I am so blessed to accompany a number of high achieving cam models on their paths to success online. I love every moment of helping build their presence, expand their skillsets, bring out their inner Goddess and achieve their goals. Learning the tricks to elevate confidence and push performance to the next level of sizzle is key to growth in this competitive, fast-paced industry. I always think of webcam modeling as a journey of continued self-improvement, with many elements to be acquired and nurtured along the way. There is no overnight success in this industry, and being on a continual quest to be one of the noticeably sizzling ones is the way to reach cam model stardom! I have gathered insights from models I work with, to help with ways you can add sizzle and flair to your own cam shows. Let’s explore their LVE Models' tips to sizzling on cam! ELINA          "Authenticity and Themes" On cam, being sexy is about more than the sexy visual, it's about being yourself. Don't be shy to show your true self, your quirks can be sexy. As a cam model it feels a lot easier to get into your flow when you're being authentic. It also helps create a deeper bond with your fans and encourages them to spend more. TOP TIP: Show off your personality in themes that mean something to you! Create themes for your shows based on things you love and relate to. This can really spice things up. Like, if you're a rock chick at heart, dress up and style your room in that theme. Think about things that make a rock chick sexy. It could be PVC hotpants and a certain vibe. Put on music playlists that set the tone and put you in the mood for having fun with your theme. You'll be sizzling and the guys will want to play! NOVA RAMONE "Affirmations and Scents" Being sizzling is about setting a mood. I'm really into music so listening to music that I can move sexy to helps me bring out the sizzle appeal before and during cam shows. I do affirmations before going live as this helps me set the intention that I am going to be sexy and have fun no matter how much I earn. TOP TIP: Use scents to stimulate your senses and help you connect with a sexy mood or memory! I am really into scents. One thing that helps me sizzle is wearing a perfume that takes me back to a specific memory. This memory will always relate to something in a core positive time. That memory may or may not have been a specifically sexy thing, but the scent that links back to it makes me feel positive and focussed, which means being sexy on cam comes much more naturally. FAITH BLACK "Body Language and Teasing" For me, the key to sizzling on cam is feeling sexy inside. When you feel sexy, it shows to your audience. To feel sexy I think sexy thoughts and create enticing body language like moving my hair around and touching my neck. I wear hot racy lingerie to show off my assets and touch my boobs and legs to draw attention to them. This teases the viewers and makes them want more. TOP TIP: Jump on their compliments with a call to action! When a fan compliments me on my boobs, I give them a quick squeeze to tease them. Often they'll ask for more, like to see them naked, have me play with them or oil them up. I jump on these opportunities to suggest they go private for the full titty show, or point them to where they can tip (tip menu for example) to enjoy a titty show in the public chat room. VALENTINA JUNE "Talking and Outfits" I get into the sexy mood by talking into the mirror before I go live, so I can work on my sexy chat style. I do all my shows speaking in English and English is not my first language. So talking to the mirror helps me practice the sexy chat the guys love. This really builds my confidence prior to going online so being sizzling on cam feels like it's coming easier. TOP TIP: Keep your cam wardrobe fresh by adding new outfits regularly! I would hate wearing the same thing all the time as this is boring and not very sexy. Buying something new every couple of weeks to wear for my live streams boosts my self esteem. Keeping the outfits fresh excites the viewers so when you see you are becoming more popular, it makes you feel even more attractive and sexy! Be sexy and sizzling on cam with regular new additions to your camming wardrobe! KITTY STAR          "Research and Sound" As a new girl, in the beginning it is essential to have a few days at your disposal to start preparing yourself before starting. As research, look at other models that attract your attention and see how they are being sexy. Notice what the members love about them, you may pick up some tips to help you be sizzling! TOP TIP: Be professional with good quality equipment to help you sound sexy on cam! Take care to make yourself heard properly! Guys love to hear your voice on cam, so get a good microphone. If you do this you can use your voice to make a lot more money. Practice using your voice in different ways. You can record yourself talking and see what sounds most sexy. Develop that into your sexy webcam voice and you will become known for your sexy sound!" QUEEN AMARA "Make-up and Tune-in" For me, having my makeup done before I go online makes me feel sexy. In order to put my best self forward, sizzle and gain tips; being fully made up is an absolutely must for each stream. It helps me feel glamorous and professional and also detaches myself from the offline persona (who rarely wears makeup)! TOP TIP: Listen to your audience and find out what they love. This helps you create more of that, which keeps them coming back! Listen to the comments and feedback from the guys and use this knowledge to tune into their desires. Knowing what they want and using it to your advantage means it's easier to sizzle up your shows. If they love your eyes, keep accentuating them with makeup and lashes. If they love your shiny lips or red lipstick on that dildo; keep over-glossing them, lining and painting them to keep turning them on! PINK FLOWER "Music and Visualisation" That sizzle kind of mood before camming comes while I get ready. How I create it, is I listen to music that makes me feel sexy want to move my hips. I'll then choose an outfit that makes me feel empowered so I am excited to go online and slay! TOP TIP: Truly believe your cam session is going to go well... and it will! Visualising how I want the stream to go makes a big difference to how I feel. It also makes a difference to the outcome of the show. Visualisation works really well when you do it with affirmations.

Cam models, get creative with these smart ways to monetize your Snapchat and increase revenue from fans. Do you use Snapchat? If not, here’s why you should get on it… WHY SNAPCHAT? Snapchat is a social media networking app, available for desktop and mobile. Free to download and packed full of fun features. Flexible options including text messaging, photo and video “snap” messaging, video calling and phone calling. Snapchat is discrete. Messages between users are private and delivered in real time. Privacy features: You can see if the other person screenshots or saves. This helps you to monitor their behaviour. Chat history auto-deletes after 24 hours. This removes all chat which has not been saved. Snapchat keeps your phone number and personal information private. You can make your Snapchat undiscoverable to those on your personal contact list. HOW TO SNAPCHAT Create a username which supports your cam/creator name (not your real name). It takes around 5 minutes, via Snapchat.com or Snapchat on the App store. Have a play around with making photo and video snaps, and exploring the fun filters so you know what to do once you get your first Snapchatters on board. Click here to learn how to create snaps. Sell your Snapchat for a reasonable subscription cost. Promote this on your cam site (if permitted), along with your content pages and social media. Once you have some followers, make photo or video snaps. They view these on their snap feeds to stay connected with you. Post daily, if you can. You can show off your look, personality and update fans what you’re up to in chat clips. Give them hot teases to keep them interested, and bring them to you for interaction – which you then monetize. Provide calls to action. Custom content deals, instructions to visit you on cam, information on your availability to “play” on Snapchat. Let fans know what their options are and how to request/book. Post the links they’ll use to pay, or visit you online. SUB PACKAGE One of the amazing things about Snapchat is you can offer a variety of subscription options. You can let fans subscribe for one week, one month, one year or a lifetime. It’s up to you how you price this. Keeping pricing on the lower side will encourage more fans to purchase and help you monetize your Snapchat. Make it clear what you include with the subscription. You have messenger chatting and sext (sex texting), photo/video Snap swaps, GFE packages (Girl Friend Experience), video calls, phone calls and custom content. Alternatively, you can offer your Snapchat subscription-free. You would monetize it by promoting offers for any of the above benefits, to your captive audience. Suggested subscription pricing: One week £5 (or equivalent in tokens) One month £15 One year £65 Lifetime £100 VIDEO CALLS Monetize your Snapchat with one to one video calls. These are private and done over Wifi or 4G data. Offer a time package such as 15 minutes or 30 minutes, with a one-off payment. Let your Snapchatters know what they can do with you on a video call. Ideas include masturbation, toy play, blowjob, femdom, roleplay, fetish, and shower or bath shows. How about enjoy deep and meaningful conversations with your favourite supportive regulars? Once show is agreed, have them tip prior to starting. This way you are assured of the money and they don’t benefit from your time for free. A weekly GFE package should include calls, photos and sext as benefits. Fans pay up front a lump sum for the week. In exchange, give them the volume and frequency of the benefits agreed in the package. Snapchat video calls are usually cam to cam, which means you both can see each other. If your Snapchatter disables their video so you can only hear but not see them, this is because they wish to guard their privacy. This should not bother you, however discuss preferences first, so there are no misunderstandings. For video calls to be successful, everyone needs to be comfortable. Suggested video call pricing: 15 minutes £20 (or equivalent in tokens) 30 minutes £50 60 minutes £75 One week GFE including messaging with a daily call £400-£500 PHONE CALLS Monetize your Snapchat with audio (phone) calls. These work really well. Offer packages for time. Shout out your phone call offers on your snap feed. Do this as a photo snap with text over the top (don’t forget to include how to pay). Alternatively, do a video snap talking to your followers, hyping it up with a call to action! With Snapchat phone calls you can indulge in phone sex, dirty talk, fantasies, roleplays, femdom instructions and anything else! As with video calls, there is so much scope for creativity. I have personally used this feature a lot through my years of camming. It is a favourite! Suggested phone call pricing: 10 mins call £15 20 mins call £25 30 mins call £40 60 mins call £65 SEXT PACKAGES Monetize your Snapchat with sext packages, these are so fun! You can sext via the messenger-style text chat feature or by sending video snaps, pic snaps or voice notes. Offer sext on a daily, weekly or monthly rate. Also offer short time period sext sessions such as 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Make it clear how much time they get, along with frequency and method of messaging. Snapchat sexting is perfect for masturbation, fantasy, roleplay, femdom and GFE chat. Suggested Snapchat sexting pricing: Daily sext £45 Weekly sext £250 Monthly sext £600 15 mins sext £15 30 mins sext £35 60 mins sext £50 PUBLISH OFFERS Create a banner or flyer using a photo editing app. I personally love using Canva for this purpose. Choose your best photo to add your offers in text over the top. Include your subscription deal, video call, phone sex and sext options. Post on your social media and add your pay methods. Instruct fans how and where to tip for the package they would like. Let them know to provide their Snapchat username with their payment. Add custom tip amounts for your Snapchat packages to your cam site (usually you can do this in a tipping menu or bio). Once fans monetize your Snapchat, be responsive and interact with them right away. Make sure you honour what they purchase and deliver amazing service – if you want them to monetize regularly. STAY IN CONTROL Here are my guidelines to monetize Snapchat on a continual and controlled basis: Respond to fans in a positive manner, but don’t be a pushover! Be aware of the individuals who regularly reward your time. Show these guys you appreciate them with extra attentiveness. Be aware of those who do not respect your time, once on your Snapchat. You can always remove them. Remind monetized fans to tip again for future engagements. Do this by posting your pricing at least twice per week. Run flash sales, for example pairing up options at a reduced rate (or offer a freebie). Consider deals like custom video + free 20 min phone call package; 15 min video call + 30 mins sexting; free 15 min sexting with every subscription renewal. Deals often trigger action from fans. If any fan creeps regularly into your DMs without monetizing your time, you can delete them. Now you are armed with all the basics you’ll need to monetize your Snapchat, go ahead and make that dough!

Writing an enticing cam model bio is the first step to drawing in potential fans! Your profile bio is your first impression. It's a snapshot of who you are on cam and it lets viewers know what to expect from your webcam shows. A well-written cam model bio can significantly boost your visibility and engagement online, making it an major element of your online presence. Here are my guidelines to help you pen a stand-out cam model bio that intrigues your audience and gets them keen to meet you and find out more! BE AUTHENTIC Authenticity must not be under-estimated in the cam modeling world. Cam site members want a personal connection so an interesting, genuine bio can help establish that bond. Incorporate elements that showcase your personality such as hobbies, interests, or any sexy quirks you have up your sleeve. For instance, if 'music is life,' let them know your favourite genres or artists. If you can 'twerk' or 'titty twerk,' do the splits or have some fun party tricks up your sleeve, put teasers on your bio. Being authentic not only helps you peak the interest of new potential fans, it encourages them to keep coming back. UNIQUE SELLING POINTS What makes you unique in a vast sea of cam models? Do you possess any special skills or entertaining interests that you can make your niche on cam? Highlight your unique selling points as this sets you apart! If you're a talented singer, share that passion! Or, if cooking is your forte, consider showcasing a signature recipe during your streams, wearing a sexy outfit and apron to tease them with. Make your fans realise they can’t find anyone else like you online... Your individual flair will rock their world! SHORT AND SWEET While conveying who you are is key, avoid bogging potential viewers down with excessive detail. Aim for a bio that is concise yet captivating. Text which takes around 30 seconds to read in short attention-grabbing statements is ideal for a cam model bio. Spend time drafting a short, authentic bio which highlights your unique selling points. Focus on picking out a few highlights that will spark curiosity and make fans eager to discover more on your live sessions. To make it easy for viewers to read on small smartphone screens, incorporate brief bullet points rather than paragraphs. This not only makes information more digestible where viewers can quickly scan with their eyes; it also adds visual appeal and helps avoid a cluttered appearance. USE HUMOUR Humour can be an excellent ice-breaker to connect with your fans, so feel free to sprinkle some personality into your bio! Keep it light and appropriate, as a touch of wit can make your bio memorable and encourage interaction. A playful joke creates a welcoming vibe and set a fun tone so members feel they can relax and have a laugh with you. CALL TO ACTION Lastly, and very importantly... add some calls to action in your bio. Ask viewers to follow your profile, note your schedule and invite them to visit your shows. Highlight any offers you're running on content sales and let them know about any special themes of features you have coming up. Let them know you're excited to have them engage in chat! Encourage them to subscribe to your content and enjoy all you have to offer them as a cam model! Phrases like “Join me live for a mind-blowing time!” or, “Don’t forget to follow me so you don't miss out on the fun!” - can motivate fans to take the plunge and tune in! CREATE THE PERFECT CAM MODEL BIO Creating the perfect cam model bio is an essential part of building yourself up to be a successful cam model. Spend some time with a pen and notepad or digital jotter making bullet points for your bio. Rework it, use good vocabulary and grammer, and read it out loud to yourself. Include key words which are relevant to your persona, camming style and vibe. Put it down and come back to it in a while, read it again, tweak it again! You can write and rewrite your cam model bio as many times as you need. Make sure you're comfortable with it before you publish the text onto your cam model profile. As with anything creative, practice makes perfect and there is nothing wrong with being a perfectionist in this industry! Remember, your bio forms a key foundation of your journey in the industry and it's sure to evolve as you grow and evolve as a performer. So review your cam model bio often and you'll allow your fans to stay up to date with you. A well thought out profile will always spark intrigue and trigger exciting interactions.... So go ahead and make your cam model bio sparkle! And lastly... don't forget to post your schedule along with your bio on your cam model profile! This way, fans know when to expect you online.

Allow me to share my insight to tackle the issue of poor quality traffic. My proven success tips will help you boost engagement and attract better quality, monetising viewers. As a time and duty-served successful cam model and mentor, my calling is to assist other models to build their careers and become successful on cam. We all know making it in this highly competitive industry is not an overnight success, and right now times are hard. Every week and I have discussions with models, usually about the same pain points that make logging on, and staying on, feel like an abysmal chore. These pain points are: Poor quality traffic, and Lack of engagement. UNDERSTAND TRAFFIC QUALITY AND HOW THIS DETERMINES PLACEMENT AND ENGAGEMENT Looking around the major live streaming cam sites you'll see many of them advertise "free user accounts" and "free live sex shows." They do this to attract thousands of users, from all over the world, to join. It is a numbers game. With a sizeable percentage of these users being low budget or even zero budget viewers; it is no surprise that building and maintaining an active, monetising audience as a cam model, can often feel tedious. While there may be thousands of viewers only there to watch for free; there are also high quality, interactive, monetising members still circulating these sites. Attracting this category of fans can be tough, with thousands of other models, all hustling for the spotlight. There are only so many of the 'hot property' placement spots on the major cam sites, where these bigger fish tend to swim around. Quite often these guys are very helpful with engagement, and they are not shy to spend their cash! Lucrative members are out there, attracting them requires understanding and levelling up! We all know that lack of decent quality traffic and subsequent lack engagement, directly impacts placement and earning potential. Where performer stats linked to earnings versus online time drop (aka 'tokens per hour' earnings), this results in a slower and slower chat room. This can affect individuals on a persistent basis, resulting in unfavourable 'algorithmic' placement week in, week out. I see poor quality traffic and engagement being the primary root causes of demotivation in cam models. The end result being, they work less on cam or have no desire to work at all. This is perfectly natural and understandable and is especially harsh on newbies who get stuck in a rut and can't figure out what to do. If you're reading this and perfectly relate to how this feels, I know how it feels! I was a newbie once too. If you look around the big cam sites, appears to be a hierarchical thing. The lucrative members gravitate to the established, top tier models. Pay attention to this and you'll see their personal presentation, room and tech setup, show repertoire and performances... are well polished. As such, these models always show at the top of the home pages. Here, they capture the attention of the top quality traffic aka the big fish, who tend to be interactive. And this, eventually, is where you too can be - with good quality traffic and engagement. A cam model styled and dressed up to attract the high end monetising fans. As with any type of career, achieving mega success requires long-term commitment and continual investment in improving all the necessary elements to become a pro! To help you get ahead quicker, there are basics of how traffic, placements and positioning yourself for great engagement, work. Allow me to enlighten! HOW TO BREAK OUT OF THE POOR QUALITY TRAFFIC RUT "Poor quality traffic" may be the single most annoying cam model pain point, along with poor engagement. The two are interlinked and tend to be a product of one another. I have models telling me: "It was all free users, no users with tokens, nobody chatting." Ugh. I hate this. Honestly, I've had streams like this, too. I get it. You'd rather stick needles in your eyes than talk to yourself or perform for free. As mentioned at the top of this blog, cam site marketing is very good at attracting thousands of free users to bring 'traffic' to the chat rooms. That's all well and good, but it might not be the type traffic you want. "How do the free users benefit me?" - I get asked. It's a double-edged sword in my view. First off, you have to accept that its never going away and make peace with the idea. There is a rational argument to say that any type of traffic (viewers) is beneficial if it drives up the viewer numbers in the room. This is a true fact - it does. It's because higher viewer numbers attract more viewers, which in turn pushes up the room on the home page. This in itself can attract the good guys who will chat, tip and go private. However... When it's all free viewers (aka "lurkers") and lack of the guys who have funds; this scenario can trigger feelings of anxiety, intimidation, burnout, and/or low self esteem in cam models. The downside to their presence is they make chat rooms feel stagnant. A stagnant chat room is not only deflating for models, it becomes a vicious cycle situation where viewers are sent further into complacency, the room becomes even slower and the placement takes a dive. It's too bad that inactive users have nothing productive to do with their time. It just proves how mindless they are, to hang around in chat rooms with nothing going on! Without the interaction that brings value to our time online, you might even think, how can it be possible to create an engaging show and make money? How is a cam model to build a community of supportive fans? When a room full of poor quality, inactive viewers sends placement and visibility plummeting, the chat room is not easy to find by the high quality traffic. So it really can feel like being stuck in stalemate. I will share some of the common issues that see chat rooms stuck in the poor traffic rut: Lack of appeal due to any missing element of presentation: Where there is a lack of attention to personal styling, poor stream quality, poor audio, background cluttered, lack of lighting etc; the viewers with budget will bypass. Unclear or lack of titles and tags : Along with the chat room video preview, these are the first things potential viewers see. If there is not much information added on your profile, no chat room topic or theme, or lack of relevant tags, they will discover and visit other chat rooms that have all of this populated and clear. Inconsistent streaming : Fans want to know when to visit you online. Sporadic short streams and lack of schedule mean they'll be hit and miss, too. I know it's hard when you're struggling to get interaction going, but this is a very important pain point push through. Consistency pays off! Lack of promotion outside the platform : Relying solely on the streaming site limits growth. If you utilise social media and other online apps and forums designed for networking, you can potentially find guys to connect with who will want to visit you on cam - thus improving engagement. Be super mindful of the above factors and make tweaks to your profile, presentation and processes where you can. Utilising social media and online networking forums can help boost growth and traffic. HOW TO POSITION YOURSELF STRONG TO BOOST ENAGEMENT Engagement is the very essence of live streaming. When potentially interactive viewers feel like they can't connect or feel attracted to a cam model, they don't stick around. If you're sitting on the fence, viewing both sides; you'll see how a slow chat room can be awkward for both models and members alike. Lack of chat and atmosphere often discourages potentially interactive room visitors from engaging. So, be on the ball, doing the right things to encourage them. Start with these basics: Greet members by username when they enter and welcoming them. Voice chat so they can hear your voice. This also helps create atmosphere. Be personable and forthcoming, asking questions to invite chat. If you're doing these things and they still do not engage, you could kick them from your room. Depending how you feel or your tolerance levels; if they drain or intimidate you, they need to go for the sake of your sanity. Here are some things to be mindful not to do if you're keen to get a good response from viewers: Don't ignore chat messages or respond late : This makes fans feel neglected, or like you're not paying attention. This will usually deter them from spending money. Instead: Respond promptly and personally, using their username so they know you're responding directly to them. Don't be monotone or distracted : Models who seem bored or busy with their phone rather than being present with their audience, will see viewers mirror this energy. Instead: Face them, make eye contact, and show that you're paying them attention. Be conscious how lack of effort translates : Viewers often need prompts to join in. So don't sit silent as this creates further awkwardness. Instead: Ask them questions, or for their thoughts; as this encourages them to respond. Avoid overly repetitive chat content : While a sales patter is great for encouraging viewers to spend, repeating the same thing comes across robotic and unappealing. Instead: Think of a broader variety of things you can talk about, this does not always have to be 'dirty' chat. The aim to captivating the monetising members and achieving long-term loyalty from them, is to connect on a personal level. Don't slip into complacent habits: Lack of creativity makes viewers bored and complacent, and turn their attention to rooms where they feel inspired and excited. Instead: Mix up your outfits, themes, shows, vibes, to keep them hungry and intrigued by what you'll do next! How about a cosplay? Try a different outfit or theme, such as a cosplay, to keep inspiring the viewers. LEVEL UP, ATTRACT BETTER TRAFFIC To attract better quality traffic and engaging, monetising fans. I suggest do these things: Max-up your presentation which includes your personal styling. Want to appeal to high end guys? Style yourself high end! Make an effort with your outfit, makeup, hair, body language, and anything else you can make more visually appealing. Update tip features, room titles and profile tags regularly, to reflect your themes and what’s happening in your shows. This will grab the attention of monetising members, who love to see variety. Stick to a schedule of the same weekly days and times. Interactive viewers are usually around at certain times of the day that best suit them. Allow them to become regular visitors and expect you online during their active hours. Make your setup and stream super pro! I'll explain more about this below.... THE IMPACT OF TECH SETUP AND STREAM QUALITY ON TRAFFIC AND ENGAGEMENT A cam model's tech setup and stream quality will directly impact traffic quality, engagement, along with home page placement. Deadbeat viewers seem quite happy to hang around in poor quality streams. Guys with funds are looking for a quality experience, so they will not. Your tech setup includes your internet connection along with the quality, functionality and positioning of your technical equipment, such as your laptop, webcam and microphone. It also includes lighting and audio, which affects the ambience and environment. Bad tech is a whole pain point in itself! Such issues lead to poor traffic, poor engagement, poor placement: Glitchy stream  due to low internet upload speeds, unstable connection, using a mobile phone to stream, or using computer equipment which is not powerful enough to stream. Poor lighting that makes the stream hard to see, causes too much shadowing or generally appears unflattering. Unclear audio due to low quality of faulty microphone, means viewers don't get a smooth and enjoyable audio experience. Bad camera angles  (framing) that don't flatter the model or cause her to be facing in the wrong direction so it's hard for viewers to connect, or head cut out of the camera view which removes the means for making captivating eye contact. Some suggestions to improve the tech setup and boost engagement: Make internet upgrades  such as asking your provider for faster upload internet speeds. Make equipment upgrades such as buying a good quality HD cam, a decent plug-in microphone, and a high powered laptop. Position the camera at eye level for a natural and alluring connection. This will encourage viewers to chat back far more than if you don't give them eye contact. Keep the background clear from clutter , and relevant to the show type, vibe or outfit theme. Use soft, even lighting to highlight and flatter, also cause minimal shadowing. Test out the audio and video quality before going live . You can do this by asking someone you trust, or asking someone in your cam site model support team to view your stream and check all appears good. HOW BODY LANGUAGE AND ENERGY IMPACT TRAFFIC AND ENGAGEMENT I touched on this earlier, but this is a key element of boosting engagement. Body language and energy send powerful signals to viewers. Negative body language , such as crossed arms, lack of eye contact, or slouching, can make the model seem unapproachable or disinterested. Poor energy, like speaking in a flat tone or showing little enthusiasm, can kill the vibe in the chat room. Viewers pick up on these cues quickly, and potentially interactive ones will leave the room. Positive body language , and high energy, on the other hand; invite participation and create a welcoming atmosphere. This helps encourage greater engagement. Quick tips to instantly improve body language and energy: Maintain an open posture and smile genuinely. Make eye contact with the camera to connect with viewers. Use varied facial expressions and gestures to show emotion. Keep your voice lively and modulate tone to match the mood. Take breaks if feeling tired to avoid draining energy on stream. I wrote a blog previously which drills into body language in more detail, so have a read up about this here . Positive body language and energy attracts better quality traffic on cam. EXTRA QUICK TIPS TO HELP IMPROVE TRAFFIC QUALITY AND BOOST ENGAGEMENT: Use chat commands or bot features in your chat room, to create interactive games or quizzes which invite audience participation. Offer shoutouts or small rewards for active participants. Keep proactively trying new things if your current format, performance style or show types do not seem to be working. And lastly, please don't lose heart. Try to stay focussed on tackling these pain points and building yourself up... ...There are endless possibilities and things to try as a cam model! Keep trying different things until you crack the code that works for you. Once you get your first few good monetising fans on board, you will find that you'll start to get better quality traffic and engagement overall. Eventually, it will start to snowball. The exciting thing about getting to this stage, is your placement will improve organically. It's a great feeling being on your way to becoming a regular fixture in those premium slots on the home page! So stay hungry! These are a broad scope of tips that may include the missing link for you, but there is no one size fits all in the cam world.

With my experience-based methods, you will be able to make sense of money issues, brainstorm how to break out of them, and set goals to overcome existing or predicted financial burdens that are holding you back. Think of this like your own personal business plan! The end game is to eliminate financial struggles and achieve prosperity as a webcam model! Eliminating financial struggles and building success as a cam model starts with planning. The Rich Pickings of the Webcam World Cam modeling is more than just being sexy for tips and tokens. It is a fruitful business that many savvy, goal-orientated women choose to build their entire livelihood upon. For a decade, I have done exactly that. This fast-growing industry offers so many diverse ways to monetize your creative talents. You can create content and learn a multitude of performance-based and chat-based skills that can be highly lucrative. For women who decide academic careers are not for them, and are more comfortable expressing their sexual side for money, the opportunities to earn life-changing money in adult camming are are limitless. While there may be thousands of cam models out there shaking their stuff already; there is always room for more! Don't be put off by this if you're considering this line of business as long-term career, or even just as a means to improve your financial situation in the short to medium term . By nature this is a high turnover industry, with hundreds of new members (including big spenders) as well as new models joining every week. Cam site members love variety and never get bored of meeting new cam models! Keep in mind that it's a journey and every day and week is different. You are guaranteed to meet an abundance of potential new fans (including good tippers), every time you log on to cam! If you are: Struggling with paying bills, Not earning enough in your existing job, Need to get out of debt, Finding yourself living as a single mother, Trying to save for a car/house, Needing to find your own financial independence so you're not reliant on a partner to survive, ...the rich pickings of the webcam world could very well be the answer to your prayers! A little on my background and journey into the industry... My original motive for starting cam modeling was having a baby and not wanting to go back to leaving the house for work. I was previously working as an exotic dancer in the glamorous West End of London, out of the house through the nights until 7am. The thought of going back to dancing was most daunting and depressing, given that I was breastfeeding, exhausted, generally wiped out as a new mum. The fund of cash I had built up in my bank account was being depleted and there was an urgent and pressing need to earn money. I realised my 15 years spent as an exotic dancer was now a sensational chapter of my former life and my needs and priorities had changed. No more late nights sipping Dom Perignon partying and shaking my titties at Premier League footballers, rock stars, rappers and TV media personalities! I was now to be a humble stay-home mum, pale and exhausted, breastfeeding every two hours, my heart full of love... What had not changed was the issue of still needing to make money on a continual basis. In fact, my need was greater than ever before! I thought long and hard about the idea of webcamming. With all my experience of teasing for tips on stages and one to one private dances, I felt sure would have the confidence to tease men for money on cam. After all, it couldn't be a lot different to chatting and flirting with them for money in the club. The difference with camming is that it is socially distanced over the internet, and would be a lot safer. Even better, I would not have to pay house fees whether or not I made money! I would be there for my baby and have no feelings of guilt about missing out on his precious early days, weeks, months and years. So... I signed up for a cam model account. My plan was to log on and work while my new adorable dependent napped. Two hours here and two hours there, this is how I started. Owing to spending a decade working in the webcam world, I enjoy a prosperous life free from financial struggles. Fast forward a decade and my life has evolved significantly, and it is so magnificently enriched! I still work on cam, and I still enjoy it. I log on during school hours and for longer sessions when my son stays with grandparents on sleepovers. Thanks to being a cam model, I live a comfortable, secure, flexible, free-spirited and prosperous life as a freelance working mother. This industry has helped me to reach many major life goals including buying a house, buying a brand new car, putting my son in the best private education, enjoying breath-taking travel experiences, investing money in starting a business, saving money and building a pension fund, never having to stress about covering bills, and so much more! I give myself a hearty old slap on the back in appreciation for my robust self-discipline and persistence in this industry over 10 years. What a journey. This industry can be your golden ticket to prosperity, t oo. I can't wait to explain how can build your own financial prosperity pipeline as a cam model! Let's make a start on YOU and what YOU need to do to get there... BE CLEAR OF YOUR OBJECTIVES First of all, have a think about your financial situation and what is is that's bothering you or making you feel you're lacking financially. What's the pain point(s)? This is the start of the planning process. You ' ll need to do a lot of thinking about this, to help bring clarity to the situation and start to make an action plan (it's fun to think of this as your own type of personal business plan). For example: Are you a mother and need to earn flexible income from home to support your family? Are you stressed trying to meet loan or credit cards payments? Do you need to earn more money each month to not only cover bills, but live a better life generally? Do you need to earn £XXX amount more a month to be able to afford to buy and run a car? Do you need to raise £25,000 as a deposit to move out of a current living situation that's not serving you well, and make a start on the property ladder? Do these things: Identify specific issue(s), and trust me when I say if you tackle it head on, you can easily improve your financial situation and become prosperous. Envision earning enough money to resolve those issues. This will get you into an excited and productive money-making state of mind. Strengthen this prosperity thought process by thinking about what achieving financial freedom means to you in the long term. What problems will it prevent later on, and how can you see your life changing for the better? Visualise the outcomes, in colourful pictures. The people, the places, the emotions, the celebration, and how empowered you'll be once prosperous! Document your thoughts as a creative flow to bring the vision to life. Some suggestions: Use a journal or planner to make notes as bullet points (simple way) Brainstorm your objectives and visions as a word cloud (simple way)) Make a funnel or pyramid chart putting things in order of priority (technical, structured) Sketch ideas for solutions and future prosperity dreams as pictures (dreamy) Write down motivational quotes that relate to your prosperity goals (powerful) Cut and stick pictures or craft things aligning with your visions in a scrapbook (dreamy) Use post-it notes and a pin board (simple and effective) Scrapbooking is a dreamy creative way to document objections, visions and goals which puts a positive spin and makes the process enjoyable Scrapbooking is something I've had fun with over the years, finding images in magazines that align with my visions, cutting and sticking and flicking through these often to keep me hungry for achieving my goals. It may sound geeky by I also enjoy making pyramid or funnel charts, with goals ordered in priority, key points relating to the goals, timescales and projections. That might sound a bit technical but it's a creative process that works for me. I also love brainstorming and doodling word clouds, adding motivational quotes, highlighting them in colour or adding oversized speech marks. Choose a method which suits you! Be imaginative and express your prosperity desires as this is an important part of the creative thought process which leads to prosperity. The physical and visual elements of documenting really work as they make things seem so tangible. These methods can also be added to as you go along, or you and try new methods to see which resonates best. Top Tip: Factor in some realistic timescales with a reward or celebration at the end. You could do this as numbered goals or as a hierarchy style chart, putting things in order of priority or as short, medium and long term goals. Creatively documenting objectives, visions and goals helps create a plan for financial prosperity! You'll find doing this highly motivating and also relaxing! I still creatively document regularly myself at times I need to plan out a financial goal that I intend to use my work to achieve. What I especially love about this... The creative process aways helps me to set the intention. I am able to figure out the workflow process more clearly. Putting timescales down in writing ensure I do not procrastinate or snooze on the idea. Take as long as you need to fulfil this exercise. Do it over hours, days or weeks, until you feel you have a strong vision for financial prosperity that makes you feel motivated and ready to take action. Top Tip: Refer back to your documented creative flow as a daily reminder of your mission to fulfil. This will help you keep going! SET FINANCIAL GOALS Having worked out what needs addressing and painting that vision for successful prosperity outcome(s), the next step is to set specific financial goals. These need to be realistic and they need to be achievable. If they're not, you'll be at risk of overwhelm and struggling to fulfil the financial prosperity outcomes that will change your life for the better. I find a good way is to break down bigger financial goals into chunks, target income figures quarterly for example. The income figures need to be specific to cover specific costs in your objectives, and you should add the figures to your journal notes/scrapbook. You could even pop them on a calendar or in a diary so you can relate them to specific date targets. This heightens the sense of self-discipline. Deadlines bring a sense of pressure - which is a productive state to be in. Add goals, income targets and target dates to a calendar for extra self-motivation! Specific income figures may be difficult to define at first, but you'll get used to it in time and eventually be able to plug figures out of thin air, the same way I do. To begin the process, I suggest you ask yourself questions that make you think clearly about specific amounts of money. For example: How much money do you need to earn as your target income per week, per month or per year, to help you reach your goals? What do you need as your bare minimum base income to cover all your overheads? (more about how to work this out in Step 7). What amount of money will solve financial issue(s) you need to resolve, and in what timescales? How much income do you want to see in that savings account you're about to open, one year from now? How about two, or five years from now? (I highly recommend opening a savings account even if you only have £50/$50 to put in to start with, as this helps to set the intention). What amount of surplus income do you need to have as disposable income each month, after paying taxes? These are all highly thought-provoking questions to help with the money target defining process. It is how you put financial value on short, medium and long term financial goals that are going to change your life for the better. BUILD A STRONG IDENTITY With objectives, vision and financial goals set... it's time to get to work and tap into that uncapped earning potential to become financially prosperous! It's yours for the taking - so what to do now? Build a strong identity! Your identity and niche will help grow your popularity and shape your success. Top Tip: It is very important to get to work on building your identity imminently, because establishing a strong identity will help you stand out amongst thousands of other cam models. Carve out your identity and niche on cam, to stand out from the rest! Having a strong identity attracts a dedicated fan base of members who will become your regular supporters and tippers. Be sure to: Carve out a niche and make it unique . Work on your skills and flaunt your most appealing traits. This is how you build a compelling cam model identity which will see you on a self-assured pathway to ever-increasing income. Top Tip: Use all available features to design shows that align with your niche. Set custom tips, sell content and encourage members to "buy into" your appeal with subscription-based services. Those income goals and targets you noted down in that journal... enjoy watching those being met each week, month and year! PUT THE WORK IN "The future and all prosperity belongs to the disciplined and persistent . .. so be disciplined and persistent!" Fact: We never reach our financial goals without taking positive action every week towards achieving them! It's not rocket science. I always harp on about the need for being persistent when cam models come to me complaining that it always feels slow in their cam room. Being flaky, doing one hour then logging of, being there one week and not the next, does not cut it in this industry. The thing that bridges your plan to your goal is self-discipline! This is a serious job and income source. If you wish to be one of the hustle Queens making the big pay-outs week on week on cam, you have to learn to be self-disciplined and persistent. Keep referring back to your journal of objectives, visions, goals and income targets daily to help you stay on track! To achieve a high level of success, I'm not even talking about grinding out 30+ hours a week full time on cam. I have never worked full time on cam. I've only ever been a part time cam model, working just 16 or 20 hours a week online. I've made those part time hours very lucrative by building a strong identity and persona. Appealing to a certain type of member and monetising them very well. Having personally enjoyed a number of years of earning 6-figures-a-year on cam as a part timer, I can vouch for the fact it's realistic and achievable. If I can, you can! 16 hours a week is a good schedule of hours to aim for, as you should not find this overwhelming or leading to burnout. You can choose a schedule that fits around any other job you have, or important duties like caring for your children if you have them. Top Tip: Publish your schedule of camming hours and be sure to stick to it. This is how you build mutual loyalty with fans. If you're consistent, they'll be consistent in return. Persistence, combined with discipline, is the driving force which solves those financial issues and smashes those prosperity goals! CONNECT WITH YOUR AUDIENCE A loyal fan base is key to for ongoing financial success in webcam modeling, so make them feel connected. Engage with them through interactive chat, social media, and personalized content. Do this ever week and you'll keep them "on your hook" and spending money regularly. Top Tip: Always respond to fan messages so they feel valued and their support is appreciated. This leads to increased tips and subscriptions. The more effort you make to build a stronger the connection with your audience, the more likely they are to reciprocate support you financially. Don't be shy to share some of your financial objectives with them, but never reveal anything too personal. For example, let them know you're keen to buy a car, or save for a deposit for a property, and you'll be surprised how supportive they are, rooting for you. Stay connected with your fans to keep them engaged and supporting you! You'd be surprised how many good guys on cam sites who want to see their favourite cam models success and achieve their dreams. I have met many in my time and they've made such a positive impact on my financial situation - in the bigger picture - improving prosperity for my family in the short, medium and long term. INVEST IN YOUR SKILLS Staying competitive and profitable in the the fast-paced world of webcam modeling industry means continually improving your skills. Top Tip: Consider investing time (and a little money if needed) in courses relating to performance, marketing, or content creation to enhance the quality of your content. Doing things such as taking an online class in video editing can improve the production value of your streams, making them higher quality and as such, more appealing to fans. The more polished your skills as a cam model - be these skills in self-promotion, online chat presentation, self-styling, media production or sexual performance skills - the better quality members you'll attract who will monetise your assets. Like always attracts like, so to make a lot of money you need to level up and appeal to the members who have a lot of money to spend! Invest in your skills as a cam model to become a pro and reach your financial goals! Top Tip: Tweak the documenting in your journal/scrapbook as you grow and evolve as a cam model. This is how to keep levelling up and opening up more opportunities to limitless income! MANAGE FINANCES WISELY This will probably seem like the boring part. But do not under-estimate its importance! To achieve financial freedom and maintain it, careful money management is essential. Track your earnings, be watchful of expenses and make provisions to save some money rather than spend everything you receive in each pay out. Budgeting is sensible, and this can be done in simple terms by using a journal or online spreadsheet in Excel for example. Note down all essential costs - such as rent, utility bills, any applicable taxes related to your accommodation, costs relating to running a car or any pets you have, an amount you need for the weekly food shop, etc. Aim to set aside at least 20% - of all weekly or monthly income for paying income taxes, and prioritise the allocation of funds you need towards your goals. Ringfence 10% of the remainder - for savings or a pension fund so you can start building up a nest egg for when you're older. See what you have left over - as surplus or "disposable" income. This is what to put by for enjoying life's luxuries such as holidays, nights out, lunches with the girls, and maintenance - hair, nails, makeup etc. Keeping track of these figures helps you to see exactly where you're at week on week or month on month. It also enables you to see where you need to be more diligent in terms of expenditure, and what you can afford to be more extravagant with once in a while. Keep on top of your finances so you stay on track. Sharp financial management and documentation of figures will help you stay on track to meet your goals. It is also a smart way to figure out how much extra money you need to earn to meet your goals quicker. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOU'LL BUILD PROSPERITY AS A CAM MODEL How to instil self-belief? Here's my way! I help myself to believe in myself with a daily pep talk! I talk to myself when getting ready to work on cam! I'll be putting on makeup or looking through outfits to choose what to wear, muttering to myself. "You can do it, girl!" "You got this, girl!" "Almost at target, keep going!" "Get the job done, you're killing it!" ...etc etc. Giving myself a talking to, and most of all during those tough times like slower weeks on cam or times when I feel tired, pre-menstrual or not really in the mood to cam, is what self-motivates me! A pep-talk to reassure myself I am a professional in this industry. A pep-talk to assert me to believe that no matter what, I will make money. So... I tell myself I am going to slay! I remind myself I am not going to be happy with myself if I fail to reach my goals. I think about what I'd miss out on, or have to sacrifice if I don't reach my goals. I instruct myself to take action today . I tell myself copping out is not an option . I highly recommend you do all of this too! It fires up the mental self-programming needed to stay focussed on your motives - which is to eliminate those financial struggles - and achieve financial prosperity. Achieving financial prosperity as a cam model is within reach! You just need a clear set of objectives, vision and goals, and to maintain a motivated, believing, disciplined mindset to keep taking action! I hope my guidance helps. I firmly believe that if you embrace this prosperity journey as I have done, you will reach your goals as I have done (and continue to do)! Your financial struggles will soon be something you'll look back on with a satisfied smile... It was all part of your journey! You'll reflect and feel grateful for the journey, which taught you to become more focussed and more powerful as a financially prosperous business woman on cam - because that's exactly what you are!

As the warm days of summer fade and the cooler, darker evenings draw in; many cam models face a daunting hurdle: getting back into consistency on webcam. It is perfectly natural... after relaxing and having fun with family and friends, to feel demotivated when faced with the prospect of switching on that stream again. Let me tell you, you are not alone! So many cam sisters have got out of their flow through July and August. I am here to offer my advice to help you re-spark your passion for the work you love, give your confidence a boost, and get back to killing it online! Reflect on Your Journey First, take a few moments to think about your journey as a cam model. What first attracted you to this line of work? Consider your proudest achievements on cam, and how you've grown as a cam model. Explore motivating thoughts such as: What was a particularly memorable stream where you truly connected with your audience and got record numbers of viewers? What was that new show type you tried, and made record earnings from? What was that style or niche you tried, that you completely make your own? What were your daily target earnings when you first started, and when did this figure increase? What was the biggest day or week you've ever had, earnings-wise on cam? Reminding yourself of the highlights in your cam career can help rekindle that initial excitement, and remind you of what you're capable of! I recommend you try writing down your best memories of camming down in a journal. Include things such as key milestones, highest daily or weekly earnings, usernames of your best tippers, and your most memorable and fun interactions. Make sure you note down what you love most about the work you do on cam. This could be things such as: The flexibility it brings. The stability it provides for your family. The sense of freedom you gain from being able to choose your hours. Being able take your holidays when you like. This nature of reflection will not only clarify your thoughts, it will also serve as powerful motivation which you can to revisit whenever you need a positive mindset boost. Journal about your highlights and wat you love most about webcamming. Set New Goals Setting fresh goals can be a strong motivating factor when returning to cam work. Whether your aim is to expand your audience, increase your weekly earnings, explore new themes or show types, improve your technical setup or content creating skills; having clear objectives provides a strong sense of direction. Break your goals into manageable steps. For example, if your goal is to give your technical setup an overhaul and uplift your stream quality, first research the options for high-definition cameras and lighting upgrade options. You might also explore options for your room backdrop that enhance viewer experience. Celebrate all victories and progresses along the way! Even a subtle, inexpensive upgrade to your setup can make you feel more comfortable on cam and fire up the motivation to get back to streaming. Reconnect with Your Fans Connect with your fans as this will help reignite your passion for webcamming! Make an effort to engage with them through social media and let them know you're excited to see them back in your hat room. Create some new content, share summer stories and plan a fun theme! Make some noise about your eagerness to get back on cam and you'll get your fans buzzed to see you, too! Your fans are your community. So building a strong sense of adhesiveness with them not only enhances your personal motivation, it also encourages greater support from them. This will makes your return to cam more enjoyable and rewarding. Reconnect with your fans on social media to help reignite your passion for webcamming! Reignite your Passion for Webcam As you ease back into camming after your summer break, remember that a bit of effort and creativity along with a positive, receptive mindset is all it takes! By reflecting on your journey, setting fresh goals and reaching out to your fans, you'll be well on your way to reigniting your motivation for cam modeling. I think September is such an empowering month: back to work, back to school for the kids (which means it's far easier to refocus on work if, like me, you're a mum)!

Touch with us via our management office and let's chat: LVE Models.

In the cut-throat world of camming, having an awesome attitude and mastering the "Good Vibes Only" energy and mindset is more important than ever for winning fans and boosting stats. A positive, healthy attitude not only makes all the difference in achieving personal and professional goals, it helps cam models glow-up and be alluring in every sense! As such, the phrase "Good Vibes Only!" should be a mantra in this industry! Having seen first-hand the benefits of omitting good energy on cam, and witnessing how like attracts like energy; this is a valuable topic for discussion... Attitude Determines Altitude Having worked with a lot of cam models who operate in different styles, I have seen the ones with the most positive and personable outlook carving out their success the most effectively. This has led me to strongly believe in the direct connection between attitude and altitude - aka success. A positive and awesome attitude is not just about feeling good and coming across as an individual everybody wants to know and be around. The attitude one displays influences an individual's performance along with making or breaking interactions such as networking stills. When you approach interactions with an awesome attitude, you are most likely to be in a creative, constructive mental state and to receive a positive reception from others. This is because, a positive awesome attitude forms the energy and vibes you omit, and these create a ripple effect. When you radiate this nature of good energy, it lifts the energy of those around you and makes them feel great, too. Being the one who makes others feel great, encourages a supportive and collaborative atmosphere with fans and cam model peers alike, in the industry. It's the way energy works! The by products of this are a greater demand for your services as a cam model, which means more fans, more support, increased revenue and opportunities presenting. People are simply more keen to deal with you! Good Vibes Only Practices To radiate the good vibes, you need to be doing "Good Vibes Only" mindset practices daily! I recommend incorporating the following practices into your routine: Practice Gratitude : Spend five minutes each day, reflecting on things you are grateful for. You can write these down in a journal or contemplate them as you go about your morning or bedtime routine. Daily gratitude practices significantly increase the overall sense of happiness and well-being. Try and think about ten things you're grateful for, in five minutes! See how awesome this makes you feel! Surround Yourself with Positivity : Positivity is infectious! So make a conscious effort to connect and spend time with people who uplift you with their own positive attitude and good vibes. Listen to positive mindset podcasts and partake in activities you love daily. Doing things that make you feel good and promote a sense of personal accomplishment are great mood boosters. This helps form an awesome attitude through other things you do - including camming. Mindfulness and Meditation : Set aside time each day to meditate or practice mindfulness. I recommend at last 30 minutes per day. This is very important as mindfulness and mediation help to relax the body and mind, lowering stress levels and improving focus. Doing these things give way to a healthy outlook and attitude, meaning when challenges present themselves, it is easier to respond to situations in a positive and rational manner. Limit Negative Influences : Be mindful of the media you consume, the company you keep and the conversations you engage in. Reducing exposure to negativity and bad vibes will massively help you to maintain a healthy mindset and the best possible attitude. The ultimate aim here is to improve mental health outcomes and not be easily "rattled." This translates to a calm and upbeat approach when you log on to work on cam. Embracing tranquility and mindfulness, she finds her good vibes! Manage the Good Vibes Only Mantra On Cam In short, adopting a "Good Vibes Only!" mindset will skyrocket your success journey in this industry! Your positive attitude will see you become a more popular cam model, and also inspire those around you. For those who do not match your good vibes energy, such as those making demands, being rude, creepy or trolling, it is totally fine (and recommended) to remove them from your presence with a kick or ban from your chat room. Removing any sources of the wrong kind of vibes is the ultimate form of self love and self care! I firmly believe (and from personal experience) - this is how you find inner peace within this nature of online business, which can be a challenging industry at the best of times. Eliminating the bad vibes is a necessity for happiness and prosperity working in this industry. You'll benefit from increased self-esteem, heightened creativity and and a greater sense of self-motivation. Set The Standard The "Good Vibes Only" mantra is yours to own, so set it as a standard and level of expectation in your chat room. Take a proactive approach to managing the attitude and vibes of others who enter your virtual space. See how controlling the energy in your chat room by kicking or banning the negative elements, helps to maintain your own awesome attitude and good vibes on cam! If at any point you feel your energy starting to slump on cam, and notice your vibe being affected, that's the time to log of and take some time out. I recommend engage in the restorative "Good Vibes Only" practices, get a good sleep and come back online with a sense of renewed energy and positive outlook the next day. Reminder... Always be mindful of how you feel and the energy you omit so you can manage this to attract the best possible outcomes. By doing so, the sky's the limit in this industry!

As a performer on an adult webcam site, body language plays a significant role in how you establish yourself as a professional. Mastering sexy and alluring body language will encourage positive viewer perceptions of you, which determines how they engage with you. Whether you're a seasoned cam model or new to the industry, perfecting the elements of body language will strengthen connections with new and existing fans. So, work on your awareness of these elements and you'll be on the right track to success. The Power of Posture Your posture tells a lot about you, before you even say a word to your audience. To create a positive first impression, I recommend sitting up straight and centred in the camera view. Keep your back straight and shoulders back as this creates an air of confidence. Many viewers will be captivated by this enticing allure. A seated, purposeful posture demonstrates power and attentiveness! It also encourages an open vibe in your chat room. TOP TIP: Lean slightly towards the camera as this signals a readiness and receptiveness to play! I recommend you don't do this: Lay down. This is because laying down can appear lazy. Worse still, "slouching" suggests lack of enthusiasm and/or low energy levels, which many viewers (certainly the ones that have money to spend) will find this a turn off. You will find that viewers will match your energy on cam sites. My experience tells me that this is almost always the case. For example, you would make less money / get slower engagement in a position that makes you appear too relaxed - versus choosing a position where you're upright, alert and all set be a badass. Eye Contact: The Ultimate Connection There's a saying that the eyes are the window to the soul. In cam modeling, that could not be more true. Maintaining eye contact with viewers can help build a strong connection. By return, they'll want to get stuck into your performance and find it hard to leave! TOP TIP: Try to hold that sexy eye contact with the cam to encourage the audience on the receiving end to chat, tip or go private with you. With this in mind I recommend positioning the webcam directly above your laptop. This will enable you to quickly cast your eyes between the webcam and the chat on your screen. You don't want to be looking in another direction to read and respond to chat, Nor do you want to turn your head to look into the cam. This is because from a viewer perspective; it makes the show look awkward and it's tricky to build a connection with the model. Gestures Speak Volumes Gestures are an excellent way to express yourself and emphasise chat. Adding this element of visual enticement will help maintain the attention of fans during your show. TOP TIP: Use hand movements like stroking, rubbing, tickling and "talking with hands." These are simple adjustments to make which will add so much vibrance to your show. Gestures bring the performance to life and will make the overall presentation of your cam more interesting to watch. Be mindful to find a natural, balanced rhythm with gestures though. Too many or repetition of the same ones can be distracting and become bugging to the viewers. On the other hand, too few may set the impression you're low in energy. Where viewers feel there is a lack of enthusiasm, they're not so easily drawn in by that cam model. The Allure of Smiling Smiling dramatically alters the atmosphere of your performance. A genuine smile will see you appear more approachable and friendly, which invites viewers to stay and interact. A smile lets your audience know you're happy to be online and seeing them, which encourages them to match your positive energy. Don't do this.... appear moody or stand-offish. A lack of smile creates a cold and unwelcoming vibe. This omits a negative energy which, from what I've seen; repels the majority viewers. TOP TIP: Not all smiles are created equal! Practice creating different smiles for different vibes, including those that convey friendliness, playfulness, flirtation, seductiveness and intrigue. Combine smiles with subtle flirty gestures like twiddling the hair or stroking your neck and you're onto a winner! Create a Calming Space The state of the working environment can subconsciously influence body language. A clutter-free and organized backdrop will make you feel more at ease versus one which full of too much stuff and disorganised. A calm, tidy camming space will improve your sense of workflow and allow your natural charisma to shine! TOP TIP: Set up your dedicated webcamming space in a fashion which reflects your on-cam persona. A tailor-made environment suited to your style will enhance your sense of comfort, promote positive body language naturally and enable you to express yourself better. Mastering Body Language takes Practice Like any skill, mastering body language takes time and effort to perfect. Something I did in my early days of camming was to record myself performing. I would then play it back with a critical eye, to see how I could tweak and improve. I studied things like my posture, expressions and adjusted physical elements of my room including the layout - even down to where I positioned my microphone, toys, even the water bottle. I recommend doing the same as this exercise provides insights into your body language habits that you may not realise you even had. It also helps identify any awkward things about your chatroom design which may subconsciously be affecting your body language. Becoming mindful about these going forward will not only be enlightening, but also empowering! TOP TIP: Experiment with various body and movements, gestures and facial expressions to see what resonates with you as a performer. Monitor how your audience respond in terms of how they chat or monetise your actions. Becoming a competent performer on cam who cracks the code of body language takes time, trial and error. By mastering body language, you'll develop your unique style with powerful unspoken habits that see you to connect authentically with fans. Eventually these habits become your trademark. The eyes have it! Enticing eye contact into your webcam will help viewers to connect with you! TOP TIP: If ever in doubt, put yourself in your viewers' shoes. Think about what would attract you to a cam model in terms of how she sits, how she smiles and makes eye contact, how she carries herself with her body language. What would you be attracted to?

As a webcam model you be one of thousands of performers vying for attention from the type of viewers who will monetise your time. Making sure your cam model page is correctly set with relevant profile tags will help you stand out in the crowd. Using tags effectively can drive more traffic and help you connect with an audience that truly appreciates what you have to offer. Allow me to explain how you can implement effective profile tags in a way that feels genuine and attracts more fans. Understand Profile Tags Tags are keywords or phrases that describe your content, style, and persona. They act as signposts, helping viewers find you amongst many other profiles. By categorizing yourself accurately, you increase your chances of being discovered by potential fans who are searching for specific content that you might be able to offer them. For example, a blonde, petite model who is into fitness might use tags like #Blonde, #Petite, #Athletic or #FitnessModel. These tags not only enhance her discoverability, but also attract potential fans who are interested in her nature of looks and content. This in turn leads to higher viewer stats, more followers and increased engagement during shows. Know Your Audience Before diving into tag selection, it is important to understand who your target audience is and do your research on how they interact with similar models. Consider: What type of shows do they enjoy? What type of content will they be prepared to pay for? How do you want them to interact with you? Creating a clear picture of your ideal fans will significantly aid in selecting suitable profile tags. TOP TIP: Study popular tags used by cam models with similar looks or performance styles to you. Observe how their audiences respond to them. For instance, if your look would fall in the voluptuous category and your style is GFE (girlfriend experience) type, look for existing models on your site under tags such as #Curvy, #Booty and #GFE. By observing these profiles and shows you'll see the type of fans who will likely be drawn to you. You will also get an idea of their preferences and how they interact. This nature of research will help you tailor tags that will resonate with your ideal fans. Brainstorm Relevant Tags With a grasp on who your audience is, it's time to think broadly about tag options. Explore aspects like your personality, unique features and niches you cater to. Check out the complete catalogue of tags on your cam site to get lots of ideas and make a list of possible tags relevant to you. These need to accurately represent your character and content. For example, if you're into gaming shows, think of tags like #GamerGirl or #LiveStreaming. Also think about descriptive traits like #Interactive, #Nerdy or #Funny. Once you have a list, shortlist 10 or so that you feel will present you in the best possible way to the type of fans you will attract. Check Out SEO Keywords Whilst looking into which profile tags to set, you should also think about relevant SEO keywords. Keywords will help to increase your profile's visibility. Have a look for any trending ones that connect with your content style. For instance, if your shows regularly feature themes like cosplay or specific trending genres that you see mentioned on social media sites, integrate these topics into your tags. Tag like #Cosplay and #Ahegao can boost your visibility significantly in searches related to those niches. TOP TIP: Be careful though to avoid keyword "stuffing." Your tags must remain relevant to your content to maintain authenticity. Using too many generic tags can blur your unique identity. Diversify Your Tags Using a carefully selected mix of tags can help you attract a broad audience. While it's essential to have a core set of specific tags relevant to your niche, don't shy away from general tags. Just be selective which ones you choose. Combining niche tags, personality tags and generic ones can expand your reach without compromising your identity. For example, you might combine persona-focussed tags like #Cute or #Intellectual with niche-specific ones like #Fetish, #MILF or #Pornstar. Add to that a sprinkling of generic ones like #Blowjob, #Cum or #Squirt and you have a strategy that ensures you connect with a wider audience - whilst highlighting your authentic style. Add some niche-specific tags that reflect your cam model style, such as #BDSM or #Fetish. Update Your Tags The webcam world is fast-paced and what is popular today can quickly become outdated. To stay relevant, it is a good idea to periodically review and refresh your tags. TOP TIP: Monitor industry trends and shifts in viewer interests so you can make adjustments in order to stay current and popular. As an example, if you notice that cosplay shows or shows with a new type of interactive toy are becoming increasingly popular, increase your skillset with new offerings that are in high demand, and update your tags accordingly. This practice demonstrates your attention to evolving industry trends and care for the needs of your viewers. As a result, you benefit from increased engagement and higher credibility as a cam model. Avoid Exhaustion of Tags While tags are essential for reach, swamping your profile with them can backfire. A clear and concise list of tags usually proves more effective than an exhaustive one. Focus on selecting 8-12 tags that capture your essence. Doing this demonstrates a thoughtful approach to your identity and helps match you to your ideal fans. The bottom line is, if you take the time to craft and refine your profile tags; this will absolutely be worth the effort. With a careful tagging strategy in place, you'll be well on your way to making your impact in the webcam industry! Have you nailed your cam model style?

Starting out as a new cam model hosting your own chat room can be exciting yet challenging. The competition is fierce on the major streaming sites. There are thousands of performers live, every minute of every day. All of the top earning models are resilient, consistent and hustling hard. To get a look in with the the site's OG tippers; even to gain enough of the smaller tippers; you need to be very focussed on your game and prepared to put the work in. Unless you're happy to get swallowed up in the algorithms and find your room deader than a ghost town, you will need to create yourself as a stand-out model in order to gain traction. Having helped many cam models push through the tough early stages of camming, I have established the key elements that help them build momentum. Here are my Top 5 Tips on how to gain traction in your chat room. Create an Inviting Atmosphere First impressions count! This starts with smiling and being personable! You must create a welcoming atmosphere for viewers where they feel at ease. Chat and greet them, invite them to stay and play. Creating your atmosphere also includes paying attention to the noticeable physical elements of your chat room including your lighting, audio, background, outfit and your personal styling. The lighting needs to be good quality and flattering. I have another blog which drills into lighting in more detail, so have a read of this one once you've finished reading this one.... here. The audio must be clear and free from unwanted background noise. You can create an inviting ambience with background music that suits your vibe, providing does not drown out your voice when you chat. To understand why audio matters, have a read here once you've finished reading this blog. In terms of your background; an uncluttered, appealing room draws the viewers' focus to you whilst setting the right mood for sexy interactions. An attractive room with splashes of colour or eye-catching decor, will help present your room as a professional-looking chat room. When getting yourself ready to go live, be aware that your choice of outfit is very important. Wear something that makes you feel confident, sexy, that is also comfortable. Being comfortable in what you wear will enhance your performance massively. You will attract a specific type of viewer based on how you present yourself. So style yourself to appeal to the type of fans you want in your chat room. For guidance on what to wear on cam based on your target audience, have a read of this article once you've finished reading this one... here. Interact with Your Audience Engagement is the most powerful tool for attracting and retaining viewers in your chat room. Actively connect with your audience during streams by paying attention to what they are posting on your chat and responding to their messages. Being responsive is how to encourage further participation. Not only that, it will enable you to convert casual viewers into loyal fans that return time and time again. Take an interest in your viewers, for example, ask non- sexual questions like what are their favourite hobbies; or where they love to go on their holidays. You could try running mini-polls on what topics they'd like to discuss, or host some fun Q and A sessions. If you want to take the chat more sexual, ask what they're into, or if they'd like to private message you or tip comment you to share their fantasies. This strategy is often a good hook to convert these nature of interactions into private shows! Promote Your Chat Room Getting the word out can be the key to attracting new viewers. Utilize any cam-related social media you have as well as online forums or relevant communities where your target audience gathers. Share your chat room's URL and highlight what makes your sessions so special. Teaser photos and clips work well, to peak the intrigue of existing ans potential new fans who will visit you on cam. Collaborating with other cam models can also help expand reach significantly. By using all available tools to host collaborative sessions, or cross-promoting each other's rooms, you can tap into each other's follower base. If you have another model you have a great rapport with, why not offer some sensational duo shows or duo content that keeps your mutual fans chomping at the bit! Create Unique Content Standing out on a cam site home page amidst thousands of others comes down to originality and making your chat room eye-catching. Have a think about what sets you apart and highlight those traits during your sessions. Add some attention-grabbing info to your chat room topic as this is what viewers see - along with your room preview or profile photo - on the home page. Attention-grabbing info always makes viewers click and join, so make your topics enticing! Do you have a special talent? Or a unique style of storytelling that intrigues viewers? Do you have a striking look or physical attribute that could make a show-stopping feature to maximise on cam? Are you amazing at cosplaying? Brainstorm all of these things and try to keep thinking of fresh ideas every couple of weeks, as this is how to keep sparking the interest of your fans over and over. I recommend planning some exclusive themed shows that showcase your specific talents, interests or unique features. Create fun themed shows that bring attention to your unique talents, interests and skills! Set Up a Consistent Schedule A regular streaming schedule will help you build your following much quicker than random sign-ins. When fans know when to tune in to see you on cam, they are more likely to be consistent with you in return. Setting a schedule such as "Live on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 7 PM to midnight!" - establishes consistency and your audience know when to expect you. Shout out your schedule on your socials and hype up the countdowns for your upcoming streams! Teasing reminder photos or short video clips through social media or messaging apps will keep your fans updated (and excited with the anticipation of seeing you)! Final Words of Wisdom on Gaining Traction... The models who make it in this industry are the ones who put in the greatest effort to gain traction. This is a fact! They are proactive and they adopt all available strategies in order to attract and retain the monetising fans in their chat rooms. Connect: From personal experience, when building my presence as a cam model I always took the view that if I made the effort to make each user who said hi a loyal supporter; there was a good chance they would be. Some get on board with and some don't. Never take it personally when they don't as there are many casual viewers on cam sites that never commit to spending or just flit from room to room without ever chatting. Remember: The viewers who are meant for you will stay with you. Keep nurturing them and they will become your diehard supporters. If you show appreciation towards them every time they visit, they will make your time on cam rewarding and most likely help you out during the slower times. Grow: If you take the stance that every stream is a chance to learn and improve, you will be continually growing even if it feels slow on cam. Sure, it can feel like a tough old slog in the early days. But if you stay focussed and motivated, it is a beautiful view once you get to the top! Keep refining your approach as a cam model, upgrading everything as you go. Take all the guidance you can, maintain an amazing attitude of professionalism. Do all of these things and you will see your chat room gaining traction (and pumping) in no time!

Cam modeling can be an exciting career; potentially bringing life-changing income combined with total working flexibility. The industry can also bring tough challenges like slow viewer engagement, which can be seriously tedious. Unpleasant users and annoying lurkers make for unwelcome viewers. The type who drain alle energy, motivation and sanity from the performers who's chat rooms they often try to persist in. How do we deal with these difficult, soul-destroying times and stay on track to achieve success on cam? The answer lies in resilience. Allow me to share my proven strategies, to guide you through the arduous times and help you thrive! Resilience Explained Let’s clarify what 'resilience' means in this context. Simply put, resilience is your ability to handle physically, mentally or emotionally taxing moments and bounce back from setbacks. For cam models, it’s not only about getting through the deflating sessions. Resilience means learning from the experiences, to understand how to tackle any similar scenarios in the future and not be deterred from continuing doing the work you love. Building resilience empowers the individual to maintain a positive outlook and strengthen their sense of self-worth - essential character upgrades in the adult entertainment industry. The Performer Mindset The first step towards gaining resilience is to get into the mindset of being a performer. When in front of a camera, it is not just about showing off the physical assets. It is about creating a show - an engaging, enticing one. The type of appearance that encourages viewers to participate and make your time on cam both fun and financially rewarding. Focus On Artistry A successful, resilient cam model does not just focus on how much they might earn in tips and private shows. A successful, resilient cam model will concentrate on the 'artistry' of her performance. This happens when each session is viewed as a chance to express creativity; to captivate fans and keep them coming back for more. Investing time and effort into brainstorming and designing live shows can really uplift the confidence for any cam model. An increase in confidence brings forth an increase in resilience. This beautiful happening is due to the natural boost self-esteem and self-belief - these are key elements of your confidence! Reconnect Your Passion Take some time to remember what got you interested in cam modeling in the first place. What was it that attracted you to the industry? Remind yourself of your motives for camming and why you're still here in the industry. Reflect on your unique skills, recall the excitement of early shows when it was all fresh, and the buzz of building connections in the early days. Spend some time journaling about your motives along with what you have enjoyed the most during your camming journey so far. Embracing these memories sets the intention to reignite the passion for camming. Focussing on your passion for the work, increases motivation which helps bump up the resilience during challenging times. Strategies for Overcoming Slow Traffic Experiencing persistent slow traffic, low room stats or lack of member engagement can be extremely disheartening, draining and demoralising. I totally understand why these things would diminish desire in any cam model to log on and work. I've witnessed cam models drop away from the industry due to these problems happening on a persistent basis. I too have experienced the slow traffic sessions and had to stay extremely focussed to slog them out (with coffee and cookies and my favourite music playlists)! How you respond to these situations will shape your resilience. Try these things... Use Downtime Productively When if feels like there's nothing going on, this is a good time to power up your persona or improve elements of your chat room, setup or shows. Things like improving the technical setup, such as lighting or other equipment, can provide a boost. Getting a fresh new look, such as a change of hair colour or style; trying a different personal dress style or planning a new themed show are all super ways to bring renewed energy. Taking such productive steps is a great form of personal development as a cam model. Such positive actions provides a constructive focus during the tiresome periods, and help bring about the self-motivation (and the resilience) to keep going. Networking and Community Connecting with fellow cam models and chatting with fans can help ease the feelings of isolation that often come during times of hardship. Make use of social media networking or chat groups for cam models as this usually brings fresh perspectives and a useful source of advice. Sharing experiences with like-minded models can often mean the difference between giving up hope; and feeling supported by individuals who are rooting for your success. This all helps carve out a resilient cam model. Never be embarrassed to admit you're finding it slow on cam. We've all been there. The top models you see now earning the payouts you dream of have also had to grind out painfully slow sessions. The reason they're the top models now, is because the tough times have shaped their resilience and they have not given up. Fans can also be really helpful during slow times. Make sure they're aware when you're hopping online so they can come and support you. I've had some amazing fans come into my chat room and tip to get things going, after receiving a message from me to say I'm sinking a little and could use a boost to get my room pumping. There are many amazing supportive guys like this on cam sites, so when you find one or two of this type, treasure them as they help you be more resilient and ultimately, more successful! Handling Difficult Ones Dealing with difficult users, including 'trolls,' unfortunately comes with the territory of being a cam model. Through my years of working on webcam sites I've dealt with countless members who have been unreasonable, unrealistic, demanding, rude, dishonourable, scamming, you name it! Some have even crawled out of the woodwork multiple times, in an attempt to continue to unnerve me. The plus side is; each time I've been subjected to a negative interaction; I've learnt a valuable lesson, grown a thicker skin and become more resilient. As as result, I look back on all of these experiences and feel grateful for them. I liken it to dealing with crappy behaviour in relationships and emerging the bigger person. These moments only forced me to become stronger, wiser, more intuitive, less naive and all-round better at handling toxic junk. Here are some ways I recommend you handle any hostile interactions... Establish Clear Boundaries Set boundaries to make your member behaviour expectations clear right from the start. If a member crosses the line by displaying any negative behaviour, including demands that make you feel degraded or uncomfortable; you must redirect the conversation elsewhere or better still, block them. Models who communicate their boundaries effectively find they maintain a safer and far more enjoyable working environment than those who don't make their expectations clear. Don’t Take It Personally It is natural to feel hurt or angry due to nasty comments. Females are emotional beings, and we tend to dwell on things. Always try to reaffirm the fact that horrid users on cam sites are usually reflecting their own troubles. In other words, it is not you that's the problem, it is them. I have dealt with users who are heavily into alcohol or drugs, and others who very clearly have mental health issues. All types of people with all types of complexities circulate on cam sites. This is why cam models should try to always be their on guard to detect any behaviour that appears irrational or abnormal. Maintaining a sense of self-worth when difficult users surface is essential. Negative interactions can be emotionally crippling if they are not handled carefully. It can be hard not to take things personally, especially if someone is on the attack or making personal remarks. Try to ignore these and remind yourself you are not the problem, they are. Stay resilient and show yourself some love by incorporating daily affirmations about how beautiful, smart, creative and badass you are! Why not also try journaling about your achievements in the world of cam modelling, and write down each day your wins and what you're grateful for. These simple practices do wonders for the self-esteem! Reinforcing your personal value is key to staying centred and rising above, during times of cruel or criticising treatment. Support System A solid support network can make a significant difference to a cam model's resilience. This network can be made up of fellow adult industry creatives, trusted family or friends who understand what you do and will offer a non judgemental, listening ear. Online Communities Participate in online communities designed for webcam models. Blogs, forums and social networking platforms like Reddit and Discord offer valuable cam girl community chat. You will find empathetic, understanding ears from other cam models who, as a collective; dealt with countless numbers of difficult users. Supportive networks help cam models feel they're not alone which in turn, helps them build resilience knowing there is always someone to talk to if they’re feeling troubled. We at LVE Models have our own community where we draw our cam models together to interact with each other via a WhatsApp chat group. It's become a natural sisterhood and many of our models have found this comforting, especially when the going gets tough. Work/Life Balance While maintaining the consistency of the online presence is essential to success, never neglect those real-world relationships. Taking breaks from the camming environment to connect with friends and family can recharge the spirit and improve wellbeing in all aspects. Even simple outings like going for a walk or having coffee with a friend are real mood energisers. Feeling refreshed and prepared the return to cam powers up that all-important resilience. It helps prime the mind for a positive and profitable session when you next log on. Self-Care for Resilience Make self-care a priority and you'll sustain resilience over time! Choose activities that boost energy and mental well-being. Some of my favourites are walking in woodlands or on the beach, doing Pilates or yoga, listening to a spiritually uplifting podcast, dancing to my favourite music, meditating or curling up to read a good book. Taking time for mindfulness activities such as yoga or meditation is essential building resilience. Relaxation and Mindfulness Relaxation and mindfulness practices such as deep breathing, yoga or meditation are proven to significantly calm the mind and help promote positivity. Even just a few minutes dedicated to relaxation and grounding each day can not only put you in a better vibe, it's a sweet little resilience booster. I do either meditation or breathwork daily, as well as yoga daily (minimum 10 minutes a day). These practices are honestly essential for me to thrive in this industry. I recommend you try them too! Regular Check-ins Part of effective mindfulness practice is setting aside time for regular self-assessments to gauge your own emotional state. Think about how you feel and anything that's bothering you, to identify triggers for stress, anxiety or anything else that could form a barrier to resilience. Listen to your body, your heart, your gut, and your mind. They tell you everything you need to know about your wellbeing. Identify and address your own internal insights. This can guide you to adjusting habits, routines or strategies to help create a better balanced work/personal life. An unbalanced work/personal life is often unhealthy, and this creates inconsistencies in resilience amongst a whole host of other discordances. Build Resilience Moving Forward Building resilience as a cam model is not just about surviving the tough times. It is about learning and growing through them. With a positive attitude and coping strategies, it is possible to turn even the toughest days into valuable lessons on the path to success. Keep shining and moving forward with your new found resilience, because your unique style and artistry are needed in the world of camming! Your path to success is lighting up more and more every day, due to your continued commitment to your journey! Need some help with managing lurkers in your chat room? Read here !
