I'm so glad I'm not the only girl who's thought this. I consistantly only ask for extremely low prices because of my size. Not just my size, but all in all my body isn't NEAR perfect. I've even had times where I'd look at another girl's profile and try to figure out if 'I'm half' as pretty as her or 'a quarter' as pretty as her, and then fractionize my price from her price... but mainly I just end up doing something even lower than the calculation because 'I'm just not that hot'

I've always wondered if I'm losing money that way, or gaining money that way. I'm always stuck between 'charge low and it'll build up' and 'maybe it won't build up, but maybe if I ask for something higher than my comfort zone there will so happen to be that one man who's happy to tip it to me because for whatever reason I'm just sooo cute to him'

This makes me so fucking sad even though it's super relatable for me.

I avoid camming/filming/snapchatting sometimes because I think I look disgusting and unattractive, and assume nobody would want to look at it. And inevitably then I do snap a photo and get an immediate reply of regs being like "I missed you!! You're hot!!" etc. And I'm only short-changing them (dudes who've paid for snaps) AND myself (losing out on potentially making $$$ from videos or tips, plus the self-esteem boost that comes from compliments haha).

Ultimately no matter how hot or not you feel, you are still sharing an intimate part of yourself with your dudes. And they are choosing, out of thousands of girls, to pay you for that. Camsite dudes don't tip altruistically (most of the time) -- if they tip for a flash, it's not because it's the cheapest boobs they can find, it's because they want to see YOURS.

And it has taken me years to realize but not everyone wants one specific body type and just settles for "less". There are infinite camgirls with what I'd consider conventionally attractive looks, some who charge a lot and some who don't. Anyone who's looking for a slim young blonde has fucktons of awesome girls to choose from -- but your dudes choose to spend time & money with you because you are what they want. There's no need to settle in Camland. If someone is paying you, it's because you give them tingly boner feels or they enjoy spending time with you. And your sexuality and personality are not worth less than someone else's.

I just really urge you to set prices you're comfortable with, balanced with amounts that let you make your goals -- rather than basing your prices on your own perceived hotness, base it on your current rank and where you want to be. (Like if you're on MFC at camscore 1000, maybe you can't ask 2000tks for shirt off, but do mini goals to get to 2000tks - based on your ranking and with the goal of increasing your overall tokens.) And remember that there are oodles and oodles of members out there who will find you sexy as fuck, exactly as you are. And don't compare yourself so directly to other girls, that will always make you feel awful!!

(Side note: I feel like assessing our own attractiveness is often like assessing our own mental health; we're too close and too introspective to actually see it. Sometimes I agonize over whether my nose looks weird or my face looks too fat in a selfie and literally nobody else will look that close. I bet I've seen snaps from other girls on their "ugly days" and I'm just like "aw there's Camgirl, she's so cute, love her necklace" haha.)

I wanted to hug, like, agree and mark this post helpful all at once
 
Just wanna let other fat babes know that people will pay plenty of money to see you naked and doing sexy things. I've just started on streamate, and on my third go someone paid ~$200 to chat with me and masturbate together. I only got $70 because the sites a bit of a rip off.
But someone paid $200. For me! And they'll do it for you too one day
 
"There's somebody for everybody" and "don't feed the trolls" ...speaking from experience if someone says something negative I don't even read the whole thing! I read half of it and can OBVIOUSLY see that it's an insult and BAM their blocked! Simple! Outta my world! And I don't think about it again. I just tell myself "oh they're just mad. He's probably one of the guys thats sitting in my Instagram DM upset because he got left on seen" Because if I dwell on it it'll only make me feel bad about myself. I used to feel bad. But not anymore. I'm too good for that! No matter WHAT size you are you're ALWAYS GOING TO GET TROLLS. You could have the most perfect body and beautiful face and a troll would come in and be like "ew why is one tit bigger than the other?" Like a dumbass. Trust me, IVE SEEN IT! I love this thread. Us bbwchix need to uplift each other. Really camgirls as a WHOLE!
 
I'd consider myself a fairly successful model on MFC and I'm also BBW! I think it really is about projecting your confidence. I have plenty of guys who aren't into bigger women but just into me overall. Also like Gen said, please price your videos at a rate that YOU feel comfortable with. Being a BBW doesn't mean that any of us should settle for less.

You're always going to get trolls. Just ban and move on with interacting in a positive manner with your room! :h:
 
I think being a BBW cam model is a lot easier for those who are.. like in its name, big BEAUTIFUL women... the ones with good shape and proportion... my body is not close to that, nor is it close to healthy, but on the upside of that I've found that being a cam model has inspired and motivated me more than ANYTHING to start working out regularly, eating healthier, and just caring for and tending to my body more. Sure, cute clothes and stuff is motivation but when money is involved at the SAME TIME... that's pure motivation right there. I'm trying to drop at least 50 pounds (if I wanted to, even closer to 100 would be healthy for me, because of my super-short weight) and I never would have thought porn would make me more ambitious than anything else lol... I know I can't be the only one this has happened to

I am wanting to start doing cam shows or anything to make extra money. This was very helpful. I am also bbw. And very reluctant because of my body. I really like this thread. But I don't even know where to begin doing this

UM can I just tell you i LOVE your MFC profile??? And you're gorgeous!
 
I'm into everything when it comes to women. I have a feeling that there are a lot of men like that and like the model said a few posts above-- a lot of times it is just about being into the woman and not a label.

I saw a BBW who was pretty high in rank last night-- It happens.
 
I can't give you advice about the BBW thing but I can throw out some general advice. I think your ideas are great with games, creating conversation. I would highly suggest turning off your pm since those people are just distracting you from what you need to be focusing on to reel in more viewers- your free chat. People are less likely to stay in your room if you are paying attention and typing away quietly with people that are probably there to waste your time and not being interactive with your main room. I wish I had known this my first few days on mfc.

Good luck!

YES! Great advice.

An important thing to remember for BBW'S on any site is to avoid thinking that you have to do things cheaper than others because of your size. I've had guys thinking that they'll get a free show because they're in a chubby girl's room. Nope. They're still going to pay to see what they want.

BOOM!

Agreed so hard. Don't let anyone act like you're worth less because of your size.

AMEN! Say it louder for the folks in the back!

I'm going to step on my soapbox for a minute, as a BBW or chubby model that has a big belly with a small chest...

I find myself building up my confidence and self-esteem, when I'm not in front of the camera. I can easily be excited about camming and taking pictures, and feel sexy. When I am preparing and I catch glimpses of myself and the aspects of my body that I hate and are "cringe worthy," though, it takes a lot for me to follow through with camming and taking photos.

The point I'm trying to make, though, is this: no matter anyone's size or shape, believe somewhere within yourself that you are beautiful, even if that belief has to be something that you have to force feed yourself. I haven't seen you or your shows, but I know you are beautiful and deserving of the same respect and money making opportunities as everyone else... Why? Because you are human and have the same worth as everyone else.

Love yourself, and don't sell yourself short -- in this particular case, both literally and figuratively. You deserve more than it seems you give yourself credit for, dear.

Could you recommend a website for us big girls? And does these sites use paypal?
The post literally right above yours names the site that has been most recommended in this relatively short, two page thread...
tl;dr it's Streamate and no it doesn't.
 
Do you need to be naked? Can you have clothes on in the beginning and still get payed?
Do not be naked in free chat. You cannot show below the waist nudity in free chat. And no. You don't need to be naked to make money. There are days when I never remove a single article of clothing--but, I'm a Domme so i get naked when I say I get naked.

Sorry if this sounds terse. I've had very little sleep over the last two days lol

This thread made me feel much better about about being a bbw and camming. I was worried for a while that my stomach would be a problem but knowing that some men like bellies sure helps and gives me a little extra confidence :)
I hope you dont mind me commenting, I'm on the forum in my Business Support capacity, but as a guy and an ex model and someone eho has many many friends who are web cam site fans, BBW is definately in - so be proud, be loved and most of all enjoy :)

Well said, if there was an applause icon it would be activated. Such a refreshing and heartening view :)
 
I'm not bbw, but I am chubby. I used to make decent money when I would actually cam on MFC when I was skinny. I was never consistent, but when I'd get on I'd make money. Once I gained weight, I found that Streammate was much better for me even though I was lucky enough to get a brand new MFC profile with new girl status that I wasted my first time around. I'll still log onto MFC every once in a while, but I won't go back full time till I'm skinny again and ready to put in 110%. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have only ever seen one bbw model in the top 20 on MFC and that was housewifeswag. She's fucking hot as shit, makes hilarious videos, makes sexy videos, and has such a likable hustle when I've dropped in. BBW models can definitely make it on MFC, I'm sure, but it is going to be much, much harder than sites like Streammate, CamModelDirectory, and NiteFlirt.
 
No girl that calls herself a bbw has finished in the top 20..but a handful have finished in the top 100, and plenty in the top 500. The highest ranking (that I know of) was both HouseWifesSwag and AngelDeluca (she was known at IAmNotAnAngelat time)...they both finished at 21.

I know MFC has this bad rep when it comes to bigger girls..but I honestly think its gotten SO MUCH more bbw friendly over the years.

MFC has always been my most successful site (which I base on a per hour average), and its easily the environment I enjoy the most.

I also cam on SM regularly tho. I like having the option. I say try both!! Maybe one will work better then the other, maybe both will work, maybe neither will work and you'll wana try a 3rd site.

And, if that sounds like the same advice I might give a non-bbw...its cuz it is. I really don't think there is a special set of guildlines, hints, tricks etc for bbws.

I hope you find whats best for you!

A lot of people seem to overthink it. Most of the advice for bbws is the same as advice for any model - be confident about your body, be aware of which body parts will be your selling points - mine are ass, then belly, then tits - and try out a few different sites/approaches and see what sticks! I started camming thinking that I would be an explicit model and make money masturbating, and I ended up becoming a domme because after trying it, that was what I was more successful at.
 
Yay! I'm so happy I found this thread. I've cammed a little over the past couple of years (when I was more curvy and less bbw) and very rarely had any trolls. I just block trolls immediately, there's no point in keeping them around. But I loved reading all of these responses- my confidence is definitely boosted. Thanks ladies for the great advice and confidence boost.
I have recently started working on my body confidence and honestly camming is helping me :rofl:
