Heya here. i just started webcaming a few days ago, I'll try to avoid some obvious questions that have been already asked a hundred times.
First a little bit about me - Started on Saturday. Pretty confident in my equipment (main job in non adult streaming related industry) light and background. Not the hottest girl on the internet but I've seen worse. Using multustream (yeah I know it's bad, but I wanted to get experiences on various sites asap to choose my favorites). Tried Live Jasmin, Stripchat, Chaturbate, Camsoda, and forgot the 5th one but quit it quite fast. usually I had 2 of them open at time, 3 whilet here was really a few people onine monday.
I have no problem with nudity (worked in a stripclub before, but physical contact with customers made me feel bad). A rich experience of erotic roleplay online. I guess I'm kinda soft for webcam, as i don't do anything beside nudes, roleplay and foot play (no penetration, masturbating, lovense). At long term i want to specialize into feetplay and dom, as it's my natural inclinations.
So my first day (saturday) experience was so-so. I've read some online guides, but forgot all of it while I was streaming. Spend a lot of time filling profiles, choosing pics, and ended to be online for 5 hours only. Tried to be nice with everyone, talked a lot in public chat, did some soft requests (flashing, showing feet). Din't received a single token for that. Ended with about 60$, 40 from a long roleplay with a sub guy.
Sunday was better, I advertised pvt more aggressively, ignored free users. Ended with about 120$ in 7 hours. My striptease work experience played a bad trick with me - while working there you see your customers and you can guess how much they are ready to spend. Here you can see only they rating which isn't really a good indicator (got longest pvt with so-so ratings, and got super rated users speak for half an hours with me in free chat before leaving without a tip.
Monday was the bottom. I understand that there isn't a lot of people online on this day, but ended just freechatting for 3 hours, a 30$ pvt at the end, and stopped there. So I took some days off to think about my experience.
Here are my through, these is totally newbie through so correct me if I'm wrong:
-Going nice will lead you nowhere. The whole work is a bargain between you and the user. You trying to sell yourself as expensive you could, while he's trying to have the cheapest price, ideally for free (seen a lot of users try to scam too). It's by no meaning a calm work if you're not used to eastern-bazaar style haggling.
-Most models are running after a small number of whale clients that really remind me the freemium mobile game industry (didn't had any obviously, just a though after seeing top models stremings). Even if a customer has tokens, you cannot ever say if he hasn't bought them five years ago and never used them since.
So overall it's a highly stressful and confrontational work. You're also get robbed by platforms (common, 30% is the rule for virtual distributors, google, apple, steam...wtf 50%?)
After rereading it appears that my experience was purely negative, but it wasn't, I'm gonna take a couple of day to rest, and try it again with this ideas in mind.
I also have a question - how do you manage the "get nude" clients. I got a ton of them on Sunday - start pvt, get nude, they cum, they quit. Overall pvt time less than one minute, so i spent more time dressing and undressing than there. On subday I did it with the "client is always right" logic, on monday I stopped it, trying to chat about anything which lead to have 7/10 insta quit the pv. Some advice about it?
