What's "many" tokens? Be specificIn how many days did you start grtting many tokens?
Yes and no. Longer I've been a model, the fewer lows I've had and more consistent income for the hours put in. My hourly average has only gone up. I know my average hourly take and usually base the performance of the show on that.There is no consistency in camming, ever. I've had days where I've streamed for 5 hours and made $8 and I've had days where I've streamed for 30 minutes and made $600....... Don't expect consistency in this industry.
This is funnily enough something some people fail to realize when they start a business. Startup and running costs will eat into your revenue, and finding the right balance between earning and spending is (or should be) a daily chore. I've seen a few small customers go bust because they seemed to think that revenue equals profit. It sounds totally obvious to most people that it isn't so, but there you go ...Also consider that you need to put money back into it to make more money
This is amazing advice thank you for taking your time to post this! I 100% agree with everything you say. I think of my show as tv show too. Not even men want to watch a girl masturbate for hours. Learn small talk and always keep your room talking instead of your self. Being a conversationalist is key to being successful. I’m not saying put your life story out there but talk about where people are from, the weather, what you or they are doing today, but always bring the conversation, playfully back to your show once in a while.Hi!
I have been camming since April of this year,
and it still is up and down for me.
Which is normal in any business venture as you can see
from what people say above.
My best advice is to stream as often as you can
around as consistent a schedule as possible.
Save money, (SO important when it's slow!)
and create a way to make passive income
(photo/video sales, fan club, things like that.)
Keep changing things up, even if it's just the angle
or decor. Viewers notice and it gives you something to talk about.
Project confidence on screen and stick to your rates.
Focus on adding value, not reducing price - as there
will always be a viewer wanting more for less.
It's ok to say "no I'm not doing that for a token"
when people tip a token and make demands.
Passive income makes it a lot easier to
make money when you're not online.
You could be anywhere and somebody
subscribes to your fan club or gets a photo = profit.
It's really important to know statistically what works.
What times of day /type of shows are more profitable?
When are people following /viewing /tipping most?
Statistics sites are really helpful for this.
Look at your target audience - what do your top tippers have in common?
When I did this, I noticed a lot. But it looks different for everybody because we are all different.
Are viewers requesting a niche item?
It may be worth it to bring it out.
I was often asked "do you have heels"
so I brought out my ultra high "exotic dancer" heels-
people loved it and it gets tips! Things like that.
Be authentic and show what you are passionate about.
If the audience is saying a lot of the same 'feedback' type
things in a non-rude way, it may be worth it to take a look.
I was constantly getting comments about the webcam quality
so I upgraded. If you aren't sure if people can see/hear you it's ok to ask them.
There was a day my sound was off and I didn't realize it til I asked the audience!
I like to sit down and take time to follow all my tippers.
But also look at data. Who tips? What times are busiest? What do they tip for?
And what can I connect with each of them over?
Think in terms of TV production/cinematography.
Also lighting for video. Good lighting, but also lighting with a unique vibe will draw people in.
As models, it's important to create dynamic shows that will keep people watching.
Reality TV is really good at creating suspense and drama that keeps viewers hooked.
Learning about this and applying it to camming helped.
Research is so important and you have the right idea with this!
With camming, I noticed bringing some of that 'suspense ' helped.
Things like guessing games, prize wheels, and easily reachable goal shows help.
A long, slow undress with unexpected layers. The 'will they or won't they' factor gets views!
I'm still figuring this out too and would love to hear more responses.
You got this & all the good vibes!!
Best,
Ava
Also, don’t worry about what other models are making. I’ve noticed a lot of new models on CB and I don’t think they realize how many tokens there are to go around and how many people are actually on CB ready to pay. The best feeling in the world is when I had an amazing day on cam, and I check other rooms after I log off and see you that other models had a crazy amazing day too!! It’s such a great opportunity and chaturbate is the best cam site out there hands down. So my fans are different from yours, for the most part some guys like to go visit other girls but I don’t like to nag about it too much so I just try to make their experiences as good as i can in my room.This is amazing advice thank you for taking your time to post this!

I’m no expert but I do ok, at one point I was making $1000 an hour for a month!!! was crazy and I made it look easy but trust it took a lot of focus and hard work to get to that point. I’ve been doing this for 4 years!!! I never intended to do this for that long, but it’s been good. Stressful sometimes, but so worth It.
Also I don’t mind other models putting out how much they make, it sets goals for myself. I know I’m not going to reach them overnight, but I get closer the more I stay consistent.
the most important thing when you are live is to focus on your show, not anyone else’s. It’s ok to watch other rooms once in a while to see what the vibe on the website is, but when you are live, stay focused. Have fun with it though and don’t take it to seriou
Also making it look easy is super hard. To stay restrained, confident, and positive even when things are challenging.
Kiss = keep it stupid simple.
My shows are never planned out and are never complicated, I go with the flow and with the vibe of the room, or try to be in my best mood.
Don’t be afraid to take a break, even if you have to step off for a few minutes.
Don’t even let anyone in your room make you feel bad for what your are doing. This is your show not theirs, especially if they are not paying you.
When I used to work in financial sales, a mentor me when I’m selling something there are 3 steps
1. Make them feel like they need it
2. Tell them how easy it is to get it
3. Tale the opportunity away example: “we can do this now or later”
4. Remind them they can have what they want now
so when you are having a bad day, think of your other job or last job and think about how much more money per hours you made camming. That will keep you going. Step back and be humble if I’m having a really bad day I remind myself that $100 a day is a lot to some people. But I still will change things up the next day to try and do better, I use obs to record my shows, and I watch myself and see how i did.

This is so true! There's a viewer out there for every model, which is part of why I love that site/camming.Also, don’t worry about what other models are making.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that the situation changes for you ASAP.I'm new and I go for 0 tokens to 1000. But I'm chill because my country has a low cost of living and the dollar it's always skyrocketing. If I lived in the US I would be homeless. I earn less than an American new model even though I speak English and look Caucasian, simply just because I don't know well American people, which tend to be the audience with the most $.
same to me. want to cry about my incomes and sometimes I think I never will reach some good results on US sites. but I hope such advice and all above will help me to improve that)I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that the situation changes for you ASAP.
About the last sentence. I assume that you're from Europe. I am, too. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If you are, I recommend you to learn that weird thing called "small talk".
"Small talk" is non-existent in my country (I'm from Western Europe).
And I fucking hate this thing, it's not what I've been taught.
But you can learn and get used to it.
It helps to improve your communication with American people because a small talk is no big deal for most of them. If you don't communicate the way they're used to, they may decide to move on really quickly, especially considering that there are TONS of models.
Google it, find good simple examples, practice.
Any conversation with them starts right there. And you'll see eventually if a person you're talking to is worth your time or just another timewaster.
Good luck
