Camming can easily be termed as one of the most high-earning fields in the adult industry. Thanks to multiple camming platforms on the internet, camming is now a mainstream career option for many girls out there.
But it was not long ago when people thought cam girls were mostly women who were in dire need of money for college or any other reason or exploited women who were forced into camming. It’s time we break these false images and accept camming as a full-time career option, and cam models join it because they love their bodies, love sex, and simply because they love themselves. Period!
Today we have with us Hellen Moon, an established cam model on PlayGirlsLive, who will share with everyone her experience of being a cam model and how she broke the barriers of body shaming and went on to become a cam model by choice. Read our chat with Hellen below.
What made you decide to become a camgirl?
All my life I had so many issues with my confidence, thinking that I am not pretty enough and it’s difficult to be considered attractive by people because of my size. Being a model by choice just made me expose my body and see that actually, beauty comes from inside and all women are beautiful, no matter your size. This was the main reason, mixed with the economic reason. I saw this like a double win: Confident and with more money in my wallet. Basically, my choice was not to pay to fix my issues but to be paid to accept that they were not in fact issues, but something that others will willingly pay to worship and adore. As a result, I am now so much more confident about my body and personality. I love what I do, and I do what I love. I am 100% myself once the camera is switched on. Customers respond to the fact that I really, truly enjoy what I do. My happiness is making people happy while also feeling comfortable in my own skin.
How long have you been in the industry?
I am in the industry for almost 3 years already.
What’s your favourite thing about being online?
Being online I can choose what exactly I will do and will not do and the best thing: there is no boss, I am my own boss, I am an entrepreneur, making my own schedule and no one is forcing me to do something I don’t agree with. The next thing is conversation, I love talking with people from so many different countries. I was surprised to see that camming is not all about getting naked, also you can talk and improve things in your life. For example, I had in my room a photographer who taught me how to pose, I had a hair stylist, makeup artist, doctors, teachers and so on, from all I learnt something. I did not pay for advice; I was paid to listen to them. You can’t get bored after all.
How many hours do you spend online each week?
Being online is a full-time job. I am online for 8 hours a day. Of course, when I feel tired, I sleep or just take a break from it. My target is 8 hours a day. If you want to be successful in this business, you need to treat it like a full-time occupation. All successful models will agree that unless you put in the hours, you won’t see the return, no matter what you offer! Also, find your niche and tag the heck out of it to bring more users to your room!
What advice would you give to others starting out in the industry?
In the beginning you can struggle with so many things, the best advice is don’t give up and always remember why you are there. Another piece of advice would be to try many sites, not all are made for you. Do only what you are comfortable with, take everything step by step and show members that you are there because you enjoy this not only for money. Do you want adrenaline, joy and money? Then go for it! Camming is a great opportunity. Also, share your cam room to all your existing followers on social media and keep them informed of when you will be next online so you can bring your customers with you to any site.
Is there anything about the industry you would like to see improved?
I don’t have a right answer because I still don’t know all in this industry. Ask me about this after ten years, for now all seems to be alright for me. But right now, I am really excited to see some more female entrepreneurs getting into the industry and creating platforms for models, by models. There is a bond between female adult workers that cannot be replicated between male / female adult workers. For example, I have recently joined a very new cam site run by a predominantly female team who are willing to listen to our requests for additional features and improvements to their platform and have them implemented, so that we can all enjoy the fruits of our labor. Cam girls know how the industry works and having platforms that can respect and implement the models’ requirements is an absolute must for the future! Camming is a community, every model is an entrepreneur and without the models, the platforms would not exist. It’s refreshing to see some new sites recognising that!
Summary
So that was Hellen and how her journey of being a cam model has been till now. Being a cam model is a choice many girls are making now and for all good reasons. But what cam girls need to remember is that it isn’t an easy journey, and you will face hurdles unless you treat it as a full-time occupation. But as Hellen says, “no matter the struggle, before giving up, always think of why you were here in the first place.”
