30 Apr Finding Your Niche In Camming
When deciding to become an adult model, considering a camgirl niche is probably quite low on your priority list. You’ve got yourself the equipment. Check. Organised your best outfits. Check. Chosen your favourite toys. Now it’s time to press broadcast. Right? Wrong. Believe it or not, even though you’re ready to make money and have a good time, you’re still a business and it’s still important to have a plan.
Why have a niche?
Niches help to ensure you’re reaching the right people, reducing waiting time, and increasing earning potential. On cams, it might seem counterintuitive to reduce your reach. Cast your net not so wide, so to speak. However, what we’ve found is that having a reliable set of regulars who are willing to spend big on you is the best way to maximise your earnings. Rather than playing to the masses and trying to do too many things at once, it’s best to choose a camgirl niche that you can use to the fullest. This way, clients know what they’re getting when they come to you for a private session.
Remember, on most sites, users will be able to assign you tags or put you into lists based on your categories. To ensure you’re most easily discoverable to those with particular tastes, you must be consistent.
How to find a niche
Granted, finding a camgirl niche is quite a hard thing to start thinking about. Should I try something new? Stick to something I know? Where do I start? So, get out a pen and paper and consider these questions:
- What do you like to do? Both sexually and personally. Sometimes things can be unexpectedly good together!
- What are you good at? Are you extremely flexible? Have you got a good voice that could be used for ASMR?
- What people will pay for? It’s rare you’ll get someone playing chess on webcam, so be realistic. But honestly, if people are doing it on a cam site, there’s someone who will pay to see it.
Working through these questions, you’re sure to find some overlap. Where you find a happy balance between what you like to do, what you’re good at, and what people will pay to see is your niche!
Here we have some suggestions, if you’re stuck for inspiration.
Mukbang
If you’re not familiar with Mukbang, we’ve written a whole post about it here. Essentially it’s sitting in front of the camera whilst eating. It gained popularity in Eastern Asia in the 2010s, and has only grown from there. This is why it works. People love food. People have food fetishes. You like to eat? Get paid to do it! Again, there are many spin-offs from this option. Including, but not limited to:
- Licking cream off your body
- Strawberries in chocolate
- Sucking on spaghetti
- Dating partner experience
You can’t really go wrong with Mukbang, since it’s so broad. Another good, practical thing about it is you can maintain long streams because you won’t have to break for lunch!
Smoking
Believe it or not, taking a drag on your daily cig can be considered a fetish. It does surprisingly well as a camgirl niche. For some, there’s nothing sexier than a beautiful person smoking cigarettes, cigars and pipes. They love to see the cigarette sliding out of the packet and being held gently between two rouged lips. Seductively lighting it, slowly inhaling and blowing it into the camera. Combined with femdom, people love cigarettes being stubbed out or ash being flicked on them. We don’t kink-shame here, so honestly, whatever floats your boat.
Feet
Ah, the old foot fetish. Probably one of the most well known and one of the best known. Well, don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. As a camgirl niche this is probably one of the most lucrative areas you can get into. People pay big bucks for foot content and you can add value by trying on different socks, stockings, etc. Things like food and realistic ejaculate. By getting into a fetish like this, you can ask your followers what they like to see and can recreate it for them with relatively little effort.
Findom
Findom, or financial domination, is quite common among those starting out in camming. Those who are most successful, however, really commit to the persona. Common phrases you might see are human ATM, Wallet Drain Cash Cow and Pay Pig. Chances are, people who use this camgirl niche are likely to only get a few small donations, so we’d normally recommend that you use it in conjunction with other niches. Something that’s quite useful about Findom is that it’s easily broken up into different sub-genres. So, you can combine it with small penis humiliation (SPH) and demand payments from your followers that way. Perhaps you’re a bit of a shoe fanatic. Ask them to kiss the bottom of your shoe. Laying your webcam on the ground and roleplaying with your viewers is a good start. People who are into this will, quite literally, eat it up.
Interactive
There are a lot of reasons why people choose webcam models over traditional porn. The main reason quoted, however, is interactivity. We’re not talking about the normal forms of interactivity on cam, such as typing or talking. Not even interactive toys where viewers can pay to vibrate them. As a camgirl niche, it has a whole lot of potential. Consider investing in a wheel of fortune! You can write your own choices on each section, and then charge your viewers per spin. This is a great way to add a different level of excitement to your followers. Not to mention maximising earnings. Choose a couple of things to put on there, five or six will do, double them up, and let your followers play! Of course, you can add your own that work within your tastes and abilities! Here are some examples to get you going:
- Flash Tits
- Twerk
- Suck Finger
- Vibe (10 seconds)
- Vibe (20 seconds)
Finding your camgirl niche should not be a stressful job, it should be a fun experiment into what you like to do as a sex worker. If you want to know more about how niches can fit into what Cam N Climaxxx do, send us an email at [email protected].
