The struggle is real.
Post Body

What advice would you give a model that’s been doing this for 2.5 years and still struggles to get traffic into her room? (Without giving away too much for free, I mean.) I’m considering lowering some of my prices. I don’t sit there and play on my phone. I’ve started using OBS for a better quality stream. I’m active on social media, but I keep my twitter and Instagram private rather than public due to harassment from a local stalker. (Don’t ask.) I really love what I do, and the occasional good nights make me feel so so good about myself. It’s important that I can provide for my children from home, I don’t have any help with childcare so getting a vanilla job outside of the home is less than ideal — I need to be here when my kids get home from school. Sorry I’m rambling now...I’ve had some amazing big tippers in the past who eventually disappeared. 2017 was my year and I feel like a failure and definitely take it personally that I’m not doing as well as I once did. Just kinda hoping someone can help me toss some ideas around for getting my name out there. The loyal regulars I do have are some really amazing humans and I adore them but unfortunately, they don’t contribute enough to keep me afloat anymore.

First of all, don't give up! It sounds like you are really passionate, hard-working, and knowledgeable. That puts you 5 steps ahead of a lot of cammers (like the ones always using their phone). I would start by simply refreshing your cam room/area. Do you have natural light available? Lighting is everything and good lighting makes a huge difference to viewers. I try to use as much natural light as possible, without keeping my blinds wide open, in addition to a small rechargable camera light that I got fairly cheap on Amazon ($30 maybe?). I also rotate through a few different tapestries that I've collected over time and sometimes have Christmas lights up. Set your stage: that's what your cam area technically is. For a long time, I struggled with chasing that ideal standard definition of beauty and what a good cam room 'should' look like. I've be seeing more success as I let that go and try more and more to create a space in which my auidence can experince something unique. I am the continuous factor on my stream but what I do every day and the place I set up is always evolving. I have the freedom to use my whole lil 2 bedroom apartment to do this now and that certainly helps. But even if you're confined to a single space, I recommend surrounding yourself with a few items that really bring you Joy and also allow you to have something to talk about or create common interests with your audience (pop culture references like pillows or posters; a stack of books you've been wanting to read; lovely litttle plants; an awesome lamp; your favorite pair of heels). Make your cam room your happy place, not just somewhere you have to be sitting and waiting for an audience. Try to make that space wholly unique and the experience you provide the same. Too many of us camgirls fall into routine, doing the same thing every day in the same space. And, further, we fall susceptible to wanting to do and look like what is already achieving success in this industry. However, what people are looking for is something different, unique, fun, and original. And, further, accepting that success can be achieved only in the ways it always has, denies every single one of us the possibility of finding new ways to be successful. Sorry if these are obvious things but from your post it sounds like you're looking to rebrand or shake things up & these are ways in which I've done the same recently.
