Webcam Model

Be true to yourself

I am assuming that before you came to this site, you already knew that webcam modeling requires you to be nude and sometimes sexually explicit in front of strangers, although never in person. True, some customers may not be after a sexual experience, and just want someone to talk to, but that is a very small minority. With that being said, the first question you need to ask yourself is whether or not you're comfortable doing what I just described, both mentally and physically? If your answer is, "no", then webcam modeling is definitely not for you! If you don't enjoy what you are doing, the truth will eventually come out, and you will never be successful!

Self confidence

Many people trying to get into webcam modeling are worried that they are not good enough, whether it's being overweight, out of shape, too old, or not measuring up in one way or another. Well, guess what, for every type of person, whether you are younger, older, skinny, plus size, gay, straight, male or female, there are going to be people who will pay you to model for them (the modeling agencies know this which is why they usually hire all types of models). Think about it, if every person only liked one type of look, then this would be one boring world full of robots who look and act the same. Come to think of it, the most successful webcam models I have met were actually not your stereotypical "model" types, but they were confident about who they were, and weren't afraid to flaunt it! Love yourself and your body, no matter what you look like, and that self confident attitude will come across to your customers, making them worship you!

Personality

You can look amazing, but if you don't have the right personality to match, it's all in vain. As a matter of fact, I found that for webcam models personality matters much more than looks. If there is only one piece of advice I could give you, it would be, don't take yourself too seriously! Have fun! Remember, people who want to chat with webcam models want an escape. They want to get away from their daily grind, and talk to someone who is fun, and uninhibited. If they ask you something crazy, don't take it personal, laugh about it instead. If they feel that you are easy to talk to, and don't have any hangups, they will stay longer and keep coming back. There are many different roles you can play, depending on what you are most comfortable with. You can be the dominate type who is slightly insulting, act shy, or play hard to get, but no matter what role you choose, play it well and be consistent!

Outfits

Outfits are very important to a webcam model's personal presentation. Chatters want to see you wearing different things all the time because it makes your room exciting and it gives you something to talk about. Some great outfits are probably already in your wardrobe. Think about what you would wear around the house to relax in. A simple outfit that your boyfriend would like is something chatters would like. It makes the experience in your chat more realistic. Some examples are cotton shorts and a tank top, panties and knee high socks with a tank top or even something like a baggy t-shirt and panties that you can pull and play with in free. If your chatters say your outfit is too much then you can tease them by pulling it tight across your body or showing a little skin. It's nice to leave a little to the imagination.

Costumes

Having costumes are much like having outfits to try on in your room. You want to have fun while you work because then your chatters are having fun. Some very popular costumes include: school girl, nurse, good cop or bad cop, French maid, and sexy soldier.

Toys and props

Toys and props are a very big part of a good private chat with a cam model. Having variety in size and shape is good but you also want toys that are for different purposes. A sexy scarf can be used for bondage or as a blindfold. So remember to be versatile and creative with props and toys. Don't ever use something as a toy if it's not supposed to be used that way because it can be harmful and painful. Never put a chatter's wants before yourself and your personal safety as a cam model.

Condoms

Certain materials like rubber toys are porous, so don't be afraid to use a condom with them during your shows (you don't need condoms for toys made out glass though). Chatters like to see a webcam model who uses condoms, it's realistic and fun.

Work area and personal presentation

In order to have a productive shift you need to have prepared. Keeping your toys nearby and music in the background is a great start. It's a good idea to keep the music either sexual or likable. It's a good idea to have a shuffle list so there are different types of music playing. Other ways to set the mood is with candles and soft lighting.

Lighting

Many cam models make the mistake of bad lighting in their work areas. Keep in mind where your lights are relative to your camera. If a bright light is behind you chatters may not be able to see your face. Soft, warm lighting is best. Keeping a lamp behind the camera helps the chatter see your face and highlight your attributes. Another thing to keep in mind is how bright a light is on your ceiling as well. If you don't have a lamp just make sure your light isn't looking directly into your cam.

You can change your room by putting different filters in your lights. Recessed lighting is really easy because you can just tape something over the light and it won't catch on fire. Please keep this in mind and don't put a sheet over a lamp. It will catch on fire and cause serious chaos in your chat. This may or may not have adverse effects on the mood of the chat room. Regardless, practice fire safety and try using different colored light bulbs instead of covering a lamp.

Type of computer

There is no single brand of computer I would recommend, as I have used a few different ones. All you really need is a computer with a lot of memory, and preferably a fast processor. A computer with only 512 MB is not going to be enough. You want something with 4 GB of ram. If you aren't sure what that means you can look online and the description of any computer you buy from the internet will have this listed in the description. It might help to ask a specialist in your local computer store.

Words A Webcam Model Should Never Use

Bad words are words that turn customers off and drive them away. The way you talk or word your chat messages can make or break your effectiveness as a webcam model. Here are some words which you should avoid using while working.

Time. No need to say time. Chat monitors make everyone aware of it, so there is no need to bring it up. When you catch yourself about to type a bad word, stop, and type something else. Be creative, as there are more than one way to convey the same message.

Buy. No need to use the word, buy. The trick is to not bring up the thought of spending money. Instead, you should manipulate their need to feel good or get off, but not to open up their wallet.

Along with bad words often goes the pressure from you to make them buy. Imagine this scenario, a person goes into a strip club, and before he can look around and get a feel for the club, an anxious dancer comes up to him and grabs his hand and starts dragging him to the lap dance couches. What does he do? He says no! He wants to see the place, get comfortable, and check out all the dancers first, not go with the first girl who is being pushy. Having a webcam job is very similar, except instead of grabbing his hand, you would shout "BUY"!

Answering your customers with instant demands for them to buy a private show is usually the kiss of death to selling paid chats. No one likes a pushy webcam model, and very few customers spend money on pushy models. Just because you have demanders and beggars in your chat room doesn't mean you should answer with begging and demanding. If there was ever a case of two wrongs don't make a right, this is it! Be better than your customers in your attitude, and don't stoop to their levels or methods. They will respect you for it, and reward you wil buying your private shows.

Webcam Model Tips For Making A Sale

The majority of comments made by a webcam model in the open room should be directed towards the room as a group, while some should be focused on individual attention. One of the best ways to control customers is to not give anyone in free chat too much individual attention. Comments to the group as a whole should have a very subtle message, "If you want my individual attention, buy a private show to get it". Yes, you will have to chat a little to get everyone in the room going, but the less chat directed at any individual person, the better! Acknowledging every new guest when they first enter your chat room is also very important, and it will make them hang around for more. Remember, even if a new guest's first comment is something like, "Show me your tits", you can let him know you see him with a simple, tolerating reply like "Hey, are you gonna say hi to me first (insert theit chat nickname)?". Now they know you saw them, and you have a positive and open minded attitude by not being offended at their remark. After that, just continue talking to the group, and of course pay no more attention to that person unless he earns it.

Use as much humor as possible in your replies, and try to have a positive attitude with everyone. Talk to the group as a whole, and try to give any single guest more time than others. The main role that you play as a webcam model should be that first and foremost, you are there to have fun and meet people, not just to have a webcam job. You should project the impression that you are just naturally horny, and do webcam modeling mostly for fun. It is very important that your guests and customers believe this, as the more they do, the more money you will make. Below are suggestions for comments you should be making in free chat. These are just some good examples to get you started, but as you get more experience, you will come up with many more good ones that are your own. If you feel you have struck a nerve with a guest with one of your comments, continue with it, and let them join in on your fantasy until they can't resist any longer and want to take you to private chat.

Dialogue suggestions which have been great openers to turn free chat guests into paying customers:

I am soooo horny right now, I could cum in 2 minutes! All I need is someone to fuck me!

I have been dreaming about sex all night long, and I am soooo horny right now!

I'm going crazy, all I want to do is cum!

I haven't cum once today. Who wants to give me my first orgasm?

Who wants to fuck me?

It turns me on soooo much knowing all you guys are horny and want to fuck me!

My pussy is soooo hot and tight, it feels soooo good to fuck!

I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I need a rebound guy to really fuck me hard!

I haven't cum in like 5 days. I'm going crazy!!!

I'm such a slut, all I do is fuck fuck fuck!

I've been such a bad girl today, all I can think about is getting naked.

Obviously, these are just some examples, you should improvise, and use your imagination! As you get good, you will become quick and witty with a right comeback for almost any situation. Remember, you are the star of the show, and are giving a performance. Try to make it as exciting, playful and sexy as you can in your own way and on your terms! As long as you appear relaxed, easy going and open minded, you will never have a shortage of paying customers!

High Paying Webcam Job Or Free Chat

Free chat lifers are customers who fall in love with a webcam model, and spend every moment in her/his free chat room, but they will not pay for a private show. So, how do you handle a free chat lifer? Always acknowledge them, but do not give too much attention. Give just enough attention to keep them interested and coming back for more. Most will eventually want to satisfy their craving for your undivided attention, and end up buying a private show.

Time works great for Free chat lifers, as they tend to be slow to decide on signing up on the site. One reason may be fears about credit card security on the web, another may be a limited budget, or they may just not believe webcam modeling is the real thing. Don't let this stop you from getting them to take you private.

Here are a few ways to get these customers to buy a private show:

Think, "flirt, and divert". First, flirt a little, and then start working the chat room. This is a real balancing act because if you don't give them something, they'll move on, yet the more attention you give them, the happier they are not buying a private show.

After giving them some special attention to bolster their egos, try this little trick. "(Customer Name), want to play a game with me?" (They will always say yes) "Okay (Customer Name), I'm going to put you on a "chat time out" until you sign up and take me private." Make sure they see you giggling or use a smiley face when using this technique. Humor and flirtiness are critical components to this technique.

Tell them how sweet they are, and you understand how difficult it is to sign up and buy a show. Ask them to help you out by getting others to take you private so that you can stay in the room. Even free chat lifers can't resist a beautiful webcam model in distress, so they'll jump at the chance until they realize there is nothing in it for them.

Work one Free chat lifer against another, jealousy works wonders.

Webcam Modeling For Paying Customers

How do you know if a customer has an account? Are most customers who purchase private shows talking in free chat, or are they lurking on the sidelines? How do you identify someone who will sign up and spend money with a webcam model? Are there countries that can't get accounts because of high credit card fraud? What age is the average customer? How do you know whom to target? With the system not having a way for models to see who's a paying member and who isn't, it's hard to know who to concentrate on, and who to ignore. We will attempt to shed some light on where the buyers are and how to bring them in to paid chat with you.

Our statistics show that only about 15% of the customers actually buy paid shows. This means two things, first and most obvious, 85% of customers do not buy. And second, it also means the majority of buyers don't ever talk in free chat! This is exactly why it's very important for webcam models to respond to all their customers. Not only do you need to impress the chatters, but also those who lurk in your free chat by staying quiet and not chatting. Part of succeeding in a webcam job is to be able to entertain lurkers, who statistically end up being the biggest spenders, and most frequent buyers of private shows!

Post a big sign near your monitor that says "I NEED TO IMPRESS THE NON CHATTERS". This will remind you that most buyers DO NOT chat in free chat, they simply sit back and watch how you act while they browse the rooms, until they find a model who they feel is someone from whom they want to buy a private show.

Let's look at the average buyer, or someone who already has an account. First of all, why is he or she using the Internet for sex and/or companionship? Well, they could have given up long ago trying to meet someone as gorgeous as you. Maybe, they were shunned in school, or in clubs and bars. Perhaps, they have prudish wives or girlfriends, and they long for hot sex and intimate conversation. They may like webcam models because they don't have to compete with others for their attention. When they find a cam model they like, they take her, no hassles, no questions, no worrying about how they may look to the model.

Normal preliminaries of courtship are done away with, and they can get right to whatever they want, whether it's sex or conversation or both. They go from one model's room to the next looking for just the right type of model, someone they are attracted to physically, but also with the right personality and demeanor. They watch and listen until they know this model is "the one"! At that moment, they are not going to compete in free chat for the model's attention, because they have already decided to buy a private show. They hate trying to keep getting the model's attention in free chat, playing the knight in shining armor, and rescuing the model from the all the other hounds. These are the questions playing in their minds as they take you private: Is she as sexy on the inside as she is on the outside? Is she tired of all the creeps and crazy customers? Is she single? Do I have any chance or hope of ever meeting her? Does she seem like the type of girl who will do or let me do what I want, and not just waste my money? I hate wasting my money, some of these webcam models think we're stupid and that we don't know they're milking us. If she does that, I'll leave the private show right away, and never come back or find someone else. Hmmm, she just treated that customer very rudely who asked to see her ass. We're going to find a cam model that is friendlier and more open minded.

And off they go, never saying a word in free chat, taking their money with them. What a shame! If only you didn't put on a mean look, and got upset with that guy who asked to see your ass, you might be in a paid private show right now instead of sucking wind. This scenario cannot be repeated too often if you want to succeed as a webcam model! You are first and foremost a performer, and you must try to give the best performance you can at all times. Stay focused, and try to put your ego and pride aside while you are working!

Now, let's talk about how to spot customers who are likely to purchase private shows.

Talk to someone who isn't chatting and say something like this: "Hey all you Non Chatters, don't hide. Come talk to me. Don't be shy."

A guy's talking to you and being kind and gentlemanly, ask him this; "You're a sweet gentleman, have you ever enjoyed a private show from this site before?" The wording here is important. You are not asking him to buy from you, you are merely asking if he enjoyed a private before. Guys tend to answer this question honestly because it's not a direct request for them to buy. His answer is very telling. A "no" answer means he is probably not a buyer, and you can work him from that angle. A "yes" answer means he is a buyer, and he is a good prospect to work on./li>

What country are you from? If you have time, learn which countries aren't allowed to open accounts. There aren't many of them and most of them tend to be in the Middle East, or Eastern Europe. You might save yourself a lot of time by knowing this ahead of time.

Age is another factor to consider. Most customers who spend money, especially on long shows, tend to be over 30. Identify the guys over 30, and work them. Your chances are much better than working on 18 or 20 year olds.

Free Chat

The main goal of free chat is to make each customer feel as though you are truly happy to have them in your chartroom. Many clients are looking for a sense of some sort of personal recognition or connection before spending their money in a paid chat. Be sure to both greet each customer warmly as they enter your room and do your best to acknowledge and answer any questions you may be asked. Smiling and looking into the camera is extremely important. it gives the illusion of a friendly, one on one conversation. It may be helpful to increase traffic through your chat by putting the woman in front of the man. Not all, but the majority of customers are men who are looking too see an attractive female and will not be as focused on the man. Although you should both be involved in the chat, you can expect most questions and comments to be directed at the female model. It is also very important that you speak instead of type, to create a far more personal atmosphere. Always be positive, polite and flirty. It is usually good for the man of the couple to make sure to come off friendly and in a way "buddy-ish" with the viewers in your room. Some viewers may feel uncomfortable saying suggestive things to a women in front of her partner and enjoy being reassured that her partner is okay with it. Keeping a customer intrigued with you to the point of wanting more is your task. Avoid losing their interest by striking up conversation, be gregarious and avoid texting or speaking on your phone, which will distance you from the activity in your webcam chartroom. It is nice for viewers to see couples interact and say things to each other. Be sure to pay attention and address the room, but feel free to flirt, tease and joke with one another. Also, plan ahead to avoid frequent breaks. Keep water, snacks or a drink nearby and make sure that your props are accessible. Some webcam models choose to have music on during their free chat. If you choose to do so, be sure that it is not too loud so as not to distract from your conversations. Free chat discussions can range anywhere from what your webcam show offers in paid chat to small talk and the events of your daily life. Friendly, flirty banter is always a good way to engage the members in your free chat and makes you both seem less intimidating as webcam models to shy or new viewers. You may choose to flirt as subtly or as suggestively as you are comfortable with, but remember the objective of free chat is to excite and entice the customers into a paid chat. Either extreme can be detrimental. It is sexy and intriguing for viewers to see you touch one another or kiss passionately ever so often. Showing too much of your bodies or being overly explicit is essentially giving customers a webcam show for free. It is much better to "tease" viewers. Showing them just enough of your bodies, personality, passion for each other and wild side to leave them wanting more in the form of a paid chat. A balance between sexy, funny and friendly is usually the most successful. Keep in mind that is is also very important to be very clear in your profile and in free chat what you offer in private chat versus exclusive chat and what you do not offer at all. That way, any confusion is avoided once in a paid chat and there are no misunderstandings between the both of you and any of your viewers.

Group Chat

A paid group/private chat is a great way to earn money from multiple viewers at once. However, it is important to manage the requests of each viewer wisely to ensure satisfied customers and to avoid becoming overwhelmed by a barrage of suggestions all at once. Both of you need to be vocal about your plans to get to everyone's request. If you can incorporate a couple requests into one act, great, otherwise a first come first serve basis is usually the most fair. Although it may seem overwhelming, really try your best to let each customer know that their desires have been heard and seem enthusiastic about them. As a couple, you have the benefit of two people to keep track of each customers needs, making it easier to stay organized. You can choose to say things like "I can't wait to..." or "I am getting myself ready to...". The acknowledgement of their request coupled with an outstanding show otherwise, will certainly make it seem worth the short wait. If a customer becomes to pushy or insists that you must do something you are not comfortable with, try not to react negatively. With a smile, explain that is not something you offer, and make a suggestion to something along the same lines that you are more comfortable with. This is why it can be very important to be as specific as possible in your profile and free chat regarding the content of your shows. If a no-no is clearly listed in your profile, yet a customer becomes angry that you will not perform it for him, kindly point it out. Some people are purposely rude, to ignite an angry response or get attention. Do not get defensive over yourself or of one another. If both cam models keep their cool and retain their friendly personalities throughout anything, bullies usually become bored and either leave your webcam chat or stop their behavior. If a viewer is being persistently disrespectful to the point of which you cannot ignore them or they are truly upsetting you and affecting the others' show, it may be necessary to use the site's "block" system. Not to worry, though. You will find as webcam models, you encounter far more friendly, generous customers than the opposite. As far as specific, more fetish oriented shows, it is wise to consider only exclusive chats. If it is a somewhat general request (i.e wearing high heels, or thigh highs), many people can enjoy it and it will not interfere with anyone else's viewing. However something a bit more specialized or customized (i.e domination or humiliation shows, non-nude shows) may not be something for everyone and are best left for a one on one paid chat. As a couple communicating is the key to a good webcam show. Put a sexy spin on communicating with each other (i.e "I want you to..." or "I would rather you...") instead of stopping and whispering to each other. Not only will you both be on the same page, but viewers will enjoy how vocal you are with one another and chalk it up to great on screen chemistry.

Private Chat

Private chats or Exclusive chats are wonderful opportunities to provide customers with very personalized, more intimate shows. Before doing any of these shows, discuss beforehand what details you are each comfortable and uncomfortable with. That way, you will both have an understanding and be able to let people know exactly what you do or do not offer in private chat. It will also avoid confusion once you are in the private chat, which will be virtually impossible for the viewer not to notice. Because it is a one on one show, it is very important as a couple to keep the conversation and show interesting. Start off slow, getting an idea of what the viewer will enjoy watching. Make sure that you focus on the viewer's viewing pleasure more than your own agenda as a couple. It is important to enjoy each other, but be sure the viewer is never overshadowed. Ask questions, especially the viewer's name. Incorporating their name or nick name into your show can be very personal and exciting. Always keep in mind that they have paid the extra to have you two all to themselves, so your focus must really be on pleasing them visually in any way you are comfortable with. Be very attentive to anything they request or ask for, and always look into the camera at your viewer. Use everything you can to make them feel as though they are there with both of you and that their company truly excites you. Customers who choose a private chat are looking exactly for a very intimate, personal and custom show, otherwise they would simply pay less for a group chat.

Things To Remember

It cannot be mentioned enough that webcam modeling is completely customer and viewer oriented. If you are able to remember your customers, you will go very far as a cam model. Take notes if possible, citing the customers name if it was offered up, or what they enjoyed watching or requested in your show. Make each other aware of these notes, in case one of you did not notice. Again, this is another situation in which two heads are better than one. It will make them feel very valued as a customer and keep coming back to your couple's show for more! Update your profile photos often, as this will draw old and new customers to your page. You may choose to focus more on photos of the female of the couple, but make sure you have plenty photos together in which both of you are very visible. Even when you are offline, viewers will be able to enjoy your photos and make it a point to see you two live. You may also receive messages from viewers. Subject matter may range anywhere from requests and questions regarding your webcam show to simple greetings and small talk. Either way, it is a wonderful opportunity to connect with viewers and create a following. Check in and say hello to customers who haven't messaged you in a while. Always sign your messages from both of you. They will find it thoughtful and bring your show back to the forefront of their mind. Always find a good balance as far as relationships with viewers. It is certainly important to make them feel a personal connection with them. However, for your own safety and to avoid any serious conflicts, neither of you should ever be giving personal information to customers or giving them false realities by saying things like "I love you" or indicating that you want to be in a romantic relationship with them. You will find that many customers message or provide their contact information without being prompted. If they become pushy about it, explain to them that you are easiest to reach through your cam site or that you are simply not comfortable with it. Again, if some one is disrespectful or overly persistent, they are better deterred by being ignored or being polite to. Try not to get too protective of your partner to the point of becoming angry with one of these types. Most customers will understand and be happy with the ability to communicate through webcam shows or messages on the site. It is really up to you to get the most out of the site as you can. Therefore, if you have any questions about how to use the site, never hesitate to contact the site for help.

The Attitude Of A Webcam Model

We have seen many webcam models complaining to their customers. They talk about how slow it is or how bored they are. Some models even sit there looking tired and sad. No customer is going to spend any amount of money per-minute on a webcam model that is sitting there all angry and upset. Even if you are feeling blue, you have to act, and it has to be a stellar performance. The customers cannot know that you are upset or feeling down, as they only want to talk to someone who is happy, sexy and fun!

Imagine this, a customer has a wife or girlfriend who's grumpy and uptight. He waits for her to go to bed or work, so he can get online and enjoy some hot camgirls. He goes in your room, and sees you chatting about your problems! Guess what, he's gone and so is his money! It's very important for you to remember that first and foremost, being a webcam model means that you are an actress who is online to provide an exciting and sexy performance for your audience. Do not let the customers know you are bored, tired, unhappy or upset. If you can't act sexy, fresh or cheerful, sign off and come back on only when you can put on a happy, sexy face. If you can't do that, you will not have your webcam job very long!

Making Your Webcam Modeling Job More Fun

For the most part having a webcam job is a lot of fun. Unfortunately, some customers could be abusive, and try to ruin some of that fun. No need to explain what an abusive customer is, as you've seen or will see all kinds of them in your job as a webcam model. The following suggestion is somewhat radical, and could take some pride swallowing, but it's very effective. Abusive customers are all looking for the same thing, attention. They just happen to go for the negative attention instead of positive. One reason they act like this is because they are good at getting what they want, more negative attention.

What you do have going for you is the fact that all abusive customers are small children at heart, immature, ill-mannered people who are easily controlled with some creative thinking. Try this once, it will work 9 times out of 10. It is understandable that your first impulse may be to kick these types of people out of your chat room, but try this formula. First, compliment their behavior. Then, ask a personal question.

For example: Customer comes into your chat room and types in all caps shouting, "SHOW ME PUSSY BITCH!"

You say "Wow, you're so demanding, I like that! Where are you from, (customer name)?" It is virtually guaranteed this will catch them off-guard. It is the very last thing they expect to hear from you. The typical answer they give to this response is something like, "I'm from Chicago, why?" They are totally blown away, and you have just taken control. This is much easier than taking a negative approach with them by getting angry, and kicking them out of your room. After that, they just come back being more of a problem and even more annoying. It is a lot more fun to control these types than escalate a fight with them. As a webcam performer, you should always try to use your talent and ability to convert a rude or hostile visitor into a paying customer who is just dying to see you in a private show. At times it may not be easy, but try to always maintain your composure, and be positive and happy on camera. It will pay off big for you in the long run, and you will have much more fun than being angry!

Be A Top Earning Webcam Model

What is your webcam modeling game? Is your game working? Do you always have a game plan in mind when you work your chat room? You will find there are basically two types of customers who will enter your room.

There are people who are lonely, and there are those who are horny. If you notice any of the webcam models you see who are in a long private show, chances are those shows are usually talk shows, not "skin and sex" shows. The reason is, the customer is lonely and wants to talk. Lonely customer fantasies are different than the sex show customer fantasies. Lonely customers fantasize about knowing a girl or guy like you, about dating you, and having you as a "real life" friend. Of course, it's not going to happen, because it is only a fantasy, and, deep down they know it. But, lonely people do not want to end the show if they still have hope of bringing their fantasies to life. It's like a good dream you don't want to wake up from. Sex show customers on the other hand masturbate, and then leave. Of course, you can tease and play with them to prolong the pleasure and your income, but ultimately, you have very little or no control.

Appealing to the lonely customer is actually much easier, as you can talk about almost anything for a long time, and still keep it interesting. Always remember that your role as a webcam model is to be nice, act fun, and come off as if you are available. Always try to make each customer feel special. The game of acting free and available has to be very subtle and coy. If you come on too strong, they know you're pretending. Customers will refuse to believe you are available even if you are, but they will believe that you are going through a bad breakup. Everyone can relate to that because almost everyone goes through breakups or knows someone who has. We saw a cam model using this breakup routine in free chat the other day, when one of the customers asked why she broke up, and her reply was pure genius. She said, "I dumped him because he was too cheap!" Perfect! What a great subversive way to say, "If you want me, step up and spend some money on me".

Remember, you are providing a service of value to both lonely and horny men and women. You should be well compensated for the good feeling and good times you are providing to people who otherwise may have no other way to enjoy the experience you provide. Treat your webcam job like you would any other job, be confident, respect yourself, work hard, and success will follow!!!

Tips For Male Webcam Models

Many models, both male and female, start to see their webcam job as merely a way to make money and forget to have fun! People who come to watch a webcam model will be turned off straight away when they see they are there just for the money. It is very important to let them see it is fun for you, that you are there for the same reason he/she is: you are horny, you like to chat, etc, not for the money. For example, when asked "what's up"? it helps to say things like, "I woke up so horny so I came online to see what's going on and hopefully get some fun". And it's very important to show them you love to be watched on cam, people love exhibitionists!

Talk To Everyone

While in the free chat, lots of people will come and go. Remember there are 100's webcam models online, it is in the free chat that you differentiate yourself and stand out! Talk to everyone as if he is someone who will take you private for 30 minutes or more. However it is also important to filter the viewers and in case the room gets full, you concentrate on the ones more likely to take a webcam model to the private chat. Viewers who start by asking you to show nudity will most likely NOT take you private. I know it is very annoying but never be rude to them. They will give up sooner than you think. Remember there many other models, they will move on to the next one and leave you alone. And although tempting, if someone offers you to send you GOLD if you show this or that, don't do it because in most cases he will not take you private. I noticed that most people who do that are very curious to see what's hidden under the volume in my underwear and will eventually give in and go private, even if for a couple minutes.

Stay Focused

Also in free chat, make sure that's the only thing you are doing at the moment. People simply hate a distant and uninterested webcam model. If you need to do something, log out and come back when you are done. But NEVER turn off your cam without saying anything when there are people watching. They very much dislike rudeness. Say you need to go for a bit and that you will be right back. Also first impressions are HUGE in webcam modeling! Do NOT chew gum, eat too much, make phone calls, etc. while you are live on cam. Do NOT have loud music! If you are watching porn to keep your erection, make sure the sound is off or at least very low.

Have a Variety of Hot Clothing Within Reach

Make sure to have different outfits/underwear close to you at all times. People have different taste! Try to make a nice assortment of underwear, swimwear, fetish clothing, etc.. It will pay off when someone asks you, for example if you have a speedo and you say "yes its right here", they will see this as you and him sharing the same fetish/fantasy and will be much more willing to take you private.

Be Honest

If you do not like or feel uncomfortable doing something, say it. People will appreciate a honest model. Whenever possible, let people know what to expect from your show. If they want you to ejaculate but you are not willing to do so for whatever reason, let them know. But always be polite. Show you are sorry for not being able to do that but you will try to make it up to him/her. He/she will come back when you are ready to ejaculate and will probably come back more times as he will see you as a trustful webcam model.

Video and Sound Quality Make it More Personal

With regards to the quality of your live shows, having an HD cam is extremely important. When browsing models, viewers will choose the ones who have this option. Make sure your microphone is working properly. Talk clear and try to talk directky to the person who is watching, especially in private. They love to hear you say their names when you two are having fun. It makes them feel it is real.

When Asked to do Something, Do it Immediately

In the paid chat, when asked to do something, do it immediately. People want to see their money is not being wasted by you trying to gain time by taked 5 min to undress! "Slow" models are the number one complain in reviews! Make sure it doesn't take you more than a couple minutes to have a full erection. Look into the camera, talk to them, make them open up. Some people are shy, try to make them say what they like. The more he/she talks, the easier it is for you to run the show because you will know whether what you are doing is good or bad and to which direction to take the show. Some people like it aggressive, some like it soft, some are active, some passive...and only by letting them speak you will know.

Share the Experience with your Chatters

Always ask if they have a cam too. This shows you are more interested in having fun with him rather than just taking his money. Say you would love to see him jacking off while he watches you, that it is a big turn on for you. It works!

Be Open to Chatter's Fantasies

If the person has fantasies, just go with it. Say it is also a big turn on for you or at least show it is ok with you. The point is to make them feel comfortable, never pass judjements. People with fantasies are the ones who come back over and over because they feel understood if you give them a good time.

Make Viewers Feel Specal

Make the viewer feel special. When he/she comes back, greet him/her with a smile. Say how happy you are he is back. Show that you remembered him. Be specific, give details of your last session. They will love it.

Webcam Model Tips For Couples

In the world of couples webcam modeling, the potential for cam models to have fun and earn money together is limitless. It is a social and exciting job in which, as cam models, you are able to set your own hours and determine your own income. The most important thing to remember about a webcam job, is that you only get out of it what you are willing to put in. There are subtle tips and tricks cam models may use to enhance the customer's experience and increase earning potential as a couple.

Be Prepared

Remember, a webcam job is extremely viewer/customer oriented. Therefore, with viewing quality comes more popularity and success. It is wise to invest in a fast internet connection (minimum of 450 kbps) and HD webcam. Your work area should be focused on you. This means a well lit, clutter free, inviting workspace will be far more aesthetically pleasing to a customer. Be sure to show up for work clean and well groomed with plenty of light on both cam models. Women may include small touches like painted toenails or jewelry to add interest to their appearance. Men may choose tight fitting, flattering clothing, or clothing that shows off an interesting part of their body (i.e large arm muscles or a tattoo). A lot of successful cam model couples include props and toys, which add variety to the types of shows that they offer. The more variety, the larger your pool of viewers. Props may include costumes or outfits that make you feel sexy. Many cam models also choose to include the use of toys that they are comfortable with. Always be open to suggestions concerning props. Not only will your interest in what your customers enjoy seeing make you seem like very responsive cam models, but it will also encourage viewers to return to your show. Between the two of you, make sure one another is okay with the props the other wants to use. Viewers can tell when one of you is not enjoying something.

Researching Reputable Companies

Do a Google search of webcam modeling companies. Make a list of 3-5 companies you will inquire further about. The legitimacy of companies like LiveJasmin or I-Camz has been backed by many users. However, it is still advisable to thoroughly review each company you might consider working for and to check that the company is indeed reputable.

Inquire about the payment structure. Typically, users pay tokens - credits or “tips” - which allow them to interact with cam models. Webcam models, in turn, make money when the host site, the middleman, distributes the tips. Every camming company will take a different percentage of the tips, so find out exactly what the rate is. Some sites, for example, will allow you to keep 50-60% of the profits from tips.

You should also find out how frequently you will be paid. Some companies will pay you twice a month, some monthly, a very select few daily. Factor this into your considerations for what company you will sign up with.

Know that as an independent contractor, you will still owe taxes to the IRS. You will have to pay these on your own through quarterly estimated payments or by filing a tax return at the end of the year.

Evaluate whether the pay is worth the cost. Being a webcam model involves incurring certain expenses on your part. These can range from buying a variety of outfits and lingerie to purchasing high-definition equipment. Consider whether these are costs you are willing to bear up-front in order to in turn potentially earn money in the long-run.

Making money as a cam model is not guaranteed. You could have days when you don’t make any money. Determine whether this is acceptable to you prior to signing up for a camming website.

Read reviews written by other models. You can do this by doing a Google search of camming site reviews. Multiple favorable reviews will likely mean the company can be trusted. However, you should always use your own discretion to determine if this is indeed the case for each particular site you are considering.

You can also watch YouTube videos by webcam models to get their insight into the webcam industry.

Signing up to be a Webcam Model

Complete an application. Every company will have a different application process, but all legitimate companies will ask you to fill out the required paperwork. This will include a model contract and release form.

Recall that a reputable company will never ask you for a webcam interview or for nude images.

Create an account. Once your paperwork has been processed, you will receive an email notifying you that you can begin to update your profile. This will include choosing a username, which should be simple and easy to remember. A simple username will make it easier to get repeat visitors and is also something you could use to promote yourself on social media sites like Twitter or Instagram.

Write a description. This should include information about what you are willing to do on camera as well as any talents you may have, such as dancing or speaking foreign languages. Do not offer to do anything you are not comfortable with. At the same time, know that your willingness to fulfill requests and perform a variety of acts can set you apart and increase your earning potential.

Upload a profile picture. This image should be eye-catching and colorful so as to entice viewers to click on your profile. If possible, upload multiple pictures to your profile. Once you upload your images, your profile will go through an approval process. Once approved, you can begin hosting live shows.

Set your limits. A live broadcast is your show. You are the one who sets the rules. If you don’t want to show your face, don’t. If you would rather perform without audio, do just that. The same goes for if you don’t want to perform fully nude. You are the one with full control over your broadcast.

Evaluate the risks involved. Do this prior to signing up for any camming company. Being a webcam model involves potentially exposing yourself to scams, blackmail, or various forms of exploitation. Furthermore, your videos are accessible by practically anyone and have the potential to remain on the internet forever. Your true identity could also be revealed.

If you fear that somebody you know might stumble across your video or that a potential employer might notice your cam activity, carefully consider whether camming is the right profession for you.

Performing Live

Set up a quality feed. You can use the camera on your laptop if you have a solid, high-speed internet connection. The better the picture quality, the more users your broadcasts will attract.

Set the stage. Choose a single area as your workspace and use this as your background every time you broadcast live. You should also set up the room in a way that attracts visitors, so clean the area around you, consider performing in front of a brightly-colored wall, and choose a room with good lighting.

Prepare your appearance. Groom as you see fit and dress as you intend to perform. If you want to have a seductive broadcast, choose an alluring outfit. If you want your broadcast to be more casual or low-key, choose an outfit that is less revealing but still cute. If you plan on accepting role-play requests, have a few costumes on hand in case you decide to switch to a private show.

Create a consistent persona. If you decide to be a kawaii anime girl, be a kawaii anime girl during every broadcast. You want the vibe in your room to be the same every time users join your broadcast. This will create a feeling of familiarity and comfort which will attract regular users.

Go live. Be outgoing, smile, and engage in conversation with the users. Talk to them, the goal being to keep them entertained and in your room. Look directly at the camera to create a more intense and realistic connection with your users.

Maximizing Profits

Be extra active during your first week. Many sites, like I-Camz, will spotlight new models. You can leverage this additional exposure to boost your earnings and to begin establishing a regular clientele.

Set an earnings goal. This will allow you to estimate approximately how many hours a week you should be working and how many regular clients you should have so as to obtain your desired income.
