Adult Conventions: The 5 Best Types To Attend

Cam girls need fans to make money. Finding and meeting fans at conventions is pretty easy actually and a great way to grow your personal brand. Not to mention the rippling effect it has on industry connections. This is a quick list of the different types of conventions that you should be attending as a cam model today.

Adult Conventions

My Most Recommended Types of Conventions For Models To Attend

There are many different types of adult conventions happening all around the world. Some of these conventions are live while others are held online. Most have awards ceremonies but others are simply community gatherings. These are some of the best adult conventions that anyone can check out.

Porn Conventions

Porn conventions are held for both the people who make porn and the people who watch it. It’s a great place to see all of the biggest porn stars in real life. There are awards for the best creators at most of them, but not all. The most popular one is Adult Con.

This is held three times a year in Los Angeles and Las Vegas and features both exotic dancers and performers. A one-day ticket costs $40 and comes with a $5 casino chip. The AVN Expo is a four-day convention where men and women can meet their favorite porn stars and get their autographs.

The Exxxotica is held in Chicago and women are able to get in for free on Fridays. Finally, the XBiz Convention brings industry leaders to one place for marketing and technology talks. There’s also a lingerie party and other fun things to do.

Webcam Conventions

Webcam conventions usually happen as a mix of in-person conventions and virtual visitors. One of the biggest is BCams. It’s held in Romania and invites cam models, webcam sites, and anyone who loves cams. It also has two awards ceremonies.

The first gives awards to cam models while the second gives them to studios. The Lal Expo is sponsored by LiveJasmin and other cam sites. There are over 600 models from all over the world and it mixes fun events as well as industry talks. It can be attended in person as well as virtually.

Fetish Conventions

There are also a few different conventions that focus on fetish and kink. Fetish Con is the biggest one in the world. It encompasses all fetishes and focuses on offering information about healthy fetish lifestyles. West Coast Bound is held in Vancouver.

They have presenters, education, and a dungeon party. It’s also possible to buy t-shirts and hoodies. Finally, there’s Bound Con. This is the biggest adult convention in Europe. They have over 100 different exhibitors from all around the world. There are also custom photo shoots from different studios for people to take advantage of.

Hentai Conventions

There is one large Hentai convention. It happens every spring and takes place in Atlanta, Georgia. It takes kink and cosplay and brings them both together with lots and lots of people from everywhere you can imagine.

They have lots of parties and they never have a problem with the convention goers getting totally naked at the event. It’s also one of the best places to see homemade costumes that don’t leave much to the imagination. There are several different ticket options available. Each one if going to have a different duration and the prices range from $20 all the way to $130.

Trade Shows

Finally, there are trade shows that focus on the business side of adult entertainment. One of the biggest is the ANME Founders Show. This happens in Los Angeles every January and brings in American and Canadian sex toy manufacturers to present their products.

The ETO Show is the biggest trade show in the United Kingdom. It takes place in Coventry, and they have an award show as well as presenters. The Altitude Show takes place in Las Vegas and comes around semi-annually. Manufacturers are able to show off their lingerie, sex toys, and other adult products.

If you’re serious about building your brand as a cam girl then you need to attend conventions and shows at least once a year. It will help, I promise, and can guarantee that! One other thing that you might want to consider doing (and don’t tell anyone about this trick) but you might want to join a few hookup sites too.

Show Me Your Tits BB

Today’s update covers the infamous guy begging to see tits for free. It’s all about the freeloaders and clears up the fact that nothing in camming is free. Especially if you want to build up your bank account balance. Here is a rundown of questions and replies to them that you can consider. These replies will help deflect those that are asking for free content.

Nothing Is Free On Webcam

Now, I know what you’re thinking, and I’ve heard it a thousand times before. “The best things in life are free.” In real life? Maybe. (although I’m going to come in with a strong #debatable). In Cam life? NOTHING IS FREE.

Let’s just get all of the silly questions out of the way now, so we can delve into the truth of the subject.

“What about smiles?” … While it’s true that smiles may not be paid for with cash, tokens, or gold (Although it might work if you DO charge for it) they are most certainly paid for with your soul that will inevitably be sucked out piece by excruciating piece from dealing with the gigantic F*$% Boys that you have to deal with on a daily basis. (“Ass BB… Show tits BB. Show me a preview and then Private BB)… but I digress.

please show tits bb

“If I tease for free then maybe they will pay for it!” Nope. No. NOOOOO. Don’t fall into this trap, beauties. There is so much out there for you, and money is at the head of the pack. Would you ask a clothing store to give you a free shirt so you could test it out before you buy it?

How about asking a restaurant if you could try a small version of their entrée dish for free? Pretty sure they would laugh in your face and walk away. At least, that’s what I would do.

In fact, it IS what I do anytime some entitled jerk comes into my cam room and tries to get the milk for free. Repeat after me, ladies and gents. “NO, the cow is NOT for sale and the milk is NEVER free.”

Luxury Service

The fact of the matter is that you are providing a luxury service. The keyword to remember there is LUXURY. If you are out of their price range then you are also out of their league. (Awe..can’t afford a show? Better start saving up to give yourself a nice big birthday gift!)

Here’s what you do. Sit down, write out a list of what you know you will get asked for, and then price out what you’re comfortable charging for each individual thing. Don’t second guess yourself!! If you want to charge high, charge high!

This ain’t Walmart, and you don’t need to roll back your prices. The way I see it, it’s better to start your prices higher and lower them if you need, rather than setting the bar low and having to explain to people why your prices are being raised.

Flash? $5

Spanks? $3/spank

Twerk? $15

Blocking them when they continue to try and get it for free? Priceless.

You get the idea. Don’t sell yourself short! If you have people trying to get things for free then you either convert them into a paying customers or you cut the gigantic, pathetic freeloading cord that is their life. (#ByeFelicia)

Have I drilled that into your head enough?

Good.

So here comes the other side of things. Some people that you’re going to encounter like to sip on that haterade that is their miserable existence and call it juice.

These people will be climbin’ in your windows, snatchin’ that free pussy up, so ya’ll better hide your girls, hide your sin-caves and hide your emotions cause they monetarily rapin’ er’body up in here.

Common phrases include, but are not limited to:

“I’m just asking because OTHER models do it for this price.”

“If you showed more for free, then more people would tip in”

“But I’ve given you so much money already!”

“You’re expensive”

(Side note: If you didn’t read that in an obnoxiously whiny voice, take it back one time and try again)

Can Be Dumb & Annoying

If you haven’t already figured it out, these people are idiots.

They aren’t worth your time, and more often than not they are either trying to get you to lose your cool, or they are honestly ignorant enough to believe that you would show them something for free… and for what? Because they think they deserve it?

Girl, please. You control your room and if you give away the goose, you give away the gander. (The goose being YOU and the gander in this case being the control)

Let’s face it…

This is a job that comes with the vulnerability of exposing parts of yourself that most people would never dream of exposing, let alone have the courage to show even their closest of friends.

There is a risk involved, there is the knowledge that everything you do while the cam is turned on has the possibility of being posted on the internet ANYWHERE and being seen by literally ANYONE.

(If you don’t think this is the case, you are severely naive, and I recommend you research some more about what career choice you’re making before deciding on anything.)

Taking all of these things into consideration, I think we can all agree that we have the right, NAY, the duty to charge for any and all of the services and products that we provide.

Including the pleasure of our sparkling personalities. 🙂

Wrapping Things Up

I’ll leave you with this. Ultimately, the decision of whether to give away teases and freebies to potential trolls is up to you. It’s your world and we’re all just living in it.

All I’m preaching here is that you should never let anyone devalue you as not only a product but also as a model.

…and hey, I’m not saying to stand up and say to the world “I have the Pussy, so I make the rules. Pay to play or get the F*&$ out”

…but I’m also not NOT saying that.

Dealing With Catty Cam Models

We all know what high school was like. Regardless of whether you were in the popular crowd, a band geek, a debate team guru or a gothic rebel, we all dealt with the inevitable catty, horrible drama/angst filled “woe is me” girl. Hell, most of us probably were the drama filled girls. (Not that I’m thinking of myself in that situation at all.. I was a perfect angel. Just like Mary Poppins. Practically Perfect in Every Way!)

I don’t know about you, but I hated high school. Absolutely loathed it. I remember thinking on more than one occasion that I couldn’t wait until it was over because adults always seemed to have it together. They had it so easy not having to deal with the petty drama. Little did I know, they were just better at hiding it from us kids because boy, was I in for a surprise when the drama never really went away.

Granted, we aren’t in a high school classroom forced to see whoever the bane of our existence was day after day. But it seems as though by the time we enter the real world, the drama is so ingrained within some of us that it’s impossible to let it go. Thus creates….. (dun dun dun) The Catty Camgirl.

how to deal with catty cam girls

Catty Cam Girl Facts

When I first started camming I had no idea that it was as much of a community as it actually is. I remember always thinking about how these girls all seemed to know each other and I was on the outside looking in. Once I started getting more ingrained in the everyday hustle and bustle of camming I saw it in a whole new light.

There will be cliques. OH, will there ever be cliques! The top girls of cam sites can be very competitive, and as a result, there can be some nasty things that get said. It’s up to you whether or not you engage or decide to ignore it.

Ignore The Haters

Personally, I like to ignore all the haters. Instead, I use it to measure my success. In my mind, the more haters that I have the more successful than I.

I don’t have time to engage in petty arguments or respond to the trolls on social media. I just ignore them, brush my shoulder off, give them the good ol’ two-finger salute and carry on my merry way of being a master of the universe. But even though I decide to ignore it, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.

Success Breeds Bashers

Look, the fact of the matter is this. If you are doing well on your cam site, and by that I mean you’re killing it with the hours, you’re slaying it with the regulars, you’re going HAM on some goals… then you’re inevitably going to collect a group of camgirls that would rather spend their time bashing you then working on their own craft.

This doesn’t reflect on you as much as it reflects on how shitty they are. You will have models come into your rooms and troll you, if you’re on a private-based site, they may try to take you to exclusive for 5 seconds. (This, by the way, is so they don’t get charged and your room gets cleared out.)

Some of the more *cough* vocal *cough* ones will take their ridiculous, obnoxious rants to Twitter because you know… somehow bashing another model in front of your fans will create a solid, loyal fanbase. (Gag me, please.) Not in a kinky way either.

Here To Stay

I hate to say it, but the truth of the matter is that there is never going to be a way to get rid of these types of girls. They exist in the world. They are the mediocre cam-girl that allow us to shine. So what do you do? Do you let them disrespect you and completely f*$% with your workflow? (How about NO, Scott.) There are some things that you can do to alleviate the annoying.

Make Them Ask

If you’re on a private-based site and models are trolling and clearing out your room by taking your private, start having the guys ASK you before. If someone tries to take me without asking first, it throws up a major red flag.

If they haven’t even said Hi to me why would they want to spend $10/min on an exclusive session? What if I don’t do what they offer? What if they think my voice is annoying?

If they can’t ask, then I assume they are a model trying to clear out my room and mess with my vibe….and you better believe, I will decline every single show if they aren’t respectful of my rules in that matter.

Send A Message – Literally

If the harassment gets too extreme, you can always send in a message to the cam site that you’re on. I wish I could say that this had a 100% success rate, but the sad truth of the matter is that it doesn’t. Sometimes the haters are favorites and they get away with murder.

So, to each their own with what you want to do at that point, but my advice is to be the bigger person and just do you, boo-boo. Trust and believe that nothing is going to get to the catty camgirl as much as you are not engaging. If you don’t react, then it’s not going to give them the satisfaction that they are looking for.

Conclusion: The Catty Will Be Catty

Hell, while they will be busy spending so much time trying to get a rise out of you, stalking your cam room, and giving you free promo by mentioning you on social media, you can be out there like Ri-Ri.

(Let me see you werk, werk, werk, werk, werk.) The best comeback is a success. And after all, they say that haters are your biggest fans. So #KeepOnHatin’

Thinking Different About The Webcam Business

Sometimes all it takes is thinking differently about a business. That’s why today I’m covering what you need to know if you’re in the cam industry today. Looking at the business through another lens can help improve your earnings and experience – overall. I’ll cover how to think differently when it comes to camming today.

cam business thinking

Look At The Webcam Business Through A Different Lens

Famous words to live by (literally) and they were said by none other than Apple’s own late Steve Jobs. He knew what he was talking about, obviously. Although he was speaking in terms of computers, it really is a great motto to live every aspect of your life by.

Forget The Competition

Stop looking at competition and thinking of how you can do things better than them. Think about how you can do things differently.

For example, you watch another cam girl’s room. You say to yourself “Man, she is really awesome at the hard sell.” She’s constantly pushing for a sale, like a used car salesman that never gives up and never lets you leave without signing on the dotted line.

Now, you try and copy what she’s doing down to a T and you may be successful, hell, you may even be better… but let’s think for a second about how we could do things differently instead. How about mixing soft sells with hard sells? Mixing the art of the hard sell and using it with a subtle sell delivery.

Stop Trying To Copy

When it comes down to it, there is nothing that you can do that will ever be exactly the same as what another person does. That’s why you can always tell the difference between an original and a copy. Sure, they might be almost identical but they never quite match up. Why would anyone want to be a copy of something else anyway?

The Bad Eggs

Let’s take the example of affiliates for big-box cam sites like Streamate.com. A lot of models do not like white labels because there are a few bad eggs that unfortunately give a bad name to the whole bunch.

The models complain about them recording their shows, posting them on tube sites, tweeting out their pics without tagging them, associating them with not-so-good studios, the list goes on and on. Constantly there is something going on in this realm.

There is always a model who is trying to get their shows taken down off of an affiliate site only to get the run around by said affiliate.

Brand Use

The models are upset because their brand is being used and they aren’t getting any type of credit for it, and if they point it out, then they are talked to like they aren’t worth a damn.

It can be a pretty nasty system. So here’s where the “Think different, not better” comes in. Instead of thinking about how affiliates should do things better (which we all know will not be changing any time soon.) We should be thinking about how we can do things differently. Imagine if 10 models created white labels, and then also created affiliate programs for said white label.

Then each model signed up for the other affiliate program and traded promo content for each other. All of a sudden, instead of having the affiliates steal your content and not give you credit… you as the model are taking control, and all of the models are making each other money by using the model’s affiliate link when they use their brand to promote their white label. Still with me?

This Doesn’t Help

It doesn’t get rid of the problem, but if you can’t get out of it, then you might as well get into it. This would put much more industry control in the hands of the models, as well as provide a supportive community for everyone to come together and constantly make each other money.

Next thing you know, the affiliates that aren’t models don’t have the same type of access to the promo materials (because models aren’t creating it voluntarily for them, like they are for the models they are signed up as affiliates with) and so who starts to be the big breadwinners? The Models.

Snapchat…

Another example is Snapchat. Models started out on Snapchat with either just a public Snapchat or a private Snapchat. Then after debating on how to do it better, most models created two separate accounts, one for the public and one for the premium. This is all well and good and serves its purpose, however, it’s a lot of work to run two separate accounts. So instead of doing things better, how about we do them a little differently?

Create ONE Snapchat account and run your private and your premium from the same account. (You can do this by going to your settings and changing who can view your story from Public to CUSTOM.

Even after you switch back to public view, the snaps posted on your storyline during the custom setting will only be viewable by those who were on the approved list.) Voila! A way to do things differently.

Conclusion

Are you picking up what I’m laying down yet? Obviously, the examples above are just that…examples. You can mix and match and try different things out to see what works for you and what doesn’t.

But the truth of the matter is that until we stop trying to be cookie-cutter versions who compete with each other using the same type of style and hustle, we won’t be living up to our maximum potential.

So I urge you, I implore you to start doing yourself a favor and when you are getting ready to log on to your cam room, or film a new video, or start a new project… that you take a second and start to think different, not better.

The Webcam Stage Five Clinger

Alright, so today’s topic is rather important. We’re going to be covering something that we hate to have to cover, but it’s necessary. The stage 5 clinger! I hate this person and they end up costing me time and money, so it’s 100% necessary to discuss this with you. Check this out and let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to leave comments below if so!

stage 5 clinger

The Stage 5 Clinger

We’ve all heard of them, and most of us have probably either been one or had one…. but just for the sake of this conversation, we are going to pretend that we all need a definition, and what better source than our trusty friend Urban Dictionary?

Stage Five Clinger: likely to become overly attached, overly fast. Virgins, those on the rebound, and the emotionally fragile are more likely to have this term applied to them.

Example: “Dude stage five clinger just text me again, she wants me to spit in her mouth.”

Stage 5 Clinger

How Many?

As a cam-girl, you will inevitably run into approximately 1 to 1 million stage five clingers through the span of your career. It’s just statistics. *shrugs* Some of you may be sitting there wondering whether or not you have one already? Don’t worry, you don’t. Trust and believe that when you do get one, you will know without question. I like to think of the stage five clingers as an occupational hazard.

Something that comes along with the territory of the profession that we have all chosen to be in. Are they fun? Hell no. Are they entertaining? Of course not… Well, sometimes they are, but usually only because you can’t believe the lengths they go through to have attention. I have banned many a clinger because they don’t know how to abide by rules, and they take so much energy that sometimes you have to stop and ask yourself “is the juice really worth the squeeze?”

What You Must Know

Stage Five Clingers aren’t your normal attached regular, though at first, they might fool you into believing that they are just like anyone else. They will weasel their way into your Snapchat and your cam rooms like the slimy, tricky little buggers they are, so let’s go over some of the signs to be on the lookout for.

1. They become Entitled Little Bitches. Let me elaborate. They start to form feelings and think that they are in an actual relationship with you, so they can’t understand why you don’t spend every waking moment talking to them or giving them something for free because they’ve “given” you so much. This brings me to…

2. “But I’ve given you so much” Cue the eye-roll, please. This is a classic line and will be used in some shape or form at some point. This is where you need to be clear at what the difference between “giving” and “purchasing” is.

3. “Babe, can’t I just have it?” Any variation on this phrase, even a hint of them trying to get something for free after they’ve been loyal spenders is a sure sign that they are starting to feel like they deserve special treatment, and also a big red flag to let you know that you should RUN. RUN FAR AWAY. (unless clingers are your thing.. In which case. JACKPOT!)

4. No Sense of Boundaries .. and when I say no sense, I mean NO SENSE of boundaries. At all. You will start to realize that for some people it is a necessity of reminding them that you are running a business and when you are talking to them you are working. Yeah, it would be nice if this was an unspoken rule, but people forget that your time is money, so it’s extremely important that you maintain the control of everything at all times.

I once had a guy call me on Skype at 5 AM in the morning for no reason except to test his feed and say hi. (Aca’scuse me? Are you out of your mind, bro?!) BLOCKED FOR LIFE.

Didn’t give him the show he was supposed to be receiving the next day and sent him a very long email explaining why he was no longer going to be a client of mine and how crazy it was that he thought he had the right to call me whenever he wanted. Do not EVER be afraid to say “Having the ability to talk with me/contact me is a privilege, one that you can lose and never be able to gain back.” Anyone who has a problem with that is a giant douche and not worth your time anyway.

5. Gets possessive and jealous when you go private with other clients. I feel like this should go without saying, but please, for the love of god, do not let any person get away with this BS. I don’t care how much money they have spent on you, or how much you actually like them. It is one of the highest levels of disrespect (in my opinion) for them to think they are more important than your other clients, or your money.

Conclusion

Now, originally this was going to be the part of the article where I delve into all the different ways that you can handle stage-five clingers, but now that I think about it, there isn’t really much to delve into. You either put up with them and hustle them for all their worth and then cut them off when they stop spending, or you cut them off before they can even start.

If you’re not sure which way is the way for you, see what you’re able to handle without wanting to blow your f’ing brains out. Maybe your tolerance level is that of a saint and you will be able to take on all the clingers of all the lands while taking all of their money.. and that’s what the main point is. Don’t ever let a clinger come between your money and your time. If that happens- they have gone too far. Money over bitches, every damn day.

Avoiding Webcam Scams (Must-Know Tips)

Scams happen all the time. You need to be on alert 24/7 if you’re a cam girl. This article paves the path for models looking to understand how to avoid webcam scams. If you’re not thinking about this, then you are definitely getting scammed now or in the future – TRUST ME. This is perhaps the most important thing you might read today. Find out how to avoid getting completely ripped off by camming consumers today.

How To Avoid Being Scammed On Webcam

Scammer. Scam-artist. Connoisseur of the Scam. Zé art of zé scam. No matter how you slice and dice it, the fact remains the same. If it seems to be too good to be true, it usually is.
Here’s the deal, kids. In this industry, we’re all going to be victims of the attempted scam. Granted, some of them are miserable excuses of an attempt and can hardly be considered “scam worthy” but once in a while, every so often you get the diamond in the rough. The one that either almost gets you, or (god forbid) actually does.

These guys are professionals. Not to be taken lightly. If you aren’t careful, they will come in and steal your sunshine, your panties, your content, and your happiness. So, how do we help prevent these nasty predators from succeeding in their disgusting, freeloading ways?

Stay On Gaurd 24/7

First things first, never let your guard down. Scammers are always looking for a way to sneak in through the cracks and get you to trust them before they pull a bait and switch on you and get a bunch of free sh*t. There are going to be the ones who pretend to be “promoters” on social media and say things like “Hey babe, want a shout out? Can I get some personal nudes and maybe your Snapchat in return?” (ugh. Go die, please.)

AMZN + Paypal Scams

Then you’re going to get the “Paypal. BB? Amazon Gift Cards BB?” guys. The rare occasion does happen where these are really guys asking if you accept this form of payment, but more often than not scammers will send you fake gift cards, send you PayPal and then report your account and get their money back, etc.

Because of this, it’s super important to be extremely informed about all the ways you do accept payment, and never waiver on what you’re comfortable with receiving until you do your research.

Trickle Coin Tony

Then you’re going to get the guys who might even drop a little bit of money on you at first. I call these guys “trickle coin tony.” These are the quintessential starting line-up of the game. They make you think they are legit by purchasing something, might be a big thing, might be a small thing… And then they try to scam you out of your panties by saying that they will “send the money tomorrow.”

Common phrases attached to these kinds are:

“I’m going to take care of you”

“I can’t use a credit card anymore because I don’t want it on my statement”

“I’ll send everything later, you know I’m good for it.”

“I got you.” “I see you” or any other variation on this stupid phrase.

Nope. No. No way, no how.

These guys are trying to get you to lower your guard because hey, they’ve spent on you before, right? That must mean that they are always going to spend on you with their thousands of dollars. Even if they don’t right away… It will pay off in the long haul, right? WRONG-O!

No Rule Bending – Ever

This brings me right into my second point. Do not bend the rules for anybody, unless you are 100% certain that they are legitimate, and even then… be wary. There are many a tale of the regular turned freeloader who pillaged and plundered his way through all the naïve camgirls by land and sea, so stay firm in your guidelines and make them either follow them or leave.

Always read through EVERYTHING (yes, even the fine print), and then if you’re not sure, google it and make sure. Check, and then double-check….and then go back and check it again!
Basically, just make sure to cover all your bases and always be informed, because some of these guys are good. Like…Tom Hardy in everything he’s in kind of good. Not amateur, not easy to spot, and will 9/10 times get the scam stamped with a big red COMPLETE.

Example Time!!

Guy wants Snapchat. He says he’s new at purchasing these kinds of things, acts like he tries to set up any accounts he needs to in order to pay and claims that it won’t work. Asks if he can send a gift card. He sends a “gift card” that asks for you to put in all of your legal and banking information and requires you to start an account in order to “redeem” the money. See where this is going?

This is a great scam because it provides the model with the illusion that he is trying hard to purchase content and is having a hard time. His goal here is to create a sense of guilt so that you will give in to accepting a gift card payment that you don’t normally accept. Then he slides in with one that will be extremely easy for him to either get your information from, or to get a refund on his money after he receives what he’s “paying” for.

The Agency Scam

Another popular scam is the “modeling agency” or the “magazine photographer” that will contact you on social media and say they are interested in shooting (or insert any other appropriate term for what they are claiming here).

Ask For References

Never be afraid to ask for references and samples of their work. It’s common practice to ask for references on an application, and why wouldn’t you want to fully screen anyone that you’re considering working with anyway?

If they can’t provide references, past models they’ve worked with who you can reach out with, samples of their previous work, or proof of what they are saying they can do for you, then move along. They are either scamming you or else they are unbelievably unprofessional, and you shouldn’t want to work with them anyway.

Conclusion

This could turn into a novel on its own if I kept going into details about all of the different ways that people have either tried with me or one of my cam friends, but suffice it to say that if you run your career like it’s a business, you will be able to avoid the majority of the scammers. Keep an eye out, be smart, be safe and if you do encounter a scammer, call them out on social media to warn the other models.

Webcam Whitelabels: Every Model Needs One!

Did you know that you can have your very own webcam site? Seriously! Many models don’t know this, but it’s very easy to brand your name as a webcam site through the use of a Whitelabel. Today I’m going to be sharing everything I know about Whitelabel cam sites and why you might consider creating one yourself.

A note: Many models may think that this is taking away from themselves and sending to other models, but the truth is, many consumers are going to cam with other girls anyway. So, to make the most money, you might as well try and cash in on those connections as well. You can do this with a Whitelabel!

Second note: This is a topic that I’m updating. I covered this in the past and just want to point things out again this year.

Webcam Whitelabels

Whitelabels: The Ins/The Outs and Why You Should Have One

If you’re a camgirl, then you probably know about white labels already, and like most other models in the business have a deep-rooted, intense hatred for the affiliates of white labels and everything that comes along with it.

Of course by saying “everything that comes along with it” I mean the horrible affiliates that are usually behind the scenes of the white labels, screenshotting your pics, recording your shows to upload onto tube sites, and being a general pain in the ass when you decide that you want them to take down your videos. (DMCA’S BITCHES!)

I know, and I agree with the fact that some of the affiliates that are the ones running these white labels are complete jerks who have no idea what it’s like to be on the other side of the industry. (Side note: This isn’t always the case. It’s one of those, the few bad apples make it harder on the rest of them) All they care about is the bottom line and making money, which is understandable. However, my motto in life is “If you can’t get out of something, get into it” and that applies here just as much as any other place.

White Labels Bring Us Consumers

White Labels are a part of the camming industry. It makes sense. The cam companies are, in essence, paying affiliates to bring traffic to the site by giving them a percentage of all the sales that they bring in.

There are white label opportunities for almost every major cam site, and there is no reason to limit yourself to only one, but just for the sake of streamlining this article, we’re going to focus on Cambuilder.com, which is Streamate’s Whitelabel program. There are a couple of reasons why I am choosing Cambuilder, one of which being that it is the white label I use, as well as being the most popular option out of all the affiliate programs out there.

There are five options that you can choose from as far as payouts go on Cambuilder.com.

35% Lifetime Revenue Share

$75 per spender + 30% Lifetime Revenue Share

$30 per join + 30% Lifetime Revenue Share

$100 per spender

$40 per join

All of them have their pros and cons, but if you’re in it for the long haul for long-term passive income, 35% rev-share for life is the best plan overall.

They’re All Quite Similar

Regardless of which Whitelabel you decide to use, the inner workings are all pretty much the same. They will offer you a rev-share of the sales that you bring in. As a model, it doesn’t make sense to NOT take advantage of this.

Even if the only time you promote the white label is when you are getting online, if you get sign-ups it guarantees that no matter who they spend on, you are making money. (In Cambuilder.com’s case, 35% off every model they spend on, which would be the exact same as if they were spending on you.)

Post Registration

After the signup, it’s a relatively painless process. You, of course, need to purchase a domain name for your white label. This can be whatever you wish for it to be, but keeping it simple and easy to remember is going to be your best bet.

After you have the domain name purchased, it’s time to set up your white label. On Cambuilder.com it gives you easy-to-use templates that let you customize the look and feel of your site. It literally “click and point” easy. You can upload your own logos, change the color theme, change the size and the look of the model’s icons, etc.

Promote Yourself & Other Cam Girls

After that first step, the next step is going to be promoting your white label. A lot of models that I know only use their domain when they are getting online. While that works wonderfully, I feel like it is a missed opportunity. The second that I got a white label, I reached out to other models who either had one themselves or models on the site asking them if they would be okay with me promoting them…I haven’t had a single one say no yet.

Conclusion: Just Start One

This brings me to my major point. IF YOU ARE A CAM MODEL THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE A WHITE LABEL. Look, nothing is going to change overnight. There are always going to be some bad apple affiliates running the white labels that bring us the shitty traffic, treat us like dirt and give every other affiliate out there a bad name.

But if you can’t get out of it, get into it. If you don’t like something, then be part of the change. Think about how different it would be if models all created white labels and traded promotional material.

Not only are you supporting each other in the industry, but all of a sudden you have so much more promo available to you versus the affiliates that only have your shows they recorded, and have models breathing down their neck to take them down.

Add on top of that fact that, as a model, you have much more incentive to give people for signing up. “Sign up, spend $5 and get a free vid!” Kind of deals, that will start having checks show up in your mailbox without you ever getting on cam. Passive income ladies, now let’s all get together and get rich. 😉

Final Note: You also should really check out Camsoda.com because they have an incredible whitelabel and team that supports models in any way needed. I strongly suggest that if you’re a Camsoda model, then get your own Camsoda whitelabel going ASAP! It’s a great way to make money on Camsoda – EASY!

Instagram Advice For Models

Instagram is one of the hottest social media outlets going right now. Not only is Instagram easy to use, but you also don’t need to compose a whole lot of written content; people are using Instagram to see pictures and as a cam model, that’s really your calling card.

If you’re new to Instagram (check out this platform’s profile), or you haven’t thought about using the social media site to further your cam career, it’s time you started thinking about it!

Before you jump onto Instagram and start flooding it with your pictures, consider these 9 tips that will help you to make the best out of your Instagram experience and increase your followers and engagement, thus increasing your chances of making big bucks in your cam modeling career.

9 Tips for Using Instagram as a Webcam Model

Here are some of the most important tips and tricks that you need to know if you’re camming and working that IG angle or DMing on the gram. Take this advice seriously and take action accordingly!

#1: Post Good Photos

Instagram is completely photo-based so you want to make sure you’re only posting good photos. As a cam girl, you and your body are your money-makers, so you should be pretty adept at making sure you are always looking good on-screen. Become the selfie queen and take as many pictures as it takes to get the “right” shot.

You should also consider using photo-editing apps to enhance what you’ve already got going on. Now, I’m not saying you should edit yourself from looking like a troll into looking like Beyonce, because that is only going to upset anyone who decides to follow you in the cam world. What I am saying is there are excellent apps for improving your photo lighting, clarity, contrast, brightness, as well as providing interesting filters and collage capabilities. Just don’t overdo it.

The best tidbit of advice I can offer on posting good photos is to make sure they’re clear, high-quality, colorful, realistic, and interesting. More interest=more followers.

#2: Post at the Right Time

Before you post your amazing-looking photos to Instagram, you want to consider when they’re most likely going to be seen. The majority of Instagram users check in the morning, in the evening, and on the way home from work. According to the stat-gathering company, Simply Measured, the best time to post on the old ‘Gram is on a Wednesday between 5-6:00 PM.

For someone promoting their brand, which you’re doing as a cam model, the worst time to post is overnight. See, Instagram posts only have about a four-hour life before they are buried in followers feed. Consider when your followers are most likely to be on Instagram and make your posts accordingly.

hashtag

#3: Use Appropriate Hashtags…But Use Them Sparingly

Have you ever looked at someone’s post and seen that they have what seems like hundreds of hashtags? It’s annoying and half the time those hashtags don’t even match up with what that person posted.

Hashtags definitely improve the visibility of your photos and can help you to get new followers who may not know anything about you. To ensure that you’re using the right hashtags for what you’re promoting, give Google a little search. You can also consider using the most popular tags, which include: #tbt (Throwback Thursday), #cammodels, #camgirl, and #followme.

I would recommend that you avoid the hashtag paragraph at the end of your photo and stick with 1-3 relevant hashtags per photo to avoid pics that look cluttered.

post on IG

#4: Post Often

If you want to keep your regular followers interested, and the new ones curious, you have got to post new content on a regular basis. Too many cam models start an account, blast it with pictures and content, then let it fall off.

This doesn’t mean you have to blast out 100 photos a day. In fact, posting once a day, or once every other day is enough to keep everyone happy and avoid losing followers who get bored waiting on you. If you don’t keep your posts on Instagram on a fairly regular basis, don’t be surprised when you lose followers.

#5: Interact with Your Followers

The biggest mistake you can make as a cam girl using Instagram is to ignore your followers. By not responding to your most loyal followers is a surefire way to drive them away. You want them to feel valued, not ignored, and underappreciated.

Make sure to respond to their comments and go to their account to “like” a few of their pics. If you want to figure out who are your biggest followers, you can use an app like Iconosquare to track comments and see which users are interacting with you the most.

sending DMs on IG

#6: Contact Your Followers on DM (Direct Messaging)

Something that goes hand-in-hand with interaction is using direct messaging (DM’s and same goes for Snapchat). You want to keep your account going with pictures as much as you can, but sometimes you want to save something for those followers who are your most loyal. This is where you want to utilize the DM’s to send those users something a little more special; something you’re not planning on sharing with the general public.

instagram contest

#7: Host a Contest

One of the best ways to encourage engagement is to host an Instagram contest for your followers. Not only will that get them excited, you can set rules that will help increase your following, such as having them tag a set number of friends to make their entry valid. Just make sure you make good on that contest and award the winner their prize, whatever that might be.

buy followers

#8: Never Buy Instagram Followers

Buying Instagram followers has received a lot of attention lately and while some people think it is a good idea, I’m not one of them. You see, you can get a nice chunk of followers for a decent price, but most of those supposed followers are inactive accounts. If your account shows that you have over 20,000 followers, but you have almost no follower interaction, it’s a sign to real users that your account is cheesy, possibly fake, and not worth checking out.

To be successful on Instagram, you want to stick with real followers and not give in to the temptation to bump up your numbers, so they look good on paper.

#9: Use Shoutouts

It’s just basic math: the more followers you can reach out to, the better for your brand. Shoutouts are another way to increase that following. Shoutouts are basically two users agreeing to give the other person a shoutout on their own account. This is a way to market yourself and get promoted to followers who may not be familiar with you.

The method of using shoutouts can definitely increase your follower count by thousands, so give it a try.

Conclusion: Instagram is a Great Tool for Web Cam Models

As a webcam model, a lot of your work will be in promoting yourself. Many models think that staying on their chosen camming platform will be enough to get them the money they want to make, but that just isn’t true. Any woman who wants to be truly successful in the cam world needs to work on cross-promotion to get themselves out there in the world.

Social media has exploded in the past few years and it remains one of the best ways to drive up interest in what you’re selling, which is essentially yourself. If you want a way to do it quickly, easily, and with a site that has tons of users, Instagram is the way to go.

Cams.com Review

If you’ve read my recently published Jerkmate.com review then you know that I’m trying to help both consumers and models have more informed experiences when using cam sites today.

Having covered so many of the sites out there, I know what to look for, what’s important for models to know and what’s important for cam consumers to know as well.

I’ve covered all I know about Cams.com today. This review should help you make an informed decision as to whether it’s a good choice for you.

Remember, you literally have so many webcam sites to choose from and that makes this a really important decision. Whether you are trying to become a cam model or you’re trying to use it as a consumer, you need to do your research.

Details About Cams.com You Need To Know

There are a ton of different cam sites out there and it can tough to find one that’s perfect for you. That’s why trying out as many as you can will give you the best chance of success.

If you don’t have the time or money to go to all of the different sites, check out Cams.com for yourself. It’s about as straightforward as a cam site can be.

In fact, it can be the basis that you judge all other cam sites against. The quality is always great and there are tons of models from all over the world.

Who Needs It

This is a cam site for anyone who loves variety in their cam sites. Not all of them offer this type of variety, so I truly value this factor. You get a little bit of everything here.

If you’re a consumer, you can check out skinny girls, curvy girls, couples, blondes, brunettes, mature women, and teens at any time that you want.

I’d also like to add that the cams.com site has been around for a very long time and it’s very well-known. There are thousands of women like myself on it at any given moment and they all want to have a little fun on cam.

That’s really what makes it a premier cam destination for anyone who loves to interact with them.

Cams.com

The Pros

There are a ton of pros when it comes to this site. The biggest one is the number of models on it at any time of the night or day. Anyone can become one of these models. Sure, it means there are lots of models to compete against but competition is healthy!

In fact, the link to apply is right on the site for anyone who wants to try it out. As for the model’s physical appearances, there’s every “body type” imaginable here and it’s all searchable right on the site.

A few clicks is going to bring you to tons of cams that exactly fit what you’re looking for. That’s something that can keep you coming back every single day. Is it better than Camsoda.com? Not a chance, but it’s still pretty damn good in my humble opinion.

What You Get Joining

Signing up is going to get you 100 free tokens to use right away. You can spend them however you want with no restrictions.

There are also tons of pornstars on the site. You can interact with the women you see in porn videos any time you want.

You get stats for any model that you come across. Yes, within seconds just like other sites, you can see her age, height, bra size, hair color and everything else.

Also, the free chat is also unlimited after you sign up. If you’re a model, then you can also earn a whole lot of money if you decide to cam on the site. It’s open to anyone with a cam and internet connection.

Conclusion

This is just an all-around great cam site for anyone to use. They have it all and it’s not going to be going anywhere any time soon, trust me on that. All you have to do is sign up to see it all for yourself.

Check it out whenever you can and you’re not going to be disappointed with it at all.

Again, for consumers looking to chat, the models will always be willing to do anything at all that you want (for the most part) if you have the credits to pay for requests. I’d say this is a cam site worth looking into today.

Now, if you’re looking for other sites, then I must suggest that you read this page in its entirety, especially before joining this site or any other cam sites.
