Independence Day For Webcam Models / Clip Producers
4th of July celebrations don’t just have to be fireworks and barbecuing anymore. Thanks to the adult industry, there are now loads of opportunities to celebrate the holiday from the comfort of your home by creating top notch patriotic porn! There is a niche market for the “All American Girl”, which is emphasized on holidays that focus on displaying how patriotic you are. There are many ways to show your patriotism while camming and making clips that can allow you to enhance your traffic for the holiday, as well as generate residual income in sales after the holiday ends.
Camming On July 4th
Camming on Independence Day is generally hit or miss because a lot of people do spend the day with their family, shooting off fireworks and barbecuing. Offering scheduled private shows can be a great way to accommodate the people who will likely have plans throughout the day. Many sites also host holiday themed contests (listed below) centered around July 4th. Whether they are earnings based or based off of another factor, it never hurts to get online and give it a go!
Shooting Independence Day Clips
Creating 4th of July clips can really target the demanding market looking for “all american girls”, but make sure you do not do anything that could be deemed as disrespectful in order to avoid issues with your clips. Some people may see creating porn featuring the American Flag as a sign of disrespect, so it’s good to avoid doing anything too extreme featuring the flag. Aside from that, you can target your all american market by wearing red, white, and blue and incorporating “Americanized” things like apple pie or having no privacy (voyeur porn is very popular! …It’s a joke.) As always, make sure to incorporate many themes into your clips so that they will continue to hold value after the holiday passes. Even incorporating common fetishized clothing items like pantyhose can increase the audience that the video reaches and allows it to stay relevant even after the fireworks are over!

The internet is amazing because you can connect with people from all over the world, you can be whoever you want to be, and you can send instant messages to people with no time wasted. but what happens when someone online wants to be rude or troublesome? In a seemingly “instant” world, it can be very stressful to be caught off guard by rude comments. This could be someone who comes into your cam room, comments on your website or on social media in a rude manner.
What Is An Internet Troll?
The internet generally refers to these rude troublemakers as “trolls.” Trolls used to be people who started upsets and fights in online forums or chats with the intention of provoking an emotional response, usually it would be off-topic from what was happening in the chat or forum itself. As of recent years, the media has picked up the term and used it as a branding for any form of online harassment.
Incels Trolling Sex Workers
In the adult community, especially since we are broadcasting live, we get a lot of troll activity. A lot of the trolling comes from what is often referred to as “incels”. This is a community of men online that define themselves as people unable to find romantic or sexual partners even though they desire one, due to this lone wolf mentality. They also loathe the fact that a majority of online adult services require pay, and it causes “incels” to lash out at the adult community with insults, harassment, and sometimes more severe cases where stalking is involved.
Other Trolling In the Adult Industry
Adult community trolling isn’t only limited to incels. It can also come from scorned lovers, fellow industry “professionals” that are jealous or spiteful, companies that are unhappy that models won’t work with them, and sometimes it just seems to be people who are bored and looking for something to do. Since the adult industry is an online industry, camgirls become perfect targets for all of these people because models are unable to privatize social media, cams, and clips. Doing so would directly impact income, as models use all of these tools for marketing products and services. What can we do, to not effect our income, and handle the trolls better?
How To Handle Trolls
Do Not Feed The Trolls
Don’t feed into their game. The root of trolling comes from getting an emotional response from you. Replying to them clearly enraged or upset feeds the game their playing, and gives them the satisfaction they were looking for. Don’t feed their ego.
Block Buttons Are Your Friend
The hands-down best way to handle a one-off troll (someone who is just being a jerk and doesn’t actually come back repeatedly) is to hit them with the block button. Without a reaction, and with an instant block, they get no satisfaction for their trolling. Usually these one-off kind of people will move on.
Report Frequent Offenders
A majority of sites do not allow trolling behavior. If someone frequently comes back to your cam room or clip site to troll you, especially if they do so after you’ve blocked them and they continue creating new accounts, try reaching out to the site to see if they can IP ban them. Some sites will even IP ban them from the entire site so they can’t harass other models!
Recognize When A Troll Becomes A Threat
A lot of trolling has no real threat behind it, but you will occasionally come across a troll that is scary. They will find your information and threaten to release it, they will try to hack your accounts and will basically do anything they can to inconvenience or scare you. Some will even go as far as to try to steal money from you or blackmail you.
This is all illegal, and as soon as something of this nature starts, get the police involved before it goes too far. Having legal records of everything happening will help you build a stronger case if they continue.
Confidence Is Your Best Friend
Trolls usually want to break your spirit, and they’ll do so by insulting you physically or insulting your interests. Remain confident in who you are and what you do, and don’t let them phase you. If you show you are hurt, they take that as a win.
Get A Trustworthy Support Group
Having people you can talk to about these trolls, whether it be other cam models or clip producers, or a trusted regular, can really help to keep you calm during troll attacks. Complete your show, log off, and vent it out to someone who you know you can trust.
Limit Places Where Trolls Can Get You
Limiting your online presence in spaces with anonymous messaging, or free messaging, can help you limit your troll interaction. If you are on a cam site, you can try to weed them out by muting guest users/users without an account. If you’re trying to limit their social media reach, you can turn commenting off on certain social medias (like Instagram for example.) Don’t create accounts on sites like CuriousCat or AskFM, as they give too much power to trolls by giving them the ability to message you anonymously.
In our industry, there is pretty much no reason to give someone the ability to anonymously message you.
Don’t Let A Troll Control You
A lot of people hear of cases where models say that a troll had so much power over them that they forced them to do something. This should never be the case. Do not ever disclose information to someone that would put you at risk to be blackmailed, even if they are a trusted regular. Some of the worst trolls in the adult community start out as the best regulars to a model who ended up being jealous or upset.
Many models find that when their career begins to grow that they begin to grow as well, and sometimes with this growth you start to dread the first name you picked when you started camming or creating clips. Whether you find you didn’t do enough research on your name and you’re conflicting with other models, your name is too long or too hard to remember, or your name simply doesn’t fit you or the brand you’ve developed anymore… A name change can become a topic of extreme stress. This is an even bigger problem for established models who have a fan base that knows them by name. Although it may seem stressful, keep in mind it’s not impossible. Here are some tips that might help you.
Aerie’s Naming Mistakes and Name Changes
Try picking a name that isn’t completely different from your original name. For example: when I started camming my name was Aerie Lovee. No, that’s not some fancy french last name, it’s love with an extra E. This allowed for a ton of typos when people searched for me, tried to email me, etc. Due to that (and due to being a Streamate model) I changed my name to Aerie SM. That was also a MISTAKE. Never pick a name that represents a site, your relationship with sites you work on will probably change over time. This has led me to my final name, Aerie Saunders. It is similar to Aerie SM, it’s a “real name” and it’s fairly easy to remember.
Researching The New Name
Research your new name and see what the “web real estate” on that name is like. Try searching for just the name, then the name followed by “porn” or “live cam” and so on. If it’s already highly dominated by other pre-existing people with a large online presence, maybe consider a different name.
Pick A Functional Name
Pick a functional name, one that doesn’t have anything that’s identifying. For example: AshleySpitSlut (Does this person actually exist? I don’t know!) is a very specific name. Over time our hypothetical Ashley may start catering to different fetishes, and may want to stop doing spit porn. With the name AshleySpitSlut she may have a hard time expanding past that niche.
Make Sure The Name Isn’t Taken
Make sure with your cam and clip sites that you’ll be able to change that name and it’s not already claimed and that it meets their character requirements.
Is It Available On Social Media?
Make sure your new username isn’t already claimed on social media, it makes your life much easier if your cam site, clip sites, and social media all share the same handle because it makes you easier to find.
Migrating Your Model Website
If you already have a pre-existing website that was your username or had your old name in it (for example: I had AerieSM.com) redirect that old site to your new website, don’t just delete the old site entirely.
What To Do With Old Social Handles
When you change your username on social media, create a “camper” account to sit on your old username so people don’t use it to catfish. You can even opt to use this account as a back up account since it never hurts to have a back up. It also doesn’t hurt to throw your new username in the bio so people searching for you by using your old name can find your active account.
Try not to change your name too much! Customers will usually remember you by your handles, and if you change them too frequently you may lose out on potential customers because they can’t find your accounts.
Avoid Porny Words In Names
Avoid “porny” words. Let’s go back to our hypothetical “AshleySpitSlut” (I’m so sorry if you exist) model. Spit and slut are highly used keywords in porn and will minimize the amount of search results specific to you on porn sites. If someone is looking for you specifically but a model with more views/likes uses the key terms in your username, it may display them first.
Name Changes / Rebranding Is Difficult!
Don’t stress out too much! Changing your name is hard, but it’s not impossible. It’s even harder if you do a complete name change. Keep in mind if you change your entire name, people may call you by the old one. Prepare for a slow transition while people adapt to the change.
Here are some tips and hints for camgirls who are moving, by camgirl and clip producer, Aerie Saunders.
Step 1: Securing A Place!
Depending on your age, location, property needs, etc. you will either be choosing to rent or own your next home! The requirements for these are a bit different.
Buying A New House
Applying For A Mortgage: Have you already applied for your loan? If you haven’t yet, you may want to put that on hold and do a “review” of your financial records to ensure you won’t have any issues receiving a loan because of your status as a contractor. Some common issues that may be overlooked can arise and cause problems with your loan eligibility or possibly lower the amount you could get approved for.
For example, if on paper you made 50k but had 10k in write-offs (we all love write-offs, less tax burden, yay!) for home loan purposes, you made only 40k. This can substantially effect your loan eligibility. Buying a house will probably require quite a bit of advance planning, and changing the way you look at your taxes. Instead of trying to decrease your tax burdens through write-offs and non-taxable income you may find it will benefit you more when you are looking to buy a house to increase your tax burdens.
Home Shopping: Once you evaluate your financial standings and have decided you are planning to purchase a home, you will want to be sure you have a sizable down payment, especially if you have not been camming for 3+ years. This is because “self employment” income (1099-misc) is usually less trustworthy in the eyes of the banks you would be getting your mortgage through. Unless you can prove a sense of consistency through your tax records, they will be relying a lot on the amount of your down payment.
Unclaimed Income: This also becomes tricky for models because, let’s face it, we don’t claim EVERY SINGLE THING we make. A lot of us don’t claim: Amazon gift cards, various other gift cards, earnings from sites we made less than $400 on, payments for custom videos through sites which don’t report income, payments for our phone numbers/contact information, etc. Since some of these things aren’t claimed, it is hard for the bank to understand that the earnings laid out in your taxes aren’t what you are using for “spending money” as well as money for bills/payments.
Making sure your down payment is large will help show the bank you are able to save money and will give them more assurance that you’re likely to pay your loan.
Renting A New House
If you are planning to rent a home you will want to be sure you have “verifiable income.” This stresses a lot of people out because being self employed usually means we have income coming in from all over the place. If you report all your income on your taxes, then using your tax return paperwork and 1099’s will be the best way to prove your “verifiable income.”
Bank Statements As Proof of Income: If you don’t report all of your income on your taxes, get fan assistance with bills that you don’t report, or have some circumstance in which you don’t want to show them your 1099’s/tax documents (maybe because it states where the payment is coming from and sex worker discrimination is totally a thing) you can use bank statements! I am a renter and this is my personal method. Bank statements are also great for me because they can see the amount I make, the amount I spend, and the amount I put into savings on average. My bank statements prove that I am a good renter, they can see I pay my rent early/on time, and that I also pay many other bills regularly.
When providing bank statements, I always opt to provide the most recent three months of statements, and one from a year prior. It shows consistency! If you fear your potential landlord will discriminate against you due to your job, you can tell them many alternative job positions that aren’t really lies: social media marketing management, model, graphic designer, online client sourcing, marketing and affiliate blogging… you get the idea! You can pick something that fits you!
Step 2: Assessing Your Needs!
What you will need in a home will vary depending on what services you offer. If you have family/roommates, etc. If you’re living alone or with a partner you share a room with, you may want to opt for a two bedroom. You will be able to write off part of your rent on your taxes since your 2nd bedroom will be your “home office.” You will want to cam mostly if not solely from this room so it can’t be argued that you use it for personal gain.
Depending on your budget, you can also go bigger and get a 3 bedroom and have your camming room, and filming room or office. Your office would be where you do your social media managing, handle emails, update things, etc. This room would then also be able to get a tax write off.
Keep in mind that the tax write off will not cover the cost of having the extra room in most cases, this is purely based on convenience of having more space and being able to separate your work life from your home life which becomes a difficult task as someone who works from home.
Living With Family Or Roommates Is Trickier
If you live with family or a roommate, finding a home to suit your needs may be trickier. Homes with “mother-in-law suites” tend to be the best for situations like these. Although depending on your location that may be harder to find. You can also split floors to keep some privacy. This is especially important if you are going to be living with children who can not be around your work. If you are living with any minors, make sure you make your boundaries clear and have a door with a lock! Sites take minors appearing on cam very seriously, even if by mistake!
Step 3: Understanding Your Budget!
As a cam girl, our income is more high risk and unstable than people who work hourly or salary jobs. When deciding on a new home, it is advised by many companies that you make at least 3x the rent amount. So if you are getting a home that is $1,000 a month, you will want to be making $3,000 a month.
Don’t Over Budget: The biggest problem within the cam community is “buying at our highs” meaning when we submit rental verification etc. we “flex” with our income from good months. If you get $1,000 home in July, and made $1,500 in April and May but made $3,000 in June, then that home is too much for you. Good months are amazing and so fulfilling but they are not what you should base your income off of. Look through your past year of bank statements and find your lowest earning month, and your second lowest earning month.
Assessing Earnings Data: Assess why those were low earning months (could you have made more if you worked more, but chose not to?) If your low earnings are due to personal lack of effort, consider if that is something that could happen again. If your low earnings can’t be traced back to a specific reason that you can fix or change, then these are the months you should base your income off of.
The great thing about staying within your means is that once you have another good month you will have so much extra money you won’t know what to do with it (and my suggestion is throw that into savings, because you never really know what’ll happen!)
Easter is a holiday that usually brings families together, and often times will have people spending time away from the house attending neighborhood gatherings or church events. Due to this event being more family oriented a lot of times adult industry workers will notice it’s a bit slower than usual during the festivities.
Camming On Easter
Camming on Easter can be very hit or miss due to the fact that across different time zones many people will be attending services or events in honor of the holiday, but that doesn’t mean it’s completely horrible. After attending an Easter service, some people are eager to get online and spend time with their favorite models. You can even spruce up your cam shows to encourage people to spend time with you on the holiday by making your show thematic, incorporating bunny ears or doing “easter egg hunts” can be fun ways to jazz up your chat.
Creating Easter-Themed Clips
Creating clips for Easter can be a lot of fun but it’s highly encouraged to merge your Easter theme with another theme that will be appealing year round, like pole dancing while wearing bunny ears, or wearing a sexy bunny outfit while doing a fetish video. It’ll keep the value of your video high for year round sales while also celebrating the holiday.
Easter Information For PSOs
Phone sex and sexting on Easter are probably the best and most convenient. Since people are with family and friends they can get away with sneaking some sexts on their cell phone. Providing special Easter sales or incentives can help you dominate the PSO market on Easter.

On St. Patrick’s Day, adult industry work remains about the same with the exception of there usually being celebratory contests with the specific fun “green” theme. Since St. Patrick’s Day is geared less towards “appreciating one another” in the sense that Valentine’s Day, Birthdays, or Christmas celebrations are and more toward appreciation of heritage these holidays don’t usually spark the giving feeling in customers. Although it does spark fun ideas for clip and camming sites, with many of them offering opportunities to capitalize on the holiday with themed contests or bonus events.
Camming On St. Patrick’s Day
Camming on St. Patrick’s Day will probably be about the same, if not displaying some “gap” slow hours where people are celebrating the holiday by going out to grab drinks and food. A good way to take advantage of this, like with most festivities that encourage drinking, is to be online around the time people would be coming home from the bar. Remember there are many time zones so you will probably be catching traffic in waves.
Producing St Patrick’s Day Themed Clips
St. Patrick Days videos can be good sellers year round as long as they follow some theme or niche that is also unrelated to the holiday. For example: Leprechaun Girl Farting, would target the market for fart fetish year round while also encompassing the theme of the holiday. Many sites are also running contests for themed videos so this is a great chance to take advantage of that.
2019 St. Patrick’s Day Events / Promos:
CamSoda Offering St Paddy’s Day Token Discount – The the 2019 St Paddy’s Day, CamSoda is offering a token discount for members. CamSoda has also released an infographic on their St Paddy’s Day traffic stats.

Pornstars: How To Do A Successful Snapchat Takeover
Snapchat takeovers are becoming increasingly popular in the cam community due to the fact they provide models with exposure, allowing them to share pieces of themselves and their image with potential customers. As takeovers become more popular, new Snapchat accounts spring up and the rules and regulations that takeover accounts set for models taking over their account also become more strict. The more viewers a Snapchat account has, the more “prestigious” it becomes, and the harder it becomes to take over the account. So how does a cam girl go about hooking a takeover and executing it well?
Plan Your Snapchat Takeover and Do A Unique Activity
Plan an activity and have availability in mind: Snapchat accounts with mass followings will generally “book” you to takeover their account. Remember that if they have a lot of viewers they probably have a lot of girls take over, so do something to make you stand out from the “twerking on the pink shag rug in their bedroom” takeovers. Head to the beach, go on a hike, visit your cam friend, go sight seeing, ask random people in the street their opinion on your butt… just do something that is an activity!
Don’t Over Promote Yourself and Your Services
Don’t over-promote yourself: we all love the publicity that comes from taking over a Snapchat, and of course the money that comes with it. Sometimes this will lead to girls who over-promote themselves (a.k.a. putting a link to their website/social media on EVERY single post they make.) Some girls will call this “watermarking” and in that case please do not do Snapchat takeovers. The goal is to mutually benefit the takeover account as well as yourself. Part of this is advertising and socializing on their behalf and not slapping your name on every post.
Turn Chat On and Interact
Interact: unless you are explicitly told not to turn chat on, definitely do it! The nicer you seem, the more customers you’ll gain. If someone says hi, say hello back! Open up your chat to a Q&A session, this will get lots of posts up and let your potential customers get to know you.
Offer Deals and Promos For New Customers
Offer deals. New customers will be more inclined to purchase from you if you offer them a discount. Offering discount codes to your sites or discounted Skypes for “first time buyers” will increase the odds of gathering attention from a new group of people.
Don’t Act Overly Sexy
Don’t be too sexy: seriously, this is a problem some people have. Talking in your “I’m a mysteriously seductive lady who is wet every second of the day” voice and constantly sporting a hand bra while letting out the longing “I would love your cock in me” sigh…is good in small amounts. But it’s not all about that! Have a personality, if people wanted that whole seductive experience the entire time they’d watch some tube site porn. Giving them a taste of who you are will spark their interest in you.
But Don’t Be Too Bland Either
But also, don’t be too bland: posting a picture of your dog or cat, okay cute. Posting 7 pictures and 3 videos of you yelling in your pet parent voice at your dog or cat while they entertain the camera, no. Keep a good balance of sexy, cute, and friendly.
Make Sure To Thank The Takeover Account
Always thank the account that lets you take over: they did not have to let you take over their account, and it does you a bigger favor than it does for them! So always make sure to thank the accounts that let you take over, and with any luck you can take over again.

Make Money Off Selling Snapchat Subscriptions
Snapchat can be used for way more than marketing. You can also make money through selling Snapchat subscriptions. Keep in mind that selling access to Snapchat accounts is technically against their TOS. However, that doesn’t stop models from selling access, or from networks from facilitating the sales of accounts. Learn how you can make money from your Snapchat account.
The Foot Fetish is a very common fetish. Foot fetish is so popular that it there is a joke that floats around in mainstream media about “selling feet pics for quick cash.” The joke doesn’t exactly nail it on the head with “quick cash” but the point still stands that selling photos, videos, and live shows of your feet is a very popular topic.
What do people like about feet?
The toes
The arch of your foot
The heel of your foot
The ball of your foot
The soles of your feet
The way you walk
The shoes you wear
“Footjobs”
The way you can dangle shoes on your feet
The socks you wear
Your ability to point/flex your toes or arches
Their smells
How dirty they are
How powerful/strong they are (able to crush things)
You can tease people with your breasts/ass, but does the same apply with feet? Definitely! If you know enough about your customer and what it is they like about your feet you can use this to your advantage to become a masterful foot tease. For example: if they like socks and the soles of your feet, slowly taking off a sock with the camera focused on the sole of your foot can do wonders for teasing a customer with your feet.
Doing Different Type of Foot Fetish Cam Shows
For some customers, looking at your foot is the fetish, and for others the idea of touching your feet with their genitals or “fucking your feet” will get them off. If you are doing live foot fetish shows, some good ways to gauge what your customer is interested is can be by asking questions, for example: “Do you like my pretty painted toenails?” or “Do you want to smell my feet?” This well help you to gain a better idea of what particular part of the foot fetish they are interested in exploring.
A good majority of the time, the customer will let you know beforehand which part of your feet they are interested in which makes it easier to provide a good show for them.
When creating foot fetish clips, it is very similar to live shows. You will want to know what your customer is interested in and emphasize those parts of your feet. Sometimes the foot fetish is also combined with other fetishes like Humiliation/Domination or Sock Fetish. When creating custom clips, this is generally easier because there is some sort of direction or script provided. When you are creating videos that are meant for the general public and not custom videos, it can sometimes be hard to decide what to focus on.
Incorporating Different Filming Angles
Anyone who makes foot fetish videos for sale should try to incorporate many angles, many different focal points on the feet, and incorporate those angles and shots into their previews if they’d like to appeal to a bigger audience. Or creating multiple smaller clips of your feet in the different positions and emphasizing the different parts that customers tend to like can also benefit you.
Foot Fetish Sexting / Phone Sex
Foot fetish sexting/texting is very similar to regular sexting if you are good at being detailed and not entirely focused on the “general sexual parts” (tits, ass, pussy, dick, all that good stuff) and instead divert the same level of attention you would normally give to those things to the feet. Where someone might say “Do you like my big bouncy tits? They’re so soft, I know you want them in your mouth.” That can be easily replaced with feet!
“Domme” is a massively popular type of camming, clip producing, and sexting has hit the indie adult market. Pretty much everyone knows what it is or has some minor experience with it if they’re sexually active outside of adult work, because you’ve probably been asked something along the lines of “are you more dominant or submissive?” “are you a top or bottom?” “WHO wears the pants?”. If you know the answer to those questions, and the answer is along the lines of you being a dominant power top who wears the pants, there’s a fairly good chance that you could make some income providing online domination services.
Creating Your Own Brand of Domme
A lot of models find themselves wanting to step into the role of an online Domme but don’t know where to start, or think there are “qualifications” that must be met to call yourself a Domme. In reality, you will decide your own brand of Domination. Your brand of Domination can be structured to fit into your style of services, for example: a non-nude model can provide Domination through verbal humiliation, a nude model can do body worshiping shows, a fetish model can mix humiliation with any fetish they provide (some common ones are feet, pantyhose, spit, smoking, giantess, and vore.) Of course you don’t HAVE TO do it that way, but those are great ways to transition into providing it by overlapping it with services you already offer and you are used to providing.
Sub Tasks / Slave Tasks
Since doing Domination online is lacking the physical aspects of real time sessions, you will have to learn how to communicate your wishes in a firm way to ensure that the submissive will follow your lead. A common practice in the community is giving “sub tasks” or “slaves tasks” which can vary from sending money (this is more FinDom, which we will discuss later), doing a humiliating task like writing something embarrassing on themselves, instructing them to cause themselves physical pain, or really anything that is within the boundary of the submissive parties limits.
Knowing Your Submissive’s Limits and Interests
Knowing your submissive’s limits may be harder if it is a first time client or you are producing a video that is meant for sale to the general public. My suggestion is for first time shows where you aren’t expecting them to come back, provide a less intense show and leave the burden on the submissive to request more severe treatment. You will be better off providing a less intense show and not risking losing the customer because you turn them off with something that is beyond their sexual interest in the show. It’s better to not push the boundaries, if you don’t know what they are. This dynamic changes if you have a customer who comes back repeatedly and becomes a “devoted slave” to you.
Regular Submissives vs Devoted Slaves
There is a massive difference between a regular “submissive” and a devoted “slave.” Submissive customers will generally surf around cam sites or clip sites and not really fixate themselves onto one Dominant, instead they will “browse” and accept services from multiple models. Does this make them a bad submissive? Not necessarily because on cam and clip sites there is no expectation for these submissive customers to visit you and only you, but if in their browsing they then devote themselves to you this will create a better “slave” dynamic. A “slave” is more likely to visit you often, dedicate themselves to your rules and the things that you want, as well as want a greater relationship with you outside of sexual shows.
Submissive Client:
May visit multiple Domme’s
Probably has a specific interest that they seek from multiple Dominants
Potentially “shopping” for their ideal Domme by getting multiple shows from many models
Tends to have a smaller budget for you since they spread it out among many models
Will probably use “free time” to get to know you and “paid time” for shows that provide them sexual pleasure
Submissives that don’t know you well might be “bratty” and try to deny your requests
Could potentially not have the time to dedicate themselves fully to a D/s relationship, due to work/lack of funds/relationships
Slave Client:
Is more than likely devoted to only one Domme
May not share all of your interests as a Dominant but will likely perform them to please you
Will most likely dedicate all of their time and attention to you, since they aren’t looking for attention elsewhere
Tends to spend a lot on you because they aren’t spreading out their budget on shows from other providers
Will probably use “paid time” for chatting as well as sexual services, or if using free time for anything will likely gift or tip you for it
Slaves that know you well will know what to expect from you and what they can or can not do to avoid being punished, usually listen better
Generally willing to MAKE time for you regardless of work/lack of funds/relationships or any other factors
Establishing Domme / Sub Limits
Once you’ve identified whether your client is a submissive who probably won’t be visiting you quite as often or if they’re a potential slave who wants to be loyal to you, you will most likely want to establish some limits. Limits for yourself as their Dominant, and limits for them as your slave. You will want to ask them for their limits which can be pushed (things they may not have interest in but would be willing to do if you’d want them to) and their hard limits (things you can NOT push, things they will never do or have any interest in.) A good way to vet out time wasters is to blacklist anyone who says “I have no limits.” If you don’t want to blacklist immediately, a fun response to that is “so you’ll send me $5,000 right now?” or “well, let’s get ready to chop off your genitals!” If their response is anything other than, “yes (insert your preferred title here)” then they HAVE limits.
Two Main Types of FemDom:

“Regular” Domination
Anything that does not include attaching financial value to the service, including punishments
[/double_paragraph][double_paragraph]
Financial Domination
Anything that includes attaching financial value to the service provided
[/double_paragraph] [/row]
Three Main Focuses of Femdom:
You can mix these together, you can add things on to them, or you can take things away from them, but there very basic core of Domination will come down to three categories of submission.
Humilation: The sub/slave has come to terms with their inferiority, wants to be told they are inferior, desires to be humiliated to prove/confirm they are inferior. Most likely has specific things that they believe makes them less powerful than you and desires you to emphasize how these things make them unworthy of equality, attention, or even love. Some common examples are: small penis humiliation, weight humiliation, height humiliation, career/workplace humiliation, fetish humiliation, performance humiliation (stamina, athleticism, or ability to complete things required of them,) general humiliation based on looks, humiliation based on intelligence, and many more.
Worship: The sub/slave wants to worship you, they want to shower you with compliments and they want to beg to watch/touch/satisfy you. They may also desire to worship or honor an “alpha partner,” they desire your happiness. Some examples include: cuckolding, ass worship, breast worship, any physical worship (height, weight, hair, stomach, eyes, lips, etc.) shoe/sock worship, leather/latex worship, prayer worship (treating you as their God,) manipulation and hypnotizing, and many more.
Pain: The sub/slave wants to cause pain to themselves either for your attention or at your request to satisfy you and display that their body is worthless or that you control them entirely so much so that they will cause pain/injury to themselves. Some examples include: CBT (cock and ball torture,) paddling, spanking, slapping, punching, gagging, pegging (this does not have to be painful, but encouraging stretching or rough sex can make it painful,) human ashtray, and many more.
Financial Domination
Financial Domination brings together all of the wonderful parts of regular Domination, but adds a price tag to it. A lot of cam models, clip creators, and PSOs will find themselves incorporating financial domination into their services (sometimes even on accident!) because of the way our online industry is laid out. If you require a tribute or up front cash payment in order to converse with your customer, that is a form of FinDom. If you think about it, every type of Domination service you perform online will most likely be kind of Financial Domination. Why? You are withholding the service from the member until you receive payment for it. That in itself is a form of Financial Domination. You have the power to essentially control them and make them pay for your services.
Doing Financial Domination Clips and Camming Shows
To perform a Financial Domination live show, clip, or phone/text exchange: you should first find out what kind of show the customer is interested in. Some clients will want it to be all about the finances, you can ask questions like how much do you have in your bank account right now, you can request they tip you every time you snap your fingers or wink, you can request a payment at every x interval of time. Regardless of what you do it will be about the money they are giving to you and how you express that the money is your fetish and it satisfies you as well as it satisfying them to give it to you (for whatever reason: because they don’t deserve it, because you are superior to them, because they should have to work for you, because all of their belongings are yours, etc) because you deserve it more than they do.
Incorporating Fetishes Into FinDom
If the show is not only about the money, you will have to also have some general knowledge of fetishes and interests in FemDom to perform your show. A very common one for example is SPH (small penis humiliation) shows. If your client wants a SPH show with FinDom, you can try saying things like “your dick is so small you should have to pay a tiny dick tax” or “your credit card is bigger than your pathetic dick so let’s put that to use instead.” It is actually very fun to intertwine FinDom with other fetishes because not only does it increase your earnings from the show, but you can create fun games with it. If a foot fetishist also likes FinDom, you can play a game along the lines of every time you point your toes they tip. If someone likes FinDom and just wants to be humiliated in general you could tell them to tip every time you call them a loser (or any mean name, really.)
Findom Customers Shouldn’t B Manipulated / Coerced
At the end of the day you can implement FinDom into your shows however you see fit, but try to remember the core aspect of financial domination which is: they worked hard for this money, this money satisfies you, and since they desire to please you, they should WANT to give you this money. Giving you money should bring them some form of satisfaction, whether it be mental, emotional, or even physical. Any customer who wants to participate in FinDom should not have to be manipulated or coerced into sending you money, unless manipulation or coercion are their fetishes, in which case that’s a little different but ultimately they’ll still want to send money to you they will want you to work harder for it.
Domination and Blackmail: How to Protect Yourself
Blackmail domination is very popular, mostly due to the thrill of being “exposed.” That thrill can come from timewasters who enjoy getting exposed (for free) for being annoying and spamming you with photos or messages, some enjoy paying to exposed to your following: for having a small dick, for being ugly, for being a sissy, for liking men, for being a married man, etc. Some enjoy the idea of you having personal information about them and exposing them if they do not listen to you, whether they want you to expose them on your social media, expose them to their partner/family, etc. Usually these types are after some kind of risk of being outed because they enjoy the thrill of potentially being caught.
Blocking / Banning Instead of Exposing
A lot of models accidentally make the mistake of “exposing” people for free on their platforms because they are exposing them for wasting their time/being annoying, and fail to realize that this is actually exactly what they want. When it comes to situations like these, it is best to actually block/ignore the person. Not giving them the attention they want in any form may even convince them to pay you for a service instead, and for these reasons it can be a great idea to add an “unblock fee” to your stores/profiles.
Legal Risks of Doing Blackmail Domination
When it comes to blackmail, it can be a very dangerous topic. So dangerous that a lot of “veteran performers” won’t even consider offering it. Blackmail can lead to serious legal consequences, and in most cases there is no way for the legal system to identify if the blackmail was consensual, if it started consensual and then ended up being nonconsensual, or if it was entirely nonconsensual the entire time. Due to this, we highly suggest avoiding blackmail.
Integrating Scenarios Into Blackmail Clips
If you’ve heard the horror stories and would still like to offer blackmail as a service, it is always best to offer it in a non-specific fantasy scenario. For example: a video called “Blackmailing Daddy for Cash” already has loopholes in it that would help a legal case not hold up in court, the viewer obviously isn’t your “Daddy” and if the “blackmail” you’re offering is along the lines of “I know what you did” with absolutely no specifics it gets much harder for anything to be brought against you. You can even make it a totally unreal scenario like “I caught you sniffing my panties Daddy, and now you owe me.” In fact, I’m sure the viewer has never sniffed your panties, if they have you definitely didn’t catch them doing it, and once again they are not your dad.
Fantasy Vs Authentic Blackmail Services
Fantasy scenarios keep you safe from possible legal action, but if your heart is set on providing a real authentic blackmail service then you need to set some boundaries for yourself. Never under any circumstance should you ever expose someone with their REAL information. Do not contact their wife, do not contact their family, do not contact anyone who knows them. If you do chose to expose their images/videos on social media, crop or blur their face. Do not ever post their real contact information or identity, a good way to avoid this if you’re publicly exposing them is “look at what this LOSER did” rather than using their name. Some models are under the misconception that a “legal contract” can prevent them from facing consequences for consensual blackmail, in reality since this is a document that is not notarized and was not drafted by a lawyer/professional the odds of something like this standing up in a court of law are very slim.
Best Cam Sites For Domination Shows
Domination shows can be very fun and very profitable to perform on cam, but finding the right place to provide them can be tricky. You have to find a site that has decent submissive traffic, and also provides the right options for you to perform your best style of show.
Domme Shows On Chaturbate
Chaturbate is a great place to offer Domination shows because of their private and ticket show options. When it comes to interests in FemDom/FinDom, a lot of people will find that their wants are specific and likely differ from others, even those looking for the same fetish may differ in the ways they’d like to receive it. Having the option to be in a private setting is convenient, and there is also the added convenience of the member being able to continue tipping during the show.
Streamate is a great place for Domination shows because they are entirely private based and also have a very large amount of submissive traffic. There is the added convenience of being able to tip during the show, and another great thing about Streamate is the “competition for traffic” is limited since room count is not the deciding factor on placement, and because you don’t have the problem of “doing more for less” since there is a rule against below the belt nudity in free chat.
Flirt4Free has good private show options, they also have the “Offers” feature which allows members to request private shows with you at lower/higher rates than what your rate is set at. This works great for FinDom shows who are looking for a “wallet rinsing” with higher than average rates.
ManyVids has a private show feature and the ability for users to continue tipping during your show. They also have good fetish/FemDom traffic within their video section which helps contribute to their new and growing webcam feature.
*There are many other sites where you may be able to make Domination shows work for you, and this is not to discredit them, but these are the common sites where you can reliably find submissive customers.
Best Clip Sites for Domme Clips
iWantClips a very Domme-centric site, with many of the top performers on the site catering to fetish and Domination related niches. Models who primarily focus on Domination clips will find success on iWantClips due to the nature of the organic traffic on the site leaning towards Domme style content.
If the idea of free chat doesn’t sit well with you, you may be better off offering Skype Shows. A majority of the Skype selling networks have fantastic submissive traffic and a lot of customers actually prefer it because of the private one-on-one nature of the shows. These sites allow your customer to pay for per-minute Skype shows, and you don’t have to wait for customers to find you in free chat since these sites allow you to schedule a time with your customer.
If you are planning on selling items such as worn panties you may have some questions, what is the best way to go about it? How do you make the buyer doesn’t claim they didn’t get it and refund? What is safe to mail? This guide is here to answer all of your questions when it comes to mailed goods. We’ve also got a list of networks that can be used to sell panties and other tangibles listed below.
Many models find success in taking photos or videos in or of the items that they have for sale in order to draw more attention to it. This also show the buyer exactly what they are getting. This also helps protect you as the seller, because the buyer can not claim that they were not expecting the item in the condition that you sent it.
Using social media to advertise your products for sale will also improve the attention it receives and the chances of getting a sale.
Ad-Ons: Videos and Photos Wearing the Panties
Some models have also shown great success in offering “add ons” to items they’re selling, for example: if you are selling worn panties you can offer a short video of you in the panties for an additional $x amount. It combines the allure of custom content with a “trophy” from the content that the buyer is able to hold onto.
You’ve made a sale, what do you do now?
Once you make a sale of your product, whatever it may be, you will have to get into contact with the customer to get their mailing information. Some sites with storefront options will automatically do this for you, but depending on the site you chose to sell through, you may have to contact them yourself.
Keep note of their mailing address in a safe place, so that it will not be taken or used for any purpose but mailing the item. It may also help to add a disclaimer that if they do not provide a real name you can’t guarantee they will be able to receive their package if they miss the delivery at the door. Most places require ID with a matching name to pick up packages if they miss you when they’re being delivered.
Shipping Worn Panties, Socks, Bras
Now that you have their mailing information you are ready to ship! You can do this either in store or online. If you do it online, many places also offer package pickup. Keep in mind that shipping is not always cheap, so depending on what you are selling, you may want to opt for an option like Flat Rate through USPS (if you’re in the US.)
Sending Panties Overseas: If you are shipping across borders, you should also keep in mind that you will have to pay taxes on the items passing the border + it is subject to being searched and denied.
Double Check Address Before Sending: Double check the address before you complete your order.
Your Return Address: For the return address there are many options to keep you safe including using a PO Box or using an online mail forwarding platform (similar to a PO Box but they actually send the mail to you). If you don’t have access to these options you can also cut out the return address on the packaging label, although the customer may still be able to access your location with a tracking number so this is not the best option.
Save The Receipt / Tracking Number: Once you print your label, you should also print the receipt/tracking number that comes with it so you can ensure the package makes it to the location.
A major concern with tangible goods is that since it relies on a mailing system and the honesty of both parties that it is a cesspool of false claims and refunds. The best way as an honest seller to guarantee you won’t get chargebacks or refunds on items that you did send is to always make sure to keep the tracking number and provide it to the site if they contact you about the status of an item. Some sites will even allow you to add the tracking number to an order fulfillment when you complete your order so that the customer can also track it. In some rare cases, the mailing service you use may lose your package, in which case you should always contact the mailing service and ask for a refund for the value of your package.
Another good safety practice is to take photos of your package in the open container and once it is closed, even a video of you dropping it at the post office/mailbox can serve as proof of your intention to send your item. For the most part, sites will rarely penalize the seller for things that are out of their control, and will side with the seller if they are able to provide multiple forms of evidence that they did everything they could to ensure the package would reach the customer.
More Panty Selling Tips
Presentation of an item is important, and you are more likely to receive repeat customers if your package presentation is nice. You can include a thank you note, colorful packing paper, and other things to create a more personalized and professional touch.
International shipping is very expensive, and you should account for this cost as well. Make sure your description states if you do international shipping, and if you do if there is an increase in shipping cost due to this.
It has been speculated that shipping worn items is illegal, so check with your local laws to make sure you are not doing anything that could endanger you legally.
If you are shipping delicate items, you can order “fragile” stickers online to attach to your package to ensure it is handled with care. You should also invest in bubble wrap/air packs if you’ll be sending delicate items.
Do not put your legal name on your package, even for the return address. Make sure you discuss with your PO Box, mail forwarding system, or other option that you will be using your professional name. Once they approve this, you will be able to get return packages safely, and won’t have to worry about your legal name being seen by your customer.
