Charge more per minute as a Camgirl-because you're worth it!

In the human experience, we are constantly adapting and changing and ultimately, bitching about any change that may arise. My nails cost more now and I tried to learn Vietnamese to tell them how upset I was but alas, I accepted the increased price (change). And this automatic resistance to change is the biggest reason why more webcam models don't charge MORE per minute when they are literally baring it all.

Why? Because when a totally awesome Camgirl ups her prices from $3.99 to let's say, $4.59 and SOME (not all) of her "regulars" will complain, and bitch and moan about how the prices ARE TOO HIGH.

BULLSHIT. At the end of the day, most "live models" are getting incredibly freaky and kinky at the request of another male voyeur (or several-which increases profits of course). Essentially, these gentleman are DIRECTING THEIR OWN PORN and they are going to whine about a $0.60 increase per minute? Boo-hoo. Let 'em all cry it out ladies.

"...this automatic resistance to change is the biggest reason why more webcam models don't charge MORE per minute when they are literally baring it all."

You are worth every single cent (or Euro, Pound, Yen, Peso, etc.) and as a driven Camgirl you should be SLOWLY increasing your prices. You are "boiling the frog" as they say in the South. What this saying means is, you can't just simply throw a frog into a pot of boiling water. No, not at all.

You have to START with a nice lukewarm water; something inviting for the gentleman to come join you in (maybe, $2.89 per minute your first week). As you start to get a following and some high-quality regulars that absolutely LOVE your cam sessions you should totally increase your prices by at least 12 cents per week. You are turning up the heat, little-by-little, on these little froggies ;)

Now, I know this sounds like an arbitrary number but I have tried several different "price strategies" over the last 7+ years of me camming and for some reason, 12 cents is just low enough (but high enough) to net some seriously nice profits. After 25 weeks (approximately 6-months that equals a $3.00  increase-um, yes please!) And since most girls should start at around $2-3 a minute, in 6-months of hustling on Streamate or MyFreeCams you can feasibly be making $5-$6 per minute. Personally, I think every single XXX webcam model should make at leat $6-$10 a minute. You can accomplish this by smaller price increases so the "crowd" really doesn't notice the increase enough to be shy with their wallets. Make more money and continue get that consistent paycheck, growing larger as it may be. By smaller, less noticeable bumps in your Camgirl rates you can do this. Easily.

And when you think about it, as gas prices are the HIGHEST IN HISTORY AT THIS TIME OF YEAR in the United States, nobody is really complaining too much in the media about gas prices. Why? Because "oil and gas" has also "boiled the frog" in an effort to make more profits. By small bumps in prices, over the long-haul. (Gas prices are projected to be $4-$5/gallon by summer btw's! Yikes!)

"As you start to get a following and some high-quality regulars that absolutely LOVE your cam sessions you should totally increase your prices by at least 12 cents per week. You are turning up the heat, little-by-little, on these little froggies ;)"

Petroleum and sex happen to be so similar because the average American guy 100% needs BOTH every...single...day. Sex sells and it will always be recession proof and since it's a necessity to gentleman then every single girl should charge AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE per minute.

The more Camgirls that adopt higher prices, slowly but surely, will drive up the AVERAGE PRICE that every single webcam model enjoys. This means American girls, Brazilian, Russian-every single model should make more by this global effort to charge more per minute, every week.

You are beautiful and you are worth it. And those hairy bastards need it. LOL!

Now go charge more for that next solo show and boil your frogs as you wish:)

Cheers:)

Using Google Alerts to make more Camgirl profits

The majority of my posts on the Camgirl tips and advice blog are mainly to do with the mental side of taking your clothes off for strangers, albeit for a lot of money, it's still a psychological roller-coaster sometimes and I have been lacking a bit on the technical side of camming. The reason why, is that most people are successful because they simply have the "mental toughness" to not shy away from challenges, or rude, money-deficient, grumpy boys to make that money. With this all said, we live in a technological world and it's time for more articles on the tech side of being a naught webcam model. Here is something that I use a lot to my benefit for free. (Google really does rock.)

Let's take a peek:)

I give you, www.Google.com/alerts

And it's a beauty! Let me explain: whenever you type in some search data like "Big booty blonde's" or something specific (because it applies to you, hypothetically) into Google Alerts you will get an update EVERY TIME anything on the net is published with the text of "Big booty blonde's" for example.

Why is this a big deal? Well, there seems to be A LOT of heartache over webcam sessions being stolen and put-up on a "Tube site" so some jobless goober can whack his hog. Boo that. So...if you enter your camgirl name like, "Lisa X" into the aforementioned Google Alerts then every time something NEW on the net with this text criteria (which applies to images and videos nowadays according to my SEO camgirl vixens) shows up, then I get an email (so convenient) with the link and textual information. I can then take action to take down illegal material. Or just simply defend my pretty little reputation! :) But I digress...

At the very least, you can more easily find out if some other camgirl is talking inappropriately about you due to this monitoring/search service. Oh, and you can set-up as many "alerts" as you fancy. This is definitely a helpful research tool. What do you think?? Let me know in a comment below:)

Bottom-line: it's automated, it's free, it's a monitoring service (instead of deep-Googling for hours during a slow cam night) and it can also help your search engine optimization for your newfound camgirl career, which later helps when/if you decide to make a members-site or even a blog. We should all be so tech savvy. SEO article coming soon...thanks for stopping by:)

Cheers:)
