Eh, my best advice (still consider myself very new) is to set boundaries before you ever even turn on your camera.
Know what you're okay with doing and what you're not, examples - I don't do roleplays (rarely Ill accept if I believe the user will communicate back easily), I always say no the n-word, I don't do humiliation, degrading,. money begging, domination etc. These are things I tried in the past that made me uncomfortable honestly. Instead, I know how I want to come across during my sessions.
I'm a nice gal, I welcome people like ''hi xxx, how's your day?'' - good morning xxx, so happy to see your name pop in here again'' etc. I'll have the same people stop in my room 2-4 times a day for a quick chat honestly. Be careful though - it's hard to fall into the trap of welcoming every user because you'll start to notice that a lot of people might not answer you back. At that point, other members that come into your room can tell that you're looking discouraged. If this starts happening, I'll grab some oil or lotion and apply it to my legs or my neck area and get up closer. It's much harder for someone to tell that you aren't super pumped, if your face isn't in frame haha. That will usually pick my room back up.
Just like when they ask me how I'm doing, I'll never say ''I'm good'' or ''I'm great'', it's more ''Aww, it's been so nice today, thank you for asking! I've been chilling, chatting, having some real fun times today, still feeing a bit horny, very happy''.
When it comes to saying no to these boundaries, I always try to still sound sweet and welcoming. I've entered others rooms and heard ''No I don't do that'' without further explanation and it doesn't sound good to me.
Example - if a person asks to humiliate them and their little penis, I'll nicely ask them to refer to my bio because I don't do humiliation... because I'm such a sweet girl with a big heart, and my mind legitimately will not allow me to think of the words to say. But, with that being said - I know there's a whole slew of other amazing models on here, that would love to humiliate you and you'll be happier with the money spent too.'' I know how long that looks, but this would be closer to what my answer genuienly always is. Include a nice smile and some laughter inbetween. Honestly, most times that specific user is gone before I'm done talking - I don't care about that user, our wants don't align HOWEVER, there's usually someone else or multiple other people in the room hearing you say this, those are the members i'm focused on.. It sounds more inviting, more real and it does make the other members reach out to you often as well. They like hearing things that they usually don't, they like explanations and talking. You're a real person this way and I believe it makes guys come back to me. If you set boundaries before you get on, you can prepare for the best way to answer that will still make you sound nice - if that's what your aim is.
During exclusives - I'm completely over the initial feeling of cam2cam, meaning that shit used to petrify me haha. Now I use it to my benefit. If they do cam2cam, they're most likely going to stay in the exclusive longer. I hate not doing cam2cam, unless they text a lot so I know how into it they actually are. No communication is what will drag me into a dark mindset, matter of fact - I always leave notes after every session and if they didn't talk, I'll notate it for myself and most likely won't waste my time again because I get more nervous as the minutes go by without anything being said. Anyways, on to the good stuff - I'll try to ask for their name before the exclusive starts(SAVE IT IN NOTES, they love to be remembered), if II'm doing a BJ, I'll always ask them which type of BJ turns them on, again while playing with the dildo and sounding cute, giggly, sexy whatever. Blowjobs are for sure my thing though too.
I do not accept every exclusive either, members will often hear an exclusive request and start saying goodbye to me, assuming I'm headed into one. I'll reject an exclusive until I know what they're into. It puts me in the position of either saying no, or it gives me a chance to think of the right direction to take the exclusive while I drink some water, which is routinely what I'll do before I accept their exclusive. It gives me that minute to collect myself. Before I accept, my last thing is spending just a couple of seconds on acknowledging the members currently in my room, let them know I'll be back and I'll send a nice kiss their way. This way they don't just get left, and I've heard good feedback on that too.
I NEVBER greet a member and ask them to take me exclusive. Fuck that, I'll stay in free chat and talk to everyone, keep conversation running until someone wants me for themselves. This is again just my perspective, but I personally don't like entering rooms and the girls sounding desperate to go exclusive. The way I lead my room is just based upon things I've seen, that I don't like myself. I remind myself to never do the things I don't think sound good.
If you smoke, get fucking high, okay? Load your bowl, smoke off screen, load a 2nd bowl lol. I stay high usually the whole time, otherwise I'm too shy. In real life, I'm super fucking shy, like the only person that has nude pictures of me is my boyfriend of 5 years. Now you can find me online, yikes it's a big change haha.
Just like you remember your weekly customers if you're a waitress, cashier, bartender etc. remember your regulars, or the ones that could turn into regulars. It might make their day.
.YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE NAKED OR IN YOUR FUCKING LINGERIE IN FREE CHAT. Excuse my language but ladiiiies, that's what the exclusive is for, let them pay to see your special goodies. I'll tease and show a little every so often, but in free chat - I'm clothed. I'll wear long dresses, short dresses, big tee's, dress it up with some earrings or a necklace to highlight collar bones, neck etc. Small details matter even if we forget sometimes.
I'll leave this with what I find most impressive - my room and background is boring af. I use my office, the only thing you can see is my grey couch and my blank wall behind me. My camera is zoomed in, so you typically only see me from face and down to the boob/stomach area, unless I'm sitting on my couch. Most times I end up on the floor right in front of the camera, just feel less exposed haha. My featured picture is always tame, I don't show tits, ass, anything like that. Usually I throw up a peace sign and make sure my face is not in view.
Invest in equipment.
I have a 4k Canon camera, a tripod so I can easily move it hoewver I need to. I have 2 sets of lightning (professional grade) and they stay on during my whole session. Invest into a good microphone, I use one that's known for being good with streamiers specifically. Lastly, when you do/if you have a microphone, make sure you test it. Use an audio recording on your computer, so you can make sure the sound is coming through just how you want it.
About sound - if you have music going in your room - TURN IT DOWN. I have musiv playing but I make sure it's on a low setting, so it's not bothersome when people enter my room. I notice men like rock, which I do too - so it works. But if you listen to a lot of girly, love music, it might not be what they want to forcibly listen to in order to be in your room. And when the sound is already bad, loud music makes it 1000x worse.
A lot of what I have shared is also things I've been told by several members and reasons of why they come back to me - the way I spoke about other models earlier ''I know there's a whole slew of other amazing models on here, that would love to humiliate you and you'll be happier with the money spent too.'' is ALWAYS how I speak of other models to members, I never put other models down, it's just bad juju and we don't want to deal with any bad vibes when we are on camera.
This was long and honest, probably the only long comment I'll leave. I hope this does not hurt anyone, I am just trying to be honest and open in what works for me and how I run my room.
