Choosing your cam model name

Annabelle 40 Views 2 Comments ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

When starting out on cam, one of the first tasks is choosing your cam model name.

Your cam model name is your username, your identity, your image, your vibe, your personality, your creativity, your statement, your brand.

You should take care when choosing your cam model name. It is very important you get this right, as once this is set it can be hassle to change it.

Often changing your name means a complete new sign up and starting again from scratch.

So consider this very important element carefully and make sure you’re 100% happy with your name before you go live with it on cam.

How to choose a great name

Choosing your cam model name is an exciting early step in your journey to becoming a cam model.

It enables you to start defining your identity, brand and become the sexiest cam model alter-ego you ever wished to be!

Your cam model name is what you set as your username. It is also what you have your fans call you. Choose a format of first name and a surname, or chose one singular name.

While I can’t choose your name for you, I can give you some ideas of what to think about for choosing a great name.

Here is my list of ideas your cam model name could be inspired by:

  1. Your favourite colour or shade of colour.
  2. Your favourite country in the world.
  3. Your favourite city in the world.
  4. A place which is a memorable or magical place to you.
  5. A beach or desert you love.
  6. A sweet treat you love.
  7. A type of fabric you love.
  8. Something mystical or mythical.
  9. A name that relates to something you love about the earth, the sky, the sun, the heavens or the Universe.
  10. A name that relates to your astrological star sign.
  11. Your favourite female name in your culture or another culture you love.
  12. Your favourite cocktail or wine.
  13. Your favourite precious gem or metal.
  14. Your favourite flower, tree or plant.
  15. A scent you love, such as a perfume.
  16. A fairy or angel name.
  17. A bird of paradise name.
  18. A style of dance you love.
  19. A spiritual word that represents your vibe or persona.
  20. A name that relates to a sport or fitness type you’re into.
  21. A style of music you love.
  22. A type of car you love.
  23. A word that represents “beautiful,” “sexy,” “love,” “wild,” “goddess,” “divinity” or similar words in English or a foreign language.
  24. A physical trait you have that’s a stand-out feature, such as eye colour, chest size, butt appearance.
  25. A character trait you have that comes out naturally, or one you want to be known for as a trademark style, e.g. smily, sassy, bratty, kinky.
  26. Your heritage or accent that people would identify with, such as French, Asian, Brazilian, Native.
  27. Hints to do with your sexuality, kinks or sexual preferences, such as horny, fetish, goddess, slave, freaky.
  28. Titles such as Lady, Mistress, Queen, Madame, Princess.
  29. A name from a book or movie that has stuck with you.
  30. A name that makes you feel empowered because it represents something or someone that inspires you.

You’ll need to be surely sure you’re sure of your cam model name, before setting it as your username!

What not to do when choosing a cam model name

Don’t choose a name that somebody else is already using. Check Google under any proposed name you come up with. Also check on the site you’re signing up to that nobody else has the same name, or too similar. You can do this by popping the name into the search bar on the site.

Never choose your real name, or a name that’s too similar to your own. This is for your own privacy and safety.

Don’t choose a nickname that’s used by your friends or family. This is one sure way to get rumbled! Unless you want everybody in your personal circle knowing you cam, never be your personal nickname on cam.

Don’t choose a name that makes you feel ick. It may be stating the obvious. However a cam model name should be a name you’re proud to call yourself, not one that makes you cringe with embarrassment.

Never copy the exact name of a celebrity. Nobody likes copycats and it could get you into issues with copyright. Remain completely original.

Understand that your name will become ingrained on the web. Once you start working on cam, your url for any site you work on, along with any social media, will become links on the world wide web. So make sure the name is one you wish to keep for the long term, as those links are difficult to change if you change your mind on your name.

Next steps

Now you’re on the right thought process for choosing your cam model name, write down a shortlist of a few you like.

Have fun with the process as you are about to create your new cam alter-ego! Make sure you like her and her name.

Take a day or two to think about it, say your name to yourself in the mirror to see if it suits you and you feel good with it.

With most cam sites, you’ll need to register your username right at the start of the signup process. So once your cam model name is decided, create your username in this name. Add it in whichever format the site requires. This may be lower case, a mixture of lower case and capitols, with or without numbers if you want any.

Prepare to launch yourself as a cam model

With cam model name set and signup process underway, now is a good time to learn about the basics of creating your cam model persona and presenting yourself online.

The more reading and research you can do, the better prepared you’ll feel to start with confidence.

Nova: “You can be a successful camgirl with ADHD”

Nova 73 Views 0 Comments ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

I’m Nova and I’m here to tell you, you can be a successful camgirl with ADHD.

ADHD and camming is a tough mix. Camming requires focus, attention and commitment to your planned work schedule. ADHD by nature, is the opposite of this.

I’ve struggled against ADHD fairly constantly through my four years of camming.

The fidgeting, the inability to focus when my room is quiet, the tired mornings due to my difficulty getting proper sleep.

Maybe the worst thing is the impatience and over-thinking that comes from the days I don’t do so well.

The good news is that when harnessed, ADHD can be a superpower for camming.

Our strong points

  • Thrive: When things are busy, we thrive! Our brain is wired for multi-tasking when the shows get going that other people don’t come so easily too.
  • Creativity: Our ADHD makes us creative and spontaneous! How could these not be a win for the work we are doing?
  • Emotion: People with ADHD are also naturally emotional, vulnerable and compassionate. This allows us to really connect to our fans when they decide to connect with us.

Dealing with our struggles

There are big struggles with ADHD. The four main things I attribute to my ability to harness it are:

1. Good sleep hygiene

I have some info that you should read about this:

2. Exercise

Get out that extra energy that gets bottled! Cause more often then not that turns into anxiety! 30 min of cardio a day is all I do and it makes all the difference.

3. Good diet

People underestimate the power our gut has over our changing moods. A healthy diet is so important if we want to have more positivity in our moods.

4. Schedule

Figuring out the daily/weekly schedules and routines that work best for me and BEING CONSISTENT WITH THEM! So many new models underestimate the power of consistency through the day off camera and through the live shows.

How I harness my ADHD powers

I write lists for things outside of the routine and work through those things when I have spare time for them. The routine comes first because without it, the dominoes start to fall.

As for keeping my attention in check when the room is quiet, practicing being present and mindful every morning before my shows is paramount.

Annabelle has a great article regarding pre-show self care and how to be the best you. It is incredibly comprehensive and on point. I very much suggest reading it. Here.

Beyond that I always have music playing that I truly love to dance to. When it’s quiet I sink completely into it and find my happiness in it. The fans feel that energy through the camera.

Find something that you love, that sparks you and helps you exude that joy and do it on camera when it’s slow. The trick is finding something that keeps you playing to the camera.

Painting works well, as do mini workouts (guys love to see your body work). Or just finding new ways to pose yourself on camera, appreciate your beauty and take that time to pour some love into you instead of your adoring fans.

If all else fails, take a little break, hype yourself up, change your outfit and try again.

This can refresh the energy and expose you to a new wave of online fans which can pull you out of the low feeling that comes with a slow room.

We are definitely wired different. But that doesn’t mean we can’t harness that unique programming and make it work for us.

You can be a successful camgirl with ADHD… If I can, you can!

Amara: “My first 6 months as a live camgirl”

Amara 162 Views 0 Comments ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

I’m Amara and I’m here to share how I’ve found my first 6 months as a live camgirl.

I started my journey into webcamming in January 2024, having lost my job following a probation period.

On the same day as losing my job, I was also supposed to do my annual re-registration in my profession.

I decided against that, having been working almost six years in my career and ultimately unhappy.

Being creative, likely neurodivergent and with a rebellious side I could not exercise in my career, the corporate world just did not suit me.

I played with the idea of switching to another career and industry and even upskilled to apply for other roles. This will sound familiar to a lot of people.

After a period of applying and knowing that I could not pretend to care anymore, I decided against going back into an office environment.

I was so certain it would not work for me and would do anything to avoid going back.

Needs must so I started doing newspaper rounds to cover the bills immediately.

In terms of longer term work, I knew I needed something that fulfilled the wild side that has always been there.

I began looking into adult entertainment and went on Tiktok to look for information about becoming a stripper. I was keen to hear from black women in the industry, and what works for them.

Reaching out

Someone caught my eye on Tiktok so I messaged her for advice. She was kind enough to reach out send me some information.

The info led me to a site called ‘Laptastic’ which is a lapdancing agency.

It is there I saw an affiliate company ‘LVE Models.’

I had heard about webcam modelling at a younger age. The ability to work for myself from home were the first things that struck a chord with me.

This was the very type of opportunity I had been looking for. After doing research, I saw that LVE Models offer mentoring and no prior experience was needed. 

I liked the information they presented online and watched their model video testimonials.

I approached them and they were very responsive and helpful.

There has been no bullshit when it comes to LVE Models, they are real people. I have truly been guided and supported. I believe this is because the mentoring is run by someone who has years of experience as a cam model, and genuinely cares.

Now I am almost 6 months into my webcamming career. My confidence has grown and I am enjoying interacting with customers from a positive stance.

Of course there are a few trolls, but these are easy to block and the majority of interactions are positive.

Things I love

I have a good laugh with a lot of customers. Having fun makes camming more worthwile and helps motivate me on days were I’m not feeling best.

A huge learning curve in how to overcome hurdles and practice patience, as camming takes a lot of that.

I’m enjoying caring for myself, getting up with a purpose and making myself up. Having to look good on cam forces me make the effort, so I feel good about about my appearance each day.

I’ve also really enjoyed challenging myself by adding content creation to my bow.

I set up an X account so I’m pushing my content through social media and building my following there.

High times

Winning the $500 bonus prize in a competition for gaining the most followers between March – April! This has been my greatest moment so far!

Most recently I  had a supporter request a Lovense toy wishlist!  The additional toys have really boosted my streams.

This came at a really good time and my goal going forward is to push my targets further with this.

I have already had the opportunity to fulfill some of my goals through webcamming. Being able to pick my location, take time for myself and become a lot happier, all these things for the win!

I am also able to be flexible with my hours and choose when I work. This works really well as I have other interests and like getting involved in other projects.

I  find camming to be the most liberating job I’ve ever done. I’ve absolutely loved my first 6 months as a live camgirl and I look forward to continuing on this journey.

Amara’s top tips for new camgirls

  • Practice patience and consistency. Camming, like anything, only works well if you’re consistent.
  • Try different times of the day, different outfits, personas and positions to work out what fits you best. 
  • Take regular breaks if you find you cannot work longer sessions. Camming can be draining. It affects the outcome when energy is depleted.
  • Have hobbies and other things going on outside of cam, so you look forward to working on cam.
  • Camming allows you to be who you want to be, so nurture that authenticity and be proud of it.

MENTORING

Be the best you on cam

Annabelle 501 Views 1 Comment ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

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!

Monetize your Snapchat

Annabelle 398 Views 0 Comments ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

Cam models, get creative with these smart ways to monetize your Snapchat and increase revenue from fans.

Do you use Snapchat? If not, here’s why you should get on it…

Why Snapchat?

  • Snapchat is a social media networking app, available for desktop and mobile.
  • Free to download and packed full of fun features.
  • Flexible options including text messaging, photo and video “snap” messaging, video calling and phone calling.
  • Snapchat is discrete. Messages between users are private and delivered in real time.
  • Privacy features: You can see if the other person screenshots or saves. This helps you to monitor their behaviour.
  • Chat history auto-deletes after 24 hours. This removes all chat which has not been saved.
  • Snapchat keeps your phone number and personal information private.
  • You can make your Snapchat undiscoverable to those on your personal contact list.

How to Snapchat

  1. Create a username which supports your cam/creator name (not your real name). It takes around 5 minutes, via Snapchat.com or Snapchat on the App store.
  2. Have a play around with making photo and video snaps, and exploring the fun filters so you know what to do once you get your first Snapchatters on board.
  3. Sell your Snapchat for a reasonable subscription cost. Promote this on your cam site (if permitted), along with your content pages and social media.
  4. Once you have some followers, make photo or video snaps. They view these on their snap feeds to stay connected with you.
  5. Post daily, if you can. You can show off your look, personality and update fans what you’re up to in chat clips.
  6. Give them hot teases to keep them interested, and bring them to you for interaction – which you then monetize.
  7. Provide calls to action. Custom content deals, instructions to visit you on cam, information on your availability to “play” on Snapchat. Let fans know what their options are and how to request/book.
  8. Post the links they’ll use to pay, or visit you online.

Subscription package

One of the amazing things about Snapchat is you can offer a variety of subscription options.

You can let fans subscribe for one week, one month, one year or a lifetime. It’s up to you how you price this. Keeping pricing on the lower side will encourage more fans to purchase and help you monetize your Snapchat.

Make it clear what you include with the subscription. You have messenger chatting and sext (sex texting), photo/video Snap swaps, GFE packages (Girl Friend Experience), video calls, phone calls and custom content.

Alternatively, you can offer your Snapchat subscription-free.

You would monetize it by promoting offers for any of the above benefits, to your captive audience.

Suggested subscription pricing:

  • One week £5 (or equivalent in tokens)
  • One month £15
  • One year £65
  • Lifetime £100

Video calls

Monetize your Snapchat with one to one video calls. These are private and done over Wifi or 4G data.

Offer a time package such as 15 minutes or 30 minutes, with a one-off payment.

Let your Snapchatters know what they can do with you on a video call.

Ideas include masturbation, toy play, blowjob, femdom, roleplay, fetish, and shower or bath shows.

How about enjoy deep and meaningful conversations with your favourite supportive regulars?

Once show is agreed, have them tip prior to starting. This way you are assured of the money and they don’t benefit from your time for free.

A weekly GFE package should include calls, photos and sext as benefits. Fans pay up front a lump sum for the week. In exchange, give them the volume and frequency of the benefits agreed in the package.

Snapchat video calls are usually cam to cam, which means you both can see each other.

If your Snapchatter disables their video so you can only hear but not see them, this is because they wish to guard their privacy.

This should not bother you, however discuss preferences first, so there are no misunderstandings.

For video calls to be successful, everyone needs to be comfortable.

Suggested video call pricing:

  • 15 minutes £20 (or equivalent in tokens)
  • 30 minutes £50
  • 60 minutes £75
  • One week GFE including messaging with a daily call £400-£500

Phone calls

Monetize your Snapchat with audio (phone) calls. These work really well. Offer packages for time.

Shout out your phone call offers on your snap feed. Do this as a photo snap with text over the top (don’t forget to include how to pay).

Alternatively, do a video snap talking to your followers, hyping it up with a call to action!

With Snapchat phone calls you can indulge in phone sex, dirty talk, fantasies, roleplays, femdom instructions and anything else!

As with video calls, there is so much scope for creativity. I have personally used this feature a lot through my years of camming. It is a favourite!

Suggested phone call pricing:

  • 10 mins call £15
  • 20 mins call £25
  • 30 mins call £40
  • 60 mins call £65

Sext packages

Monetize your Snapchat with sext packages, these are so fun!

You can sext via the messenger-style text chat feature or by sending video snaps, pic snaps or voice notes.

Offer sext on a daily, weekly or monthly rate. Also offer short time period sext sessions such as 15, 30 or 60 minutes.

Make it clear how much time they get, along with frequency and method of messaging.

Snapchat sexting is perfect for masturbation, fantasy, roleplay, femdom and GFE chat.

Suggested Snapchat sexting pricing:

  • Daily sext £45
  • Weekly sext £250
  • Monthly sext £600
  • 15 mins sext £15
  • 30 mins sext £35
  • 60 mins sext £50

Publish your Snapchat offers

  • Create a banner or flyer using a photo editing app.
  • Choose your best photo to add your offers in text over the top. Include your subscription deal, video call, phone sex and sext options.
  • Post on your social media and add your pay methods.
  • Instruct fans how and where to tip for the package they would like.
  • Let them know to provide their Snapchat username with their payment.
  • Add custom tip amounts for your Snapchat packages to your cam site (usually you can do this in a tipping menu or bio).
  • Once fans monetize your Snapchat, be responsive and interact with them right away.
  • Make sure you honour what they purchase and deliver amazing service – if you want them to monetize regularly.

Stay in control

Here are my guidelines to monetize Snapchat on a continual and controlled basis:

  1. Respond to fans in a positive manner, but don’t be a pushover!
  2. Be aware of the individuals who regularly reward your time. Show these guys you appreciate them with extra attentiveness.
  3. Be aware of those who do not respect your time, once on your Snapchat. You can always remove them.
  4. Remind monetized fans to tip again for future engagements. Do this by posting your pricing at least twice per week.
  5. Run flash sales, for example pairing up options at a reduced rate (or offer a freebie). Consider deals like custom video + free 20 min phone call package; 15 min video call + 30 mins sexting; free 15 min sexting with every subscription renewal. Deals often trigger action from fans.
  6. If any fan creeps regularly into your DMs without monetizing your time, you can delete them.

Now you are armed with all the basics you’ll need to monetize your Snapchat, go ahead and make that dough!

Top cam model and content creator Honey Martinez explains how to gain 100k followers in 6 months.

“Being successful is all about building your following and posting all the time.“

Exotic performer and creator Honey, who goes by the names of Honey Martinezzz and Honeythemilf, began camming and content creating in 2016.

Honey, from Vancouver Canada, is renowned for her eye-popping curves and adult natured content.

Featuring on many well-known platforms she tempts her fans with videos, live chat and subscription-based offerings.

As an interactive model Honey performs solo and group shows.

She is responsive to the demands of fans for boy-girl and girl-girl videos. These fly on her promotional campaigns which include direct messaging across multiple platforms as well as social media.

Despite previously having had her socials hacked, scammed and wiped out; the follower-hungry Canadian came back with a vengeance.

With her smart self-promotion strategy, the model gained a staggering 100k followers in 6 months.

How to gain 100k followers in 6 months

So Honey, tell us exactly how you did it?

I post a lot on X. I’m active there most days but as a minimum, four times a week.

I am also in RT (retweet) groups which have helped me gain a lot of followers in a short space of time.

Honey Martinez

X – formally Twitter, is one of the leading platforms for adult creators. There are no restrictions on nature of content and it is easy for sharing and tagging for maximum exposure.

Honey understands what does well on social media and pays attention to detail. By ensuring she puts out nothing but high quality, high definition photos and clips on X, this ensures maximum ‘like’ and retweet potential by fans and promotors.

I find the best content for getting shared is short clips. When I post short clips, like 10 seconds long, these get the most views and retweets.

Honey Martinez

Tagging large promo accounts helps achieve vast reach on the platform, because of the “RT for RT” etiquette on X.

Promo accounts and creators retweet posts of other creators and the end result is one big cross promotional campaign

All this additional exposure entices more fans to Honey’s profile, and guess what? They all click the follow button!

Promo accounts specific to adult creators have tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of followers. For anybody trying to build a presence on social media in that specific industry, these are useful guys to have on board.

The constant hustle

As with anything you wish to be successful in, to stay on the grind is to keep momentum on track.

Honey tells me it is not always easy to consistent, for example during times of sickness or vacation.

The biggest challenge is taking time out from social media.

The penalty is loss of motivation and the necessity of extra time investing in building back up.

Once you take a long break it is hard to get back into that working habit.

I try my best to push through and stay motivated. It takes a while to get back in the flow.

Honey Martinez

The Canadian star explains that it is worth it when you discover the valuable fans amongst the masses who just follow to creep on the free content.

There are loads on X who never do anything but amongst them are buyers.

Get as many followers as you can because you never know who will buy your content or do cam shows.

The dark side

There may be potential to monetize genuine fans, but there is a dark side to gaining a massive social media following.

The continual threat of fraudsters out to make a quick buck is a problem that will never go away.

As well as the possibility of financial loss, the integrity and reputation of a well-established model or influencer is at stake.

In 2023, Honey was victim of a textbook catfish scam. She was duped by a follower who claimed to have experience in helping creators build their profiles.

They contacted her through X to offer help to increase her revenue potential. All the while, stealing her content and pocketing profits under a fake profile.

This follower on my X said they wanted to help build my page. I discovered later that the whole time they were pretending to be me on another account they had set up, with content they had stolen from my X.

They were scamming my fans, getting them to pay for stuff they then never got.

You can imagine the headaches this caused when fans were messaging, on my case about stuff I knew nothing about.

It took time to put the record straight and make them understand that it wasn’t me, it was the scammers.

Honey Martinez

What exactly happened in this case is this: content and video calls were promoted on the fake Honey Martinez profile with payment links to the scammer.

They even hacked into Honey’s legitimate profile, changing her password which made it impossible for her to access it to warn fans about what was going on.

It was so stressful, I reported this to X and got friends and fans to report it also. It took quite a long time to get the fake page taken down.

In the end I went to Cam Model Protection and they got it removed pretty quickly.

Protect yourself on social media

Most models and creators would love to gain 100k in 6 months, just like Honey Martinezzz. We know that engaging fans on socials can boost revenue.

We also know mass exposure attracts the of shady behaviour of catfishers and other scammers.

So if you want to start you own campaign to gain 100k followers in 6 months… protect yourself:

  • Watermark all content with your logo, username and/or the name of the site which hosts the content. This way, if it gets stolen, you can prove where it originated from for any copyright claims.
  • Do not respond to randoms who claim they will help you build your following or monetize content. In every case these approaches are scams.
  • It is best not to follow back everyone who follows, as this enables them easy access to message and be a nuisance.
  • Do not open any links that followers attempt to send you via tweet or DM.
  • Consider making social media private, and request to follow. While it is less easy to gain mass following this way, it does tighten privacy and security.
  • Consider working with a content protection agency to remove any stolen content and impersonation accounts. We recommend Cam Model Protection.

Get subscribers to your fans page

Annabelle 767 Views 0 Comments ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

Are you a creator stuggling to get subscribers to your fans page? It’s time to join the platform that brings the fans to you!

Do you spend hours every week making content, uploading to your page and promoting on social media? If yes, read on…

From experience, I know creating content and building a fans page can take a lot of time out of your day.

Once you have it all made, it looks amazing!

You’re proud of it and want to show it off. People may look, but do they commit? You need to get subscribers.

Sure, you can try shouting about it on Instagram, X, TikTok and other social media channels.

That’s great!… If you have 1M followers on those platforms.

Even at that level, it is a numbers game. Followers can be flaky, even invisible.

The vast majority of social media followers are not willing or able to pay to see content. Many are not even genuine accounts.

The social media channels are awash with waste-of-space profiles. Many fake or spam accounts, others just scrolling or lurking.

There is no value to these followers. They have no attention or understanding.

For this reason it is not easy to gain subscribers to your fans page from social media, as it can be hard to find genuine fans.

Annabelle

Out of those social followers who are genuine and understand what its all about, some will join for a snoop.

They’ll sub’ one time for a month to see what’s on offer, then don’t bother to renew.

Winning fans’ pledges for monthly subs is the arduous part of building a successful fans page.

Without getting monthly commitment, it barely seems worth the hassle. You end up feeling undervalued for your time and effort.

Many models attempt to get subscribers to their fans page by offering it subscription free. They will put a certain amount as free to view and the “good” stuff behind paywalls.

That is a smart strategy, providing fans are good quality and have the funds (or the desire) to pay to unlock the good stuff. And when they join for free, then don’t spend, this only advances the headache.

If this scenario sounds tediously familiar, you are in the same boat as the vast majority who have the same dream as you.

That dream is, to make thousands of pounds selling content on a subcription-based fans page.

The issue is not you as the model.

Providing your content is high quality, the issue is not your content either.

The issue is how you get traffic to your fans page.

Annabelle

How creator sites work

If you’re one who’s already dived in thinking it’s easy making money from a fans page, I’m sorry you have learnt the hard way.

You will have been told to promote, promote, promote on social media. This is because generally, creator sites have no traffic of their own, therefore are unable to send subscribers to your fans page.

Creator sites provide the framework on which creators host their fan pages. They’re packed with all sorts of neat features which creators can use as tools for selling content.

How they make their money, is they drive creators to bring them the fans. They ean their commission for the privilege of creators bringing the business to them.

These sites ultimately rely on influencers and celebrities to fund a vast percentage of fans payments to their site. Big name creators advertise their fans pages which raises greater awareness of the brand.

As a result the creator sites gain member signups along with more creators, who then bring them more member signups and attract more creators. It is a very clever business model.

Unfortunately, those members signups brought in by influencer creators do not benefit the unknown creator who starts at the bottom.

Newbies have have to build their presence by finding their own fans.

It can take years to get to “influencer” level and still, most will never make it. Usually this involves a lucky break.

The bottom line is… if you are not an influencer or celebrity, getting interest for your fans page is a hard hustle. Many individuals soon realise this, and give up.

Now I can see you shrugging your shoulders with a “been there, done it, bought the T-shirt” type sigh.

So it gives me great please to say… “Wait! There is a way!”

You can build a successful fans page and you can find fans willing to pay.

Forget about wasting more time making those cliched “link in bio” posts (yawn) on social media, (the ones very few bother to click are they’re too busy scrolling).

How to get subscribers to your fans page

Join the platfrom that brings the fans to you!

Being a successful creator is not just about creating high quality content. It is about being a great salesperson too.

We know that face-to-face marketing works, as people buy from people.

You can meet genuine fans on a platform with all the tools that do everything a creator site does… which has traffic!

Annabelle

Do these things:

  1. Join the right platforn (I’ll help you with this at the end of this article).
  2. Position yourself in a live chat scenario and meet your subscribers face to face, online. This way, you directly engage them.
  3. Chat, let them get to know the face behind the photos. Be personable and charm them.
  4. Unleash your powers of persuasion by upselling your fans page – simply, talk about what’s on offer there.
  5. Offer them a joining gift or incentive such as an introductory discount. Alternatively, offer a free personalised photoset or short welcome tease video.
  6. Offer their incentive on-the-spot (like a flash sale) if they instantly subscribe.
  7. Once they’re in your page, do your great customer service. Message them on the day they join to connect in chat and arrange their welcome gift.

Why this works

When you meet your potential subscribers face to face on a chat-based platform, the numbers game has greater odds.

This is because the fans you chat with are registered network members, with billing in place.

These are not the same social media ghosts who lurk on Instagram and never like or comment, let alone click that link in the bio.

These network members already spend money. They engage in live chat, tip models and do private shows (which you too can benefit from). They buy media content and customs.

All you need to do once you’ve got their attention is point out the “click to buy” button in your chat room.

They do not need a seperate signup.

Just one click and they are on your fans page.

Another click and they’ve subscribed.

Piece of cake!

Ongoing commitment

Once you have your fans, you need to work smart to keep them on board. This is very important, otherwise they may get complacent.

Add regular high quality content and you will get them hooked and wanting more!

Annabelle

Do these things:

  1. Add a piece of high quality, high definition content daily, or as a minimum five days per week. This can be an HD video, a photoset (make sure the lighting is great), some POV snaps (make sure these are clear definition), or an audio message, for example.
  2. Message with your subscribed fans often to keep them engaged and returning to your page every day, hungry to see more of you.
  3. Offer them custom content packages on photosets, videos and audio content. This way you will build a strong and personal relationship with your fans.
  4. If they drop away, offer them a rejoining incentive with a % discount to win back their business.

Also, I want to tell you that on this platform, you get 80% payout of everything your fans spend on the content you create for your fans page!

Knowing your platform has provided you not only with the tools to build your fans page, but has provided the fans also, is an absolute WIN!

Annabelle

Finally you have a platform that brings the fans to you!

Make money with cam model toys

Annabelle 977 Views 1 Comment ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

Make money with cam model toys! Here are our top 5 recommendations of lucrative toys to consider for working online.

Every cam model needs her professional ‘tools of the trade.’

In this wonderful age of tech innovation we are fortunate to have toys which are interactive with cam sites, which serve as next-level tipping tools.

How it works, is, members tip and toys activate. In other words, models enjoy having their vibrations controlled by their paying fans.

In return, fans love watching their favourite models “get off” whilst monetizing their pleasure… so its a win-win!

The majorty of cam sites have responded to this innovation with in-built interfaces to enable their performers to make money with cam model toys.

The most popular and widely used of these such toys, is the Lovense brand.

Interactive sex tech

Lovense toys provide multiple options for both female and male interactive enjoyment.

They work over Bluetooth technology and are integratable via web browser or the smartphone apps Lovense Remote and Lovense Connect.

At LVE Models, we have 100% of our models using Lovense toys. They all find them essential tools for earning the big bucks.

Models who start without such toys soon realise they need one. Once they have purchased and integrated their first Lovense toy into their shows, they make more money instantly!

Our top 5 favourites

#1. Lush3

The most popular of the Lovense toys, and an absolute must-have, the Lush3 is a vibrating egg. It is quiet, not too large and most models find it comfortable to wear internally.

It is a breeze to use once you slip it in. The Lush3 enables the hands to be free to do other things whilst fans control the vibrations.

We rate the Lush3 a 5 star toy. All of our models have these and collectively they have made hundreds of thousands of dollars with them! *****

Purchase the Lush3 here

#2. Domi2

We also love the Domi wand. It is extremely powerful and provides mind-blowing results!

It is quiet versus most other wands.

You need to hold it in your hand, however, your fans can take care of the vibrations whilst you make money having fun.

The Domi can be used jointly with other Lovense toys such as the Lush3. This is perfect for multi-toy shows which encourage even greater interaction and tipping.

We rate the Domi2 a 5 star toy. Many of our models say this is their favourite of the Lovense toys due to the fact it’s so powerful provides amazing results. Fans seem to love these too *****

Purchase the Domi2 here.

#3. Sex Machine

Live it up like a virtual sex machine with this contraption that simulates the real life action, better than any other!

The Lovense Sex Machine thrusts at numerous speeds for the perfect tip-based missionary or doggy-style experience.

This toy may be the most pricey of the collection. However, those who are keen to go “all out” in their shows find fans go tip crazy with these.

Return on investment tends to be rapid and the profits are insane.

Given that these are one of the most lucrative sex-simulating devices currently on the market, popular with famous porn stars, we rate the Lovense Sex Machine 5 stars *****

Dare to go “all out” and get one? Damn, girl!

Purchase the Sex Machine here.

#4. Hush2

Dare we say it… bum fun? The Hush is the vibrating butt plug. Not everyone is into that, but if you are, it’s a very smart purchase.

The Hush2 is super quiet and comes in four sizes, XS, S, M and L. You can choose your size dependent on your comfort levels.

Some of our models use the Hush2 and it is always a hit with their fans. Some find their Hush the most lucrative of all the Lovense toys they own.

For this reason and the fact it’s probably the quiestest of the bunch, we rate the Hush2 5 stars *****

Purchase the Hush2 here.

#5. Gravity

Gravity is a fun toy which vibrates and thrusts. A hot favourite, it has a suction pad underneath which can be fixed to a hard, flat surface for riding or doggy-style fun.

Members feel like they are closer to penetrating their favourite models by controlling their Gravity toy.

The Gravity is a superb thrusting alternative to the Sex Machine. It is more afforable, much smaller and easier to pack up and hide away if you have others living in your home.

We rate Gravity 4 stars. It’s a little on the noisy side, but if you’re not bothered about that, the functionality is top notch ****

Purchase the Gravity here.

Make money with cam model toys

As well as our top 5 favourites, there are a host of other toys including two-toy deals if you’d like to visit our Lovense store.

We are always happy to provide advise on toys. Toys should be chosen dependent on the comfort levels of the individual. So feel free to hit us up for specific guidance there!

Things to check before going live

Annabelle 616 Views 1 Comment ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

Every new cam model needs a list of things to check before going live. Follow my guide and you’ll be ready to kill it on cam!

Practical things to check

  • Completed your profile setup? – Add your bio, stats, settings, rates, tip features, profile images and payout info. Start only when all of this is done and approved!
  • Room tidy? – Be well-organised and clutter-free. A nice looking room will make you appear professional and it is pleasing on the eyes to the viewers.
  • Set up for best framing? – Great camera view is important. You want to show off your most flattering angles. Set up your work station and angle the webcam so you can look directly into it. This enables you to connect your audience with eye contact and encourages interaction from them.
  • Clear of any distractions? Make sure any pets in the house are fed and watered. Deal with anything else that might otherwise disturb you if not taken care of. Eliminate any annoying background noise.
  • Music playlists ready? – You’ll need music to help create an atmosphere. Use a speaker if you have one, but do not have the music too loud. Your viewers will want to listen to your voice moreso than your music.
  • Toys out and placed in reach? – Get everything you’ll need for cam shows out and ready. Ensure toys are sanitised and powered up. Vibrating toys need enough charge for the session. Having props within reach will avoid you having to scrabble looking for things.
  • Heels and stockings in reach? – Stiletto shoes, boots or stockings are common requests, have these to hand.
  • Snacks and a drink handy? – Keep a drink and snack beside you. This reduces the inconvenience of having to disrupt stream to pop to the kitchen.
  • Did you do enough reading and research? – You need to brief yourself on how to be a cam model to make a solid start. Read the articles on this blog and be informed. I am here to help!

Tech things to check

  • Set up lighting sufficiently? – Room must be well lit with even lighting.
  • Restarted laptop/desktop and run through updates/scans? – Do this to minimise risk of running slow and stream lag issues.
  • If running on ethernet, have you switched off wifi setting on laptop? – You can do this in the network and internet settings. Allow machine to run solely via ethernet cable and not have the wifi interfere with hardwired connection. This is for best continuity of stream.
  • Installed correct browser? – Some cam sites have specific browsers optimised for use with. Check which browser you need as other browsers may not be able to support all of the features of the site you’re working on.
  • Run speed test? – Ideally you’ll have done one prior to signing up and checked minimum upload speed requirements. If it falls short you need to communicate with your site’s tech team. You may also need to speak with your internet provider.
  • Shut down any other browsers, software or applications that might interfere? – When you’re camming, shut everything else unrelated on your laptop down including anything that runs scans in the background. This is so as not to cause unnecessary slowing down of the machine.
  • Selected right camera in broadcast settings? – This is how you present the best quality picture on cam. If the camera you’ve plugged in is not showing in the settings, plug it in again. Refresh your screen, log out and in again, then look again.

Personal things to check before going live

  • Right mindframe to work on cam? – You want to be rested, happy, positive, excited and keen to do this! If not, you will resent being online and won’t make money.
  • Feel physically well? – If under the weather with any health or wellbeing issue, wait until you recover. If you do not, you risk starting on a negative spiral and won’t give it your best energy.
  • Wearing something you feel comfortable and sexy in? – Try on different outfits. Go with the one that makes you feel most confident! If you have a favourite lingerie set or something new, this will help you start strong!
  • Done makeup? – Heavy makeup not essential. A little light work on the face to prevent shiny skin and accentuate your best features will make you look and feel confident online.
  • Taken care of personal grooming? – This includes styling your hair, doing your nails, shaving/waxing legs/armpits/ladybits. Lack of attention to these things leads to self-consciousness.
  • What are your camming goals for today? – Self-motivation check! Be sure to have clear in your mind your motives, goals, income target and visions of your success. It is your commitment and consistency to being on cam that will help you achieve all your heart desires!

Remind yourself daily that your potential on cam is unlimited! You got this!

Beat the New Year camming blues

Annabelle 815 Views 1 Comment ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

Beat the New Year camming blues by upstyling your online presence. Start 2024 with a bang with these helpful ideas for profitable camming.

January can be a funny time in the adult entertainment industry. Following the rush through the December party season, cam sites universally can feel quite slow.

Folks reign in their spending whilst paying off their Christmas dues, paving way for the skint ol’ New Year blues.

When you’re on your grind and it feels harder to make money, I totally appreciate this gets frustrating.

During this time it is easy to lose sight of the reasons you choose to be a cam model.

It is also easy faith in the industry, but I promise you it still has the potential to be very fruitful in January.

So up-tempo your mindset and believe in yourself!

Follow my guidelines to beat the New Year camming blues and start the year strong!

New Year, New Me!

I hate to say it as it sounds so cliched… but January brings for the perfect opportunity to reinvent.

We already know members browsing through the pages and pages of chat rooms available are spoiled for choice.

As amazing as you are at your job as a camgirl, you are one of thousands of models online.

Make sure you stand out to keep it exciting for those who pass with coins and tokens.

Annabelle

If you’ve rocked with the same style for some time, mix it up. Grab some new outfits in the January sales, have a complete look change.

Change your hair colour or style, evolve your image. This keeps regulars intrigued and checking in.

No matter how loyal regulars say they are, they always notice new models (this is human nature). Keep them on your hook!

Switch up your look and style to offer them the variety they need.

You could, dare I say it, even opt for a complete rebrand with a change of name, look, style and vibe.

Ever fancied being a Mistress, a Princess, a Gamer Chick, a Cosplay Queen or Roleplay specialist? Well now’s the perfect time to learn new skills and try new things!

Reinventing is always refreshing. The quickest way to fall out of love with webcamming is to feel like its got stale, so don’t let it be so.

Upstyle your room

Beat the New Year camming blues by upstyling your chat room.

This does not need to be a full-on interior design project. Some simple changes to make the room look more easy on the eyes will work wonders.

Look at getting some new soft furnishings, for example new coloured cushions or a throw for your bed/chair.

Some improved lighting such as additional ringlighting would make your room bright and appealing. Try some fairy lights, lava lamp or neon strip light because this adds a fun touch.

You could also have a complete change of arrangement. Cam in a different room or move your position in your existing room to offer a different camera view. Just make sure the view is nicely decorated and clutter-free.

By making your room stand out versus others, you’ll make a great impact on members.

People gravitate to chat rooms that look pretty and well kept, versus rooms that look plain or messy.

Annabelle

Upgrade your shows

With the competition for the tippers being so immense, this is not the time to get stuck in a rut of “same old, same old” with your shows.

Members get bored of repetition, and models get bored of doing the same thing over and over.

The way to beat the New Year camming blues is to unleash your creative side and have fun on cam!

Annabelle

To stand out amidst the masses of other models online, read my article here.

For ideas of different shows you can do, read my artcile here.

The beautiful thing about being cam model is the flexibility you have. There are unlimited themes you can offer and unlimited ways to perform to get the tips rolling.

Annabelle’s mega tip: Be your own creative director and promo girl!

Choose a day and time to plan a special themed show.

Advertise this in your chat room and on your cam model social media.

This gives you something fun to plan and it gives your followers something to get revved up for.

I recommend you do this weekly throughout January. This creates a positive new habit and sets a new higher standard.

Even better, do it weekly indefinitely. Benefit from the abundance this creative energy brings!

The end gain is of this exercise is to you keep your fans returning and attract new ones.

As a by product you evolve as a cam model and continue to find your work fulfilling.

Time to switch

If despite trying different things your existing cam site is not working out, let January open the door to other options. There are many platforms out there with different features you can try out.

Check out my article here when researching where to start looking for alternatives.

If you’d like to work with an agency or studio, this can benefit you immensely in terms of guidance, support and motivation. Always check out charging structures versus what agencies offer.

Bear in mind many agencies will charge you commission on top of the network commission. Look for credible model testimonials you can verify to active working models.

LVE Models are a management company working on behalf of a major webcams network. We are not a conventional agency therefore do not charge commission to the models who work with us. Models benefit from professional coaching and guidance and are paid weekly, direct by the network. If you’re looking to try a new opportunity in camming this January, take a look at LVE Models’ offering here.

Check out these tips by some of our LVE Models!
