Want to know how to be the best you on cam? I’m here to help you make that happen!

Cam modelling is one of those professions where it’s success is dependent on the mindset of the individual.

My job as Cam Model Mentor often involves the soul searching of others to help them identify what’s up.

I’m always happy to share my advice and empathy. The adult entertainment industry is a difficult industry to work in and I’m on your side all the way!

As a like-minded female here I know first hand there are always barriers to overcome physically, emotionally and psychologically when you work on cam.

Ticking along on all those elements week after week requires continual self-management.

Many models find their mood elevator is up and down, or they feel confident one day and no so the next. Other models are fire for a while then things will suddenly fizzle and they lose their mojo.

Many factors affect the mood on cam. There are always things going on in the personal life that can affect how positive the mindset is for actually getting online and putting the time in.

All of these things are completely normal and you’re not alone. I am not shy to tell you I have had many ups and downs in all my years of camming.

Even times I’ve had to take a few weeks or months out to reset. So never feel bad for dropping away and focussing on YOU.

If you’re feeling lost, demotivated, burnt out or lacking desire and want to reinstate your mojo; follow these tips to help get back on track.

You will choose your day to be the best you on cam! And I will help you make it happen!

Be the best you on cam

  • Decide which day you will start working on yourself to be the best you on cam. If you choose the day allows you complete contro of your schedule, it’s all on your terms.
  • Tell yourself you will wake up that day and make it day the best day of your life. Affirm that out loud, write it down, mark it in the diary.

Tip: Plan your day for when you know you’ll be feeling well. Avoid days where you’re premenstrual, on period, or hungover.

  • Schedule in an early night the night before so you can sleep sufficiently and feel rested.
  • Wake up on the day and smile, do some stretches in bed, be mindful. Tell yourself you feel great! Today is going to be your best ever day!
  • Have a nice breakfast, ideally something healthy. Fruit, eggs, yoghurt, a non-sugared cereal, whatever you enjoy. Get some vitamin-C into your body as this ie very important. I recommend fresh fruit juice, berries or tomatoes.
  • Dress dependent on the climate to go outside and move around in the fresh air. Walk the dog if you have one, drop of the kids at their daycare/school if you have them, and go for a walk afterwards.

Top Tip: Even just 30 minutes of light exercise outdoors in the morning is so beneficial. It promotes a positive mindset and a general feeling of wellbeing.

Alternatively, you may like to go to the gym or do another form or workout that makes you feel fab.

  • Keep affirming to yourself that today is set to be your best ever day, and that you feel positive. Continually reaffirming this is good programming for the mindset to keep you on track.
  • Think through some ideas of what you would enjoy doing on cam. Have a look through your outfits and toys, feel excited about all your potential. You’re going to kill it on cam today!

I’ll share some inspiration for shows at the bottom of this article, if you need any.

  • Keep working on your positive vibe. Talk kindly to yourself and remind yourself that you’re beautiful and awesome. Be excited about working on cam! There will be many great members looking forward to seeing you!
  • Pick out an outfit that resonates with your vibe, and decide on the kind of show/s you’d like to present. Make firm decisions as this is assertive and reassuring.
  • Go through all the technical setup things and make sure your vibrator toys are popped on to charge. This article will help you work through all the things you need to check before going on cam, so you’ll feel well prepared. (Right click on the link and open it in a new window, so you can read it in a moment).
  • Put on some uplifting music and get ready! Remind yourself you’re an absolute stunner and you’re about to smash it on cam!

Today is the best day of your life and your badass vibe is manifesting abundance! You will have a tonne of fun and gain a heap of new fans with your sparkling positive attitude!

Sing along, chat to yourself while you get dressed and do your makeup. It might sound crazy but it really helps get into the flow!

  • Getting ready takes as long as it takes so please don’t feel under pressure. These things are best done in an environment where you feel relaxed and in harmony with everything surrounding you.

Why not light some scented candles, rearrange your room, get some nibbles or something nice to drink?

Make feel like getting ready for a nice day or night out and you will enjoy the process!

  • Now you’re in the best possible mindset to be the best you on cam! Happy, energised, with good energy all around you. You know you’re about to have the most incredible session on cam. What a buzz!
  • Need extra time to do your nails, or pop a quick call to a friend? No worries! Do what you need to do. You need to feel 100% prepared and happy that all the little jobs are out of the way. This helps declutter the mind.
  • Look in the mirror and smile at your reflection. What a beauty! You look your absolute best, and that is going to come across online. Your fans will appreciate the effort you’ve gone to and you’ll get a tonne of complements. Compliments boost confidence and make you even happier on cam!
  • Log into the site and set up your shows, tip features and anything else you would like to promote. Connect any interactive toys and put any props and things like dildos within reach.
  • Now it’s time to take the stage and say hi to your crowd! They’re delighted to see you and keen to help you be the best you on cam. Be excited to see them too.

Greet your audience with your lovely smile, tell them you’ve missed them. Let them know how excited you are about the shows you’ve planned and tell them what they have to look forward to.

Top Tip: Give a little tutorial and point out where guys can find things like tip menus. This helps new members and provides a call to action to get the ball rolling. Do this every so often when you’re online. Once per hour is sufficient.

  • I’m so proud of you! You worked through my tried and tested methods to be the best you on cam and have come online firing!

So now just focus on having fun and the money will come!

How to set your boundaries

Annabelle 735 Views 0 Comments ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

Learn how to set your boundaries to lay down ground rules and command the respect of chat room visitors.

Who is the boss of your chat room? It is YOU! Not those who enter!

A common problem for cam models, especially newbies, is site members trying to take advantage and tell them what to do.

Members can be cheeky, bossy and persistent at times.

When a model is told to do things for no financial reward, including demands for things she is not comfortable with, this is tedious.

Inexperienced models are vulnerable to this nature of exploitation, so gaining awareness of what boundaries are and how to set them is key.

Help with how to set your boundaries

First thing’s first, what are your boundaries? Do you know how to define them? Consider these questions:

  • How do you want to appear to viewers? I advise, keep it classy for the most respectful approaches!
  • What are you prepared to do and show on cam? Think about your comfort levels in live mode versus private mode.
  • Which things are you not willing do on cam? Consider types of actions and shows involving nudity and sexual acts.
  • What level of behaviour do you expect from your viewers? Consider if you are happy to have both interactive and non interactive viewers present, and determine who you will permit to chat/stay in your room.
  • How you would like them to address and communicate with you? For example should they address you by name, by a title or by specific terms. Understand that politeness and common decency is what you deserve.
  • Would there be any rules you would set (your own code of conduct) on top of the site rules? This could relate to financial things like minimums or pretips. It could also relate to things like interaction and behaviour.

It is really important to be clear on your answers. Answer them how you feel most comfortable. Write them down for your reference. This forms the basis of how to set your boundaries and ultimately, how to manage your chat room.

Form your chat room rules and add to your profile

All cam sites have a bio section on the model profiles, where models can write information about themselves. Depending on the site, some also have a chat room rules or chat room notice section.

Wherever there is a free format box to input your own text, is a good place to make your own boundaries and rules clear.

Type your own rules out in short bullet points. Bullet points are easy for people to read and understand. Keep it polite and friendly.

Example of chat room rules:

Welcome to my chat room! I love you being here, please follow my rules:
1. Please say hi when you enter and address me as xxxxxx (enter name or titles)
2. Be polite and respectful to me and all members.
3. I love playing so tip for what you want to see! It’s all in the tip menu.
4. If you cannot tip, please do not make requests or demands as these will not be fulfilled.
5. Continual demands or other rudeness will see you banned.
6. Public chat is xxxxxx (enter requirement e.g. non nude / topless only. Fully nude is in private.
7. Please do not ask me for xxxxxx (enter types of acts or shows you exclude), I do not do these shows.
8. I have a minimum private show time of xx minutes / $ (enter amount). Please respect this.

Work on your own chat room rules using this as a guideline… Then go online and put your rules into action!

Enforce your rules

When members come into your room, you will find that some are proactive and read the profile information. Many others are not and will not. You can never tell who will and who won’t, so start voicing it!

It is perfectly fine to ask members to read and observe your rules when they enter. It might feel a little awkward to start with! However the more you do this, the more natural it feels.

A simple: “Hi guys, welcome to my room! Please read my chat room rules so you know how to engage with me, you can find these xxxxxx (explain where)” – is sufficient.

Annabelle

Doing this is a polite ice-breaker and commands respect as soon as members meet you. It lets people know you have expectations and boundaries… and standards!

Be strong! Stick to your rules and never lose sight of your boundaries.

If these are questioned by any person, inform them that webcamming is your job. You are there to work and operate as a professional.

If they do not wish to comply, they can leave (or you can kick them out)!

You’ll soon be bossing your chat room before you know it! You got this!

Now you know how to set your boundaries, would you like some help with show ideas?

Your webcam success hinges on…

Annabelle 602 Views 0 Comments ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

Your webcam success hinges on some essential character traits. Here I explain what these are and why they matter.

As an established presence in the industry, LVE Models are never short of aspiring models approaching in the quest for cam model success.

Where we differ from most agencies who play a numbers game, is we do not chase commission at the cost of the individual.

We do not sign just anyone, without considering whether they are suited to the work or not.

LVE Models look for a certain type of model and we are stringent with our interview process.

We do this because our experience tells us that only a certain type of model will be successful. And, it is not all about how they look in application photos.

Becoming a profitable cam model is 80% character and mental capacity to do the work. Only 20% is how the individual looks.

Your webcam success hinges on the right outlook and approach. We look for the following character traits in all applicants:

1. Attitude

First and foremost, a great attitude is required. This includes a likeable nature and a positive view on cam modelling as a whole.

A bad attitude results in a poor approach to the work. It also has a repelling effect on the guys who are most likely to spend the money.

In every case we refuse to take on candidates who do not possess a positive, personable attitude when we interview them.

2. Discipline

The ability to self-discipline is essential. This means to get online and work the required hours in order to make money and build the following.

Lack of self-discipline and flakiness never results in success.

Success is all about consistency, which comes only from the disciplined individuals.

We ask the following questions and make clear:

How serious are you about cam modelling?

How willing and able are you to commit and persist every week?

There is no overnight success in camming. It is a long game to become successful.

LVE Models

The candidates who understand the above and show that they possess this mindset and potential, are candidates we will invest time in.

3. Motivation

How capable are you to self-motivate? Self-motivation links back to the discipline element.

Remind yourself continually of your motives to work, i.e. why you want to be successful on cam, because this is the driving force.

Read my article Secrets to self-motivation to learn about motives and goal setting.

Lack of self-motivation often comes and goes in cam models, due to the industry peaks and troughs.

There are lucrative sessions and slow sessions. Good weeks and bad weeks.

Models should never take this personally as it is the same for all, even those at the high end.

LVE Models

The ability to stay motivated through thick and thin is paramount in order to be successful on cam.

We help models with motivation as part of our support group, however the willingness needs to be there to start with.

4. Resilience

Resilience goes hand in hand with motivation and discipline. This is the power to push through, no matter what!

The resilient, successful models will grind out the hours, focussed on their income target or goals, whether busy or slow online.

LVE Models

They stay strong, focussed on their game through difficult times.

They accept that dealing with unpleasant users or working through personal issues just is part and parcel of the job.

The prime candidate for cam model success will therefore:

Have AWESOME ATTITUDE * Be highly MOTIVATED * Be DISCIPLINED to work to a schedule * Possess the ability to stay strong and RESILIENT through the inevitable ups and downs.

Cam Model Mentoring

We here at LVE Models understand that these essential character traits will come easier in some indiviuals than others.

These traits are present in many individuals; they just need to be coached and encouraged. Others possess them naturally in abundance and need minimum mentoring.

Mentoring forms a major part of our development work with models.

LVE Models

We understand that every candidate’s mindset towards the idea of success can vary. Everyone’s mindset towards the industry can vary, too.

Some have far-fetched preconceptions of what it’s actually like to be a cam model, or what they have to do to be successful.

Mindset is formed due to factors like personal circumstances, habits, assumptions and past experiences.

We are very perceptive and where we sense significant negativity, this is never a good sign.

These are the candidates who are unlikely to be succesful on cam, therefore we don’t put them through the application process.

Where there are relatively minor objections, obstacles or assumptions we can clear up, we mentor these models along on the track to success.

Ethical Approach

During our interview process we give all candidates a reality check. We lay on the line what is expected of them.

We take an ethical approach, vetting candidates for suitability and checking they are mentally in a good place to do the work.

LVE Models

Our experience tells us that models who have significant barriers to working on cam, will by default not be successful on cam.

This is purely because they will not get on and work the required hours to be successful.

These might be physical or mental barriers, or to do with family or relationships.

We turn many applicants away based on the fact they either don’t possess what we require, or we feel the industry will have negative bearing on their mental welfare or home life.

Some we send away armed with information to consider, and leave it down to them to decide if it is right for them.

Webcamming is not for everyone. There are psychological implications of the industry. Read my article This is SEX WORK, can you handle it?

Now you have an idea what your success on webcam hinges on, take a more detailed look around my blog. You’ll find more articles to l help you decide if webcamming is right for you, and if you are right for webcamming.

Nova Ramone: “Why strippers make the best camgirls”

Annabelle 1354 Views 2 Comments ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

Pink Champagne’s Nova flies the flag for exotic dancers building their success in the camming world. We discuss how Covid19 was a blessing in disguise, why strippers make the best camgirls and how our two brands have found the perfect synergy.

Exotic dance agency owner Nova Ramone is one of two partners facing up Pink Champage Entertainment. She is also one of LVE Models‘ feature performers.

Pink Champagne Entertainment is 100% female owned and operated, based in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

Nova and her business partner Ivy West created their own brand following years working the strip venues.

They had experienced first hand the unethical ways some male dominated agencies failed their entertainers, and wanted to revolutionise the stigma.

Pink Champagne’s mission is to provide a safe, respectful and motivational atmosphere for all exotic entertainers to work and thrive in.

We have been so disappointed with how female dancers are treated. Some agencies charge such high fees and take a greater chunk of earnings than they rightfully should.

At Pink Champagne our primary focus is the entertainers; their growth, safety and empowerment. As a result, they’re happy and put out quality performances.

Nova Ramone

The Covid19 game changer

Business was booming for Pink Champagne, when the Covid19 pandemic shook the world in the early part of 2020. The same way it did in almost every other country and continent, the dreaded C-word spread like wildfire in Canada.

Nobody knew how long it would go on, but the fate of strip clubs and all other social nightlife forms saw them dark and desolate for the next two to three years.

With mass shutdowns and mass panic; individuals working in these sectors were forced to explore other options.

It was a matter of doing whatever you could, just to keep your head above water.

With concerns over the future of her business amidst the Covid uncertainty, the Pink Champagne lady initially turned her hand to content creating on a major fans platform.

Like anyone else who’s ever tried content creating will know, it can be a tedious promo campaign for little gain.

Unless you have hundreds of thousands of social media followers, getting signups is hard and keeping them subscribing is even harder.

Nova Ramone

After a year not going anywhere on the fans platform, came her lucky break.

A connection from Nova’s dancing network – a fellow Canadian recently signed to LVE Models – led her to the cam model opportunity via a shoutout on her Instagram story.

“I turned to webcamming during Covid because I needed to make money quickly.

I had tried Only Fans for a year, it was a lot of effort for very little reward.

A fellow dancer who had joined LVE Models tagged them on an Instagram post.

She told me how it worked and that the network was lucrative. I immediately submitted my application.

Honestly, the pandemic was a blessing in disguise. Had it not been for Covid, I would not have discovered how amazing this is.“

Why strippers make the best camgirls

Nova and I, both from an exotic dancing background; discussed our collective ideology of why strippers make the best camgirls.

We concluded that it is because webcamming is the perfect compliment to exotic dancing, due to the principles being much the same.

For starters, any female who is comfortable taking her clothes off in front of a stranger has already embraced her next-level confidence.

The appealing physical movements of lapdancers are transferable online and make great cam shows. These girls know how work their bodies to get the men spending their cash!

It takes a certain level of mental aptitude and discipline to manage onself in both of these environments.

Lapdancers, once they’ve gone the distance in that arena, are well-primed to take the next step into camming.

Adult entertainment is so much more than people realise. Both dancing and camming require a certain level of perception and self-awareness that only a certain type of female has.

In both areas you’re doing sales, advertising, networking, performing and so much more. You’re an agency in and of yourself.

Nova Ramone

Nova believes her consistent and adaptable approach has helped her master her top-notch money-making skills.

The arts of self-selling and conversational fluency are essential when working one’s magic on the best spenders, be it in person or online.

Our experience tells us that these things, accordingly, come with experience.

Gaining these skills is something any performer can do but it’s a long game which requires persistence and resilience.

Many just drop away if they don’t pay attention to this requirement or can’t be bothered to invest the time in learning.

Camming is highly competitive. On every cam site there are thousands of camgirls hustling for the attention of tippers.

Females who have worked in strip clubs where the mentality is similar are at an advantage on cam. They’ve become tough to thrive in a cut-throat environment.

Nova Ramone

Let us not forget that strippers are undoubtedly in the forefront where it comes to creativity, as a result of their ability to adapt theme and styling for dance shows. This is gold when translated into live cam shows.

As a dancer I am used to getting into character. I can make absolutely any setting or scenario into a sexy fun time in which to monetise.

Every day and night is different as a stripper or as a camgirl. Whatever crowd I experience I am able to take it in, adapt and slay.

Nova Ramone

Working in synergy

Since Nova came on board with LVE Models, a natural synergy began to form between the two companies.

Both LVE Models and Pink Champagne offer a high-end professional service, helping high quality models and performers be successful.

They help individuals achieve their the maximum earning potential whilst ensuring they feel comfortable and supported in their respective outlets.

LVE Models are what Pink Champagne Entertainment is all about: community spirit and lifting each other up. This is important and fundamental to the success of individuals and companies as a whole.

There is no throwing girls into the mix to figure it out on their own. They prepare you to become a pro and support you through learning the platform.

It doesn’t matter how much experience you have in any subset of sex work; a new outlet can be overwhelming. LVE Models take that factor out and make it stress-free.

LVE Models don’t charge commission like other agencies do. Models are motivated knowing they can earn good money whilst being appreciated for their hard work.

Nova Ramone

Providing the road map

“The amount of information, tips and experience LVE Models pass on to their models is mind-boggling.

The platform is very expansive with many options and features.

Without the road map that LVE Models provide I would have spent this past year just trying to get my footing with all of it.

The guidance ensured I came in prepared to hit the ground running, and with confidence.

Beyond that, I was connected to other LVE Models through a group Whatsapp, so questions or issues outside of the standard guidance can be sounded out with other cam models, who are all supportive like a sisterhood.”

Maximising the potential

Through the past year Nova has introduced her Pink Champagne dancers to LVE Models and features them into her cam shows. Not only has this enabled creativity to hit new heights, stronger bonds have formed between the entertainers.

This has proven invaluable to their working relationships; both as lapdancers and as camgirls.

It was due to my success and satisfation with LVE that I recommended many dancers in my company to join.

Over half of Pink Champagne’s entertainers are now registered on the platform, including my business partner Ivy West.

I arrange duo shows and we switch these up with different themes and goal shows each time.

Beyond that, us having such intimacy on cam means our shows are raw, genuine, and dynamic as all hell!

Nova Ramone

Evolving customer relationships

Nova keeps her busy chat room bolstered by her exotic dance followers. Her sharp business brain told her it would be a good idea to get Pink Champagne business cards printed with her chat room link on.

So she did, and she hands these out at her dance events, enabling customers she meets face to face to visit her online.

Some of the entertainers Nova has brought to the network have gone ahead and done the same. This tactic engineers additional revenue from their private dance guys, which in the process helps the dancing girls become establised cam models.

Nova explains that these visitors are men they’ve formed close connections with, owing to previously meeting in person. Close connections result in them wanting more.

Having an online platform to meet again faciliates this in a way which respects the entertainers’ personal boundaries.

From our customers’ perspectives, they get to watch beautiful women performing as strippers. This gets them hot, whilst they know they cannot do anything more than enjoy seeing us naked.

Giving them a card with our chat room info means they can do exactly what they think about doing to us, through tip activated toys.

It’s a whole new level of interacting which they find exciting and brings in a respectable amount of income!

Nova Ramone

The sky’s the limit with LVE Models

“LVE Models can skyrocket you to top model standing if you’re ready to put in the time and effort.

If you want to maximise your income and grow your network, LVE Models is a major brand booster.

Their support, guidance and coaching combined with your commitment is what will bring you success.

The promotional perks are wonderful and they pay off, especially for feature shows! Anytime I’ve taken advantage of these the results have been phenomenal.

Lastly, I’m not ashamed to tell you I made more money in my first two weeks with LVE Models than I did in a whole year on Only Fans.

Joining LVE Models has been such a positive experience for me. They enabled me to thrive, not just survive the pandemic and strenghten my own brand in the process!

I recommend any exotic dancer to join and grow your network here!”

With special thanks to Nova Ramone at Pink Champagne Entertainment.
