Casual
BDSM/Fetish
Girlfriend Experience (GFE)
Pornstar
By gaining more understanding of what each category entails, you’ll have a clearer idea of where you might fit in.
CASUAL CAM MODELS
Casual cam models are what I call "crowd pleaser" models. They represent a friendly and approachable style and often dress casually when they work online.
This type of model usually prioritizes relaxed and fun-loving interactions over performances that are staged or profoundly impacting.
The vibe of a casual cam model is one which is inviting and easy to engage with. She resides in a laid-back environment on cam, usually chilling on a bed or in a gaming chair; like she would if she was to hanging out with friends.
Casual models interact with their audiences through fun chat, games, and light-hearted activities like cooking, quizzing or craft-making.
They love to invite audience participation whilst delivering their casual style of show.
A highly popular category, casual cam models tend to build a vast following of loyal fans and find it easy to gain regulars. This is because they make viewers feel at home in their presence due to creating a community-focused atmosphere.
If this resonates with you, you tick the boxes to be that model who loves chatting and establishing personal connections, ensuring your audience feels included!
Your “show” might just be as simple as an enjoyable conversation with plenty of laughs, listening to music... but that’s what keeps your audience coming back!
BDSM/FETISH CAM MODELS
At the opposite end of the spectrum to casual, BDSM/Fetish cam models dive into a world of often complex dynamics and fantasies.
Being a "Mistress" or "Goddess" is a strong niche which is not for the faint-hearted, nor is it for those who do not possess the natural gift of creativity.
BDSM/Fetish encompasses a whole host of kinks and twists, allowing for many weird and wonderful experiences, from mild bondage and sensual teasing to more intense humiliation scenarios.
Models in this category often engage in role-playing, wearing fetish attire and exploring the psychological elements of domination and submission.
BDSM/Fetish models seek to draw their fans into a deep emotional connection which is tied to their fantasies; and are able to think and act quickly on their feet.
To be a skilful and highly profitable BDSM/Fetish model you need to keep innovating and evolving your shows to keep captivating and pushing the boundaries with your fans (or subs/pets)!
If you're cut out for this erotic style, you would be the type to enjoy the challenge of crafting intricate roleplay scenarios while ensuring every parties' boundaries are respected.
Understanding the importance of safe words and consent is paramount; as your role is to deliver an immersive experience that keeps your subjects on the hook... at the same time also keeping their comfort in mind. Doing this takes a high degree of emotional intellect.
Be aware that this category of cam modeling is a very strong niche. It is highly specialist and can be extremely lucrative. However not every cam site visitor would walm to the typical attitudes and behaviours that are associated with models who put themselves out there as BDSM/Fetish.
GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE (GFE) CAM MODELS
Girlfriend Experience (GFE) models aim to evoke the feeling of being in a close relationship with their fans, usually indulging in one to one private shows or sext style chat which builds a strong connection.
This attractive and popular style blends genuine conversation, flirtation along with emotional support that mimics dating dynamics over the internet.
GFE models often share their personal stories and feelings with fans and offer a snapshot of their lives off cam. They do this by sharing photos of things they get up to on a weekly basis; such as days out, things they cook, books they read and local sights of interest.
Many cam site members who seek out models in the GFE category do so because they value the emotional connection the gain, in return for the feeling of being appreciated and understood by the model.
As such, GFE models are popular choice models for older clientele, retired gentlemen for example, who enjoy spending their time chatting with and spoiling beautiful charming women online.
If this sounds right up your street; your strength as a cam model will lies in creating comforting environments and being an empathetic listener.
Your purpose as their GFE is to provide a safe space where fans feel cherished and valued after each engagement you have with them.
