Question For The Ladies:

[Tina_Ballerina]

I have been getting a lot of e-mails in recent weeks from adult web sites asking me if I may be interested in working on their site as a cam girl.

This is something I have been thinking about, and am interested in finding out if you girls have tried this at either an office, or from home.

If any of you have, what is the income like? The hours? The customers?

One particluar site says that I will make $1 minute in private chats. Depending on how long the member keeps me in private is based on how much money I would potentially make.

These sites say the girls average $2,000-$10,000 per month, based on how many hours they work.

Now, mind you, you could work 5 hours a day, and only get one or two members in private for 5-15 minutes.

Thus, is working from home via web cam worth while?

For the guys:

I know that a few of you have said that giving your credit card info to an adult pay site screams *rip off*

How many of you actually pay to watch girls on cam?

I know I have.......

Thanks for any useful input.

Cam-ing can be profitable, if totally soul-less.

There are chicks who make large bank off i-friends and the like.

There was a special on TMN called "pornucopia, going down in the valley" about the porn industry.

There was this couple of school teachers who made 45K a year as teachers and started their own cam site. They now say they make 6 figure incomes each....Yes, it can be profitable but at what cost?

IMHO the whole thing just seems so trashy....I've watched some of these cam shows (freebies) and it IMHO it makes the girl look cheap. Don't know why I say this but if you're going to do porn, being in a video seems to me like a less trashy way of doing it.

If it pays the bills, and no one gets hurt, then go for it as long as you can make enough money for your valuable time. I have never paid for web cam time. I pay to hobby in the flesh.

friday nights

on showcase "without borders" has a show on that has a web cam site feature. one gay married guy is setting up his own site with web cam, skip that part its stupid. Another feature is of a web cam company , they showed the interview process for new girls. the one girl met with her chatter, its a no no, so she got fired. Along lines of prostitution they said. She was a top money earner, but she had a "very" loyal following. Saw her leave on a bus, from a small apartment so do not know about lots of money but it must have been enough to sustain her. And that was, what its about, hook line and sinker.

Tina: have a question:

How many times a day can you masterbate? I'd say that's what most of the guys will eventually want to see.....

Now that I mention it, I wouldn't mind watching you masterbate..just don't fake the O lol

The whole thing does seem a little desperate. I'm talking about the guys that visit these sites. Its different, in my opinion than arranging for and meeting with an SP, going to a strip club or seeing an MPA. Half the fun is the social interaction that takes place.

I picture a guy with little or no social skills sitting in front of his computer/monitor and pulling his wanker while he is asking you to fondle yourself. I think after the first month or two, this would become very stale.

I would think that it would be something that you would regret later in life Tina.... even if you made good money.

I know a girl who did it she gave her real name address and so forth thru a fax then she did it for two weeks and the guy was out of business no pay ! and he knew all her info ! bEWARE -if you really arent worried about haunting you latter in life or its just a scam ... then i say do it but check out the company AND try and talk to girls that have been doing it oh one more thing Most companies own the rights to sell the video to other websites without you knowing (its in the fine print they own the rights)

IF you're web and computer savvy enough to run and maintain your own site and hardware, you'll probably make money if you market yourself well. If you're thinking you'll just sign up with a cam-site and let the owner handle all that technical stuff, you'll do very well at making him rich.

Think about the Girls Gone Wild videos... it's the guys BEHIND the camera that are making all the money, not the college chicks with nice boobs.

Tina, are you considering working in this remote way because you still can't get the stinky garlic and onion smell off your fingers?

 

[Kurt]

I once and only once paid for one of this site and the girl on the other end was really hot now she had me stay online with for atleast one hour and she masturbated with a cucumber and other things to keep me online. When I got the bill a month late it was for $150 and I felt completely ripped off I was quoted $15 for 15 minute and if you went the hour it would be $45. Luckily I complianed to my credit card and they reversed the charges appearantly this happens all the time but because its an adult site most guy would rather live with the embarrassment then complain.

I should have saved my money and gone to see a lovely lady at a MP or an SP.

Now when I am away my GF and I have computers with webcams and we do shows for each other but I don't know if I would do a webcam site again.

Did you have to use the part about the cucumber in your plea?

These sites say the girls average $2,000-$10,000 per month, based on how many hours they work.

At a buck a minute, it would take 166.66 hours of private chat time to make $10,000 in a month. That's 5.3 hours each and every day. Not likely to happen.

The other alternative is to do only what *you* want to do if there are things you aren't comfortable doing or being seen doing for all eternity. Stay away from sites that have loads of their requirements to make profits; ie. must be nude etc.

The way I see it, as an sp, I would want to use it to introduce myself to interested gents, but not act in a way that would not suit my image as an SP. So, though you might not make tons of cash directly by doing serious hard core, you may, as a sexy and interesting woman, give prospective clients a bit of an interactive experience before meeting.

Basically, use it as live advertising That way, the money's coming back to you one way or another, as opposed to going mostly into somebody else's pocket.

Also; I believe that the introduction of 2257 in the US means you may be required to keep a copy of any cam shows you do with sexual content - how they define that, I'm not sure - so read up on 2257 to see what's required and if it'll be worth your while.

As well, find the cam girl forums to find out what companies are legit, and for tips on 2257 compliance.

Thanks. I did the math. Thats why I posted asking for the ladies opinions regarding the REAL money making potential
