If I Had to Start Over Tomorrow

2 years. 1000+ streams. $247,000 earned. Here's everything I wish I knew on day one.

What I'd Do Differently

What I'd Do Exactly The Same

• Starting immediately - Analysis paralysis kills dreams
• Picking Chaturbate - Best platform, most money
• Being honest about straightness - Authenticity sells
• Investing in good lighting - Game changer
• Building regulars - Recurring revenue is everything
• Staying anonymous - Privacy worth more than fame
• Treating it like business - This is work, not play

The Hierarchy of Cam Success

1. Showing up (90% fail here)
2. Being consistent (5% fail here)
3. Understanding psychology (3% fail here)
4. Building relationships (1% fail here)
5. Playing long game (You're in the 1%)

The Money Reality Nobody Tells You

Month 1: You'll make $500-1500

Month 3: You'll make $2000-4000

Month 6: You'll make $3000-6000

Year 1: You'll clear $50-80K

Year 2: You'll hit $80-150K

IF you follow the rules. Most don't.

The Mindset That Makes Millions

Successful cam models think:

• "This is temporary but profitable"
• "I'm an entertainer, not a whore"
• "Every stream funds my future"
• "Viewers are customers, not friends"
• "My sexuality is mine regardless"
• "Judge me from your cubicle"
• "I'll retire before you"

The Technical Shit That Matters

Lighting: One ring light > Everything else

Camera: Logitech C920 is all you need

Internet: 10 Mbps upload minimum

Background: Clean wall beats everything

Audio: Webcam mic is fine

Schedule: Same time > Random times

Personality: Worth more than your dick

The Psychological Warfare

Your brain will fuck with you:

• Week 1: "What am I doing?"
• Month 1: "Is this worth it?"
• Month 3: "Actually this is easy"
• Month 6: "I'm making bank"
• Year 1: "Why do people work normal jobs?"

Push through the first 3 months. Everything changes.

The Uncomfortable Truths

1. Your content will leak online forever
2. Someone you know might find out
3. You'll do things you said you wouldn't
4. You'll become slightly dead inside
5. You'll also become rich
6. The money makes it worth it
7. You'll have complicated feelings forever

The Success Formula

Consistency + Personality + Boundaries + Time = Money

Missing any variable = Failure

Who Should Cam

✅ You should cam if:

• You're comfortable with your body
• You can separate work from identity
• You understand it's temporary

• You're deeply religious/conservative
• You can't handle judgment
• You're in a relationship that would suffer
• You have severe mental health issues
• You're under 18 (obviously)
• You think it's easy money (it's not)

8. Thou shalt not catch feelings
9. Thou shalt have an exit plan
10. Thou shalt not give a fuck

The Bottom Line

I went from broke bartender to six-figure earner in 24 months.

Not because I'm special. Not because I'm hung. Not because I'm particularly attractive.

Because I showed up when others quit.

You're one decision away from changing your life. Most people never make that decision. They read guides, watch videos, plan endlessly, and die broke.

Tonight, you could make $100.
This month, you could make $3,000.
This year, you could make $60,000.
In five years, you could be retired.

Or you could keep reading guides.

Your dick is a depreciating asset. It's worth the most right now. Every day you wait, you lose money.

The only difference between you and me? I started.

See you at the top. Or not. Your choice.
