Talking Dirty When Webcamming

A lot of people think of camming as an inherently visual experience, with a webcam model’s body and the things she does to it (and perhaps the things she uses to do things to it) being of paramount importance. But this is a naive view, as any cam girl who does nothing but sit naked and perform solitary sex acts on herself is destined for failure in the industry.

A large part, arguably the largest part of webcamming overall, is engaging with the audience through charisma and personality. And one essential facet of this which cannot be overlooked is so-called “dirty talk”.

The Power of Dirty Words

It is impossible to overstate the popularity of dirty talk among viewers of cam sites (and possibly, by extension, the male population in general). Of any given roomful of people watching a cam girl’s performance, a significant proportion of them will find it enormous arousing to hear her speak in a suggestive or overtly sexual manner. As such, the importance of satisfying this quirk is huge.

Unfortunately, many webcam models believe they “don’t know” how to do it well, and they often feel awkward even trying. What most ultimately find, however, is that they already have the knowledge necessary to excel at dirty talk, and that any feelings of awkwardness fade once they throw themselves into it.

The key to talking dirty in an effective manner is to feel comfortable doing it. Probably the best way for a cam model to build herself up to this point is to begin by simply asking her viewers to “talk dirty” to her, in the sense of asking them to share their sexual fantasies. Most guys will be only too happy to oblige this request, and by discussing their answers with them, a cam girl becomes more accustomed to dirty talk in general and can eventually take a more active role in doing it herself.

Of course, many viewers won’t require anything so creative as the stereotypical pornographic dialogue. For instance, “jerk off instructions” (JOI), in which a webcam model merely directs a man through the steps of masturbating himself, is incredibly popular. Doing this is exactly as simple as it sounds, and more of an effort is required to fail at it than to succeed. It is really a matter of reading the room in general and the person a cam girl is speaking with in particular, and saying what it takes to satisfy them/him.

Cam Model Fan Clubs

A solid option for cam girls seeking to sell content (homemade pictures and videos) online is running a cam model fan club. This can be an excellent supplement to camming revenues, because the income generated from such a club is passive. It takes time to build up, but once you are able to get it at a respectable level, it will generally continuing producing for you with only minimal upkeep required. Unfortunately, most cam girls are unclear on precisely what a cam model fan club is, let alone how to establish and profit off of one.

How It Works

Essentially, a cam model fan club uses a monthly subscription model to sell access to a database of content. Customers who pay the recurring monthly fee are able to view the provided pictures and videos at their leisure. This is an alternative to selling clips and images individually, and like selling individually, there are websites in operation to help facilitate the running of cam model fan clubs, including Membershyp and YouKandy. Some sites, such as IndieBill, allow both fan clubs and individualized selling of a cam girl’s content.

If you’re wondering how much money you can see from running a cam model fan club, there is no single answer. Your results will depend on a number of factors. One thing to keep in mind, however, as with camming itself, is that being known as an adult performer will help you tremendously. If the material you produce already has a following, then not only will your fans be more likely to visit you on your webcam model site and watch your performances, but they will be more likely to pay for your new content as well.

It’s All About Personal Connection

Remember that the Internet is awash in free pornography, and getting people to pay for it is no easy feat. It is certainly possible, however, and one of the best ways to do it is by making them like you personally and want to see YOUR pornography. By increasing your exposure, and taking the time to develop a loyal fan base, it’s not unreasonable to reach a monthly revenue in the thousands of dollars from this alone. Five-figure income is far less common, but not outside the realm of possibility.

Cam model fan clubs can be an excellent way to supplement your income as a webcamming broadcaster. As is so common in this industry, building a solid fan following is crucial. Once this is done, the sky is the limit.

Some of these sex fetishes are simply so bizarre, I would have never guessed that they existed. And let me tell you, I’ve been exposed to a huge number of fetishes as a cam model, but a few of these caught me by surprise. Webcamming has taught me that human sexual interests can vary widely, and you never know what somebody is going to sexualize. The human mind is an amazing thing.

Fetish Camming Basics

Most webcam models offer what are called “vanilla” performances on their cam sites, doing shows that focus on nudity and teasing or penetration (assuming they perform sexually, which not all cam girls do). But a significant and often under-served market that models should consider targeting is the “fetish” crowd, or those with sexual tastes other than the standard ones found in the webcamming world.

Almost any genre of sexuality, and even things not normally considered sexual at all, can be fetishes: hair, bondage, leather; the list is endless. The two largest fetishes currently in demand are feet and female domination, and they are so large that even many mainstream cam girls on “normal” sites will cater to them. But specialized camming sites also exist, conceived specifically to serve the fetish enthusiast.

MyFetishLive is one such site. A young site with little traffic of its own, MyFetishLive was created by a couple – a cam girl and a computer programmer. As they are unable to boast a large audience, they have tried to attract webcam models by taking customer support very seriously, and most users with experience on the site say the support system is extremely rapid, responsive, and attentive; one person even reports that a new fetish category was added by the administrators, merely because she pointed out that her preferred fetish was not listed.

New Camgirls Take Heed

Because the site is so small and targeted, it is not recommended for new cam girls. Most cam models using MyFetishLive say that they were only able to generate revenue there because their regulars from other sites followed them. Therefore, cam girls considering performing on MyFetishLive should be experienced and established, with a loyal following they can lead to a new venue.

MyFetishLive’s payment system is pretty standard. It offers a 50% commission on money earned, which is normal for the industry. Somewhat uniquely, it raises this percentage to 60% when money comes from a viewer referred to the site by the model herself, providing an incentive to bring more people to MyFetishLive. Payment from the site is reliable; there have been no reports of interruptions or delays.

For cam girls wishing to serve the somewhat neglected fetish community, MyFetishLive can be a worthy experiment. But it cannot be stressed enough that this site is not for webcam models new to the webcamming industry, as an established troop of regulars will likely be required to generate any substantial income here. This is important to keep in mind.
