The Camgirl Guide - Do You Have What it Takes to Be a Webcam Performer?

How to Make Money on the Internet by Taking Your Clothes Off on Webcam - Part 1

It's simple, right? Just buy a webcam and charge people to watch you take your clothes off! Yes, it can be that simple, but most of the time, a successful cam girl is much more than a virtual stripper. In reality, a cam girl is often expected to be this always happy and cheerful girl-next-door who treats every guy as if he was her favourite, but also be a professional who knows what she's doing, has some business sense and customer service skills, not to mention the patience of a saint.

DEALING WITH ANNOYING AND ABUSIVE CLIENTS

What most aspiring cam models don't realize is that "camming" is a customer service job like any other. While you decide when you do it, how you do it and who you do it with, good customer service is crucial for your business. But no matter how well you treat your viewers and depending on who you advertise and where you advertise you WILL get a couple of rude clients a week.

You have to learn how to not let it get into your head and remember it's nothing personal, these people have to make other people feel bad in order to feel good about themselves. They will pick that little thing you feel the most self-conscious about and use that to try and kick your self-esteem to the curb. That's why god gave us the block button. Just remember, there are always two nice guys for every nasty one!

FAMILY AND FRIENDS FINDING OUT

Other important thing to consider is what happens when your friends/family/co-workers find out what you do. Yes, it is more likely to be "when they find out" than "if they find out". In most cases the clients come from the same country you live in, and you will be advertising on the same internet your loved ones surf every day. Almost every household has an internet connection these days, and you can bet someone you know surfs for porn. It might be your dad, your brother, your brother's friend, that guy from work or someone you went to school with.

There are things you can do to minimize the possibility of someone finding out, such as block your country/state/zip code from accessing your website or your profile, or not showing your face in any of the pictures in your profiles.

If you think there is a big chance that someone will find out anyway, one option is to tell them yourself. It is not nearly as scary as it sounds, and as an adult, you have the right do make your own decisions. Plus it won't sound as bad when it's coming from you as it would sound when someone else tells your family, "by the way, I saw your daughter naked on the internet, I didn't know she was a porn star!", or sticks your images on your dad's car window (has happened before).

If you don't know if you are ready for an adult webcam career is to ask yourself a question: "Would I be embarrassed if someone found out what I do?" If you answered yes, you should take some time to think if you really are mentally ready and comfortable with what you're doing. After all, once you upload your first explicit image or do your first camshow, your images will be on the internet forever.
