camming flirting advice tips

We all know that it doesn’t just take taking your clothes off to keep cam members coming back – it’s your conversation and your ways of keeping it fresh and sexy that keeps them interested and keeps the tokens rolling in. Below is a quick and easy guide to flirting on cam! Yes, it might take a little while to get used to “cam flirting”, but once you practice this new skill to perfection, you will quickly reap the rewards!💰

Stages of Cam Flirting

1 – Friendly Banter

Be clothed, but dressed in a provocative way, project realness/”Girl Next Door”, and maintain a flirtatious, playful demeanor. Smile, build a playlist of sexy/sensual music. Engage in small talk, while making subtle gestures indicating that you’re turned on.

2 – Targeted Flirting

Focus on the member you’ve been getting friendly with and treat him like he’s the most interesting man in the world. Ultimately you should make this guy feel good about himself. Step up sexy body language at this point. Mirror his writing style and word usage. After a few minutes of engaging with this guy, start dropping hints you want to “play.” Talk about how horny you are, how much you want to use your toy, etc.

3 – Flirty “Complaining”

If things stay dry for a long period of time, complain that no one wants to pay. This complaining needs to be done in away that still preserves your sexually aroused and playful aura. Never allow yourself look annoyed or discouraged. Say things like: “Come on guys… don’t be so borrrrrring. I wanna have fun tonight!” and “If you guys don’t show me some love, I’m going to have to turn off the cam and go take care of myself.” Keep smiling and continue to engage in provocative body language. Step up by changing positions and standing up. Get a little more aggressive, use humor and keep it playful.

These tips are pretty irresistible and will get you the results you want time after time. 😉

Dealing with Slow Days as a Camgirl

camming advice
 
Slow days on cam SUCK, but every camgirl will encounter a slow day once in a while. While the definition of a “slow day” will vary for everyone, it is equally discouraging and disappointing.

Here are some strategies to help you handle those slow days!

  • Stay Positive and Patient: Slow days can be extremely frustrating, but maintaining a positive attitude is essential. Remember that slow days are part of the business and everyone experiences them – even the top models. Keep in mind that things can turn around quickly, and you can have an unexpectedly great day at any time.
  • Use Slow Days Productively – This is a great time to catch up on things you’ve been putting off!
    • Work on improving your profile or promotional materials.
    • Plan and schedule content for your social media or premium accounts.
    • Connect with other camgirls or models for networking and collabs.
  • Interact with Your Regulars:
    • Engage with your regulars who are likely to show up, even on slower days.
    • Take this opportunity to strengthen your connection with your most loyal fans.
  • Offer Deals or Discounts:
    • On slower days, consider offering deals or discounts on private shows or custom content to incentivize tipping. A big part of camming is sales and marketing, so don’t forget to promote yourself and offer some enticing deals!
  • Experiment with New Content: This is a perfect opportunity to try out new things to keep your shows fresh and exciting. Experiment with different themes, outfits, or games that may attract more viewers.

  • Take Care of Yourself:
    • Slow days can be emotionally draining. Make sure to take care of yourself, both physically and mentally.
    • Use the time to relax, meditate, or engage in self-care activities. Check out my post on self-care for camgirls.
  • Diversify Your Income Streams:
    • Consider other sources of income, such as selling premium content or affiliate marketing, to offset slow days. Check out my post on making money with affiliate marketing to create a passive income stream.💸
  • Network with Other Models:
    • Connect with other camgirls to share experiences and support each other during slow periods.
  • Budget Wisely: It’s key to manage your finances wisely. During higher income days, set aside savings for slower periods. Check out my post on managing your money as a camgirl.

Slow days are a natural part of being a camgirl, but how you handle them can really impact your overall success.  Remember that slow days don’t define your camming career, so stay positive and focus on long-term growth!

How do you know when it’s time to quit camming?

CamgirlMFC Leave a comment

We’ve all had our bad days on cam (and weeks, and even months), but how do you know when to throw in the towel? When things are not going well on cam money-wise, do you try harder or do you quit?

I think that you have two options when things are not going well and you become disheartened, frustrated, and upset.

Option 1: Change Something!

You either try CHANGE UP your approach to camming, sign up to another cam site, or subscription site, or do another major change such as those.

The fact is, if you’ve been doing the same thing and it hasn’t been working, it’s unlikely it will. (Unless you get lucky, and a high tipper notices you and showers you in tokens). You have to look at what you’ve been doing on cam and see if there are areas that are majorly lacking. A simple fix may be in order, such as updating your equipment (webcam, laptop, lights – more important to looking good on cam than you’d think!), as well as your cam room. If you’ve got all the right tools, but still can’t seem to make money on cam, it might be that the site you’re on is not suited best for your needs. If you’re shy and prefer to be a non-mode cammodel (a “tease” model), then a site like Chaturbate might not work for you, because there is an emphasis on pretty sexual private and public shows.

You might benefit from a site like Myfreecams OR a subscription site like OnlyFans where you’re not required to be overly sexual. In fact, many camgirls have moved to OnlyFans, AVN Stars, etc, because of the flexibility these sites offer, and the fact that you don’t need to come up with complicated show ideas and spend hours of your time on cam. It’s worth trying them out if you feel burnt out on cam and are not getting enough interaction from tippers. A lot of girls make on OF much more money than the ever did as camgirls!

However, if you actually enjoy the live interaction of camming, it might be that you need to look into other cam sites. See my list of best ones here. Try to assess what may be going on with your approach to camming. Maybe you’re not being quite yourself and the viewers are picking up on that, or maybe you need to create a character or persona that you will be on cam, and that is what will make it fun for you.

Viewers can see when you’re genuinely enjoying yourself and when you’re not, and that you’re just going through the motions. If you’re unhappy, feeling negative, or frustrated, you might lash out at people and drive them away even more. Members tend to come to cam sites for entertainment and lightheartedness, a place to get away from their problems and the daily grind. If it seems like you cannot do it, and being on cam is a drag leaving you more and more dissatisfied and frustrated, maybe it’s time to look into Option 2.

Option 2: Quit Camming

So, you tried your hand at camming and you’ve tried OnlyFans or a similar fanclub platform, and things have not gone well. You are not alone. Most camgirls will quit within the first month of camming, so if you’ve stuck it out for more than a month – good job! You gave it a fair try, and it may be that adult industry is not for you, and that you prefer to interact person-to-person, or want to use one of your other skills and talents. Remember, even if you “make it” as a camgirl, the career in the adult industry is quite short-lived, so you’ll either need to save most of your earnings, or look for a way to branch out and leave for another opportunity. (See my post on it here).

There is no shame in quitting, and it’s better to quit than to continue sticking it out and hurting yourself in the process. You might start feeling isolated and depressed and use drugs/alcohol to deal with the painful experiences on cam. Don’t exploit yourself just so you can get some “easy money”, because this money is definitely not easy and can really crush your self-esteem and self-confidence. It’s better to find a lower-paying, but a stable “vanilla” job that you can count on, versus a high risk-high reward one that might never pan out.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure you’re not hurting yourself in the process and that you’re being as true to yourself as possible. Good luck!

Making Money (and Keeping Sane) While Self-Isolating

Making Money in the Time of Coronavirus

These are pretty uncertain times and it can be a struggle for camgirls, and the world at large, to keep the motivation going. It’s easy to slip into depression and bouts of anxiety and panic with everything that’s going on with this coronavirus pandemic, but keeping a daily schedule and keeping yourself busy with work is a great solution to the problem we’re all facing.

Luckily, the adult industry does not seem to be affected as much as other industries, and some might say it is even *thriving* despite the global pandemic. There are more people at home and self-isolating, and so they are looking for social contact and entertainment/enjoyment from cam sites and subscription platforms, like OnlyFans. Quarantine or not, there will always be a demand for porn and other adult services, so working as a webcam model in these times is actually quite advantageous.

Where to Start

So, you need to make money at home and you don’t know where to start? Here is a list of the best resources for making money while in quarantine:

  1. Best Camsites to Start on (click to read more!): My recommendation would be to start with the industry’s “Gold standard” – Chaturbate – and then try out other sites to see how they compare. Check out my Beginners Guide for Webcam Models.
  2. Adult-Friendly Snapchat Alternatives (click to read more!): OnlyFans is killing the game right now! Girls are making thousands of dollars a month from posting photos, vids, and DMing their followers. Check out my posts on How to Get Started on OnlyFans and How to Keep Increasing your Income!
  3. Passive Income Sources for Camgirls (click to read more!) – Sometimes you just want to take a break and not stream at all. When you’ve got passive income sources set up, you can make money while you sleep. I recommend checking out camming affiliate programs, as the earnings definitely add up over time! One of the best programs in the industry is the Chaturbate Affiliate Program (you don’t eve need to be a model to sign up and make $$$)

Staying Sane

Making money is great, but how on earth do you stay sane during times like these?

While playing videogames all day is a-ok, even that will become boring after a while, and so a great way to keep yourself mentally on track is…

  • Structure – Try to wake up at the same time each day and not sleep in too much, keep your meal times pretty structured as well, as well as your bedtime.
  • Some type of exercise – Walking around the block or to a neighborhood park, a beach or a non-crowded hiking trail (whatever is available!)
  • Get some sun every day! ☀️ Great mood booster!
  • Get creative. Do something with your hands (crochet, macrame, bead work, drawing, painting, calligraphy, pottery, gardening) The options are endless.
  • Set small goals to achieve each day – This will give your brain and body added dopamine boosts throughout the day!
  • Keep in touch with people who you care about and who care about you. It can be anyone, and doesn’t have to be family, if they’re not supportive or are negative.
  • “This too shall pass”. Give yourself positive affirmations that you will get through this.
