TWITTER TIME: GET SAVVY WITH SOCIAL MEDIA!

Twitter offers a fantastic way to advertise your brand online. Many cam models use Twitter and know of its value. For example, are you about to go online? Send a tweet to your fans. Does your cam site have an affiliate link that earns you passive income? Send out that link and don’t forget to put that link in your bio. Or, are you doing a live show and want to draw attention? One method is to post a shot of yourself in your cam space and tweet it out along with the link. And these are just but a few ways that Twitter can help you elevate your online presence from amateur to spectacular top model.

Here are some high-quality examples of webcam models who really know how to use Twitter:

If you follow those model accounts, you’ll see really good examples about how to promote yourself on Twitter. The content that these models post is simultaneously sexy and classy, a winning combination that’s sure to attract many new followers to your feed.

And, of course, these examples are just a few. At heart, what will really set you apart from the competition will be how you use your social media on a daily basis to engage with your followers. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who follows a person on Twitter who they admire. How would you feel if a huge celebrity that you admired replied back to you? Or, how would you feel if someone really influential retweeted something that you wrote? I’m sure you would feel amazing. That’s how you want your followers to feel. It’s a process of teasing them with high-quality content and keeping engaged with them. And, yes, I realize that not everyone has time to reply to each and every tweet, but at least trying to do your best will help grow your brand.

CONFIDENCE IS KEY! THREE TIPS TO GENERATE MORE CONFIDENCE ON CAM

As with other endeavors in life that demand you stepping into a new role, successful camming takes a huge amount of confidence. The good news is that the cam world has become rich with so many high-earning charismatic cam models, all of whom you can learn from. However, it also means that the competition is heating up. But heat’s not a bad thing. Of course, the beauty about camming is that there’s always an air of unpredictability. The model who you would think won’t succeed goes on to attract the right customers who keep him/her going. Conversely, the gorgeous model who you thought would rock day after day gives up after a week of slow sessions. It’s time for YOU to step up and develop the kind of confidence that will put you on par with the best models in the business.

STEP ONE: CONSISTENCY

Being consistent is one of the best ways for you to begin becoming more confident on cam. The more you do it, the more fun it will be. And, quite likely, the more lucrative it will become. Confidence is all about habit-building. We’ve all heard the expression, “Good things come to those who wait,” but I’d like to put it as, “Good things come to those who are consistent and persistent.”

Set a schedule. Be online. Get to know the customers and the culture by participating on a regular basis. Likewise, another word to focus on (one that compliments consistency) is “persistence.” This way of thinking is for those who might be consistent, but aren’t seeing the immediate benefits of consistency. In your case, hang in there. Some days are better than others. Every great top model will tell you that persistence pays. Not everyday can be a goldmine of tips and shows, but rest assured that the more you put yourself out there into the world (i.e. go on cam, prepared and in the right mindset), you’ll start earning. Tackle this profession as a way to enhance yourself. You WILL improve. 

And, at the end of the day, improvement is why you’re here and where you’re heading!

STEP TWO: PUT YOUR BEST SELF FORWARD

Putting your best self forward in order to release more confidence is an ongoing exercise in effort. It’s not easy signing on and always trying to be in a the mood that you know your fans want to see you in. But, is it in your best interest to try and put your best self forward? Yes, we believe so. Here are few pointers as to what not to do, and why it’s worth it for you to continually work on yourself.

First, don’t open your cam show with a large yawn. Or don’t point the camera at the ceiling and let your viewers study the intricacies of your ceiling. When in a rage, because nothing’s going your way, don’t scream and berate your customers. Oh yeah, don’t go on cam and then leave the room for a prolonged length of time, not telling your fans where you’re going or why. Always, put your best self forward. Be the best you can be each and every time you log on. For sure, not ever model “feels” like camming when they log on, but we all know how to put ourselves into the mindset of doing the best we can. So, go online and do the best you can. Be your best self.

STEP THREE: REFLECT AND REVISE

Reflection is the art of thinking over an experience. It’s about taking a step back and considering it. Also, it’s about considering how you acted, reacted, or in how things could have gone differently. The cool thing about camming is that eventually you’ll log off. Upon doing so, you can reflect on the experience and go about revising your performance until the next time you sign back on. Do this over time and you’re sure to improve your game.

BE THE DIRECTOR OF YOUR OWN CAM SHOWS

Modeling on cam can be one of the most lucrative and rewarding opportunities around these days. It’s sexy. It’s fun. And, it speaks to those among us who love to pick up extra income at home as well as foster an entrepreneurial spirit that can soar as high as you’d like. Today, one thing that I’ll talk about is the importance of framing yourself on camera, especially in terms of being a webcam model. A good, well-chosen, camera angle can make or break a cam performance.

Imagine…

Guide to Camming

Imagine you’re a cam model and you fire up your computer, go into some kind of private show, but your camera is angled too high for the customer to really see the more enticing areas of your body. Maybe the action is happening at one spot, but your camera is focused elsewhere. This would not be considered good modeling. Of course, sometimes, it’s good to tease out a show, and NOT give customers what they are looking for until the right moment, but other times you want to bare all and make sure you’re properly framed. Be aware of how you look in the camera. You as a cam model are performing. Your cam angles always make a difference. Your modeling career is contingent upon your ability to be the best director you can.

Or, imagine, if you will, a car chase in a movie. Where do you want the camera to be? Well, you want to really see the cars racing down the road, don’t you? What if the camera, instead of following the cars, focused on one mailbox. A mailbox? That’s not interesting! We want to see the action! Exactly. It’s the same with camming. Ensure that your camera is exactly where you want it to be. If you have a remote controller and can control the angle, then even better! Use it to your advantage. Your customers will love it and it’ll keep them coming back for more.

Choose Your Position

In particular, it is always a wise move to position yourself properly in relation to where you are camming from. For example, if you are camming from a bed, you’ll want to place the camera in relation to your body. If you wish to give the viewer a powerful angle, see if you can’t elevate the camera so that it looks down on you. You’ll feel more powerful if you place the camera at a lower angle, so it looks up at you. If you wish to maintain an equal view from you and the customer, place the camera directly in front of you, or at a horizontal angle that is level with you.

In Conclusion

Finally, it is wise to pay attention to the difference between looking at yourself in the camera and gazing into the camera with an attention to the viewers. Modeling on cam is a skill that demands attention and focus. As long as your mind is focused on the viewers, the feeling you give off to customers will be that you are looking directly at them, which is what you want when modeling.

 

Camming Profile Pic

PROFILE PICS MAKES A POTENT DIFFERENCE

Appearances

Your profile picture is your calling card. Appearances are very important in the cam model world and your profile pic is at the top of the list. Every model has his or her own way of appearing beautiful. If you’re not attractive or interesting to a certain customer, that doesn’t mean that you won’t appeal to a different customer. It’s all a matter of personal perspective. However, I would say with confidence that having the perfect profile picture for whatever cam site you decide to model on will make a huge difference in how you are perceived.

For example, let’s say you are a vivacious adventurer who loves exercise and dance music, but your profile picture paints you as a Gothic loner who is into whips and chains. Can you see how that would be confusing to any customer who enters your room? What you need to ensure is that your profile picture is in perfect harmony with who you are as a model. You want to make sure that when customers come to your room, they know exactly what they are getting into. What I love the best is when a model has an amazing profile picture and, when I enter his/her room, that model is even sexier. That’s such a great feeling. And, as a model, I love it when customers come into my room and tell me how wonderful I look.

Choose Your Style

So, how do you pick the perfect profile picture? Well, it’s really a matter of perspective, but here are a few tips to keep in mind.

First, you want to make sure that you are presenting the self that you want to be. That might sound easy, but remember the example I gave above. Make sure that when fans enter your room, they gain access to a model who looks even more stunning than the stunning picture that caused them to first be curious about who you are.

Be Professional

Second — go professional. Sure, you can shoot a good selfie, or set a timer and take a good picture — that’s very possible, but the more professional you take yourself the more it will show in how people perceive you. Take the time to make your image look incredible in a way that speaks to your personality, and make sure the angle and presentation are both of the highest quality. You’ll thank me later.

Locations Matter

Third, choose a great location. Consider being photographed on a bed of roses, or beside a grand swimming pool. Whatever location you choose, make sure that it communicates the message that you want to represent you. People might not consciously focus on the location, but if you are paying attention to the location so that it enhances your photo, you can’t go wrong.

Smile

Fourth, smile or show your most seductive face. Imagine the camera is the eye of a customer, of someone who really wants to spend time with you. Whatever it takes, try to show a face that expresses the mood or the tone of what kind of a model you are. When in doubt, go to some cam sites and check out other models who align to your sensibilities. Do some research as to what techniques work for others, or what are scientifically valid. How have they been photographed? What makes them stick out?

Update Your Profile Pic

Fifth, update, update, update. It’s probably a good idea to switch up your profile pic every so often. Spice is the variety of life. Be prepared with a good handful of profile pictures, and see which ones work better. If you notice a trend, consider doing a whole photo set of similar photos.

Don’t Be Afraid to Be Bold

As always, be bold. Be adventurous. And have fun! If you’re having fun, chances are the profile shots will look stunning. And, if you’re not satisfied, keep taking shots until you are. The awesome thing about being a cam model is that, for the most part, you are your own boss. That’s one reason why this work is so rewarding. So, go out, take amazing pics, and good luck!

SKILLS SHOWCASE: FOUR TIPS FOR CAM PROS

Whether you’re new to camming or have been at it for years, you’re probably still looking for ways to improve yourself (at least I hope you are). Then, you’ve come to the right place. In this column focused on skills, I’ll be exploring ways in which you can increase your potential as a top cam model by becoming more skillful at how you operate and what you focus on. And, since this is our first plunge into the blogging waters, I wanted to pull back and look at the word “skill” and how you can use that very word to make your awesome cam shows even better. Dictionary.com defines “skill” as, “the ability, coming from one’s knowledge, practice, aptitude, etc., to do something well.” And it’s this particular definition that I want you to think about today. The questions you should be asking yourself are:

  • What skills do I currently have? Examine yourself.
  • What are my most valuable skills? Think in terms of value.
  • What skills can I use often on cam? Be realistic.
  • What skills should I develop as time goes on? Make a list.

Let’s open up each of these questions and see how they can all enhance your cam performances, and truly make you the best at your game.

WHAT SKILLS DO I HAVE?

All of us have something that we are good at. Also, some of us might be good at cooking delicious meals. Then again, others might be better at sports or athletics in general. Think about those things in your life that you’ve worked at or become good at through years of practice. What makes you unique? What makes you stand out from the crowd? I like to make a list of the things I’m good at and review it several times a year. What are you waiting for? Make your list. Figure out what skills you’ve developed by analyzing your daily life, by analyzing your hobbies, the things that you love doing. You just might surprise yourself.

WHAT ARE MY MOST VALUABLE SKILLS?

Okay, you’ve made your list. Now, it’s time for you to zone in on your most valuable skills. Hopefully, you have a nice list of things that you consider skills you are good at. Look at the list and trim it down to the top three things you are good at. Then, pay attention to those things that other people might be interested in. On my list I might include gardening, hiking, and exercising, but truth be told, these are not things I practice every day. What I really practice every day are photography, computer programming, and jazz dance. Once you identify your most valuable skills, you can move on to the next important question.

WHAT SKILLS CAN I USE ON CAM?

Not all skills are going to be interesting for your fans to see. Most will, though. Are you a good dancer? Show it off! Are you a poet? Read some of your poems?! Are you a stand-up comedian in the making? Why not tell some jokes. Your fans will really get to know the real you. Don’t be afraid. Express your most important skills to them. Trust me, it’ll keep them coming back for more and more.

WHAT SKILLS SHOULD I DEVELOP?

As time goes on, you’ll want to “check in” with yourself as to which new skills you are learning and which might need more practice. To this end, Camming is the perfect medium to test out new skills that you want to get better at It’s even better if that skill involves something that can be communicated to a large group of people. For example, are you considering learning a new language? Then, why not try to attract fans who speak the language you are trying to learn? It’ll really open your mind (and increase your earnings).

In reality not all of us will have the chance to travel to the beautiful Czech Republic. That doesn’t mean we can’t try our hand at studying the Czech language. We might start attracting customers who speak our native tongue AND customers who speak Czech. It’s an awesome chance to test out this particular skill.

Well, did you get something from this article? Please share it with your friends and drop a comment. We truly believe that the more you build your skills, the better performer you’ll be. The better performer that you are, the more you will achieve all of your dreams as a world-class cam model. You’ll look good, too.
