Social Media 101 with Sammy Strips (Video)

We have started hosting live coaching on Twitter to help you use social media to earn more money! Our first session featured social media & camgirl pro Sammy Strips teaching us the basics of the social media, watch the full video here: 

TWITTER 

1. Keep Your Profile and Cover Images Clean

Performers are able to show more sensitive and R-rated content, but this is not true for every area in Twitter. In your profile picture and your banner you can’t show any nudity, nothing sexy! Keep it SFW. This helps to keep your profile active and away from the dreaded bans. 

2. Keep Twitter Live Streams Clean

The same rules apply to your live broadcasts on Twitter, make sure there’s no nudity. Though this is an awesome way to tease viewers into your shows, it’s not the place to get explicit. 

3. Keep Nudity in Your Posts

Your tweets can include nudity, so you’re free to be as explicit as you want. 

4. Am I Shadowbanned?

Twitter will “shadowban” accounts that violate these rules. This means that your profile won’t appear in searches, making it hard for fans to find you. 

5. Tagging People in Photos

If you’re uploading a picture, click on the “Who’s in this photo?” button and you can tag up to 10 users in the photo. This is a cleaner option than tagging followers in the tweet itself.

6. Use Twitter Analytics!

 If you’re on your desktop on your Twitter profile page, look at “statistics” on the sidebar.  You can get a lot of information about when’s the best time to send your tweets, who’s following you, their interests etc. If you go through that data, you’ll have a better understanding of when you can make money and gain followers.

Why Should I Tweet?

1. Promote yourself! Social media is the cheapest, easiest, and fastest way you can promote your Cam4 shows!

2. More social media followers = more viewers = more money in your pocket. Loyal viewers spend more, and when people know what you’re offering, they can spend more. You can achieve both with Twitter.

3. Reach new fans! How else can you find new people who want what you’ve got? Using Twitter hashtags and the Cam4 social media community you can reach tons of viewers who are looking for you!

4. Interact with existing fans in a whole new way. Extend their Cam4 experience way beyond your shows. It’s a win-win for everyone 😉

Like all good things, you need a billboard to help people find you. Treat social media as your billboard! Tweet from anywhere with your mobile device, and tweet while you’re live from the web.

Ok… I got Twitter… now what?

When I signed up for Twitter, I sat there with an empty news feed and no clue where to start. There’s millions of users, so how do you find the ones who are into you? How do you get people to follow you? It’s not as hard as you think, take a breathe and get started with these easy steps:

1. Share your Cam4 link when you’re live


2. Use hashtags like #tittietuesday #asswednesday and #friskyfriday along with #CAM4 and pics to find new fans. 

 

3. Send @CAM4 a tweet and I will personally help you along the way
**Don’t be scared to show your personality, that’s what viewers love!**



INSTAGRAM

  1. Keep it all Clean!

Everything has to be SFW! Instagram can take down any pictures that are reported as, or are NSFW. Tease viewers, or show off your personality and style. 

2. We Recommend no More Than Bikini Photos

Take some bikini pics and keep them on hand for Instagram. It’s also good to take some seductive pics without any nudity or explicit content.

3. Where Can I Link?

Try not to post links to porn sites in your posts – instead, post your Twitter link so your followers can get links to your cam shows directly there. 

4. Snapchat Takeovers

The best way to get a Snapchat takeover is to send a message to @CAM4 on Twitter and we’ll hook you up! Sammy is booking into December, so let her know! Snapchat takeovers are a great way to get lots of photos and videos so you can post on your personal social media accounts.

Getting Your Posts RT’d by your Cam Company

To get retweeted by a camming platform, there’s some key things you have to do: 

Include your URL – we want followers to click on your links!

Use hashtag (#) or ‘@’ your cam company – #cam4, for example. 

Post a HOT visual! (videos are a huge preference though) People love to see visuals. You can add up to 4 photos in a post.

If you want people on Twitter to watch your live shows, the Twitter picture should show them what that show’s going to be like. Example: if you’re doing a show from your bath tub, take pics/video of you in the tub!

Separate posts if you’re tagging separate cam companies! One post for one site, that way each site has the opportunity to retweet you

PRO TIP: Use videos from your Snapchat to post on Twitter!

Snapchat for Cam Performers (video)

Snapchat is a goldmine for cam performers, here are all of the tips you need to get started like a pro. 

Getting Started

  1. Sign up for an account with a username similar to your camming name.
  2. Review your privacy settings to make sure you’re comfortable.
  3. Download your Snapcode at accounts.snapchat.com and put this on your CAM4 profile, print material for events, and other social media channels.

Psst.. you can watch the full video from cam girl and social media expert Sammy Strips right here: 

 


Posting on Snapchat

Now you’re ready to start posting your best Snaps!

  1.  Snapchat is chronological, so post when you’re online, or shooting some new video content.
  2. Do not post nudity or anything overly sexual, which will put your account at risk of being deleted.
  3. Include a link if you’re promoting your Twitter account or live cam shows.
  4. Share your personality, Snapchat is all about intimacy and letting people connect more with you.
  5. Encourage screenshots, especially of the posts where you include your CAM4 URL, or social media handles, or anything else to help people easily find or remember you. 
  6. Export all of your snaps at the end of each day and use them on Twitter, Instagram, future Snapchat takeovers, Reddit, and all over the internet. You could even upload them to My Shop on CAM4 and give your fans some free videos to taste. 

Monetize Your Snapchat

Cam performers love Snapchat because it’s so easy to make money from this, and with the new Snapchat updates it keeps getting easier!
 
Sell premium Snapchat access from your CAM4 profile

There’s a couple of ways to do this. The easiest is to keep all of your premium members in a Group Chat or create a Group Story. Here’s where you send nudes, post the more scandalous pics, give them that special content they pay for. Even offering Snapchat deals will make your premium fans smile. For example, a 100 or 200 token gift is required to get your premium Snapchat. 

Offer a free Snapchat to all of your fans

You should always have a free Snapchat for your fans, otherwise how will people know that paying for your premium is worth it? Post your updates, CAM4 link, any videos or special deals you’ve got, and show off your personality! Push for your followers to go premium, too. 

Do takeovers!

Finding new followers is really easy when you do takeovers. There are so may cam girl promo accounts on Snapchat that allow girls of all different sites to do takeovers. You can also do a takeover on CAM4Snaps to boost your following. Make sure you pick a day that you’re camming, and offer your Snapchat fans something special if they tip you – like a free video clip. You can find out about these accounts on Twitter, or Snapchat.

How to set up your Lovense toys on CAM4

Lovense toys bring you and your audience even closer by allowing your viewers to control your toy through tipping.

The video guides below will walk you through the process of installing the Lovense extension into your Chrome (or Firefox) browsers. You’ll also need to download a Lovense app to either your IPad, IPhone, Tablet, or SmartPhone , or select your device here to download for your MAC or PC to complete the setup. This is a much better option than using the Lovense browser itself.

 To use these extensions on CAM4 you will need the Lovense Connect app.

Reddit for Cam Performers (video)

Promoting yourself on Reddit gives you access to thousands of people who are searching for cam performer content. 

Reddit is basically a massive forum where people can discuss pretty much anything. It’s divided up by subreddit, and just for camshows alone there’s over 50 threads you could post on. 

Getting started

It’s so easy to sign up and make your first post that we promise it’ll take you less than 5 minutes. There’s no profile to design, no account info to edit, just make your username and password, and start posting!

  1. Chose a username that’s identical to or similar to your CAM4 name. Short and memorable names will help people remember you, Lala Capri, Lil Jezebel, Aqua Angel are a few examples of this.
  2. Follow threads that are related to your interests or content.

Reddit is hugely different from the other social media platforms we’ve covered, so watch this video from our resident cam girl and social media expert Sammy Strips or keep reading!

 


Posting on Reddit

Now you’re ready to start posting your best content! But, let’s review the guidelines before you begin posting:

  1. You have to wait 7 minutes in between postings
  2. Link to your images and videos via Imgur, ManyVids, PornHub, CAM4, YouTube, etc.
  3. Don’t post content into subreddits that aren’t related
  4. Read all of the rules of each subreddit 
  5. Don’t post the same content on multiple subreddits

Then it’s time to hit up the subreddits for Camgirls: 

r/CamGirl

r/CamGirls

r/CamModels

r/CumSluts

r/camshow

r/camshows

r/fuckmeat

r/girlskissing

r/FapFolders

r/GoneWildCurvy

r/JizzedToThis

r/NSFW_Ass

r/HungryButts

r/CumTributes

This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg. You could spend hours collecting all of the camgirl-related subreddits. Cha-ching!

A word of caution: Reddit is a community and they work hard to keep the content unbiased, helpful, and honest. Always read each thread’s rules and guidelines. For example, some threads require you to message the moderator before posting.

 


 

The best approach is to collect your content and make sure it’s varied – cumshots, lesbian, BDSM, spanking, wearing glasses, tattoos, or cum tributes will enable you to post on the more specific threads. 

Stop by r/CAM4Live and leave us a pic ❤️ And remember, follow our official accounts!

How to Work with Promo Accounts

Beyond the CAM4 accounts, there’s endless opportunities to use social media to find new viewers. Here’s a list of just some of the Twitter accounts you could work with, and how to look for more. 

Always remember that cam promoters aren’t a source of instant tokens, they’re part of longterm success. Building up your exposure and personal brand will result in more tokens, more viewers, and more opportunities for events, trade shows, partnerships, and other magic that only the future knows. 

Most promo accounts make money as affiliates, so they will likely attach their referral code to your CAM4 URL. If it’s a good account, you’ll benefit from this. Check out the Camgirl Promo Accounts list on the CAM4 Twitter page: 

twitter.com/Cam4/lists/camgirl-promo-accounts

WeCamGirls (which by the way if you aren’t already mega active on this forum, do it now) has this epic article on how to use cam girl promo accounts on Twitter, including promo accounts for everything from facials to tattooed camgirls: 

wecamgirls.com/articles/for-camgirls-make-your-twitter-your-1-marketing-tool-updated-with-new-categories/

Doing fan signs for big accounts with thousands of followers is a great opportunity to get more people following you and joining your camshows. Even if they’re free, they will pay off in the end.

The most effective promo accounts are each others. Every cam girl’s following on social media is made up of: viewers, similar camgirls, and fans/promo accounts. Become friends and help each other out by trading tweets, doing giveaways together, camming together, or whatever works for you. 

Before you work with promo accounts, you have to make sure a couple of things: 

  • You’re tweeting regularly with good content like pictures, short videos, and always your CAM4 link
  • You’re able to cam often, or sell videos on CAM4
  • You are using your referral ID in your tweets, so when RT accounts repost your messages, you can earn money
  • You’re contacting accounts that represent you – i.e. if you don’t have tattoos don’t contact the tattoo accounts
  • Your Twitter account is public!!

Username & Icon Legend

Usernames on CAM4 are sorted by color to help you identify who is addressing you.

Here is an overview of the different username colors you will see on CAM4 and what they mean.

Legend:

Model: Your name will appear in the live chat for your room like this.

Gold Member: They have purchased a Gold Membership, which gives them exclusive access to certain options and contests on the site. This color is not related to the chip balance.

Moderator: You can use a moderator to assist with chat while you perform. They can help with abusive viewers by using the silence, kick, or ban tools to control the room. The setting will only apply to your room, not the entire site.

Basic Member: These members have a CAM4 account but not the options of a Gold account and they will not display an avatar in front of their name.

Admin: They are members of the CAM4 team, they are there to assist users and to ensure that the rules of the site are respected. Admins will never ask for your CAM4 password.

Account Manager

Coach: A  CAM4 team member that will guide and help models.

 

Notifications

You will also see these notifications when a certain member enters your chat room:

A member of the CAM4 Admins team has entered your chat.

A member of the Coach CAM4 team has entered your chat.

The token icon indicates that the voyeurs in your room have tokens available on their CAM4 account. Users with tokens are potential tippers that can help you reach your goal quickly!

If the user is a Gold member or a member of your FanClub, this icon will not be present next to their nick (even if the user has available tokens)

Do you want to learn more about all the colours and indicators, we might have a very interesting article about that! –> Token Indicators
