Greetings everyone, I write this on a Sunday morning and I'm kinda blown away, over 1000 votes on my first post so thank you so much. I really wasn't expecting anything, being a Steemit newbie, if I'm honest I don't even know what Steemit, Blockchain or any of this Crypto stuff really is, so I guess I'm just saying thank you for taking the time to read it.
I'm going to follow on now in My Life as a Camgirl musings and I may even make it into a journey that you can follow with me. Again, as stated in the first post, this isn't a cheap plug for my website or free ad board, it's just sometimes it's good to have a sounding board to let off steem (excuse the pun).
Although Camming is essentially my full time job, I also play a part in erecting a different kind of structure. I'm also a builder, yep you read that correctly. If I'm not knee deep in Lube, I'm knee deep in Mud, sand and cement. Building was actually my first love, I'm a creative person at heart, which is probably why I cannot have a Cam show where I just sit there blasting my Pussy for 10 hours without some sort of interaction.
I can do most things the guys can, bricklaying, plastering, window and door fitting, laying slates and some carpentry. I'm currently under the wing of a sparky and plumber who are teaching me the basics for when I eventually get the heck out of the UK, buy my own place in Portugal and fully renovate it. See I have dreams, just like any other person in the job they do, camming really isn't any different. I use my building work for living and save as much of my camming income for the big move. It's slow and I don't expect it to happen overnight, I will make it happen though.
I get very strange looks at first when I arrive on site. I used to get the wolf whistles, which abruptly stop when my HPPT go and have a word. The HPPT is the Heather Personal Protection Team. I've worked with them all for ages, they are like my brothers and don't allow any nonsense when we work. Don't think I get an easy time though! I'm not a Tea girl or a bit of eye candy, I work my little tush off and it certainly beats going to the gym. The mere thought of a gym send shivers down me. I always find it funny that the average gym goer, drives their car to the gym to ride a stationary bike in front of a mirror. Call my cynical, but what the fuck is that all about?
So this all got me thinking about the life of other Camgirls. I'm obviously not the only one who has a back up source of income, I'm yet to find another lady builder though, if you know any then pass them my way and I'm sure we could make a killing. Naked Builders R US has got to happen sometime.
I had a comment on my last post about making money on the camming sites. Don't get me wrong, you can make money on them, but please ignore the flash statements that some models make upwards of 20k a month. I'm yet to see anyone making that sort of money on the "free" sites. The site itself makes just as much as the models make as the token cost received by a model is around 50% of what a viewer pays. 100 tokens costs around $10 and model gets $5 of that. So in the end the camsite doesn't care too much about you as a Model, you'll leave and one will join.
Free sites are basically the gutter of the porn industry. I'm not trying to offend anyone on there as there are some wonderful models and amazing viewers. Deep down though, it's a massive free for all of who can do the most degrading shit for as long as possible whilst still saying oohhh aahhhhh in a remotely convincing manner.
Where have all the ladies gone? Where is the class, where is the etiquette? If you want to start in the industry and I sadly admit that the only real way in now is through these awful sites, then don't sell your soul to it. Don't try and be something you are not and don't do anything you don't want to do. You are in charge of your shows not the viewers.
Camsites will do Zero marketing for your room and I can kind of understand that at first for a single model, only for them to leave a month later. The problem I have though is that after a lot of months and 1000's of hours on the site, the powers that be still ignore the real models out there when it comes to promotion. I get it, I'm not 20 with fake tits, a tight ass and a pussy you'd struggle to fit a wiener in, I'm not the poster model for these sites. They have their favourites who, no matter what they do will always be high up on page 1. Being on the front page gives 100% exposure to every single visitor to the site instantly. If you are there, then it really doesn't matter what you do. You could sit in a gorilla outfit and still get 10000 in your room. I'm not saying you'll get tipped as what I said in my first post, more viewers means nothing if they are not even registered. And you'll get the most Anons on the first page, just after a quick wank. I just got a little fed up though with the way the sites rate their models for page listings. I've seen models who totally disappear for months yet first show back are on P1. What does that say about the models who have literally been ramming god knows what into themselves for the last 3 months only to get bumped out of the spotlight as some 19 year old, photo shopped goddess can come straight back in and take their place?
Camming should be more than just a tight ass, camming is an art form in itself. Give the right amount of teasing to make the viewer want more each time. Make your personality shine through. Not just fucking sitting there with a pink lovense lush dangling from your pussy whilst you fake a slight vibration. But unfortunately that is the way it has gone with the free site platforms. These ugly and quite ridiculous tip activated toys have destroyed the camming world. Models may disagree and I accept that, but take away these Lovense toys for Chaturbates top model and she will not get tipped. Viewers believe that their tips are making the girl cum. No they're not guys, sorry to burst you imagination, but they hardly give a slight tickle. I used them initially, I burnt my way through 3 of the damn things as the build quality sucks. In the end I was getting really harsh stomach cramps after a show. It cannot be good for you having a WiFi connected vibrating egg shoved up you for hours on end. I have my doubts over WiFi safety anyway, so I know longer use WiFi or those horrible toys when I'm live.
If you are a model who uses these toys successfully, take it out for a week and you will notice a massive drop in not only tips but also your viewers. You will also have to be more creative with your shows, you can't just sit there anymore expecting it, you gotta work it girl. We all know that porn is fake, that really isn't his teacher who is sucking him off but that is a fake taxi driver :) My dad's housekeeper was 70 years old and my babysitter was about 40, so we all know that it's fake. Camming should be more intimate with the viewers more real. Who the heck wants 1000's watching when only 2 are tipping? You're giving yourself away for nothing. In reality though, people don't want to pay for porn. It's accessed at the click of a button by anyone, anywhere anytime and it's free.
I used to lose viewers but also gain loyal regulars because I can honestly say that as soon as Lovense went out the 3rd floor window and landed in some lucky guys hands, I have not faked or needed or indeed wanted to fake anything since. Because of this, when I cum and I mean really cum, I had to go on a break. Seriously guys, I know a woman can have multiples, but we can't have them within 2 minutes of each other and if your girlfriend said you made her cum 5 times in an hour, she's fucking lying to boost your ego. So after a cum I stayed around for a 10 minutes then went on a break, if anything it got rid of the crappy viewers who were probably streaming my can out to fuckthemodelsmoney.com . I gained loyal regulars as they knew that once I'd given them an incredible toe curling orgasmic cum, I'd be popping off for a coffee in 10 minutes time. They appreciated that I was real, I wasn't jumping around like I was on crack for a 5 cent tip.
This post has kinda gone off in all directions today. A lot on my mind and a lot more I want to say.
So I'll finish up with this.
No day is ever the same, you never know what is going to be said or asked. So, at the end of each blog now, I'll post three questions that I've been asked on a regular basis. With my advice on how to answer.
- Do you have kids?
Advice: Don't even entertain this sort of question. Firstly, I'm categorised as MILF so that should kinda give it away a bit. Second, if you answer, the next questions will go along the lines of, do they ever see you naked? Have your panties ever gone missing? Seriously, get the fuck out of here and check yourself into a prison that will never allow you to see the light again. What to do as soon as you see this question, and as an older model, you will. Block and report the freak. Not that reporting will do anything but we all live in hope. - Can I see you Poo?
Advice: Really? Do I even need to give advice on this one? The answer, just in case you are wondering, is...Aw thank you, but I'm not allowed to do it on here, followed by BLOCK THE FREAK. - Can we meet up as I'd love to fuck you?
Advice: Never give your real name, never tell them where you live, never ever ever ever meet up!! Camming is strange in a way, some viewers automatically think that as a Cam girl you are a prostitute. Just tell them straight that you don't meet up or do what I do and say that the HPPT will be accompanying me That normally shuts them up. Seriously, DO NOT MEET UP and don't give them your phone number. Email is fine but not the same as you use for Facebook lol.
I think that for today, that is it. I hope you find it helpful and a little entertaining.
