Monday, November 11th<\/h2>\n

1. Call your viewers fans!<\/strong>
\nit will make a more fun environment for all of you. They’ll feel more valued and so will you. Who likes being formal anyways? Don’t like fans? Call em what you want, babes, lovers, kittens, I’ve seen all sorts of affectional terms given to chatters and viewers.<\/p>\n

\"annoying<\/p>\n

2. Don’t fight with your room! <\/strong>
\nPositive re-enforcement goes a long way in creating a better chat environment.
\nBelieve me, I go through tons of the same messages you get in your rooms on the Cam4 Facebook page, and what works is reinforcing your rules. Instead of acknowledging negative or rude comments, reward the good comments. Quickly, visitors will adapt and you’ll see a better chat room.<\/p>\n

3. Set a schedule and stick to it! <\/strong>
\nIt doesn’t matter if you’re on at different times each week, what matters is your fans know when you’ll be online next. Some models are able to be online at the same time on the same days each week, others are more sporadic. Whichever one you are, using Live Show Scheduling and tweeting your show times are guaranteed ways to keep the attention of your fans while attracting new ones.<\/p>\n

Fans will appreciate it and if you are always there at a certain time for apron 20 hrs a week you will grow as a model much quicker<\/p>\n

4. You are an internet personality! have fun with it!<\/strong>
\nHave fun! Your body is great, but it’s putting a personality in that body that’ll set you apart from the rest.<\/p>\n

Be charming.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

5. Record your own show and watch it back….would you watch you?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nThe best way to learn is to record your next show and watch it.
\nAsk yourself if you’d tip yourself, if you’d stay in your room, and what you’d like to see done differently as a viewer. Maybe your camera angle could be better, or you move too much (or too little). Watching yourself is one of the easiest and most effective ways at upping your game.<\/p>\n

Here’s how you can record your screen:<\/p>\n

On a Mac, use QuickTime<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On a PC, use CamStudio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. Read our Performer Blog!<\/strong>
\nYou’re already doing that, so keep doing it! This is where we announce site updates, product launches, contests, promote models, and of course share Nikki’s magic. Bookmark this page and check back often.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, November 13th<\/h2>\n

1. Upcoming Christmas Events<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, it’s that time already! Start thinking of sexy Christmas ideas. Don’t worry, we’ll be giving you some ideas closer to December ;)<\/p>\n

2. Managing your moderator and how to deal with abusive fans<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finding a moderator is a tool you can’t put a value on. They’ll help you moderate your chat so you can focus on the show, they’ll help promote you, run raffles & contests, and<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0How to use your friend list to gain fans <\/strong><\/p>\n

You’ve got friends, now what?<\/p>\n

Have you thought about charging a token fee for your friendship? Once a month, hold a show once a month for friends only and give them exclusive benefits. Think about it like Friends With Benefits ;)<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0External microphones!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Believe it or not, sound is just as important as your video! Having good sound quality is the finishing touch to your shows. If your computer or laptop doesn’t have a built-in mic, or you want better quality, look for external mics for a cheap and easy investment.<\/p>\n
