APPEARANCE IS IMPORTANT
Hopefully, coming into the world of webcam modeling, you have some kind of interest in human sexuality other than self-gratification. What I mean is that hopefully, in your interest in human sexuality, you have already thought about your own appearance (both inner and outer) and how you present yourself on cam. In this article we’ll open up the idea of appearance and how to better understand and work with your appearance. In doing so, you’ll find yourself more confident and more able to comprehend how to succeed on cam. So, sit back and relax. Dive in deep with these three ideas on appearance and cultivating your image.
VISUAL CULTURE
We are a visual culture. There’s no way around that. Humans use of sight and visual interpretation is unparalleled. This is why we have web cameras and not only web microphones. Can you imagine a chat room that is ONLY voice? It would be radio. Surely, we can appreciate our other senses, but the sense of sight reigns supreme. In this way, you’ll want to focus your attention on how you appear on cam. Most customers will judge you rather immediately. There’s not much of a way to get around this. Customers choose impulsively and choose based on how your visual image stimulates their unconscious. What I mean is that your visual image will be judged (subconsciously) by how you stimulate their loins or the beat of their heartbeat.
CUSTOMER CONNECTION
In the real world, sexuality is all about connection. What’s interesting about the cam world is that, though we are not engaged in actual skin-to-skin sex, we definitely foster an environment of connectivity by way of the digital realm. Essentially, though the eyes are focused on the representation of the performer on the screen, the minds of the customer and the cam model are connected (at least ideally speaking). Growing this connection is vital to an invigorating session.
BE AN ICON
An icon is an image of the Ideal. That’s essentially what you have become upon embarking on the wonderful journey of becoming a cam model. Present yourself well and let that iconic flavor that you bring to the table fuel your flow from beginner to webcam legend. Think about your own life. Who are some sex-appeal icons who come to mind? What can you learn by observing their on-camera behavior? How do they connect with their fans? What makes them stand out? What do they do that truly makes them “iconic?” Think about this. Learn from this.
In closing, how you present yourself and how you work to connect with your fans will work to your advantage and escalate your experiences on cam. My belief is that you’ve come to this site to improve yourself as a webcam model. Maybe you’ve come here as an absolute newcomer to the industry or maybe you’ve come here as an experienced model who is looking to improve. Either way, your focus is the same. You yearn for growth and self-improvement. By using the tips and advice that we are providing you with, you’ll find yourself improving on-cam almost immediately. It will all come down to how much and how strongly you implement these changes.
Ultimately, your customer is going to go with whichever model best fits what they are looking for at that exact moment. Of course, it might be you. However, it might be someone else. The only thing that you can do to catch that fish is to tailor your profile pic to represent the best version of yourself that you wish to display to potential customers. In this business you can’t please everyone, but you can control your niche, your image, your visual appeal. And the message in bringing this to your conscious awareness is that we live in a world of image. Controlling and shaping your profile image is of the utmost importance to how your fans will view you.
Your profile picture is the first “hook” that entices customers to your room. Imagine you see two images side-by-side. One image is a poorly lit selfie that barely displays the model’s face or whatever appealing side of their body they are trying to express through the framing of the pic. The other profile picture is a professionally shot image that shows a tailored and carefully crafted image of the model in HD quality, a stunning representation of what the model is offering. Which pic do you think that you would click on? Think about it.
Your image speaks volumes about you. It can even determine your “quality” as a model and can even decide, in a customer’s mind, if you are a top model, that is, a model who is worthy of top pay. Always, be aware of how you are portraying yourself. If you want to be paid like a professional model, you need to carry and represent yourself as one. Remember, customers don’t know that you are new. Selfies are great for social media. But here you are a genuine model. 
Ideally, you should conceive of your target audience as those who would follow you into your chat room and, hopefully, spend money on you. With that said, you start to narrow. What is it about your physical features that excite your target audience? What is it about your personality that gets them going? How do you engage with them on social media? Do they comment on certain parts of your personality over others? Try to identify who your ideal audience is and work to build them up and keep them close. They will reward you for doing so. They will never want to leave you.
Your bio is another area that you’ll benefit from tailoring to meet the expectations of your brand. You can use hashtags in your bio. You can also add a link to your bio. Consider your bio your luxury apartment that’s now on the market. People who come to your page will want to take a look at your “luxury apartment.” Make them want to enter. Make them want to spend some time with you. Most importantly, make them want to “Follow” you and become a fan.
On your personal Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, make sure you use the privacy settings to their fullest. This will keep strangers out, and make sure only your curated group of friends and family members can see your posts.
At the risk of repeating myself: Never open links from your customers. Remember, always operate confidentially. Never open links. Not in chat, email, or a tweet. No matter how trustworthy they seem, this is the best policy. Apart from malware and viruses, there is also software that can reveal your IP address, which can give away your location.
