Are You Cam Model Material?
Is it worth it? After all, you will be exposing yourself to the world at large. But ... it holds so much promise - maybe you make your financial dreams come true, or unleash your sexual potential, or cultivate true body positivity and pride in what you do, or thrive in the autonomy and self-determination that comes from having your own business.

Fact: Most cam models quit after the first couple of weeks.

Fact: The down sides of camming have to be worth it for you.

The good news is that you have the ability to increase the positive impacts and mitigate the negative ones. That’s one of the greatest things about this job is the amount of control it gives you over your life. But first you need to be able to handle having that much control. Do you have what it takes? Let’s find out.

Grit
Having courage, gumption, and fortitude. There will be highs and lows with this business, especially at the beginning. You will be plagued with self-doubt, and any looming insecurities will be triggered as you do your first few shows. You will experience failure. You may be plagued by tech issues, viewers who don’t tip, or obsessive thoughts of comparing yourself to others. You will face constant challenges as you work to find your niche and establish a following. You will encounter stigma in its myriad forms, feel worried about your safety and security, and face social challenges with acquaintances both old and new. You will experience the sort of fatigue that comes from being in a constant state of newness and learning, of problem-solving and investigating. You will be excruciatingly vulnerable, all the while trying to redefine your sexual boundaries now that an audience and money have been added to the equation. You will need grit to not only navigate these challenges, but to do so successfully so that you come out on top.
