Become A BBW Cam Model

 

Many people see that question and they misinterpret what BBW actually means. I have heard so many variations on it. Big Breasted Woman, Big Black Woman. . . the list goes on. What in fact BBW means is Big Beautiful Woman. And the big beautiful women are loved.

You don't have to be built like Barbie to make money as a web cam model. You don't have to be tall or blond. Men love a little bit of curve in a woman. Some of the funnest women on cam are curvy and fun. A killer smile and the right outfit can make you a total web cam modeling star.

This goes back to one of my previous blogs about webcam modeling. Customers love realism. They love when the web cam model has the appearance of someone real. Yes, there are completely picture perfect models online who make a killing because they are an unattainable fantasy, but there are just as many models online who give the customers a sense of someone they might actually be able to meet in real life. The model may remind them of someone they know or knew. The model may not be out of the customer's league. No, you will never meet that customer, but you can create a storyline for them or a theme for them. You also have to remember that just like every model is different, every customer is different.

Internetmodeling also has a BBW category. This particular site actually has the largest number of BBW models on it. Internetmodeling also has their models appear on a very large list of cam type sites. So, the exposure you get as a BBW is increased and your visibility to customers looking for just that is increased. It becomes quite easy for you to connect with customers interested in just that.

Remember, whoever you are and whatever your features are, there is room for you on cam. Nobody is excluded, and everybody can make money. The amount of money you make is up to you. It actually depends on your personality and how well you connect with customers. A big problem with some of the picture perfect looking models is they have personalities of rocks. Yes, I said it - they are like rocks. They care only about themselves, and just sit there waiting for money to come in from customers. The look you have, while it might not be perfect for everyone, it is perfect for some people. And when they find you online, and you win them over with fun, upbeat, flirty conversation, not only will you see the money come rolling in, but you will also get the ego boost of your life. Sometimes, the compliments and uplifting comments actually become just as valuable as the money.

What Webcam Modeling Sites Get The Most Traffic?

Knowing what sites are very important in determining what sites you sign up for. Obviously, the more traffic, the more money you will make. There are a number of sites available to look at how different sites rank in the world of the internet. One good way to see what sites are getting traffic is by looking on http://www.alexa.com/.

Internetmodeling is a little trickier to track the number of visitors because when you got to that site, it is actually to sign up for modeling as opposed to seeing webcam models perform. Internetmodeling lists their models on several different sites. Generally they promote their models on adult sites in links and to subsidiary websites. So, the exposure you can get is overwhelming. They claim that they get over 5 million hits a day. Whether this is counting every time any model is clicked or anytime one of their subsidiaries is viewed is unclear. But, the fact that you have exposure to endless customers looking to spend money on you is very real.

How Much Money Do Webcam Models Make

How much does a webcam model make? This is obviously one of the most commonly asked questions in the webcamming industry. Sadly, over zealous promoters and recruiters answer this question often times with over exaggerated amounts. I’ve seen people answer $50,000 or $100,000 a year. I have even seen one recruiter answer $250,000 a year.So, truth be told, a webcam model can in fact earn $250,000 a year. This can be completely true, however the recruiter answering $250,000 did not go on to explain how this is possible.

So how is this possible? How can a webcam model earn $250,000 a year? Well, there are a number of ways this can happen. Perfection. There are some models who are drop dead gorgeous – perfect features from the muscle tone to the smile, the hair to the hips. If you have a phenomenal body and killer looks, people are going to pay to see your body. These blessed people can pull in hundreds of dollars an hour. But that’s not the only way to make triple digits. Some models are former porn stars. These models have higher rates, are identified as porn stars online, and are also recognized by fans and people curious to spend time with a porn star. These people have a definite financial earnings advantage. But most models are not perfect looking specimens and most are not porn stars. These two groups make up about 2% of the webcam modeling community. The other 98% are people just like you and me.

And in fact, it is possible for people like you and me to earn $250,000 a year. But again, the recruiters who give these figures fail to provide details. Models who make that much may work 40 hours a week or more on camera. Remember, you make your own hours on a webcam. There are some models who may spend over 100 hours a week on their webcam. There is no limit on when you can be on or off line. Dedicated models can spend all day and night on camera if wanted. Obviously if these models have the ability to be a full time webcam model, they are going to have maximized earnings. I DO NOT RECOMMEND QUITTING A JOB TO PURSUE WEBCAM MODELING FULLTIME. At least not until you have an established fan base. This is another thing recruiters fail to tell you when they mention three figure dollar amounts. Webcam models who make that much money have taken the time to retain solid regular customers. Regular customers are key. They get email notifications when you are online. They make sure to be online when that performer is online. They follow the models schedule. Models who have returning customers make the most money. You don’t make that kind of money by logging on randomly and hoping someone takes you private.

So how much money can you expect to make? This is a trick question. It all depends on how often you are online. My personal schedule is very conflicted. I have little time to be online. Generally, there are 2 weekdays where I can work 4 – 5 hours during the day. Then, I can work 3 nights during the week from 7:00 – 10:00. During these times I can make really good money. I really did not work even half of what i just listed during the months of July and August. During summer, I usually just logged on 2 nights a week for regular customers, but was able to make about $200 each night. Winter is far better for me and I make much more when I am confined to the house. Here are screen shots of my earnings on F4F from February through August:

F4F:

That’s over $4,000 in 7 months working a few hours a night. Yes it’s not $250,000 a year, but I am working very minimal hours online. So for me, this is perfect. I was able to pay off my credit cards and do a lot of things over the summer I wouldn’t have been able to do with the income from my full time job. With winter approaching, I will be online more often and maximize my earning. By the end of the year I will be in double digits easily. I am hoping to be at $25,000 from webcam modeling alone.

Now, seeing what I make working minimal hours during my free time, maybe you can answer the question yourself as to how much does a webcam model make. You might be able to work more hours. You might be able to commit to a solid schedule. You may be better with people then me. You may be better looking then me. There are a million factors as to how much you can make as a webcam model, and those factors are completely in your control.

Remember, you do not have to be smoking hot. I am not. I don’t have a perfect body. I don’t think I am anything more then average looking. I don’t even compare to those models physically. I am just a normal, everyday looking person. I don’t turn heads when I’m in public, but online I am constantly told how beautiful I am, how perfect I am. What makes me so perfect? I guess it’s the fact I smile when I’m online and I connect to customers. Customers want that. In fact that is more valuable to them then a perfect body. Perfection is unattainable and customers know perfection is fantasy. Flaws are reality. Embrace everything about yourself and you can make a killing. The money is out there and it’s waiting for you.

Why not take the chance and find out for your self how much money you can make as a webcam model. I use these sites: F4F and Internetmodeling.com. With two sites, you can maximize your earnings and make the most of what you have.

Are Webcam Modeling Sites Scams?

The internet is a scary thing. Especially when you are told how much money you can make on it in exchange for your personal information. Most people who are interested in modeling because of the money you can make are easily scared off when they actually go to register. The registration process is a scary one. A qualified, professional site will require you to submit your information. This generally includes a valid ID.

With all the scams on the internet, the last thing any one wants to do is submit their personal information to a site that deals with adult content. Webcam modeling sites are scary to begin with, but the the added thought of giving up your information makes it very nerve wracking, especially when you start actually filling out the forms.

The reason this information is needed is because a legitimate business needs proof that you are of legal age to perform on a webcam site. The legal age is 18. If a webcam modeling company does not ask for this information, and does not require you to submit this information, then be wary. It is most likely a scam. If the company does require this information, then you are dealing with a company that protects themselves, and in turn will protect you.

When a company that is trusted does take your information, it does so for two reasons. As mentioned above, to prove your age, and secondly for tax purposes. Any US based business issues a 1099 at the end of the year. Likewise, any properly run trusted business will have you fill out a W-2. If you do not have this form from the company you are signing up for it is most likely a scam.

So how do you know what sites are legitimate. Well, luckily I am here to tell you the best two are F4F and Internetmodeling. I work on all these and I can tell you after almost a year of working them, they are safe. They are verified, award winning, they keep your private information secure and most important, they pay what they say they will pay, and they pay on time.

But that is an easy answer. And who is to say you trust me anyway. So you can take my experience and turn them into cash, or go search for websites you think are secure. Here is what you will want to look for:

• Ownership Statement
• Verisign Trusted Logo 
• 18 U.S.C 2257 Record-Keeping Requirements Compliance Statement
• Rules & Regulations
• Request For Verification of Age

You can also do searches on web cam modeling companies in Google. See what other models say. See if you can find information on the sites. There are a handful that are in the business for the long run. Internetmodeling is the only site I would whole heatedly trust if you are looking to be a web cam model. You might find a million other sites out there that offer more money or make bigger promises, but ask yourself, are they just saying that to get something from me?

Internet fraud is a big deal. With today's economy it is so easy to believe things you want to. We are hopeful by nature. It's easier to dream big then it is to give up. You should dream big, but you should be careful. You should be wary, but at the same time be aware that opportunity is out there. You need to find what's real and take advantage of it. This is a billion dollar industry. Why can't you take home your chunk of it? Now that you know how to find what is real and what is a scam, there is no reason to be afraid to sign up. Stop waiting and start earning.
