Meet IsabellaEtthan, the second model to reach 1M followers on Stripchat
You’re probably familiar with the name IsabellaEtthan and her fiery shows, and if not, you’re doing something very wrong.
This bombshell is one of Stripchat’s top models, and one of the only 2 to achieve the milestone of hitting 1 million followers on the site. But what if I told you that when she started 7 years ago, she was a shy girl who didn’t know anything about camming and couldn’t even speak English? Inspiring to say the least.
IsabellaEtthan is living proof that with hard work and passion, anything can be possible – and that you can be beautiful, smart and caring at the same time too. We sat with her to discuss her 1M followers, future plans, and life in general.
Congratulations on your million followers! For those who might not be following you yet, could you introduce yourself, tell us a bit about who’s IsabellaEtthan, and what got you into camming?
Thank you so much! It is great to see this beautiful community growing. It has been such an adventure ever since. I remember that I got into camming because I wanted to explore my naughty side more. I was so unexperienced and shy. I spoke a few words in English, and it was so amusing because the members were laughing when I mispronounced the words and especially their names. I had a lot of fun, so I decided to turn it into an entertainment show. Plus, I got to know a lot of people , and I turned them into my virtual community of friends.
As for those who do not know me, I am a sincere, authentic person. I express all my feelings and you can notice if I am in a good or a bad mood. Do you know the American phrase “what you see is what you get”? That describes me perfectly!
Can you describe your road to one million Stripchat followers?
The road from one to one million can only be described as a crazy roller coaster filled with amusement and lots of adrenaline with its ups and downs. I started around 7 years ago, with no experience in streaming and speaking no English. I remember that I was very shy and was very nervous for quite some time while in front of the camera. As time was going by, I started to get more self-confidence while talking and interacting with my users.
What do you credit your success to, and what do you think that sets you apart from other models? Are there any features on the site that helped you in the process of growing your fan base?
My success can only be described as the result of teamwork. I was always backed by a strong and dedicated team that supported and helped me through the good and the bad times. They are my second family. I am very authentic with my emotions. You can read me like an open book. I am very sincere and transparent. These are values that are important to me, and I believe that is important that my users find a safe space in my room to be themselves too.
I think an important role in growing my community was the mobile streaming that allowed my users to see me in different locations and do different activities outside a streaming room. I think that mobile streaming permitted us to get to know each other better and explore more. It gave us the freedom to be more ourselves.
What are your most important techniques when it comes to growing your Stripchat page from the ground up?
The most important technique is being yourself in front of the camera and getting to know your audience so you can enjoy together all the activities you try in front of the camera. I am very close to my users, and I ask them what they would want us to do.
Why did you choose Stripchat as the place to kickstart your camming career?
When I started working with my studio, I did not start working on Stripchat. Stripchat was added later, and to be honest, I did not like it. I used to keep closing it all the time. What changed my impressions was when I started getting to know the users when I started talking to them and slowly creating genuine connections with them.
How do you come up with ideas for your shows/content?
I usually brainstorm with my team new ideas, and also, I come up with them spontaneously. It depends on my state of mind. Sometimes I am in a naughty mood, sometimes I am in a more adventurous mood, sometimes I just want to chill in a jacuzzi.
Have you ever hit burnout? If so, how did you deal with it?
Yes, I did. I think it is hard to escape it. This activity creates addiction. There are times when I lose myself online, and I forget to log off. When things become heavier, I take a couple of days off and pamper myself with no screens, shopping, and days at the spa.
Do you have a favorite cam moment or memory?
I can write an entire book compiling fun favorite moments that become beautiful memories. My users are the best, and we share a lot of amusing moments together. We went to the mountains, to the seaside, we shared a jacuzzi, we tried shots, and we engaged in daring activities. Plus, the moments spent with my team. Is hard to choose just one.
Do you have any advice for other models who are trying to follow in your footsteps?
I think everyone has their own path, and even though good examples inspire and can give us some sort of guidance, it is important to explore your own way. My recommendation would be to be authentic in front of the camera, be honest with your users, and always go online in a good mood.
Who’s the girl behind IsabellaEtthan, and what does she like to do when she’s not working? What’s something you would like your fans to know about you?
When I am not working, I like to spend time with my family and my dog, which I love a lot. I also try to give as much as I can to my community, so I am very involved in charity work, especially for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. I organize food collection for some charity organization with whom I volunteer, and some time I cook for them. I also indulge myself with a special treat of fast food, especially McDonalds.
What vision for the future drives you, excites you, and wakes you up in the morning?
I get excited every morning by the promise of a new day and all the opportunities that come with it. My first excitement starts with that first sip of coffee that wakes me up and gives me the energy for a new day. As for my long-term objectives, I share a commitment to a life of service for the overlooked and less fortunate so I want to continue my work with the charitable organizations I am volunteering now and maybe in the future to have my own.
What are 3 things you couldn’t live without?
First of all, my family, second my dog and third my very, very guilty pleasure, the cigarettes.
Reaching 1 million followers is already a milestone of its own. Now what’s next in your bucket list?
My next milestone is to convince my 1 million users to give me 1 token each.
