Chaturbate is the TOP (and completely free!) cam site in the worldand they’ve put together some interesting stats on what kinds of searches were going on during the pandemic across the US and worldwide. You can see from these maps that there are camgirls for every interest and kink. 😉
How do you compare?
Some interesting global searches going on here:
And when everyone was stuck in quarantine THIS is what they searched for:
As a beginner camgirl, please read my Beginner Guide to Get Started on Chaturbate. It’s quick and easy and will go through the steps of how to get sign up and start making money as soon as you can. In just 1 month you can have your very first payout!
We’ve all had our bad days on cam (and weeks, and even months), but how do you know when to throw in the towel? When things are not going well on cam money-wise, do you try harder or do you quit?
I think that you havetwo options when things are not going well and you become disheartened, frustrated, and upset.
Option 1: Change Something!
You either try CHANGE UPyour approach to camming, sign up to another cam site, or subscription site, or do another major change such as those.
The fact is, if you’ve been doing the same thing and it hasn’t been working,it’s unlikely it will. (Unless you get lucky, and a high tipper notices you and showers you in tokens). You have to look at what you’ve been doing on cam and see if there are areas that are majorly lacking. A simple fix may be in order, such as updating your equipment (webcam, laptop, lights – more important to looking good on cam than you’d think!), as well as your cam room. If you’ve got all the right tools, but still can’t seem to make money on cam, it might be that the site you’re on is not suited best for your needs. If you’re shy and prefer to be a non-mode cammodel (a “tease” model), then a site like Chaturbatemight not work for you, because there is an emphasis on pretty sexual private and public shows.
You might benefit from a site like MyfreecamsOR a subscription site like OnlyFanswhere you’re not required to be overly sexual. In fact, many camgirls have moved to OnlyFans, AVN Stars, etc, because of the flexibility these sites offer, and the fact that you don’t need to come up with complicated show ideas and spend hours of your time on cam. It’s worth trying them out if you feel burnt out on cam and are not getting enough interaction from tippers. A lot of girls make on OF much more money than the ever did as camgirls!
However, if you actually enjoy the live interaction of camming, it might be that you need to look into other cam sites. See my list of best ones here. Try to assess what may be going on with your approach to camming. Maybe you’re not being quite yourself and the viewers are picking up on that, or maybe you need to create a character or persona that you will be on cam, and that is what will make it fun for you.
Viewers can see when you’re genuinely enjoying yourself and when you’re not, and that you’re just going through the motions. If you’re unhappy, feeling negative, or frustrated, you might lash out at people and drive them away even more. Members tend to come to cam sites for entertainment and lightheartedness, a place to get away from their problems and the daily grind. If it seems like you cannot do it, and being on cam is a drag leaving you more and more dissatisfied and frustrated, maybe it’s time to look into Option 2.
Option 2: Quit Camming
So, you tried your hand at camming and you’ve tried OnlyFansor a similar fanclub platform, and things have not gone well. You are not alone. Most camgirls will quit within the first month of camming, so if you’ve stuck it out for more than a month – good job! You gave it a fair try, and it may be that adult industry is not for you, and that you prefer to interact person-to-person, or want to use one of your other skills and talents. Remember, even if you “make it” as a camgirl, the career in the adult industry is quite short-lived, so you’ll either need to save most of your earnings, or look for a way to branch out and leave for another opportunity. (See my post on it here).
There is no shame in quitting, and it’s better to quit than to continue sticking it out and hurting yourself in the process. You might start feeling isolated and depressed and use drugs/alcohol to deal with the painful experiences on cam. Don’t exploit yourself just so you can get some “easy money”, because this money is definitely not easy and can really crush your self-esteem and self-confidence. It’s better to find a lower-paying, but a stable “vanilla” job that you can count on, versus a high risk-high reward one that might never pan out.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you’re not hurting yourself in the process and that you’re being as true to yourself as possible. Good luck!
Similar to OnlyFans, you make money from members subscribing to your AVN Stars profile where you can post stories, videos, photos, clips, and even go LIVE! Best of all, your subscribers can send you tips even if you’re offline. I think you’d agree that making money in your sleep is the best way to make $$$. 😉

CONS
Not as popular as OnlyFans (yet), so it’s a bit harder to make money, due to fewer members having an account.
I do believe that AVN Stars will become as big as OnlyFans as more and more camgirls find out about it.
These are pretty uncertain times and it can be a struggle for camgirls, and the world at large, to keep the motivation going. It’s easy to slip into depression and bouts of anxiety and panic with everything that’s going on with this coronavirus pandemic, but keeping a daily schedule and keeping yourself busy with work is a great solution to the problem we’re all facing.
Luckily, the adult industry does not seem to be affected as much as other industries, and some might say it is even *thriving* despite the global pandemic. There are more people at home and self-isolating, and so they are looking for social contact and entertainment/enjoyment from cam sites and subscription platforms, like OnlyFans. Quarantine or not, there will always be a demand for porn and other adult services, so working as a webcam model in these times is actually quite advantageous.
Where to Start
So, you need to make money at home and you don’t know where to start? Here is a list of the best resources for making money while in quarantine:
Making money is great, but how on earth do you stay sane during times like these?
While playing videogames all day is a-ok, even that will become boring after a while, and so a great way to keep yourself mentally on track is…
Structure – Try to wake up at the same time each day and not sleep in too much, keep your meal times pretty structured as well, as well as your bedtime.
Some type of exercise – Walking around the block or to a neighborhood park, a beach or a non-crowded hiking trail (whatever is available!)
Get some sun every day! ☀️ Great mood booster!
Get creative. Do something with your hands (crochet, macrame, bead work, drawing, painting, calligraphy, pottery, gardening) The options are endless.
Set small goals to achieve each day – This will give your brain and body added dopamine boosts throughout the day!
Keep in touch with people who you care about and who care about you. It can be anyone, and doesn’t have to be family, if they’re not supportive or are negative.
“This too shall pass”. Give yourself positive affirmations that you will get through this.
The current trend in the adult industry are subscription sites, like OnlyFansand AVN Starsversus live camming. It makes sense that models and members alike are gravitating to these sites these days – They’re really easy to get started on, all you need is your phone, and they’re a huge money-earner. JustForFansis no exception. It’s another great subscription/fanclub platform to add to your lineup of sites you work on.
JustForFans Review
First things first – JustForFansoffers a sizable 70% payout. These payouts are reliable and are sent weekly as long as you reach the $50 minimum!
Payout options are: Wire/direct deposit, Paxum, Payoneer, as well as Cryptocurrency! (Bitcoin, Etherium, Litecoin)
JustForFans gives you more ways to make money than any other platform – You can have posts, photos, videos, and stores on your JustForFans account. Plus, they actively promote and cross-sell models on the site to drive traffic to your pages, which is not something every site will do.
