6 ways to spice up your cam shows: tips and tricks for performers
Making money on cam may sound like a walk in the park, but it’s not always that simple. Your earnings depend on how your audience feels, and you can't always please everyone. As a result, you need to aim for pleasing the majority to see a good payout. Additionally, the competition in this area is fierce, and you need something unique to make a name for yourself.
Don't worry if you feel like a tiny fish in an enormous ocean. There are several creative ways to make yourself stand out and spice up your cam shows, and we’ve listed our top 6 favorites below.
1. Dress to impress
I know what you're thinking – why should you dress up when you're about to undress? But here's the truth: your audience isn't just there for a cheap thrill. They want to be immersed in an experience. So, put some effort into your appearance, the set, and your content. Plus, you can use your outfit to your advantage and tease or play with it. For example, you can remove your panties and do dildo play with a skimpy skirt on to add more excitement to the mix.
Consider the persona you want to portray and tailor your look to match. Are you going for a classic pin-up vibe or a sultry, modern twist? Let your imagination run wild and don't be afraid to take risks.
2. Tell a story
Want to wow your viewers with your daily life? Don’t keep it to real. While real-life inspiration is certainly valuable and people appreciate other lives they can relate to, adding a storytelling component can take your content to the next level and keep your viewers coming back for more.
Rather than simply presenting a series of disconnected moments or everyday tasks, think about the overarching narrative that ties them together. This could be literally anything, the creative part is up to you. You can also just take your real life and build a little fantasy around it.
3. Eat out with your fans
On cam, of course. There’s no denying that sharing a meal with someone is a bonding experience, whether it's going out on a date or catching up with old friends. So why not bring that intimacy to your audience through your camera's lens? Eating on camera with your fans will give them a sense of familiarity and trust, making them more receptive to what you're offering. It's a simple and unexpected way to connect with your audience and build stronger relationships.
You can either prepare a meal with them in your house and then eat as you would do in a family gathering, or take your mobile streaming to the streets and eat out in some restaurant, which would feel more like a date. Both cases will make fans feel closer to you and will work wonders.
4. Cater to fetishists
Fetishes are one of the reasons why people visit cam sites, looking to satisfy their overwhelming desire for that one thing considered abnormal by most people. Some people get turned on by a part of the body that is not commonly considered sexual, such as hair or feet, while others might have a strong soft spot for a particular lifestyle that allows them to live out their fetish in erotic role play (like bondage or sadomasochism). The bottom line is that there are plenty of fetishes and kinks out there, and by catering your shows to a target audience such as fetishists looking for a very specific niche, you would be assuring your success.
So scour the internet to discover all the existing fetishes out there, select the ones that resonate with you (you must be willing to perform them and create content revolving around them) and incorporate them in your shows!
5. Put on voyeur-style shows
For the oblivious, voyeurists experience sexual gratification from observing unsuspected people, usually while they perform sexual acts. Thus, putting on a voyeur-style cam show will surely pay off.
Live cams already have an element of voyeurism in them – at the end of the day, users are getting off on watching other people have sex on screen –, but you can create and exploit that sense of voyeurism even more by creating a variety of experiences in your shows. A way to do it, is taking a normal day in your life. What are your usual routines? Think about them and make them tip goals. First one can be making breakfast topless, second one having a shower, third one doing your hair, makeup, or painting your nails, etc.
You can for example have a shower and pretend that you don’t know people are watching. To tap more into the narrative, try to place the camera behind a half-way open door or closet, so that it gives the impression that they’re spying on you.
Another awesome alternative is taking your show to the street. Maybe you can put on a sex show inside your car, try clothes inside a shop’s fitting room or do yoga naked in your backyard if you have one. All of those are situations that others don’t have access to unless they spy on you, which makes them ideal for a voyeur show.
6. Include games
When you and your partner fall into the dynamics of a stagnant sexual relationship – it happens to the best of us –, turning to new activities like sex games is the best way to spice things up in the bedroom. Why not apply the same logic to your cam show? Even when everything’s thriving, including games in your shows will add that extra flame that will draw users to your room and get them spending. All in all, the more fun, the more tokens.
There’s no shortage of tipping games: never have I ever, truth or dare, wheel of fortune, or dice games are just some examples. In fact, some cam sites have some of them already integrated into the platform.
