I would just add a note that.... aside from first time nerves and shyness, which are natural... if you are GENUINELY uncomfortable doing something on cam, if it crosses real boundries for you - DONT DO IT. Not only for your own sanity, but when guys watch us on cam - if we are NOT enjoying it they can tell. They tip for girls who feel genuine being who they are.
Is it easy to be a girl who doesnt take pvts, and doesnt do shows? No.
Can it be done? Yes. If you can find a creative way to be unique
I do a lot of bdsm shows in my room. recently I've noticed i have MANY members who admit they are NOT into my kink. They do not find it a turn on. Confused I have asked them why they are in my room, night after night watching me do it then? They tell me it's because they can tell its getting me off, and i genuinely enjoy it, and they like learning new things.
So please, do not feel you have to put yourself into a situation that makes you hate this job just to make money.
have a STRATEGY to raise your camscore. What worked for me (over a year ago now) was the following strategy:
Shows that got me noticed in the top 20 rooms. At the time I was doing this it meant car shows, airport shows and outdoors a lot. Now these are more common so more creativity is called for.
Getting my guys to understand what my camscore meant, and why it needed to be raised and how to raise it. Offering rewards for when we hit certain goals, and for offline tips.
Knowing how much I needed to make per hour to maintain my camscore, and logging off when It went significantly below that.
Creating a fan club type atmosphere in my room.
Offering things that would encourage large tips.
Being on regularly. Though I didn't manage to maintain a regular schedule I was on 5-6 days a week at relatively similar times.
Exposure at conventions, camgirl mansion etc. Twitter, Tumblr, a well put together profile and content to sell.
I hope this helps!
