When you're a busy cam model, it can be hard to take the time to update your cam profile. This is typically something you do when you first register an account on a cam site, but it's easy to let it go for a while as you focus on your members. However, your cam profile is actually more important than many models think.
Think of it as your store window. Your cam profile is where a potential new fan can learn more about who you are and what you have to offer. An unfinished or half-done profile looks unprofessional and sends a message that you may not have plans to stick around for a while. So why should a member care about sticking around for you?

Imagine going into your favorite store. There is a nice logo outside and a beautiful window display, but once you walk inside it’s not even clean. Everything looks very disorganized and you are not really sure what the store is offering or what things cost. This is the same feeling you are giving a member that comes into your room when you don’t have a clear profile.
So, what should you put in your profile? Going back to the shop example, it’s very important to let people know who you are and what your online cam personality is like. It’s also important to let people know what you are offering. That's why the first thing you should add, and always keep updated, is an “About Me” section, along with information on what you are willing to do and for what amount of tokens.
As human beings, we are often buying with our eyes, so make sure you have a lot of pictures and videos of yourself in your profile. On many platforms, you are also able to sell picture sets and videos in your profile, but it’s essential to offer some galleries and videos for free so members know what to expect from your paid options.
Another key tip is to avoid mistakes in your profile, especially when it comes to social media links. Many cam sites offer models the option to link to their social media accounts in their profile. You should take full advantage of this, because building up your social media presence is very important for keeping your members interested when you are not camming and letting your followers know when you go online.
We know that social media is hard for a cam performer, because sometimes your accounts can be closed down. Make sure you update your profile if and when this happens. Don’t send members to links that are not working! It is very frustrating for users who are not able to find you when you already offered a link.
As far as designing your profile, different cam sites have various options for customizing your profile the way you want. For example, Stripchat has just launched its new profile option with custom panels. Models can now design their profiles to their own liking and have their own “About Me” panel, tip menu panel, schedules, show announcements and even blogs with images and direct links. The best part is that it works perfectly on mobile too.
So, check the cam site you are using to see how you can update and customize your own profile. It’s your store window, and an important way for you to let members know who you are and what you are offering — so they'll come inside and buy.
