Anyway this is a whole compilation ... I had to repost this since Reddit decided to claim it as spam when I added more linked comments in the FAQ section. Check out the comments as I will add more there. Anyway this is a whole compilation of my saved comments that I've recycled to beginner posts. Obviously, it's best to have multiple perspectives. So if you're well-experienced, feel free to recycle your own saved comments or best tips in the comments of this post. Be mindful of using keywords for the search function. Beginner questions get asked so often to the point that mods tend to just delete them. You have to do your own research with the plethora of information that is already available. Experienced models are giving their time and knowledge to help others for free, not to repeat ourselves with nearly daily newbie questions. There's nothing wrong with asking questions. You don't know what you don't know, and sometimes people don't know the subreddit search function. What is annoying is when they are basic and general questions that could easily be answered with a subreddit/google search. Now, I prefer to teach someone how to fish, not give the fish. If you're doing this, you're a business/independent contractor, and much will depend on your own willingness to create and lead your business from the ground up. Not following what someone else did and think that will get you the same outcome. There's no best site, no best time, no best whatever. It doesn't work that way. There is way too many variability for it to be simplified in such a manner. Otherwise, everybody and their momma would be doing it. That all said, I encourage you to search first, ask as needed, then mold responses in ways that fit for you and your brand. It's a lot to do in the beginning, and to periodically do/review, but it's definitely worth it for a long-term successful business. There is no updated, new success formula, or even just a formula, other than to be consistent, well-disciplined, and business-minded. Here's a compilation of my recycled comments below, but it's best to read from multiple perspectives. Keep in mind that this is only the beginning, as there's a lot to learn over the course of your time camming. You're not gonna learn everything, and at some point you just gotta jump and start, but this will give you a good head start. 1. This and other cam/content-related subreddits: Read the wiki in this subreddit. It's meant for beginners and it's comprehensive. Yes, it's outdated, but most of it still applies; and it will help you think of keywords for searches of anything new. The same goes for other subreddits. Use the search bar in this subreddit using relevant keywords to any questions you have like "setup", "time management", "DMCA", "taxes", etc. When searching information about platforms in this subreddit, use their full name and abbreviation (e.g., "Stripchat" and "SC"). For subreddit search results, don't just look through posts. Also filter results by comments and skim for related responses. Other helpful subreddits: CreatorsAdvice, Creators_spicy_tea, SellerCircleStage, and onlyfansadvice. 2. There are resources readily available via: Google, Youtube, blogs (e.g., sexworkceo), etc Cam model forums (e.g., ambercutie and wecamgirls) Platforms' FAQ and guides in the support tab Many platforms have Discord and/or Telegram for their models 3. Observe (if you don't easily compare and get jealous): Observe top cam models and models with similar demographic/niche/etc as you on platforms you're considering joining. Don't compare yourself to them or form expectations of big money or huge traffic, you're just not at their level as a beginner with no following. The front page is filled with models with the new tag, models with years of experiences, or they spend many hours online at a time. 4. Sex work (SW) is not quick, easy money. The only thing predictable in SW is that it's unpredictable. One day you can work 4hrs and earn $0, and other days work 2hrs and earn $150. You may hear models say they earn $100/hr. It can be a bit misleading if you're new to this, as it's not like an employee wage. You can earn $0 for 2hrs and then the third hour earn $300...that's technically $100/hr. Moments like that is the reason you need discipline to get and stay online for your shift. In general, it's unstable income that relies solely on your own discipline to work and save for benefits (i.e., insurance, retirement, etc), 20-30% savings for taxes, and savings for the slow, bad times when you're not earning much but bills need to be paid. Simply being attractive is helpful, but there's a plethora of beautiful models. If you have nothing else to offer but to sit there and be pretty, then you're likely to struggle. This is a business...it can be fun and convenient, but it is a business. 5. Once you've decided what platform(s) to try: Thoroughly read their TOS and COC (Terms of Services and Code of Conduct), which is the agreement you signed to register. You will want to periodically review this, and/or as needed. Break rules, get banned (with or without notice), and lose money already earned but not transferred to you. If you have further questions about rules, it's best to ask support for clarification and save that email response for your own records. Sometimes people here respond with the wrong answer or with misinformation. Imagine having your camming income fucked because of that. Each site has their own guides on how to navigate the platform, further clarification about TOS/COC rules, tips on how to be successful, scams to look out for, etc in their support/help tab. Read them. You can find that tab in your dashboard, scroll to the bottom of the page for "support", or just google it. Many platforms have their own DMCA removal services that you can request (for free) when you see stolen content/recordings elsewhere. No, it does not guarantee removal. Yes, searching your stage name can be daunting, but it's your responsibility to do so if you care about that. Otherwise, you can pay a DMCA subscription service to do it for you. One of the ways cam sites generate traffic is by use of affiliates sites aka whitelabel, blacklabel, mirror sites. They're structured similarly to the platform you cam on, but run under a different name. For example, Jerkmate (jerkmatelive) is an affiliate of Streamate/SM. So while you register as a model on SM, depending on how you adjust your settings, you will show up live on Jerkmate as well. Most platforms have a new tag that either starts when you're verified or on your first stream. They are for different lengths of time as well. Maximize the new tag as much as you can. It's not everything and it doesn't guarantee anything, but it does give you increased exposure on the front pages. You may feel a huge difference when that new tag is over, or maybe you won't. Just use it to build your following/brand as a cam model. On any platform you use, with a cam site, social media, etc...look at all your settings and adjust accordingly. You'll especially want to do this for your privacy/security settings. 6. Below are links to more comments of mine to frequently asked questions, so consider this like a FAQ section.
