Mine is going to be about how I got into the world of camming (and content making). I get asked this question a lot and so I thought this would be a good subject for my first blog.

For as long as I can remember I had my mind set on a particular career. Every stage of my education was a step closer for me and was geared towards this particular job. I studied hard at college and got the A Levels I needed to go to University to really begin working towards my dream. 4 years later, I graduated. I had done it! It had been bloody hard with many ups and downs. But I was there. I couldn't believe it! But this is where the real hard work came. Trying to get a job. I spent the next 8 years in and out of work. Mostly temporary. Finally I got that permanent position. I had bloody done it. It was mine.!!!

The first year was amazing. I was living my dream. Slowly things began to go downhill and I realised this job was not at all what I imagined it to be. Although I cannot reveal what the job was, I can tell you that it made me thoroughly miserable. It stole my life. I had no time. I was stressed and anxious. I was working all day, evenings and weekends. And I had no money.

After 3 years in my job, I felt like I was drowning. I broke down crying to the guy who was my partner at the time. He told me to quit. Quit!? I've worked my whole life to get here! It took me years to get this job. This wasn't even an option for me. I preservered. But things just got worse. I was falling into a deeper hole and could not climb back out. Whilst driving to work on a morning, I started thinking that if I had a crash, at least I wouldn't have to go in to work. I knew I had reached the end.

So, I resigned. Two months later, I left. The cloud lifted. I climbed out the hole. And I stood and looked at the sky for the first time in years. I was free. Free from my dream that had turned into a nightmare.

But I was also jobless and broke. What an Earth am I going to do now? I spent a lot of time searching the Internet for jobs. I even did a little bar work. I was starting to get pretty anxious about my life.

I sat down one day and typed in 'ways to make money online.' I had done this many times before. But this particular day, the Internet loop brought me to a page about camming. You can get paid for being on a webcam? No way! I was curious and joined Chaturbate. I made an account for a laugh. Sent in my ID and within an hour I was ready to stream. So I logged on and people started coming in my room and chatting to me. I asked them what on Earth I was supposed to be doing! Some people tried to help me. Then I started getting tokens. Well this was just bizarre. I did a few more streams over the next few days. My account said I had made $500. No way. This has got to be a scam. I did not believe it for a second. A week later, a cheque landed on my mat. No way!!!

I am going to end it there. I would love to share a blog post all about my journey as a cam model if you're interested. If this isn't something you guys like, just let me know.

Thanks for getting to the end of this with me. I hope you enjoyed a little insight into this part of my life. 🥰
