A new webcam sex site is now online, and it shares a tipping system similar to the one used on Cam4.
The site is fairly new, therefore new girls will not be competing with as many models for customer dollars. This is a great opportunity to make some quick cash.

You can start taking calls within a few hours!
In a past article, I discussed the dilemma faced by some prospective cam girls: privacy.
Being a cam girl is hard work, and it does have a significant impact on both your private and public life. It’s not for everybody.
Another option to explore is starting your own phone sex site. This allows you to make money in the adult industry while maintaining your privacy and confidentiality. The best part is, you can make $100+ dollars per hour once you have built up a loyal customer base. Incoming calls are routed from their service to your home phone, and the user never sees your number – everything is very confidential. This is a great way to work from home.
I found this phone sex provider online, and they offer quite a compelling service. They will set you up with your own phone sex webpage, provide full (and private) call handling and billing for only 30% of sales. They do all the setup work, and you get to keep 70% of the revenue with no upfront cost.
Not a bad deal. And it gets better. You can recruit other girls, list them on your site, and keep 10% of their revenues. Which leads to the next question: where do you get traffic?
If you signup from this link, I will promote your phone sex webpage for free from http://www.webcams411.com
Already working as an independent cam girl? Even better – you already have traffic. Simply add this service as an additional service and make a second income.

These are three traffic sources you should not ignore
Traffic is the secret sauce for any successful independent cam girl. Without it, your career as a webcam sex performer will be very short lived.
The quantity of traffic you can attract is often less important than the quality of said traffic. Better to have 100 visitors who are specifically looking for interactive cam sex than 1000 who are looking for hardcore tube videos.
So where can you find quality traffic that turns into serious sales prospects? We have some answers to share with you.
We own and operate several cam girl portals, mostly for independent cam girls. We get traffic from a number of sources, and analyze each one in order to gauge both quantity and quality. Here are our top 3 traffic sources”
1) Organic search engine traffic
This is a no brainer. When someone searches for “freelance cam girl” or “webcam sex” in Google, the prospect has more than likely already decided that he wants to book a cam girl. This is the best prospect you can hope to get. Your chances of converting this prospect to a sale is better than 50/50.
While search traffic is #1 in terms of productivity, it is also the hardest type of traffic to acquire. The best strategy to get this kind of traffic is to work closely with somebody who has knowledge in search engine optimization when building your website. A little effort up front can pay big dividends down the road.
2) Twitter
Twitter can produce very good results if used correctly. The trick is to build up a list of followers who have an interest in cam girls. This is very easy to do once you know a few tricks.
Step 1 is to choose a Twitter username that gets attention. Choose a name such as “SluttyCamGirl” or “DirtyCamGirl” – something that tell the boys that you’re a very sexy girl offering webcam sex. The name should leave no doubt as to what services you are offering.
The second step is to identify other cam girls with large Twitter followings. Once you have identified a candidate, start following her male followers at a rate of 40 every 8 hours. 40%-60% of them will probably follow you back. Within a few weeks, you should have amassed a decent follower base.
The third step is to engage your Twitter followers. Offer promotions, discounts, status updates, pics etc. Do not over tweet, and only tweet when you are online and available to interact.
3) Facebook
Facebook is another great tool to promote yourself. Create a personal page, and from there create a fan page to brand yourself. Make sure you use the term CAM GIRL in your fan page name.
Once you gain 15 page followers, you will be able to post on other pages using your fan page account. This will bring visitors to your fan page, therefore it’s important to have your website features prominently as a link on your wall.
There is no single holy grail when it comes to traffic generation. The best strategy is to mine several sources all at once, and to focus on those with the best productivity and sales potential.
Is the iPad2 the ultimate webcam sex device
Freelance cam girls take note. The new Apple iPad2 with dual cameras and Facetime may represent a lucrative new market opportunity.
With sales expected to exceed 10 million units a year, this will be a market to big to ignore. This device will lower the technical barriers for webcam sex, making it easier for new customers to connect with your services.
And as always, a freelance cam girl listing on a site such as Webcams411.com will be your gateway to new sales leads.
We are looking forward to evaluating this new platform with an eye on two specific metrics: performance and privacy. The device needs to offer fluid video performance over WIFI using an untraceable IP connection. If both these pre-requisites are met, this device will be a gateway to significant new revenues for independent cam girls.
Erotic Skype conversations can be the perfect gateway to your career as an interactive sex performer
Choosing to become an interactive webcam performer is not an easy decision to make. Cam models need to be confident, articulate and comfortable with their appearance. They also need to understand the wider implications of their career choice – the exhibitionist aspect of their work will have implications on both their public and private lives.
In all aspects of my life, I’ve always elected to take an incremental approach to new ventures. In many circumstances, dipping your toe in the water is a preferable approach to diving in head first. If you are considering a career as a web model, it is possible to use this approach to get a taste of what the industry has to offer.
A majority of freelance cam girls use Skype for their video performances. But why start with video? If you are new to the interactive sex field, why not start with erotic audio conversations over Skype? This will give you a taste of the interpersonal aspect of the work, while helping to maintain a higher degree of anonymity.
If you decide that this line of work is not for you, you can easily walk away. On the other hand, you might discover an under-serviced niche which is easy to exploit. How many other performers offer Skype phone sex? Not many. And it’s a product that would be very popular because enthusiasts could engage in toll free phone sex from anywhere in the world. How’s that for a potential client base!
The real potential here lies in the upsell. If ever you decide to take your career to the next level, you will have an established client base to whom you could sell webcam sex. If they like talking to you, the conversion rate to video chat will be very high.
Now you probably have two questions: how do I start a Skype Phone Sex website, and how to I drive qualified traffic to it?
I will be answering both these questions in my next article. Until then, I want to wish you all a very happy new year.

Good news! Porn is dying and you are the future of online interactive entertainment
I know what your thinking, not another article predicting the end of porn. Well, not so much the end of porn, but rather a major shift in the nature of porn.
Several factors will lead to a major transformation in the adult industry over the next 3 years – and the good news is, cam girls will be the big beneficiaries of this revolution.
The first factor that is leading to the death of porn is the flood of generic “seen it all before” porn on free tube sites. Fans of porn are now skimming tube sites in search of something new and different, and more often than not, they are not finding it. They’ve seen it all before, which makes the content unexciting and bland. Many content producers went under in 2010, and you can expect this trend to accelerate going forward.
The next factor is related to public pressure to better protect the health of adult industry workers. The use of condoms is becoming a big issue in the industry, and 2011 will be the year where safe sex comes of age in the porn industry. This in itself is not a bad thing, as adult performers deserve a safe work environment, just like the general population does. But the press surrounding the issue, and industry resistance to the use of condoms, will sour the image of the adult industry in the eyes of the consumer.
Another factor is government crackdowns on adult entertainment. Already we are hearing stories from the UK on banning online porn, or at the very least, severely restricting it. Add to this the introduction of the .XXX top level domain and you will have the tools in place to enact sweeping censorship. The perfect solution is one that allows adult consumers to enjoy discreet access to online porn while preventing children from being exposed to it. This change will come, but expect some countries to pursue the censorship option, which will be altogether bad for the adult industry.
The final factor is bad news for the porn industry, but great news for cam girls. Bandwidth. Broadband high speed internet is getting faster, and available in more locations. With speed comes functionality. Software such as Skype is using this new found bandwidth to bring video calls to the mainstream, and you can expect others to follow. The porn industry has always been the first to exploit new technologies, and this will be the case once again. I predict that over the next 3 years, prerecorded porn will slowly die off in favor of real time, interactive porn.
This is also the reason why you will no longer be known as a cam girl. You will become an interactive adult performer. You will be in a very unique position to profit from this shift in the adult industry. Success will come to those who offer innovative, real time sex encounters. You cannot think in terms of what webcam sex is today. You need to distinguish yourself with products that are different and exciting. The Big Sister Brothel in Prague does this very well. They operate a brothel where clients can sleep with escorts for free, as long as they agree to having their encounter broadcast live on the internet. As these types of products overcome their growing pains and become mainstream, they will be the next big thing in adult entertainment.
How can you, an independent cam girl, compete? Imagine if you partner with a second cam girl (or guy), set up a small studio with a massage table, and broadcast live erotic massages for an hour a day. Setup four cameras, each running off of their own computer with high speed internet. Charge each customer $2.50 per minute to watch, and you are pulling in $600 per hour. That is a very attractive income for 60 minutes worth of work! And best of all, your product is unique, real time, and impossible for the tube sites to re-create.
The future indeed looks promising for interactive adult performers. Those who recognize the countless opportunities that lie in front of them are going to do very well.

Don’t knock masturbation – it’s safe sex with someone you love!
Just remember - guys come once, she probably came 20 times!
Innovative pricing strategies can offer freelance cam girls a unique competitive advantage
One of the benefits of being a freelance cam girl is the ability to set your own prices and offer special promotions. At $3 per minute, an independent cam girl is earning (and keeping) $180 an hour. This is a generous payout, and one that leaves room for innovative pricing strategies.
Cam girl SexyLilRedhead has introduced a new pricing strategy which I find quite innovative. Trenity offers several pricing tiers depending on the options a customer selects for his show (text, skype sound, telephone sound, etc). Prices range from between $2.49 to $3.49 per minute. The twist is that regardless of which tier the customer selects, the cost per minute falls to $2 per minute after the first 20 minutes.
This approach has several benefits. Most cam shows have a shelf life. If a cam girl is averaging 20 minutes per show, this pricing strategy might help her increase the retention length of her shows. It also rewards her clients for their loyalty and offers a strong incentive for repeat business.
Do you think these type of pricing strategies are a step in the right direction?

Cam girls can increase their income by selling value added services
Starting your own cam girl website is a great way to expand the range of products and services you can offer your clientele. At this point in the game, you’re pretty much an expert when it comes to offering cam shows.
Starting your own website will allow you to book clients and keep a larger portion of your cam profits. But why stop there? Cam girls who host their own websites are in a unique position to sell value added services.
Here are a few ideas:
1) Adult personals
It’s a fact – more people search for the term “Adult Dating” than they do the term “Porn”. People are getting what I call “porn fatigue” and are looking for more interactive online experiences. This is great news for cam girls going forward, and it also presents a unique opportunity.
Several adult dating sites now feature personals that cater to singles and couples who are specifically looking for webcam sex partners. These sites will pay you a commission of between 50%-60% of sales and rebills for customers you refer. All you have to do is add their affiliate code to one of your web pages.
The products should sell very well given your traffic demographics. Two programs to consider are LoadedCash (SexPlayCam) and AdultFriendFinder (HotMatch).
2) Audio Sex Stories
Over time, your clients will develop an emotional connection with you during your cam shows. As they get to know you as a person, they will develop a natural curiosity and want to know more about you. The will want to live out their own sex fantasies vicariously through your experiences. They will, in essence, want to become voyeurs with court side seats on your sex life.
Recording a series of audio diaries and selling the episodes online via your website is a great way to upsell to existing clients. Simply record the stories, store them on your website in MP3 format, and sell them using an AlertPay shopping cart. Easy money from a product that cannot be found anywhere else!
If you want to see some examples of how these strategies can be integrated into your own website, visit www.sexylilredhead.com – Trenity has already incorporated Adult Personals into her website, and is currently working on her Audio Sex Stories.
As always, we can help any webcam girl build her own website and recommend strategies to help her get more traffic and sales. Please refer to the top of my blog page for more information.
Getting your own website is easier than you think
Looking to dip your toe into the freelance cam girl market? Great! Setting up a hosting account only takes a few minutes and is a great way to increase your potential earnings.
The first step is to get a web hosting account. While there are hundreds of hosting companies to choose from, very few will allow adult content, therefore you need to select your hosting provider carefully. Here are some important factors to consider:
1) Price
You should never pay more than $10 a month for web hosting, and in many cases, that figure will be much closer to $5 per month.
2) Storage and bandwidth
Increasingly, hosting companies are removing caps and introducing plans with unlimited storage and bandwidth. This is important if you ever want to host your own chatroom or video content
3) Support
When you get in touch with your hosting providers help desk, it’s nice to know that someone will pick up the call in a timely manner.
4) Performance
Your website needs to be fast. When a user visits, if your site is not on the screen in 3 seconds, you will loose that potential customer. Larger web hosting companies tend to have faster servers – stick with them if you can.
So who do we recommend? Well, we put our money where our mouth is – Host Gator is our top pick. It is the hosting service that runs Adult Webcams 411 as well as this blog. They are one of the 10 biggest hosting companies in the world, have super fast servers, and most important of all, they are adult content friendly.
Their web hosting plans start at only $5 per month for unlimited storage and bandwidth. If you sign up using our link, you can get a fully customized cam girl site installed for only $129 (see Sexy Lil Redhead for a sample of my work). You new cam girl site will also be listed on Webcams411.com for free, therefore you get instant traffic. Send us an email at trade@webcams411.com for more information regarding this offer.
Getting your own website can open many new doors in terms of revenue potential. Let us help you maximize your cam girl earnings.
