Before you even start camming you need to read ALL the information on the site you're working on, especially your contract. You should understand the types of shows and how they work before even broadcasting.
Dudes will try and scam you. Always. Forever.
This job is one you need to be capable and self sufficient in to an extent. This forum has a search function. Use it. Read all the things. Think of it as job training. If you don't have the gumption to get up and do your research and learning you're probs going to get scammed more and quit sooner or feel cheated because you didn't actually understand this job. People will scam you, making money will be hard and you have to learn to be resourceful and self sufficient and if you start on that path bow things will be much more smooth.
Here are answers to the next most commonly asked questions that often come after the first one you asked::
That dude who may or may not have just scammed you: probably also recorded you and your going to be posted on the internet. No, there is nothing you can really do except try to keep up with dmcas but not all places are compliant. so, yes you may be outed. And, yes, you have to pay taxes.
I do hope that dude didn't scam you, it's really an unfortunate reality that guys do this and always try to. Most members are really great, but you will encounter sleazeballs and learning what they do to scam is so important. If you were scammed you wouldn't be the first, but I hope it's the last time it happens and you have so much luck camming.
There is a models only section on the forum. Look into applying because there is a wealth of info and we have such a tight community.
Good luck.
