hi, my name is jade. im 26 and ive been working doing adult content for the last 2 years. i work on chaturbate, onlyfans, and also privately. im here to tell you the run down. ive been seeing alot of posts, and also get ALOT of questions when it comes to working in the adult industry. im here to answer all of them, give people advice, give people the run down what i do on a daily basis, and also how to deal with haters, family & others who dont accept what i do. this is also to explain more about me. my DARK past. here is the first chapter.
*this is a safe space for also other models who feel like they cant voice themselves also*
Q:what do u do when u do stream? how do u prepare. you look like you barley do anything
A: people ALWAYS say and complain how cam models barley work, which is honestly the dumbest thing ive heard, phyisically and mentally. we work around the clock most hours of the days. i legit wake up at 5am. listen to my meditations for the day,
i check my messages from facebook,twitter,fetlife,chaturbate,onlyfans,2 snapchats,instagram,reddit. i see what i got going on during the day, i check if people booked privates, or custom videos. i also make a new tip menu once a week. one thing i noticed about streaming you ALWAYS have to be updating your profile, changing tweaks here and there, to make it look more fresh. i shower get ready for the day, takes about 3-4 hours putting on makeup ( when your a single parent lol ) your all over the place sometimes. i then do my hair, which takes 1-2 hours also, since its naturally curly. i also have to go on all these sites, promote when im streaming. also promote my other sites. i also spend an hour taking photos/ editing them. once thats all done i log into my stream. set up goals i will do for the night. set up games for the night. and also set up my OBS system. make sure its running on perfect speed. making sure clients are aware i will be on. then i set up all my lights. making sure the lights are good. i clean my room and wash my sheets since there white, i always make sure my room is legit perfect. a perfect clean room with good lightening is EVERYTHING. i also have to make sure all toys are cleaned and charged before i go on. then once im done streaming, i relax smoke my weed and eat. but yeah thats pretty much my days when i do stream.
Q: is there any tips for a new model? i might want to do it.
A: now some tips, if you want to be a serious cam model. this is alot of work, it takes time. you will not get 1 million followers in a day, most cam models who have a large followign have been doing this for 5 years and up. it took me a year to get 16k followers. ive had many people tell me " i can make you rich, get you sugar daddies, etc the list goes on" ladies DONT FALL FOR THIS. PLEASE. you already get a percentage taken out through the sites your using ( between 10%-30%) dont give another 20% to a crusty dude just for an extra 100 views. cause at the end of the day u doin all this hard work. YOUR PUTTING YOUR BODY OUT THERE. NOT THEM. AND ALSO for not paying for shit half the time instead sitting around and getting free nudes/ content. and also.
models you will have to pay TAXES. so ima give you advice on what to do, now i know your thinking OMG. its not as bad as you think. keep all your receipts. your hair,nails,webcam,audio, etc will all count as WRITEOFFS. your tax accounting is a write off lmao, and also if you make under 20k you do get taxes back. please stop listening to people. every 1,000 you make on these sites save ATLEAST 250$ away for taxes. the IRS dont play.
same with studio accounts. they will take a percentage. on top of the percentage with the site, and even sometimes they wont even pay you if u dont make enough ( on there requirements) ladies, work for YOURSELF.
Q: do i have to make content w/ others just to be sucessful?
A: NO YOU DONT! i do mine solo. and im doing just fine. but B/G, G/G be making alot of money also. whatever YOUR COMFTERABLE with.
Q: how much should i charge for my content.
A: it depends honestly, i charge cheap af on my onlyfans. because 1) im not streaming or live on there. 2) i record my streams so tbh i feel like since im solo and streaming i dont charge much. and also its not my main source of income/ but when im live, or people ask for privates. my prices are 50$ + up because why? its diffferent the other person is asking for more demands then a regular custom video. and i start off with 25 minutes ATLEAST. i dont fuck around when it comes to my privates. my time is valuable. and so is my energy. but its up to you what you want to charge.
Q: can people steal my content?
A: yes. which is why you watermark it, or put the DMCA on your profile. what i usually do is search my username once a week, and go down the 20 pornsites that steal my info and send them the DMCA letter. and they will take it down REAL quick for the time being. but you can get a team of people to hire i think its monthly were they take down your videos for you!
