06 May CAMGIRL PERKS: Making the Most of Your Wishlist
Undoubtedly, one of the best camgirl perks is being able to foster a horde of devoted followers who will not only pay to see you perform online, but will treat you throughout the year. Of course, you’re likely to get an influx of gifts around Christmas, when they’re feeling generous, and Valentines when they’re, well, horny. Your followers aren’t always going to be able to spend all of their free time on watching your streams. But chances are they like you enough to actually want to treat you! Wishlists are a great way for them to do that. Fans love the idea that you’ll think of them each time you use your gift.
How to get people to use your wishlists
You don’t want to be pushy with your lists. One of the worst things you can be as a camgirl is desperate. Whether on your stream or on social media, clients can smell it a mile off. The best way to encourage people to use them is to not. Infact, try your best not to mention them. By making them accessible, however, people who are looking for them will find them. Not everyone will be coming to your stream with the intention of buying for you. That’s just a fact. Those that are, however, have already made up their mind, and therefore only need to be pushed in the right direction.
When considering your camgirl perks, it’s worth noting that your clients are already willing to treat you. When you make your list, comment on a few of the items, and let your clients know why you need/want them! It doesn’t even have to be a whole paragraph. Under some underwear, write that it’s your favourite style! If you’ve put a water bottle on, say you need it for the gym! Personalising your list in this way will mean that anyone browsing will feel more connected to you.
The Essentials
This part of your list should be one of two categories: stream improvement and practical consumables.
If you’re really looking to upgrade your stream, something that will really add value to your output is investing in your tech. Or, rather, getting your followers to invest for you! If you already have a camera, to shoot content outside of streaming, take advantage of it! The Elgato Camlink for a DSLR will take your video quality from ‘filmed on a flip phone’ to ‘Tarantino would cry tears of joy’. If you’re already happy with your video quality, put a separate microphone on the list! Who knows, you might find a new passion for ASMR content.
From an adult perspective, investing in some toys won’t go amiss. When considering your next toy, go for something sexy, interesting or interactive. Working to that idea, a feather tickler, a crystal dildo, or a Lovense vibrator. It’s a classic choice for fans, they love seeing you play with your toys that they’ve chosen! Same goes for lingerie or cosplay. People love to feel like they’re part of your world. Perhaps, leave a note for them to leave their username and you’ll send them exclusive pictures in the new outfits!
It’s also worth putting some consumables on there, coconut oil, lube, and wet wipes are a good start. If you have afan who wants to buy but can’t afford your big ticket items, they’ll be able to help out in a different way!
Treating Yourself
As a streamer, you’re not only looking after your clients needs, but you need to look after yourself. Your fans know this too! How on earth can you provide the best quality stream if you’re not looking and feeling 100%. Treating yourself is hard as it is when you’re self-employed, but getting your fans to treat you is one of the best camgirl perks.
If you’re a bath person, put some of your favourite bath bombs on there, or if you prefer showers, get some dried eucalyptus sprigs for your shower head. Some of your favourite skincare won’t go amiss. Once you’re out of the bathroom, you’ll want to get on some comfy clothes and use your massage gun. Throw on a blanket and crack open a beer, then open your new Netflix subscription. The possibilities are endless, and all paid for by your followers.
As well as adding lingerie for your streams to your Wishlist, have a look at some comfy underwear for you to wear when you’re not live. Your fans will still be able to treat you to something that, in their mind, is sexy, but for you, is something to wear whilst lounging on the sofa. You can even leave nods to your viewers on social media: if they’ve left a username, next time you post on Instagram, you can tag them in the pic, they’ll love it.
Oddest Bits
Wishlists have been around for a very long time, and with the advent of social media, they’ve only gotten easier to access. At Cam ‘N’ Climaxxx, our girls have heard a whole plethora of weird things having been bought for cammers. From gardening equipment to a snorkeling set, some fans just really buy the weirdest things. Yes, they’ve been added onto the wishlists, but it makes you think.
Have you ever received a Christmas gift that’s neither good nor bad, is just… weird? Some people are just the type to buy the ‘fun’ gifts! So if you want to put a pastel pink push bike or deckchair on there, go for it! Even if it’s just a new mop and bucket, you might be gifted them by a fan! People like choice, so if in doubt, give it a go and see what happens!
Staying Safe
Getting free gifts from your fans is one of the best camgirl perks, but you must also stay safe. Ordering from a public wishlist on Amazon is a good way to go. We spoke with an Amazon customer service associate who reassured us that addresses are not shared with people who purchase from your lists. To be as safe as possible, we recommend choosing items that are shipped and fulfilled completely by amazon, as we cannot guarantee that protocols will not be different with other vendors. One idea to get around this is to open up a private mailbox with another provider, something like UK Postbox. These start from £12/mo, and can fulfil mail forwarding to your home address.
