Do I Have What It Takes?
Alright, so you’ve got the lowdown on webcam modeling. You know the benefits; you know the downsides. You might even know how to get started. But before you even start getting set up and sending out an application, a little doubt and maybe even insecurity creeps in. You’re asking yourself:
Do I have what it takes to become a webcam model?
Am I sexy or pretty enough?
What do webcam model agencies look for?
Am I charming or smart enough to even succeed?
So many women are scared away by the word “model,” and this is really a shame. Those women could have been shining stars. What they didn’t know is this:
A webcam model does not need to look like a model.
Not 5’9″? That’s okay.
Got a few extra pounds? Not a problem.
Pimples? Freckles? Small boobs? Big nose? Still not a problem.
Well, a big enough nose might be a little distracting, but I think you get my point, lol.
Now, if you are 5’9″, 110 lbs and perfectly symmetrical, frankly I’m not sure why you aren’t in the fashion industry (or maybe you are just branching out, ha). Of course, who doesn’t want to work from bed? And if you’re just missing a couple inches, well, more power to you. 
If you are new to this whole webcam modeling thing, it’s natural to assume that your appearance would be the biggest factor in whether you’ll be approved, let alone successful. Here is what webcam modeling agencies are generally looking for:
Webcam modeling gives you a potentially global audience. That’s a big audience. That means that no matter what you look like, a group of members will be physically attracted to you.
How do you turn those members into regulars?
Be yourself. If you’re an introvert like me, dial it up a little – maybe try to be more flirty and outgoing. But as a general rule, be genuine and genuinely interested in getting to know your future regulars as they get to know you. And as they get hooked on you.
Shake that Personality!
Believe that you are beautiful, be confident in your SELF, embrace your sexuality, rock the genuine oh-so-charming YOU on cam. That is the key to success on this career path.
Now that you know the secret, you’re totally ready to get started. Go pick out a cam site!
Keep the conversation going. Have questions or comments? Feel free to post them.
Til next time!

I'm a 26 year old Canadian, musician, and camgirl. I quit my day job in July 2013 thanks to webcam modeling, and I created U Camgirl to share what I've learned along the way. I'm here to answer questions and help anyone interested in pursuing webcam work.
There it’s great information here for people that are looking for getting started as a webcam model. I love that you point out that even if we aren’t perfect, it is still possible to get a webcam modeling job. Thanks for this info!
Hey Katrina, thanks for checking out the site! Definitely, in the webcam modeling business there is no need to fit into the cookie cutter stereotype at all. There are so many potential customers out there who are looking for as many different kinds of girls (and guys! lol) as there are girls and guys.
Glad you enjoyed the article!
