Your webcam success hinges on…
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?
