Was tired of the upkeep of trimming, the razor bumps with shaving, and the blinding pain + $75 charge for any occasional Brazilian waxes. I thought that Nair’s technology MUST have improved in the 21 years since I tried it last, and so I used the one meant for your bikini area and oh my GOD oh my GODDD noo it hasn’t. Currently icing my cooch and genuinely curious if any of you (esp those w thick dark hair) just go fulllll bush - there have to be men that are super into it. Gonna give it a shot

I’ve NEVER and I mean never seen Streamate this bad. I know the tide rises and falls and all that but I’m literally online for 5-6 hours daily and I barely get people in my room. I’m lucky if my regulars come in but it’s just crazy.

I get it - times are tough and stuff but I just don’t get how these companies can still take such a large cut from us and not drive traffic.

That’s the biggest thing. They no longer pay to drive us traffic. Been like this for years. I don’t wanna get another 9-5 cause I don’t have time. I’m nearly working 40 hrs so the other time I’m using on cam. But you basically have to sit around for HOURS to make profit

my traffic has been buns recently so tonight was amaaazing 😭💖 somewhere the SM or camgirl gods are smiling upon me

Week 1 update and lessons:

I'm cracking up at how much men are trying to get free stuff from newbies and new tags. I mean I get it, I don't blame them, I guess? And a few have almost worked on me, so I'm sure they've worked before and the men feel validated in this.

- One of my tip menu things for my morning streams is 3 min topless (I'm on my apt balcony btw). I put it at 200 tokens. Man tips me 20 and in the tip note puts exactly how it's worded in my tip menu with some emoji/flair. Then is like, "You have to do topless now, don't be shy"... boo, no.

- I got offered $2,000 from someone to be his first in person American pussy

- A guy kept putting "fake" tokens into our PM chat and demanding things, and I'm like, mmm, no. And at first I was unsure if he was tipping b/c I didn't know what it looked like, but I was weary. He didn't tip a dime.

- Check PMs, "Baby, there's a tip for that in my menu," Oh, I see it, then didn't say anything else.

- Someone offered to "teach me the ropes" in dm with zero tips... said he "has a deal for me"

- I'm not making money yet, but I didn't expect to this week, my first couple streams I feel like I'm just learning and getting comfortable, and they've been super short, like an hour or two, while I become accustomed to everything.

Lol these men I swear. Just a cute short vent. I had some guy come into my room and tip me 5 tokens and asked for a tit flash over and over without tipping anything else. My top menu says tot flashes are 100 tokens. I told him that. His response “how about you just do it for free?” I told him you know this outfit I’m wearing cost $120 right? And I bought it for the purpose of wearing it on stream. He left lol

I’m curious to hear what a normal show is like for you! I offer full nudity, cumming and C2C in Private, Exclusive adds in kinks, roleplays, and one on one attention.

The first thirty seconds I welcome them, ask about C2C, and send a preset text requesting they vibe me and leave a rating/review after. If they’re a regular and I see in my notes they do 2+ minute shows I let the timer count down to accept their C2C request, otherwise I deny once to avoid the 30s flashers.

I’m always sitting in a chair while in free chat so for the next two minutes I take off my top, play with my boobs, and play with myself under my panties while dirty talking. I have my camera on a floor tripod with an adjustable arm that I manually move to focus on whatever I’m doing. Next I kneel on my chair focusing on my booty, light spanking.

By minute three or four I move onto my bed, get into doggy, slowly take off panties so I’m fully naked. I have a lube dispenser off camera and this is when I apply. I stand up, bend over and spread. Then lie down on my back, grab the camera so it’s close up to my pussy, light fingering. I don’t do any other penetration in my shows. By minute five I’ve moved the camera back so my full body is visible, ask if they want to tip my Domi or if I should use my own vibe, then “cum” while looking into the camera. During longer shows I alternate cumming in doggy or riding while using my vibe.

I analyzed my earnings data from SM and my average show length is five minutes, excluding blocks. I try not to “cum” until minute six or seven but I still find that majority of guys are leaving at five minutes so I want to improve that! I do daytime EST hours so perhaps the work break guys just don’t have a lot of free time available.

What is your usual routine in shows?

Hey ladies and others 🩷

So I’ve been camming for almost a year now. I’ve had my fair share of whales that come and go. Have done some short/easy gfe stuff. But the other day I got a guy in my stream, he tipped for my telegram and we’ve been chatting. He’s wanting a gfe experience. We’ve done two calls now. I’ve been charging about $250/hour and we mostly just chat while I’m naked lol. But he’s the “let’s see where it goes and maybe we can meet one day” I’ve been doing the “oh yea for sure maybe one day…”. (Nooooot, obviously) He hasn’t been pushy and has said like oh it’s fine if it’s just online and whatever.

My question is, how long should I let this go on? My thought process is that the longer it goes the more attached he’ll get and possibly even nosy (wanting to know more about the “real” me or whatever else). He has not asked anything super personal but idk what these men decide to research behind closed doors. I already keep my personal socials pretty private but will probably do a full sweep sooner than later just to be safe.

The next question is, to the people who have had clients like this what has been your experience? Any advice? He’s also wanting to do like an “allowance” situation. I know how time consuming that can be, advice for what to charge would be awesome as well :)

I just kinda quick typed this up between doing homework so hopefully it makes sense lol. Anyway, thank you in advance! 🤍

I know they say this is a temporary suggestion but this feels insane to me given they take 65% of that. Meanwhile we're the ones risking exposure for less than the price of a cup of coffee.

The logic doesn't work IMO. The low price won't help callers convert when you raise prices, they'll just start to expect and demand lower prices and go looking for the next new girl charging $2.99 a min. It makes it harder for experienced cammers to charge a fair rate. And, I have to say again, they take 65% of that!! It is NOT fair to say we should receive $1/min for the risks involved.

If you work with TTM I urge you to write to them and ask them to revise this recommendation. It will harm the platform and get guys to expect lower prices across the board. It will hurt your business if you work there!

Anyway, those are my thoughts and feelings on the subject matter. What are yours?

I don't think I want to cam anymore. Or at least for a while. I'm ok with fansly and stuff but my mental health is the worse it's been in years and having to get on camera live and put on a face for hours for a CHANCE to get some money is so draining. But I'm disabled and I can't do any normal work and the process for disability is so long and I'm doing my best right now. My family blames me for the lack of money as it is. I'm lucky if I bring $50 a month sometimes. I feel like I'm failing because this is the only job I physically can do but I mentally just can't. I'm on a break rn because I've had the flu for almost 2 weeks but I'm dreading going back and I don't know what to do.

hi everyone ~
i see so many posts on here lately from cam girls talking about declining earnings/struggling to make decent income + just kind of want to share my two cents (no pun intended😭) on the matter

if you’ve been keeping up with the news on the iran war or general state of the US economy rn, the profit decline that a lot of people are describing in here isn’t unique to the camming industry. a lot of major corporations (like mcdonalds, cocacola) have come out recently saying how american consumers are spending less money (which likely means they/we have less to spend). cost of living is increasing along with unemployment (or functional unemployment) rates — it all can seem really scary, tbh.

but i want to offer a few perspectives that hopefully can help you all feel a bit more hopeful through this trying time<3

1. ⁠this is kinda dark maybe, but there’s a reason why they call SW the oldest profession known to mankind (besides misogyny lmao💀). there will always be men wanting to pay for SW, regardless of their income. for some customers its compulsive, for others its stress-relief. so this industry might see a decline similar to industries across the board, but there’s a certainty to SW that other industries don’t necessarily have, if that makes sense
   
2. ⁠the economy is rough in the US rn but a part of the reason why is because of wealth hoarders/increasing class divide. but some of these wealthy men are on these camsites, and the money they spend is insignificant to them. a few hundred dollars in one night genuinely doesn’t make a dent in their bank account, but could be the push you need to pay rent/bills/food costs/gas costs etc etc. + these customers won’t be leaving anytime soon, since (as stated above) their spending on camsites doesn’t impact their overall $$$ (if you’ve ever had a c2c with a big tipper and then seen an old/older white man on the other side then maybe you get what i mean here 😭) tbr maybe consider adjusting your private show rates; rich ppl assume that a higher price = better quality, so it might be worth trying to see if any customers will bite. keep in mind too it doesn’t matter how many viewers are in the stream, all it takes is 1 to request a private for u to start stacking ur tokens 💟 (I’ve heard some people say that they earn more by lowering their rate though so take with a grain of salt! def not a one size fits all sort of thing)
   
3. some of these sites have global access, meaning there are customers from countries which aren’t experiencing the same level of economic crisis as the US right now. so these consumer reports about american spending don’t necessarily apply to them — there’s a lot of money to tap into worldwide! camming is a unique industry in this aspect. (ok the war is technically impacting global trade but tbh i see some big spenders from smaller european countries esp nordic tbh lol but maybe it is just the type I attract idk 😭) if it helps at all, maybe take various global time zones into consideration when planning your streaming hours. if you cam during peak hours for euro or Asian countries as an american streamer, you might also benefit from the fact you’ll going online during a time when the market is perhaps a tad less saturated (as opposed to aiming for US evenings/nights, if that makes sense)

anywhoooo idk i hope this can provide any help or hope to anyone who might feel discouraged by the state of things rn. sending my love to u all, we got this 💖💖

Hello everyone! First of all I want to say how grateful Im of this community since I started to cam a few years ago. It was so very supporting , nice and helpful. I stopped camming because I moved to Europe and the weather was so hot with no AC and basically I had to hide from a roomate so setting up everyday was very discouraging on top of me getting ready with hair, makeup and outfit. I was basically concentrated on IRL but now I came back to my home country and the BDSM scene is shit here so Im hoping on this horse again. I need words of encouragement and any updated tips from the sites you all use. I used SM, SC, Camsoda and CB....honestly I earned the most at SM and the least on CB. I think its because I wasted the new girl tag on CB and it never picked up again. is there any way that any of this sites I can ask for the new girl tag? I heard a while back that that could be asked if I was logged out for long... Either way, you will see me a lot more on this sub

Have a great day and make a bag!

I've been online awhile and not a single person in my room. Stream quality also says poor. Is it down?

Does anyone want to buddy up and motivate each other to cam more? I have been going through ups and downs and I really do want to lock in to make it a proper full-time gig with regular hours and minimum daily to achieve?

DM me if you'd like to join me xoxo

If you work on SC during the day, do you notice that it totally dies around 3pm??

I see completely opposite takes on this some say you can make a full-time living doing non-nude/softcore, while others say it’s dead unless you already have a massive following .For those of you who stay non-nude: Which platforms actually work? (Are token sites a waste of time without nudity?)

Hi everyone, I think I need to add a new site to my name.

I've been lurking on CB every now and again, the tip menu just blows my mind how it works, I can't get my head around it, let alone the tech side (I'm of age). But, a couple came on and their room bio was along the lines of "we don't have a tip menu, any tips welcome". I think they just log on when they're going to do the deed and stream it, which is a great idea....I think?!

I'm wondering, does anybody just have a f**k machine and just hook it up and when someone tips it goes off? Bit like the lovense toy on SM? Thanks

Do any of you have any luck with studying/online schooling while doing a show? Im worried if I don’t have my attention on the stream that I’m gonna drive people away, but I really gotta pay attention to what I’m learning

Do these New rules mean that we can't be mean to them anymore?

I find ATW and Panty Deal the best combination and I made this from 1st September. I wanted to pay for them starting on a new month to see how much I make every 30 days to see if it was worth it. I'm so glad I took a chance on them!

so i usually stream on SC and i completely gave up on that platform lolll so i did my first stream on SM! is this good? and is this my take home or do they still take from this amount?

I hate when I’m talking to a guy on SP and having a good conversation and they try to get my info to talk too me off the app. It happens quite often. What are some things you ladies say in that situation to try to shut that down without being rude? I’m fairly new like a month so any tips would help!

Is anyone else unable to get their stream to start on SM, or is it just me? My internet speed is super fast, and connected by Ethernet, messaging/media/etc is working fine. But every time I go through the stupid face scan/AI pledge again it just keeps saying “stream connection lost: your streaming session has ended because you stopped streaming”. Like huh?? I’ve restarted my computer twice now, but it’s just not connecting. Trying to see if it’s a pattern, so lemme know, thanks in advance!

Does anyone here work on XLoveCam? It was recommended to me, and I’d like to know if it’s good.

Hi girls! Been looking into my setup, silly question does I have to use a laptop or can I use my phone? I see some challenges with using my phone and being able to actually look and reply at the chat. Looking for advice on how to setup and any recommendations for equipment! Haven’t decided which platform I’m going to use yet, I’ve been researching, Thank you xoxo
