One of the most common fetishes customers are looking to experience on cam are dom/sub role plays. In this episode, I'll go into the common mistakes models make when attempting to work with these customers and how to correct them; as well as just giving an overall view of how we see the relationship dynamics playing out in the normal cam environment. 

We think party chat is one of the most misunderstood, poorly executed, and underexploited opportunities for cam models. Learn a solid strategy for open chat tipping shows and how to work them into your overall cam strategy here. 

What is the single most important skill for a cam model? Answer: Flight Time. Learn what that is and how to develop it and protect in this episode. 

In this episode we talk about the equipment cam models use and recommend our favorite products. We also cover what items are worth spending money on and what you can skip or buy cheap. 

Twitter has become ubiquitous in the cam industry; and for good reason. It offers an easy way to keep in touch with your audience when you're offline, a way to promote yourself more easily, and a community of other cam models to interact with. Learn what we think about Twitter in this introductory episode. 

What is a cam model's purpose? What role do you play in customers lives? Why should they care about you and spend money on you? This episode is a philosophical inquiry into those questions and lays out the basic premise of implementing our customer oriented approach to camming. 

Flirt Phone is a great way to deepen your relationships with regular customers by giving them a chance to call you on the phone (for a price). Hear my thoughts on it and some simple ideas for how to promote it and make people want to call you. 

How do you actually get them to go private? This episode makes a compelling case of "just make them". Listen to it and see for yourself. 

VODs are not bad. With a tiny bit of work, they can boost your earnings significantly. Learn about that work here. 

It's never been easier to make $20,000/month as a cam model thanks to Flirt4Free. Learn how. 

That is a really good question. This episode is a really good answer. 

"Regulars" are the backbone of any successful cam model career. Without them, camming is a vast unforgiving wilderness of one-off shows and subpar hourly rates. How do you get regulars? You create them... in 3 easy shows. 

Why did Pandora pick the Flirt4Free network as our partner? What might makes us want to switch to MyFreeCams, Chaturbate, or Streamate? Why don't we just use all of them? What are the differences between these sites? Those are the types of questions that we cover in the Economics episode (it's long). I provide a peak into the inner financial workings of major cam sites, what role they play, and make the case that maybe they aren't the evil rent-seekers that everyone seems to think they are. Maybe they actually provide an essential and irreplaceable function in the cam business community and should be celebrated for it? In this episode, we really go for it to find out. 

Should you cam with a partner? What's the best way to market yourselves if you choose to? We discuss everything you need to know about duo shows in this episode. 

Contests are an integral part of the Flirt4Free community. Ignore them at your peril. Fans like them, credits are discounted (you make the same) and they bring a vibe that inspires a unique kind of activity on the site. Figure out how to win them with this episode. 

The good life starts at $1,000/week. This episode is a guide on how to achieve that. Learn exactly how many credits you need in the pay period, broken down by day, factored for your hourly rate. And perhaps more importantly, learn how $1,000/week on cam is actually a lot more attainable than you might think. 

One of the most overlooked (and lucrative) aspects of camming come in the form of fetish privates. Here's what you need to know to start experimenting with it and get your first fetish fan. 

We like to say that camming is two real people, pretending to be fake people, pretending to be real people. Role play scenarios on cam add yet another dimension of pretending to be fake people. The results are pretty amazing.

Private shows are predictable. While every one is a little different, a lot of customers want very much the same things. Winging it every single time isn't ideal. Instead, develop a routine show (or a few) to do over and over again. Learn how here. 

Every cam model needs to know how to sell their 1 on 1 private shows. There is skill involved. Learn a small piece of the skill needed in this episode. 

One of the core skills every cam model needs is the ability to create activity, energy, interest in your chatroom. Learn how in this episode. 

Start.  Go.  Live.  Should this podcast have been 15 minutes or 15 hours? Do I tell you everything that could possibly ever come up, or keep it short and sweet? I don't know, but I did my best here.  Don't do anything on day 1. Just login and spend a few hours exploring and interacting with your chat. That's the key takeaway. The goal on day 1 is for you to decide whether this is something you want to do for a long time or not. If not, you should stop right away. If it is, you should dive in.
