CREATE YOUR “CAM LOOK”

Cam Looks 5When customers see you on cam, they see the “you” that you paint yourself to look like. Maybe you clean and organize your background. Perhaps you’re choosing just the right outfit or accessories to highlight certain parts of your appearance. Whatever intentional steps you take, think about the purpose of this venture. Think about your selling traits and how you can craft your “cam look” so as to keep yourself at the top of your game and be the model that rises to the top of whatever site you’re choosing to call home.

Cam Looks 3Remember, literally every physical feature defines your sexual identity. It sounds shallow, but remember, this is the camming industry. Some customers will judge you based on how you present yourself on cam. When you intentionally build your on-screen persona, you are taking control of your cam image. This kind of control will help you understand what works and what doesn’t. In finding out what works, you are able to tighten up that narrative and see what further strategies will help you earn even more.

And, of course, when we discuss physical beauty, we are not always referring to purely sexual content. Physical beauty is a complex topic, one that can’t easily be explained or summarized in a short blog article. That said, your physical beauty can shine from small part of your appearance. Think of George Clooney’s salt and pepper hair that ages him in a pleasing way. Think about Marilyn Monroe’s birthmark. Or, think about Channing Tatum’s muscles combined with his boyish smile. All of these things are subtle, but they help escalate the person to an iconic status. Think about what sets you apart and use it to your advantage. Present your best self to the world and the world will shine back at you. Own yourself. You deserve it.

Cam Looks 4In just taking these first steps to understand your beautiful points will work to your advantage. In doing so, you are truly creating your “cam look.” Your cam room is your own and how you choose to express yourself on cam is your own choice. It doesn’t matter that you are not a celebrity. Every step you take to focus in on your strengths will build you into a better and better model.

GROW YOUR APPEAL: SEX APPEAL AND CAMMING

Sex AppealThe cam industry revolves around sex appeal. For better or worse. It’s important to realize and come to terms with the idea or concept of sex appeal. Doing so can ratchet up your cam shows and help you earn way more than you ever dreamt you’d earn. Let’s begin by first developing an understanding of sex appeal. Webster’s defines sex appeal as “stimulating attractiveness.” That’s an interesting definition in that points to your ability to stimulate an attractive sensation in the viewer. And the more that you can stimulate such a feeling, the more that viewer is going to want to spend time with you on cam.

FANTASY

Classic Sex AppealMoreover, sex appeal is a fantasy. Who you are in the mind of the viewer is all that matters. Of course, in your day-to-day life off cam, you probably go to the grocery store, stand in line at the post office, and order your coffee just like everyone else. But when you are online, you are an enigma. You are a larger than life image who is also intimately personal. I remember the first time I saw a celebrity I admired in real life, I was absolutely stricken with excitement. My hands went clammy. My breath tightened in my chest. It was exhilarating. The fantasy of who that person was struck me to the core. In the same way, your image (your fantasy) bores into the viewer and makes their heart thump in their chest. Any way that you can build that fantasy and lure in more customers, the better off you’ll be. Learn to grow your online presence as the fantasy that your customers intimately desire.

EXPRESSION

Sex appeal is expression. Use your abilities to express yourself to nurture and empower your sex appeal. Hone your image so that your customers fall under your expressive spell. Be the model that you know they want to see. Express yourself. 

ATTRACTION

Sex AppealYour sex appeal is you being an attractive person. By “attractive” I don’t mean that you necessarily have to be objectively beautiful (as if there is such a thing). What I do mean is that you should work on what makes you attractive and develop that gift. It might not even be your physical attributes that make you attractive. It might be your ability to charm and seduce your customers. Or, it might be your ability to make your audience laugh. On the other hand, it might be your ability to radiate the kind of energy that moves your audience to keep coming back to you. Learn about what guides your sex appeal and intensify that energy. It will rocket you to not only be a better model, but a better person.

CLOSING THOUGHTS on APPEAL

In the end, it’s not just having great body parts, it’s knowing how to portray them & your unique qualities that your audience is going to find captivating and encourage or excite physical stimulation. Remember, sex is an expression and in this business, it is in a sense, an art. Grow your art, grow your self, and grow your sex appeal.

PROFILE PICS: WHAT SETS YOU APART

It’s a steamy summer night in the city. Imagine that you are someone looking to spend a few quality hours on a cam site. You’ll be looking for that extra-special model who’ll be the best choice for an evening in. Now, imagine that you come to your preferred cam site of choice and are confronted with a wall of profile pictures or images from the chat room (depending on the site). Your customer is going to think impulsively about his/her choice. That is, your customer will only spend a split second deciding which model he/she wants to spend time with. Snap your fingers. Click! Just like that.

GTC Profile Set Apart WomanUltimately, 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.

THE FIRST HOOK

GTC Profile Pic Female 1Your 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.

Exactly.

As a professional or aspiring webcam model, it’s always important to remember that your profile picture is the first thing any customer sees of you. Your name might seduce, but we are visual creatures. Your picture is everything. Not to crank up the pressure too highly, but this profile pic is your “image” on the site. Moreover, it is your business card, your poster, your advertisement and the first impression a customer has of you.

The rule of thumb here is that it’s important that your image be something captivating, eye catching and appealing. Also, the angle should be attractive, highlighting whichever part of you that you want coming to the forefront. In brief, it should display your best feature and your selling points.

IMAGE SPEAKS VOLUMES

GTC Male Profile 1Your 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.

Customers know how to pick out models who will settle for less and models who expect top dollar. Which do you want to be? 

YOUR UNIQUE STYLE SETS YOU APART

Now, don’t get discouraged. Pick yourself up and get ready to rock. No cam site outright expects you to have a professional shoot done. They more than welcome new cam models. Maybe try an image that is Instagram worthy. Ask yourself, what does my profile image say about me? What does it say about me as a cam model? Are customers likely to pic me out of the other models on the site? Do I look fun? Am I captivating? Do I look appealing?

A generic, basic selfie is no competition to a model with professional images. It is easy to fake it. Get dolled up and have a captivating pose with good lighting. Having an image only showing your butt or your cleavage is great, but it is also a dime a dozen. Any customer can go into any room and find a great pair or great abs, legs, etc. That is not what sets you apart, and makes you unique. Your face is what sets you apart. Your unique style sets you apart.

Remember that… “Your unique style sets you apart.” It always will. When a customer decides to check out your site, they are drawn in by your profile pic. They are drawn in by your essence. Make them feel it. Be your best self.

THREE REASONS WHY ATTENDING INDUSTRY EVENTS IS A GOOD IDEA

Welcome to the business! We’re glad you’re here. As an ever growing industry, you’ll soon find a ton of professional events that are relevant to your career choice. These events can be extremely helpful to your development as a top model. Industry events can be an awesome way to increase your visibility, gain new fans, and get to know the cam platform that you call home. While there are many reasons why attending industry events is a good idea, we’ll give you three hot tips that might help you better see the value of such a decision.

Reason #1: The Strength of Networking

It’s no secret that the world revolves around knowing the right people. The cool thing about industry events — when you participate as a model — is that you’ll be able to really get a feel for the lifestyles of other models as well as get a really useful “behind the scenes” look at how the cam site you cam on operates and treats its models.

Reason #2: Meet the Fans

Meeting fans is fun. Events provide such an opportunity. You won’t only be able to rub shoulders with other industry professionals, you’ll also be able to interact with (and be adored by) the fans who help support you as a cam model. That’s right, I know it might feel a bit intimidating, but trust me, it can be such a great experience. Remember, you truly make a difference in the lives of your fans. While some fans might only be interested in the sexual side of things, there are plenty of fans out there who love spending time with you and getting to know you as a cam personality. Meeting them is a way to say, “Thank you.”

Reason #3: Learn from the Pros

A really cool thing about industry events is that they give you a chance to see the pros in action. For sure, you might already be a pro, so you can value what we’re saying here — industry events are not only great places to network and meet fans, they are also fantastic places to see how professional models interact with other industry professionals. Also, you can see how models interact with their fans. In general, ou can study how they comport themselves among a crowd who connects to their business. Trust me, if you keep your eyes open, there’s so much to learn. And learning is fun. Learning keeps you sharp on your toes.
