How to become a webcam model?
I am 23 years old, from Russia, so I apologize for the translation errors. I study for a journalist. In my free time I play video games, go to concerts. In the summer, if possible, I’ll hitchhike around the country.
Web modeling is a job where you communicate with viewers (using a webcam), fulfilling some of their requests. Webcams are often compared to pornography because in both cases a naked girl sits in the frame. I learned about the existence of this profession at the age of 18 from my boyfriend, who was much older than me. He said that there are girls who simply stream themselves and get good money for it. Later on Facebook, I saw a post saying that the webcam studio is gaining models: they promised remote work with good earnings and without a dress code. One of the main requirements was knowledge of foreign languages. I learned that in every million-plus city there are several webcam studios that do full-fledged business on streams (most of them are concentrated in St. Petersburg). Studios are ordinary three- or four-room apartments, in each of which a model sits. Typically, studios have a large base of girls who change, for example, every six hours. The studio receives a percentage of donations.
I wrote to the author of that post, but they didn’t take me. This did not stop me. I started looking for people who work in the studio and asking them how to start working for myself. The agent of one of the studios advised good sites (mostly foreign) on which anyone can stream. Then I earned by selling virtual gold in World of Warcraft. I was just interested to try webcams as an experience, the process itself was interesting. I was never afraid of anything and did not see a problem in the fact that at my age I was interested in work that is tied to sex. I didn’t even stop that the webcam falls under an article on pornography. I had too much free time and the desire to keep busy with something.
About expectations.
When I started, I had no serious fears about work. Most of all I was worried about the fact that I would have a small income or payments from a foreign site would not reach me. I thought that basically I would have to be naked and masturbate on camera. But everything turned out to be much more rosy: most of the time webcam models just have to communicate with customers. We can talk about cats and penguins, Putin and Trump, video games and modern art, or do something on a role-based topic to get used to. I’m not necessarily asked to undress, sometimes it can just be dancing.
One of the advantages of a webcam is that on the site you can choose the build of the girl that you like. I am a non-standard model, so when a person comes to me, he knows what he sees. There is no negative about my weight. In general, webcams are more body-positive than professional porn. The main thing in streams is to please the audience: I know many beautiful girls, but they do not know how to communicate with the audience. If you can’t interest and hook, they will leave you.
How do streams work?
It’s hard to start from scratch. Many different girls sit on webcam sites, so you have to work out your image for a long time in order to somehow attract the public. The more often you go on the broadcast, the more people see and remember you. It took me a month to recruit regular viewers. Now, on average, 600 people watch me from several sites, my record is 1200 visitors per shift.
My workspace on the site consists of three columns: on the left, I’m displayed, in the middle – the general chat of the audience. The nicknames of visitors are shown in the rightmost column: their names glow in different colors, and on the contrary, the approximate balance of a personal wallet is indicated.
In general chat, I usually communicate, smoke cigarettes, vape, hookah and something else that cannot be called. In this chat, viewers sit for free, but they can send me a tip. Usually I carry out some requests from the comments so that people don’t leave, I manipulate that I’ll go to sleep if donates do not send me. In a word, I feel like a dictator. The general chat is full of freeloaders: they have no money, so they are trying to breed the model even on a part of the breast nipple.One of the visitors can invite to a private show, and if I agree, the main broadcast is paused. During privates, there is masturbation, heart-to-heart talk, striptease, role-playing games, games of mistress or slave, trying on various images and underwear. In private can be from one to several people, but most often they occur one on one. Private broadcast depends on how much money the member has on his account. There have been cases when a person was thrown out of private due to lack of funds. One of my longest privates lasted 2.5 hours. All this time, money was withdrawn from the guy’s account and transferred to me. There is also a “Voyeur” mode in the privates: the client can watch, but cannot comment, it’s cheaper.
About money.
There is no and never will be real money on webcam sites. Instead, tokens are the currency that a visitor acquires in order to sit in private chat rooms or tip models. Each site has different rates. Suppose a site sells one token for one dollar, but not a whole dollar will reach the model, but at 70 cents.
As a rule, I stream three to four times a week from eight in the evening to three to four in the morning. Sometimes a little less often, but this is only if I am sick or take a vacation. Still, earnings in a webcam depend on how often and consistently you appear on sites, so I try to stick to the schedule. Professional models can lift several times more per shift without doing anything without problems. I work very lazily and leisurely, I can send visitors to their own penis. About 7-10 thousand dollars come out per month. For a small provincial town in Russia, especially for a student, this is a lot of money.
What are visitors asking for?
When I started working, absolutely any requests from visitors seemed strange to me, but now I’m used to it. I painted myself with paints, licked soft toys, washed stockings, and once even staged suicide. If we talk about taboo, then I do not do what is prohibited by the rules of the site: for example, you cannot demonstrate blood, waste, excessive cruelty and animals. Also, you cannot drink and use narcotic substances. On the site where I work, cruelty and many complex BDSM practices are allowed.
In streams, as in porn, there are various subsections and tags. There are webcams with first-person shooting, there are in formals, there are “fluffy monsters with black holes.” Recently, a popular toy is Lovense – a vibrator that can be controlled via the Internet. The girl inserts it into herself, and when donates come to her, he vibrates. I also have a props: a decent arsenal of several sets of ropes and pure BDSM equipment is slowly being assembled from sex toys. Sometimes I purposefully sew a suit specifically for a webcam.There are many geeks among viewers of webcam models, so if a movie or game comes out, the girls quickly look for a suitable suit. One of the most popular cosplay is the heroine of Owerwatch Diva and Tracer. Previously, the Dota 2 game was still popular. Of the films, the superhero theme is most valued: literally six months ago, every fifth girl did the braids under Harley Quinn from the “Suicide Squad”.
As for me, webcams are much better, more soulful and realistic than most porn. It is unlikely that I could be a porn actress, although both professions seem similar. I think that to some extent even more is required from the webcam model than from the porn actress: you need to be able to talk with the crowd and in private, find an approach to different people and feel their mood. Quite often you have to act as a psychologist or sexologist. From time to time, I record and edit videos for my pages on webcam sites: it can be streaming or specially recorded videos. Buying individual videos is cheaper than chatting online (in addition, you can get to know me through them if I’m not online). Prices for ten-minute videos start at $ 10-15.
About types of customers.
I have my own system by which I share clients. Omega-virgins – you have to talk a lot with them; married people – they know what they want, the easiest to handle; fetishists – as a rule, fetish on the feet, armpits, stockings and some toys; sick bastards – a subcategory of fetishists who could not find the right porn on the net, so they try to recreate it themselves. I hate whiners without money, which put pressure on pity so that I pay attention to them. They spoil the mood, and also make me feel guilty.
I mainly work with foreigners. I like the European mentality – they believe that people need to be treated more calmly. On Russian sites in general, there is also nothing negative, but I just do not like their contingent. And from European sites younger people write to me.
What do others think?
My parents do not know about my part-time job, although I live with them: we have a good relationship, so I don’t see any reason to move out. Thanks to the delicious mom’s cutlets, daddy’s philosophy and excellent sound insulation. I told my friends: they do not blame me, but sometimes they tease and play a trick. Some, when they learn about money, say that they also want to try webcam.
I used to have a boyfriend. I told him for a long time that I’m doing streams in the “Flirt” and “No-nude” sections – that is, only talking, without undressing and masturbation. But one day I was asleep. I told my friend that I bought a new props for streams, and he was there at that moment. I had to tell the whole truth: he reacted normally, did not condemn me. Nevertheless, I decided to part with him in order to quietly earn money and, without remorse, to dance at bar counters in other cities and countries. I believe that while I am young, I should travel, have fun and meet new people.
About body positive and the future.
With the advent of the “webcam” I have become easier to relate to people and their bodies – now I do not see anything shameful in the naked body. This is more likely not acceptance, but body-indifference: my body is not your business. It has become much easier to relate to sex and the search for partners, I have learned to distinguish sincere feelings from simple animal passion. I finally accepted my body, stopped looking at it as something wrong or non-sexual.
People jerked off, jerk off and will jerk off. Personally, I don’t know a single webcam site that would be closed. Webcam is online prostitution. She was always, just now she migrated to the Internet. I support the legalization of prostitution. First of all, legalization will benefit people who work in this area: legal protection, improving health, less likely to be thrown for money. In addition, this will reduce the number of girls who do not work of their own free will. Sooner or later, prostitution will be legalized everywhere. I love Russia very much, but I hope that in the future I will be able to move to Europe.If you read to the end, then you probably liked my story. If there is good feedback, then I will continue to write about interesting stories from my work. Below is a link to the site where I work. There will also be a link if you want to work as a web model, and those who want to try their hand as an agent of web models. If the links are banned, then write to me personally, I will drop the links to you.
