How to become a webcam girl: your 7-step guide to success

You’ve decided to become a webcam girl. First off, good for you. Camming is one of the best ways to have fun and make money from home.

But, if you’ve never worked in the adult entertainment industry before, you’ve probably got a few questions. Like, exactly how do I become a webcam model? What site should I use? And how do I attract customers?

Luckily for you, this step-by-step guide explains everything you need to know to get started.

Step 1: Create an on-cam persona.

Becoming a cam girl is all about becoming a performer. So, before you get your adult webcam business up and running, you need to create a character or ‘on-cam persona’.

Give your persona a sexy-sounding name, write down all her likes and dislikes, and work on perfecting her voice and mannerisms.

Acting as your persona should not only help you separate your personal life from your adult work. It should also improve your confidence on cam. And nothing’s sexier than confidence.

Step 2: Find the right cam site.

You’ll find hundreds of sites which claim to help you become a webcam girl and build your own streaming business from home.

But not all of them provide 24/7 support, help you stay safe online, and pay you fairly. Some are simply middlemen, who take a large slice of your earnings while providing little or nothing in return.

That’s why it’s important to do your homework and sign up to a reputable platform, like Chatrecruit. We can get you set up on a trusted UK adult cam site, where you’ll have access to thousands of customers and expert support.

Step 3: Promote yourself.

The cam site you choose should provide you with some traffic. But to really boost your customer numbers, you need to promote yourself.

Social media is your best friend for spreading the word about your new cam business. We particularly recommend using Twitter, as this social media platform is more accepting of adult workers than others.

Include links to your cam profile in your Twitter bio and post about it regularly on your feed. Make sure your followers know exactly where to find you if they want to chat on cam.

Step 4: Learn what your customers want.

To become a top cam girl, you need to learn how to please your customers.

Not all guys are into the same thing. So, it pays to do some research in different fetishes and kinks.

Make sure you stock up on a range of sex toys to suit every desire. And invest in lingerie, stockings, and outfits that are sure to keep all kinds of customers coming back for more.

Step 5: Plan your pricing.

Before you jump on cam, you need to decide what you want to charge your customers.

Our cam site lets you choose your per-minute rates and amend them when you please.

Don’t undersell yourself. But remember, if you set your prices too high (particularly when you’re just starting out as a webcam girl), you might not attract as many customers.

Keep your prices competitive if you want to build your business fast.

Step 6: Set up your webcam.

Prices set, it’s time to go live on cam.

Make sure you use a decent webcam (you can find our pick of the best webcams here). And before you start streaming, familiarise yourself with the features and rules of the site you’re using. Some don’t allow you to do certain things on camera.

If you have a good webcam but find the quality of your streams is still poor, test your internet speed. If it’s below 1 Mbps, switch to a lower camera quality in your settings. Or contact your internet provider.

Step 7: Build customer loyalty.

For your own safety, you shouldn’t share your personal details like your real name or address with customers. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get to know them.

Experienced cam girls say they make most of their money from repeat business. So, it’s important to build a good relationship with your regulars. Learn their personal turns-ons and encourage them to connect with you again.
