True Hybrid Stories From TruStori3z

Think being a successful cam model is easy in this business? You just might need more insight before taking the “easy” to the top, if that’s the case! The good news? We believe it's all about embracing who you are, deep down. And, a blend of organizational skills, treating content like art and fan engagement with your unique brand.

Let’s start with self-discipline. We like to get up nice and early in the morning, have coffee and start getting ready, while putting our heads together to see how we want to take on the day. We also have a schedule for the week, Sunday through Saturday, which constantly changes, but thank god for white boards and dry erasers! Being able to see our task in front of us really helps us to stay focused and on course with what we want to do. To be fair, schedules take some time to get used to, but they are well worth it once you get them down.

When you see a tipper come in your room, acknowledge that you remember their love from before and they will likely love you again. Making people feel important is one of the key pointers to stress here.

The reason why it’s a good idea to get up early is because it allows us more time in a day. And we like keeping a schedule, because our fans like to know when we will be on so they can meet us there. And we find that when we are consistent with a schedule, our fans are consistent with showing up in our room and showing love. We like to think of it like … if we want to see our favorite TV series, we know the time and date it airs, so we don't want to miss it. Same time every week, you know when your show is going to be on.

Another piece of gold for all to cherish is creating your own content with your own look. We believe a lot of models are too hard on themselves and are mistaken that they have to compare to or be like something that already exists, already doing well or already big. That's a good way to keep yourself in a hole.

Be creative and create content until you are happy with your product and in turn you will have a thick library of your creations, your very own brand and art. Thinking of your work as art elevates your productivity. You can see things in a different light and it makes your "work" so much more fun … from the colors you put on, to the way you interact with the cameras and your playmates or whatever you are playing with.

With creating clips and content, you can't go wrong, because editing is an amazing thing. Take your time and if you mess up, don't be in a rush! Look for your best angles and what light most suits you. And if all else fails, save it to a blooper folder and if you’re comfortable, sell it somewhere else.

And finally, for all the couples out there like us, the chemistry between you both is the magic of what the fans love. From hardcore fucking to sensual lovemaking, it doesn't matter what the act is … what matters is how you portray it. You want to make the people viewing your art feel the energy so good, they think they are living it. You want them to feel your chemistry enough that they want to be a part of it. Make them follow all of your social media links due to your vibes. Free gold y'all!

And, be sure to keep your fans involved. Do things like raffles and contest to keep your fans’ attention. Who doesn't like to feel important? Send your tippers away with a few freebies (photo sets, clips, any merch). When you see a tipper come in your room, acknowledge that you remember their love from before and they will likely love you again. Making people feel important is one of the key pointers to stress here.

Well that's about all the time we have left! We hope we have been able to provide a little light for some of you finding your way. Don't be afraid to share knowledge and help others find their way. There's enough love and knowledge for us all to win. And remember … you have to crawl before you walk!
