Wanna be a camgirl? Here’s what you first need to know
So, you’ve decided to become a camgirl. There’s money to be made in the business, that’s for sure, but what are the first things that you need to know as a beginner camgirl? There’s plenty of advice on the topic, but luckily you don’t have to scour the web for ages to get you started on what you need to know first. You’ve got it right here.
How do I start camming?
Let’s go over the basics first, and what you should know about camming. Adult webcamming has three elements that make it work: the platform that you’re camming on, you (the camgirl), and the client (the site member). You first need to find yourself a platform that best suits your needs (Flirt4Free, Live Jasmin, Chaturbate are some of the top cam sites on the market). You sign up, submit your ID for verification, and then receive your account from which you’ll be broadcasting. You’ll be paid a percentage of what you earned at the end of the pay period, depending on the camming site that you chose to work with.
You don’t have to start all alone, by the way. There are a lot of studios out there that hire camgirls (both fresh newbies and seasoned pros); this, in turn, will save you A LOT of time that you would normally spend by yourself learning tricks, techniques, promoting yourself, buying the equipment you need etc.
What do I need to start?
Well, first of all, an HD cam. I know, you were probably thinking of using your laptop’s built-in camera, but that won’t cut it. You need to find yourself a high-def webcam, that’s both affordable and can also stream a decent image of yourself. After all, it’s all about the visuals, and your streaming quality is CRUCIAL for your success. When you start by yourself you’ll automatically have to invest, but rest assured, it’s worth the huge returns that you’ll be earning in the near future. You can “bypass” this by joining a camming studio, which usually has the best streaming equipment for the business.
What else do I need besides the cam?
A nice room setting, good lighting, outfits, baby oil, sex toys, and alluring music are ESSENTIAL for a camgirl. All of these contribute to your earnings. Just a simple splash of baby oil coupled with the right music will arouse your members to start tipping you.
How much does a camgirl make?
It depends. Your looks, what niche you’re looking to get into, personality etc). Usually, you can hit four figures a week, and if you’re really good at it you can pull through to even five. As a beginner camgirl, you’ll have lower periods in the beginning, because you need to build an audience, get the hang of things, build up traffic. In the beginning, you might feel discouraged, but DON’T QUIT! After a couple of weeks, you’ll start having regular members, that’ll spend money on you on an ongoing regular basis. Consistency is key.
You need to understand your audience. What do your members want? Can you live up to their expectations? You’ll see that paying members come from all walks of life and that you’ll need to tailor your shows based on their tastes. It’s tricky at first, but if you pay attention to them, show the right attitude and exploit their kinks, you’ll be on your way to making six figures a year easy.
