Great Advice for New Cam Models

An excellent post by Evvie on Ambercutie forums that I found to be very informative and absolutely essential for everyone looking into becoming a cam model and cam models that are new to the profession to read. So I'm re-posting it here, and hope that others re-post and pass on this info as well.

I do not believe that MFC is a good site for beginner models, although you all may change my mind! Here is my argument:

♥ Camming has a steep learning curve. Juggling everything at once and spinning it in to a successful shift where the model is on top of everything takes at least several shifts to get the hang of; and yet, MFC starts punishing models as soon as they log on by reducing their camscore when they don't bring in enough tokens.
The only new models I see with high camscores are models who already have experience working on other camsites. 

I've only worked on MFC and SM, but I would call SM more beginner-friendly, and here be why:

Camming Meme Favorites

For all my fellow cam models, here's some of my favorite Memes posted by some of the fabulous members on Ambercutie Forums:

Good Guy Greg, we all love this member...

Time wasters are in every branch of “Sex Worker” jobs…
News flash dudes, this only annoys us and will get you NOWHERE! 




The Pros & Cons of Cam Modeling:

 

what types of jobs are “sex work”?

sexworkerproblems:

Generally speaking, if you’re getting paid to get someone else hot and bothered, you’re doing some kind of sex work. Sex workers of all kinds, even if they aren’t actually having sex with anyone, have many of the same lifestyle pros and cons, as well as face the same “whore” stigma. More specific job titles can include:

• prostitute (streetwalkers, rent boys, hookers, escorts, call girls, and courtesans alike)
• stripper
• porn performer
• webcam model
• professional dominant (offline and on)
• professional submissive
• phone sex operator
• “happy ending” massage parlour workers
• peep show performers

Sex workers are of every gender and no gender. Sex workers are young, old, and middle aged. Sex workers are rich, poor, or in the middle—hopefully comfortable. Sex workers come in every size and color, with any kind of body you can imagine. We run the gamut from glam to dowdy.
You can’t tell a whore by looking.
This is not meant to be a complete list and obviously there are some practises that fall into a grey area, like sugar baby/daddy(or mommy) relationships. As some commenters have pointed out, a lot of sex work is opportunistic, and thus many more people will trade sex for compensation, in practice, than will ever think of themselves as “sex workers”.

How to stalk people on the internet

This was originally posted by Bawksy on Ambercutie Forums.
I definitely recommend going to the site and reading through the entire thread. A lot of other models and members also added a bunch of useful info as well.

We see threads from time to time in this forum asking about whether Amazon Wishlists are secure, whether IP addresses can be traced, and so on. I'm sure the models-only section has plenty of information about how to protect your identity online too. These threads are useful, but the best way to protect from a stalker is to get into the mind of a stalker.

The purpose of this thread is to document in specific detail all the techniques that a stalker might use to find a cam model. This is not to educate would-be-stalkers, but rather to educate cam girls as to how to protect themselves from said techniques.

Before I get started, I'd like to point out here that no preventative measures can ever protect you completely from being found by a stalker. Please read this post here before we get started:

Basics of cam modeling on MFC in a nut shell

THIS IS A RE-POST

Basics of cam modeling on MFC in a nut shell

There's good money to be made in webcam modeling and even more money in G/G shows on cam with the proper planning, a good promotion a head of time.

Here is an example of a good promotional ad of a successful webcam show from AedanRayne and Oohthatlady

Here's a screen shot of their show:

There is also good money to be made in selling content of past shows (ie, Photo sets, and videos).

Here's an example ad of content from one of AedanRayne and JolenJolen's past shows:
