Appearance is important

APPEARANCE: PRESENT YOURSELF WELL

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

AppearanceWe 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 CONNECTIONAppearance

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

AppearanceAn 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.

AppearanceIn 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.

MAKE THEM LAUGH: ENHANCE YOUR BRAND

Guide to Camming LaughterWe all like to laugh. Learning how to make customers burst out laughing in the chat room is an invaluable resource. It’s also a resource that could increase both your earning potential as well as the enjoyment you feel after you put in those long “tip filled” hours in front of the computer. So often do we become focused purely on earning, and forget the joy of actual human interaction and what lies behind being an ultra-successful cam model, i.e. caring for your customers and having a good time with them. It’s time for that to change. Chances are that the better time you’re having with your customers, the more you will earn. Make your goals, enjoy the moment, and the tips and the money will come. But enjoying the process has a supreme value in and of itself.

May I Laugh Now?

In an interview, the mega-successful male cam model Izzi once stated, “Watch comedy!” In that same interview he went on to talk openly about how he preps himself into “cam mode” before a cam show. Simply said, he’ll often watch comedy. For Izzi, comedy puts him in the groove (well, that and maybe some sexy adult material, too). He talks about the value of making an audience laugh, and trust me, if you’ve ever seen Izzi on cam, you know he’s all about entertaining his fans (us at GTC among them). There’s something to be said about someone who can woo an entire room with a joke, with a funny dance, with a compelling story, or with a funny antic.

No More Tension

Using humor can also diffuse any tensions that might arise in your room. Let’s say that your fans are staring to fight over you, or at each other for whatever reason. It’ll take a smooth negotiator to quench those angry flames. One solution could be to use humor to deflect the argument, and turn the attention back on what really matters (having a good time!). Another solution is to use humor to shift the tone in the room. The last you want is for everyone to leave because two customers were fighting. Take the high road. Take Izzi’s advice and make your room laugh!
