Being a cam girl

[LostBabygirl3489]

Any advice on how to start off being a cam girl? I've entertained the idea for awhile now. I enjoyed doing it when I was younger and had no idea that you could get paid for it back then. I just did it for fun and because I genuinely enjoyed it. It may be a bit difficult to do now since I live at home with my parents, but that didn't stop me back then haha...any advice would be appreciated. A lot of girls seem to be doing it now so it seems hard to break into, but maybe I'm wrong.

Plenty of my clients were cam girls, performing while the kids were at school.

Back then I hadda network of pimps, porn producers, and such, and knew how to locate people and refer them for work as hookers or performers. The better pimps usta call me for hooker background chex.

I'd check with some adult shops and swinger clubs for further direction.

Awesome. I'll do some research and see what I can do. I love to touch myself and I come multiple times so I wouldn't mind an audience.

Side effects

Remember that this may overflow into your real life.

Be prepared for some stranger to accost you on the street, thinking that you are for sale in real life, because he has bought you in virtual life.

Be prepared for your parents to ask you why there are vice cops at the door asking about proper licences.

I'm not saying don't do it; I'm saying that if you do it, go into it with your eyes open.

Do you have any videos we can see in the meantime? Sort of like a sneek peek as to what you like to do on cam?

Its a safe way to make money.

I usta know pimps who were upstanding gentlemen. One I knew offered childcare and room and board, plus some porn producers who did right, but there are too many opportunities for a girl to get robbed and murdered, and some I knew did.

Good luck.

I thought it wasn't illegal? I was considering being an escort but I'm too paranoid for it, knowing my luck something bad would happen to me.

It seems like all sex work is dangerous. I'm going to stick with my plan of returning to college and getting my master's degree.

 

[Primalex]

I think if you are taking NOIRTRASH serious, then you are likely too naive for such work anyway.

The key aspect of it is, that it is work. If you want to have fun and money, get a sugar daddy.

 

[hadruprider]

I don't get this. On another thread you say you are stressed and depressed because some guy is publicising pics of you. Now on this thread you say you want to be a cam girl?
That makes no sense. Don't do it.

You do that. I know somebody who cams for a living because her disability payments were stopped. *shrug* At least it's one thing she can just about still do.

She wasn't the sunniest natured person to start with, but her repeated contact with scumbags while camming has done nothing for her opinions of men in general, and bugger all for her health.

BTW by the time you've paid for lube, accessories, toys, and your internet access, the money really isn't as good as it might seem.

I meant camming like me just masturbating....I wouldn't have sex with others. I should have explained myself more.

As for the choice between a Cam Girl and going to college, I'd say having a degree would be the better one. You could cam in your spare time (if you get one, that is). That's one way to make some easy money on the side.

Being a Cam Girl takes a lot of patience. You need to look your best, show your best and try to extract the most you can out of your viewers. If you're good, followers will mill around you automatically. I don't think you'd want to go pro. THAT involves a lot of work. Try it for a few days to see if it's for you.

If not, the option of joining college is always open.

Also...take everything NOIRTRASH/JAMESBJOHNSON says with a gigantic grain of salt. His origin story changes according to the thread OP he's interested in. He's been a pimp, a soldier in Vietnam, a drug store owner, a psychiatrist, a drug peddler and a pro gardener. And that's not even the complete list.

 

[Jay321]

There are several can sites out there for you to get your feet wet. Even lit has cams.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

I usta encourage my clients to collect a dozen or so johns they could screen and service with little risk.

One was a vice detective's wife. He did the background chex.

The danger involves walking the street and strangers. Plenty of cops are involved in the sex industry. You gotta treat it like real business.

My parents were involved in organized crime. At 11 years old I was too. I was the boss of a paper company that screwed major corporations with bogus billing for work never done. My signature went on the contracts authorized by field managers.

My old man usta butcher herds of cattle, load them aboard refrigerator trucks, and send them to Miami Beach.

My mothers thing was arson.

LBG is sticking with her plan of going back to college. I don't want sex work to ruin my love of sex.

 

[hadruprider]

Glad to hear that. Wise decision LBG.

 

[Penuche]

LBG is sticking with her plan of going back to college. <snip>

Very glad to hear it - good luck with college too.

 

[LostBabygirl3489]

Thank you guys...it's hard work but it's worth it, and much more safer.

Very wise decision. A college education is generally the gateway to upward mobility in our society. You can always do a bit of camming on the side if you need spending money -- when you're not studying.

look into ********** and several others. Do some research outside of Lit, too. Yes, if you don't protect your privacy, someone might recognize you. Then again, anyone who does, has probably jerked off to you. I'm on several gay dating websites with this name and not too worried about someone seeing me. If they do, then they are gay, too, right?

I was a phone sex operator for about a year to make some extra money. It was a pretty lucrative part-time job, but that's just it - it's a job. You don't get to pick and choose your clients, you have to be a really good listener and a really great actress because you're going to get some nutjob who wants to pretend to break your nose in some prisoner/warden scenario.

A lot of guys liked to be seen on cam jerking off. I'd make them pay me more $$ per minute to watch them -- it seemed like a win/win. I didn't have to be seen, I made more money, and I could give a half-assed phone session since I didn't have to dream up some scenario. They were doing all the heavy lifting, so to speak. All I had to do was say, "you look awesome."

Good luck getting your degree! Seems like the wise long-term choice.

a) There is no guarantee that it is worth it.
b) Going to college is the opposite of making money, it costs money.
c) College guys are totally known for respecting the bodily autonomy of women.
d) If you really compared "going to college" versus "cam girl" and are taking life-changing advices from strangers from a porn board, you should prepare for the option to actually fail getting a degree.
e) If you go to college to maybe earn more money in the future instead of going to college because you are passionate about what you intend to study, you will end up in a job you hate and become a stay at home mother in 10 years. In this case the better option is to look for a promising male partner during your college time.

I'm guessing youre no polymath. I didn't spend 40 years picking my nose as a toll collector. My GATB aptitude tests recommended RESEARCH PHYSICIAN, PETROLEUM ENGINEER, and LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, too.

I said this elsewhere today. People like you walk the beach finding pretty shells and shiny stuff, and ignore and unmolest the Great Ocean of Truth by the beach.
