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!

Best Passive Income Sources for Camgirls: How to Maximize your Camming Earnings!

What is Passive Income?

Passive income (Income received on a regular basis requiring minimal to no effort to maintain it) is something that many of us dream of. By contrast, “active” income takes consistent work, so live camming earnings is one example of active income. Being self-employed and making your own hours does afford you a lot of freedom to spend that time however you wish, so it’s best to spend it on things that will make you money long after the job is done. Clip-making/selling photos and videos and creating blogs require some upfront investment (your time), but then they can make you money indefinitely, literally in your sleep! 😴 If you want to expand your income opportunities WITHOUT having to rely 100% on your camming earnings, read on!


Top 3 Passive Income Ideas for Camgirls

 

1) Selling Your Photos and Videos on ManyVids

Arguably the BEST way to make passive income as a camgirl is to shoot videos and photos to later resell them on sites like ManyVids. You can also sell the same videos on Chaturbate or MFC for tokens or even create your personal site to make them available to even more people. The best thing is that you don’t need much equipment to get started. A webcam or a simple camcorder will work for videos and you can buy a basic DSLR camera to shoot professional-looking photos. Check out my post on how to get started making videos!

2) Posting Pics and Videos on OnlyFans

While it’s not completely passive, OnlyFans is a great platform to very easily make money with your sexy (or sensual!) pics and videos and do so without the hassle of trying to get members to pay and renew their subscription on time – that is done for you on OF. It also allows members to send you tips, and THAT’s where the passive component comes in. It’s great waking up to a tip or two. 🤑 Read my OnlyFans Beginners Tutorial here.

3) Camming Affiliate Programs

Last, but definitely not least, is making commissions from camming affiliates. It’s an underrated way to make great money, and if you do it right, it will create *absolutely* passive, long-term income without you having to lift a finger. You can so this by creating a camming-related blog (Read my post about it here) OR promoting your camsite of choice online on platforms like Twitter, Instagram or Reddit. Get creative! Make sure you’re following their terms and conditions before you begin, however, since you can be banned for posting adult-related content.

  • The first thing to do is to sign up to the various camming programs that you want to promote as a Webmaster/Affiliate. I recommend CrakRevenue for its ease of use and its amazing offers!

The best-performing programs are those that pay you via “Revenue Sharing”, which means that they pay you a commission % of the revenue that you bring in through your link. Chaturbate and MFC have the highest RevShare commissions (20%!) and are the easiest to get started on though CrakRevenue, in my opinion. Click on the links to sign up:

How to Make More Money on OnlyFans: Camgirl Advice & Success Tips!

onlyfans review
 

So you’ve created an OnlyFans account, now what? How do you succeed on OnlyFans and use this platform to its full potential? (And make a ton of money, of course!)

1. Set the *right* subscription price

Although it might be tempting to set your monthly price as high as possible (OnlyFans’ current limit is $49.99/month), my advice is to balance that with what your fans would reasonably afford to pay. You’ll get more followers at a lower price (say, $9.99 or 14.99) and they’ll be more willing to pay for the Pay-Per-View messages and will end up spending ore on you overall. At the same time, don’t shortchange yourself and don’t set your subscription price too low where you might get people expecting too much for too little. It’s all about balance and also knowing your audience! If you’re into Findom, you may very well be able to set a high monthly price.

2. Promote your OnlyFans link online + Advertise your content!

Get creative with this! Definitely promote on Twitter and Instagram, if you’ve got it, as well as promoting your link during your cam shows, if you stream online. You can also share your link on TikTok, Reddit, or your official website/blog. The more places you can showcase your OF link – the better! Of course, don’t go completely overboard and spam viewers with it. Having your link in your twitter bio or even your Twitter name is a great promotion idea. Additionally, make sure your followers know what kind of content they’re signing up for by posting short clips, pics, and polls on your social media.

3. Talk to your fans

make money onlyfans review

The road to a successful camming career and beyond is consistency and communication, so don’t neglect this crucial part! Make a posting schedule and try to stick to it, as well as reply to comments and DMs, which will lead to greater loyalty and subscription renewals. There’s nothing worse than losing subscribers because you simply didn’t post enough content. It might be a good idea to shoot some videos and photo sets in advance, so that you can slowly release them over the course of the month.

4. Try Tiered PPVs (Pay-Per-View Messages)

PPVs are a great way to create stronger connections and make members feel like they’re getting something really exclusive and special to them. You can set different prices (say, $1-3, or $10+) for their messages to unlock. Messages can be anything – photos, videos, or text posts! You can really use your imagination here and create some special photosets, videos or a sexy chat that would make members want to see it. This is a great way of making extra money on OnlyFans!

5. Get to know your audience

You can use your intuition or see what other camgirls are posting, but a really useful way to really find out what YOUR fans want is by making polls! Knowing your audience is the KEY to a successful OnlyFans account! You can figure out what kind of content members want to see next and track which of your posts were successful with the help of the analytics features on OnlyFans. For your PPVs, you can track how many messages have been opened, read, and which prices were the most profitable, so you can learn and make more informed decisions for your future posts.

6. Do promotional campaigns throughout the year

Sales are a great way to draw new people in or engage your current followers by making them feel they’re getting a bargain. Everyone loves a bargain, and promotions create excitement for members. There is always an excuse to do a promotional campaign, be it Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s day, your birthday – whatever you can think of!

7. Consider making your account free – At least for a while!

An alternate strategy to consider is making your OnlyFans account free! This can allow for a higher following as subscribers don’t have to commit to paying a monthly subscription fee. Free accounts can use the pay-per-view post feature, which allows you to monetise individual posts, in addition to pay-per-view messages and tips. Although you don’t have the predictability of subscription income, this strategy can be lucrative and lead to wider brand recognition.

PROS

  • Great customer service
  • Super easy to get started/user-friendly interface
  • The minimum you need to earn to cash out is $25, which is much lower than most sites require.
  • Integration with the AVN network, so you can get nominations and votes for the AVN Awards within the platform!

  • Not as popular as OnlyFans (yet), so it’s a bit harder to make money, due to fewer members having an account.

I do believe that AVN Stars will become as big as OnlyFans as more and more camgirls find out about it.

Making Money (and Keeping Sane) While Self-Isolating

camming work from home

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.
