The word cam girls refers to women who expose themselves on the Internet via a webcam for sexual purposes and for financial compensation. Their male counterparts are called cam boys.

Nothing could be simpler to become a cam girl: all you need is a webcam, a computer, and an internet connection. 

On the other hand, concerning age, there is one unbreakable rule: to apply, you must be 18 years or older, with an ID card. Because, in this profession, anonymity is all relative. If a pseudo replaces their name, most pose with their faces uncovered.

For security reasons, very few of them give out their email address. As a result, the only way for an outsider to approach them is through instant messaging, which is not conducive to an ongoing, long-lasting conversation.

How does being a cam girl work?

Some work independently from their private homes. In this case, it is they who decide what they want to post or show. They usually exhibit provocative and early-exhibition behaviors online. 

They can show off some of their nudity or send you erotic messages. 

Although a majority are women, some men practice this activity, as well. However, they are rare. Men make up the majority of a cam girl’s clientele. They are called the viewers, and some do not hesitate to pay a cam girl online for a sex show. In this case, she shows her nudity, masturbates in front of them with sex toys, and performs other forms of erotic behavior. 

How to Become a Cam Girl

So, of course, before you start your first live broadcast, you need to buy yourself a quality webcam and a professional microphone. You also need a computer and a good internet connection. And after that, you have to train yourself.

All trades in the world require training to improve in their field. Look even at an ordinary salary life. When you integrate a new team into a new establishment, you will necessarily be entitled to a few days of training to familiarize yourself with your new work environment.

Before launching your live shows, there is a lot to know and understand to outperform your competitors. What makes the difference in this job (beyond charisma and beauty) is knowledge and experience. 

Are you really made for the profession of Camgirl? 

Before you start becoming an online model, it’s important to consider whether this industry is right for you. First of all, are you comfortable in front of a camera? Are you ashamed when you see yourself in pictures? 

You may have thought about all of this already, but to become a camgirl you don’t have to be (or rather cannot be) too modest. You have to be able to be assertive and have confidence in yourself. If you don’t have all of these qualities right now but are motivated, it will all come with time.

Privacy for cam girls

We are approaching a sensitive subject. Most newbie webcam amateurs don’t want people and those around them to know about their camgirl activity. Honestly, there will always be a risk of being recognized, but there are several ways to significantly limit this risk. A few tips:

• Do not choose a nickname that can be linked with your identity.
• The filming space must not contain any clue that identifies you.
• Disguise yourself! In order not to be recognized, think of wearing a wig or utilizing fake tattoos. 
• Last but most important advice. The platforms have options to block access from your room to viewers from some geographic regions (countries, regions, the city). Feel free to use them! This greatly limits the risk of being recognized by those in your hometown, but do realize that you also deprive yourself of many potential customers.

Create your personality

When you become a webcam host, you have to choose a personality for yourself. This person will include your username, date of birth, and character. 

It might sound very obvious, but it is SUPER important not to reveal real information to customers when you become a webcam model.

Some users feel that since paying you, they deserve some kind of special relationship. Do not encourage this behavior; do not give any of your users your real name or address. If you intend to sell your Whatsapp number/contact details for cash, do so with a secondary, non-traceable phone.

Choose a webcam site.

When choosing an adult cam site to stream to, there are a few main criteria you should look at. First and foremost, you should look at the payout share and payout dates. 

Why? Since you are doing all the hard work, you want to make sure that you get the lion’s share of the earnings.

You need to determine if you want to work on a freemium-type site or a paid-type site. Both can make you a lot of money, and it really depends on what kind of shows you want to put on.

How is it possible? 

If you only want private chats, a paid site would be better for you; however, if you’re into interactive shows, you might find free sites with thousands of users, which could be more profitable.

You should also consider the state of the competition at each site. If you want to become an extremely popular camgirl, consider if you wish to be the biggest fish in a small pond or another girl on an extremely popular site. 

When some sites have an average of 100 girls online, and others have over 600, it’s easy to see where you’ll get more exposure.

A great way to make money is to appeal to people’s fetishes. If you have a fetish that you’re into, you might be able to apply it to cam modeling. There are dedicated sites that focus on fetishes such as mature, dominatrix, submission, and more.

How to excel in webcam animation? 

Being a webcam host is really nothing complicated, and you will be paid very well. You will be able to benefit from free management of your schedule. You will be able to manage your amount of work well. You have no obligations of results or schedules while being able to work from home. 

Plus, no one has to know how you make a living.

On the other hand, it should be remembered that, as in any field, it is impossible to improve in your profession if you do not put your heart into it. For a woman, it is possible to want to be a Cam girl just for the money. Under these conditions, the slightest demand from customers could repel you, and you will then have difficulty in performing. So avoid that! 

It’s okay to be a little more naughty and playful in a naughty live cam.

If you want to make a lot of money, you’ll have to be willing to put in the effort. Start by letting go of your moods. See it as a way to “work” your femininity. 

You will then be able to improve yourself further if you do it for pure pleasure. 

Be comfortable with your body and with showing off to strangers. Depending on your personality, it can be difficult at first. But you will see that little by little you will get there quickly. 

Since this is a freelance job, you will also need to be constantly motivated. There will be no boss to dictate your actions. You will need to know what you want and empower yourself to get it.

The world of camgirls is extremely competitive. You find cam girls who will have no limits. If a guy insists too much on you doing something you don’t want to do, then it is up to you to ensure that you set your own personal boundaries and do not cross them simply because of the allure for money. 

Keep in mind that a private show session should be fun for you so that it can be fun for your Internet users. And if you find the voyeurs too heavy in their requests, do not hesitate to inform a moderator from the website, and they will take care of filtering out the unwelcome visitors.

And always remember the essential aspect of being a cam girl: Have fun!!
