Why You Should Stay On CAM4 For Your Shows (Video)

July 2, 2015 Ashley Maule Leave a comment

Leaving CAM4 to do shows elsewhere while you broadcast can do more harm than good! Take a look at the benefits of staying where your fans can find you.

Staying reliable for your fans

Constantly going on and offline to do shows on other sites or services while you’re broadcasting can create a kind of roller-coaster effect that your fans may find tiring. It may even encourage them to go watch a performers who doesn’t leave all the time.

We have your back

CAM4 support team is here 24/7 to ensure your safety – but we can only do that when you are on the site. Once you leave the site you’re on your own… Let us support you!

It’s a private affair

On CAM4, you can feel safe knowing that we will never disclose your location, banking, or personal information with anyone. The information that you provide CAM4 when you perform, earn money or upload your ID is completely confidential. Leaving the site means sharing personal information with fans so you can meet them elsewhere – this increases the chances of your private information being revealed.

Keep the fantasy alive

By doing shows elsewhere, you run the risk of getting too close to a fan and potentially ruining the fantasy you project when you are performing live on CAM4. Fans may get confused at this level of intimacy, they start to feel close to you and feelings may be hurt. You could even end up losing a great fan.

Keeping Your Personal Information Safe

July 2, 2015 Ashley Maule Leave a comment

Protecting your personal information starts with you – just use your common sense, trust your better judgment, and keep these tips in mind!

Passwords and Privacy

Never give out your passwords to ANYONE! No one at CAM4 will ever ask you for your passwords – don’t be fooled by someone posing as a staff member who is trying to ‘help’.

A useful tip for password protection is to use different passwords for all of your online accounts. That way, if someone does get access to your password, the damage will be contained to only one account

Send and receive gifts safely

Use a package forwarding service when setting up your Amazon wish list or any other wishlist you may have. This service gives you an American address that all of your things will be shipped to, then they will notify you when something arives and ship it directly to you. No one ever sees your address!

Asking for giftcards is another great option to protect your address. To receive a giftcard safely, create a new email account using your camming name when setting up the account.

To send a gift safely you can use these services to protect your address:

rapidremailer

mail-ghost

Turn off Geo-tagging on your pictures

Taking selfies with your phone is super fun and easy – just remember to turn off your Geo-tagging or GPS locator first. Your phone tags the location of where a picture was taken and adds it in the image info, you can see it when you right click on your image.

If you don’t know how to turn this off on your device…Google it! 🙂

Paint Your Body For Camshow Art! (Video)

June 4, 2015 Ashley Maule Leave a comment

Get step-by-step instructions on how to do some simple body painting techniques that will have you looking like a sexy work of art.

Why Body Paint?

Ever feel like you are always wearing the same thing? Want a unique outfit for one of our CAM4 photo contests? Looking for ways to spice up your shows and make some ‘art’? Sounds like you need to give body painting a try!

Read on for step-by-step instructions on how to do some simple body painting techniques that will have you looking like a sexy work of art.

Note: Everything used for this article was purchased for under $20 at a dollar store.

What you’ll need:

Non-toxic paint
A set of brushes
A plate
Water
Paper towel or a towel
Baby wipes
Q-tips
Sponges
Stick on letters

Twinkling Star

This star looks best when you use a thin brush and a light color of paint.

Start by making a line with your thin brush, you want to make this line fairly even width throughout.

Place your brush in the center of your line and make a stroke outwards creating a ‘T’ shape

Do the same for the other side so you now have an ‘+’ sign.

Following the same technique, make a smaller ‘+’ shape that fills in the area between the original, larger ‘+’ shape.

Add dots to create the twinkling effect!

Stencil Your Body

For this one, place sticky foam letters anywhere on your body in the text you want.

Use your sponge to dab paint all over your stencils in your desired colour. This effect is really cool if you use different colours throughout your stencil.

Once the paint is dry remove the foam stencils to reveal your work. I used my flat-head brush to trace the edges of my foam stencil for a more dramatic effect.

One Stroke Painting

This technique is about using more than one color but not letting your colors mix together with your brush stroke. I am creating a flower using my flat-head brush and 2 colors of paint.

Placing the flat head of the brush down on my skin and holding my brush strait up; I make a crescent shape while keeping the head of my brush on my skin the whole time.

Repeat this crescent shape; keeping one color always on the outside and the other always on the inside to create the center of the flower.

By adding white to one side of each petal you create a highlight that will give added dimension to your flower. Finish with a white center and some dots and you are finished!

Wear Cat Eyeliner For A Simple Sexy Show (Video)

June 4, 2015 Ashley Maule Leave a comment

This tutorial will show you how to go from day makeup to an evening look with just an eyeliner change! Cat eyeliner is the perfect makeup addition to lingerie, a dominatrix look, or even Hollywood Bombshell when you pair it with red lips.

Creating The Cat Eyeliner Look

To create this look you will need:

Liquid liner
Concealer
Flat head sable brush (for the concealer)
Q-tips

Step 1

Start by putting a base on your eyelids of either concealer or foundation to neutralize your eyelid – this will also make your liner stay in place longer.
Using the side of your eyeliner brush, start to slowly drag it along your lash line in short small strokes, starting at the outer corner and working your way in.
Doing short, small strokes is the key to getting a straight line.

Step 2

After you have your eye lined it is time to create the ‘wing’ of your eyeliner. Make sure your face is in a natural position so you can see where the winger is going to sit the best.
Place your liner at the corner of your bottom lash line and extend outwards at an angle that suits your eye shape. To create a proper cat eye you need to extend your lower lash line, not your upper lash line.

Step 3

Once you are happy with your lower lash line you need to connect your lines together by extending your upper eye line; think about drawing a triangle on your eye.
After they are connected you can fill in the empty space and complete your ‘wing’.

Step 4

Repeat this process for your other eye now, taking care to match your ‘wing’ to the other side: take a step back, have your face in a resting position, and extend the lower lash line. Check to see that your line is even with the finished wing on your other eye, then connect the upper and lower line to create your triangle.
You can sharpen up you wing, or correct a mistake, by using some concealer on a flat head brush and running along the edge of your wing.

Now you have a sexy cat liner technique you can wear on cam to seduce your fans!

Broadcasting, Legal Stuff

What’s Allowed On Cam Outdoors? (Video)

June 3, 2015 Ashley Maule Leave a comment

With warmer weather and the CAM4 Mobile Broadcaster, you are no longer confined indoors for your shows! So grab your phone and follow these guidelines to protect yourself from harm and legal trouble.

First, when you’re broadcasting in a public place, you should be respectful of the people around you. Being live on CAM4 is probably not what people expect to happen while on a walk through the park. Always protect yourself from angry people who might sue you – never broadcast others unless you have added them as a new performer on your account in CAM4 Bucks!

Here is a step-by-step guide on adding additional performers to your account:
https://www.cam4.com/training/using-c4bucks/adding-additional-performers

Being outside while you broadcast (on your own property or property you have received permission to be on from the owner) opens up a ton of fun new things to try! Just be sure you don’t get in trouble by violating other people’s trademarks or copyrights. You can’t even use music in the background of a broadcast without having permission. If you do, you can be sued for copyright infringement.

Feel free to broadcast from a car, motorcycle, airplane, or flying saucer… just make sure the engine is OFF! We want you, and everyone around you to be safe and injury free – let your common sense prevail. You can’t operate machinery and broadcast at the same time, it’s too dangerous.

Finally, this is very important to remember while using CAM4 (on mobile or any other way):

NEVER allow children to appear on your broadcast in any way. If a minor or child or someone who appears to be too young (under 18) appears on your broadcast, your account will be instantly terminated. CAM4 will never let children be exploited in any way, shape, manner or form.

So go have fun broadcasting outside, in public, at the beach, at your favorite bar – just make sure you always know the rules that apply to wherever you happen to be (and don’t upset that bar owner or it’s patrons). Remember, it’s your responsibility to stay out of jail, so just use some common sense and you will be fine.

To help eliminate claims of invasion of privacy, CAM4 recommends you don’t broadcast from a height of more than 5’5″ (1.67 meters) off the ground.

Tease Your Viewers With A Car Wash Show! (Video)

June 1, 2015 Ashley Maule Leave a comment

“Wanna watch me give a great hand job?”

“Yes!”

“Then watch me wash your car.”

Tips For Your Car Wash Show

Start the show by sporting your cutest shorts/bikini/speedo and adding lots of soap and water. Have goals like “Get me wet”, “Shirt and shorts with no underwear at goal” or “Soapy strip” to get your fans excited and showing you love.

Once completely naked, continue to wash the car, but use your entire body. Try using sexy positions to tease your fans – like bending over the car to reach those hard to clean areas, using your sponge and getting soap all over you, bending over to pick something up off the ground. I can’t promise that your car will be any cleaner, but you will have a lot of fun pretending to wash it for your fans!

The Power of the Dominatrix

June 1, 2015 Ashley Maule Leave a comment

A dominatrix is a woman who takes the dominant role in a bondage and discipline, sadism and masochism (BDSM) relationship with a willing partner (sometimes referred to as a submissive or ‘slave’). This relationship is very intimate and needs to have a strong foundation of trust and communication for it to be mutually satisfying for both parties.

There are two ways of acting out this fantasy, one is by simply dressing up like a dominatrix for fun, and the other is actually being the dominant role to your submissive. Read on for tips about both types of BDSM shows!

How to LOOK like a Dominatrix

To get into this role you need to have fun with it: turn on some dark sexy music, add lots of makeup, big hair, and tight well-fitting black clothes. The more time you spend getting into this character the more confident and sexy you will become and that is what really sells this look. This fantasy is about sexy, dominant, dark fetishism and more often than not is what your fans will be looking for.

For the Femme Fatale you will need:

Cat suit or full body fishnet
Corset
Black boots or heels
Stockings and garter belt
Sexy black dress
Gloves
Whip or riding crop

How to ACT like a Dominatrix

Being a true dominatrix can be very satisfying, but it demands a bit more commitment on your part. You should make sure you enjoy this role before you dive in – but once you start to develop this relationship with your fans they are extremely loyal and very eager to please.

How it’s done:

Be Confident. How can you dominate someone else if you can’t assert yourself? Focus on the fact that YOU are in charge.

Have a plan. There is a big role-playing component to being a dominatrix so thinking ahead and being creative will help you a lot. It will also make it more fun for you to slip into different dominating characters and easier for you to stay in this dominating role.

Listen closely. As a dominatrix your job is to make your client feel safe so they can be sexually vulnerable to you; you explore their boundaries…then push them. You hold all the power so make sure you respect your client’s hard boundaries and there is mutual consent. A safe word or hand signal will stop things from going to far.

Hold yourself correctly. Remember; you hold all the power; maintain good posture and carry yourself upright at all times. This lets people know subconsciously that you are in charge.

In the end it’s all about you. Being a dominatrix is very empowering; it’s the pleasure you get from dominating that will give you the self-confidence, self-awareness, and ability to control the conversation. A confident woman is so irresistible to a man because it brings out his animalistic lust, it will make him feel that her sexy appearance and attitude is all about him. As a dominatrix, it’s the other way around – make it clear that it is all about you and your pleasures and amusements. You would wear that outfit if he was there or not….you are wearing it for you bb.

Having a CAM4 Fan Club is an incredible opportunity to make guaranteed money every month before you even set foot on cam.

A CAM4 Fan Club is a monthly subscription to you as a broadcaster that gives your fans exclusive features unique to your room. Your fans pay a token subscription fee every month – the fee transfers automatically to your CAM4 account on the rebill date!

Your subscribers will then get these awesome features while in your room:

An exclusive gallery that they can access at all times (there is no limit to the number of pictures you can upload to this gallery).
A chat badge that is displayed beside their username while in your chatroom. (This is an image that you choose and upload when you set up your Fan Club.)
Unlimited Private Messaging to you, including priority messaging your CAM4 Mail.
Free spy show access to your Private Shows (Group Shows are still by ticket purchase only).

Change up your cover photo for your fan club gallery! It will make it more exciting for your fans.
Promote a subscriber exclusive contest by uploading a promo picture that includes the details about rules and prizes directly to your Fan Club gallery! This way subscribers feel special and it does all the work for you.
Meet your Fans! Host a password-protected room, you can post a photo in your gallery that gives subscribers the time and password to the show!
Post pics that show and advertise exclusive merchandise/videos that are available for purchase by your subscribers only.

Select only your most exclusive content for this special pricing (videos of things you don’t do on cam, added guest, special location, etc..) and leave your regular My Shop video prices as is. This selective pricing will make your Fan Club videos feel even more special, increase sales on your My Shop videos in total due to peeking viewer interest, and make subscribing to your Fan Club a no-brainer!

We say “the more the merrier” while you’re broadcasting on CAM4 – and adding additional performers is easy! Just follow these steps:

Go to your Performer Dashboard…

Under ‘Manage Documentation’ you will see the option to add a new performer.
*NOTE- You must upload ID for ALL persons seen on your cam. This includes other approved CAM4 performers.

-Valid Government-issue PHOTO ID (expired ID will not be accepted)
-ID must be in decent, readable condition with no tampering or visible damage that could block information.

Upload requirements:

-Clear, high quality, color image. *recommended resolution 240dpi
-No part of the ID can be blocked, covered, or cut out of the photo.

Next, we require that you check the box at the bottom of the page that means you agree to the following:

-You’ve read, and understand the CAM4 site rules.
-You’re allowing CAM4 to show your image live on the site.
-You’re the sole owner/creator of all content you share on CAM4.
-You will collect and maintain records of ALL performers’ identification information that are seen on your live broadcast or content you sell on CAM4. You also swear to have them readily accessible if you’re ever asked to produce them.

For added protection, we ask for a live snapshot of your face to verify your ID. Please make sure you are in a well lit room with all scarves, hats, toques, and hairstyles removed that block your full face from being seen.

Now its time to get back to the show 🙂
