Webcam model cons and pros

Cam girl job is a special job that can offer something that no other job can offer. It is clear that cam girls job is high pay job like many other sites say. But what webcam model really is is not clearly explained at many sites. Before you apply to any cam sites, perhaps it is better to understand what cam girls are. Here is the answer to this questions” what is webcam model?”. If you know what it is , good. Let’s move forward.

Whatever the job you choose, there are merit and demerit. cam girl job is not an exception. You should consider both demerits and merits when you start working as a webcam model.

Cons on being cam girl

• Mentally tough
• Risk to be identified/recorded  
• Income is not stable
• Socially not accepted

Let’s go through each points one by one.

Mentally tough

Webcam model work is about service and hospitality. When you talk to your customers, they are not necessarily nice to you. Some are really rude. Some ask you to things that you do not want to do. Because you do not have to face these people in face to face, it is much better than being stripper. But it is still mentally tough if you do not know how to handle such people.

Here are some of the people who makes this job stressful.

Risk: How can people find out about you?

How to become a webcam girl is easy as you need to sign up to one of camming sites. But you may want to consider some risks before doing so. There are three  scenarios that people who you know can possibly find out your profession.

• He/she finds out through recorded videos.

It is too easy to record your show due to technology. There are many free programs that allows user to record their display. Some people do it to watch it latter but some people upload to make money out of it. Once video is uploaded, usually the video can be deleted fairly quickly if you submit request to the site(if it is uploaded to minor site in other country, it gets difficult as intellectual property rights may be limited). You never know which sites your friends and family go to. If you are unlucky enough, they see your video and you are in trouble.

• He/she finds out through your show.

Other scenario is that they are actually one of the viewers at the site you work for. May be one day they find you while they are searching which channel to enter to see a show. If it is your family, you may be ok. But what if it is someone who knows about you and try to black mail about you. That is going to be disaster

• Blackmail.

Technologies have good side and bad side. AI technologies are on the rise and people have access to such technologies easier than before. Camming industry is not an exception from AI tech development. Face recognition program using AI is often used by hacker to blackmail cam girls. The way they do is that they identify your SNS account from the picture and broadcasting by using face recognition program. Once they identify you, they threaten you by saying that they are going to send your pictures to your friends on SNS if you do not pay $XXX to us. Because hackers send such message anonymously, it is hard to talk to the police about the incident. Furthermore, it is often the case that such incident is out of polices` hand because it is international crime.

Can you avoid such risk?

The best thing you can do to avoid such risk is not to work as a camgirl. Leave this site and go look for other a job.

Well, if you still want to work as a webcam model. Here is what you need to do.

• Anti-recordings protection

One known notorious site is webcamrecordings.com. They use bots to record shows and upload to their site. This site does not care if someone submits DMCA as they are not located in country where DMCA governs copy rights. Also the server company is not restricted by DMCA as well. Thus, nobody can stop them from recording models.

You can not avoid recording risk as long as you work as a cam girls. But you can mitigate the risk that someone you know sees your recorded video. Because you have intellectual rights on your show (Depending on cam site, you may be not the one who possess the rights.), you can submit search engines to deindex your images. If search engines such as google deindexes your images, nobody can reaches to that pages.

Deindex request is fairly simple. All you need is to prove that you are the one that is in the picture or video. Read terms and condition to check who possess the intellectual property rights and contact cam sites if you are not the one.

• Do not show your face while you are in free chat

Most of recordings happens in free chat. This is simply because anybody can enter to your room. So the strategy is to hid your face at free chat and show your face only at paid chat.

• Utilize blocking functions

Most of the international sites have a blocking function which allows models to block designated countries and regions. For example, if you live in New York, you can block any accesses from New York. From the viewers eye who live in New York, your room would not even show up.

This works pretty well to hide your profession. But there is a pitfall on this method. If they are using a proxy, this function does not work at all. Also if they are out of town, blocking function does not do its job.

• Close your SNS account or make it private

This is something you have to do to avoid black mailing risk. Even if you are not working as a camgirl, it is not good idea to leave you SNS account public. You do not know who checks your information. You do not want internet troll to give an access to your private information.

•  Become a webcam model at foreign sites

If no one from your country visits to the site where you wok, you do not even need to worry about someone finds out you work as a cam girl. Of course, there is a language and cultural barrier. But it is worth trying as you can completely avoid risk that your friends and family find out about your profession. One we recommend is Japanese sites. There are many reasons why Japanese camming sites are better. But in short word, they are the highest spenders on porn and the sites are dedicated to Japanese viewers. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that your acquaintances will visit the sites.

In addition, Even if your show is recorded, the video is unlikely to be uploaded to the sites where your acquaintances visits as Japanese uses porn sites that are for Japanese. As the language is different, search term would not hit the video in your language  even if it is uploaded. We also take down the video if it is uploaded and submit DMCA to search engine to de-index the page.

Thus, working at Japanese webcam sites is the safest bet in terms of risk management.

How to find which sites do not have a traffic from my country?

Here is the site that you can find out if the camming site you are thinking to work at has any traffic from your country or not.

Similarweb

Just type the url of the camming site. Then it gives your where the traffic is coming from as %

Income is not stable

It is true that cam girl income is high. But because your income is not salary base, you have to earn money by yourself. Thus, you can not expect the same amount of money every month. Furthermore, even if you are online, that does not mean you can make money. There is wait time until customer enters to your room. In such sense, cam girl income is not stable

In addition, you need to plan how you spend your money wisely as you cant expect how much you will get next month. If you spend money without a plan, you will face difficulty when tax season comes. Always keep your money separate for tax.

Social acceptance

Webcam models as job is getting popular nowadays, but it is still socially not accepted job. Most of cam girls do not tell anyone that she is working as a cam girl. It is not good idea to write it in your resume too. So if you work as a cam girl, there will be blank time in your career.

Pros being camgirl

Here are great pros about being cam girl. These will outweigh the cons for this job.

• Time is flexible
• Safe and mentally relaxed
• Can make money as much as you put effort
• Age and appearance does not matter
• Can work from anywhere

Time is very flexible

Whenever you have time, you can make money. It does not matter morning time or night time if you choose right site. You can work as part time or full time. You can make your own schedule. If you are not good at waking up in the early morning, you can sleep in everyday working as a webcam model. Cam girl job is the best job for someone who wants to make money as a side. Part time cam girls work 2 to 3 hours a day for 3 or 4 days which makes more than their full time job usually.

Safe and mentally relaxed than night job

There are equally high pay jobs such as prostitution, stripping and hostess. But these jobs require you to talk customers face to face. It is much mentally easy to talk people online from home. Also because you do not physically meet and serve to people, you do not need to care about STD.

You can make money as much as you put effort

At cons, I wrote that the income is not stable. But on the other hand, it means you can make a lots of money if you put efforts in the right way.  Once you enjoy luxury life, it is difficult to go back to normal. I have seen many cam girls whose sense of money has completely changed and got used to the expensive life.  These models suffer from such experience when they quit working as a cam girl.

So, make sure you save money from being cam girl as your life of cam girl can not last forever.

Age and appearance does not matter

There are so many sites available in the internet world. You may think that you are not qualified to work as cam girl because of your age. But do not worry, there are sites that fits you. Each sites has strength and focus such as Milf, Black, BDSM and so on. find one that suit to who you are. Bongacams and chaturbate have varieties of niches that may fit to you.

Make sure, you make yourself neat and clean look. As long as you look clean and neat, there are demands for.

Your work place is anywhere

Ever dreamed working and traveling the world? This is the job that make your dream true. All you need is computer, HD webcam and internet. In fact, there are many camgirls who work while traveling. If you love traveling this is the job you may want to try.

Furthermore, Working from home is the best as you do not need to commute. Commuting can be hard sometime in rural areas. Also gasoline is not something cheap if you use a car everyday.

Outfits/clothing

It is good have many variation of Sexy lingerie and clothing to entertain the viewers. Depending on who you are targeting, you need to change what you wear. For example, if you are selling yourself as “a girl next door” type, you may want to wear a pair of jeans and t shirts. For the case of Japanese market, sexy cloth is not recommended. The viewers are there to see amateur models rather than pro models. Thus wearing sexy dress gives impression that the model is not amateur but pro. Wearing girly cloths is good for Japanese market.

Stage name

Hiding your identity is very crucial to avoid any troubles with viewers. You do not want to use your real name when you do camming. Make up stage name and sticks to it when you work in front of webcam.

Take ID pic and face picture that you are holding your ID next to your face.

When you register at cam site, you have to have these ready. You have to be over 18 to register. These pictures have to be clearly readable. Ids have to be issued from government. Also IDs have to be within expiration dates. Check your ID to see if your ID is still valid. If not, you need to renew your ID.

Prepare money receiving method

Depending on cam sites, you will have several options to receive money. The common way of receiving money is Paxum. But if you are living in US, you can not get Paxum account. In that case, you can also receive money through international wire transfer. But the there will be a fee to receive wire transfer.

Gallery pictures for your account

The gallery pictures are very important for 2 reasons. 1 reason is that these pictures show how attractive you are. There are so many cam girls. In other words, viewers have so many choices that they do not have to choose you. You need to appeal to viewers in any way possible to get customers.

Second reason is that these pictures show how good service you will do. The service level of cam girl varies greatly. From viewers point of view, they do not want to waste money but have good time. They do not want to spend money on models that do not meet their expectation. If no or little gallery pictures are there, viewers think that the model is not likely to provide good service.  So, gallery picture is one of the criteria that viewers check if they like to spend money or not.

Thumbnail picture for your room

Thumbnail picture is one that viewers check before they enter your room. This is like the sign board or a menu outside of the restaurant. It is the most important piece of success. When you go to a restaurant, you check a menu before you enter right? It is the same thing here. Viewers check thumbnail pic to decide if they enter your room or not.

Profile

The profile is the place where you can tell who you are and room rules. People do not know about you. If they know little about you, they may decide to know you more by talking to you. If you do not fill out your profile well, viewers think you will not provide a good service. You want to avoid that.

How to get customers?

Once you create your account, you are ready to make money. Just broadcasting does not get you an customer. You need to learn how to properly approach to customers. Not knowing how to properly wait is one of the biggest mistake that new cam girls make. Just waitting and proactively wait is different. The points when you wait are below.

• Be ready and make movement

When you wait in front of webcam till a customer enter, you will be probably bored. But do not play with your phone or computer. Instead, wave your hands or smile to people who have not entered to your paid room. People there will need to pay money to talk to you. If you do not look ready to talk or doing something else, noone will enter because they do not want to waste their money. You have to show that it is going to be fun to talk to you. If you work at tipping based site, show some skin. I mean I am not sayiung get naked completely. But show little bit of skin so that viewers will know what they get if they tip.

Here is the bad examples.

• Find topics that audiences are interested in

Your customers are not your friends, family , boy friends. They are the one who have a choice to talk to you or not to talk to you. So you have to find topics that are interesting to viewers. Most of you do not share the same interests with your customers because their ages and gender is different from you. So you need to research and learn topics that you can talk about.

Good topics that cover most of guys 

• Video games

Guys like video games. Most of them have played video game once at somewhere at their life stage. If you play video game, it is great. If not, you have to do research and find topics that you can talk about.

• Sports: Soccer, football, base ball, baxing

Sports can be good topics too. Also it is not difficult to do research. You can check news about recetn games on these sports and learn who is the good player and why they are good.

• Hunting

Hunting is a topic some guys would love to talk with you if you have little knowledge about it. Why? because hunting is not something that they can talk about with woman as hunting population of woman is very small. So learn about hunting bit and ask questions such as what is the biggest trophy that you have ever taken? or what is the tastest animal you have ever hunted and how you cook it?  They will love to talk and teach you.

• Fishing

Populaiton of woman doing Fishing is much smaller than that of man. But you may have fished in your life with your father or boy friend. You can talk about fishing asking questions such as the biggest fish you have ever caught.
