I have been on cam myself (albeit not long, only for a few days), I just decided it wasn't for me for now, however, I know I want to have a career in the sex community, I just don't think streaming or clips is my niche. I'm writing erotica, and I'm writing a lot about sexual health, and I'm interested in other niches unrelated to direct streaming or clips. I've had clip stores open before (I've actually been meaning to take down my vids on there. They were low-quality, low-quantity, and ofc didn't turn a profit bc of that. But I couldn't help but feel like I didn't *want* to up my game, I just wanted to stick to my beloved writing.)
Even though you have done a ton of research you can't have that experience to teach others,
Unlike some other fields just doing academic studies is not going to give you an indication of what it really is like: Yeah, this has definitely crossed my mind as well. I could see it working out better if it was, say, somebody I met IRL who had expressed interest to me. However, I would then be in a weird moral grey area, where it would feel weird to charge them?? So yeah I agree in one sense, but I also have a lot of unique ideas that I actually haven't seen being done. But I agree that unlike some other fields just doing academic studies is not going to give me an exact indication of what it really is like. That's part of why I'm writing this thread, to gather opinions and see if this even actually
*is* a plausible idea and if there
*is* something I could offer someone who joins my studio that they cannot get by themselves . No matter what I'm going to stick with my writing and sexual health research, as that is my heart and my biggest niche, but I did think it would be cool to add another 'hustle' for myself if I could find one that I could fit in
I'm not sure if you need to be a cammodel exactly, but Boleyn according to their site/blog ARE looking for contributors for blogposts etc. However I do agree that not having cammed yourself, could be an issue with trying to teach others. Oh, cool! I have a whole 5=subject notebook written of tips and tricks I was going to use when I thought I wanted to be a cammer. I'm sure I have a lot of content I could whip up, so I'll look into their application process and see if they'd be happy to have me as a non-model, and f not, I'd totally understand.
How about affiliate marketing? You want to help us models, that would be a great way. We are always complaining about wanting better traffic. Lol. Yes, yes yes, I would love that! Now that specifically I have to be honest- I haven't looked much into. How would I go about doing this? I'm going to be affiliate marketing with places like Smitten Kitten, Sliquid, Good Clean Love, etc. on my blog, but how would I go about doing this for a cammodel or clipstar directly? And what are the payouts for this like out of curiousity?
One dude tried setting his how-to-cam blog to get a piece of that cam pie but eventually learned he needs actual Cammodels to coach and write blogs after being chewed out for bad advice and not getting the traffic he wanted. He definitely sounds like a douchenozzel lol. Or maybe just a little socially behind. It makes me think of the guy on stripperweb who wrote the thread about a, "Great cam opportunity" trying to find a girl to be a couple with him on cam and split the money lolol. And then somebody roasted him like, "You know us girls have dick lined up for days, right???" Lmao.
