To see your earnings and tokens increase, you have to be seen. This is the basis of being a camgirl: being visible and showing off on camera. And sometimes this is done with more pleasure than others, especially if you have affectionate feelings for one of your subscribers. So how do you turn a story of friendship or love into money?
It’ normal to pay more attention to some of our subscribers, especially if they are very friendly or particularly generous. Because let’s not lie, the primary purpose of camming is above all to make money. But sometimes, we might meet someone online who is more charming, engaging, funny, generous… than the others and we get attached. Which camgirl has never been emotionally involved, in friendship or in love, with one of her fans?! But we must not forget our objectives and we have to know how to transform this emotional beginning into real connection and into money.
Knowing how to seduce and attract
To be able to establish a real connection with a subscriber, you must first be visible and please your viewers. Smile, laugh, attract attention, entertain your audience, make them want to tip, it’s quite an art. Anyone who thinks it’s easy is either overflowing with sex and seduction, or a liar. More often than not, it’s the second.
And to make viewers more “generous”, they must be admiring, or, frankly, almost in love with us. When we subjugate them, they can become our sugar daddy, or at least add money to our daily pot. Therefore you have to lead them to develop feelings of admiration, friendship, lust and love. You have to know how to balance on a knife’s edge at times. And how to balance the duality of artists and confidantes.
Because we do have to wear both hats: we must make our fans fantasize but at the same time, we must be accessible enough to listen to them, console them, motivate them… like a therapist, a friend, or a confidante. Someone who knows how to juggle between the two has already won many points towards securing a future in camming.
An inevitable emotional investment
If you thought you were just going to turn on your camera, put on a show and raise money, then turn everything off and start again. As I said just above, you have to juggle two roles to be able to attract and retain your audience. And for that, there is no other choice than to get emotionally invested.
No, we won’t do it with all of them ! Because for a start not all of them are interesting or kind. Not all of them deserve the attention they demand. After those, you do have to invest emotionally, to a certain extent. Never make the mistake of falling in love, for example. We can have friendships, love (within reason) and have a real affection for our fans. But we must never forget that we are here first and foremost to make money.
But to be a good camgirl, you will have to devote a little more to your preferred fans, or those who are most generous with you. Pamper your audience and you will form a real connection with some of them which you’ll be able to convert into money more easily.
Friendship, love, incredible connection… Always respecting everyone
When a subscriber offers you a gift, tokens or tips, always be respectful and grateful. This person is making an effort and wants to please you thanks to the connection you have established with him. Whether these connections are authentic or not, each conversation and each tip they give allows you to learn a little more about each other.
Even if you are paid to charm, your viewers are the ones paying the bills so always be open and understanding. We may be behind a screen, but we’re still human and we have a heart (although robots are coming in camming!).
In addition, such emotionally enriching connections allow you to evolve, grow and develop both personally and professionally. So don’t hesitate to get to know your subscribers! Strive to create this true friendship not only because it will likely lead to money… But also because it will lead to personal happiness and growth. And even if you can simulate feelings in the long run, I advise you above all to be honest. Because it will make things much more pleasant for everyone. And you will more easily earn money.
Remember that tokens are equivalent to money, and not everyone is made of it. Remember that tipping doesn’t feed. Dress or even necessarily satisfy your viewer. You are not a necessity and you must respond to generosity knowing that most of the time, sacrifices are made in someone else’s life to allow you to live yours comfortably or to pursue your dreams.
