Trying to get an accurate figure as to how many of the World Wide Web’s active sites are actually dedicated to sex/sexuality/porn in one form or another is not an easy task, with figures ranging from a fairly conservative 4% to a slightly more hefty 37%. However, whatever the current stats, one thing that most people working within the industry agree on is that websites hosting adult cams have become increasingly popular in recent years.
What does this mean for our cam girls and cam guys? Well, good news all round really as live sex chat has taken over from pre-recorded DVDs in the popularity stakes. And it’s all down to the live interaction – something that viewers seem to enjoy above all else, and something that has only been made possible by advances in technology. Says adult business attorney Michael Fattorosi ‘Getting a live show with your favourite porn star is like sitting down with your favourite actor or musician’ and in recent years adult cams have soared in popularity with both models and users.
So what does it take to be a successful cam girl? Well good looks certainly do help but most successful performers will agree that the cam girls who make the big bucks have a lot more going on than a pert ass and a great pair of tits. Personality and a sense of fun are massively important in engaging viewers and keeping them in your room, and it takes a good business mind to really reap the benefits of your God given gifts and talents.
So while plenty of girls (and more and more guys) are happy enough to see camming as a way of earning a few extra quid in the evenings, a significant percentage are starting to view working on adult cams as a more full time career. It gives them an excellent understanding of how the adult industry works and they tend to have more control over how their career develops than they would have with the more traditional performer/studio model.
One of the biggest advantages of adult cams is that it is entirely up to you what goes on in your room. You are your own director/art director and script writer and this gives you the freedom to put on a super fun creative show when you have the time or just keep things simple if you only have an hour or so to spare. You don’t do anything you don’t want to do and you get the added thrill of knowing that the better you work that cam and the more fun you have with your viewers the more money you’re likely to earn. And at the end of the day having fun is great but it sure won’t pay the rent!
