When you’re an online sugar baby, it’s one hell of a good idea to be a cam girl too. This is a lesson I learned on my own, but it took way longer than it needed to or should have. In other words, one of my biggest regrets in life having to do with my work is the fact that I didn’t get into camming sooner, because it would have given me so much more time to suck on what’s proven to be a very heavy cash teet.
Alas, I can’t change the past, but at least I can use my experience to help you, who’s hopefully at or near the beginning of her interest in digital sugaring. Of course, LIKE doing the digital sugar baby thing, camming is a skill set.
It’s a very similar skill set, which is one of the reasons these two jobs go so well together, but it’s still important to understand what makes camming unique as well as how to adapt what an online sugar baby does to working cam sites.
In the modern age, it’s also important to know why cam girls can still make money, when the revolution that’s happened in the porn industry should be making that a LOT more difficult than it is. So I want to put together a bit of a cam girl explainer post for digital sugar babies, to help them on their way toward baring it all for the camera profitably.
Why Porn Tubes Are No Threat To Camming
I’m sure we could get some pretty interesting philosophical debates going on whether cam girls should be considered porn stars, but either way that question goes, I hope we can all agree that both cam sites and pornography have at least one thing in common: they’re both used by men (mainly) to relieve some of the same urges and frustrations.
In that sense, they’re in competition with each other. So when one of them is literally giving their product away, how can there be money left to be made in either? Why should there be any need for a cam girl guide?
In case you didn’t know, porn in the 21st century is free. Let’s take a moment to appreciate how radical that is. There was a time (not even all that long ago!) when getting a skin flick required late-night trips to a shady video store of ill repute by self-conscious, embarrassed men.

And as much of a royal pain as that sounds like for the customer base, it was the “golden age” of pornography: business was booming, the studios were making mad money, and pretty much any cute 18 year old girl who was willing to get boned on camera could be rich for as long as her looks held out.
It’s thanks to this little invention called the Internet that all that changed. Torrents, the web, even Usenet for those who still do that; pay-to-whack-it is dead now. Yeah, some people still try to sell porn videos for money, but they’re pissing into the wind and their entire business model is probably on the way out.
Getting people to pay for porn has become extremely difficult due to porn tubes. Huge amounts of hardcore porn are now available to anyone for free.
This is a world where many of the biggest porn producers themselves run “tube sites” (like PornHub, YouPorn, XHamster, etc) that post the material for free, hoping to somehow monetize it without direct sales. If there’s a way to surrender to the new age more completely than that, I don’t know what it is.
Yet cam girls are still making money, so what gives? To answer that, let me start by asking you why sugar babies still have a job. After all, we’re out there giving men a sexual thrill too, and we’re definitely charging them for it. Sure, they can actually touch us when it’s online-only sugaring, but is that really what opens their wallets?
Cam Girls Sell Companionship, NOT Sex
I’m here to tell you, honey, there is a HUGE difference between text flirting with a sugar baby and rubbing one out to a video, and no, it’s not just physical orgasm. Believe it or not, it’s not even MOSTLY that. What really gets sold in a sugar relationship is INTERACTION.
The ability to talk and relate to a woman is extremely important to the complete sexual fantasy a man enjoys, especially when that woman knows what she’s doing and is sending him all the signals that subconsciously tell him she’s into him. In fact, that one-to-one interplay is more than just important: it’s valuable, and it’s the reason I have an income.
Remembering that is a useful guide for cam models, because make no mistake, it’s the same in their industry. There’s a reason that some cam girls, including many top earners, never even get naked during their shows. As with digital sugar babies, it isn’t really about nudity; it’s about letting your audience connect with you and get to know you as a person.

In camming, interaction is KING. That’s the message I want you to take from this cam girl guide. Porn can get a guy off, but it won’t be there to smile and talk about his favorite TV show with him afterwards. You can do both, and if you do it just right, that guy will not only come back to see you again, he’ll keep paying you every time even though he doesn’t have to.
That’s another key difference between porn and camming (or sugaring, for that matter): when guys used to pay for porn, the cost was something they accepted but preferred to do without. The moment those videos became available for free, the business damn near collapsed.
But the overriding principle that acts as a guide for cam models is to establish a connection with your viewers, and bond with them. They will tip you, pay for private shows, and sometimes even buy you stuff off your wish list, not because they have to, but because they care about you and they want you to be happy.
Most of the money made by the big cam models comes from “regulars,” which are guys who support you simply because they adore you.
Ever wonder why the public shows on most cam sites are free? Because the public shows aren’t important. They draw guys in, sure, but they’re not what’s for sale.
Honey, when you’re facing that webcam, you need to remember that the people staring back at you aren’t just horny guys. They may very well BE horny, but even more than that, most of them are lonely. Because the ones who want nothing more than to have at themselves can do it for free, either in your channel or on the tube sites.
It’s the ones who tip you, and pay into your income in other ways by their own choice who are after more than that. Those negative stereotypes we’ve heard about men aren’t all undeserved, believe me I know, but it’s THESE men who really do want to get to know you, because the women in their lives usually don’t give them that chance.
Let me get you to understand that above all else, your audience feels lucky that you’re even talking to them, and they want to take that as far as you’re willing to let it go. At the end of the day, they want to be friends with you.
Show me the free porn site that can give them THAT.
