Answer this quick: How would becoming a successful webcam model change your life for the better?
Everyone has her reasons for signing up with that first cam site. The most common are the dollar signs every cam site and studio out there advertises to reel in the uninformed.

Maybe you’re in a soul-crushing job working toward someone else’s goal.
I was there, and that was my reason for working toward self-employment.
A career in webcam modeling serves as an outlet for some.
The anonymity of it all can give you the freedom to let go of inhibitions. It can let you explore things you might never have considered exploring in the “real world.”
The personal interaction with customers can also be satisfying.
You can develop intimate relationships with faceless strangers you’ll never meet. You can be yourself. You can be whoever you want to be.
There are no expectations about your personality until you set them.
What you project of yourself will be what brings your favourite customers back to your room. Your fans will appreciate you – no, adore you – for whatever part of the real you comes out on cam.
Maybe you have a vision for your life and your current situation just runs in circles around it.
I don’t blame you if you’re sick of the rat race. I remember it well – wake up, go to work, come home tired, go to bed, repeat until you can retire. Not cool, man. Not cool.
At my core, I am an artist. What’s at your core? What’s that thing that you MUST do in your life to feel fulfilled?
Once I learned the ropes and became a successful webcam model – not overnight! – I discovered a whole new world of time that had eluded me for so long. I almost didn’t know what to do with it.
I had to learn how to stop and smell the roses again. I like roses.
I am in no way promising that you will come to the same results as I have.
There is no guarantee that becoming a webcam model will help you to achieve your dreams. If there is something you need to do, though, and “normal life” is getting in the way, this could be a key. It is possible that being a camgirl could ease that burden and unlock the freedom that will allow you to do what you need to do.
Maybe you just need to go to work in your pyjamas. I totally get that. 😉
But seriously, what is your motivation? What led you to look into a career in webcam modeling? If this job suits you well, what is it that you stand to gain?
Please share your thoughts and let’s dream together. No, let’s work toward accomplishing some shit together. 😉
Take it easy.
I just came across this site and I don’t know how I didn’t over the earlier, because it is a life saver! I tried getting into camming at the beginning of the year, because, like the top comment on this thread I do have lots of kinks and would like to capitalize off that, also, for the sake of having more time to myself and being able to make my own schedule. I LOVE all of your tips so far! I’ve even signed up for a couple new sites at your recommendation and am looking forward to giving it another go. I made one of your “top 5 mistakes new camgirls make” and got extremely discouraged when the money wasn’t rolling in after a couple weeks. I made $50 off 3 videos and I realize now that not only is that normal for newbies, but some consider it a job well done! Thank you so much for all of your insight. I do have a question: How do you feel about camgirls having a personal website and what benefits does it have? Also, what should you include when making a personal website for your camgirl ego? (I am choosing to keep my personal identity as anonymous as I can when I cam)
Hi there! I’m so glad that your interest in camming has been rekindled! Sounds like you were definitely on the right track before, but just succumbed to the old discouragement roadblock. It’s a big one. I commend you on giving it another go.
Regarding personal websites- if you’re using multiple sites and want to keep everything in one easy convenient spot for your fans, this is a great solution. You could look into something like ModelCentro, or WordPress if you’re so inclined. Keep it up to date with regular blogs and photos/video clips (especially if you have paying members!). And just keep everything there to promote yourself.
Hey Cat I am interested in getting started as a cam girl. I have read like all of your blogs/ posts on getting started, the tips and mistakes to avoid. My nerves just keep me from signing up! Is there anyway you can email me to talk about it a bit further? I would really appreciate it!
Emailed you. 🙂
Cat, thank you so much for everything you’ve put into this. I’ve known I wanted to work in the adult industry in some form for pretty much as long as I’ve been aware of my own sexuality and kink as positive things. I’ve worked in a few sex shops, but the ownership treated employees horribly and I couldn’t make it worth it. I recently found my way into the panty-selling world and soon got to try out (while making the classic “I’ll pay you after” “okay sure” mistake) a private show, which despite that embarrassment with the pay was kinda amazing. I realized all my “I’d be a camgirl if only…” statements didn’t end in anything particularly legit. It was all basically “but what if my future employers don’t like it” (but I’ve been a freelancer and I’d do it again, and don’t particularly want the jobs I’d be barred from for this) or “what if my partner doesn’t like it” (but I think life’s too short to hold back on the thing that lights me up for the person I’m dating, even if I can see them being the one). Also, I believe this work and this industry is unjustly stigmatized and overall, a wonderful pursuit, a moral pursuit, and a beautiful part of humanity, this connecting through sexuality and individual preference that’s so specific yet leaves no one unworthy or incapable of belonging. So, if I refuse to follow the calling, what’s that saying about how strongly I hold those beliefs? I couldn’t deny it anymore. Your site has been the most balanced and scary and encouraging I’ve found, and I’m so grateful.
I do want to ask you about one other tool/course I came accross, I don’t know if I need it if I have this site, but if the claims and testimonials are legit, it looks like it might help me get a leg up. I’m pretty ready to figure out my payoneer and sign up through Chaturbate, otherwise.
Thank you again. <3
Thank you for taking the time to leave this thoughtful and encouraging note. I’m honoured that O Camgirl has played a role in your decision to finally follow your calling! It’s truly wonderful to hear, and I’m grateful for your sharing. I’d be happy to investigate/advise the other tool/course you came across. Please feel free to shoot me an email at tylr.cat@gmail.com and I’ll try to help you out with that. Sounds like you’re on the right track, otherwise. 🙂
Thanks for reading.
Best info on becoming a can girl I have found so far . I have kids so been looking in to work I can do at home while they are in school . I really do think webcaming could be grate fun to learn new stuff be confident and get myself out there . Iv looked at alot if sites but its hard to choose one to sign up to any help on that one ?
Hello Cat,
This is so very relatable to me 🙁 My soul crushing cubicle job working in insurance makes me feel completely dead inside, and at my core, I am an artist. I’m giving serious thought to this. I’m tried of speeding to work in the morning to get to a job I hate in time. I feel with my personality and creativity, at this point it would be a missed oppertunity not to try this. Your website is professional and speaks to women with a fun yet honest girlfriend vibe, which I love and appreciate. Thank you for the best info I’ve found on the topic, on the internet.
Thank you, Azaelea, for taking the time to share. Your comment resonates with me so much! Even if it isn’t adult work, I’m sure there is something out there that would be more fulfilling and more empowering to YOU than that damn cubicle. I hope you find that, and soon! I’m happy to know that you’re enjoying what we do here at O Camgirl, and if you do decide camming is something you’d like to try for yourself, I hope we can help you move forward. I wish you the best.
Cat
Your website is awesome. I like the concept so much. Wish you a lot more success!!
Thank you Demi! Stop by anytime 🙂
