Don\u2019t text or make calls while camming. Don\u2019t do your homework. Keep your music at a level where customers can still hear you talk. Customers will not feel engaged if you aren\u2019t paying attention to them. We\u2019re human. Stuff comes up. If something pressing needs your attention, tell your viewers you\u2019ll be back soon and log out to take care of it. If you don\u2019t think this is a big deal, check out the review sections of Chaturbate or Flirt4Free and see how much customers like a distracted model.<\/p>\n
HONESTY IS THE BEST… WELL, YOU KNOW<\/h3>\n
This is a 2-parter. First, be as honest as you can (without risking your safety and privacy) about yourself, your likes and dislikes. While the sexy stuff is a big part of camming, the personal connections you make are equally important. Your repeat customers (aka your biggest tippers) will inevitably be the ones who feel close to you both inside and<\/em> out. But you should also be honest about your limits. If a customer asks you to do something you\u2019re not ready to do, tell them you can\u2019t politely and apologetically. Don\u2019t lead them on! Even if they go elsewhere to meet those needs, you\u2019ve established a non-judgmental trust that could bring them back for many tips to come.<\/p>\n Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up. I mean to say, if you keep toys, costumes, and fetish stuff nearby, it\u2019s right there when someone asks you to use it. When someone in chat says \u201cdo you have duct tape and nipple clamps?\u201d and you say: \u201cyeah, I\u2019ve got them right here,\u201d a couple of things happen. First, they know they\u2019ve come to the right place. Second, they feel safe in sharing their desires with you. Trust is huge in getting repeat customers. And it’ll net you nice tips.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll get into this at length in another post, but one tip is to always ask your customers if they have a cam too. Most of the big cam sites have a camera-to-camera feature, and I\u2019ve found that this is one of the best ways to make your customers feel engaged, and let them know you\u2019re interested in more than their money. Some will be too shy to try it, so don\u2019t push. But it\u2019s always good to let them know they have the option. Interactive toys that respond to tips can also be a big draw. I\u2019ll have some more in-depth write-ups on these in another post as well. But think of it like this. Cam modeling is to porn as video games are to watching TV. One is passive, where the viewer just watches. The other attempts to immerse you, and make your thoughts and decisions feel important. The more immersive you cam show is, the more customers will return for its \u201creplay value.\u201d<\/p>\n Here’s our final tip. Yeah. It\u2019s a job. Yeah.\u00a0 We\u2019re in it to make a living, first and foremost. But I find a lot of customers get turned off when you get too financial about things. This doesn\u2019t mean you should give away the goods for free. It means, you have to entice them into spending money, entice them to tip, instead of asking for or demanding it. It\u2019s a skill. You can learn it. Flash. Tease. Play games. Part of what they\u2019re paying for is the fantasy your friendship and money grubbing breaks what actors call \u201cthe fourth wall.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, there\u2019s a lot more to doing this successfully than what I wrote here, but I hope this is a good jumping off point. Stay tuned, as I plan on elaborating on all this and more very soon. Thanks for reading!<\/p>\nKEEP YOUR “TOOLS” HANDY<\/h3>\n
SURE, I’LL DO THAT RIGHT AWAY<\/h3>\n

On the subject of repeat customers who ask you to do stuff: when someone asks you to do something, get to it right away. Especially when doing a paid show. This is a time-is-money environment. Dragging out your strip routine when a paying customer is asking for more actually risks you losing that customer. Short term gain, long term loss.\u00a0 Customers who come away from your show feeling satisfied will come back. Customers who think you teased too much, or they had to overspend to see that cockring will probably go elsewhere. It\u2019s simple math. You earn less from one 45 minute show on Monday than you do from Three 25 minute shows over the course of a week.<\/p>\nI-C-U<\/h3>\n
