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. 

Please remember if you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me at SerenityBBWCam@gmail.com

A lot of shit on my mind...

Okay, so this post deserves a special color. Purple it is. 

First thing first, I have been incredibly busy, and haven't been to get shit done unless I am paying $2000 for it per semester. xD Or..they are paying me that..haha. So let's try to do a bit of brief updating. 

I was recently on Chaturbate's Model Spotlight. That was exciting. I gained quite a bit more followers and met some awesome new people. The only thing that would have made it better, is if I didn't do the interview 3 months ago. o.o It made things a bit outdated, and as most know, things are constantly changing in the cam world. 

Serenity's Spotlight

Next, Holy fucking Holidays. We have Halloween, Thankgiving, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and whatever else people celebrate, and it's stresses me out. It is like a week before Halloween and I don't even have a costume yet! -.- Final exams come in December, and my Cam-versary is at the end of December. Holy shit balls. My birthday is also 4 months away..so I have to plan something uber exciting for that..still no clue. Anyways..that is the gist of that situation. 

I am considering doing a raffle within the next month or so, any suggestions? Please send me an email and let me know. 

Also if any website designers decide to read my blog, let me know if this next topic interests you. I have been looking everywhere for a model to cam with me but I am not having much luck in my state. I was thinking we could make a website where each model could be verified via camsite and let's say twitter? Then we could have the ability to find people in our area that are looking for cam partners. Maybe the models can make their profiles specific to a certain gender, age range, and distance willing to travel..things like that..if you could make it work, I would love to join in and help. :) 

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.
Facebook (Serenity Reaa)
Twitter (@SerenityReaBBW)
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.

Time limited

I planned on writing in this blog frequently but I just haven't had the time to lately. I figured I would get on here really quick and type a few sentences to let you all know what is going on. I just started a new semester in school about 2 weeks ago, and it is a demanding one. My daughter also starts school Monday, and I have been trying to get that figured out as well. I lost internet about 2-3 weeks ago, and I am hoping to have it back on by next week. *Crosses fingers* I truly do miss being on cam, sometimes I felt like it was just my time to relax, my chance for "release" in more than one way ;). I will try to write a more cam-educational posts as soon as I have enough time, currently I am just procrastinating studying, so I honestly have to make things short and sweet for now. If you EVER have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me. I always get my emails, and will most likely respond within 24 hours. I don't mind questions at all, or even random emails, so feel free to keep in contact with me even after your initial questions. I can be reached at SerenityBBWcam@gmail.com.

How to make the most money on cam Pt. 1

.

Making a bio

• Many people will make a bio for you on Chaturbate, but a lot of times it will cost you. There are free options even if you know a little something about HTML. What I did myself was open up Power Point, and make a few slides. A slide for events that are going on, a description of who I am (my personality description and my physical description), a slide for the rules and things that will get you silenced, and a tip menu. Once all of the slide were made I would just view them in full screen, take screen shots, paste them into Microsoft word, save them to my computer, do a little cropping, and then upload them to tinypic.com and add the codes to my bio! Pretty simple. My bio isn't top grade but for now, and for free- I am satisfied. Here are some screenshots of my current bio below.

UPDATE 8/17/14: I created a new bio. It wasn't too hard, but did a lot with a photo editor and a background eraser. Here are the screenshots. 

Creating social media

• As I am sure that most of you know, social media is huge! The more you are able to talk to your followers and let them know what is going on is the more they are going to want to visit you. I myself have made a Twitter (which Chaturbate will let you put on your bio), and a Facebook (cb will not allow this). This gives you a chance to keep your followers updated with the sexy things in life, events you are holding (such as raffles or contests) or even what time you will be on next! I love that I can talk to my regulars but you have to be careful because people will try to take advantage of you, they will annoy you, or even try to get your personal contact information. 
• I would also recommend that you avoid doing Skype shows. Not only does Chaturbate not allow you to advertise them, but many many people will try to scam you. Many people will promise you things (never trust anyone! even a regular) and they will "buy" things off of your wishlists, but if it is not an Amazon E-gift card then do not follow through on it. Many people will "buy" something off of your wishlist and will cancel it or put it on a prepaid card and you will never get it. Also if you try to go the paypal route, I have heard bad things as well.  If you are not aware, Paypal does not allow adult transactions and will eventually end up cancelling your account. I have heard that Giftrocket.com is a great alternate source but I heard that people have been scammed just as easily as they have been with Amazon wishlists. So beware, and try to stick to E-gift cards and tokens. 

Make a regular schedule

• Many times your customers will have the same time availability as you do. I would recommend that you set a specific schedule and let your followers/customers know exactly when it is, even post it on your Chaturbate bio, and Twitter! I have people/regulars ask me frequently- "Are you going to be on Friday? I am getting a big pay check and I want to spoil you." If they already know, then BAM! Time to get spoiled. 

Stay optimistic and Be nice! 

• I know it can be hard especially on bad days, but you should always try to be optimistic and be nice to everyone even the grays! You don't have to tolerate the rude assholes, but I do recommend that you silence or ban them and move on. Sometimes I joke about them, and try to brush it off, because the reality is, sometimes some of those rude assholes can really have hurtful remarks, and I have to do what I can to bring myself back to positivity. Also no one likes complaining..Do not bring real life problems on cam, most men are there to get off, they most likely don't want to hear about how much you hate certain things in your life. Also that doesn't mean that they shouldn't know a bit..I tend to tell life stories all the time but usually using fake names or no names at all, it makes people feel like they are getting to know you, and from what I have experienced they want to hear funny things that happen in life, and a lot of times they want to share their experiences with you as well. Listen! Not only to those who have tokens but to everyone. I can not tell you how many "grays" have come back to me with tokens because they said I was super nice, and I didn't just avoid them because they didn't have tokens. So pretty much- Don't act like a gold digger. It turns off a lot of people. Although most are there to beat their meat, some are just lonely and enjoy some decent conversation. 

This is pretty much all I have for now. I will be adding a Pt. 2, sometime soon. If you have any questions or comments feel free to share. :) I hope this helps. 

Early Mornings, Late Nights..something of a repetitive process

I finally roll into bed around 4am in the morning. I haven't slept much lately. At about 5am I roll over to notice that my daughter has climbed into bed with me, which has become a quite regular occurrence lately, I squirm in awkward positions trying to get comfortable quickly because I know I have a maximum of possibly 2 hours left to sleep. . .

Bright and Early sun barely peeking through the window, I feel a tug on my shoulder, "Mom can I turn on the TD (the way she says TV)?" I pull my self to a sitting position, pull my laptop out from the side table, and begin checking the enormous amounts of social media pages, and email pages that I have for both my personal and professional life. Just like every morning, I get interrupted because, my daughter wants some cereal. Who knew kids had to eat? Lol ;) I head to the bathroom for a bit of morning hygiene, then groggily head downstairs to make my daughter some breakfast...

I pretty much stayed in today, only stepped outside to check the mail. Was quite a slow day today, I mostly cleaned, researched, cooked, and watched a few episodes of Dora the Explorer. It's bedtime for my daughter now. She was fed, and bathed, and tucked into bed. Everything was peaceful for awhile, I was researching things, and listening to music. Next thing I know my daughter is crying, I told her to come see me, and she did but only to the bottom of the stairs. Her cry silenced and turn into a bit of whining. I got up to see what exactly was going on. Somehow she tried to put a hair tie in her bun that I had fixed earlier, and it got stuck on the bannister of the stairs, at the very top of the stairs. She had walked all the way down the stairs stretching this rubber band about 26 stairs while it was still in her hair. I panicked, and then grabbed the scissors to cut it, but I was still astonished. One little rubber band, stretched 26 stairs, and my daughter who is fully capable of speaking, didn't say a word but yet accomplished something I thought would be impossible. 

I am now sitting here writing this blog with a million things running through my mind, not only the crazy rubber band thing, but wondering what time she will actually fall asleep so I can get ready to get on cam. Her head must hurt. 

Thoughts begin to stamped my mind..

Hmm..what to wear tonight? Casual, sexy, or fun? How should I do my make up? Light eyeliner or sexy cat eyes? Should I do the show downstairs or upstairs in my room? Are those knee highs even clean? I really need to get a new lamp, mine is a bit of a fire hazard. I have so many errands to run tomorrow should I cut camming short or just deal with being a bit groggy throughout the day because I really need to reach my payout goal? 

My thoughts never seemed to be organized, always a bit hectic and usually not thorough.  

Time for a bit more research and a little social media, while I wait for my daughter to be fast asleep. Then I will most likely head up stairs go through my clothes, pick out an outfit, strip down to my bra and panties, and plop on the floor with my make up box. . .

When the make up is complete, most times I just run around my bedroom partially nude picking out toys, unfolding my tripod, setting up lighting, and then eventually getting dressed (all while contemplating what goal I should do tonight). I tend to light a cigarette, while restarting my computer so it is at its best performance, then quickly checking social media networks and letting my followers know I will be on Chaturbate soon.

 

Indecisive and Unhinged

There are days where I am not too sure about things, and other days when I wish I had the ability to bitch slap someone through their computers...At least today ended on a positive note. 

It's kind of weird, some day's I go through phases where I want to cam, and others where I just don't feel up to it. I was literally cammed-out for like 2 months straight, but then again Chaturbate has it's peaks and it's lows. I can't say that it isn't annoying because this is how I pay my bills. Although that is the reason I actually get my ass motivated to get on cam, because I do have bills to pay. The thing is, sometimes even with shit loads of motivation, I still won't get on because my mood is incredibly important- just like it would be with any other profession, and I am not that great at faking my bubbly personality.

This is slightly random but it really reminds me of a few comments I received from other models. I tend to creep models rooms, and talk to them, because cam friends are always good to have. Anyways, a few months ago, I was in someone's room and she was new and asking for advice, and I told her about goals, and maturbating on cam. She literally said, "Oh hell no, I am not going to get naked and play with my pussy like a fucking prostitute." I am just sitting there like, Did she just called me a prostitute? Seriously, how are you going to ask for advice, and then dog me out when I give you tips on how things run? The site is called Chaturbate.. THE FUCKING ACT OF MASTURBATING WHILE CHATTING. Wtf? Some people just have no sense. Another girl just the other day went and checked out my bio, and says, "Wow you will spread your ass on here? That's pretty gross I don't think I could do that." Well, awesome. Don't spread your ass then, but keep your negative comments to yourself.

On a positive note though, I just received a gift in the mail. One of my cam friends MystiSyre had this amazing pink pillow bedrest thing..and I fell in love with it. I always mentioned it in her room. Ironically enough, I mentioned it one day and one of our mutual followers was in her room, and asked me if I had one on my wishlist. I honestly never thought to look, so I told them to hold on a moment, and went to Amazon. So here I am scrolling through Amazon and I find one- A zebra print one- OMG I fell in love, it immediately went on my wishlist. Shortly after I returned to her room, our mutual follower private messaged me and told me he ordered it. To say the least, I was too excited! Especially because I am trying to totally give my bedroom a makeover. Zebra Print, and Paris. :) Nice combo right!? Lol My wishlist seems to be a mix of pink, black & white. Below is the Zebra pillow bedrest thing. <3
