The No-Nonsense Guide to Webcam Modeling
Camgirl (Cam-girl, chat model, or cam-whore) is an Internet term for women who are featured on webcams. The word is used for women who earn money by broadcasting, entertaining, and performing on webcams either from homes or studios.
– Wikipedia
I would add my personal definition. A camgirl (webcam model) is a human being with a job title. It’s like asking what a teacher is. A teacher is a person who teaches. A camgirl is a woman who cams.
[wp-svg-icons icon=”forward” wrap=”i”]It should be noted that the definition of “camboy” is the same – just swap out women for men. Throughout the site the term “camgirl” will be used, but keep in mind that camgirl and camboy are for the most part interchangeable. 
Of course, “to cam” is a verb that is most commonly used within the camming industry; perhaps it should be considered camgirl jargon. To cam is to get on cam. This is what a camgirl does. This is the broadcasting part of Wikipedia’s eloquent definition.
A camgirl is either brilliant and making a lot of money while on cam, or she is not-so-bright and masturbates for pennies (or free) only to find videos of herself plastered all over the Internet and then wonder how they got there.
Get it? The videos plastered all over the Internet is a fear a lot of potential camgirls have voiced, but that doesn’t generally happen to smart camgirls.
[wp-svg-icons icon=”forward” wrap=”i”]If you want to be a camgirl, I will help you be a smart one.
And so we get to entertaining. A camgirl entertains, generally by being herself. Some camgirls entertain with games or dancing or teasing or just chatting. The smart camgirl gains paying customers by engaging her guests and making herself likeable and entertaining.
When the entertaining part of that definition is successful it will lead to the performance. This is where a camgirl makes her money. A good performance leads to a regular customer, which leads to regular income.
We’ll talk more about each of these aspects of what a camgirl is and does throughout O Camgirl.
On to the final part of eloquent Wikipedia’s definition. Fact: most camgirls work from home. There are studios that offer camgirls a physical location to cam from – a nice space and equipment – in exchange for a portion of her income. There are also virtual studios, which we’ll talk about in the future.

Im a bbw and kinda scared and shy and was wondering on a site that pays and wont stear me wrong
Hi Abigail,
Your reservations are quite normal! I would definitely recommend checking out Chaturbate as a starting point. It’s great for beginners. If you need any other help please let me know.
Cat
Hey I was wondering if there’s a site for plus size girls? I am 5’7 215lbs and I’m told I’m attractive. Love make up etc. Would guys be interested? How should I go about this? Thank you
Hey Loelle,
You can do well in the BBW category on any of the top recommended sites. You’ll find there are plenty of customers looking for big beautiful women like yourself.
Cat
I would like to know how to get started
For any one nervous about starting to get naked on cam. I suggest start only doing shows that do not show your face. It is much easier to get naked and masturbate online if you do it that way. Of course it helps if you have a good body do clients will have that to focus on.Just do your first shows like this and then decide if you would like to continue caming or not.
Hi Cat! I just wanted to say that your article was really informative, I was curious about the profession as I’ve always appreciated camgirls for their confidence. I have a pretty good self esteem but I don’t think I have enough to put myself out there like they do, haha. Thank you for the informative article, have a nice day/night/etc.
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to comment. I think you’d be surprised how many of us start out from a place of lower self esteem – camming really builds confidence. Anyway, thank you so much for reading and have a nice day/night/etc yourself!
Cat
Thank you for this website! It is so awesome to find good information. I am a lactating, curvy woman. Is there a cam site that deals with fetishes? I have sold a few videos one on one to clients, but that has been the limit of my experience so far. Thanks in advance. I’d like to be a fetish cam girl! I also have lots of bdsm costuming.
You’re well equipped to carve out a niche on any of the major sites. Fetishes like these are huge everywhere! I recommend checking out Chaturbate (here’s our review) and let me know if I can be of any assistance. Thanks for reading! -Cat
Hii! On what websites do u work? I used livejasmin but i didnt make so much money…
Hey Diana,
One site I’d recommend checking out is Chaturbate. Here’s some more info. Let me know if you need anything else!
Cat
I’m happily married with a family. But sneaking away to an audience that tell me I’m sexy…and does so by providing an income boost sounds amazing. Is the undercover can wife something that can sell an audience?
Absolutely. However I would recommend this be an act only, as you will need your partner’s support on this venture.
Hello Cat
Thank you for clearing up the misconception on cam girls i actually desire to be a cam girl and have friends who revealed to me that they are cam girls they are legal age themselves and I will come back in a year when I become 18.
Hi,
Im interested in camming, but I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be good at it. I have a fairly attractive body and im quite charismatic, but I have disability. I was born with one finger on each hand, and I just don’t think people would be interested in watching me.
Yes, people would be interested in watching you. However, you may not appeal to a mainstream audience. That being said, you could probably do quite well as a fetish model. I don’t mean related to your disability, either. If you’re conventionally attractive, and offer a niche product, people interested in that fetish (or those fetishes – most fetish models do several) will be more than happy to overlook your hand situation. Just consider the kind of porn you like, and if there’s a particular paraphelia you’re into (BDSM, Roleplay, FemDom, JOI, or whatever); think about how you could use that to your advantage. It goes without saying to make sure whatever you do is cool with the site you’re using, of course.
If that doesn’t appeal to you, then by all means give it a shot on the popular sites. I don’t mean to suggest that you can’t succeed on MFC or Chaturbate, merely that it may be harder to build a following. I’d expect some additional hurdles, especially early on, and be braced for some very rude assholes in chat (this is the internet). In the end, if webcam modelling is what you want to do, then you should absolutely fucking do it.
I believe it wouldn’t matter to some There are fetichists out there who would like to have you camming and make of your disability something sexy or other kind of roleplay (and trolls as well so you gotta have authority and don’t let them bother your chatroom & spirit).
If you feel like camming, then I think you should do it.
Hi Cat! I’m a thirteen year old girl. I really don’t want to make it seem like I’m bragging, but my breasts are surprisingly big for my age. I’ve been considering being a cam girl when my parents are out. I am fine with flirting, and giving a little nip slip here or there, but I would absolutely hate to have to masturbate or show off my vagina on camera. Do you think I could be a cam girl without doing these things? If so, where should I go? And could I make money at such a young age? Thanks so much!
Hi! Camming is adult work, and you won’t be able to do anything until you are legal age where you live (likely eighteen). Come back in five years!
Well, until you are 18 you will not be allowed on cam. And that is normal, you should be going out and playing with your friends at this age You do need to be older and realise the power of internet and self-image. It is not so easy to accept your new ‘role’ in the society, and it is definitely not that secret once you’re out there and active.
If you were 18 and older, I think you can make money doing shows only topless, but people will always wait on you for more and ask and it will be irritating for you, and I don’t think you can make enough to make a living of it that way
I hope I was clear, and please dear, enjoy your teen years
I suppose I could be called an aspiring camgirl. I want to use camming to get out of my current field of work and get myself through college to ultimately move on to a new professional career outside of the sex industry. How do you think I can protect myself so that my professional career isn’t jeapordized in the future? I have another question. I feel comfortable chatting, flirting, wearing lingere, displaying my breasts, and even engaging in nonsexual fetish behaviors; but I’m not yet comfortable with the idea of masturbating or having sex on camera. Are there certain sites you can recommend for this? Thank you for being up front, real and honest. I really appreciate your website!
Hi! If you see yourself working in a very public professional field or with children in the future, you need to seriously weigh the potential risks and benefits of a camming career to get you there. You can protect yourself with these tips, but your privacy is never 100% guaranteed so has to be up to your discretion. Your other question – you never need to perform any acts you’re uncomfortable with on cam! Any of the top sites for beginners will be fine (eg. Flirt4Free, Chaturbate…), as long as you are straight with your audience about what you will and won’t do when they pay you. I’m happy to hear that you’ve found O Camgirl helpful, and all the best to ya Love, Cat
Aloha cat! Thank you for all your amazing advise. I have not started a cam career yet but it is in the front of my foresight, very soon, and I’d like to be a good one. If you we’re inspired to email me, I’d love to chat. Thanks!
Thanks for your kind comment Newgirl You are always welcome to contact me or leave comments and I’ll gladly answer any questions. Take it easy.
Why do you pussyfoot around the most important aspect of being a cam performer: you’re a sex worker? R-rated or XXX-rated, you’re selling sexuality, most likely by performing sexual acts that appeal to your chosen audience?
Hi Robert! Thanks for your comment. I appreciate you bringing it to my attention that camgirls are sex workers. I did mention that they generally masturbate on cam in this article, but you seem not to have read that bit. That’s okay. One of my personal links will direct you to more information on sex work. Cheers.
Even as a female, I don’t know what cam girl is all about and yes, I am also guilty of assuming that they are desperate girls. After browsing your website and landed on this page, I have learned a few things about this profession and will keep in mind that it’s a career that can empower (and not exploit) women.
Thanks for sharing the information.
It’s a common misconception based on a stereotype that stems back to illegal forms of prostitution, where women were (and in some parts of the world, still are) exploited because they had no other options. Girls that try webcam modeling out of desperation don’t generally succeed because their guests can see right through that. I wasn’t out of options when I started camming, but I was sick of working for other people. This seemed like a good fit, and I was right. I love my job
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
To complete your comment, it doesn’t mean some camgirls aren’t depserate and out of options. But it doesn’t mean either that being an accountant, a waitress, an engineer or ANY OTHER JOB prevent anyone to be desperate, out of options & have daddy issues
Camgirl is a job, if you like it, like any other jobs, than you’re happy If you don’t, like any other job, you crawl each morning to get to work and you’re miserable. I hope you see what I mean
Absolutely Alice! That’s exactly the point I was trying to make with that. I can see that I was probably a little biased with my comments, so thank you for adding your thoughts. Have a good one! Cat
I do not trust most of the stuff on Wikipedia as they can easily be edited by anyone. So false information and misconceptions can easily be viewed to so many people.
As long as you fight for the rights of your profession, other cam girls will look up to you for inspiration, good luck
This is true, Glen. I found this definition simple and true enough so decided to work with it for that reason. I won’t be making a habit of turning to Wikipedia for information, but maybe inspiration. Also, thanks for the encouraging comment. All the best
Hello Cat,
You should be careful to not get US-centric. For instance, worldwide most girls operate from studios, not from home.
As for Wikipedia: the peer review is very very good on the bigger ones, like the English, French, German and Dutch versions of Wikipedia. Trolling is dealt with in minutes if not faster.
I love your forum/blog/website.
My background: all round computer expert and formerly webmaster for escorts.
As such, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to deal with the creepy guys that turn up now and then.

Hi Henkie,
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the subject. Much appreciated. Best, Cat

The allure of becoming a cam model understandable. Especially when you log into MyFreeCams or Chaturbate and see models being showered with ridiculous amounts of tips.
You can’t help but think, “I could totally do that!”
Sorry, it’s not as easy as you think.
This guide will share the pitfalls and useful suggestions to help you on your way to becoming a successful cam girl/guy.
We don’t always have the luxury of working at what we adore. However, like any job, if there’s not at least a spark of interest, it will become … a job – the soul-sucking kind.
Considering how many hours you’re going to have to spend on your cam model career, make sure you like what you’re doing.
Your major income is a long-term goal, not a short one (and this means upwards of years, not weeks).
You are entering the adult industry.
And while you might be completely comfortable with it, not everyone will share the same opinion. 
First, before you even buy a webcam, make 100% sure you are prepared for the risk of being outed to your friends, family, or employer. Make sure your spouse or partner knows about it, is comfortable with it, and also accepts the risks. After all, it will affect them too.
It’s not a certainty that the two halves of your life will collide, but treat it like the inevitable (even if it’s not).
There are studios that you can go to. They are connected to many streaming sites, have premade sets you can work from, and have people there who have been in the industry for years.
More often than not, the studio scene is FULL of scams. I’d honestly recommend signing up to the sites independently and doing the whole thing on you own (while using cam girl forums as support).
Here’s an excellent article about scams.
There are plenty to choose from, so it’s going to take a fair amount of research to find the one that’s best for you. You should also be asking yourself these questions as your deciding…
For example, many sites can take upwards of 60% of your tips. But before you freak out, remember, they have to make money too, and they are providing a platform for you to perform.
Here are some site examples via Webcamstartup.com
I would suggest visiting them directly because there’s way more information to be found.
There is nothing more valuable than someone who’s been in the industry a while.
Join a few cam communities – these are forums or groups for JUST cam girls/guys to share ideas, rant, offer support, or give advice. And, if you happen to find someone who’s willing to personally mentor you, congrats! They are worth their weight in gold.
Don’t go around begging for one-on-one time to everyone you come across. These people are (or should be) busy too and they will get annoyed if you’re asking questions that have been asked a million times before and are already posted on a hundred discussions.
“Eg. What equipment do I need?” or “How do I get paid?” will be answered with a sigh and “Google it.”
Show initiative and gain as much knowledge as you can on your own first.
It’s NOT a “build it and they will come” situation where you open your site and piles money falls into your lap.
Like any business, it will take TIME (both long-term and in daily hours) and you will have to put in the work – you’ll hear about “paying your dues”, and it’s 100% true. Be prepared for ups and downs – lots of money one day and nearly nothing the next, or worse, weeks of nothing.
BE PREPARED FOR A SEA OF COMPETITION
It doesn’t matter how hot, talented, or inventive you are, there are literally millions of bodies out there with a webcam.
How do you handle this and set yourself apart?
NOTE: It’s also important to be fluid and adaptable, maybe your current ideas aren’t working. It’s okay to change your style or approach. Remember, there will be a lot of trial and error.
Example, one really successful cam model on MFC was a mime. Viewers absolutely loved her.
I’m sorry to say that, sometimes, cam models can have the reputation for being flakes or untrustworthy in their services.
Some clients don’t care and are just interested in the fantasy and show, but others DO care.
It’s not to say that you have to love every masturbation, and will need to fake the Big O more than once, but if a guy is paying to control your sex toy, and you don’t actually have it on … well …
Should you choose to walk down the slippery slope, remember, clients talk about cam models as much as models gossip about clients.
You don’t have to chat with viewers, but, in my opinion, it goes a long way to connecting with your audience and building your brand. Some people honestly want a human connection and that alternate avenue of interaction.
Whether it’s 5 minutes or 1 hour, set aside a bit of time to chat.
Just like any business, have everything set up BEFORE you open the doors. Also, put up a banner advertising you’re a new model. This should help generate some initial traffic.
There will be time wasters, trolls, and aggressors that just want to be terrible. Learn to grow some thick skin, brush off their comments, a ban whoever is ruining the environment.
Also, be prepared for some over-the-top perverse comments that might not land within your comfort zone. It’s best to just brush them off with a smile.
Most of your income will come from regulars – and it’s a lot of work to get them.
Also, don’t just jump on Twitter just before your show. Build anticipation throughout the day to get customers riled up.
Don’t buy a cheap webcam right off the bat. Wait until you can afford to invest $100-$200 in a good Logitech. The same goes for clothes or a background.
If you’re going to use sex toys, DON’T BUY CHEAP ONES. Very often they can contain toxic chemicals (especially jelly). Stick to medical great silicone or other body-safe materials.
