Protecting Your Identity and Safety As a Webcam Model

January 28th, 2012

Working as a webcam model, either as a newbie or an experienced webcam model, there should be two main concerns. Firstly which site will give you the best earnings and secondly which webcam sites protect your identity and are concerned for your safety in general.

The vast majority of webcam models that have contacted me are almost always concerned about protecting their privacy. Some models are not worried about their pictures and private shows being posted in various places on the internet, as this will only help them to become more popular and well known, but for other webcam models this is a serious concern and a form of publicity that is NOT welcome.

In this article I would like to highlight the most trustworthy sites, which can 99.9 % guarantee protecting your privacy and identity (it would be an exaggeration to say any site can protect your identity and privacy 100%)

Which Website Should I Choose?

If the website DOES NOT ask for copies of either your passport, driving licence or other government issued ID, then DO NOT work for them at all. This ID is used to verify that webcam models are not underage (under 18) and is used for your own protection. Furthermore this information is NEVER given out to any third parties and is 100% safe.
Does the website have a “U.S.C2257 statement”, “Privacy Policy” and a “Contact Us” easily accessible on their website? If any of these are not present then alarm bells should start ringing, “Can I really trust this company when it comes to protecting my identity and privacy?” The major websites such as iFriends, LiveJasmin and Streamate all have the above.

Protecting Your Identity & Privacy

Nowadays most leading webcam sites offer the option to block all viewers from your state or even your country. This is usually a very reassuring measure working as a webcam models. Two recommended sites who take this one step further are Livejasmin and Streamate as they will give you multi options when it comes to blocking guests, members in your state or country and really take protecting your identity seriously. If in doubt contact the site directly for further reassurances.

When you are working never give out your personal information, this seems pretty obvious but you would be surprised how many models forget to adhere to this simple rule. This includes your address, even your city, your real name, email address etc. It would be a very sensible idea to create a “fake persona” with fake contact details and name with which you can freely give to your customers.

In the end it’s up to you to accept the risks involved in working as a webcam model. This work may be well paid, easy to do but your privacy can never be 100% guaranteed. Just make sure you weigh up the risks, choose your webcam site(s) wisely and you should be fine. I have never heard in my ten years experience of working in the webcam industry in one way or another of a cam model ever having been “found out” by friends or family or their identity being compromised either!

Customer Fetishes – My Customer asked me to pee on cam! What Should I do??

December 24th, 2011

During the last month I have received several emails from models all asking the above question. They have all had requests in one form or another for customers asking them to pee in their private shows. So what would my advice be in this “sticky” (excuse the pun) situation!?

I’m sure your initial reaction to this request, will be shock and disgust. A completely natural reaction of course. BUT you should try and turn this situation around and use it to your advantage. Don’t just write off those customers who have strange requests, of varying degrees. Some will have foot fetishes, others will prefer to role play and some will prefer to see you do a number one and two (believe it or not!) on cam. So what should you do with these more kinky types of customers?

First of all you have to learn what you are comfortable with. Can you push your barriers? Of course some webcam websites will not allow you to pee on cam even if you wanted to! However if the website does allow you to pee, and you feel comfortable doing it, then why not? Just be warned though, they will usually ask you to drink it afterwards, so having a cup of apple juice in exactly the same cup as you pee’ed in can be a very useful little trick! If a customer wants to have a 30minute private show with you, when all you are doing is touching your feet and showing them close up on cam then what’s the harm!? In fact sometimes dealing with fetish customers is easier than the mainstream “sex” viewing type customers. In my and my model’s experience fetish customers are very loyal to models who cater for their tastes and they spend a lot of money on the few models who cater to their tastes!

Do your research! Find out what your regular and potential customers like and want. This can be as simple as a Google search or just sending a message out to your regular customers. What kind of fetishes are there? Well as mentioned before there are the guys who like to see you urinate and the odd few who want to see you shit. There are others who have hand and feet fetishes, i.e. they want to see your hands and feet close up to the cam and love to see you sucking them too. Then there are the guys who just love to role play, various roles. Some are into domination or opposingly humiliation. Do your research and try and find out what your customers like and you will definitely see a sharp increase in your private show sales!

Do any other models have any experiences of fetish customers? Please feel free to share them with us below!

Have a great Christmas guys,

What Are The Best Sex Toys for Webcam Models? By Cam Model Appleseeds

December 18th, 2011

Hi there, my name is Appleseeds and I work for Live Jasmin at the moment. I’m currently number one in their “69 team awards” and have found using toys has helped me a lot to achieve this position. I have been working as a webcam model for three years now and I would like to share with you my knowledge and experience about the best toys you can use as a cam model. Of course some models prefer not to use any toys at all, but I cannot recommend highly enough about the use of toys in your shows.

 

1. Firstly let’s take a look at the latest toys to be released onto the market. You may have heard of the “Rampant Rabbit” a two pronged toy that can be used in three different vibrating speeds as well as a variety of sizes to suit all tastes.  These are very realistic looking vibrators and both you and your customers will enjoy the additional atmosphere it brings to your shows.

 

2.  Another recent favourite of mine is the “Boundless Beauty Silicone Vibrator”.  This is made from the finest grade A silicone and it’s soft, supple and in tune with your body. It’s really hygienic which is very important when working as a cam model. The carefully designed contours along the length add texture and feeling.

 

3. If you prefer something smaller that can be used in both your vagina and ass comfortably, then why not try a bullet toy? These are only around 6cm in length but can be great for girls and guys who don’t wish to feel any discomfort.

 

As a general rule, any new toys that you purchase should be as high quality as your budget can afford.  If it’s a dildo or vibrator try and buy only high grade silicone toys. Poor quality toys not only don’t last very long, they can also irritate your genital areas, mouth etc leading to allergies and ultimately a loss in earnings due to you not being able to perform properly or not at all. Also make sure you find a toy that is not too big to give you pain and discomfort. Your customers will always want to see your biggest toy, so make sure that you are comfortable with whatever one you are using. You may want to “reserve” your biggest toy for those regular customers who bring you the largest percentage of your earnings only? Also bear in mind what colours and style your toy is going to be?  This is really down to your personal preference.

How to take care and maintain you toys? You should try and clean you toys every day after every working shift. Try and do this as a routine so you won’t even need to think about it after a while. Using  toy cleaning wipes are the best idea or feminine wipes can be used too. These can be bought at the same shop you purchased your toy or from any good pharmacy. Doing this is essential to maintain the hygiene of your toys and avoid any nasty infections or allergies.

Finally don’t forget it isn’t just toys that will make you stand out from an average webcam performer. Using sexy uniforms (see Top Webcam Modeling Tips – Different Outfits For Different Days, By Sydney Lavelle ), high heels, oils and lube are also a great idea to get your customers engaged and coming back for more and more!!

How To Stay A Healthy Webcam Model – By Sydney Lavelle

December 10th, 2011

Just as working in any sex industry, it’s vitally important for webcam models to regularly check their health as well as adhering to strict hygiene guidelines. When you are working as a full time webcam model, which may include 7-8 hour daily shifts, you may well be using a variety of toys, lubes and your fingers. This can lead to the possibility of a variety of nasty bacterial infections in your genital regions and mouth. Read on to learn how to protect and prevent such infections!

The reality of getting such an infection is that you will not be able to work for at least a few days, possibly even a few weeks with a serious infection. Thus, seriously affecting your income. However sticking to a few simple rules can help avoid 99.9% of such infections.

Firstly, keep all your toys and hands as clean as possible. This may include in having an anti-bacterial hand gel, washing your hands after private shows etc. Try and clean your toys daily at the end of each shift, try and engrain it into part of your daily routine as a webcam model. Also to prevent any possible allergies try and buy only good quality toys that are manufactured out of high quality silicone, glass or wood (believe it or not!) rather than cheap plastic. It goes without saying that you shouldn’t put a toy that you have just put into your ass into your mouth or vagina either, but I have seen many models do this unfortunately.

As for lubricants, the same rules apply pretty much. Try not to buy cheap lubricants, as these are more likely to give you allergic rashes. Even though it may cost a little more, try and buy lubricants made from natural materials, such as organic coconut oil and water based lubricants. These are not only gentle and soothing for your skin but will avoid any unsightly rashes!

Your overall health is very important too. Clearly try and avoid drinking too much alcohol, smoking and taking drugs. This will not only have a detrimental effect on your looks but will lower your immune system, thus making you more prone to infections. To keep your figure lean and in shape, try and do some cardio exercise at least 4 – 5 times a week as well as having a balanced, low sugar and cabs diet. Try and avoid junk food as much as possible too! I know this may sound a lot, but if you are really serious about working as a webcam model these are the steps you need to take to reach the top 10% and so be earning over $2000 every week!

Finally try and keep the clothes that come into contact with your genital areas, such as thongs, panties etc as clean as possible. If you do suspect that you may have a vaginal or penile infection, such as slight burning sensation when you urinate, that is not serious enough to merit a visit to the doctor. It is recommended that you drink cranberry juice to remedy it. (However you must immediately seek medical treatment if it is an STD).

Remember a healthy mind and body are the key to being a productive, very good looking and ultimately successful webcam model!

Earn Big Bucks Having Sex as A Webcam Couple! By Sydney Lavelle

November 26th, 2011

In today’s webcam model blog I would like to discuss the idea of having sex and getting paid for it! In other words, working as a webcam model couple. This could be with your wife, husband, girlfriend, and boyfriend or just with another webcam model as a means to an end. For most people the idea of having sex and getting paid for it is their dream job! Read on for some more hints and tips on how to become a successful webcam model couple.
Working as a webcam model can be a lot of fun, there is no doubt about that. Having said that, at the end of the day most people will be doing it to earn money not just for the hell of it. Working with a partner can be quite different to solo cam modeling. Your customers may often request you to perform things you have never done before sexually or things you are not too keen on doing, so be prepared for that. Also there are the practical issues for guys, on getting hard time and time again on demand, as well as ejaculating many times in one working day! But this could be just what your relationship needs sexually to boost your libido and give you that push to try new things you wouldn’t necessarily try otherwise!

Ensure that you have a good “working” relationship with your cam partner, whether it is your girlfriend, boyfriend or whoever. You need to practice and run through things before going online. Find out what your partner is and is not prepared to do. From an emotional point of view, try not to get jealous if a customer constantly compliments your partner on their assets. Or on the other hand if a customer is overly criticizes your small, breast, penis or whatever. Ultimately it’s just a job and the positive definitely outweigh the negatives of this particular job!

You also should bear in mind that working as a cam model couple means that you will have to split any money you earn. However this is greatly outweighed by the fact that cam model couples earn on average around 35% more than solo cam models!

You should also make sure you do not go online after you have had an argument or there is some bad feeling in the air. This will simply turn off your customers. Make sure you are both in relaxed playful moods, listen to some music, drink some alcohol or anything that gets you in the mood to have fun and earn some money!

Best Webcam Sites for Latina Girls

November 19th, 2011

I have recently noticed the amount of emails I have been receiving from Latina girls, asking me where they can make the most money working as webcam models. So I thought it would be appropriate for me to give you sexy girls some pointers on which sites are the best suited for hot Latina girls to make a load of cash!

1. iFriends
Firstly let’s take a look at iFriends, one of the more exclusive webcam sites on the net. The last time I looked there were only 8 Latina cam models online, so the competition isn’t exactly fierce. However this site prefers quality of quantity, but if you think you have what it takes then why not sign up for them, you don’t have to pay a dime! The payout for iFriends is 50%, which is slightly more than most other sites too. Another thing I love about iFriends is that cam models can see their stats live whilst they are chatting with customers, which is about the best motivation you can get seeing your $$$ go up and up!

To register with iFriends completely free of charge, please click here!

2. InternetModeling
Unlike iFriends this webcam site has literally hundreds of Latina models online at any given time. There is definitely a whole lot more choice for the customer, however the average standard of the Latina cam models here in terms of both looks and HD shows. Though it is worth noting that if you are from either Columbia or Venezuela they won’t accept models from these countries. Although if you are only slightly above average in looks you will definitely stand out from the crowd. Having said that the payout is not as high as iFriends, being only around 35% but there are literally thousands of customers online.

To register with InternetModeling and start making $2000 every week, please click here!

3. LiveJasmin
Livejasmin is the daddy of all webcam websites. With the most webcam models, the most customers, the highest paid webcam models, the most promotions. You name it and it has the most of everything! With regards to Latina models there are at least a few hundred online at any time. The quality varies greatly, from stunning super model lookalikes with big silicone tits and perfect figures to saggy not so good looking models (to be quite frank). You may think that the competition would be too much for any new models to sign up, however with the HUGE number of customers they have, it really isn’t a problem. They have also just released a new payout structure, which ranges from 30% to a whopping 80% (depending on your earnings). That has got to be the highest payout I’ve EVER seen in my ten years in working in the webcam industry!

To register with LiveJasmin and get the chance to earn an 80% payout, please click here!

If any Latina girls would like to share their experiences of working as a cam model, then please feel free to comment below!

Have a great weekend,

Dress To Kill On Halloween!

October 15th, 2011

Once again Halloween is nearly upon us and it is a great opportunity to make some extra cash as well as having a lot of fun! Let’s see what the best ways are to maximise the potential of this ghoulish festival are.

Dress to Kill!
First of all there is the blatant opportunity to wear something unique and sexy on Halloween. Whether it is a zombie maid outfit, wicked witch or skimpy vampire attire, there is no excuse for not wearing something different! You will not only stand out from the crowd but also your customers will be queuing up for private chats with the most ghoulishly, sexy girl on the block! What a great way to boost your earnings!!

Create your Zombie/Vampire Home!
So you have chosen your sexy yet ghoulish clothes for Halloween, now you need to create the perfect zombie/vampire atmosphere for your customers to see! The theme should be dark, not too many bright lights but enough so that they can still see you in HD. Maybe a pumpkin with candle light coming out of those evil looking eyes, some atmospheric cobwebs hanging from the ceiling or some strategically placed skulls with lights inside to make them come alive. Anything like this to set the Halloween, ghoulish atmosphere alive.

At the end of the day, variety is the spice of life and customers love to see their favourite girls/guys in different sexy costumes and outfits. Keep it varied and fun and your customers will be coming back for more and more!

Have fun and stay safe on Halloween guys! Sydney Lavelle

Webcam Modeling School and the First Mega Webcam Site!!

October 7th, 2011

Would you like to work on webcam site that has over 1million registered paying customers?? Would you like to have expert advice on how to start out as a cam modeling, and tips and advice to guide your way to success. If the answer is yes to any of the previous questions then read on!

The site I am talking about is without doubt THE BIGGEST webcam website on the net. Livejasmin (LJ) started out in 2005 and has quickly developed and become the biggest and most successful cam site on the net, with the best paid models too. The top models on LJ regularly get paid over $2000 every week, making a very healthy salary of $8000 per month, which comes to very nice $96,000 yearly salary! LJ is the first “Mega Cam Site” in the fact that it now has over 1million paying customers. Yes it does have a very large amount of models too, but with this amount of customers, who cares!

Registering with LJ Is very simple and they offer you step by step instructions on how to do so. Once you have submitted all the relevant documents you can be working as a cam model in as little as 2 – 3 hours. See “How to Become a Webcam Model” on our website for more information. LJ also offer 24/7 technical and administrative support, something which no other cam site offers.

The payment options are bi-monthly on the 10th and 25th of every month and they offer payment via Payoneer, www.payoneer.com (where there will you send you your personal ATM card where you can receive your salary), direct wire transfer or the old fashioned cheque method. Please see my article “Best Payment Methods” for more information on this.

Privacy is an issue I often get asked about from prospective models. However with LJ it is no longer an issue. This is due to the fact that you can completely block non-paying guests as well as paying members from your country being able to see you online. In addition you can block a further two more countries. This is a major bonus for newbie cam models who wish to protect their privacy.

LJ operates similarly to a training school or college for newbie webcam models. Firstly they offer explicit advice on how to get started, what to do and what not to do. Secondly there is a huge variety of niches you can try out and see which one suits you the best as a cam model. That’s not to mention their 24/7 technical support!

LJ has something to offer for every cam model, whether you want to work full time, part time or whatever. You can do it with LJ, because you are your own boss and you set your own hours! If you just want to earn some extra $$$ during the evenings after College, that’s fine. Or if you are a single mum and want to get some more income for your family whilst working from home during the day that suits too! It doesn’t matter if you are a girl, guy, gay, couple, whatever your looks and race, you can be earning $$$ with LJ for sure!

There is only one way to find out for yourself. Come and check out Livejasmin right now!

Thank for dropping by and have a great day.
Sydney Lavelle

Interview With Hot Gay Webcam Model DeliciousBB4U

September 17th, 2011

Today I was very lucky to have the chance to interview the very popular and successful gay/boy webcam model DeliciousBB4U. He is currently ranked number one in the Livejasmin 69team and for good reason too! Let’s take a look what he had to say about himself and webcam modeling.

1. Sydney Lavelle: “So how did you get into webcam modeling?”
DBB4U: “Well it all started just as a bit of fun when I was at college. I had just turned 18 and was always a bit of an exhibitionist, so I thought I would try cam modeling just for fun. What started out as a hobby soon turned out to be a full time job and a great money spinner!”

2. Sydney: “How long have you been webcam modeling now?”
DBB4U: “Around 2 years now.”

3. Sydney: “Ok, and what sites do you work on now?”
DBB4U: “Well I first started out on Livejasmin and it’s still going strong on there. I’ve also started working on another site too with Internetmodeling. At first it didn’t work out well working on two sites, simply because my internet speed was too slow, but I didn’t realize that until after about a month. Now it’s great because I can work on two sites at pretty much the same time so I’ve doubled my income in the space of two months!”

4. Sydney: “Right, I hope you don’t mind me asking this but how much do you make on average per month?”
DBB4U: “That’s ok, I get asked that a lot. It varies to be honest, since I started working on two cam sites, the minimum I have got is around $1200 a month and the most I ever got was $4600 in one month!”

5. Sydney: ““Wow that’s a pretty good wage, considering you are your own boss. So which website do you prefer, Livejasmin or Internetmodeling?”
DBB4U: “Hmm that’s a tricky question. Firstly I wanna say that they are both EXCELLENT sites and give great support to their models. They both have VERY good traffic. The thing I prefer about Internetmodeling is that they pay weekly, whereas Livejasmin pays only twice a month, BUT I definitely get the majority of my wage from LJ, maybe that’s because I have been working there longer, I’m really not sure.”

6. Sydney: What are your future plans? Would you like to carry on cam modeling or branch out into something new?”
DBB4U: “Hmmm to be honest I’m not too sure yet. I have been thinking of studying more and working as a cam model part time, but also I have been thinking about going into adult acting or something along those lines. You will just have to watch this space!”

7. Sydney: “Ok, well good luck with whatever you do. So a lot of your fans have been emailing me, are you really gay or bi or what!?”
DDB4U: “Haha, I couldn’t possible tell you that here! You will have to come and watch my shows and decide for yourself!!”

8. Sydney: “Ok, no problem, well thanks very much for giving us the time to ask you a few questions. Good luck with the rest of your webcam modeling career too!”
DDB4U: “Thanks a lot Sydney and I would also like to say a BIG thank you to all of my fans for supporting me.”
