Good looking

If you want to be a top model, you have to be attractive. You have to have beautiful or cute face as well as good looking body. You may think you are not attractive enough.

Also, the standard of attractiveness from your prospective and people from other countries are greatly different too. Since webcam model job is an online job, you can get benefits of dealing with international viewers. So even if you think you are not attractive, you are not necessarily unattractive from different prospective and culture.

Personality

Camming job is a service job who entertains customers, your personality plays significant role. Viewers are there in the chat room to have fun. Having good personality such as gracious, caring, vivid and happy would attract viewers. Also you have to be able to control your emotion as you would face rude viewers who intentionally try to hurt you if you work as a camgirl.

Dedication

Webcam jobs require the same level of dedication as other jobs. If you are looking for $50 or so, it is easy to do so in couple of hours. But if you are thinking to make tons of money, you have to devote your time and have a strategy. You as an independent business owner, you have many things to do by yourself to market yourself.

Also there is no one who tells you to work. It is very easy to be lazy in such environment

Willingness to learn

You have to differentiate yourself from others. You need to learn from your own experience on what you can improve. The best way to differentiate yourself from others is to have broad knowledge on many subjects as the customers are coming from different backgrounds. In another word, educate yourself to be an attractive person with high intelligence. If you have background knowledge on what customers are interested, the conversation flows and customers get satisfied.

What is a webcam model: Risk of being a camgirl

You know what is a webcam model now but you need to understand the risk of being a camgirl as well. It is always true that big money comes with high risk. Webcam modeling job is not an exception. There are several risks that you have to know before becoming a camgirl.

Identity risk Most of camgirl do not want their friends or family to know that you work as a camgirl. The question is” can you hide I work as a webcam model?”. The answer is yes and no. You can try to hide the fact from people around you but it is never 100%. Here is couples of things you can do to hide your identity.

Block the region you live in Depending on live camming sites, you can block viewers from wherever the region is. If you block the country and region where you live, the risk that someone you know find out about you work as a webcam model is significantly reduced. However, that function has a pit fall. It does not perfectly block people from the area you set for. The blocking function identifies people based on IP address. The IP address is like your home address in the internet world. This address can be modified if you are tech savvy. If you use proxy which is like a PO box in the internet world, your IP address becomes the location at where that proxy is located. Proxy is often used to protect identity as IP address can be used to identify where you live. Even if you block your hometown or surrounding area, as long as your family or friends are using proxy, it really does not matter. Furthermore, it is possible people who you do not want them to know go travel to the area where you are not blocking.

Work at the site where nobody from your country visits. There are many sites that specifically targets their own country. If you do google search, you may be able to find some sites in other country. The good country however is Japan. Whether you can earn a lot or not depends on the size of market. China is probably the biggest market in the world simply because there are so many people and the proportion of man and woman is skewed due to “one child” government policy. But live adult webcam site is illegal. Thus, there is a risk that the site you work may be shutdown next day. Korea seems to be the second biggest market as they seem to spend a lot on porn. But it is illegal to operate a live adult webcam site in Korea. There is no Korean adult live webcam site exists as of today. Japan is the third largest country in the world in terms of spending on porn. Live webcam site is perfectly legal. There are many sites in Japan.

You may not like it when viewers record your shows and upload them to the internet. you can try hard to get those images taken down. You may be successful to take it down at that time. But the fact is it is already too late. All it needs is one person who copied and saved that video before it is taken down. The video would be uploaded again at other site. There is nothing you can do about it to completely prevent that to happen.
