Life happens

I haven't cammed in a while, and I have not posted in awhile either. Let's try to write an update. 

So as most of you know, I am a full-time nursing student and that tends to take up a lot of my time. Today was actually my last day of this semester- thank god! I have been studying and procrastinating, and that has taken a lot of my time. I also had an unfortunate event happen, I found out my dad was in the hospital about a week and a half ago. He went there due to the diagnosis of psychosis, he started out being on a ventilator and sedated. The reason why is because not only was he not in his right mind but he had pneumonia, and a staff infection in his lungs. He has been on and off the ventilator, and now is finally off again- hopefully for good. He is also back to the right state of mind, but the Drs still have not been able to figure out what caused the temporary psychosis. So, lets just say, I have been in the hospital a lot and not in the right mind to cam. I plan of returning to cam tonight.  

Something I really want to mention is, how difficult it is to make money during December- Wow! If you are a follower reading this, please pay attention. Every little bit of tips help during this month. I understand everyone is low on cash and has to buy presents for their loved ones, but so do cam models. We are people too. The thing is, during the holidays...cam models struggle to just pay bills let alone have gift money for their loved ones. Please understand the frustration that some models may have during this time. We appreciate everything, especially during this time. If you can spare a giftcard, a gift off of a wishlist or even $10 to buy 100 tokens..it all adds up and will make us very thankful in the end. I myself usually make on average $300-$400 per payout for about 24-30 hours for 2 weeks. Last payout I only made $150, and it killed me. I had to skip bills just to open a lay-away. Why am I telling you this? I am a real ass person, and I want you to know..cam models are people too. Although some people think we are just sex robots. Lol

I know I did a poll of which topic to do next, and it came out to be information on bots and apps, and I will get to it soon, I promise.

Things a webcam model should have

After several votes I decided this would be my next topic. As someone looking to get into webcam modeling you might think there are so many specific things you need to have to get started, when in reality, not many things are needed to start.

Things recommended to have when starting webcam modeling:

• A webcam (720P or 1080P is the quality i recommend) and a microphone

You are able to use a webcam that is a lesser quality or even your webcam that is attached to your computer, but after you first pay, make it a priority to get a decent webcam, it will help you make a lot more in the long run. Along with that I would recommend you get a tripod, because it is easier to move the cam around that way. Like I mentioned in a previous post, the more you move around, and angles you show, the better your performance will be. A laptop microphone is just fine, but if you feel like shopping, go ahead and purchase a better one (never a headset). Here is a cheap one from Amazon.com for just $17.00.

This is the webcam that I use personally and it's quality is fantastic.

• 1 or 2 adult toys

Toy of course are a good thing to have going into the industry. As you work more and more, you can add toys to your Amazon wishlist, and customers will be more than willing to purchase them, especially if you hint to them how much you really want it. No toys? No worries. In the beginning you can get away with just using your hands to play. On Chaturbate they have rules that you can not use anything for masturbation purposes unless it is meant for that purpose. Keep that in mind when you decide to play.

These (Magic Wands) are used by many many models on Chaturbate.

• Panties, Socks, Bras

You should already own those right? Always try to show some skin, but don't be afraid to make it minimal. Models wear all different types of things on cam, not just lingerie! Some models wear just a bra and panties, some wear costumes or things to make them look like a schoolgirl and such, and some girls just wear a camisole and panties. In my case men tend to see me in a cami and panties, or just a bra and panties, but my thing is.. I always wear socks! Especially Knee Highs, those are my fave! Some men even have a sock fetish, but I know more men have a foot fetish. I have an album listed on Chaturbate with pictures of my feet. So if I never show my feet on cam, it gets men curious, and I don't give away the goods for free. :) If you are curious what they wear, go check out a few cams and see for yourself. Chaturbates home page

• A clean area to work

Whether it be a bed or the floor, make sure you always have a clean area to work. If the area behind you or next to you is cluttered or not appealing, the focus wont be on you, but instead your environment. Eventually they wont be interested and will leave.

Here is a pretty fuzzy rug listed below and it will make your environment look very classy.

• Social Media

Every webcam model should create a model email, and a social media account. I would recommend Twitter or Tumblr. The more you get yourself out there, the more followers you will have, and the more money comes in. My Twitter is @SerenityReaBBW and if you make one be sure to follow me and tweet me to let me know you are a new model that has read my blog, and I will follow back, and promote you to get you started on your followers. I myself use several social media platforms. I will list these below.

Tumblr (SerenityReaBBW)
My free (to make) website
A forum for people new to the cam world (search SerenityRea to add me)
Skyprivate a website to make sure you get paid (if you do skype shows, I don't)


Honestly I can't think of much more that you "need", but as you get used to it your personal shows will differ from everyone else's shows. I don't think I have seen a webcam model that is exactly the same as another.
