If you’re thinking of camming, I hope the few pointers here, as to what you will expect and the issues you will face, will prove helpful. I will focus on the platform I mainly work on. I won’t reveal it’s name.

I have worked in the adult industry for many years. I won’t reveal my role. One year ago, I decided to add another earning stream by trying commercial webcamming. I bought a good HD webcam and a ringlight & did my research first. I registered at several sites as a customer and watched the male cammers in action. The sites have a huge number of S.American models who are mostly young. They charge top money. There are models from all over the world but I was interested in the “Daddy” market. “Daddy” is a term used by mature males to describe their sexuality – usually as a dominant person.

Models perform for free initially and they earn through receiving “tips” or “tokens” which “motivates” them to do more actions. The real money is earned when they go into private chat with a customer where they cam2cam exclusively.

I noticed there weren’t many British mature male models and the ones camming didn’t seem to be very engaging with customers.

I verified myself with a few sites and read all the advice about building a camming business. I wanted to be prepared.

After trying out some sites, I settled on one which seemed to have an easy “layout” & good payout system. The verification process was easy and I could see that “new” cammers always earned well in their first 2/3 weeks. This site promoted new cammers, as customers always love seeing newbies!

My first two weeks were crazy. What did I do on cam to attract a following? I normally started the session fully clothed and gradually stripped until I was naked. On this site, you can see clearly which customers have money to spend and which ones don’t. I decided to engage with all visitors to my room as moneyless customers can always purchase tokens and spend with you.

I discovered early on that there’s many time wasters and fakers. Some (male) models cam just for fun, but my intention was to earn and (hopefully) have fun.

I have built up a following of over 5000 in this one site (over a 5 month period) and have 700 “friends”. I also have a fan club and have 28 members. This doesn’t sound like many – but each fan club member pays a monthly fee to see exclusive content & receive discounts, similar to OnlyFans. I don’t do camming full time – I usually spend a total of 10/12 hours per week on cam. How much do I earn? Find out at the end of this article.
