Sounds like you just had a slow day. You will have good days and bad ones. And i disagree with not showing or doing anything for free somewhat. To attract customers in your room you will have to show more to get them in there.. tease and show your best feature naked.. if you are on naked and giving a good show and you still dont get tipped then its just gona be a slow day for you... You can have a topic to see more like oil rub, bj tease, spanks, dance, close up tease or much more anything your comfortable doing. There are plenty of things you can do even when your already naked. If you do start getting tips then you can start changing your topic and say something like tip to keep my panties off and so on. Going on and expecting tips with clothes on is not going to work unless you have regulars who spoil you. Its a very competitive business. If the girl next to you is naked and your not customers will probably be more likely to stay in their room and not yours. You may have to reverse your strategy when you first go on and test it. Obviously if you already have a sold fan base and regular customers you should show less a lot more and give initiative to tip by not giving it for free to the rest of the viewers who dont tip makes the tippers feel more special your making it more personal that way...but your strategy will change the more successful you become so like I said you should try going on cam showing more and tease and see how it gos.
All of this is the worst advice in the world for a new model. Don't listen to any of this.
More traffic DOES NOT always equal paying traffic. There are days where I have had 250 people in my room and no one tipped. There was also a day where I happened to log in and made an absurd amount of money in two hours, He was one of like 30 people who was in my room when he started tipping.
Yes, you'll need to do things to attract people into your room, but that doesn't have to involve any nudity at all. Why should a member tip you if you're giving what they want to see for free? Sure there are a few members out there who will be nice, honourable, or appreciative and tip because they like what they see, but those people are so rare compared with the ones who just want to see something for free and will never ever tip.
Make really good use of the model tags. When members search for certain types of models or fetishes or whatever via tags, I have usually found them to be the type to want to tip a model for something specific.
"
Going on and expecting tips with clothes on is not going to work unless you have regulars who spoil you."
That part is complete and utter bullshit. When I started out as a model, I never got nude in public. If someone wanted to see nudity, they had to take me private. I made over $250 my first day, mostly from privates. No one got any preview flashes for free. I didn't have any regulars who "just wanted to spoil" me because it was my first day.
While I am not strictly non-nude in public chat, so long as tips for flashes or countdowns are met, I am non-nude the vast majority of the time and have been for the two years that I have been a model.
Another reason why this is terrible advice is because "regulars" are not necessarily the key to camming success. Of course it is great to have loyal regulars, I won't dispute that at all, but no matter what, you always need to make an effort to get new members to like and tip you if you want to succeed. Relying on regulars will only make both the model and regulars feel burned out and frustrated. For a new camgirl, you will be learning how to make new members, the trick is to learn to always continue making new members.
If the girl next to you is naked and your not customers will probably be more likely to stay in their room and not yours.
Again, terrible advice.
Unless you are watching another camgirl to learn from her, what other camgirls do in their rooms shouldn't matter at all when you are broadcasting.
Maybe that other girl is naked because members cleared her countdown. Maybe she's naked and has a hundred non-tipping members enjoying a free show. Maybe she's the type who is just better at getting more tips when she's already naked (very difficult!). None of that should matter to you though. If you're naked and only naked because she's naked, where's the benefit for that for you? Did you get any of the tokens someone else spent to get her naked? No. Just do you.
