For all of my full-time camgirls: What made you decide to start camming full-time?

[LilyBlueBBW]

Good Morning or Good Evening(Depending on where you are in the world)

I am working for a man right now who is literally working my last 1/4 of a nerve and I can't take it anymore. I got hired by a dude out of Portland to do a WFH gig where I am basically calling up voters and seeing if they are going to vote and its literally the shittiest job ever. The man who hired me for the gig pays me when he wants to and that's generally 5 days after the fact and I am convinced that he is cheating me out of some money. The server is filled with issues and this dude won't even try to fix the issues until 2 to 3 hours after the fact. If I ask this cat about money or about the server, he almost never answers my text messages and when he does, its generally followed with a rude response. I kid you not, this cat was supposed to turn on the server around 2:15pm(EST) and he didn't do it until 4:02pm(EST) and when he did do it, it had no leads. It is now 6:18pm(EST) and the issue has still not been fixed. I can't work if the server doesn't work and I still have a whole light bill that is due TODAY! This man has put me in so much debt because of his bullshit and if I explained even the half of it, you would literally say WTF. Its not even worth the 9.50 an hour that he pays me when he feels like it!

I want to kill the man that hired me for this gig. I literally want to throw him in the portland river because I am so damn mad! I am looking around my apartment right now and the amount of things that need to be done in it would blow your mind. If it was not for doing a bit of camming last week, one of my light bills wouldn't even be paid.

I am seriously thinking about going into camming full-time. I don't know why I have that thought but I just need to do something else really quickly. I know that its a risky move but I got to fix the mess that I am in. I need someone out there to tell me all the pros and cons of going camming full-time. I need someone to tell me about some PSO or text companies or even some reputable WFH companies that are hiring, so I can have a good side hustle along with camming. I need one of you lovely ladies to tell me how I can go camming full-time and do it successfully.

I am scared as shit to even attempt going camming full-time but I got no other choice right now. I know that I will never be a top camgirl due to my color and my weight but I can attempt to make something work, I think. I am sorry if this post is all over the place but I am freaking the fuck out right now. I have been chest pains all week just thinking about my bills and how the dude that hired me for the WFH gig is just doing me all wrong. I am even crying right now. I am trying so hard to be a good adult and try keep a quote unquote normal job but I just can't work for this idiot anymore, its too damn scary.

Am I making a bad decision by even thinking about quitting the WFH gig? What would you do if you were me? Is it a crazy idea to even consider going into camming full-time? What was the decision that made you decide to go into camming full-time?

Thanks for coming to my tedX talk. I will go far away now.

Keep in mind that we are not all girls

That said, I hope that it is okay if I respond.

As I have said elsewhere, I did not get into this gig out of desperation, nor did I know where it would even go.

I got into it on a kind of dare and thought it would be fun.

I am 44 years old. My prime days are behind me for sure. I am a bit overweight and when I first got into this I had no idea how that it would all play out.

The reason that I did...and the short version of this story...is that a very dear friend of mine from a long time ago became a doctor. I was going through a very bad phase and she literally saved my life. So, how do you repay someone who does that?

The one thing that she had always told me (back before she became a doctor was that I should get into porn.

After she helped me out the subject got brought up again and I thought, I am past my prime, overweight and middle aged. Who in the Hell is going to want to see this? Let alone pay for it. lol

However...she wouldn't have the shy boy routine and just kept on encouraging me.

So in time, I decided to do a few videos. I put them up, took them down and put them up again. The last time I made a deal with myself, I will not take these down no matter what.

Much to my surprise I was getting high numbers of likes, views, etc.

So I decided that I would like interaction with people who were watching me. Camming seemed to be the logical step.

I have been doing it for two years now. I honestly cannot say that I have had a bad experience.

The clients, along with their kind words, tags, and 5 star reviews have all given me a confidence about myself that I never had before.

I have also been able to help some of them out with things like grieving, transitioning or figuring out their sexual preference.

Plus I have also had a lot of fun.

I won't lie, at first I was nervous as Hell, but I figured nothing ventured nothing gained.

I had not led what you would call a traditional life for a long time due to health issues. As a result I found other ways through art, writing, and researching to make money. So this would be one more "project" for want of better term. In my situation, I learned not everything that you do will work, but unless you try you will never know. I am VERY glad that camming has worked out for me in the way that it has.

Also, I was in a position where anyone who really knows me would have expected me to at least try something with porn and there would have been some who I daresay would have been slightly disappoint if I hadn't eventually tried something with porn. I say this part, because it is always a realistic situation on anything with the internet that there is always a chance that someone you know will find out and you have to make sure that you are absolutely comfortable with that.

Finally, when it comes to things such as age, weight, race, gender, sexual preference...trust me... there is a type for everyone out there. In fact, you may surprise yourself with exactly how many people's world's that you rock and like me, discover a confidence that you never knew that you had.

Having said that, personality will get you everywhere. It is about how you engage and interact with the clients. For me, sincerity is a big thing. I get it when they are insecure and may not be sure how to say what they want. I have been there myself. We all have been. The client is no different. So I always try to help them out if and when I can, fulfill a fantasy for them, and have fun.

I hope that this helps you out.

Take what you average on cam per hour. Figure out how much that would be of you worked fulltime hours on cam (that's usually more like 20-30 a week because there's extra offline work you need to do too).

Will that amount cover your survival costs right now?

If not, i hate to discourage you BUT I also think it will be too risky. You need to be sure your hourly will be enough to cover you.

Im sorry your job sucks so bad right now. I hope your able to make enough camming to quit. If not, I would work on developing a side hustle. PSO and sexting may suit you best but dont knock clip or audio files you can resell. These can make you $$ while you sleep. BUT they are not quick cash they're a slow build.


For PSO : Niteflirt.
Sexting: sextpanther

I should also add that years ago I did out and out telemarketing...so I do know well the stress of phone work of any kind. Back then if programs were down we would also call "get out the vote" campaigns.

Also, if you click on the link in my signature it will take you to my Streamate page where you can see my reviews etc.

If you look around on the site, it should also have links if you want to sign up.

I just really like the set up and the structure. It relies on more private shows which is my preference.

Again, I hope that this helps.

Went through a divorce and moved out quickly just to get away. Hated my job that I took so I could work nights and watch my son during the day (absolutely horrible sitter situation that I never wanted to place him in a similar situation). He had medical issues and I really needed something flexible so I could always be there for him.

I've always been a bit of an exhibitionist and even toyed with the idea of camming right around college and daaaaaamn I wish I would have followed through then. My boyfriend is also an exhibitionist and was intrigued so we cammed together to start out and then I felt bad that he was working full time just to come home to work again so I did solo. Original goal was $100/day to replace other job. Hit that no problem and moved goal post to $150 and so on.

You have to figure out all your expenses and see if it's reasonable that you can cover your bills if you quit your job. This is a stressful situation starting out especially with the influx of all the COVID models flooding the scene. Make sure you save as much as possible from the great shows to help cover the shit shows. I recommend saving 50% of income as your taxes will be higher self employed and it gives you a cushion. We recently decided to live off of my income while Mr dani saves/invests all of his income so we can retire early. Camming can be seriously awesome if you find your niche and members. Good luck!

Isn't minimum wage in Portland $15?? How is your shit employer getting away with paying $9.50?

I started camming full time because of a serious injury that's still giving me problems every day and I had to quit the job I had.
I used to work with horses and the money was pretty bad for what I had to do every day, working 10-16 hrs per day, having to stay up all night long with a sick horse or wake up at 3 am to prepare for a competition. I was sick of working my ass off physically and the mental toll it took was horrendous. I had no life outside my job, no time for myself and things I wanted to do and on top of that, because the money was so shit and I never got paid overtime, I had to do side gigs such as ghostwriting, logo design etc etc. I'd literally sleep 3 hrs per night if I could and weekends weren't off either because of competitions or some other crap my bosses would find that had to be done.

Then the injury happened and it was like a ticket out of the horse world. A week later I caught my then partner on cam sites and after the initial shock and argument, we came to an idea to do it together and spice things up, so he wouldn't visit the sites anymore.
Signed up, did a few couple shows but he was always late or working and couldn't make it for when he said he could so I just said I'm going to do it on my own, since I am in a foreign country and don't really know or want to do much else as I'm in pain and can't really do many things I know how to, and he agreed.
So that's how I got into it and decided it will be a full time gig.
Since then (Dec 21) I built up more than 12k followers and have like 18 sites/fan clubs/support pages open + my own website trying for success.


A year ago I'd laugh if someone told me I'd be working in adult industry but now I wouldn't change a thing. I love it, I love all my supporters and fans and can't imagine not doing this. It's fun, I get to be my own boss and do what I want, whenever I want to. I finally have time for myself and can do things and hobbies I've given up long long time ago due to work.

One thing is for sure -it's not easy money, and there will be days or even weeks where money and traffic can be super slow, but there can also be days or weeks where both are amazing. It's a very up and down thing and if you are in debt already, I'd suggest finding something different, even a part time job + camming to have at least one stable stream of income, camming can really be a hit or miss, and you never know how much and when you will get paid.

^One example of a WFH job you'll find on those sites is the Cambly tutoring job. You can log into the platform whenever you want, and you don't really have to tutor. You're pretty much just in a live video chat with a person, having an everyday conversation with them because they just want to practice their English speaking skills. You'll chat with people from all over the world. Cambly Kids, on the other hand, might be the one where you're expected to use actual lesson plans or whatever, but I'm not sure.

I know it'll sound weird for me to be mentioning Craigslist, but I recently made $50 participating in one of those mock jury focus groups that I found in a CL listing. I can't remember if it was in the 'Jobs' category or the 'Gigs' category. It was a live video chat on Zoom with a group of people, and it lasts for 3 hours. The next morning I got paid $50 via Venmo. I really like it when I can get money in my pocket same-day or next-day, which is why I hate that Cash App, PayPal, and Venmo aren't adult-friendly. Also...sometimes I'll see job listings on Craigslist and on Facebook from people looking for someone to help them move. There are also people looking to find an occasional "date night sitter" to watch their kids for a couple of hours (SitterCity, local Facebook groups, etc.). When the schools are closed, my sister's other income is delivering people's groceries via InstaCart, and there is an instant cashout option to get paid quickly.

I'm seeing a lot of ladies on cam forums saying they're making money doing sexting, phone calls, and/or video calls on SextPanther. But payout is only twice a month.

I can't seem to make money on token sites anymore, and those are the type of cam sites that I feel are a better fit for me...so it's frustrating as hell. And now I feel like I wasted money upgrading to faster Comcast Xfinity internet when I probably didn't have to do that in the first place. Even with better internet, a better cam, and better lighting now than what I've had before, I'm not even clearing room topic goals the way I did back in 2013. Can't even make a measly 400-token mini naked goal...when back in 2013 I could make that in like 20 minutes.

The only reason I'll even be able to go to Six Flags today is that I made some recent sales on eBay and Facebook Marketplace. By the way, if you ever need to borrow money asap (that you'll be able to pay back in a week), check out The Dave App. It will let you borrow $100. There's a similar app called Float Me. Both of these apps are better than resorting to a payday loan (Those payday loans are horrible with their ridiculous interest rates).

I hope that things get better for you soon.

Hi. I'm sorry to hear that this asshole is fucking with your money. I wonder if I've seen that WFH gig listing in one of the WFH blogs that I follow/get e-mail newsletters from. I don't know if you're familiar with any of these WFH blogs, but check them out and sign up for their free e-mail newsletters so you can get the latest WFH job leads sent to your e-mail address often:

In addition to these WFH resources, a lot of “vanilla” jobs that used to require on-site staff are now open to WFH candidates. The pandemic taught many businesses that their office work could be done reasonably well by remote workers. And in a lot of cases, they save some overhead cost by not having to maintain as much office space. So you might find more WFH options in traditional job listings as well.

I don't have time to go into it - and you def don't have time to read it - but basically the horrible soul-sucking shit show of the vast majority of "straight" jobs I've ever had. I love camming, so it's a nice change of pace!

I'm trying to make this my full time because of CPTSD & a whole bunch of other things I hate working under people and need flexibility. About two months in. It's been a ride. And yeah I'm an exhibitionist lol
