I recently got an email from a reader and it got me thinking about why I started this site and it got me thinking about why I blog about what I do and why I think girls who work from home/work online/cam should all help each other out.
I think the reason that camgirls/models in general don't help each other out is down to two things: first because in a lot of ways we have no idea what the hell we are doing when we start. I know I didn't. And compared to girls who have been really, really successful at camming, I probably still don't know much. Second, we see other girls as our competition. We know a guy opens MFC and sees that big page of girls load up and it's intimidating, unless you are one of the power cammers at the top. Or on MGF when a guy clicks on the girls page, we all wonder if he just doesn't skip immediately to to the Featured Girls page.
There's also a third thing in there, I bet. How tiring is it when a new girl pops up all cheery and new and excited and asks the same ten stupid questions that every noob asks? But back to my main point:
Why should we work together? There are two main reasons: first while in some ways we are in competition with each other, in many more ways we are all unique, as are our customers. (Okay maybe that's giving them more credit than they deserve.) But the custies that you will make the most off of, and develop the best relationships with are the ones who have a specific like in mind, a specific fetish, type or kind of play and you are the girl who does it better than any other girl they've ever come across (cum across? LOL.) This is why it's important to find an identity that suits you and market yourself appropriately.
I know that's not earth shaking stuff. But I think this is:
Guys have all kinds of interests from the vanilla to the most disgusting kind of chocolate, if you know what I mean, and there is no use trying to develop a guy into a customer if he isn't crazy about your thing. However, in addition to being crazy about you, you need to get guys USED TO THE IDEA OF PAYING FOR ACCESS TO YOU.
Does that sound whorey? Well it IS the point of working online, guys want access to you, and are willing to pay. The more you help educate new girls, the less time guys will spend looking for freebies or plying rip off scams and more time paying what you are worth for the unique, exotic entertainment you provide them.
