Choosing your cam model name

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We have some super articles below that will help you with the grass roots of being a cam model.

MENTORING

Be the best you on cam

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.
  • 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!

  • 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.
  • 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!

Nova Ramone: “Why strippers make the best camgirls”

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.”

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

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

“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.

YOUR JOURNEY STARTS HERE

How to be a cam model

Share this post!

Thinking of starting out and want to know how to be a cam model? Here are the basics you’ll need to take the first steps towards camming success.

Before we dive in; what has triggered your desire to be a cam model?

What is the appeal about webcamming that has led you to reasearch how to be a cam model?

I would love to know your motive(s) because this is a very specific nature of work that is not for everyone.

It is your motives that have driven you down this road. So be very clear on these. They will form the basis of your work ethic, goals and motivation on your cam modelling journey.

Is it the money motive? The flexibility of working hours? The fact you can work from home and be your own boss?

Do you want know how to be a cam model because you can work around the kids’ routines?

Or is the thought of webcamming a confidence booster?

Perhaps you’ve already done your reasearch and genuinely want to build a career with the highest income potential in the Universe…

Whatever your motives, be crystal clear, write them down.

NATURE OF WORK

Take the time to nderstand the nature of the work. Please read my article here for an insight into what the work of a cam model entails.

Many females sign up to cam sites and get cold feet over the nature of the work. They never make their debut appearance on cam, thus never unravelling the formula of how to be a cam model.

So to avoid being a staller, do your research first to make sure you’re totally content with the concept of sex work.

REALISTIC CAPABILITY

You’ll also need to work out the realistic capability of you being able to work on cam. Do you have enough available time to commit to making this work for you? Are you able to self-motivate and self-discipline to work?

If you’re a mother, do you have sufficient childcare in place? Are there any barriers to you working on cam?

Think about all of these things because your success hinges on your ability to get online and work.

TECHNICAL SETUP

You will next need to determine whether from a technical point of view you have sufficient internet connection and can obtain the required equipment.

This article helps with all you’ll need to get started from a tech setup point of view.

Providing you’ve worked through the three steps above and given yourself the green light, you can make the aspiration of making money on cam a reality!

How exciting! Let’s continue…

CHOOSE YOUR SITE

There are many cam sites out there, that work in different ways. I wrote an article that explains the differences along with the pros and cons of private sites versus live stream sites.

Have a good old read here, consider your preferences and have a look at some of the big name sites.

Take the time to read T’s and C’s, paying special attention to each site’s Code of Conduct.

Make your informed decision on which one to apply to.

SET UP YOUR PROFILE

Do this in a professional way. Write a complimentary bio about your cam model persona with detail you want site members to know.

You can tell them about any likes and dislikes, things you’re into (sexual and non sexual) but leave out anything personal.

Never reveal your real name and location. This is for your own safety.

Make sure you have high quality images to add to your profile. This is because you’re going to have to present as a pro to get noticed amongst thousands of other cam models that members have at their disposal.

You don’t actually need professional shoot photos, you can do these self-styled (see my article), but make sure they are super.

Please leave the Snapchat filters on Snapchat, they look ridiculous and amateurish on cam model profiles.

CREATE YOUR STYLE

Have a cam model dress style in mind already? Or unsure what works? Depending on how you self-style and dress, will determine the type of members you will attract to follow, interact and spend money with you.

I cannot wait to share this article with you as I just just know you’ll gain some helpful guidance from this.

SET YOUR SCHEDULE

I cannot stress the importance of working to a schedule if you’re serious about cracking the code of how to be a cam model.

The benefits of working to a schedule are, a, it helps create a routine and structure. b, it assists with the required self-discipline to work and c, followers and fans know when to expect you online.

Now all of the above is check, check, check, check, check, check, check… it is time to get online and start making money.

Simple as that. Or no?

Please don’t be overwhelmed. Let me tell you that first day nerves is totally normal. Even in cam models who are experienced and are moving onto a new site, it can be nerve-wracking.

Annabelle

Once you’ve done it the first time, you get over the anxiety of doing it for the first time… Just like doing a sky dive!

You have come this far, you have to take the leap of faith! Remember the motives that led to your desire to be a cam model?

If you don’t at least give it a try, you’ll live with the feeling of what might have been and never satisfy your motives.

BE CONFIDENT

If all of a sudden shyness or lack of confidence becomes the stumbling block, it’s ok, I got you. I’ve known published Playboy models start out on cam and feel shy.

Have a read of my article on bringing out the self-confidence naturally and this will guide you through.

It helps to spend some time watching other models on the site you’ve chosen to work on.

This helps you get a feel of how the site works and how models make money.

Observe other models to gain insight and build confidence, but do not imitate. It’s all about being original.

Annabelle

One of my roles as LVE Models CAM MODEL MENTOR is to assist new models through the process of going online for the first time.

I help them to understand how to be a cam model, find feet and shape their style online.

New models find having someone experienced in the industry who understands the process, is worth its weight in gold.

For many models its the difference between dropping away and going on to have successful careers online.

CREATE ENGAGEMENT

Once you’ve watched some other models and are feeling confident, take the plunge and go online. Start engaging your audience.

I cannot emphasise enough. ENGAGEMENT is the answer I would give if someone asked me to pick just one word to describe what makes a cam model a profitable cam model.

The vast majority of members will not be interactive on cam sites unless the model is interactive.

With no effort made on the model’s part to be interactive, people will lurk and watch as though the room as a porn tube.

Whether you’re brand new to the industry or an experienced cam model feeling a little stagnant on cam; will find this article about engagement super helpful. Please take the time to read it.

ATTITUDE DETERMINES ALTITUDE

It may be stating the obvious but if you’re a person with a pleasant and agreeable nature, people will warm to you.

Having a positive attitude toward the work, the industry and the people who connect with you is how to win fans and make money.

A good attitude creates a nice vibe, one where people will feel comfortable and relaxed in the model’s company.

When people love the attitude and character of a cam model, they hang out and be the fan club. This means support through the quiet times as well as the busy times, enabling the profile and presence to grow and the cam model’s motivation to stay high.

A good attitude forms a great reputation based on which a cam model’s identity and brand can thrive!

Annabelle

On the flipside, if the attitude is bad, the majority of potential admirers will be repelled and leave.

It is only a small percentage of cam site users who are attracted to camgirls who act bratty or bitchy. Bad attitude is usually a turn off and translates to a chat room vibe that most people feel uncomfortable in.

Cam models are always judged based on their attitude so always strive to keep this positive and be personable at all times.

Annabelle

TOP TIP! Being personable is how you gain followers, fans and regulars. It is crucial to present a cam model persona that people want to be around in order to build a following. Great regulars stick with and support their favourite cam models – even during the slower times online!

CREATIVITY WINS

Cam models should aways use their imagination to create shows that are interesting, exciting and keep viewers captivated.

Using a variety of outfits, looks, toys and props, and trying out different show types will make followers stay hungry and keen to see more.

If the cam model’s performances are boring and predictable they struggle to retain regular clients.

At LVE Models I work with models individually to help bring out their unique styles. I give them plenty of ideas to work into their shows and help them identify a niche.

To possess a niche as a cam model is to possess the X-Factor!

Annabelle

CONSISTENCY IS KEY

Last by by no means least: consistency. Consistency is a basic human character trait. It requires no prerequisite or qualification. Consistency is all about being mentally strong, focussed and resilient.

A consistent cam model is one who works every week, high self-motivated and focussed on her goals.

Annabelle

Lack of consistency is often the result of lack self-displine. Without consistency there is no viability as a cam model and it is impossible to make a living.

Motivation struggles are the most common issue I assist models to deal with. There is no shame, it is a very normal, very common problem that affects almost all models at some stage.

There are a whole host of factors that contribute to this. Here I have written an article about self-motivation to offer some guidance in this area.
