Web cam models are often an outlet for exploring different fetishes and kinks so it helps to know how to work with your kinky customers. Very quickly you will find out that many customers have very specific scenes in mind that are not mainstream, many you’ve never even heard of!

Instead of turning down customers with unusual tastes, its best to learn about them to help you develop regulars. Many web cam models actually prefer working with certain fetish customers because the requests seem easy, even silly at times. Who wouldn’t want to spend 20 min, 30 min, even an hour or two with a customer who simply wants to admire your feet or watch you eat pie? It gives you a break from the sometimes tiring work of direct sexual stimulation. Plus, if you do it well, you will gain a regular customer.

The best thing you can do to keep these customers is to do your research.You don’t need to read stacks of books on BDSM, but it is helpful to become familiar with the most popular fetishes by doing a basic google search. You can also find a lot of information out by just asking your customer. Some will be happy to walk you through it or send you a private message with details of what they want. But don’t rely too much on this method. If a customer with a popular fetish can go to someone else who is experienced, he will. It’s just less hassle for the customer.

So what is the most popular fetish? There are some that are considered more mainstream: Foot fetish, humiliation, and role play. You will immediately come across these if you have decent traffic. Otherwise, it will vary on your look, where you advertise and the amount of traffic you have. Obviously, the more traffic you have, the more you will come across. If you have a dominate look you will get plenty of customers asking to be your slave! If you have a soft, submissive look, you might get different kinds of requests which fit your persona. If you fall somewhere in between, be prepared for anything.

You also need to do research in order to learn what you feel comfortable doing. You shouldn’t force yourself to fulfill everyone’s desires at the expense of your own comfort. Some fetishes will seem bizarre to you, but doable and others will make you feel uncertain and nervous or turned off. For example, a customer wants you to tickle your belly button with a feather. No big deal, right? You might think you have this fetish thing down and can do anything. The next customer asks you to pretend to be his sister! Maybe you are okay with this and play along, it is only play, after all. Or perhaps, you have siblings and this role playing scene makes you very uncomfortable. Do you see where research helps in this situation? If you know what kinds of role play are out there you are able to tell your customer what you do and what you won’t do, saving time and awkward moments for both of you.

1. How to Promote Webcam Shows on Twitter – 6 Simple Steps
2. Cam Girl Site Will Not Survive Without Back Links

Being independent webcam model, I am a frequent user of twitter. I write an average of 10 tweets a day (communicating with my fans and other webcam models) and considering I am not on my computer for more than 7 hours a day I have found a great way to keep tweeting and have those tweets get the most impact even when I am not around.

I use an online program called Timely to manage my tweets.

The site is simple, just like twitter. Same look and feel. Once you signup and authorize Timely to speak with your twitter account it runs a report for you based on the last 199 tweets you published and gathers some data for you.

This report will show show you what posts had the most impact and what time they were viewed at.

It also shows all the retweets on that post and all your replies as well.

It is a great snap shot of your twitter account!

When Timely has figured out what times your post have hit their highest impact you can then enter your tweets into the application. Timely will then post it for you at those time intervals.

Another great tool is, Timely makes it easy to post by adding the tool to your bookmarks. Say I want to post a twitter announcement about my new blog post. I simply go to my blog post or website and open my Timely queue. Up comes a box entering the relevant information for you. All you have to do is hit Submit and it will be posted on your twitter.

If you want to add tags or more description you can edit the premade post to your liking.

You have a choice of either posting now or add to queue. This is your next high impact time.

When your done You can view your scheduled posts and reports.

On your dashboard it will show you all the tweets you have in your queue. You can also view your performance. Here is where it will show you every tweet you made.

The top line shows you a snap shot. An overall picture of performance. How many tweets have been published since you joined Timely. How many Retweets and how many people you reached.

Then below that a breakdown of every tweet. If you had a link in your tweet it shows how many clicks were made to that link. Who Retweeted your tweet. And how many people it reached.

I was amazed to see the performance. I had no idea the impact my twitter account really had.

In one week out of 26 Tweets I have reached 41,184 potential clients, Had 16 Retweets. And some posts which contain links have been clicked on 383 times!

Not only is this tool efficient for just your every day tweeting. But having the important tweets posted at high impact times really pays off.

So Happy Tweeting Ladies!!

Independent webcam models have the advantage here since they are able to set their own schedules and are not dependent on the approval of a major webcam site. Offering this new service as one of your many services is extremely easy. You simply need to install the right app for Skype on your iPhone and you can broadcast your show from anywhere you are comfortable with.

You can still charge via your billing providers as always. You still use skype as your platform only now you are no longer bound to your studio.

Why does this new form of webcam girl show broadcasting work so well?

This new cam girl broadcasting system opens up a few more niches to you. Think outdoors, paddle pumping, public humiliation, financial domination for shopping slaves, foot fetish and more. You can take your client on a fetish and seductive slut adventure which will have him coming back for more.

Now more stagnation during your shows! Your background changes constantly, which give a little bit of added spice to your shows and show off your versatility and quick thinking.

Did you know that currently less than 10% of webcam models offer this wonderful service? Big mega webcam sites have not added this service as far as I know at all, nor do I foresee them doing so in the near future. Only 10%! This means if you add this now, you are getting in on the ground floor level and potentially give your own independent webcam model business a huge boost. It also means you have a big draw over mega webcam girl sites at a low budget.

Time for action is now Ladies!

Don’t wait, don’t hesitate. This is not a huge money investment or even difficult to do. Add yourself to the top money making models now by staying up to date and in trend. Very important as an intelligent, sexy and successful super star model which you thrive to be.

It was a nice surprise that left me with warm feelings and I thought how important it is when cam girls show such little signs of appreciation to their fans. It takes only few minutes to produce such a fan sign and it will make your fans 10 times loyal. After seeing fan sign with his name, the fan feels personally connected to the model and will be willing to spend more buying a cam show, something from the wish list or vote for the model in the contest.

To produce a fan sign all you need is:

1. Dry Erase Board – 8.5 x 11 inches should be enough. You can get it on Amazon.com for just $6
2. Dry Erase Markers – although dry erase board will come with a marker, you want to have markers of different colors
3. Digital cam or web cam to take a picture

So if you want to have loyal fan base spoil your fans with personal fan signs and they will be spending $$$ for their favorite model in return

P.S. If you don’t mind, vote for Bella Bellini here! You see how her fan sign worked on me?

But first a little bit of theory. There are two types of links – text and image. You need to hunt for the text links because they are very good for search engines like Google. When Google sees text link pointing to your site it starts showing your site in search results (when somebody types certain phrase in Google). This can bring you tones of FREE traffic.

The process of getting text links to your site is very easy. All you need to do is find other sites that somehow related to your site and exchange links with them. By exchanging links I mean when site that you found puts text link pointing to your site and your site has link to that site in return. It may sound all complicated so let me show you exactly step by step how to get text link to your site. It’s going to take you only few minutes

Go to webcams411.com . As you can see this website is related to webcam modeling – exactly what you need. It has reviews of some webcam sites and also features independent cam girls. If you scroll down a little you’ll see the section called “Freelance Webcam Sex Girls who run their own websites”:

As you can see this section has links to independent cam girls sites. At the bottom of this section you can see this message:

This means that the site owner offers you to exchange links. All you need to do is send him an email to specified email address where you should specify what text you want to use for the link (in most cases it could be your website name) and address of your website (URL). For example in this section you can see a link with the text “Cam Girl Nikki” that points to http://camgirlnikki.com/ .

Note that this kind of sites like webcams411.com will ask you to put a link back to them. You can put this link in the sidebar or on special “Friends” page.

Conclusion

Getting links to your site is one of the most important factors that determines either your site will succeed or will be dead like many other sites in the Internet. So if you decided to run your own site make sure you constantly hunt for the links. There are tones of other sites like webcams411.com that offer link exchanges. Just make sure that the site you exchange links with is clean without crazy popups and some other “stinky” stuff.

3. How To Get Contact Info For Other Cam Girl Sites

1. Search Engines Traffic

Search engines can bring you crazy amount of traffic. But for this to work your site has to be constantly updated with the new content that should combine text, pictures and video. Blogs are ideal for this since the whole nature of blog is to be regularly updated with short text stories and search engines just love them.

Although for search engines it’s not enough to keep your site regularly updated. You need to have links pointing to your site from other popular sites. Only then search engine will take your site seriously and show it higher in search results.

2. Links From Other Sites

As I mentioned above having links to your site plays very important role for search engines. But these links also bring you traffic from people who actually click it. The most affective and valuable links are text links and not banner ones. People are so used to banners these days that they just ignore it.

There are many ways to get text links from popular sites. For example you could have a review on a popular site that features cam models. Review will be in the form of text article with your picture or video. This article will link to your site in multiple places and you will get two wins at once: fresh traffic from those who read the review and clicked your link plus search engine will notice these links and take your site more seriously.

3. Mailing List

You should build mailing list from the very 1st day you start your site. Email is the most affective way to reach your fans. They most likely will read your emails because they intentionally gave their email addresses to you. You should put sign up form on some prominent place on your site and encourage your visitors to sign up. The more your web site exists the bigger mailing list becomes. With thousands of email addresses in your possession you can be sure to make money with every email you send out to the list. For example once a month you can send out an email announcing a feature show with link to your site where they can easily buy it. Suddenly hundreds fans will click that link and get to your site and most likely some of them will buy the show.

4. Be Active On Social Networks

You should be active at least on two the most popular social networks – Twitter and Facebook. Your site name must be present in your social network’s profile and any new updates you post to your site should be shared there. Once you build a big following on social networks your updates will become viral which will bring you a good traffic. For example let’s say you  have 3000 followers on Twitter and you sent out a tweet with URL to your new video. It gets re-twitted by your fans and friends of your fans start watching this video and some of them become your new fans. These new fans will find out about your site through your profile or tweets. The same thing happens on Facebook. The key is to keep your fans active by spoiling them with some free content like pictures and videos.

5. Watermarking Content

You should watermark your pictures and video with your site name in it (that’s why it’s so important to have short and easy to remember domain name). This way you can get free traffic from those who view your pictures and video. But to get this traffic you need to promote your picture and video  content mostly through social networks. For example you can post non-nude video on YouTube or share your picture/video on Twitter and Facebook.

Conclusion

If you decided to run your own web site you got to realize that online marketer should become your second job. It will be tough at the beginning but once it starts working you’re going to be surprised with the results. So you’d better love being marketer of your site.

Do you use any other ways to get traffic to your site?

1. You Will Need To Invest Money Into Web Site Setup And Design

Membership site software is not cheap. If you want to build a top notch membership site expect to spend $3,000-$4,000 for the set up and design. There are cheaper options of course but they will require more of your time and effort. Or you can use video chat solutions that charge you around $200 a month for using their video chat platform and you’ll still have to build a website around them. The point is you got to invest money to have membership site.

2. Filling Your Membership Site With Content Will Cost You

You can’t start membership site without having pretty solid amount of content in membership area. This content should combine high quality pictures and videos. It’s almost impossible to produce this content all by yourself which means that you’ll have to hire professional photographer for this. And it’s going to cost you money as well.

3. Lack Of Traffic

Ok, so finally you’ve got your membership site out. You’ve spent money on setting it up, design and filling your site with content. If you expect to start getting paying members right away you will be very disappointed. It’s just doesn’t happen this way when tones of people start hitting your site right after it went life. Your site will be one of many thousands other similar solo girl sites out there. You’ll have to work your butt off to promote it in order to get some traffic to your new site. In many cases you’ll need to pay for the traffic in terms of buying advertisement on other sites and Google. And only fraction of this traffic will buy the membership. Don’t be surprised when it will take weeks! to sell a membership for the first time.

Conclusion

As you can see it’s not wise to start from membership site once you decide to be independent cam girl. Your membership site won’t survive taking into account the amount of competition out there, amount of money you invest and no return for long time. The smartest way is to build up a large fan base first and then build a membership site selling memberships to your hungry, ready to buy everything from you fans.

Solution

To build a large fan base you do need to work hard promoting yourself on cam networks, social networks like Facebook and Twitter, forums, etc. And you do need to have a web site which in contrast with membership site shouldn’t charge anything. You should keep it updating with teasing content and more and more funs will stick around it. Because you don’t charge anything to access your site you shouldn’t worry about professional design and quality of the content. You won’t have to spend thousands of dollars for professional design and photographers. You will be able to shoot it all by yourself with regular digital camera and camcorders. Blogs are perfectly suited for all these needs. They are easy to setup and it’s very easy to publish your content with blogs. If you haven’t started your blog yet, do it now and start becoming independent cam girl.

3. 3 Reasons Why Cam Girls Should Switch To iPhone 4

First of all you need to have your own web site on your own domain name. You don’t want to send traffic to other sites. The best type of web site for this is Blog. Why blog? Because if you run your blog it means you update it regularly with text content (along with pictures and videos). And search engines love text, because this is what people use to make searches, right?

So assuming you have your own blog, here is how to perform SEO:

1. Find Relevant Keywords You Want To Optimize Your Blog For

You need to have a list of 20-30 keywords that are relevant to your blog. To find these keywords you should use Google AdWords Keyword Tool. It’s FREE and very effective. Just enter some keyword relevant to your blog, type characters you see in the picture  and click “Get keyword ideas” button. Make sure you checked “Include adult content in my keyword results”  in “Filter my results” option:

You need to look for those keywords that have Monthly Search Volume between 5,000 – 15,000. F’or example “asian girl fucking” has 9,900 monthly search volume and “asian teen fucking” has 4,400 (which is not that bad either). The point is you need to find as many such keywords as you can (e.g 20-30)

2. Check Competition For Every Found Keyword

To find the competition you go to Google and put every found keyword into search. If you are getting not more than 2 millions results this is the keyword you should use for SEO. For example “asian girl fucking” has only 2,900,000 results so you should put this keyword on your list:

As result you should get about 10-15 keywords that have pretty good search volumne and very little competition.

3. Use Found Keywords In Your Posts

You should always put one keyword in the title of the post and then use different variations of this keyword within the post’s body. Just don’t put too many keywords (Google doesn’t like it). Write your post for humans not for search engines. Try to keep every article at least 200 words long.

4. Get As Many Links To Your Blog As You Can Using Found Keywords
