I'm writing this not as the most successful cam model in the business, but as a cam model who has seen way too many models fail. I'm also referring to female models, males have different challenges plus a different clientele.*break*Â
Why did I start?
I have been a cam model for about ten years. My situation was that I had a full time career type job, but I needed additional funds for a boob e [...]
We all create a Twitter when we create our camgirl persona. I did. But I let mine sit dormant aside from posting a picture of myself every couple times I got on mfc for almost a month and a half. I had NO idea that Twitter was a money making marketing tool that only required a couple hours of startup time. I am going to tell you how to turn your Twitter into that tool. First, I'm going to explai [...]
Time and time again, cam models make the same mistakes. Then they're constantly asking 'Why is my traffic not tipping? Why don't have I have viewers? Should I be doing a show for are the freeloaders?' and on and on the question list goes.Let's get straight to it. If you find yourself questioning your cam shows, then read below for some insightful tips on how to fix your mistakes.

Don't Quit Your Day Job
People don't give enough credit to camgirls. It's tough work and success doesn't come overnight. Many people have given up quickly because they didn't see instant results. You may be a gorgeous, talented, charming, sexual person, but you are a complete unknown competing with models that have been doing this a lot longer than you have. My recommendation is that you cam du [...]
My personal experience I had a really rough time when I got kicked out of my house the week after I turned 18. My mother has always been an amazing and strong woman, but many of her views are bigoted and she has completely different logical conclusions than I. She was really the venom of my life. When I was trying to be a positive and happy person, she would destroy it every chance she got. I do [...]
I got this letter and I just wanted to share it with you:
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is David Billings. My main account is Virgil68 on LiveJasmin. I am writing to you today out of an overwhelming sense of gratitude to a member of your industry. You see, she helped save my life. I completely understand this isn’t the function of your industry; I’m not suggesting that. [...]
While people may tell you that just "being yourself" is great for success on any camming site, and while that is generally the case, you also want to develop what makes you special on your site or as a model in general. Your shtick, so to speak - the one thing that makes you different from the thousands of models out there.

It is said that Attitude is everything and it is the absolute truth when talking about being a successful Cam Model. It has taken me about two and a half years as a cam model to realize just how important it is, and how to go about preparing myself mentally before I turn on my cam for the day. This mindset applies whether you are an indy model or one who works for a site.
In the past I wo [...]

ShirleyT wrote a useful HTML cheatsheet that explains basic HTML codes you can use to create or edit your profile on MyFreeCams. First things first, in HTML, the code itself goes between <>, anything that's not in that will be text seen on the page. To make bold letters: <b>Example</b>. Note that you put a code between <> and then when you are done with that part, you fin [...]
Anyone can be a cam girl, but not anyone can be a successful one. You will need to put in a lot of effort, to invest in yourself, to work hard. You have to have certain qualities, or develop the ones that are not innate. The qualities a camgirl should have are both physical and psychological. A camgirl cannot be successful is she doesn't possess both, as a bad personality can ruin even the image [...]
Hi Shana, how old are you and where are you from?
My real age is 36, I live in New England in the USA. I have been camming since 2011.
Is webcam modelling your only job or do you do other things beside it?
No, I have a full-time career-type job during the day. I cam approximately two plus hrs ea nite, plus am weekends and some weekend days. I started camming to supplement my income to get a boo [...]
*I am no expert on the following subject. The following is about my personal experiences only.
Using Skype as a platform for cam shows can be a profitable venture and give you independence from working under a cam site. But with that freedom there are certain things you should know.
Let's start with some of the technical basics. First you will need to download Skype and read the rules and how it [...]
So I wanted to give some tips so anyone out there who is not tech savvy I always get compliments on the quality of my show what I mean quality I mean the quality of the video itself. They say the image is so clear and my lighting always looks so natural like daylight even though they know is midnight where I am at. I'm a photographer and videographer in real life so It was easy for me to transit [...]
Hi xMystiquex, how old are you and where are you from?
Hi Rutger, don't you know it's rude to ask a lady her age haha! I'm from North East UK

This is an article written by DominoXXX, which she shared with us here on WeCamgirls. It's well written and very useful to all cam models! To find more interesting articles, you can check her blog.
Recently, I've heard from a lot of people asking me what I think the Camgirl Code of Conduct should be. Some of the guys out there may not like hearing this, so I apologize for that. I thought that w [...]
Do you distrust guys who say they can make you "your own" website? Are you just curious about how paysites are made? There are many reasons and uses to have a pay area on your site. First of all, if you have tons of pics which aren’t quite portfolio quality but which you hate "going to waste" on your hard drive, at least they have the potential to make money if you have a pay area of your si [...]
When starting your adventure into the cam world we all know we need to have a good internet connection, a good camera, toys, clothes, and to dress to kill (sexually lol), but another good tool to have in your bag of tricks is Twitter! As you draw in more followers and invite them to your cam, you will see your income grow. Twitter is free, fun, and allows a cam model to send photos, public Tweet [...]
I've not been as consistent as I should be with My camgirl work - this usually happens when I've had a bad consecutive set of days. What's a bad day for a camgirl? When you sit on cam, fully dolled up, horny, excited about life (whatevs) and 3 hours later…you've made a grand total of $1.75 or something equally ridiculous. I used to think this was exclusive to Me, to BBWs, to Dommes&hellip [...]
With this video I'm showing cam girls how they can use split camera software to record their live broadcast shows on the same computer and have ready available content to resell or use as marketing content/material.

It's not very common. But it does happen. Occasionally camgirls are arrested and charged with lewdness or obscenity. But isn't what we do legal? Well, one thing to keep in mind is that you can be arrested even if you are not guilty. The government has to prove you are guilty to convict you. But that doesn't mean they cannot cause trouble in your life short of proving you committed a crime.
Real [...]
Being a webcam model as a straight male can be quite the unnerving option for certain men. The fact is, regardless of your sexual preference, the overwhelming majority of live cam show customers are male, which means that you will be performing for gay/bi men far more often than not.
Long before I became an actual webcam model, I had primarily spent my time 'in the business' recruiting models. [...]
Disclaimer: This is not intended to be the final word on camming. I have been camming since Oct '11 and have learned so much through experience. Some lessons were learned the hard way, but I now view this venture entirely differently. Also, cam sites are constantly evolving, as are the customers. I have also evolved in my camming journey and am now doing some porn work.
When I first started, tw [...]
