up with them and worked for several hours one day until i had some weird connection problems and had to stop, and i didn't get one private show. i haven't tried to work again because my mom was staying with me for the last week, but i did periodically check out the site to see who was working and if they were in private shows. so far i've not seen anyone in a private show, ever! do people actually make money there?
    also i wanted to ask what you do when men in free chat boss you around, like "bend over" "show titties" etc. do you do what they say? it makes me so mad to be bossed around like that especially when i'm almost certain that they're not going to buy a show. how do you deal with all the assholes just looking to get off for free?

    Hi Wendy,
    webcam is not for everyone, thats for sure. At GT. They have alot of regulars there. And one day or one week may not be enough to build up a client base. Guys like friendly looking girls, kinda sexy, innocent. If you check it out at different hours of the day/night, you will see one girl kicks ass, TastyTracy. Some others do to.
    As far as the rude guys, easy to ban them if you wish, or warn with a kick. No free in public chat, bottom line. You will always have beggers, because some girls give up more in free than others.
    I am firm when working GT. I am quick to ban. And i will dress sexy, show my ass maybe 2 times with a g-string on, hand bra quickly, just to tease and get them going. It stops there. Then they have to go private.
    Also remember, alot of guys are watching you, even though you do not see their name in your window. So they can check you out and just decide to take you private without you knowing they where watching.
    That has happened to me alot. I wish i had more time to dedicate to the site, because you really do build up some regulars. And if you get well known, it's not hard to make enough to pay bills. Seriously.
    You just have to be a good hustler, and dress to impress! Smile, and don't give out too much in free. Because they will pay. I had a pretty good clientel going there, then my cam took a shit, so now i run off a logitech.
