Exposing Yourself On Social Media

Lascia un commento

Social media is a powerful marketing tool that gives you the tools you need to get more viewers (and turn those viewers into loyal fans).

Good Social Media Practices

Constant Content!

The more you post, the more people see you. Don’t limit yourself to just words! Post pictures and videos if you really want to grab attention.


A Strong Bio

Write a profile that lets people know who you are and what you are about. I know it can be weird writing about yourself, but it makes a big difference.

PRO TIP: When writing about yourself think about your favorite celebrity and ask yourself “What would I want to know about them?”


Start Linking Yourself

Let people know where they can find you. Include your CAM4 URL in every bio and put it in every possible tweet. This makes it easy for viewers to join your room, all they have to do is click on the link!

Eg. cam4.com/cam4coach_en

#Hashtag

Whenever possible, use hashtags (#) on ALL your social media platforms (not just Twitter). Make sure you use the same hashtags on all of your profiles – this connects all your profiles together and makes them easier to search. Use relevant hashtags that have to do with your personality and show.

You should start your own hashtag as well – when you click on a hashtagged word on any social media platform, a list of every post containing that hashtag is pulled up. This will let you see who is using your hashtag and what they are saying. The more its used, the easier it is to find in a search – so use it often!  #CAM4    #livetouch    #hashtagsareawesome!

Promote Your Mentions!

Retweet or Reblog almost everything that is said about you on social media. If you have a blog, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, Twitter, or a Facebook fanpage you need to make sure to share all your profiles on each – you want people to be following you everywhere possible.

When you see you have a new follower, send them a message saying thank you and ask them if they could go through your pics and like the ones that are their favorite. You can get a program that will do this for you to save you work.

Privacy e Sicurezza

Personal Info Security (Video)

Lascia un commento

We know that it can be stressful using your personal information on any site, so we sat down with the CAM4 Customer Service pros to ask some questions about how secure the site really is.

 

CAM4 Coach: Hello! Thank you for taking the time to answer all my security questions.  The first thing I want to ask why performers need to upload their ID to the Performer Dashboard?

 

Customer Service: We have an obligation to make sure anyone we will be paying is of legal age to be on the site. We also use the Model Release and ID check in the case of cams with multiple people, to make sure that everyone is aware they are part of the broadcast. 

 

CAM4 Coach: Makes sense! What do you do with the ID once it is uploaded? 

 

Customer Service: Your ID is reviewed by a member of our approval team. Once it’s approved, a copy is kept offline by our Keeper of Records and the digital copy is deleted.

 

CAM4 Coach: If someone did a google search on my real name would CAM4 come up?

 

Customer Service: CAM4 would only appear on searches of your real name if you personally associated the two in some way. For example, if you used your real name as your username, or published an email address/Facebook/Twitter/Skype account that is connected to your real name.

Anything you type on your own public profile or on the comment wall of other profiles can be indexed by the search engines. (You can find advice on keeping your privacy here.)

 

CAM4 Coach: Can my account be “hacked”?

 

Customer Service: Technically anything is possible… but it is HIGHLY unlikely that this will occur. The bigger risk is social engineering – where you pass your account information to someone else without realizing it.

Typically this would be achieved by someone claiming to work for CAM4 giving you a link (in Skype or another 3rd party service) to a page that looks like a CAM4 page with a login box – as soon as you “log in” they get your information.

Alternatively, someone may send you a file in Skype that is supposed to be an image, but is in reality a key-logger that lets them see whatever you type.

 

 CAM4 Coach: What can I do to keep my account safe from people like that?

 

Customer Service: Make sure you keep your account information to yourself, be cautious when accepting files from anyone, and do not accept people in Skype claiming to work for CAM4. We will not approach you in this way, ever.

If you receive anything claiming to be from CAM4 asking for your account information please contact support@cam4.com – we can verify it for you or let you know that it’s fake.

 

CAM4 Coach: So the best advice is to keep your camming on CAM4 and never give out your password! Speaking of giving out information, does CAM4 share any of my personal information with 3rd parties?

 

Customer Service: No. We never share any of your personal info.

 

CAM4 Coach: One more question, how effective is a country block?

 

Customer Service: A country block will block people within that country – however, it will not block users of that nationality residing in another country, or using a proxy/VPN to give them a different location. As a whole, though, it will block the vast majority of that country’s users.

 

CAM4 Coach: Thanks so much for the interview! This has been very helpful.

 

Customer Service: No problem. Stay safe!

Happy Camming!

Time Management Is Money

Lascia un commento

If you’ve ever thought to yourself “How come that person is more successful than me when I feel like I do so much work?” you may benefit from learning how to more successfully manage your time on and off cam.

Understanding Time Management

The first step is understanding that ‘clock time’ and ‘real time’ are not the same thing. Although we measure our lives with clock time, it has little to do with our success… Real time, on the other hand, is relative and is made up of our thoughts, conversations and actions. How we manage these thoughts, conversations, and actions is what determines how productive and successful we are in life.

Without going into great detail, write down all your thoughts, conversations and actions for 1 week to see how your time is spent. This will show you how your time is spent both on and off cam.

Once the week is done, take a look at your list and determine which thoughts, conversations, and actions produced positive results, which produced negative results, and which wasted your time.

Knowing where and how your time is spent will drastically help you focus on things that get you the results you want. You will have a clearer picture of where your success is coming from while doing everything – including filming videos, taking pictures, engaging in social media, getting ready to perform, and even broadcasting your shows!

 How To Apply This To Your Performances

Step One: Set a schedule for yourself and stick to it.

Once you get into a rhythm, you will find you have more time to get things done outside of your shows – like videos, pictures, social media, and much needed personal time. You will also see that having a regular schedule will make it easier for you to fill up your room with fans (because they know when to find you).

 Step Two: Stay positive!

Before you go on cam, take 5-10 min to envision your show. What is the positive outcome you want? How you are going to achieve it? Time management + positive frame of mind = results.

 Step Three: Keep your show focused

While on cam, use your time effectively by staying in your public show until you have finished. Only accept Private Show requests after or before your public show. Keeping this separate will increase results for both – running around is not effective and you could lose fans and money as a result.

 Step Four: Learn to say “please wait” to your fans.

Your fans will learn your schedule and greatly appreciate the structure in your room. Fans of your public show will tip more because you are not going back and forth to private all the time, while private show fans will appreciate you being ready and prepared to give them a great show.

What Do The Username Colors Mean?

Here’s a breakdown of all of the username colors you’ll see while broadcasting  on CAM4 and what they mean to you.

Social Media Marketing

Using Twitter Analytics

Lascia un commento

Being successful means being connected to your fan base, to do this you need to utilize Twitter analytics.

Twitter Analytics

Analytics lets you see every impression, engagement, and engagement rate that is related to your twitter activity. Knowing who your fans are, where they are, and what they like is going to elevate your shows to the next level.

Impression – The number of times your tweet has been seen by Twitter users.

Engagement – The total number of times a user has interacted with a tweet. This includes all clicks anywhere on the tweet (including all hashtags, links, avatar, username, and tweet expansion), retweets, replies, follows, and favorites.

Engagement Rate – The number of engagements (clicks, re-tweets, replies, follows and favorites) divided by the total number of impressions.

Here is where you need to go to get started: https://analytics.twitter.com/about

Tips for using analytics info

Twitter-tweet-dashboard

Tweet Dashboard

  •    Shows you what tweets are getting the most attention
  •    What hashtags are working for you
  •    Pictures that are getting shared and clicked
  •    URL links that are getting attention

Use this to see what content is getting you the most views and edit future tweets to increase your success.

Follower Dashboard

  •    See your follower breakdown by country
  •    Shows you your fan base by what special interests they have (music, modeling, etc.)

Use this info to subtly customize your tweets to the location and interests of your fan base.

Twitter Cards

  •    Allows you to add media (like video) to your tweets and give you better insight as to how your content is being shared
  •    Learn how to improve metrics like URL clicks and retweets

Your followers will LOVE seeing videos of you on twitter and will be more likely to click the URL link you include to take them to your show.

Creating An Awesome Profile

Lascia un commento

Creating your unique CAM4 profile

First, let’s get all the technical info out of the way so we can move on to the fun creative part.

How you do it:

  1. Design your images using programs like
    –Pizap, Gimp, Pixlr etc… These are all free program options if you don’t have existing image editing software on your computer.
  2. Upload your finished images to hosting sites like Imgaeshack , some sites like Imgur won’t allow you to post your images to adult sites like CAM4 so that’s why I recommend using Imageshack.
  3. Copy the ‘Direct Image Link’ from Image shack and paste it into the CAM4 profile toolbar seen below, you will find this under ‘Profile Info’ in your Account Options.

4. We recommend making all your images the same width – 700

5. Press Save Changes and you’re done!

Profile design tips

Your profile is a great communication tool that can do some of the talking for you. Follow these simple design guidelines that will allow you to keep your focus on your show, instead of answering the same question over and over while you’re trying to perform.

  1. Have both SFW (Safe for work) and NSFW (Non-safe for work) images on your profile. This way CAM4 can display your SFW profile images to people who have adult content firewalls up on their computer.
  2. Use your CAM4 Calendar to let people know when you’re online. 

  3. Use your image gallery like a catalogue to show your viewers what outfits/costumes/toys you have. That way they can flip through it instead of having you drag everything out of your closet. I would even name your images so they can refer to them and you know which images they’re talking about.

4.  Add a price list, but instead of writing 25tkns for titty flash, etc… Use pics to describe what you want! This will increase the chances of viewers reading it

5. And finally, your bio ? Here are a few things you can write about yourself.

-How long have you been performing?
-What do you do in your public shows? Private shows?
-Is there a special way I can show my appreciation to you?
-Do you have any favorite CAM4 gifts you want?
-What are your room rules?
-Social media! Tell them to follow you and what you tweet about!
-What are your favorite things to do on cam? Favorite props? Toys?

You are the star so make it all about you!

⚠️ Important Notice:
Promoting external streaming, clipping, or subscription websites on your profile is strictly prohibited under our Terms and Conditions. If such links are detected, your account may be at serious risk of suspension or permanent ban.
