You're So BORING! Tips for Being a Cam Girl Worth Watching

       Are you looking for ways to keep the visitors that come to your chat room entertained? Have you ever found yourself staring at the chat screen, blank faced, with nothing to say? Remember if your bored than you're boring, and being a good webcam model means knowing how to keep the energy in your room inviting, engaging, and positive. One way to do this is by using quirky or fun questions to spark conversations between you and your audience.

    Whenever you feel the energy in your room dragging or you're starting to yawn and feel sluggish, I dare you to make things interesting by asking each guy that enters your chat room if he will answer your question of the day! Cam girls get bombarded with questions all the time, so this is your opportunity to control the Q & A. Plus, if there's one thing men love to talk about, it's themselves. LoL! 

     Here's a list of  "21 Fun Questions to Ask Any Guy" and be sure to come up with some of your own fun questions. Avoid asking overly sexual questions as those are kinda expected and unoriginal. The point here is to be intriguing, not predictable. Focus on open ended questions that prompt your audience to tell you stories about themselves. You never know when a tidbit of info they share can be used to your advantage later. Some cam sites like Streamate, have a feature that allows you to take notes on each screen name that comes into your chat. Use this! The more you can remember about them, they more they will return to you.

     Webcam models who make the most money are the ones who are the most engaging, entertaining and genuinely make an effort to know their audience. When it comes to being a successful cam model, this is where personality and attitude trumps outer beauty. No one likes a boring cam girl, even if she is beautiful.. Think about it, would you spend $3.99/min on someone who can't hold a conversation or isn't interested in getting to know you? Don't be boring, ask questions.

Webcam Models Petition XBiz Awards

Xbiz, adult porn star, webcam modeling, best cam site award finalist 2013
Congratulations to all the cam models who made the XBiz Award Nominee Finalist list and Happy Holidays to you. ♥



XBIZ is pleased to announce the finalist nominees for adult entertainment’s biggest industry awards show of the year, the 2013 XBIZ Awards, presented by Fleshlight, scheduled for Jan. 11 in Los Angeles.

There's only a few categories related to being a webcam model. Most are for cam/video sites, adult affiliate programs, and other IT  stuff.  In fact the, "Web Star of the Year" category, is the only one featuring ladies whom I know to make money being a cam girl.

We should get together and petition for more webcam modeling related categories in the "Web & Technology" section. Live chat cam sites are the boom right now in the adult industry, it would be nice to get a little more recognition for the contribution of hard working cam models all over the world.


What do you think?

Which categories would you like to see added to the XBiz Awards?

Will being a cam girl affect my future career goals?


    Q:  "I'm going to school for nursing, and I plan on eventually working towards my Doctorate in Nursing Anesthesia Practice, and I'm wondering if being a webcam model will have a negative impact on my getting into different training programs or getting hired at a hospital? What do you think? I need a professional's advice! I miss camming so much, I've just been apprehensive in starting back just because I don't know how it will impact my medical profession. My guess is that it wouldn't, but I'm not certain."


being a cam girl
   A: Great to hear from you! In my personal professional opinion, there's no reason that being a webcam model or having worked in adult entertainment should affect your ability to do anything else you want to do in life. I am a registered mentor with my county's school board and I have a 16 year old mentee that I work with. I have been fingerprinted and background checked numerous times over the years, while still actively being a webcam model, because I do a lot of volunteer work. There's no space on applications asking, "Have you ever worked in the adult industry" and if I ever did come across such a question, my answer would be, YES, I did it. AND? so what? How does that affect my ability to be an effective whatever-it-is-I'm-aiming-to-do? Always be honest and proud of your work.

make money with webcamI have a big problem with people/employers/etc. that bully ladies who have worked in the industry, as if we are not also fully capable of doing other things. I'm equally annoyed with ladies who have worked in our industry who allow themselves to be bullied, shamed or try to downplay their adult work, as some "young and dumb life mistake". Chile please! Stand up for yourself. People will treat you however you allow them to treat you. If you don't make your work as a cam girl seem like some shameful secret, than no one else will be able to hold it over your head either.

I am working with an attorney to get an official, legal, point of view on this matter because it is a question I get quite often. My advice for right now is to stay focused on what you want to do, be that nursing, camming, or both...and don't let anyone stop you. ♥
