When you start out as a camgirl or camboy, there are some questions that come up regularly. People sometimes have moments of doubt and it’s legitimate to ask questions. So let’s go through the 10 common questions that we often ask ourselves as a camgirl or camboy.

You have launched yourself into the job of being a charming camgirl, or you wish to do so. But you’re overwhelmed with 1000s of questions. Here, I will respond to 10 common questions camgirls often ask themselves. You want to begin but you’re hesitating. You’re not earning enough money and don’t understand why. Or maybe you simply wish to stop. You’ve come across some problems. You don’t know which platform to use, etc. In short, here you’ll find the answers to your questions.

 

N°1: How can I stay anonymous? Should I hide my face?

It’s a legitimate question. Staying anonymous can be a realistic desire when you don’t want to be recognised. However… put yourself in the shoes of web users. Besides the fact that cam shows are all about showing your body (and pretty quickly naked), you should create a link with your subscribers. This is how you will have the best chance of building client loyalty. They need to feel confident and have the impression that they have a real relationship with you. Unless you find a clever or funny way to hide, it’s hard to imagine being faceless.

If you are ever afraid of bumping into someone you know, many platforms offer to block visitors in a geolocalised way. That way there’s less risk of being seen by your neighbour or your cousin!

 

N°2: What is the procedure for a webcam session?

The process is quite simple. When you log on to your platform, you will appear as “Online”. And “Offline”, of course, when you log out. Visitors see that you’re online and come to chat with you. They can also offer you tips and tokens according to their affection for you and their requests.

Although the mode of payment varies depending on your platform, there are a few common types. This way you can get:

• Private shows: payment per minute with one or multiple clients
• Tips: tipping for you to do this or that action (strip tease, caresses, spanking…)
• Purchases: of photos, videos, etc.

 

N°3: My income isn’t high enough. How can you earn more?

This can come from different factors. Do you log on often enough? What types of shows do you offer? What do the best camgirls do that I don’t do? Do I have the right clothes? The right attitude? Etc., etc… You might be making some common beginner errors. If you’re ever unable to really find the cause, you can always ask for the help of your platform, which can give you some advice.

 

N°4: How do you get your money?

You have several options for receiving your payments. Some platforms offer solutions that facilitate withdrawals. Don’t hesitate to ask them. And don’t forget to declare your income!

If not, among the existing methods these are frequently used:

• Paxum: often considered to be the best method, offering the benefit of a real account. Functioning like an online account, you get a MasterCard bank card which lets you manage your purchases and withdraw money.
• Virement: easy, practical, simple. But some platforms don’t offer this option.
• PayPal: offered by some but not all. Also, there are fees for running costs that you pay when you withdraw your earnings. Unless you pay for your purchases directly online with your account.
• Cheque: not a very popular solution. Especially the time it takes to receive them. Then only being able to use it once it’s deposited in a bank. Which also like to take commissions on top. I’d advise you to avoid using cheque.

 

N°5: Is going freelance a good idea?

This is indeed one of the 10 common questions. I’ve already answered this question in this article. But, to summarise, going freelance will probably be quite expensive and risks costing you your anonymity. Platforms take a part of your income but for a good reason. They give you access to well developed tools. They also think about your safety.

But if you really want to do it, here are two solutions that might satisfy you:

• The “homemade” method: you make your own site, with a publisher like Model.cam for example. You introduce yourself, add a payment method and a link to your video profile (like Skype). Don’t forget to protect your personal data.
• The “star” method: you have enough money to pay for a developer (and especially to find the right one). You ask for a system to display your webcam in real time on your site. They will also set up a secure payment system so that your visitors can access content privately or pay you.

But as I said before, this is not advised.

 

N°6: How to avoid clients who just want to chat?

Well, your time is money. So if you spend all your time just chatting, that’s nice, but you won’t make very much money, or even none at all. While visitors are able to log on without paying, the ultimate goal is still for them to put their hands in their pockets. If you can’t rule them out, think of them as potential future customers. So, even if they’re nice, push them smartly to spend their money for you. Temptation, temptation!

 

N°7: What’s the best platform for gay camgirls or camboys?

Not all sites offer webcam shows for camboys and camgirls. So you’ll need to choose your site well.

 

N°8: How can I have confidence in myself when I go for it?

You’re just starting, you’re hesitant, shy. And as a result, your lack of self-confidence shows. In addition, some people will want to take advantage of it. Unfortunately, I don’t have a magic formula to share with you, I can only advise you to take the plunge and… be daring! Experience comes with trying. And little by little, you’ll find the confidence that you lacked at the beginning.

 

N°9: Why am I asked to scan my ID card when I sign up?

Simply put, because camming platforms are for adults only. So they just want to make sure that you’re not 15 and that it’s legal for you to use the site. It’s for them to protect themselves and not to spy on your private life, don’t worry.

 

N°10: I don’t think I’m really beautiful. Can I become a cam model anyway?

You’d be surprised by the diversity of tastes in nature. If you only see your faults, others will see your assets and charm. So yes, you can go for it, no matter what your body is like or your disability is. Besides, your difference may well also become your main asset.

 

Now that you know the 10 most common questions often asked by camgirls and camboys and you have the answers, it’s up to you!
