Give your regulars the "bedroom eyes" for more privates

I gotta hand it to her...she totally kills her room's guys with every enchanting, angelic, piercing "bedroom eyes". CandiCruz is a very capable and awesome webcam cutie that is very clearly confident in her sensual skills and that confidence absolutely reels the spendy guys that want a girl that stares deep into the webcam (like she's looking at ONLY you).

And yeah, it really feels like she is looking at you. This one little detail is at the heart of attraction-when eyes meet, even if only in a virtual world, is still the most fool-proof way to get a guys attention. And make an extra $100 a night if you are able to acquire the easily-learned skill of "cum hither" eyes!

Yes. This one technique that Candi does could dramatically help your earnings increase in one quick move. Just imagine you are at a bar and you see a guy (or a girl;) and you are totally rocked by their meer presence and you are just looking at the guy like you want to rock his world...tonight! THIS is the way that I personally use the "bedroom eyes" to my advantage. Practicing in the mirror is both fun and encouraged to get this trick down:)

I first started REALLY noticed eye-flirtations when I first saw the show Modern Family, starring a whole cast of hilarious people...but the show seems to revolve around Sofia Vergara and her especially beautiful eyes that is constantly communicating something a little extra on top of her words. I really tried to key-in to how much more spice she adds to her conversations and how I could use that to make more money when I'm in front of my webcam:)

So, thank you Sofia, for once again being an inspiration. And thank you Candi for being an awesome example of a wallet-destroying adult webcam model that I think we all strive to be;)

Granted, I don't hate guys-I swear I don't-but you have to understand that if you are going to be a really good webcam model then you have to look at them like money deuche bags and nothing else. It's nothing personal, either. If a guy acts crazy, ban 'em and get back to counting more money than most of your professional, nine-to-fiver friends. It's a great gig, whether you are building a webcam career, with tons of regular, loyal fans OR you can simply just make money whenever you are needing extra cash-whatever-it doesn't matter. It could be for a last-minute vacation for your husband, or that Dessert Eagle .45 pistol you've been eyeing ;)

The moral of the story is the better you get at being a virtual stripper than the more money you make per minute, without begging or being naked in Free chat. BOO that shit. Make those beggars pay for it and you have just empowered yourself and all the camgirls, worldwide. It's a great feeling to see girls doing so well with $1,000 weeks becoming pretty commonplace. Keep it up and I will try to write the best advice columns for the camgirl that wants to make the most money at home.

Muah!

Noxzema for a blemish-free booty

Last year, as I'm strolling the AVN and enjoying the festivities that Vegas has to offer, I chat it up with a starlette that claimed her flawless booty was in large-part due to her daily butt-lathering of a healthy dose of Noxzema. Yes, the tingly face cream (also, very nice for the face in my personal opinion) made from eucalyptus leaves that Koala bears LOVE to eat. Well, I love Koalas so anything THEY like, I'll give it a shot. Plus, it feels amazing and has been around for a long time, which gives me confidence that what I'm putting on my face won't be causing any issues.

Okay, so first off, let's look at the name "Noxzema" and sound-it-out..."No-eczema" is what I hear. And it just so happens, eucalyptus oil, which is the primary "tingly" ingredient in Noxzema is great for MAJOR skin issues like eczema. It is this refreshing smelling oil that has a lot of magic in it's plant-based fatty-acids.

Now, I had heard this tip before but at the time, it went in one ear and out the other. This time, I tried the Noxzema technique my friend Jennifer suggested and have been noticing clearer, smoother skin on my bum. Just in time for my arrival back to camming after my sabbatical.

The coolest thing about the tingly face (and butt) cream is that it is CHEAP and can be purchased ANYWHERE, which is nice because sometimes you only have a Wal-Mart to choose from and not a Sephora! But alas, a true lady always prevails, regardless of the situation.

It is also suggested to drink ONLY water in order to flush your pores out regularly if you are having issues with any blemishes on your titillating tush or fantastic face. Ever since I stopped drinking diet sodas, it has been much easier skin maintenance. And a daily wake-up and massage on my tail-feather has had me smiles ever since.

Try it. Even if your butt is awesome:) Ta-ta for now...;)

How Streamate.com could be the best webcam site...EVER

Yes, even though I've slacked at checking my twitter account (@CamgirlAdvice) lately, I have enjoyed a few email exchanges from girls with really great tips or fresh perspectives on being an adult webcam starlette in this increasingly competitive industry.

One email communique that particularly caught my eye regarded how Streamate.com, which happens to be my favorite webcam site (full disclosure: I don't even have ads on my site at this time; this is just fact in my experience), was now offering "geo-blocking" where basically, you can block countries or states...or even cities. Sweet! Let's take a closer look, shall we?!

Privacy has its perks
Granted, I personally, have no issues with showing my face or identity (aside from my writing identity being linked to my day job-LOL!) while being on webcam, some girls do, and for good reason. As "open" of a country the United States has seemingly become, there's still the potential social ostracizing that can be expected if a pretty girl is "discovered" in a conservative, or small town. You are not having sex with anybody, but stripping in front of a webcam is still a pretty big taboo for most people. It's really up to you and your comfort level.

And oh yeah, there's that little thing that people don't seem to treasure nowadays, which is privacy. Some people DON'T really want too much attention. Guys giving you compliments while you take home $2-$3 a minute is usually enough, trust me, for even the biggest ego (I shant name, names). And some people just don't want the drama involved because some people are sick and mentally-ill, and stalking does occur sometimes. Yes, your earnings will take a hit if you "block" a resident state, but is the sacrificed peace-of-mind worth an extra $20 a night? Let's take a mathematical peak girls...

If you are making $200-$300 a night, then 10% and 7.5% respectively, is a pretty low percentage of reduced income in my little hypothetical equation here, but you get the point. A sane and peaceful mind and body will help you make more money, over a longer period of time.

And guess what, you shouldn't be enjoying the perks of being a webcam model, making in excess of $50 an hour, only to be so stressed out that you gain/lose large amounts of weight or are constantly cleaning hair out of your sink or brush because your body is physically reacting to the scrutiny that a discovered model may unearth.

Don't lose your butt/beautiful hair. Just up your game and make a list of items that could improve your "private show" with the guys. Plus, money is NOT everything and greed is a disease we should all avoid. Seriously, we only have this one life and the sole pursuit of money and all things materialistic is laughable, when we ultimately can't take any of our possessions when you die (a trollie made me realize this-hilarious!).

But I digress
Back to Streamate being able to "block" certain areas of the country and the globe... The model I'm talking to is SO excited that SM is now blocking (a lot like Adultwork.com, Myfreecams.com, Homecams.com, etc.) but only to find out that the Streamate's geo-blocking implementation was having some "bugs" to say the least.

Essentially, some of the "tech staff" @Streamate were giving the girls the run-around, when scores of other virtual hotties were having the same blocking issues. Bottom-line, blocking is not working on Streamate just yet. And yes, I will absolutely make a post when it is completely functional and I get the "all clear" from the rest of my webcam peers that blocking is indeed, working.

I will make a bold statement here: if Streamate is able to successfully block regions/states/cities/countries yada-yada-yada, then it could quite possibly be the best overall adult webcam site in the universe.

But until then, at the current posting date of this latest blog, the "blocking" is only working SOME of the time for the majority of girls, and it seems like it is disabled once girls are getting online. That definitely sounds like a "bug" and I'm not even technical.

BOO!!!

Eventually, I'm sure the professionals at SM will get their shizzle together and evolve like the rest of the webcam world and ensure successful geographic-blocking so that even more money can be had by the eager girls that are all turning-out nice profits, night-after-night.

I live for empowering women in this arena, simply because it can be very competitive, lined with soiled individuals that only want to SOIL you as well. It's my small attempt at contributing something of value to the single moms or struggling college students out there that would be facing foreclosure or just a high-school degree if it weren't for Al Gore's invention called the internet (I may have used this joke before-Ha!).

Cheers:)

Desperate Housewives make money at home with a webcam

While I was laying in the hospital, I happened to come across an episode of Desperate Housewives which depicted an older woman doing some naughty things on a webcam. I shrank a little in my bed as I saw it.

As soon as I saw it, I thought-WOW! Webcam sites like Streamate or MFC are going to get a TON of new traffic AND they will get a lot more older women (younger, too) trying to make a few thousand extra per month. Do you see the bittersweet situation that being an adult webcam model is now offering? ARG!!!!

The existing base of professional Camgirls has to fight that much harder to make a $300 night a consistent thing. And yes, $300 a night (4 hours) is not terribly difficult as long as you charge a decent price per minute AND the website has plenty of traffic going there. I cannot stress traffic enough. And yes, you can check Alexa.com to "SEE" the traffic going to a site, but bottom-line, if the traffic is a miscellaneous hodge-podge of jobless non-spenders then this information is basically worthless.

Trust me, I have reviewed A TON of webcam sites that looked good "on paper" but when the true character of the website and business is tested is when you see if you can make some REAL money. Most webcam sites will NOT make you money. At least not yet.

There has been a huge glut of webcam sites popping up in response to the demand for "live porno" essentially, which will really lag in traffic at first. Eventually, as more and more guys get addicted to directing their own porno movie, there will be enough soon-to-be empty debit cards floating around, which is great news for the girls working hard.

Prediction: as more and more guys get their "rocks off" to an interactive model that actually responds to your words and desires, there will be much less money spent on pornography in its traditional form.

The ugly, unfortunate, money-sucking truth of it all is that porno tube sites (I won't add a URL for those bastards) are offering up FREE porn to the masses-all virus free (mostly).

But here's the catch though, while most guys are watching their free porn, they will have a pop-up window showing a camgirl (usually on Streamate) trying to entice a private. The more FREE porn is watched, the MORE likely guys will eventually pay for a "private session".

Moral of the story is that being a webcam entertainer will get tougher in the short-term, but will be such a common fixture in the porno culture, that enough money will be had by all.

But...and this is a big butt (LOL!)...this means the collective masses of current webcam models will need to be that much better at their job.

In closing, I will say it again, as I always do: if you are reading this article, chances are, you are hot enough to be a webcam model (guy or girl) AS LONG AS YOU HAVE PERSONALITY!!! It's just the way it is.

Guys not only want to bust an orgasm, but they want to feel special and even manly (in most cases). Bottom-line, in this hyper-fast existence that we now live-in there seems to be a serious yearning for human connectedness even as the population expands at a galloping pace. Use this knowledge and understand how it can ultimately make you rich if you so choose to do so, and you have a natural talent for live camming.

That is all for now, my pain meds are starting to kick-in and it's about to be sleepy time. YIKES! Have a great week girls and I will talk to everyone soon:)

Cheers:)

I have been away for a while...

Without sounding like I want too much attention, I have been completely off the internet for the last few months, as I was "clipped" by a trollie in San Fran visiting my cousin. Um, getting "clipped" sounds innocent enough until it puts you in the hospital (ICU for 3 days). I feel sheepish about the accident but the entire time I was getting better, I wanted to get back to sharing good information with the fellow camgirl. I'm back and I'm better than ever...almost...I won't be camming for probably another month, but good camgirl advice galore is in store.

I'm taking topic suggestions as well, so if there is something that you need more of an enlightenment, give me a shout.

Now, go look both ways when you are hangin' out downtown and make that money girl!

Cheers:)

How foreign girls make money like American girls

As an American Camgirl I have an advantage, as do all my American Camgirl peers, and the advantage is that I speak perfect English and I know the subtle nuances of American culture (in short, I read American magazines, books and watch American TV-unless you count Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which is a super-hot film). Basically, I'm easy to talk to since MOST of my customers, as well as many other Camgirls I know, are American boys. However, if you have some exposure to English then you'll probably do fine like girls in Brazil or Colombia or even Mexico. Canadian girls are essentially American, but with a bit more chic, European culture and a little less tan. They totally rock and their paychecks keep them performing week after week.

Yup. American boys are not necessarily the horniest lads of the land but on average, they have the deepest pockets. And this is the name of the game. After all, nobody REALLY wants to shake their tail-feather for 6 hours straight if you are only making $1.99 a minute! I'll cease my blabbering.

My point is, if you want to make the most money per hour camming then you need to adjust and adapt to a culture that will LIKELY be your biggest set of clients. And these clients speak English and are generally American boys that watch The Simpsons, phart a lot, love watered-down domestic beer, and want to see a big bootie get spanked. In a nutshell, they're brats with money. And for the most part, they are tolerable brats so the excess of $100/hour makes it reasonable to get a bit kinky.

However, as I've mentioned before, you still need to run your chat room how YOU want it, while maintaining that fine balance of alluring the clients into handing over their wallets and credit cards. Camming is so much more mental than physical, when you really notice what the very successful girls do. They are more than just a pretty face.

TTyl...

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:)
