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. 

If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to email me at:  SerenityBBWCam@gmail.com. I am completely open to answering any questions you might have and I usually always reply within 24-48 hours.

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.

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.
