At the age of 18, Arthur was recruited to a webcam show. Since then, through drugs, scandals and forbidden personal meetings with members, he has worked his way up to the owner of his own Studio in St. Petersburg. He knows about the peculiarities of police raids, and about the short-sightedness of Chechen raiders, and about the generosity of the sons of British Ministers.
I didn't sleep with other camgirls, not when I was a model myself, not when I became a Manager - well, I just gave it to my mouth. Let's say one girl needed to promote an account. I said I could offer my services. "What should I do?» - "You need to suck my cock on camera, it will help a lot."
Every tenth girl in St. Petersburg has ever tried a webcam-this phrase is popular among the employees themselves, although there are no official statistics. Vice magazine in 2014 called Romania the center of erotic video broadcasts, but now the capital of webcam is St. Petersburg: there are more than 200 studios here, there is no such thing anywhere in the world. The largest one has Windows directly facing the inscription "hero City of Leningrad" in front of the Central station.
Thousands of articles have been written about webcam porn over the past 20 years. For girls from the CIS, this seems to be a safe way to earn money on their body without violence, and at the same time overcome complexes. It is much less common to mention that they usually come to Webcams by invitation: there are special employees - "scouts", "managers" or "agents" - who lure models into this field in order to receive 10-20% of their income, sometimes for life. Reporter Kirill Rukov has been looking for such a person for two years. At the age of eighteen, Arthur* himself was recruited into a webcam show. Since then, through drugs, scandals and forbidden personal meetings, he has worked his way up to the owner of his own Studio. He knows about the peculiarities of police raids, and about the short-sightedness of Chechen raiders, and about the generosity of the sons of British Ministers.
I was born in St. Petersburg. My father had a business, but it was taken away in the nineties. My mother now works as a fortune teller, lays out cards at home. I once come to her, say, they say, you won't believe where I got a job: jerk off to the camera. My mother says: why don't I believe it? In the noughties, I also tried to join this topic. It's funny, I guess destiny, the family business.
I was then kicked out of my final year of College, got a job at A pull and Bear clothing store, then worked as a waiter in Kolpino at a gym for 600 rubles a day. Then a friend from school and says: "Come to work". He did not come from far away, did, like all spammers now, copied and pasted a message in Vkontakte with the conditions: they say, you need to communicate with foreigners on the Internet, you will raise a lot of money. I immediately knew it was about webcam, but why was he texting me? I'm a guy. I spent six months trying to coax them, dripping on their brains every month. In the end, I was so burned out by running errands that I agreed to try it.
I remember it was very late, we went to the basement in the area of "Chernyshevskaya", this is Solyanoy lane. "So, are you going to jerk off to the camera?» - "If they pay normally, then okay." I took a photo for a website with a passport to check my age. The owner of the Studio was a fucking man, but he knew the business like a handsome man, he pulled everyone up. He told me how to breed and create images. I memorized it all, absorbed it. At the same time, he had a lot of fines: did not smile at the camera - a couple of thousand fine; was a minute late - a couple of thousand fine; absenteeism of the shift - six thousand. He disliked disobedience as much as possible.
I sit in front of the camera for the first shift - I don't understand anything. The Manager is nearby, texting the members for me, and I just pretend to type. Suddenly something pings, and he says that I have a private chat. Operators only help newcomers, because they share a percentage of the model: of course, models don't like this. At first, my earnings were very chaotic, sometimes 2 thousand per shift, then only 300 rubles. The main task during this period is to gain an audience of regulars, that is, your personal fans who come only to watch you. It's harder for guys. Jerked off, came — and you can't go on forever. You have to relax in communication to delay the orgasm. I still had everything fine, I finished several times, in parallel, I turned on porn on the screen. Well, it's just that when people look at you, you feel some kind of pleasure. As a result, I started to overwork so much that my head hurt. My temples felt heavy.
Another option is to do a show with toys. I switched to this one because my English is bad. I don't care about it: I'm straight, but I don't have any moral principles, like, Oh, society will judge me if I shove something up my ass. I just sat on this rubber dick and thought: "Okay, I don't feel anything. Well, great, you can work." I didn't even have any inclinations in the end, it was just for work. Six months later, I was already earning 200 thousand a month quietly.
I called all my friends there, and I got my best friend on the spot. We've made it to the top of Russia: the first five boy models on the site were from our Studio. I was the third. At the same time, the Studio was strictly linked to one site, and the model's account was created there once - the model will no longer be able to leave to work independently, it is forever linked to the Studio or to the scout who brought it. Even if she tries to fake her passport, the site will track her down by her face and block her.
Gradually, my own shows became more complicated, for example, I dressed up for the New year in a Santa Claus costume, we got burned out with the members-I behaved like an ordinary streamer. Sometimes he would turn the camera over to the screen, and we would stupidly watch movies together. Or one day I came in very tired and wrote: "Can I sleep in private with someone?» Some guy said," Okay, " and so I spent two hours sleeping on his screen for a per-minute fee.
Arthur crosses the line
I was molested as a child, at the age of 12. On the beach, I met a 40 year old woman who rented a summer cottage with our family-then I had sex with her, and a couple of days later-with her daughter. It was in the Crimea, back in Ukraine. When I think back now - I think it was great. I love orgies and all sorts of uninhibited shit, but it's hard for me to be the first to make contact in real life. I've never been in a relationship. Only at the age of 16 the last time I was in love, I tried to meet - it doesn't work out. It's easy to talk me into having sex, but afterward I feel like I don't want anything more with this girl. Burns out and that's it.
I didn't sleep with other camgirls, not when I was a model myself, not when I became a Manager - well, I just gave it to my mouth. Let's say one girl needed to promote an account. I said I could offer my services. "What should I do?» - "You need to suck my cock on camera, it will help a lot." I just know very well what angles work. For three hours of Blowjob, she earned 10 thousand rubles. I know how to hold back for a long time when it's for work. No, it was nice, but still for work. This is already a professional reformation. I watch live streams of celebrity Webcams and analyze what I can learn from them. for example, I recently realized that smiling models earn statistically more than frowning ones. You need to build contact, the person should not feel that he is far from you. This business is selling emotions.
In 2017, an Englishman saw me as an advertising banner somewhere on a porn site and went into private, just to talk. His father works in the British government, his wife has children. He says he doesn't have a gender, he just likes people, and especially Russians. He became my investor. Once I go to private, and he says: "I Heard you want a MacBook? Look what I bought you, " and shows the box to the camera. I think, Oh my God, fuck! This is the first time in my life that someone has done something like this to me. I lied to him a lot, telling him that I loved him, that he was the best and all that. Then he came to me in St. Petersburg, stayed at the Astoria . Nothing ever happened between us. I wanted to take him to the Hermitage there, but he said, relax. We just went for a walk, bought me clothes, and then watched movies in English at the hotel. We talked. When he left - we continued to communicate. He became like a sidekick to me, but who also gives me a lot of fucking money. A very lonely person.
Foreigners simply praise Russian models, we are directly a separate category of "rushes" on American sites. On the contrary, I have never worked with Russian viewers, in principle. Most sites automatically hide Russian models from visitors from Russia. There are too many inadequate ones, and they, of course, leave less money. This is simply not safe: one girl from our Studio was seduced and blackmailed: "Throw off 15 thousand on kiwi, otherwise we will send photos from the stream to your relatives", - classic. I always advise you not to pay, otherwise it will ask for more and more. The girl eventually just accepted that she was burned down — I had to leave the webcam forever.
Can the model make it impossible to find and "delete" it?
No, unfortunately, it can't. The Internet is true to its main principle: everything that gets into it stays there forever. There are scripts and porn harvesters that automatically save and download terabytes of new content per hour. Recordings of popular Webcams are automatically uploaded to video hosting sites like CamWhoresHD, Biqle, and many others. If special face search services allow you to pay to remove yourself and your face from the results, then search giants like Yandex and Google do not have such a service.
Webcam girls regularly experience problems with deanons, harassment, harassment, and extortion because they hide their work from family, friends, or relatives. For this and other reasons, about a quarter of the girls who tried to leave the webcam show eventually return to it.
I worked as a model for a year, until one day my roommate stole my regular. Previously, this foreigner was mine and could leave 200 thousand rubles for a shift, but a friend exchanged personal data with him - and he stopped coming to me, began to pay him directly. This means that the Studio also stopped receiving its percentage. The boss scouted everything and fired me, thinking that I had a share.
And here I am, 19 years old, a successful unemployed webcam guy tied to one website and one Studio that kicked me out. After this area, it is very difficult to get a normal job, it is morally difficult to get 30 thousand a month after 100 a week. For the next six months, I didn't do anything, the dude who took my member away shared, brought food. We used to hang out a lot, and one day I Wake up and his girlfriend puts it up my nose and it was really fun for her. I'm hooked on this shit, started to throw on top of [a substance]. Without tinplate, but often in a short period of time. I sold my watch, I sold my MacBook. I didn't need them anyway, just lay there. Then I got a text from a guy who decided to open his own Studio - and he needed help finding models. He said if I brought him the girls, I'd get 20% off each one. I'm like, what? No one will pay 20%. But he said it was true. As long as this model works, 20% of the Studio's share is mine. We met to discuss it: with the Studio, this is not done in any way, the money is given in cash in an envelope, sometimes it is withdrawn through the crypt and thrown to the card.
Arthur pulls the girls over
Here, for example, for men in the webcam fuck-this is if you are a Jock. Cute drysch, but with a big dick - also good. A big dick for boys is generally the most important thing, they look at guys with small ones only for fun, no one will pay for them. It's not like that for girls at all, a girl always finds her admirer. One day such a fat, very fat woman came to an interview. I think, well, I'll be patient. She leaves from the first shift - 15 thousand rubles. I look at her chat, and there's some dude just already going crazy for her: "I love you, I just adore you." Then I realized that this is a complete random. The series "Euphoria" perfectly described the members. If the model knows how, she will directly push him: "Bitch, throw me money, you dirty animal..." and he really throws! I couldn't do that
At the same time, I began to write to everyone I knew from the Studio where I worked - to drag them out. Of course, this is bestial, but after all, if your employees leave you, then you are doing something wrong? Usually everything goes without banditry, but there are idiotic excesses: I know one successful Celik whose Studio was discovered by Chechen raiders. They ambushed him at his house, kidnapped him, and then beat him for several hours to hand over his models, asking him to rewrite their accounts. Apparently, there were downs, because you can't rewrite your accounts, it's just impossible, and girls won't start working for impostors from scratch, because for what?
As a result, the boy was released, the Chechens opened their own Studio - and naturally their girl died. I strangled myself for a member — and went too far (it happened on September 15, 2018 in the basement Studio at 9 Smolny Prospekt; the tragedy hit the news). They didn't help me in time, because the organization was fucked up. No one gave a shit. I immediately set myself the goal that in the studios where I manage, such sloppiness will not happen. You can't treat models like meat - I've been through it myself.
But first you had to find more, narrow down the search area. I began to choose candidates in groups like "Vpiski SPb", in" Tinder "I paid attention to those who write in the account calmly about sex, "04: 20" and all that. The chance that they will agree to try is always higher, this is a marker. "Hi, how are you? Where do you study? " - and then immediately shared everything as it is. That I worked as a model myself and now I'm looking for promising employees. You have potential, if you're interested, with your looks, you can try it too. He explained that a webcam is a good Foundation for getting started. Just a way to save up for something you really want-an education, a business, an apartment for sick parents. You can, of course, work like this until you're forty, but sooner or later it has to end. Many of my girls paid for their studies in this way. In any case, you can always just come and see how everything works. Let's talk, I'll tell you what I know and understand about it. On the street or in a cafe, I personally never picked up, it's hard for me to get acquainted with people like that. But I know scouts who do just that: they come to the bar in wheelbarrows, treat you and invite you. Of those who came to the interview, 100% agree to try at least one shift.
Try on the role of a webcam scout and Studio owner offers indie game HunieCam Studio from game designer Ryan Koons. At first glance, it can easily be mistaken for some kind of browser-based farm toy, only the main character has to take care not of flowers, but of a team of professional webcam models ?
The goal of the game is to bring your unusual business to a new level in three weeks of game time, getting as large an audience as possible hooked on a depraved hobby. Each girl will have to take care of, regularly invite to photo shoots, pay for visits to the beauty salon and Spa. The main character will not have to participate directly in the broadcasts themselves — it will be enough to send the right girl to the Studio, and after a while you will be able to take the margin.
We continue
In the fall of 2018, friends at a party suggested that I take matters into my own hands: they were looking for where to invest money, and I told them about the search for models. They believed in me and got the idea to open a Studio together, each of them getting a percentage of the total profit. We found a room and opened it in may. The law banning hostels came out very well: many landlords have no options left to rent out giant apartments with a bunch of small rooms. And webcam studios are perfect, they have occupied a whole niche of real estate (the same thing happened again in quarantine: St. Petersburg hostels, left without guests, began to rent out their rooms for webcam studios in order to somehow recapture the rent.). A minimum of 600,000 thousand is needed to equip a bad basement from scratch. For a normal Studio-from 2 million. Now word of mouth has finally started working, the models themselves are pulling up to me, calling friends. It really warms my soul.
Experienced Webcams immediately knock on the door with the question: "what percentage, what is the design of the rooms?" Rooms, that is, this working background in the frame, are very important for models. And I don't specifically hire third - party designers, I do everything myself-I still have a lot of ideas, I want to make a space room, then an Egyptian one. I really enjoy doing this. I bought a bike, painted it, put it on, and looked for special light bulbs. I bought an old TV set from a flea market, a Siemens or Suzuki, and then a vintage lamp. So gradually collect the image and discuss with the models: "In this room, you will have such a role. You have a very interesting appearance, you can go in like a child."
Everyone knows Arthur
The cops have only two options for pinning down the Cam guys: they can try to turn the Studio into a brothel but there is no legal basis, because webcam is not prostitution. Even the roof is not needed, only fools spend money on it. The only thing they can do is come and pick up the hard drives. But they do not, because we're doing the stream and not the video. At most-some screenshots, but they will not prove anything, they are just pictures, you can download them from the Internet. The main thing is to have a good lawyer. The cops come and understand everything, too, because they've been working in St. Petersburg for years. You tell them, "All right, guys, take your fucking hards and get the fuck out of here. My lawyer is on his way." Well, they will also deliver models to the Department: it is unpleasant, of course, they will sit there for a couple of hours but they are also released in the end, because there is nothing to show.
The second option is to design the Studio as a hangout. Webcam girls often use stimulants to somehow take out shifts, work more hours. No one is a hard addict, of course, but there are those who spend all their money on [substance] at once. I realized this when I became an administrator myself: it turns out that some studios themselves are interested in models getting a little hooked, spending their money right away and again taking more shifts. I have special rules about drugs at my Studio: you can come in already stoned, but you can't have anything on you at work.
I thought it was all illegal and done in secret!
Modern webcam studios beautiful sites, where you will find specified address. They maintain "instagrams" and other social networks, give direct phone numbers of managers and agents. There are even special catalogs of studios, which clearly show that there are really most of them in St. Petersburg, and a search in Yandex and Google Maps perfectly indexes them on the city map. We also found ads on Avito for renting turnkey ready-made webcam studios from prestigious realtors.
The webcam icon in recent years has become an led ring lamp on a tripod — the cheapest lighting for streamers. In St. Petersburg, ring lamps are now sold in literally every newspaper stall, even in the metro, in mobile phone stores, as well as in to go coffee shops and grocery stores — almost like masks in the era of coronavirus.
Who I'm not suggesting is gopnik. Out of personal dislike. He sits in the Studio for an hour, then comes out to me in the corridor: "I thought there would be women, but there are faggots looking at me. Don't, fuck it, " and so on every time. Once I bought an ad, I was looking for guys and random fifty-year-old men started writing to me. Okay, if they don't know the language, the dictionary with their lines is always on the screen in Word. So they are not even able to" Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V " quickly. The oldest I had was a 50-year-old woman. She was brought by a young guy who worked together but not for long. There was even a 55-year-old Belarusian who did not stay after the first shift: he typed too slowly on the keyboard, and everyone left before he had time to finish the sentence. He says maybe I'll come with my wife. I say, well, you can, but which one of you will correspond?
The most annoying age is 18-19 years old. They don't know how to work properly yet, so that at least some discipline has emerged. And if the girl has already worked as a waitress — everything is clear for her. "Eight o'clock? Not so much." Real models rarely try out Webcams. First of all, they worry too much about their main job, because fashion agencies don't allow such shit.
Secondly, she comes, hears the conditions and says: "how Many hours to sit in front of the camera? You're fucked up!»
The most profitable ones for the Studio are pairs. For them, this is unprofitable, because they divide their income in half, but for the Studio-one room brings a hundred a month calmly. At the same time, they can quarrel, and then everything will go straight to the pussy, the Studio's earnings plummet. Therefore, with them endless experiences, as in "Dom-2". Sometimes the guys get to know each other in the Studio during a break and then decide to try it out together. But if, for example, a guy already has an account and his audience considers him gay - I will not allow him to Shine with the girl. Because you little brute just wants to fuck on camera, I know you just want to fuck and get paid for it. And your permanent partner finds out that you are straight and leaves - you will be left without money. I need to be wiser than my guys, that's the point.
I have a TRANS chic, workaholic working in my Studio right now. Every day without days off. She asks if it's okay to sleep in the Studio? I allow it. He sleeps for a couple of hours and then works again. There is no separate room, an empty room is lost money. So he sleeps right in the kitchen, on the couch. He'll probably take a vacation soon. I came up with an idea to do it as under an employment contract: you will work for six months without fines - we pay for vacation as support: "thank You for choosing us."
The pandemic has not changed anything, except that there are more webcam girls in the world, which means that the competition has become stronger. And we already used the sanitizers. Our Tajik cleaner is a very good woman, cleans everything for 1000 rubles in a couple of hours every three days. She has such a specialization, only works in webcam studios, she is well known in this field.
It is meaningless to compare it with prostitution, prostitutes are physically touched, groped and fucked. This is unpleasant. And in the webcam, you don't even see the members, you just text. In fact, you do the show for yourself. I think the difference needs to be understood from personal experience. I've been in contact with prostitutes. They say that after sex they can start crying because it's hard, they don't take them out. I've never seen anything like this in a webcam, no horror movies where someone sits, cries, jerks off, but continues to jerk off and work. If someone had a mental breakdown, they just left.
Professional burnout, of course, exists. My best friend also became a webcam performer at my invitation. Now she is no longer emotionally taking out. Physically, everything is fine, but she stopped dividing the spheres of life. Now she sees everyone as members, any personal non-working communication with men has become consumer, all habits. But she still stays in the webcam because she likes money. It's addictive. Even if a person comes to me and says ," I like your business, I want to buy it, here's a lot of money," I still won't sell it. I love him too much. If there is a lot of money - I will sell it, use this money to open it again in another place and just drag all my girls there again. They know me.

I lied to him a lot, telling him that I loved him, that he was the best and all that. Then he came to me in St. Petersburg, stayed at the Astoria . Nothing ever happened between us. I wanted to take him to the Hermitage there, but he said, relax. We just went for a walk, bought me clothes, and then watched movies in English at the hotel. We talked. When he left - we continued to communicate. He became like a sidekick to me, but who also gives me a lot of fucking money. A very lonely person.
Foreigners simply praise Russian models, we are directly a separate category of "rushes" on American sites. On the contrary, I have never worked with Russian viewers, in principle. Most sites automatically hide Russian models from visitors from Russia. There are too many inadequate ones, and they, of course, leave less money. This is simply not safe: one girl from our Studio was seduced and blackmailed: "Throw off 15 thousand on kiwi, otherwise we will send photos from the stream to your relatives", - classic. I always advise you not to pay, otherwise it will ask for more and more. The girl eventually just accepted that she was burned down — I had to leave the webcam forever.
Can the model make it impossible to find and "delete" it?
No, unfortunately, it can't. The Internet is true to its main principle: everything that gets into it stays there forever. There are scripts and porn harvesters that automatically save and download terabytes of new content per hour. Recordings of popular Webcams are automatically uploaded to video hosting sites like CamWhoresHD, Biqle, and many others. If special face search services allow you to pay to remove yourself and your face from the results, then search giants like Yandex and Google do not have such a service.
Webcam girls regularly experience problems with deanons, harassment, harassment, and extortion because they hide their work from family, friends, or relatives. For this and other reasons, about a quarter of the girls who tried to leave the webcam show eventually return to it.
I worked as a model for a year, until one day my roommate stole my regular. Previously, this foreigner was mine and could leave 200 thousand rubles for a shift, but a friend exchanged personal data with him - and he stopped coming to me, began to pay him directly. This means that the Studio also stopped receiving its percentage. The boss scouted everything and fired me, thinking that I had a share.
And here I am, 19 years old, a successful unemployed webcam guy tied to one website and one Studio that kicked me out. After this area, it is very difficult to get a normal job, it is morally difficult to get 30 thousand a month after 100 a week. For the next six months, I didn't do anything, the dude who took my member away shared, brought food. We used to hang out a lot, and one day I Wake up and his girlfriend puts it up my nose and it was really fun for her. I'm hooked on this shit, started to throw on top of [a substance]. Without tinplate, but often in a short period of time. I sold my watch, I sold my MacBook. I didn't need them anyway, just lay there. Then I got a text from a guy who decided to open his own Studio - and he needed help finding models. He said if I brought him the girls, I'd get 20% off each one. I'm like, what? No one will pay 20%. But he said it was true. As long as this model works, 20% of the Studio's share is mine. We met to discuss it: with the Studio, this is not done in any way, the money is given in cash in an envelope, sometimes it is withdrawn through the crypt and thrown to the card.
Arthur pulls the girls over
Here, for example, for men in the webcam fuck-this is if you are a Jock. Cute drysch, but with a big dick - also good. A big dick for boys is generally the most important thing, they look at guys with small ones only for fun, no one will pay for them. It's not like that for girls at all, a girl always finds her admirer. One day such a fat, very fat woman came to an interview. I think, well, I'll be patient. She leaves from the first shift - 15 thousand rubles. I look at her chat, and there's some dude just already going crazy for her: "I love you, I just adore you." Then I realized that this is a complete random. The series "Euphoria" perfectly described the members. If the model knows how, she will directly push him: "Bitch, throw me money, you dirty animal..." and he really throws! I couldn't do that
At the same time, I began to write to everyone I knew from the Studio where I worked - to drag them out. Of course, this is bestial, but after all, if your employees leave you, then you are doing something wrong? Usually everything goes without banditry, but there are idiotic excesses: I know one successful Celik whose Studio was discovered by Chechen raiders. They ambushed him at his house, kidnapped him, and then beat him for several hours to hand over his models, asking him to rewrite their accounts. Apparently, there were downs, because you can't rewrite your accounts, it's just impossible, and girls won't start working for impostors from scratch, because for what?
As a result, the boy was released, the Chechens opened their own Studio - and naturally their girl died. I strangled myself for a member — and went too far (it happened on September 15, 2018 in the basement Studio at 9 Smolny Prospekt; the tragedy hit the news). They didn't help me in time, because the organization was fucked up. No one gave a shit. I immediately set myself the goal that in the studios where I manage, such sloppiness will not happen. You can't treat models like meat - I've been through it myself.
But first you had to find more, narrow down the search area. I began to choose candidates in groups like "Vpiski SPb", in" Tinder "I paid attention to those who write in the account calmly about sex, "04: 20" and all that. The chance that they will agree to try is always higher, this is a marker. "Hi, how are you? Where do you study? " - and then immediately shared everything as it is. That I worked as a model myself and now I'm looking for promising employees. You have potential, if you're interested, with your looks, you can try it too. He explained that a webcam is a good Foundation for getting started. Just a way to save up for something you really want-an education, a business, an apartment for sick parents. You can, of course, work like this until you're forty, but sooner or later it has to end. Many of my girls paid for their studies in this way. In any case, you can always just come and see how everything works. Let's talk, I'll tell you what I know and understand about it. On the street or in a cafe, I personally never picked up, it's hard for me to get acquainted with people like that. But I know scouts who do just that: they come to the bar in wheelbarrows, treat you and invite you. Of those who came to the interview, 100% agree to try at least one shift.
Try on the role of a webcam scout and Studio owner offers indie game HunieCam Studio from game designer Ryan Koons. At first glance, it can easily be mistaken for some kind of browser-based farm toy, only the main character has to take care not of flowers, but of a team of professional webcam models ?
The goal of the game is to bring your unusual business to a new level in three weeks of game time, getting as large an audience as possible hooked on a depraved hobby. Each girl will have to take care of, regularly invite to photo shoots, pay for visits to the beauty salon and Spa. The main character will not have to participate directly in the broadcasts themselves — it will be enough to send the right girl to the Studio, and after a while you will be able to take the margin.
We continue
In the fall of 2018, friends at a party suggested that I take matters into my own hands: they were looking for where to invest money, and I told them about the search for models. They believed in me and got the idea to open a Studio together, each of them getting a percentage of the total profit. We found a room and opened it in may. The law banning hostels came out very well: many landlords have no options left to rent out giant apartments with a bunch of small rooms. And webcam studios are perfect, they have occupied a whole niche of real estate (the same thing happened again in quarantine: St. Petersburg hostels, left without guests, began to rent out their rooms for webcam studios in order to somehow recapture the rent.). A minimum of 600,000 thousand is needed to equip a bad basement from scratch. For a normal Studio-from 2 million. Now word of mouth has finally started working, the models themselves are pulling up to me, calling friends. It really warms my soul.
Experienced Webcams immediately knock on the door with the question: "what percentage, what is the design of the rooms?" Rooms, that is, this working background in the frame, are very important for models. And I don't specifically hire third - party designers, I do everything myself-I still have a lot of ideas, I want to make a space room, then an Egyptian one. I really enjoy doing this. I bought a bike, painted it, put it on, and looked for special light bulbs. I bought an old TV set from a flea market, a Siemens or Suzuki, and then a vintage lamp. So gradually collect the image and discuss with the models: "In this room, you will have such a role. You have a very interesting appearance, you can go in like a child."
Everyone knows Arthur
The cops have only two options for pinning down the Cam guys: they can try to turn the Studio into a brothel but there is no legal basis, because webcam is not prostitution. Even the roof is not needed, only fools spend money on it. The only thing they can do is come and pick up the hard drives. But they do not, because we're doing the stream and not the video. At most-some screenshots, but they will not prove anything, they are just pictures, you can download them from the Internet. The main thing is to have a good lawyer. The cops come and understand everything, too, because they've been working in St. Petersburg for years. You tell them, "All right, guys, take your fucking hards and get the fuck out of here. My lawyer is on his way." Well, they will also deliver models to the Department: it is unpleasant, of course, they will sit there for a couple of hours but they are also released in the end, because there is nothing to show.
The second option is to design the Studio as a hangout. Webcam girls often use stimulants to somehow take out shifts, work more hours. No one is a hard addict, of course, but there are those who spend all their money on [substance] at once. I realized this when I became an administrator myself: it turns out that some studios themselves are interested in models getting a little hooked, spending their money right away and again taking more shifts. I have special rules about drugs at my Studio: you can come in already stoned, but you can't have anything on you at work.
I thought it was all illegal and done in secret!
Modern webcam studios beautiful sites, where you will find specified address. They maintain "instagrams" and other social networks, give direct phone numbers of managers and agents. There are even special catalogs of studios, which clearly show that there are really most of them in St. Petersburg, and a search in Yandex and Google Maps perfectly indexes them on the city map. We also found ads on Avito for renting turnkey ready-made webcam studios from prestigious realtors.
The webcam icon in recent years has become an led ring lamp on a tripod — the cheapest lighting for streamers. In St. Petersburg, ring lamps are now sold in literally every newspaper stall, even in the metro, in mobile phone stores, as well as in to go coffee shops and grocery stores — almost like masks in the era of coronavirus.
Who I'm not suggesting is gopnik. Out of personal dislike. He sits in the Studio for an hour, then comes out to me in the corridor: "I thought there would be women, but there are faggots looking at me. Don't, fuck it, " and so on every time. Once I bought an ad, I was looking for guys and random fifty-year-old men started writing to me. Okay, if they don't know the language, the dictionary with their lines is always on the screen in Word. So they are not even able to" Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V " quickly. The oldest I had was a 50-year-old woman. She was brought by a young guy who worked together but not for long. There was even a 55-year-old Belarusian who did not stay after the first shift: he typed too slowly on the keyboard, and everyone left before he had time to finish the sentence. He says maybe I'll come with my wife. I say, well, you can, but which one of you will correspond?
The most annoying age is 18-19 years old. They don't know how to work properly yet, so that at least some discipline has emerged. And if the girl has already worked as a waitress — everything is clear for her. "Eight o'clock? Not so much." Real models rarely try out Webcams. First of all, they worry too much about their main job, because fashion agencies don't allow such shit.
Secondly, she comes, hears the conditions and says: "how Many hours to sit in front of the camera? You're fucked up!»
The most profitable ones for the Studio are pairs. For them, this is unprofitable, because they divide their income in half, but for the Studio-one room brings a hundred a month calmly. At the same time, they can quarrel, and then everything will go straight to the pussy, the Studio's earnings plummet. Therefore, with them endless experiences, as in "Dom-2". Sometimes the guys get to know each other in the Studio during a break and then decide to try it out together. But if, for example, a guy already has an account and his audience considers him gay - I will not allow him to Shine with the girl. Because you little brute just wants to fuck on camera, I know you just want to fuck and get paid for it. And your permanent partner finds out that you are straight and leaves - you will be left without money. I need to be wiser than my guys, that's the point.
I have a TRANS chic, workaholic working in my Studio right now. Every day without days off. She asks if it's okay to sleep in the Studio? I allow it. He sleeps for a couple of hours and then works again. There is no separate room, an empty room is lost money. So he sleeps right in the kitchen, on the couch. He'll probably take a vacation soon. I came up with an idea to do it as under an employment contract: you will work for six months without fines - we pay for vacation as support: "thank You for choosing us."
The pandemic has not changed anything, except that there are more webcam girls in the world, which means that the competition has become stronger. And we already used the sanitizers. Our Tajik cleaner is a very good woman, cleans everything for 1000 rubles in a couple of hours every three days. She has such a specialization, only works in webcam studios, she is well known in this field.
It is meaningless to compare it with prostitution, prostitutes are physically touched, groped and fucked. This is unpleasant. And in the webcam, you don't even see the members, you just text. In fact, you do the show for yourself. I think the difference needs to be understood from personal experience. I've been in contact with prostitutes. They say that after sex they can start crying because it's hard, they don't take them out. I've never seen anything like this in a webcam, no horror movies where someone sits, cries, jerks off, but continues to jerk off and work. If someone had a mental breakdown, they just left.
Professional burnout, of course, exists. My best friend also became a webcam performer at my invitation. Now she is no longer emotionally taking out. Physically, everything is fine, but she stopped dividing the spheres of life. Now she sees everyone as members, any personal non-working communication with men has become consumer, all habits. But she still stays in the webcam because she likes money. It's addictive. Even if a person comes to me and says ," I like your business, I want to buy it, here's a lot of money," I still won't sell it. I love him too much. If there is a lot of money - I will sell it, use this money to open it again in another place and just drag all my girls there again. They know me.
