I decided to write thisfull training for you because I noticed that there was little to no information on this topic on Google. I understand that it is something taboo, but you are thousands of women who are interested in this job and if nobody explains you how to become a Camgirl … I am not surprised to read thatFrance is the country in Europe with the least active cam models on platforms.

Making money on cam platforms: myth or reality?
It’s no secret… If you were curious enough to click on this guide, then you know there’s a lot of money to be made in the adult industry. I don’t need to convince you of this … Webcam modeling is a very lucrative business that will never be in a slump. And as a proof, cam platforms recorded a 25%+ increase in traffic to their sites during the Coronavirus outbreak. When everything was blocked, when all business sectors were in the red, Camgirls around the world were picking up the dough. During this global outbreak, most adult film actresses or bar dancers had to find a quick way to generate income and continue their business despite the closure of establishments and the various health protocols imposed by states.
Guess what? A vast majority of them have decided to go on this crazy camming adventure. The streaming platforms have literally exploded their numbers since March 2020, and since then … The curve keeps growing in a good way. My girlfriends have noticed a net increase in their income during lockdown and personally, I’m getting more and more emails every day for private coaching or one-on-one coaching.
That being said, you can make a lot of money doing this business. Much more than you think. Let’s get real, I’m going to share with you some very serious studies on this topic because I know you like it when I talk numbers.
How much money does the porn industry generate in the world?
- Pornography is an industry estimated to be worth between $70 billion and $95 billion, about 15% comes from the US. That’s equivalent to the revenue of the NBA, Apple, Hollywood Netflix and Spotify combined.
- 12 porn sites and 3 cam sites are among the 300 most popular websites in the world on search engines.
- Every second, 1,600 euros pass through cam platforms worldwide
- Only in December 2016, there were 143.7 million unique visitors to adult websites
- Chaturbate users spend an average of 22.5 minutes in private shows
Through these real-life numbers, I hope you understand the importance of pornography in our time. Even more so now that it’s going digital. Cam sites are recording gigantic growths and the number of users of these platforms will only increase in the next ten years.
You can earn a lot of money from your liveshowsbut this business-model is also very often misunderstood by a lot of girls. Being an online model is not about getting naked in front of the camera, dancing in front of viewers, shaking your little ass and having money magically fall from the sky…
To make a decent living out of this business:
You have to stand out, offer different content than your competitors. You also need to learn some techniques and tricks to gain visibility on platforms and understand how this big mess works.
In this article, we’re going to start with some essentials, basics and fundamentals. Truthfully, I don’t know where you are in your Camgirl career. Maybe you’ve heard about this opportunity and want to know more? Or are you already launched and want to increase the income you generate online tenfold?
Whatever the case, this guide was written for beginners and girls who are just curious about another prospect. But I also know that this article will be consulted by a lot of intermediate models and professionals in the business. Here you will also find some little tips and tricks that I am sure you have never heard of before.
Let’s start at the beginning, what is a camgirl?
A webcam girl, an online model, a cam dancer makes money by broadcasting sex shows on a streaming platform. It’s a huge money-making industry, and even in 2024, there’s still plenty of room for news. If you apply the tips I’m about to give you to the letter, you can quickly make a career in this industry. If you’re in the middle of a career change, bored with your salary job, want to make a lot of money, or want to free up some time to enjoy life becoming a camgirl allows you to be independent and completely free. I have scrupulously prepared this guide to help you achieve your goals. You will learn everything from A to Z on how to become a successful camgirl, earn tens of thousands of dollars a month and be able to travel whenever you want. This is what motivated me to work hard to get there… Today, through determination and patience I enjoy a dream life, free of constraints.
You may be a complete beginner, a professional in the business, or even an ambitious model who wants to take it to the next level, I’m going to share with you the secrets and methods used by the highest paid Camgirls in the world.
What do you think … Why do we find so little content available on Google to educate ourselves on the subject? Look, the girls in the business know they have a privileged place. Most of them are afraid to be outdone by new models who are more prepared than they are. I’ve been in the business for over 6 years and I can assure you that the secrets of success are very well kept by the superstars of the industry.
So trust me… You can make thousands of dollars a month, without much effort, from home. But ONLY if you know what you’re getting into and know your stuff.
What is the salary of a cam model?
In addition to being an exciting, fun and unusual job, this profession can bring you some huge surprises. First of all, money, lots of money. Let’s face it, if you want to do this job, it’s certainly to become financially independent or to be able to afford anything you want. That’s my goal and that of all my friends in the business. As I could tell you,my average salary is more than 4.000 dollars a week, that is almost 3.300€. This figure doesn’t include all my side gigs like my VIP Snapchat, Mymfans and my private Skype shows. But it hasn’t always been this way. I’ve been working in this industry for almost 6 years and my first few months were tough, like all of them. I thought about quitting several times.
But how much can you earn on platforms?
I’ll answer you with another question:
How much time are you willing to spend on your shows?
Because yes you can make a very good living doing shows, but it’s stilla job. And you’re not going to make money by turning on your webcam and twiddling your thumbs in front of your community. If you think that all you have to do is sign up for Chaturbate, start a show, ignore the viewers and not be pleasant then continue reading this article because you are wrong all the way. If you consider this a “side hustle” and you’re not willing to sacrifice 15-25 hours a week… You’ll never reach a 6 figure salary. Your income will be commensurate with the effort you are willing to put in.
You won’t have a salary that falls every month like in the salary world. If you have a slump, for several weeks in a mundane job, you will still get your paycheck at the beginning of the month. As a camgirl, it’s not the same. You’re your own boss, your income depends only on you and your acumen.
Concretely, after her first year of practice a model cam earns on average between $50 and $200 an hour. To earn a good living, she works between 2 to 5 hours a day so between 15 and 30 hours a week for a salary of 1,000 to 4,000€ net per week, 5,000 and 15,000€ per month, even more certain.
Personally, I am at the top end of the range only with my show performances. If I add up the income I earn with Mymfans, my Snapchat VIP group, selling lingerie etc…
I earn over 300,000€ in a year with my online activities.
Not bad though? But you should know that I worked a lot to achieve such a result. This kind of income is the result of many years of hard work. Today, I don’t shoot for 30 hours a week (much less) and I’m really free to organize my days as I wish.
So yes, I advocate the freedom that being a camgirl offers on a daily basis. But do you really think I make a lawyer’s salary without investing time and effort? My life is a luxury, I can take a break whenever I want, go on vacation if I feel like it, work from my bed in my pajamas if I want, but I won’t have guaranteed money at the end if I don’t get off my ass. Going down this path of independence, you’re going to be on your own (unless you have someone with you), but freedom implies responsibility.
Some girls brag about making €50,000 a month…😂
Finally, that… That’s the title of their blog post or testimonial. But have you ever taken the time to read the article all the way through? Let’s be honest, models who earn that kind of income per month do exist. I’ve met some of these superstars, but when you start looking into the routines of these women you’ll notice that:
- They’ve been camming for over 5 years
- They spend 8-10 hours a day with their community
- They broadcast their shows daily(or almost)
- They have aSnapchat Vip, various adult side businesses, an Instagram page, a Mymfans profile, they sell their lingerie
They are true entrepreneurs, businesswomen who all have in common that they are: ambitious, bold, brave, rigorous, disciplined and determined. Put a business in the hands of these same girls, and you will see that they will achieve all their goals in a few months. Let’s face it, there are people who are made to make cash, lots of cash and others who don’t have the shoulders. And that’s ok, it’s not a problem. However, you’re not born strong in business, but you can work hard to get there.
For the past few months, she’s been living in Indonesia, occasionally in Thailand and regularly spending time in Cuba. Let me tell you that her salary of 3.000€ per month is worth much more there than in France or the US. It’s also a great advantage in the camgirl business, as you can work from anywhere: what’s stopping you from living abroad for a while to develop your new business? This is the choice my student decided to make and has since adopted a luxurious lifestyle in the most beautiful countries in the world.
I tell you this as I might tell a friend. But quite frankly, if I had given up on the journey, I think I would have regretted it immensely. I’ve talked about it in my previous posts but my dream was to be able to travel all over the world, live wherever I wanted, and move whenever I wanted. Today, this is the life I lead and I am very proud of my journey.
If I had decided to quit this business after a few months, I would never have been able to live what I am living now. I’m writing this article in a palace in Indonesia, I plan to stay there for a few months and at the end of the epidemic go on a tour of Asia which is a continent I love. I can afford all the restaurants I want, I can afford to pay a driver for all my trips, I buy my clothes without looking at the price and I am invited to very prestigious parties.
I have given a lot to my family, especially to my parents who were under debt for a very long time. All of this was possible thanks to Chaturbate and LiveJasmin, that’s why I consider my life mission is to make as many girls as possible want to start their career in this very lucrative industry. Take my word for it, you won’t regret it. I’ve pushed several friends to get started, girlfriends from all over the world. Imagine a Peruvian girl, whose average salary is $6,000 a year… I trained her and accompanied her in her ascent, after two years, she cumulated more than $58,000 of income a year only with camshows.
The key is to be patient
Give yourself time… Don’t be panicked after a few months if your income isn’t what you’re hoping for, even if you’re a hottie. The first few days and weeks are difficult because nobody knows you. Once you manage to build a real community around you, the money will come to you. Also, if becoming a camgirl was that easy, all the girls in the world would be cam models. However, this is not the case, because many women don’t have the shoulders and/or the courage to start this kind of journey. Good for you for being over-motivated to make a huge amount of money.
Spend as much time as you can doing your shows, share beautiful photos and videos of yourself. Keep in mind that the thumbnail of your show that is shown on the home page is a screenshot, refreshed every minute. So be smiling, be warm and you will be surprised at the results in the medium and long term.
If you are sexy on your shows and welcoming when a user walks into your living room, then more users will come to visit. The world calls the world, it’s a marketing staple. Host your shows every day and hone your skills. Once you have a hundred simultaneous viewers, you’ll see that it’s very easy to earn over £500 in just a few hours. Chaturbate is the best webcam site, at least the biggest on the market. But the competition is strong and you need to differentiate yourself from the others. Either by offering something different, or by highlighting one of your physical features.
If you do it right and follow my advice to the letter, you’ll be earning over $1,500 a month in less than 90 days. Once you reach that milestone, you will see your earnings increase dramatically.
What you need to do before you start
So of course, before you launch your first live broadcast you need to buy yourself a quality webcam and a professional microphone. You also need a computer and a good internet connection. And after that? Can’t see of what you’re missing? You need to train. Every job in the world requires training to get better at it. Look even in the salary life, when you join a new team in a new establishment, you will necessarily get a few days of training to get familiar with your new working environment.
The camgirl job is no exception. Before you launch your live shows, there’s a huge amount to know and understand in order to outshine your competitors. What makes the difference in this business (beyond charisma and beauty) is knowledge. And guess what? I’m going to tell you all about it in this article, I’m going to reveal how I make +€10,000 a month from my sex shows and I’m going to share all my tips and tricks to get your career off to a great start.
Are you really done for Camgirl work?
Before you start modeling online, it’s important to ask yourself if this industry is really for you. First of all,are you comfortable in front of a camera? Do you feel ashamed when you see yourself in pictures? You may have already thought about this but to become a camgirl, you don’t have to be too shy, you have to be able to be assertive and confident. If you don’t have all these qualities at the moment, but you are motivated, all this will come with time. To touch two words on my journey: I started cam in a period of my life when I hated my body and I was ashamed of the image I rejected through the camera. But with desire and motivation, we are all capable of lifting mountains and surprising ourselves. If you are shy and discreet, take this new adventure as a life challenge. You’ll take it on and succeed, you’ll come out a bigger person.
Let’s talk about the reality of the job, sometimes guys who are a little weird or very sexually frustrated (thankfully that’s not the majority), will ask you to do things that are not like you or make you uncomfortable. You need to know how to say “NO” and not give in to the whims of your community all the time. To help you, you can take a pen and paper
Make three columns and list:
- Things you like to do
- Things you might consider doing
- Things you refuse to do
Once you’ve put pen to paper, you’ll know your limits and be able to follow your cheat sheet at your shows. When turning down a request, be sure not to be haughty and unpleasant. If, for example, you don’t like anal simply reply:
“No honey, I don’t do that sorry, however I would very much like you to see me play with my dildo”
See the spirit? Great!
Let’s continue …
How to get more tips?
To understand the business, I spent a lot of time on camming platforms. I analyzed and spied on all my future competitors to be even better than them. I was able to notice one fundamental point: all the biggest donors were regulars of the model in question. As I regularly went back to the show of the girls I was spying on, I noticed that there were often the same aliases coming back into the show. If you want to get big tips like these models I’m talking about, read on in this article for my tips and tricks on how to do it.
Discuss with your community in private message
Most camming platforms have a private message feature so your viewers can get in touch with you. A lot of camgirls neglect this and prefer to restrict their messaging so they don’t get overloaded by the ton of messages. Be aware that when a user logs into your show and doesn’t know you, they’ll want to chat with you, have a few exchanges before moving on to more serious things. And who knows? Maybe he’s a business owner who makes a lot of money every month and is looking for a virtual sugar-baby? In public, men have a hard time confiding in each other, so don’t think you’re going to build a strong bond by posting your chats for all to see. Most guys are more comfortable talking to girls privately than in front of everyone, for fear of being judged or made fun of. Talking with them in private messages will help you get them hot and bothered about sending you money and tips. Once you’ve managed to maintain a personal and healthy relationship with them, you’ll see that it often leads to big tips. Remember this phrase:private messages allow you to create an intimate relationship with your customers.
Intimate relationship + trust = big tips.
Small tip: I know you don’t have time to respond to everyone in your community. Luckily, the big camming platforms give you the opportunity to represent guys with tokens from those who haven’t bought any yet. In practical terms, what does this mean? Don’t waste your time with the ones who don’t have money to spend and focus on the ones who will make you money.
How to see guys willing to spend on Chaturbate?
- Users who are willing to send you tips have a blue or purple nickname
- On xHamsterLive the nicknames will be blue or orange.
All the names you see in black or gray have not yet purchased tokens. That doesn’t mean they aren’t potential buyers. So don’t ignore them, the sex trade works on sex drives. If you can get them warmed up properly during your public show, you may see several grey aliases in your living room suddenly turn blue or purple.
Share your Snapchat account
This technique requires a significant time investment. Because you will get a lot of requests and a lot of messages, be sure you can honor them all. By sharing your snapchat publicly in your camgirl profile bio, or even charging for it for tokens, you can “warm up” your fans to tip you afterwards at your shows. Snapchat is really amazing, as is Instagram, it’s up to you to pick the platform you’re most comfortable with. Pretty much every cam model I know has a Snapchat that they sell or give away to their fans. You’ll be able to share your lifestyle, your day to day life or post sexy photos to get your fans to join you at one of your shows. So take some pictures, look good and treat yourself my darlings! Your fans will feel like they have a real relationship with you, that’s the key to being successful in this business. Some of the guys I used to chat with a lot on the networks confided in me personal things, we talked about everything and nothing. And when I needed them, they were happy to pay all my bills, and others helped me during my personal and financial difficulties.
Once the relationship is built, these guys will always be there for you, remember that.
To sum it up:attract your community on Snapchat or Instagram, warm them up and try to convince them to send you chips during your shows. Share your life on social media, send sexy pictures, no need to send very pro media, fans love amateur content.
It’s simple, fun and very lucrative, trust me.
Do I have to look like a model to be Camgirl?
The answer is simply “NO”
What I want to say may sound boilerplate to you but all women are beautiful and you are bound to have something that appeals to men. Have a little confidence in yourself, my regular readers know that during my childhood I was bullied at school. These traumatic experiences totally broke me from the inside and destroyed my self confidence. Focus on your own physical and mental characteristics. Can you have a quirky look, a great little ass or big boobs? Or even small breasts? Don’t be self-conscious. Want to read something fun? I advise you to highlight that physical feature you have, yes I mean what repels you in front of the mirror! Focus on that and you will see that a lot of men like uniqueness and natural women. If they wanted to see perfect bodies and duck mouths, they would already be on Pornhub or some other free tube. Do you have a tomboy personality? Play that up during your shows. If you let your personality shine through, connecting with your viewers will be easier. What you can take away from this paragraph is that alternative looks are very popular with cam platform customers. There is a niche for each of you, and for every type of appearance you can think of. If you are curvy, portly, know that many guys are turned on by that body type. Clients will love you for who you are and for the confidence you exude through the screen. A confident woman is bound to be charismatic and that’s what guys in this industry are looking for.
The common points of all successful women
The models I know who have been most successful in this business all have some things in common that I’m going to take the time to list. First of all, they all log in between 10-30 hours a week. It’s important to be present to create a community and build trust with your viewers. Put yourself in their shoes, you’d like your favorite camgirl to be online regularly so that whenever you feel like it, your virtual girlfriend is ready for you. Those who work at least 20 hours a week are usually the highest rated and highest paid models.
Another commonality I’ve noticed is that the most successful ones are the ones that offer a near perfect audio experience. That is, they all have great microphones and interact with their communities by chatting with them verbally. Use your voice to converse, more so than writing. You need to engage the two main senses of the people you are talking to sight and hearing. You’ll find that guys will want to spend more time with you and will be willing to send you big tips. Keep in mind that if the guy logs on to a cam platform it’s because, beyond the sexual aspect, he’s missing a female presence.
Give him a little attention and you will see that he will know how to return it to you.
The last very important point not to neglect is your show space. The room you are in to stream should be clean and well lit. We will come back to this later in the article. Many of my girlfriends don’t stream from home, but rent an Airbnb to work quietly. You need a well-lit room in which you can talk loudly easily, cum without holding back, and most importantly offer your users a qualitative show. Make sure you are not disturbed during your shows, whether it is your pet, your boyfriend or even your roommate. Regarding the lighting, I will write an article about it soon because it is a very important point. Prefer a three-point lighting system with one light directly in front of you and two others on the sides, but directed towards your face and body.
How do webcam models get paid?
There are many ways to get paid as a Camgirl. We’re going to focus on the most mainstream ways and especially the techniques that have allowed me to make a lot of money. First of all, you can make money by broadcasting public shows, this is the basis of the business. You create a broadcast show, guys join you to chat with you and send you tips. That’s the number one way to make money on sexy streaming platforms.
Second way, you can do private shows, one-on-one, with one of your clients. You set a price and the user pays you by the minute to chat with you exclusively. He can send you even more tips during his private shows to push you to fulfill his desires.
Finally, you can buy a Lovense or a connected sextoy to have your show-goers send you tips to make your toy vibrate. These three techniques, when combined can make you a huge amount of money in one night of broadcasting.
You can also create a wish list on Amazon, a wishlist and let your community give you gifts. You’ll be surprised how many guys take pleasure in pleasing you.
More surprisingly, you should know that there is a used panties market. Admittedly, it’s special, but very lucrative. You can easily sell your underwear, know that a lot of guys are willing to buy them from you, especially if you come the ones used on your shows, the price will skyrocket.
Bonus:You can create a Mymfans or Onlyfans account to share sexy photos and entice your community to join you on these networks. Customers will pay monthly subscriptions to gain access to your exclusive shoots and media. On these fan platforms, guys will also be able to ask you for private photos, just for them, which you are free to price. Another thing, you can ask your regulars to pay you to shoot unique videos for them. This kind of practice is very popular. This is another way to make money when you are not in front of the camera.
Protect your private and personal life
This part is not to be taken lightly. You probably don’t want anyone in your family or any of your friends to come across your show while you are broadcasting. Your privacy is very important and it’s important to know how to keep things separate and toseparate your professional and personal life. Most camming platforms offer models to restrict certain geographical areas. If you don’t know how to do this, you can contact me so I can help you with this. Specifically, if you are from Paris you can block all users from Paris or even from the whole of France to prevent you from being seen by your acquaintances. However, if you don’t want to conquer a French speaking audience you will absolutely have to speak English. If you are already comfortable with the English language, that’s fine. Although French women are very popular abroad, Americans and English people want to converse fluidly with their favorite model.
I’m not going to pretend that if any of your personal information leaks you’ll have guys knocking on your door every fourth morning. Because that’s just not true. The reason I’m asking you to be discreet is because you probably don’t want your loved ones to know about your new job. You don’t want to be harassed or teased, which is why you need to protect yourself. When a woman is successful in life, she attracts Haters, jealousy and malicious people. You will need to be psychologically prepared for these kinds of mishaps. Personally,I’ve never had any problems during my camgirl career, but some of my girlfriends have had toxic guys try to blackmail them.
I have an American cam model girlfriend who loves popularity and fame, she lives in Miami and lives like a movie star. Fans know her real identity, she even has a Wikipedia page dedicated to her. She gives interviews on TV sets, paparazzi take pictures of her when she goes out etc… But I know that the vast majority of you don’t want a star life.
So be careful. Many guys will want to know more about you, will seek your phone number, your WhatsApp or your personal Instagram. You should always refuse these offers and calmly explain to them that you want to have perfect privacy to avoid problems. Don’t be fooled by manipulators who will ask you intrusive and personal questions, they will look for the slightest clue on your profile to find you on Facebook, make inquiries if you show the outside of your house,it’s better to be too paranoid rather than too naive.
When a guy gets a little too nosy, be sure not to be obnoxious, answer him “No” in a straightforward but not aggressive tone. Tell yourself that all this is part of the job and that these guys fantasize about the perfect virtual girlfriend. They will always want to know more about you. That’s why you have to invent a new self, a double identity. It sounds a bit schizophrenic what I’m explaining to you, but it’s very important to survive in this industry without running into problems. Your name, where you come from, what you do, your dog’s name, your best friend’s name, and your hobbies are all your own business. Invent a new life for yourself, you can change your characters’ names when you tell anecdotes, it’s a mechanic to take. Personally, I loved having a second identity. Every time I turned on my camera to broadcast a show, I became another person, I went into my camgirl role and when I turned off the camera, I became myself again. That’s how you manage to maintain a secret life perfectly separate from your modeling activity.
Just like secret agents, your story and past that you make up has to be a little unusual, original, exciting and mysterious. When guys ask you why you do this job, you can tell them straight out “Oh I was a stripper a while back but now I want to work from home. I’d like to travel all over the world and join a girlfriend in Peru!” Now that’s a perfect example.
“I’m doing this job because I need money to assist my sick mother” is definitely not what your client wants to hear. Don’t overdo it, but make your visitors fantasize and tell them what they want to hear.
To conclude on this part, I ask you not to give your visitors personal information. Even more, you should be careful not to use your real first name on your broadcasts. Choose a persona, a nickname that you will only take during your shows. If you want to share your social networks, be sure not to publish your personal networks but to create new ones specific to your camgirl activity. Some bad guys could blackmail you if you were not careful enough.
How to choose the best camming platform for work?
When I coach new models to become camgirls, I notice that many of them do not want to work for another platform. They want to put the cart before the horse and think they can just create a stream site quickly and start their shows and have new viewers magically join them. I would advise against this approach, in my opinion you need to spend your time and effort on broadcasting quality shows rather than on promoting your shows. You need to focus on what you are good at, which is entertaining your customers and leave everything else to the cam platforms. Sure, they commission a portion of your income, but that’s part of the business. I often take the example of Amazon or Cdiscount who take a share for each sale made on their platforms. Sellers don’t get 100% of the revenue they generate but they pay for the service and customers that Amazon or Cdiscount can bring them. The bigger the platform, the more users it has and the older the site, the more models it has. Smaller, newer and less reputable sites take less money but you won’t have many people in your salons. It’s up to you to choose the strategy that you think is best.
Chaturbate for example has been in this industry for over a decade, hundreds of millions of dollars flow through the platform every year. Beside that, there are a lot of white label cam sites possessing almost zero community but paying their models much more than Chaturbate or LiveJasmin. However these sites are often created by beginners and at the slightest attempt of hack, your personal data will be on the Deepweb.
No one wants to go through this kind of negative experience.
If you are serious about your business, don’t take any chances. Work professionally and with professional companies. I have always worked with several international sites, big camming platforms. This has allowed me to focus solely on my shows and let these cam sites promote my show for me. Among all the sites available, I could mention Cam4, Stripchat, xHamsterlive, Cams.com, BongaCams and many others.
You can test working on one site, then another, then another. Then compare the pros and cons of each platform. Analyze which cam site you make the most money with and stick with it. You can also work on several sites at the same time. But this only works in the short term. When you start to get some notoriety, you will notice that your income comes mainly from a few regulars. Then you’ll have to focus on the cam site where all your fans follow you.

How to join a sexy cam platform
Each cam site has its own particularities, however sites often ask for the same things:
- Your actual personal data (first name, last name)
- Some photos of you
- Your age (to find out if you are over 18)

The creation of your public profile (avatar, bio)
I advise you not to try to impersonate someone else or enter incorrect information. Sooner or later, the platform will realize the deception and you will end up being permanently banned from the site.
Why are these platforms asking you for all this information?
Simply for your safety and protection. In general, big platforms are fighting against identity theft and the only way to prevent fraud is to check the identity of all models. Don’t be afraid, your data is encrypted and unbreakable. In the history of cam sites, no hacker has managed to penetrate the database of Chaturbate, LiveJasmin and others who have a high quality security system.
In order to keep your camgirl business separate from your personal life, I advise you to create a new email address to which you will receive all messages from your fans as well as ongoing transactions on your account. Make sure you don’t include your real first or last name in this address, put a nickname or the nickname you use on the platforms.
How to have a perfect camgirl profile?
Your profile on platforms is extremely important. Apart from the quality of your shows, visitors will decide to enter your salon based on your personality and profile. Every detail is important, you should not neglect anything. I’ll give you some tips, but I advise you to make a list of the top 10 camgirls trending right now and get inspired by their profile and biography. Analyze, see what they might have put together and get inspired.
First of all, your username is very important. As I told you above, it should have nothing to do with your real life identity. Don’t put your real name, first name or any other element of your life that could allow customers to find you on social networks. Create a unique nickname, different from those you may have used before. To get an idea, you can once again look at the nicknames used by super stars webcam models for inspiration.
Media (photos, videos) – This is also very important. On most cam platforms, you can add photos and/or videos to your profile. These media are inaccessible to the general public, your customers will have to pay to view them. This is a perfect alternative to make money even while you’re not broadcasting.If a user comes across your profile while you’re not online, but they had a real crush on you, then they can buy your photos and videos to indulge themselves even if you’re not online. At first, you can take these media yourself. Once you start making money, hiring a professional photographer is a great idea to produce high quality content. All models do this, so don’t miss out.
Pro-Tips: it is necessary to have a communication channel to talk with your regular clients. Sure, you can talk with your fans directly on the live chat provided on the platforms. But when a guy sends you a lot of tips and/or offers you gifts, it is necessary to maintain a great relationship with him. Keep in mind that if this guy is doing all this for you, it is to create a loving and/or sexual relationship with you. Even if it is not reciprocal, you must pretend. And that comes first and foremost through talking and listening. You can create an email address specifically to chat with your fans, a Twitter account, Instagram, Snapchat, Mymfans or Onlyfans… This industry is constantly moving, make sure you’re not behind the other models. Always respond to their messages, even if it’s just a few words. Don’t worry if your response is late. You are a businesswoman and your clients will understand that you don’t have much time for them. The key is to always write them a nice note, or check in with them from time to time to encourage them to come back to your salon.
Be sure not to mix your camgirl accounts with your personal social networks. Never make the same post on both of your respective profiles, you needan account for work and a personal account for friends and family. None of the contacts on your private profile should be shared with the one intended for your camgirl activities, and vice versa.
Your first few weeks of work will not be all restful
During my career as a camgirl and sexy cam coach, I’ve seen a lot of different profiles come through. Some chicks sign up on a platform, stream for a few weeks, get a fancy bag and a nice outfit then leave and never come back. Others are ultra-motivated the first few days, they spend a lot of time every day broadcasting and programming their show. They are disappointed with the results and then delete their account. Others are patient, they follow a very precise broadcasting schedule, some days they sit in front of their camera for long minutes without having many clients but they persevere and reconnect the next day. The third category are those who will become rich in the long run and will be able to live the life they dream of.
Like any other job, it takeseffort, willpower, time and patience. To make a huge amount of money as a camgirl, you need to create a strong community around you. But this success will not fall on your head, you have to work for several months, several years to earn the salary I make today (about ten thousand euros per month).
As you go along, you’ll understand male desire, you’ll gain experience, regular customers, high quality stream equipment. And the more you stream, the more the platform will put you in front of the site. You will become more and more relaxed, comfortable, confident and richer than before.
After a few months of work, you will earn a very comfortable, life-changing salary. Once you reach your goals, you can quit and move on. Personally, I love this lifestyle, the attention I get during my shows, the hundreds of compliments my fans give me during my shows and I love being in the spotlight. So I continued my career for almost 6 years, before stopping to become a camgirl coach.
To sum it up: hang in there, don’t give up, the first year will be hard but you will be proud of yourself when you see the money fall from the sky. Your efforts will be rewarded, trust me.
How to manage your fans in your live-streaming-lounge
I’d like to start by saying that everyone is different. Most of you don’t know that there are different kinds of guys. In your personal life, you are often around the same people, the same social circles. But as a Camgirl, you’ll find that you’ll be talking to guys from different backgrounds. You may be dealing withyoung people in sexual misery, retirees wanting to enjoy their dough through camming platforms, or businessmen who don’t have time for real life romantic relationships.
At first, you will definitely be stressed or scared when you host your shows. Simply because the unknown is scary. You don’t really know how to talk to your visitors, what tone to use and how to get them to send tips or ask you for a private show … Some women I coached were too nice and didn’t know how to say no. Even when the requests were special and against their ethics, they couldn’t manage to refuse to do something. Others don’t know how to handle offensive guys and get rid of the toxic and vicious ones.
I don’t necessarily have any advice for you, it’s all learned over time. I did it, other girls did it. At first it’s complicated but once you get around a lot of guys you can figure them out quickly.
Well I’ve painted a bit of a strange picture of camming platform users, but rest assured: most of the guys are benevolent. The vast majority are pleasant and full of surprises. Don’t expect to run into monsters, sexually frustrated guys or even perverts. They are middle-aged, educated, intelligent men who have a solid schedule and are lonely. Some are divorced, widowed, shy or married in a relationship that doesn’t make them happy.
And you, as a camgirl,are there to come into their lives and fill a void. They pay you to dance, strip, masturbate with them, have erotic conversations, or even get compliments from a woman. By dint of broadcasting shows, you will often see the same pseudonyms in your living rooms. You may receive messages like “How are you today, beautiful?” “Why weren’t you online last night, I missed you…”
They want to see beautiful, sexy women wearing daring panties and exciting lingerie. Others will ask you to parade in front of your camera in high heels and/or dress like a nurse or a student. You may get some stranger requests, the trick is to set your own boundaries and make sure you don’t overstep them.
Some of my girlfriends aren’t afraid of anything, they’ve already agreed to requests like recording themselves while they pee (yes, a lot of guys are willing to pay for that). But not all models are so extreme, if a guy asks you for something you don’t want to do, just explain to him that it’s not what turns you on and that you’d rather do something that’s consistent with your values and desires.
Don’t humiliate your clients, don’t make fun of them and especially never show them that you think they’re strange when they ask you for things that are a bit odd. Everyone has particular fantasies and some guys (under the cover of anonymity), don’t hesitate to express their wackiest desires.
Get to know them truly, reach a level of intimacy that will allow you to broaden your perspectives, better understand and respect each human being and have compassion for all.
During my career, I’ve uncovered some parts of my sexuality that could have probably remained hidden forever. There’s nothing wrong with letting loose on your shows, the trick is to stay straight in your boots.
How-to-host-a-live-streaming-show?
Users log on to your living room to live out their fantasy. If they stay in your living room, it’s because they like you. Keep in mind that they don’t come to you just to masturbate, there are tons of free porn sites for that. They just need you and need a female presence to listen to them. It’s up to you to understand what they want and give it to them. It’s a bit of counter psychology, but it’s real. You will be their mistress, their friend but also their sex therapist. If a guy demands a private show from you for more than 30 minutes, even several hours for some, you will be exhausted both physically and mentally, but you must not show them and keep your energy from the first minutes.
If you got some bad news, are sick or just not in the mood…It’s better to cancel your show rather than force yourself. Guys will sense that you’re not really in the mood and won’t come back to see a woman they feel like they’re forcing. Keep in mind that your regulars will be your main source of income. You have to pamper them and not do anything to offend them.
If possible, don’t leave for long minutes during your show. Remember to relieve yourself before the broadcast, have something to snack on and drink. Smoke if you feel like it and don’t let anyone into your room during your broadcast. Make sure you are in a quiet environment, out of sight. Play appropriate background music that is not too loud. Don’t phone during your broadcasts and don’t exchange messages with your friends. Be fully active and invested during your broadcasts.
Be cheerful, smiling, pleasant, look excited and dress sexy. To uninhibit yourself, feel free to have a drink or two, armagnac, good wine or your favorite liquor, but be careful not to get drunk during your broadcasts. The moderators might send you a warning if you are, you need to be perfectly lucid during your shows not to do and say anything stupid.
Let yourself go and most importantly have fun. Dance when you like a song you put on, let your shirt open a little to get users excited and tease them. Be sure to look directly into your camera lens when you talk to them, to a customer it’s like looking them straight in the eye.
Try to answer every guy in your salon, but instead of wasting time writing your answer, you can speak into your microphone. Give attention to the people who deserve it, your regulars and respectful guys and banish the vicious guys. Just make sure you ignore no one, even the grey nicks (who don’t have tokens yet) and try to convince them to buy some to spend in your lounge.
As I said above, every guy is different. Some like shy girls, others like naughty girls who are just looking for some fun on their cameras.Try each of these roles to find the one that suits you best. Know that you’ll be more successful if you have a role that suits you and don’t try to be someone you’re not. All of these things can be felt. Specialize in certain practices and fantasies, because your clients will constantly ask you to perform them. You will then become their favorite camgirl and you will notice that they will join you every time you broadcast. Be yourself, but find a role that appeals to the boys in your living room. If you really enjoy yourself, you’ll find that there will be times when you’ll be able to forget that you’re in the middle of a broadcast. This daily appointment will become a pleasure for you, more than a job.
My ultimate advice would be to spy on your competitors, watch how they host their shows and try to be like them without copying them.
How to dress during your shows?
Your clothes, your lingerie, your makeup, your bed… Everything has to be perfect!
Prepare your shows like it’s a date with a guy you like. So tidy up your room, everything needs to be put away, make your bed and get all the personal stuff out of the way of your camera. Don’t lose sight of the fact that you are selling dreams and eroticism, in the eyes of guys you are a first class woman, the girlfriend they dream of. Maintain that image by having a clean room and being dressed like a star.
Prepare yourself before every show, shave (or alternatively let it grow if you want to attract guys excited about hair), do your hair, like you’re going out for a night out.
Just before you broadcast your show, do some test shots, see how far you can get into bed before you’re no longer in the camera, look at the camera to see if there are any technical adjustments to make. Once you’ve done all that, you’re finally ready.
Your dress or shirt will be sexy, I strongly advise against starting your show in your underwear or even worse completely naked. Have several layers of clothing so you can gradually strip off during your show and get the temperature up. You don’t need to have 3 tee shirts and 2 jackets, but you can start with a blouse, plunging neckline and bra.
How-to-host-well
Think of your chat room as your own kingdom. You are free to do what you want and fire people who don’t return to us. Users of the cam site see your chatroom appear on the platform feed and can enter your chatroom when they want to join your show.
You are the queen of your show, you can fire the toxic guys, decide who will be the moderator of your show and change the name of your show. The name of your show is very important to get as many people as possible to join you. Your username too, if you like to strip, make sure you specify that in your show name for example.
You can put whatever you want in your name, you can write your goal of tokens for example with the promise of a sexual reward once you reach the number. You can advertise your show on your private Snapchat or even on your Mym or Onlyfans profile. On Chaturbate you can also schedule automatic messages to warn your community that when the 500 tokens threshold is crossed, you will strip or remove a particular piece of clothing. At 1,000 tokens, you’ll pull out one of your toys, so you get the idea.
You can also program a “tip menu”by defining in advance what users who send you a certain number of tokens will receive. For example 50 tokens for a flash boobs, or 500 tokens for asking you to twerk for 1 minute. I’ve noticed during my camgirl career that models who use these tip targets make a lot more money than those who don’t. So don’t miss out on this opportunity.
Your imagination is your only limit when setting tip goals. Make them fun and engaging as much as possible. For example, I have a girlfriend who programmed a token goal that made her dumb. When a user sends her 1500 tokens, she has to be quiet and not say a word. In general, her community has fun sending her lots of tips to make her toy vibrate. This is something very fun for everyone because she doesn’t have to make a sound while she’s cumming. This example is perfect and it drives guys crazy who are fans of her. Get creative!
To sum it up: Offer fun games to make your viewers want to stay in your show, and more importantly, come back to you regularly. This creates activity on your channel and encourages your community to send you more tips.
Invite your boyfriend or girlfriend during one of your shoots
To draw more attention to your show, you can exceptionally invite a girlfriend or your boyfriend or a sex-friend during your show. This is one of my favorite tricks that I’ve used a lot to increase my channel’s revenue. It has always been a great success for me. Most camming platforms accept women, men, straight and gay couples, trans people etc… In fact, you can invite anyone during your shows.
You’ll notice that with two people, the tips are much bigger and your fans will interact much more in your show than when you’re alone.
Buy yourself toys and a connected sextoy like the Lovense Lush
This is a toy that you can tuck inside your vagina and has Bluetooth capability. This allows your fans to be able to interact with you, even on the other side of the world. This toy is extremely popular with webcam models and I can only encourage you to buy one. You will see that it clearly makes a difference. Understand that some guys have as their main criteria that the model uses a connected Lovense. This allows them to be able to send you tips and see your toy vibrate live, through them. They feel like they are giving you pleasure, as if they are making love to you from a distance.
All my girlfriends have bought one, as soon as you earn your first few bucks,this toy is a must-have believe me. It’s an amazing way to encourage your community to send you more tips. When I bought a connected toy, I noticed my income tripled in no time!
Discover the Lovense Lush 2 and increase your income tenfold as a Camgirl with Interactive Tips
Recognize high-payers and users with a wallet full of tokens!
On Chaturbate for example, you can see which members have tokens or not. The ones with the purple nickname are the ones who have tokens, that means they are ready to spend. If you notice that there are several purple nicknames in your room, but they are not tipping, it is probably because you are not giving them what they want. Feel free to contact them to start a private message discussion and get them excited about sending tips into your room. The nicknames that are colored blue are the ones that bought tokens just a few minutes ago. This information is important, as it will allow you to sort out and give your attention to those who are willing to spend in your lounge.
So on Chaturbate, pay attention to anyone with a purple or blue name. Make sure you reply to them first rather than to grey nicknames (which don’t have tokens yet). When a user sends you a tip, remember to thank them individually by saying their nickname.
If you wish, consider sending them a private message to try to get to know them better. By showing them attention, you’ll warm them up and they’ll want to please you by sending you tips.
The Power of Social Networks for Camgirls
Snapchat
Create a Snapchat account to warm up your audience and attract new customers. This Snapchat account will only be dedicated to your camming activities, do not share your personal account. Once you create one, redirect your fans to it and maintain your new account daily if possible. You can also notify your community when you are online and invite them to join you. You can also share your Snapchat account in your account bio on your cam platform or hang a poster on your wall during your shows with the QR code from your Snap profile. Customers love this social network, first of all because it is free, but because they will feel like they have a special relationship with you through it. In fact, cam platform members love public Snapchats.
Takeaway:Using a Snapchat account as a marketing tool will dramatically increase your number of tipping fans. You’ll be able to “warm up your fans.”
Post photos and videos of your life (being careful not to post anything too private) and talk about your life and routine. Don’t be shy, remember that people follow you for who you are, so you can let loose. Just before each of your shows, give your Snapchat community a heads up by sending them a story.
What you’ll be doing with this account isgiving viewers an easy and free way to get to know you more. By seeing your everyday life, it makes you more ‘human’ in their eyes. A woman more than a sex object and it makes them care about you and your happiness. These words are a bit crude, but know that most of your fans will idealize you. Personally, I sometimes felt that some of my community members didn’t think I was like everyone else. They saw me as the perfect girlfriend, a movie star, a real princess. While I didn’t have a problem with this, I noticed a marked improvement in my interaction with them when I made the decision to create a Snapchat account.
So yes, your Snap account doesn’t generate money for you directly, but it gets members to tip you more when you air your shows( and buy your exclusive content on Mym or Onlyfans.) it’s a powerful and indispensable technique.
But there’s more to maintaining a relationship with your fans than just Snapchat. Social networks in general are very important for webcam models. Ignoring their power is a big mistake and will cause you to miss out on a lot of tips. There’s more to being a camgirl than just turning on your camera, getting your little ass to move and waiting for guys to come to you. As I’ve said a lot of times in this article, you have to take care to create a real community and a loyal following around you. This is what will make you a lot of money in the long run.
Take photos and videos as often as you can. Throughout your days if at all possible. It doesn’t have to be mass produced or all your media professional. Just take a picture of yourself, your qualities and your flaws. This will allow your fans to see how your day is going and thus accentuate that all-important bond you have with them. It’s simple and a lot of fun, believe me. If you do this diligently, you’ll see that the guys who follow you on the networks will give you huge tips when you broadcast on cam platforms.
Twitter is the perfect social network for the adult social media industry. Like Snapchat, I recommend creating a new Twitter account dedicated to your camgirl activities. Follow as many models and guys as possible focusing on models with less than 10,000 followers to start. Know that networking, even in this industry, is very important. Don’t look at other models as competitors, but as partners.
Takeaway: following other models on Twitter will allow you to greatly increase your community due to the possible collaborations you can make with them.
Create a quality profile, with a detailed bio about yourself and make sure you maintain your account every day.The more content, the better. Don’t forget to throw in your lounge link every time you’re about to broadcast.
When other camgirls follow and retweet you, they will expose you to their own community. This can be a big help to you when you’re first starting out, so don’t wait to create a Twitter account.
Snapchat Premium
We’ve already talked about the value of creating a public Snapchat and how to power it. But as I told you, it won’t make you money directly. However, you can use it to promote your Premium Snapchat, a VIP Group, open only to those who pay a monthly or yearly subscription. Even if you don’t want to sell anything on Snapchat, it’s still a method that works and I’m compelled to tell you about it. You will be able to create real relationships with your fans who can send you a lot of money afterwards.
Be careful not to share explicit content on your public Snapchat (because it’s free), however, you can indulge yourself on your premium account. This account will allow your regulars to check out your naughty content, made exclusively for Snapchat.
Sell your Premium account to your fans either on a monthly or yearly subscription basis, or with a one-time payment giving your fan lifetime access to your account. The monthly subscription requires a bit of management as you have to chase your whole community to renew their subscription every month, it’s a bit of a pain in the ass and quite energy consuming.
This is why many fan platforms have sprung up. I would advise you to use the Mmyfans network. Most models use these services as it is a huge time saver.
We discuss this below.
Snapchat Premium subscriptions typically start at £10 per month for new models and up to £50 for porn stars. Just do the math if you have a hundred subscribers on your account. You can make a very good salary, just by posting regular stories on your Snapchat account. Beware: if one of your community members reports you, Snapchat could ban your account. That’s why I advise you to join a fan platform instead.
Get a Mymfans account to earn even more money
In addition to your Snapchat Premium account, you can also create a Mymfans account. This is a social network, very similar to Instagram but for sex workers. This platform tolerates adult content, which is a great alternative for camgirls or porn actresses. In fact, it was originally designed for that.
Your fans will have the choice to sign up for a monthly or yearly subscription depending on the price you set beforehand. Then, you can post content, photos, videos to push your community to subscribe to your account. Mymfans also allows your fans to communicate with you for a fee. For example, they can request private media from you, that is, photos or videos just for them.
This is another alternative for bonding with your fans, so they see you more as their mistress rather than a standard model. This works equally well on Fancentro or Onlyfans. The special thing about Mymfans is that it’s a French platform and the app is extremely easy to use.
Collaborate-with-other-mod-cams
You can contact them on Twitter, Instagram or even private message them on cam platforms. Anyway, try to arrange collaborations with some models. The principle is simple: you share a model’s profile on your Twitter or Instagram account and in exchange, the model will do the same for you. It’s a great way to start getting known in this industry. Nowadays, I live in the US and I attend every year adult model events like Comic-Con, AVN Expo or even Exxxotica which are the best ones in my eyes. These events attract model cams from all over the world.
This will be very helpful in advancing your career because these conventions not only give you the opportunity to meet your fans in real life, but it gives you the opportunity tomeet other modelsand thus make a significant network in this industry. Nothing better than talking to big names in this industry, make friends, they can become your next business partners in the months/years to come. Don’t neglect this important aspect of your business.
If you manage to get a show with a big name camgirl, it will make your career take off instantly. If a camgirl introduces you to her community, her followers will want to come back to see you during your shows when you’re streaming alone.
Use the power of porn sites
I would be selfish if I didn’t share this method with you. I’m going to teach you how to “pump” Pornhub’s success to get a large number of qualified fans for your liveshows. When I started my camgirl career, cam sites weren’t as democratized as they are today. Many people simply didn’t know about Chaturbate or LiveJasmin. To grow quickly, I had the idea of using the already existing audience of porn sites for my sex shows. The principle is simple: I shared short videos of my shows on Pornhub, Xvideos, Xhamster etc… to expand my reach and attract new fans. Upload content to these sites for free and be visible to millions of French people. Moreover, you can also get paid by these platforms according to your number of views, a bit like the Youtube system.
You can very easily reach a million views on Pornhub and your video can quickly go viral. If this is the case, you will see new users landing on your show every day. Know that porn sites are among the most visited sites in the world, before Amazon, Cdiscount or Netflix.
Pro-Tip: Add your Snapchat Premium QR code to your videos (as a watermark) to get tons of viewers to follow you on social media. Once done, you can entice those new users to join you on Chaturbate or LiveJasmin.
Smile and be nice
This may sound a bit cliché to you or just plain logical, but I’ve coached girls who were cold as a prison door during their programs. This attitude doesn’t make your viewers want to send you tips at all. Smile and look happy, you won’t get many tips if you don’t look like you are enjoying the experience. When a user joins your show, you need to create an immediate positive connection that will be maintained throughout your show.
Choose the perfect nickname for your shows
You need to get your head around choosing your nickname, because you can’t afford to change it every fourth morning. Once you’ve chosen a name, don’t change it anymore. Because that’s the name your customers and audience will know to find you on the platform. You may be stuck for a long time in choosing your name, but that’s not a problem. Tell yourself that this is one of the most important steps to your success. Your name will be an important link between you and your fans. You want it to be unique and easy to remember. Be aware that your name could attract new viewers who might not have clicked on your show if your name was “lolita69” for example.
Get a broadcast schedule and be assiduous
Before you start broadcasting your first show, take time to create a broadcast schedule for yourself. Determine how long you want to air each week, your favorite days and the best times for your shows. This schedule will need to be adhered to as this is what will keep your fans coming back to see you every time. For example, you could post the following times:
- Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from 10pm to 2am
Communication between you and your audience is the key to success. Your community needs to know when they can see you online to make sure they are present for every broadcast.
When you’ve set your broadcast schedule, you must stick to it and host your shows under no circumstances. Of course, if you’re sick or not in the mood that can happen, but there’s no way to just have “the laziness of stream“
Develop your audience and community
Chaturbate highlights models on its front page whenever a show reaches the 500 cumulative viewer threshold. Once featured, you will see the number of users grow exponentially. To get to this point, you’ll have to work hard, but it’s worth it believe me. You can start by using social media to build your fanbase and interact with your audience to get them to join you all the time. The more you interact with your viewers, the more potential customers you will attract
Be original, creative and unique to succeed in your career
To stand out from the crowd of models, it’s important to have something special, something unique that sets you apart from the rest. To make a lot of money, you have to be creative. People will not stay on your show if you are not fully available to them. How many camgirls turn on their camera and then are on their phones all the time chatting with their friends on WhatsApp without paying attention to the show and then complain that they aren’t making any money… Make your shows as exciting, unique and accessible as possible. Remember that a nice smile and a cheerful tone will bring you more tips. The guys who join you have mostly had a hard day at work and come to you to relax. If they come to your salon and you’re pulling a face, they’ll look elsewhere. It’s understandable, but it’s important to understand that. Don’t forget that a nice makeup and outfit also makes a difference.
How to start your Camgirl career on a small budget (starter pack)
If you want to start your cam model career but are worried about not having the equipment or funding to work with, don’t worry. In fact, becoming a camgirl is a lot easier than you think and you don’t need to have a big starting cash flow.
If you’re reading this article on your laptop, you probably have enough hardware to start broadcasting. However, as soon as you start earning your first few bucks, I would advise you to invest in high quality equipment to deliver ever higher quality shows to your community. As soon as you start earning money, you should invest in:
- High quality internet connection
- Professional lighting
- Camera
- Microphone
Sextoys
Sexual clothing and lingerie
You can also buy role-playing costumes, cosplay, wigs, masks, makeup, oil and more!
Important: If you can’t afford a high quality vibrator yet, don’t buy anything rather than getting a crappy toy. Tell yourself that you will use it almost every day, for hours on end. You want to work with a cheap product and not a poor quality one. I suggest you try the Lovense Lush 2, the sextoy for Camgirls.
When you’ve chosen your nickname, the platform you want to broadcast on and your account is validated, it’s time to check out your gear or invest in better technology. However, it’s best to start the adventure as soon as possible and not let your perfectionist side get the better of you. Start broadcasting, even with poor quality equipment, and then invest your first few dollars in a better camera, computer and lighting. Don’t let hesitation get in the way and prevent you from moving forward.
So here’s everything you need to start filming your shows:
A good webcam
In this day and age, laptops usually come with built-in webcams. The problem is that the quality is often very poor. I strongly advise you to spend some money on a good webcam before you start. Be aware that a basic camera only costs between 20 and 50 euros, it will do very well and will be much better than the one built into your computer. You can also find used ones on Leboncoin or Facebook Marketplace. Once you get your first earnings, the webcam is the first thing you need to upgrade. Better video quality will get you more views, and more views means more money. However, I confess that I also started with my laptop webcam. I remember a lot of viewers complaining about the quality, which is why I decided to change it quickly.
While you can start with your laptop camera, be aware that the competition is strong and you won’t get far with low quality equipment. Clients want to have an exceptional experience and will not send you tips if they are disappointed with the quality of your show. At the beginning of your career, almost all of your earnings should be re-invested to allow you to put on quality shows.

Lighting is often overlooked by novice webcam models because they don’t realize how important good lighting is. Put yourself in your clients’ shoes, would you rather see a model in a properly lit environment or in a dark, pitch black room?
Good lighting allows you to improve the quality of your broadcasts and allows your webcam to produce better videos. Before you buy your first lamp, you can use a bedside lamp near your camera pointed directly at you. Just place a few desk lamps in front of you to create a diffused, natural light. If you can use daylight, that’s great. However, this is not the day that users are most present on the platforms. If you’re on a tight budget, I’d advise you to buy a table lamp or a ring light which will do the job just fine.
A quality laptop
The laptop is the least useful of my selection. As long as you have a decent internet connection, the computer is just a plus to enhance your work environment. You can start broadcasting with any laptop, even the one you are reading this article with. After a few months of shooting, you can invest in a better quality computer to improve your shooting experience. Features to consider when buying a new PC for stream are: processor, RAM and graphics card.
A beautiful and sexy lingerie
Sexy lingerie and clothing is extremely important. Tell yourself that it is an essential investment and you can use them even in your everyday life. I encourage you to start with your regular lingerie because users don’t expect to see the models in fancy lingerie, most of us started out that way. Some girls even continue this somewhat “amateur” look throughout their camgirl career. However, once you’ve built a strong community around you, it’s always nice to invest in sexy costumes and lingerie to please your fans. Plus, if you’re not used to wearing this kind of clothing you can take it as a game. Imagine your next boyfriend’s face when he finds out about your sexy lingerie collection…
Sextoys
As with lingerie, you don’t necessarily need toys to start. However, I highly recommend it. Many clients clamor to see you play with sex toys during private shows. Plus, by using a connected sextoy like the Lovense Lush for example, users can send you tips to get your toy vibrating. In fact, having a vibrator allows you to get more tips than if you don’t use one.
To conclude this paragraph, don’t be intimidated when you see competitors perfectly set up, with premium lingerie and studio lighting. Remember that they all started out like you did, and were able to invest in better equipment as time went on.
They’re not the only ones.
How-to-get-more-viewers-during-your-shows
All new camgirls suffer from what I call “first day sickness“, which means they have trouble attracting users to them. At least, it’s hard for the majority of them because they don’t know how to do it right. That’s just what we’re going to look at here.
When you just signed up for a cam platform, know that no one knows you. You have no community yet, no brand, no personal history, nothing. You are an unknown to users. So your future customers aren’t sure what you’re worth and if it’s worth it to stay in your living room.
To change this, you need to follow my advice. If you do things right, you will be sure to be able to attract viewers to you. When viewers come into your living room to see what you are doing, you must show your best. If a viewer walks into your show out of curiosity and sees you sitting on your bed, on your laptop, looking bored and absolutely nothing is happening. He’s going to go straight to another show that’s more dynamic. And if everyone who comes into your show is doing the same thing, you’ll never get much money and it will be hard to build a real community around you.
Don’t be that unattractive girl, who just sits there and waits for things to happen. Put yourself in the shoes of your future customers, would you rather give your money to a dynamic woman with a big smile on her face or to a non-chalant one, who sees all her potential tips go up in smoke and doesn’t pay attention to what’s happening on the screen?
To attract the curiosity of newcomers, show some skin. I’m not encouraging you to get directly naked, but guys on cam platforms want to see sexy things, so show some cleavage, legs, or show off your butt in a thong. If you have nice boobs, make sure your camera is pointed at them. If you’re pretty proud of your ass, put it on display.
Be provocative, sexy, but also interesting and courteous when you’re on the air. Look like you’re there for the fun of it and smile like you just got some good news!
You really need to make sure you reject positive emotion through the screen, smiling sends a signal that you are into your thing and enjoy what you are doing. When a customer sees you smiling, you’re much more likely to win them over than if you look annoyed. Nothing is more distracting to a client than seeing a frowning or bored camgirl.
The best tip I can give you for growing your audience is to talk about interesting things. Did you have a great weekend with your friends? Well, tell your customers about it. Did one of your friends tell you a funny story the other night? Tell your community, girl! Viewers love to get up close and personal with you and feel like they are having a real relationship with their favorite model. The longer they stay on your show, the more likely they are to send you tips.
Broadcast at the right times and schedule your shows
Be aware that cam site users have their preferences and habits. Most like to watch sex shows at the same times, they are set according to their professional and/or personal lives. Guys are ritualistic creatures, so you’ll notice that your regulars will probably always log on at the same times. Some people prefer to indulge in the evening after dinner, while others like to watch shows in the morning before going to work and others in the middle of the night during insomnia. If you don’t broadcast at the same times of the day all the time, you won’t be able to create a real community that follows you over and over again, and that’s a big problem.
Make sure you broadcast when your fans are available. You’ll learn all this through practice and by analyzing your numbers. Make it easy for you to find yourself. For example, on xHamsterLive users can “save a pattern” i.e. like a profile to find it more easily on the site. You can ask your regulars to do this so they can find you more easily when they want to have a good time with you.
Not setting up a release schedule is a big mistake. All good camgirls know this, it’s the regulars who will live you. When you air your shows at the same time, on the same days, your fans will come to see you regularly. Plus, most cam platforms reward hardworking models by featuring them on the platform. You will notice that after a while, your fans will love you so much that they will start giving you huge tips and pay a lot for private shows. So, believe me, yes, creating a schedule is essential and necessary to break through on the platforms. This is one of the best tips I can give you to help you make a living from your shows.
How to get big tips
If you’ve taken the time to spend some time on cam platforms and analyze the competition, you’ve probably noticed that some models are getting huge tips. As of November 2021, it’s the model Cowboybuff who has the record for most tips in one sitting. In fact, one of her fans sent her a cool $18,000 or 359,000 Tokens in one go. That’s the record for tips to date. This guy here is not an exception, every day a lot of models get thousands of euros in one go as a tip. These people are called “regulars“, they regularly show up at your shows and have a good relationship with their favorite model. You’ll understand that if you ever want to get that kind of tip, you need to spend time talking to your fans, your regulars and have an almost loving relationship with them. If you want big tips, and I know you do, be sure to read this entire article and apply the techniques I’m sharing.
Use private messaging to chat with your fans
When you have a new viewer join your show, feel free to send them a quick message to welcome them.
This can be a message like “Hello, welcome to my living room baby :)” or “Hi, are you okay tonight?”
Your future client is bound to respond to you, and it’s up to you to warm them up so they send you tips or ask for you in a private show. Public chat is far from ideal for maintaining a relationship with someone. Guys are afraid to chat with a model in public for fear of being judged and mocked by others. Most are not very comfortable talking to you in public. In the end, it’s like everywhere else. At a party or in a club, guys prefer to isolate themselves with a woman to seduce her. The pressure of the group is too intense for them to pick up someone they like. Be aware that some guys like to talk a lot before sending tips, be patient because this could lead to huge tips! I’m telling you this from experience. Private messages will allow you to connect with your show members in an important way that is intimate and personal, which is not possible in a public chat.
Be careful not to waste your time on people who aren’t worth it. In any case, you will quickly notice as you go along the big talkers from those who actually tips. Make sure you chat with guys who have tokens in their wallets or guys who you are sure are willing to pay for you. On chaturbate and xHamster for example you can see which members have tokens based on the color of their nickname. Blue or purple means the person has tokens and is willing to spend. If it’s black or grey, it means they are not buying and have no tokens in their pocket.
How-to-earn-more-than-15,000-per-month-by-being-camgirl
We’re getting to the most important point, certainly the one that interests you the most. Because every woman starting out in her Camgirl career wants to achieve this level of success. So how do you become a super star cam model? Everyone has heard about her camgirls who got 20,000, 100,000 or even 200,000 tokens in one go. And I know you want to be that girl, we all want to have that kind of success.
I’m in a good position to give you my advice, in 2016, my profile was in the Top 10 of the site Chaturbate. That is, I was among the highest earning camgirls on the platform. I even received a message from the site manager to congratulate me! To earn so much money, you have to attract the “whales“. What are “whales”? They are the highest spending users on the platform. These are guys who are able to send you thousands of euros a month in chips and spend a huge amount of money just for you. If you want to become a camgirl of this ilk, there are certain tricks to apply and things to know. It’s all about broadcasting when they are online.
How to be a “Top Cam Girl”
Whales love supermodels. They love them because they are the best of the best. Supermodels have huge audiences in their living rooms and that’s what allows these whales to expose themselves to the world while pleasing you. Hey yes, whales like to show off and that’s something important to consider. If you’re not on your platform, don’t expect a rich businessman to show up and send you several French salaries in the same evening. For whales, there’s no better place to show off than on the show of a model they like and who is popular.
To find these whales, you have to hang out with other camgirls, hang out with women who have been successful in this field to take what you have to take. It’s not about “poaching” other people’s tips, but getting buddy-buddy with other models can help you become very popular and steal their audience.
What I’ve done to achieve this goal is to get on popular camgirl shows (even overseas) and participate in the chat. I joke around, send picks and jokes and mingle with others, you know? I never target a particular member or model but just have fun chatting with others. It’s easy, fun and you’ll be very surprised how well it can work. Quite often, this is how I would start to bond with another model and usually it results in a collaboration.
The ultimate advice for success as a webcam girl
The most important thing you need to know when starting your career is to remove the word “quit” from your vocabulary. How many women I’ve started coaching have decided to give up after a few weeks of doing business… Upon realizing the reality of the field.
… And the worst part is that they didn’t take ownership of their choices …
I’m sorry I have too many personal problems right now and I can’t take on my shoots […] I’m sick today, and then tomorrow too, and all week in fact […] My webcam broke down etc
Bref, I’ve seen this kind of chick in spades. Today, I know how to spot them and I refuse to reach out and help them. I never hid from you that becoming a successful camgirl was time consuming, that it took several months of work to get there. But when you get there, it’s the grail. Most webcam models have a hard time getting started because they don’t have a strong community yet, which can be discouraging for many girls. You start broadcasting your show, you don’t get tips within a minute so you get discouraged and feel like you are wasting your time. We all went through this sentence when we started the camgirl business, it sucks, butyou always have to stay motivated.
Trust me … If you keep hosting your shows regularly and happily, you’ll get through that tough first few weeks phase with flying colors and earn a big, motivating paycheck down the road. It worked for me, it worked for others and it will work for you. There is no reason to fail if you are truly motivated. Stay focused and show a mind of steel. Very good things are waiting for you on the other side, trust me!
What-payment-means-choose-when-you-are-a-model-cam?
A lot of French banks are reluctant to work with Camgirls. You know, France is not very fond of the porn industry and they do everything to prevent women from working in this industry. You have to choose alternatives. I present you some of them below, all of them have been tested by myself and I guarantee you that I have always been paid on time, without extravagant commissions:
Paxum
Transaction fee: 0.50%
Paxum is an e-wallet that you can use to receive your earnings as a camgirl. It is the most popular solution for models who do not live in the US. All you have to do is create an account, provide all the necessary identification documents, apply for a debit card that you can use anywhere in the world. Possibility also to transfer your Paxum account balance to a French bank account.
.
Cosmo Pay
Transaction fee: $1.00
Cosmopay is an alternative payment system primarily for UK residents. Like Paxum, you can order a prepaid card that can be used at any cash machine. Cosmo is present in over 150 countries and currently has over 80,00 users.
Epay Service
The user interface is nice and intuitive, it’s a very easy bank to use. There are no fees for wire transfers from the US, which is the perfect alternative for all US resident models.
Skrill
Skrill is a famous digital wallet available in many countries. The fees are high, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this platform.
Bitcoin
If you have a Bitcoin wallet on Coinbase, Kraken or any other platform you just need to enter the address of your Chaturbate account and the funds will be deposited there. It’s a bit more complicated to set up than the other solutions I’ve provided in this article, but it’s ideal for anyone who believes in the potential of Bitcoin.
Bank Transfer
Wire transfer is a very good choice, it is the option I personally use. I prefer to receive the money in my main bank account rather than anywhere else. Please note: the processing fee is $45, which is very excessive. This option pays off when you start generating big numbers on the cam platform.
