Has Any Ladies Ever Tried Being A Webcam Model?

Today for some reason I have been getting alot of webcam model popups or advertisements on other sites.I was wondering if any ladies have ever tried this avenue and how did this experience work for you? I tried it once when I was younger but guessing I didnt put enough time into it because I made no where near the amount of money that the sites claim people make.

I do. And many times it is waaaaaaaaaaaaay more profitable than being a companion. The income potential varies depending on commitment to scheduling yourself and creating a routine.

I was a webcam model for over 3 years and I find this statement very misleading. I don't know how much money you make escorting but if it's under 3k a month then you may be on to something.

As a companion I make way more money than I did camming and I make now more money than most webcam models I know (..I made a lot of money camming)

Keep in mind that while webcamming has its pros it also have lots of CONS.

For one : You can easily be recorded. I had a friend that had her indy show recorded only to be posted on that "homegrownfreaks" website.

.. that is just ONE con. I can list more per the OP's request.

Camming is not an easy job and anyone that says it is easy is lying.
Just like with any business it is all about how you market and present yourself
just like escorting. I honestly don't knw how one could think camming is way more
profitable...it's not especially in this economy.

I worked on imlive.com, webcams.com, streamate.com.

Best site is streamate but it is smart to download splitcam and work all three sites at once..
why? More money of course

Don't forget about indy listing sites that let you keep 80% of your income.

Webcamming is a great job for stay at home moms, women that don't want the hassle of a 9-5 ... it CAN be lucrative but to think you can just get online and money falls on your lap is ridiculous. The more work you put in the more you make. With camming you're competing with 393793797397239729372937927937 2 girls that are already online and you can only do so much with marketing but with escorting you're not competing with as much (depending on where you live) and it's a lot easier to .... sell time

Refer to www.icammodel.com for more tips and resources.
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Money-As-a-Webcam-Model This article even says
webcam models make between $20-$100 an hour...(trust me some ladies are lucky to make that even)
As an escort I make $300 an hour + ... so I must be missing something here...

just sayin'
Yes when I tried webcam it wasnt very successful at all. To many girls on I was thinking it was just the sites that I had tried. Which were top10playmates and myfreecam.com. Both have you on multiple sites at once but it just seemed like alot for a little bit of money so I also say that being a companion is more profitable and also more fun

My earnings were like 600 one day, 100 the next day, $2 the day after and $50 the day after then $200 . Camming income is not a set pay. Camgirls are not paid hourly but by comission so the earnings fluctuate. The top girls on Myfreecams make up to 20k a month (so they say)

but what does that require? NO kids, NO social life... your computer becomes your everything. By the time you know it you're doing 70-80 hours online...really? lol

Exactly what camming is! ALOT for a little bit of money. Camgirls are cut, copied, pasted, recorded on a daily basis and ontop of that.. ONLINE for a long time to make a decent income (depends on the day) For all that I want a mansion!! Just imagine years from now someone can easily find your cam feed, videos and pics... that remains online forever. As an escort we don't have to deal with that unless you have pictures of your face plastered online.

Don't get me wrong my days as a webcam model/independent webcam model was fun and profitable (I was making bank when all my civie friends complained about money) but it also made me a hermit.. lol! There is money to make as a camgirl but get ready to work your ass off, work super hard to get and KEEP regs.

Though escorting is full contact it is ALOT easier for me and of course a lot less stressful.

Hmm didnt know that about top10...But myfreecams was also an okay site, But I got the feeling that to make good money you have to be up there 24/7. My first pay period I made 1,000 but I put in alot of hours after that I kind of lost interest so my second pay period was about 400. Then the most surprising thing that happened I ran into someone who knew me up there so that was the end of that
Though escorting is full contact it is ALOT easier for me and of course a lot less stressful.

Lmfao! I know what you mean! Rude.com used to be 50% of my income until a family friend found me and sent a link to my homepage to my personal facebook inbox. Thank goodness I was fully clothed .... but I denied denied denied it was me and I will keep on denying! Trust me I know how that is which is why I couldn't cam again.
Ladies, this is fascinating!! I had no idea "the business" required so much of you. Naomi dear, are you sure you're only in your early 20s - I am very impressed with how mature, articulate and well thought out you are....very sexy!! And don't get me started on that bod!! Damn you guys are fun!! Thanks for letting me intrude.....carry on!!

Well, of course it isn't EASY, but between working with 4 different sites, and "personal camming" with clients for a flat fee, it has, FOR ME, brought me more income.... It would be a little different if i were a traveling entertainer, that advertised all the time. But I don't, being that school and mommying tie me here, to my home base and I am highly selective of any new clients I see. I do think it is a great way to supplement income, and can be as profitable as you allow it. I must say, splitcam, was a great help once another cam friend made me aware pf it. Commissions from inviting other entertainers and clients, as well as being an affiliate help too. The info you did give here Naomi is very valid and i'm sure will help anyone interested in pursuing cam girl work. Just, saying, for ME, it has been a great help, considering my scheduling outside of being a companion.
glad to know it pays off for you ladies. i often used to visit some sites and watch but i find looking at pic a lot easier on the pocket book...and when i need my fix.....to the local SC or ATF of my choice. But i agree on the safer alternative to making money. And it is a pimp type business....heck everyone is in it to make money so the sites will get their cut especially if you are a highly watched gal.

alexis, ill watch you anytime....well id rather come see you. lol
