Camming During Summer Holiday Season

Slow room? Worry not, it won't last forever! I am here to offer some guidance on camming during summer holiday season.


The summer season, which for northern hemisphere continents runs May to September; can bring challenges for consistency on cam sites. Understandably when schools, colleges and universities are on shutdown, this is the height of holiday season.


What this means for the camming world is the peaks and lulls in overall expenditure can be more noticeable.


As a result, many cam models find they make less money than they would during the known lucrative times. The typical lucrative times include the spring and the run up to Christmas, when folks are home and in their normal routine of work.


Sure, there are always non-interactive members and guests hanging around for free shows on “freemium” sites, all year round. There is always “traffic.”

It is the quality of this traffic, including its tendency to be interactive and monetising, that can be hit and miss.


Some weeks feel slow and painful, other weeks are more profitable. This can be frustrating as it is not always predictable. Understandably, with lack of consistency, many cam models have less desire to work online and be consistent themselves.

Declining motivation translates to a diminished desire to log on. At this point many models come to me for motivation, finding camming tedious and asking what they can do to improve the situation.


For those who don’t come to me, I am mindful and reach out to the models who go quiet at this time of year. My concern is, that the situation affects their self-esteem and productivity which has a knock-on effect on their financial situation.


YOU ARE NOT ALONE


Please be assured if you’re experiencing the lows of camming during summer holiday season, you are not alone! All models, whatever their level of experience, go through these motions at some point during the holiday period.

Even the well established models with big following and established regulars, go through this. Their regulars take summer vacays, too. Their regulars often have kids and personal lives, so cannot log on as much as they would at other times.

I hope you can take some comfort knowing it is not just you that finds camming during summer holiday season often a drag.


On the upside, I firmly believe that in every situation models find it tough on cam, there is always a positive angle to be had.

The positive angle is… it is an opportunity to learn and grow.


CHANGE THE GAME


So here it is… Try something new! Change the game!


This could mean trying different shows, changing personal styling or vibe.


It might mean changing work schedule to try different hours where you can meet new members.

TIP: How about teaming up with a girl friend or a male partner to do fun duo shows? Work together to create a different level of energy that excites members and makes them gravitate. You can also motivate each other to make the slower times feel less painful.

There is an abundance of opportunity on cam, no matter how busy or slow it feels. You have no end of scope to experiment.


If you think outside the box and nurture your creative side, this is fun and it will sparks the interest of your audience.


Cam modelling is a profession and the more skills and adaptability you have, the more professional you get.

This means the greater your appeal to even more fans and the higher your chances of making money, even during the slow times!

Teaming up with a girl friend adds excitement for members and helps make the chat room busier.

CREATIVITY IS EVERYTHING


One of the roles I love the most as Cam Model Mentor is putting on my “Creative Director” hat. I love working with models on a one to one basis to give them new ideas. Identifying things they excel at, offering tips on how they can maximise their own assets, suggesting alternative themes they can adopt in their chat rooms.


I am always happy to spend time overhauling models’ tip features when they get stuck in a rut. I love coaching them on how they can do this themselves.

Regularly switching up tip options has proven time and time again to revive slow chat rooms.


Doing this inspires members to interact and tip. As such, I recommend you do this as a matter of good practice, regardless. Once a month, once a fortnight or even weekly. Set new shows and action prizes on tip menu, games, goal shows.

Stay upbeat and enthusiastic whilst promoting your new stuff. Maintaining great energy is paramount!


I also advise models to run offers like media sales and packages where members can enjoy a bundle of benefits.

TIP: You could set a one-off price to offer fans a Snapchat or fan club subscription along with a number of naughty images or a custom video. Bundle this in with a one to one video call, sext session or phone sex session. Add this to your tip menu, promote this during all live shows and make a flyer for your social media to promote this offer.

STRENGHTEN YOUR INDENTITY


If you’re finding it slow more often than busy on cam, take this as a sign. Perhaps you need to work on your presence and identity as a cam model. Up your game. Strengthen your niche, or find a new one.


I wrote an article about how to get noticed on cam. This is a great read for models who would benefit from a greater understanding of how to stand out more to tipping members. Have a read here.


SISTERHOOD SUPPORT


Always reach out. Call upon your cam model friends for some support when needed.


Here at LVE Models we have a superb community of like-minded models. These are females who are happy to offer moral support, motivation and a pick-me-up to their peers.

A few contributed to an article which is helpful to newbies looking to grow in the industry. Have a read here.


If you do not have such a community where you are at present, or don’t get this valuable support, it may be time for change. You need not suffer alone, we are here.


KEEP MOVING FORWARD


Lastly, and I know this can be tough when you’re feeling demotivated during inconsistent times like summer holiday season… Please try to stay focussed on the reasons why you chose to be a cam model, and keep moving forwards.


You’re an amazing cam girl and have so much potential! You just need to find your way during these times, and keep evolving.


Staying static means staying stagnant. So keep moving and shaking. The right members will find you and make your time rewarding, during the summer season and at all times.
