It’s almost impossible to browse the net and not run into camgirls.  Ever browse a site and out of nowhere hear a sexy, flirty voice talking only to click on the popup and be redirected to a live cam site?  Or maybe you’re active on Twitter and are bombarded with beautiful girls who are  sharing some of their most intimate photos for all the world to see.  Chances are you have come across what is known as a webcam model.  All though the way every camgirl runs her business differs per individual, the general purpose is to sell adult-themed, live cam shows.  With the turn of the economy the number of camgirls has exploded over the past few years, attracting all kinds of women.  Many girls choose to cam because they feel it’s less taboo than shooting porn.  It’s also very convenient if you’re a single mother with kids to watch after, or a struggling student with no time to work and accumulating student loans.

The growing talent pool definitely creates a work environment where being attractive is just a prerequisite and can only take you so far.  The key to camming isn’t being the most attractive girl, but putting more emphasis on the live, real-time interaction.  Live interaction is the appeal for guys and is what may prompt them to visit a camgirl opposed to watching a porn film.  The two fields aren’t in competition with each other, they’re just alternatives.  All though, there is one major advantage of being a camgirl over working in adult films.  You can’t really pirate a camgirl’s services.   Sure, cam shows are recorded and uploaded to tube sites regularly, but most camgirl connoisseurs aren’t frequenting camgirls just to see some nudity.  They want to talk and receive a real response, something that can’t be offered in a recording.

There is more to being a camgirl in 2013 than just the cam show, it’s actually really fascinating to witness.  A camgirl works independently and upon entering a  chatroom you’ll see she is offering a show, videos/photo sets, Skype shows, raffles, and other promotional swag that she has most likely produced herself.  Many camgirls would say that being on cam is only half the work, while the rest of their time is spent behind the camera working on promoting themselves and creating content to sell.  The absence of agents and funded ad campaigns force camgirls to be their own boss, talent, producer, and marketer.

The future of camming definitely foresees an expected growth.  It rides the same wave as any other technological advancements.  A new popular trend that has the potential to become standard in the camming world and take camming to the next level are interactive sex toys.  There are male masturbatory sex toys that can be controlled and are in sync with touch-sensitive female sex toys.  These days virtual sex has become so close to reality that jerking off with out any virtual aids seems almost archaic.  The camming industry is constantly improving in quality and thinking of new, innovative ways to get you off.
