Thinking about becoming a cam model? Or new to the industry? Want to make decent money, build a loyal customer base, and stay safe online?
\nThen make sure you avoid these 7 mistakes so many other cam girls make.<\/p>\n
There are hundreds of adult camming sites to choose from these days, including LiveJasmin, Chaturbate, and Xpanded. But not all are created equal.
\nSome provide you with no support, no customer traffic, and limited live streaming features \u2013 but still take a big chunk of your earnings.
\nSo, to avoid making the wrong choice, register with Chatrecruit. We can get you on some of the fairest, safest cam sites around. All provide 24\/7 support, competitive payout rates, and secure payments.<\/p>\n
Social media (particularly Twitter) is one of the most powerful marketing tools for any cam girl \u2013 particularly if you\u2019re new to the industry. It\u2019s essential if you want to get noticed, build a loyal fanbase, and drive regular traffic to your cam business.
\nBut a lot of cam girls make the mistake of not using social media at all \u2013 or not using it enough and in the right ways.
\nTo get the most out of Twitter, you should create an account dedicated to your adult work. And post regularly, using hashtags (but no more than 2 per post).
\nYou should obviously post when you\u2019ll be going live on cam, with a direct link to your cam site. But you can also post cheeky selfies or whatever else will get people following or engaging with you.

Some cam sites allow you to pick your per-minute cam chat rates.
\nGranted, it\u2019s important not to undersell yourself and set your rates too low.
\nBut setting your rates too high (particularly when you\u2019re just starting out) might put customers off connecting with you. And when business is slow, it can be difficult to stay motivated and achieve your camming goals.
\nSo do some research into what other cam models with similar levels of experience are charging. And keep your rates competitive.<\/p>\n
One of the great things about cam work is that it\u2019s flexible. You can work hours that suit you from the comfort of your own home.
\nBut if you want to gain regular customers and build a decent, reliable income, it\u2019s important to cam regularly.
\nAim for at least 20 hours per week. And try to log on at the same times of day, so customers know when to expect you.<\/p>\n
Most models are excited \u2013 but also nervous \u2013 the first few times they perform on cam. This anxiety is normal and will disappear with experience. But if not properly managed, it can cause you to rush your performance.<\/p>\n
And rushing is bad for two reasons.
\nFirstly, it gives your customer less time to really enjoy what\u2019s happening. And secondly, it means you make less money, because on most cam sites you\u2019re paid by the minute.
\nSo if you\u2019re feeling nervous at the start of a cam show, slow down and take a deep breath. Don\u2019t just dive straight into your performance. Instead, welcome the customer and ask if they have any particular requests.<\/p>\n
All reputable cam sites will have rules in place to keep you and your customers safe.
\nYou\u2019d be surprised how many models jump on cam without familiarising themselves with these rules though.
\nIf they\u2019re lucky, rule breakers escape with a telling off or written warning. But in severe cases, they can get booted off the cam site for good, putting an end to their cam modelling dreams.
\nSo whatever cam site you join, make sure you read the rules \u2013 and stick to them.<\/p>\n
Many women start a cam business because, while the earning potential is high, the start-up costs are low.
\nBut there is one item every new cam girl should invest in: a decent HD webcam.
\nYou want a webcam that\u2019s going to produce high-quality streams, so customers can feel like they\u2019re right there in the room with you. Because it\u2019s that level of connection that\u2019s going to keep them coming back for more.
