Amber, so basically, those who can't do it on their own...just fuck em, right?
Why did I go to school for so many years, I should have just gone to the library
Honestly, yeah. If they cannot figure out, oh well. Fun fact, if you look up most new models complaining about not making any money on mycamgirl.net, you can see their hours online sucks and they aren't putting the effort in. They log off after barely an hour.
We get models on here and other forums we frequent who have to be spoon-fed information. They will post a thread about every topic under the sun without doing any simple research on their own. They are an adult, this is their business. About 99.9% quit. We will also go out of our way to help them, and they still don't listen or apply our advice.
If you go to school, you probably shouldn't avoid the library. It's a great resource place to expand your knowledge.
I think you don't really understand what help means.
If I were to shove your great list to a model that needs help, she would look at me the same way I'm reading your post and ask me whaaaat?
Really, they wouldn't understand the basics? I'm sorry your clients lack reading comprehension skills.
- "Get decent lighting, try it out at different angles to get the best lighting for you (which doesn't blind you)" - OMG - what is decent lighting, what makes it decent, decent reported to what, what kind of bulbs, why not set de webcam differently, where to buy them from, why is decent lighting better than partially dark (as so many models use), etc, etc , etc... How to setup partial darkness, how to change angles, how to manage sunlight when camming OMG...
Unlike most models, they probably didn't take a stage lighting class like I did. But with a simple youtube search, you can find so many visual tutorials to find different lighting techniques. It's also trial and error on their part. I'm constantly looking up different lighting techniques to improve my stream. If you look at the lighting tricks thread in public, you will see there is PLENTY of information and answers.
- Make sure you have a fast enough computer to get good quality - what makes a computer decent, what software to use, why use that screen and not another since it creates soooo many different issues...
Most camsites already post the required pc specs to have a decent stream and tutorials in their help section. We have answered lot of decent streams. We also help models when they are in the market for a new computer and help them find decent deals.
- Make sure your internet is fast enough - what is fast enough, how do I know which isp to pick, which package, what is guaranteed up speed, how to test, how to understand their offers
We also go into more detail here on that too...
- Get a decent webcam, there aren't many to choose from and that information takes about 5 minutes to find out which one to get. - Again...search this forum and you will see why your answer is just....
Because not everyone uses the same equipment. Like how not everyone uses the same computer. We are just sharing what works best for us.
- Watch other cam models for research - There is a lot of work involved in a successful room, and the important thing is that it looks effortless: you can't peek behind the curtain without seeing the curtain. Also...cam models tend to have those 3 6 7 regulars who constantly help, without them they will drop like rocks. Of course those are the result of their work but still, you can't compare or expect the same treatment when you're not popular.
Without regs, you would drop like rocks? Any good model knows that customer conversion is how you stay at the top and not to depend on a handful of regs. Because they will eventually go. Once upon a time, popular models were unpopular models... Watching models give you show ideas, ballpark idea what to charge, how they interact with their customers, how they market themselves, sex appeal, ect.
- Put on some makeup, underwear and a top (I'm sure most girls can manage this without assistance) REALLY? : are you aware that there are at least 6 colors that the webcams aren't able to manage properly from software and that are a definitely NO NO if you're camming? no shapes and the webcam adjusts the others in the room? Didn't you ever wonder why whenever you're setting your webcam before logging, no matter what you do you can't really get that great look that you had yesterday? That is why my dear, you had no proper training and no curiosity to dive deeper into understanding what camming can be. MAKEUP - this is just to easy...sooo many things girls don't understand when it comes to screen makeup compared to street makeup, and even rather- should you even wear it? etc.... What makeup with what kind of lighting...
I like to wear eye bugging clothes on cam, like tiny stripes! If someone complains, I remind them they are clothes and they come off. Usually people who are into me, digs it. When I dyed my hair deep purple, it looked pretty neat on cam when patches of purple couldn't pick colors. Customers seemed not to care and thought it looked cool. About the makeup, Youtube tutorials. Also I wear street makeup all the time on cam when I'm too lazy to glam. Yesterday I made over $500 in 3 hours and I was just wearing chapstick and mascara.
- Log on and start chatting and doing shows. -WOW that is just....WOW
We tell new models all the time that they will learn as they go. They will figure out what does and doesn't work, they need to apply it. I know WOW!
- Accept that it is work and therefore you will need to put in the time, effort and energy to keep it going. HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW
Really? How to put in the time? How to put in the effort? How to put in the energy to keep going? Okay... umm set a time block to work and schedule... keep it and don't give up when it gets slow? It isn't rocket science. Top models do all have one thing in common, consistency. You'll see a model shoot up on the ranks, but quickly fall because she doesn't put in the time, effort, and energy. I see it all the time.

Dude, you are only valuable to models who don't want to put in the work. It's not that they are new, it's that they are lazy or incredibly naive.
Now you don't know what goes on in the model only section. There is a time frame on posting to join, but we actively answer and help new models in the public threads. A lot of us do go out of our way to help them. I personally do this, because when I started, I had models that helped me and help mold me into the cammodel I have become today. This is more then just a help forum. This is a community.
PS. The reason why there is so much different information is because we are coming from our own personal experience. What one thing, may not work with others and vice versa.
