As cam girls ourselves, we know that there are plenty of myths surrounding the industry! From what you should wear, the amount of experience you should have, the money you actually make – the list goes on! But is there any truth to these? As experts in the cam industry, this week, OTR Models answer some of the common misconceptions surrounding cam using our first-hand knowledge!
‘You Have to Take Your Clothes Off to Make Money!’
We often hear people saying that you have to be pretty much naked to make real money online. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Contrary to what many believe, cam girls can make money wearing anything! Our models have made thousands in gym gear, pyjamas, loungewear, dressing gowns, party dresses, costumes – you name it, they’ve worn it!
In all honesty, success on cam comes to down having the ability to connect and converse with your clients. They’re looking for someone to talk with, someone who will listen and ultimately, brighten their day! Get to know your clients and show them your personality – it’s what differentiates you from any other model. If you’re passionate and authentically yourself, the money will come in abundance!
‘To Be Successful, You Have to Have Cammed Before!’
Nope! Definitely not true. Whilst experience can help, we take on cam models with no previous camming experience. At OTR, our beautiful models are from all walks of life! As long as you are responsive in your messages and have a drive to succeed, we can help you. Our mentors train our models so that they can achieve their best (something you don’t often get at many agencies) and are on hand to support 24/7. So, if you have any queries there’s always someone you can turn to for help.
‘You Still Have to Work Full Time Hours to Make Money!’
False! Firstly, full time in cam hours, are significantly lower in comparison to those at an office job. Cam girls can work however many hours they want to and earn a lot of money. One of the main perks of cam is the autonomy and flexibility of the working hours.
Generally speaking, we say that around 40 hours a month is a good place to start if you’re looking to earn a significant income (keep in mind that you’d usually work 40 hours a week in a typical full-time position). Of course, sometimes you may be online for just a few hours and hit your maximum totals, other times you may need to cam for a little longer. Regardless, we can guarantee that you will earn more money for less of your time – what’s not to love!
On this note, it really pays to make those all-important connections with your regulars; this way you can guarantee better tips. Scheduling a couple of private sessions with those you know will come each week will result in a better monthly take home.
