Utilizing Apps to Facilitate Cam Shows

Utilizing Apps to Facilitate Cam Shows

I have been camming on Chaturbate for five years as HimexMarie. I first started doing so after getting out of a shitty relationship; I was looking for validation and a way to feel beautiful again. It’s an amazing job that not only helps build your confidence and lets you work from the privacy of your own home, but also offers several revenue streams and ways to make money. You can create fan clubs, play games, go cam-to-cam and more. I’ve also discovered a great community and developed confidence in myself I never knew I had.

One secret tool I love to use during my cam shows, which is great for regulating your cam room and helping to reach your goals, is apps and bots. Over the years, I have learned many tips and tricks on how to best control my room, reach my goals and keep trolls at bay. I’m going to share with you how to use apps and bots to increase your income and automate your room.

Even when my [bot] tip menu pops up in the chat, I only list a few things so there isn’t a huge block of text in my chat that distracts from the actual conversation.

Finding Apps That Work for You

There are many different apps and bots you can integrate into your show to play games, showcase your tip menu, advertise your content, count your tokens and more. It can be overwhelming looking at all the app options while trying to find what works best for your show, but trial and error is always your best bet. Check out the list of “all-time favorite” apps or what is the most popular, to see what other models are using. Another tip is to watch other models’ shows and see what apps they have integrated into their shows. If you can’t find what you are looking for, the apps and bots are open-source, so you can build your own with functions that work for your room.

The Simpler, the Better

When it comes to my cam shows, the simpler, the better. I prefer apps that improve my show and keep the focus on me, rather than distract the audience. I run an auto-reset tip app that automatically resets my goals when they are met; an app that mutes the grays; and the ultra bot that showcases my tip menu, top tips and more. For me, it’s important that these tools help facilitate my show and chat to be successful, rather than take over. Even when my [bot] tip menu pops up in the chat, I only list a few things so there isn’t a huge block of text in my chat that distracts from the actual conversation.

Apps for Entertainment

One thing I have found about camming is that many users just want someone to chill and unwind with. Most people are just lonely and are looking for someone to talk to. That’s why keeping the conversation going in your room is key to success. Chaturbate recently announced that broadcasters with at least 174 messages during their broadcast on average generate 353% more followers, 298% more tokens and have 299% more viewers than broadcasts with fewer messages. As long as you are talking, it will keep the show and flow going. If it’s a slow night, apps and bots can help. I’ll try testing out different ones with my fans. There are so many games you can play for them to start tipping. Also, if you have a certain talent, integrate that to your advantage: Use the tip jar app while you hula hoop, or try out a goal app while you do ballet.

Camming offers an amazing space for you to connect with people around the world and build relationships. Your cam site’s features are there to help you do that, so use them to your advantage and make sure they are working for you.
