This other guy
asked me why I'm on here.

And I think he actually
got offended

that I didn't ask him
the same question,

which, as you know, I never do

because it seems
like we live in a time

where everyone's increasingly
becoming afraid

of being themselves sexually.

Nobody wants to be seen
putting themselves out there

in the real world,

because in real life,
you're deemed a pervert

or even a predator for
wanting to see a girl naked.

I think if a guy goes out
on a Tinder date with a girl

and asked her to do something
that she's not willing to do,

like, asked to see her naked,

that's immediately
deemed harassment.

But on cam,

that's who you're
expected to be.

That's what we're there for.

That's who you're
supposed to be.

Shhh.

It takes a village to
make a successful camsite.

And I'd like to thank
those of you in this room

for giving us a shot.

I'd like to thank
my partners back home

for helping me pay for all this

and the programmers
and the models

for spending so much time making
free webcams what it's become.

I've been in adult
for twenty‐plus years

in one form or the other,

and the cam business
is the most real

of all the businesses we do.

When you see girls online,
they're really the girls.

It's not video,
it's not pre‐recorded,

it's not fantasy, it's reality.

Theoretically, we're supposed
to imagine that cam is a person,

that's a guy, that's them.

You just need to act like
that camera is your boyfriend.

LiveJasmin right now
is world rank seventy‐three,

meaning that's the top
hundred of the whole world.

So ESPN is behind us.

I don't know, they're like
somewhere in the hundred,

hundred ten
or hundred something.

And then New York Times,
we passed them.

I think they're number ninety.

SoundCloud is right
behind us, you know.

So, yeah, we're up there.

You have monster
cam companies

doing hundred
million‐plus a year.

So, you take ten hundred
million‐plus companies

and you're at a billion dollars.

Ten companies
making a hundred million a year?

Yeah, I mean, it's
only ten million a month.

It's a business of slim margins.

Because they're slim margins,
you have to do volume.

We're all doing this
for the profit, you know.

And it's a labor of love.

But at the end of the day,
we want to make money doing it.

There's a lot
of moving parts to cams.

What are the
top five cam companies?

I'm going to say FreeWebcams.
That's number one.

And, you know, I mean the usual,

you know, Suspects,
you have Streamate,

you have MyFreeCams,
you have LiveJasmin,

you have, you know, Chaturbate.

You know, those are the majors.

He wakes up every day

thinking we're going
to change the world.

It's a very unique feeling that
you actually created something

that you have millions
of visitors every day.

It's really hard
to describe the feeling,

but it's a very special,
very amazing feeling he has.

The cam business
is very unique for adults

in the sense that broadcasters

really do have full control
of what they do.

You know, typically in the past

where you would have
prepackaged content,

you would have the director,

you would have a casting agent,

everyone shows up

and hoping for the girl
to give a good performance.

And her career was
kind of not in her control.

The camming business
is very unique

in the sense that broadcasters
are a hundred percent in control

of what they do on cam
and when they do it.

Chaturbate!

Thank you to everyone

for helping Chaturbate
start 2017 off with a big bang.

Really appreciate the award.
Thank you so much.

What is the best
part of the cam business?

My gosh! The success stories.

Stories from mothers

who were working
too much underpaid,

having issues putting
food on the table,

a roof over their head,
to the success stories

of now they're
living comfortably,

I think that is the best part
about being in this business.

I am a camgirl

and you can find me
exclusively on Chaturbate.

It wasn't until a year ago
that I saw all these articles

that were coming out
about camgirls

and how much money
these girls were making.

And it was just crazy to me.

It was so insane that a girl
that's in Idaho or Minnesota,

they're working from home
and they're making so much money

than girls that are porn stars.

So, I really decided that I was
going to dedicate myself

and I was going to do it right

and I was going to put
webcamming as a priority

instead of shooting scenes.

Everyone quiet, one second.
Avery interview take one.

- Okay, got this shit. Let's go.
- Do what you
do all day long.

I know but you guys
have faces now,

you aren't just usernames.

I was working multiple really
shitty minimum‐wage jobs.

This guy I was seeing
at the time

asked me if I wanted
to be a camgirl

and I was honestly,
"What the fuck is that."

He told me, and I was like,
"Yeah, what the hell,

I love my body, I want
to show it off for money."

So, he set up my account
and I became a camgirl.

Your mom and dad,
do they know that you cam?

My parents and close family
do not know I cam.

They think I sell
electronics on the internet.

They think I'm doing great.

I was working
a waitressing job,

but I was also camming.

But I couldn't cam at my house

because I still lived
at home with my parents.

Anytime I wasn't working,

I would just put
my uniform on and say,

"Hey, mom, going to work. Bye."

I'd really go to my friend's
house to go cam.

At that time too,
I was still new.

So, I was making maybe
two hundred, three hundred

within like an hour or two.

Do you have
your IDs on you?

Pull those out and then fill in
the information and paperwork.

Once you're done,
we'll get it all filed up

and get you started and
get you down to make up.

Okay. Sounds good.

I really do love sex,

and so I knew that it would be
extremely fun if I tried it out.

I mean, it couldn't hurt to try.

Hi, I'm Lilly Ford

and I have been camming
for about three days.

I definitely jump into
things pretty quickly.

I like to try and be spontaneous

and do things that
would surprise even me.

You get bored even with
like your daily life.

Sometimes like for this
I just decided to jump all in.

You're like go big
or go home, you know.

It's the way you got to go.

My daughter
was three months old

when I started camming.

I basically get to be a
stay‐at‐home mom during the day

and then after I put my daughter
to bed, I get to go to work.

And I work for usually
two to four hours

and make a pretty good check
and I get to go to sleep.

Then I get to wake up
and do it all over again.

But I don't have to sacrifice
time with my daughter

or be able to support
her financially.

We're comfortable
and I get to do both.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, twenty‐thousand
tokens you gave in.

I miss you too. How are you?

I discovered camming when
I was sixteen or seventeen.

I saw webcam girls,

the traditional
Romanian camgirls

sitting in a little studio

and I was fascinated.

As soon as I turned
eighteen, I signed up

and broadcasted from the privacy
in my closet with a hairbrush.

So, that's how I found
out about it first.

When I merged
with the studio owner,

my manager helped me
build a following

and get started on social media.

And then it just kind
of snowballed into what I am now

with having hundred thousand
followers on Twitter

and three hundred and sixty
thousand followers

on Chaturbate now.

I wake up at 6:00 a. m.

That's when I am already online.

I work until 4:00, 5:00, 6:00,
7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 p. m.

After that, I go
to the gym, I go home,

I shower, I take a sleep.

And, again, the next day
the same thing.

I really think that people
should know what this means,

that this is totally
different than they know.

People should get inside
of this and know the really,

the truly meaning
of being a camgirl.

We have three
rules in the company

that help us be good
and keep models.

Don't lie to your models.

Don't cheat on your models.

And don't sleep
with your models.

Studios are necessary
everywhere in the world.

We started in Romania.

We are now opening an LA studio
and a Colombia one.

Studios are necessary
because models need help.

What is AJ
Studios' training?

That could be anything?

Yes. When we are
going to hire our staff,

either monitors,
web designers or models,

any of our staff, we give
them a week training first,

you know, on what they
need to do, how to do it.

What we do in here
is we tell the girls

what's appropriate to use
for different shows,

what kind of toys
are selling more right now.

Our teacher here tell the girls,
you know, how to use them,

how much they should charge

if they're going
to use different toys,

what clothes are recommended.

We teach
our models, for example,

not to do anything for free,
but don't ask for money either.

And to be
very charming, tease.

We teach them a lot
how to tease the guys

and how to provoke the guys who
want to take them to private.

Not just sit there.
That's a bad way to do it.

Just a girl sit there and
just wait like, you know.

A guy just want to click and
private for just for her looks?

No. They have to be charming,
they have to tease the guys.

- She's typing away.
- What is she doing?

She's
in‐charge of this studio.

What she does

is make sure that the other
monitors are doing the job,

but also she pays attention
to all the models.

Like in this case,

we're working with eleven
models we have right now.

She just makes sure that the
eleven models are in the room

and doing what
they are supposed to.

They answer back to the clients,

and the monitor
is also helping the girl.

This is like how one
of the rooms looks.

Sometimes we get
the models involved

in decoration process.

When there is a room,
we specifically know

which model we're
going to use it for,

we'll get her involved
and get her ideas.

Johana is the one
in charge of this department.

We call it
the audit department.

Basically, she's auditing
what's going on

in general and the big picture
of the whole company.

She has a team with her
and she has all the screens,

so they're always checking in
on each different location,

making sure
that things are in order,

people are doing what they're
supposed to be doing there.

We have seven in Cali,

we have Armenia,
which is another city,

and the way to Medellín.

This is Medellín, Belén,

one of the three studios
we have in Medellín.

Cartagena is where
we'll do the event.

Here we process
all the money we receive.

They are in charge
of transferring the money

from the States
to our local banks.

And then also they do
the payroll from here.

Every week, they pay the models,
they pay the employees,

the rent, pay whatever
bills we have.

They handle it from here.

We work
with different networks

just like the finance.

Well, you know, don't keep
your eggs in one basket.

We don't want to rely
on only one company.

That's why we put our models
on different networks.

All my
employees can have lunch

and breakfast for free.

In in Cali, we have about
a hundred and ten employees.

We make a hundred and
ten plates every day.

It's so many people,
they take turns.

Twelve o'clock, construction‐‐

‐Construction workers.
‐Construction workers.

Then we get management workers.

And at two o'clock, the models.
We have to break it down.

It's fair to say

you two are pretty well
liked around here.

This is the
last studio we're building.

This is the project we'd have
with our famous model

here in Colombia.

The idea is to build in here
twenty rooms, twenty‐‐

‐Twenty.
‐Twenty‐one rooms.

‐Yeah, twenty.
‐Twenty‐one.

‐Twenty rooms, yes.
‐Twenty rooms. Yeah.

Where we are going
to have like top models.

The studio
was built for Jasmin.

Exclusive, second floor.

When we built it, we built it
according to what Jasmin wanted.

The requirements on the rooms,
the lining, all that.

But then we took the first floor

and it's what we do
in the virtual reality

with a new company.

VR, it's like cutting‐edge,
a really high‐quality VR.

So, the setup is really special.

The company
has four rooms total.

In the ward,
there's one that's Romania,

and these three rooms.

We've been doing it
for two months.

Two to three months now, yes.

What is this
looking like to her customers?

- If you get the glasses, it's 3D.
- Yeah, it's 3D.

With the glasses, it's 3D.

You could do
it right from your phone?

Yes.

We are helping a
lot of people here in Colombia.

What I can say is pretty
much everybody's happy.

We have about, with
models and employees,

like 900 people working for us.

Since the beginning
we're taking this

very professionally,
and very serious.

Even though it's
the adult industry,

still it's a business, you got
to treat it as a business.

You got to be professional,
and take care of your employees.

And at the end,
everything worked out.

Do you want me to ride?

Adult film star
Ariana Marie

has starred in erotic
films like Let It Ride,

but she got her
start as a camgirl

and then moved on
to the corporate world

of studio‐made porn movies.

I started
doing webcamming

before I got into porn,

so I know how to talk
to the camera

and know how they want
to feel on the other side.

Now a known figure
in the porn industry,

she often goes live
on the site MyFreeCams.

You have fans
right then and there.

They're seeing it. They love
that personal connection

that they get with you
because it's live.

She's turned her
Las Vegas home into a cam‐house

rigged with twenty‐two webcams.

The kitchen,
the living room, the shower,

few places off‐limits,

opening their doors as well
to other camgirls in Vegas

to expand her business.

The whole idea of what we do
at the house is natural.

I mean she's constantly
on dating sites

looking for guys and girls
to come over and‐‐

‐And fuck.
‐and hook up.

And I have the same freedom too.

This will be my first ever,
a scene with a plotline.

So, will I have to come up
with things to say that‐‐

It's not really a plot.
That's the thing, it's not.

It's exactly what it is.

There's a guy
she wants to fuck‐‐

‐Just have thoughts like‐‐
‐You join and that's it.

‐Okay.
‐Completely natural.

I'll be talking to you
and all, but it's very natural.

This is the way
we want it to happen, right?

We're going to have a camera
guy around all the time,

which is probably me
most of the time, or her.

And if I see a chick
that I want to have sex with,

I'm going to call her
or text her and say,

"Hey, I think I'm going to come
home and fuck this chick.

Will you grab the camera?"

We always had a vision
of having a big house

where we can accomplish
all those things.

We could wake up every morning,
have our breakfast together,

and then go to work,

have models coming in
that would cam with her.

And she was so good.

If we brought in
brand‐new models,

that they were going to be a
part of the agency or something,

she could train them.

What do
you call this place?

This is ClubCamHouse.

I'd say that anybody
that knows me at all

knows that I care
a lot about friending.

That's why we picked
the name Club Cam House

because we felt like ultimately
that could be one site

where you can go
to the LA house,

the Vegas house,
the Miami house.

There's people in those places

ready to run the houses

and help us with
what we're doing.

This is a closet meeting.

My grandmother was the
main investor for the company

to help get it started.

And she asked me

if I had a moral issue
with what I was doing.

And I said, "You know what,
if these girls are out there,

and they're trying
to get into the industry,

and they're going to do it,

I hope they find me first.

And that's my whole goal."

And she said,

"Okay, I'll give you the money
you need to start the company."

I'm like super, super,
super excited to fuck him.

You just fucked him on the set.

‐I know but‐‐
‐This is different.

What about the new girl?

I think she's super cute
and she has a really nice butt.

Yeah. Well, that's going
to be pretty hot to film.

It's going to be live.

I'm going to stream it
on your cam.

Okay.

So, am I going to be looking at
the camera, like the cam cam?

The laptop, the camera
on there, look at that.

‐Okay. Because‐‐
‐But remember,

when you're looking in the
camera and you're saying,

"You like that,"

the fans are going
to think that‐‐

That I'm talking to them.

‐But I'm talking‐‐
‐And you can't‐‐ I mean‐‐

‐I'm talking to both of them.
‐You're talking to both of us.

Yeah. Okay. All right.

But be dirty.

‐You want me to be a slut.
‐I want you to tease me,

‐which would be like‐‐
‐Can I wear my collar? No?

‐Yes. I'll put it on you.
‐My black one.

I'll put it on you right before
you walk out to do your scene.

‐Okay.
‐Make of eye contact with me.

‐I'm going to be the camera.
‐Okay.

‐You promise?
‐Yeah.

Okay.

‐Promise.
‐All right.

‐I love you.
‐I love you.

But tomorrow you got to film me.

I know. Who are you fucking?

I don't know.
I'm fucking somebody.

You're fucking someone.

‐I love you.
‐I love you.

‐Okay?
‐Yeah.

‐Please.
‐You lead the way.

Good?

This is actually
my first set of three.

This is my collar and
it broke during my scene.

Does daddy want to fuck me?

Whenever I do scenes
or anything like that,

or if I go have playdates,
I wear my collar

and that's like he owns me,

but he's letting me
go have fun too, so.

Then that's hot.

I was an agent.

I was actually married,
but going through a separation.

And she was one
of our top models.

He took me to a Vegas
party like right away.

Two thousand people.

You mean
like a swingers party?

Swingers party, yeah.

I went thinking I was going
to see people having sex,

orgies and everything and
it was the complete opposite.

Everybody was having
a good time,

nobody was judging anybody.

This comes with a lot of rules

and it's like he's like guiding
me throughout life in a way.

‐You better hold that up.
‐I better hold that up.

‐It's Hyundai right there.
‐Hyundai!

We are getting married
September 5th.

‐Yeah.
‐So, next month.

So, my mom was, like,

really put off because normally
when they come into town,

we would want them
to stay with us.

Well, we moved into this house
and we got the cameras going

and everything now and
I was telling her about it.

She wasn't really getting

too much information
of what we're doing.

She knows what I do,
but she doesn't want, like,

to know the details of it.

And I was, like, "We're going
to put you in a hotel."

And she's like,
"Why am I staying in a hotel?"

I'm, like, "Because we have
cameras in our house,

and it's for work purposes

and all that and I don't want
you guys to be on camera."

They can come over and stuff
I don't mind having them over.

But like just for the
cameras and everything,

I don't want them being on it.

Well, it would be interesting
when your parents see this.

Yeah. I mean,
it takes a strong bond

to have sex with other people

and not get emotional
negatively about it.

The way that they are together
not even just like sexually,

but when they talk to each other
and the they treat each other,

it's kind of inspiring.

It makes you want to have
a relationship almost.

Who are the
primary people aimed
by these broadcasters?

Do you think it's millennials?
Or is it across the board?

It's a blend.

It's a blend of millennials

who love the interaction
from social

and it's old‐school consumers

that find a model online
that they love and they just‐‐

They love that model.

You know, I think
the driver is...

the consumer is part of their
life now because of technology.

They see when they wake up,
to take a shower

they see, "Hey,
I'm about to have breakfast,"

"I'm going to go to the mall,"
"I'm going to go do my nails."

So, now because of technology,

they're embedded
in their day‐to‐day,

hour‐to‐hour movement.

I think that's what these
consumers fall in love with

because they understand and have
relationships with these models.

I do have a connection

with quite a few
of my customers.

We also have, like, sort
of an outside relationship.

And what I mean by outside,

I mean not that I meet up
with them or nothing like that,

but as far as like doing
the whole Snapchat things,

sometimes, you know,
we text back and forth

even when I'm not camming.

So, I try to keep
that connection there.

I'm pretty sure I've grown
on them, they're grown on me,

so I pretty much treat them
like a good friend of mine.

It doesn't have to necessarily
every time be about sex

and watching them jerk his
dick and blah, blah, blah.

I mean, spread it open but...

I have met other cam models

that are married to the members
that were in the room for years.

I've... Yeah, so...

I mean, if you're spending
every day talking to someone,

I talk to them more than I talk
to my own friends and family

because I spend minimum
two hours every day on cam.

I've cam up to fourteen
hours in one day.

Sometimes there's competitions

worth thousand dollars
on the line,

five hundred‐dollar bonuses

just for the fact that you
made more tokens or money

than everybody else that day.

So, who doesn't
want an extra grand?

I came eight times that day,

but I also get creative with
my show where I do workouts,

I do stripper pole shows,
I change outfits.

I'm huge on costumes.

Going outside is a big thing too

so long as it's
in a private area.

This conference
is about helping models

monetize their business,

promote themselves and get
out there in social media.

I'm just basically here
to get them more famous.

I am the Pimpstress
Mistress Thick.

and I hail from New York

and I'm a professional
and online dominatrix.

I'm coming from a cam world.
I'm a lifestyle cammer.

You may not be familiar
with that term.

Maybe I'll educate you.

Lifestyle cammer is someone
who enjoys camming

regardless whether
they make money or not.

I came into this ten years ago

as someone who
just enjoyed camming,

joined the camming community,

began camming and then learned
how to monetize off of camming.

So, I kind of have a real
well‐rounded perspective.

I love turning men into women,

I love making them my bitches

and sending them out on the
street to make money for me.

Hence the name Pimpstress.

The direction that things
are going in with technology,

people want to be connected even
though they're not connected.

The business realizes that,
and there's a need for it.

You know, we could take adult
all the way out of the equation.

This is the future
of how people consume.

YouTube's already proved
direct‐to‐consumer works.

They create YouTube
stars all the time.

So, adults camming is teaching
us how to make money.

You don't have to live in LA
to get casting gigs anymore.

You don't have to go
to New York to have an agent.

All you have to do is
get online, make a
character and work hard,

whether it's mainstream
or hardcore.

That's where this is going

is people making content that
others just want to consume.

What's important to me
is that I love this community

and I'm so passionate
about doing it.

Anytime I'm a pioneer to make
it better and to make it more...

well, not necessarily
more, inclusive,

but I do think that
the more we advance it,

the more people
are going to recognize it.

And it's just going to become
a part of everyone's life.

You know, it's hard right now.
There's a stigma attached.

I can't tell everyone
I'm a camgirl.

You know, that happens
and it's unfortunate

because it's a perfectly legal
business and I run it as such.

But I think it's wonderful
to see it going in a direction

where I do think
that eventually one day

I can just be open about it.

The pregnancy was actually
planned way ahead of time.

I knew going into camming

that I was going to be
starting a family soon.

And that's one of the things
that made me choose it

because I knew that
pregnancy fetish was a niche.

I didn't realize how
big it was going to be.

I was like, I don't
necessarily have to take

an extended maternity
leave from camming,

I can work all the way
until the baby comes.

I'm going to have to
take some time off

while I recover from the birth.

But after that,
lactation fetish, hello.

BDSM stands for bondage,
discipline, dominance,

submission, sadomasochism.

It's all‐encompassing
thing of majority of kink.

When I started camming,

I had no idea what
any of this stuff meant.

My first day on cam,
I'm just getting people like,

"Hey, BB" and then all these
abbreviations and questions

and I have no idea
what they're asking for.

So, log off, do some research.

There's still a
lot of room for growth.

But adults taught
mainstream once again

how to monetize the internet.

And this is a perfect example.

I learn so much every
time I go to a convention.

I live in the middle of nowhere.

There's nobody around
me but cornfields.

Getting to like get the human
interaction is kind of nice

once in a while.

The first three months
that I started webcamming,

honestly, like every
other day I would,

stop webcamming after putting
in like six, seven hours

and I would come out in tears
because I wasn't making shit.

What it really is is you
just have to be consistent.

You can't expect

to start camming for like
a week or two or a month

and expect to be making
that kind of money

because it's just not realistic.

It took me about three months

until I finally started seeing
more and more money come in

and me making more camming fans.

And it was awesome!

And besides that, you're
working from your house.

I wake up, I get my coffee,

I do TRX, I get in the pool,

I do my makeup and I webcam.

I think obviously being a model,

you have all these
tools that are free,

that it's free advertisement.

Twitter and Instagram and
Snapchat as well, you know.

You really have to learn how
to essentially brand yourself

as a model and use all the tools

that are available to you
to promote your shows.

- You're sending this out?
- Yeah.

I needed to save it
on Snapchat first.

Now that I have my name
and my link on there,

I'm going to throw it
out to Twitter

so people know that I'm live.

It's awesome.-

It's just free promo.

Instagram, Twitter, that works
to promote your stuff.

You have to make sure
that everything

that you do won't affect
your life goal.

I definitely see myself
getting married,

hopefully, like, you know,
in the next five years,

having kids, getting married.

What would be
the ideal time to do camming?

Ideal time to get on cam
would be at noon.

All right, let's do this.

Here we go.

For my cam show, which is
a fifteen‐minute long show,

I set it for thirty‐five
hundred tokens

and the minimum buy‐in to
see a fifteen‐minute show

is fifty tokens.

So, if you don't pay
the fifty tokens,

you are not going
to see the show.

Sometimes people are
trying to bargain with me.

"I won't give you ten,
what about why five?"

It's like it's not a bargain.

You're not going
to negotiate my rates,

like, this is what
you're going to pay for it.

People, are you kidding me?
it's like five cents per token.

It's not even
that much, you know.

And it's annoying.

So, you have to pay.

Only the people that pay
gets to see the show

which is great because
it makes everyone happier,

it makes me happier
that I don't have, like,

over a hundred people that are
seeing my show for free.

That's what I hate
that I feel like, you know,

the damage that has been
made from shooting adults.

We've created these people
that don't believe in paying

for their pornography and
it's hurt the industry so much.

So now, slowly but surely,

it's moved on to camming as well

where they feel like, you know,

"If I wait long enough, she's
going to get naked at one point,

and I'm going to see
everything for free."

And we are starting.

So, if you guys didn't tip,

you're not going to be
able to see my show.

I'm sorry.

It's a fifteen‐minute boob
worship with coconut oil.

Fun, fun, fun.

My God,
it pisses me off so much.

In the five years that I've
been in the adult industry,

I've never been able to put as
much money in my savings account

than I have with being
a camgirl in one year.

But I did it different,
I went from being an adult star

to crossing over
to be a cam model.

And I love it.

So good.

The reason why
we are doing this,

we got to make sure
you appreciate

of how great
is the business we have.

Here in 2016 SW Summit!
Make some noise!

That's right!

I'm Alex. I'm the owner
and event manager

for AW Summit and AW Awards.

I think it's very important
because Romania

has been for many years
and still many years to come

has been the leader in content
for the live cam industries.

Before the AW Summit,
I was touring to other country

to try to develop a project
for the Romanian studios.

I felt the need for such
a gathering, a convention.

The AW Summit
is all serious people

from Las Vegas to Miami
to Colombia and Romania.

In general,
the people, the studios,

this summit in particular,

are some of the most serious
people in this industry.

Coming here I want to meet
new talent, new studio owners.

Constantly getting
the newest best, freshest,

most serious talent on your site

keeps the product new, keeps us
as profitable as we can get,

and it keeps our price down.

AW Summit is not only
the first and the largest summit

dedicated only to cam industry,

it's also a place where you meet
all the people in the industry,

you also do business with them,

but you also get
a personal touch.

Typically when you
do business‐to‐business.

you have an in‐person
relationship,

you know who you're
signing that check off to.

Online, you don't know.

So, it's really important that
we meet our studio owners

and we let them know
that we're real people.

It's really important
that we come here

and we introduce
ourselves to everyone,

and build a friendship
and a business relationship

to continue working together.

For me it's something special...

I want to attend
some interesting seminars,

listen to other models
and even to studio owners

just for self‐improvement,
for self‐development.

Cam work, cam modeling

is in fact the type of work that
gives you a lot of opportunities

in different spheres of life.

From being
financially independent

to explore your own femininity.

These are the times we
can raise it to a higher level,

like, the quality of the
partnerships in the business.

Every time we came
to AW Summit, and we go back,

we feel recharged with ideas,

with business opportunities.

We're happy that we are
part of the industry.

Come on baby!

Make some mother
fucking noise for them!

That's right!

We love you!

AW Summit 2016!

Everybody make some noise, yeah!

Hello, I'm Rebecca and I am a
camgirl for five years already.

I am a veteran.

I wanted to have a job.

I left my hometown

I choose this because
I wanted to make a lot of money

because in my country,
salaries are very small.

Everyone who is independent
feels powerful.

I work eight hours a night
starting at 11:00 p. m.

I finish usually
at 7:00 or 8:00 a. m.

I was thinking to change
on the morning shift

to have more time for my life

and especially
to sleep on nights

because it's like a luxury
for me to sleep all nights.

There is nothing that can
surprise me anymore.

It's great that I talk
with a lot of people

and I find out a lot
of new stories of their lives.

It's really great. I love that.

Also, I like the events.

I like to have photo shootings,
I like to film.

It's like being an actress,
but another industry.

Yes, I love acting,

and I hear from people

that I have a talent as well.

Yeah, it's really nice.

I have to act only when
they ask for a role‐play.

"Be my nurse, be my secretary,
be my teacher."

It's the only moment when I act.

Usually I am just being
myself on cam.

If I did it the way I should
actually do it every morning

and not sleep in.

I would wake up at 8:00
and start my coffee

and do a little working out,

and then I eat breakfast
and get my makeup on.

Then I pick out my outfit
and get my whole cam area ready

and do my shooting.

Well, every day is different.

I take it on as I wake up

and I see how I feel
for that day.

Some days, I do masturbate
at least like six times,

but some days,
I only do it like twice.

So, it just depends.

I would say my niche is
just being the girl next door.

I like to have a variety.

So, I do dress up a little
more dominatrix sometimes

and I do still do
fetishes like that.

But I'm more sub.

So I really like doing like
teases and stuff like that.

Guys may want to think that
I'm like girlfriend material,

but they're aware
that I have a boyfriend.

So that line has been drawn.

Some people still like
to fantasize but they're aware.

I have cam in the kitchen,
like, doing cooking

or my lunch breaks and give them
a good little angle behind me.

My God. Yes.

Now you can interact
and play with my vagina.

And I also do like shower shows.

I really like doing oil shows
first before I get clean.

Yes, I have the most followers
on Chaturbate currently.

I have over five hundred
thousand followers.

Crazy to think that that
could fill football stadiums.

But when I'm behind the
webcam and in my bedroom,

I'm completely comfortable and
don't think about that at all.

If you go on Chaturbate
or any other cam site

and you talk to the girls
that are on there,

you'll see that most
of them are stable,

most of them are intelligent,

most of them are pretty
well business‐minded,

good at marketing,
stuff like that.

They're interesting people
and most of them have goals

and they're using it
as a stepping stone

instead of viewing it
as a career.

People will come in and they'll
be like, "Come on guys, tip."

And I'm like,
"But you're not tipping."

That's like going to lunch

and asking the guy
behind you to pay.

That just doesn't work.

I get on people.

I am very like, "This is
how I want to be treated

and you're going
to adhere to that

or not be privileged enough
to see me, I'll ban you."

I've never heard that
camgirls are forced to do it

or have a gun to their head.

Everybody I've ever seen

or talked to from
a different country

loves it because it's
so easy to make money.

A lot of times the exchange rate
is so much better for them.

My niche for camming
is definitely hardcore shows

and I use unusual toys.

I've used a tentacle
that lays eggs into me.

They can be gelatin
or just wooden eggs

and they look like real ones.

I use all kinds of really huge,
unusual things you don't see.

I've been doing this so long,

that normal stuff
are really boring to me.

Just always keep
people on their toes.

I also do moo cow Mondays
where I dress as a cow

and I moo while I come.

That's really
a big fetish online.

And I sometimes wear tail plugs.

It's a butt plug
with a tail attached

and I have a whole bunch
of things like that that I do.

The only thing better than
having a five hundred token drop

is having an orgasm
while you're doing it.

My mother was a stripper.

She's completely positive
about sex work.

For me, my family doesn't
really care what I do

with that sort of thing.

I've never been raised
in a highly religious household,

so it's never something
I've been ashamed of

or felt weird
about talking about.

Yeah, the mystery remains,

because you're not
fucking each other.

No disappointment.

I like to do lots and
lots of girl‐girl shows.

If I don't like the way
I'm being talked to,

I will ban a person
from the room,

but not before flipping them off

and telling them
to go fuck themselves.

Thank you.

I'll answer any question
anyone has about camming

but I will not answer
how much money I make

because I think that's
super disrespectful.

I wouldn't ask you how
much money do you make,

like, what's your income.

All my friends know that I cam.

I'm very transparent
about it now.

Initially I was not
transparent about camming.

I told people mostly that
I was a graphic designer

because technically
I kind of do that shit.

A lot of my family, as far
as like the younger ones,

like my cousins that are of age,

they know that I cam.

They have never seen
me cam, of course.

Thank you, love.

We had pasta yesterday
but I had like two bites

because I ate a lot before
and I still think about it.

I always wanted to ride
on the back of a motorcycle

like Apollonia and Prince
in Purple Rain.

They are hot.

That's another
term that seems to be popular

in the cam world,
the girlfriend experience.

‐Yeah.
‐What does that mean?

Girlfriend experience
is just the little things

like pillow talk,

cooking and telling
each other about their day,

telling each other
that you're proud of them

for their little accomplishments
in life, you know.

Outside of camming,
I don't do too much.

Probably do the regular stuff,
go out to dinner, watch movies,

binge on shows for
hours, smoke weed.

Party, you know, the usual.

People don't find camming
from Craigslist

or anything like that.

Camming is something that people
do a lot of research on

and then ends up loving it.

I've heard very few stories
about camming gone wrong.

I'm here in Cartagena.
I'm attending the LALEXPO.

Our focus here is meeting the
largest Latin‐American studios

and pools of models.

We want to get new studios,
new models using our site.

And we also want to hear from
the models who do use our site

for any issues they're having,
any improvements we can make.

We like to hear
first‐hand from them

ways that we can improve
what we do best.

Less than seven.

Put your hands up
in the air like this.

I need you to follow my hands.

When I do this‐‐

LiveJasmin! LiveJasmin!

Take it easy. Take it easy.

Not that one.
It's a little bit too big.

I think we could do a cum show.

I don't even know
what to think about that.

I don't even know
where to begin.

I'm the most comfortable
when I have thousands of people

watching me on camera.

I'm definitely
extremely introverted,

but I become
a lot more extroverted

in a sexual atmosphere.

That's where I'm comfortable
and that's where I'm fine.

No, they are not natural.

Camming was the thing

that has taken so much
social anxiety out of me.

It's made me confident.

When you have thousands
of people watching you

and you're naked, it's just...

It feels great to you,
you feel worshiped.

It's really nice.

I think I would like
to be called a performer.

Me and a ton of other cam models

put on a show for everybody
that makes them stay.

You're like the cutest person
to fuck and kiss. Holy shit.

Now you do stripteases,
you do cum shows,

sometimes you just dance
around naked, you're performing.

It's like your own TV show.

Damn!

There's a lot of creativity
that comes into it.

No one's going to watch
a same TV show over and over.

So, every time they jump online,

they need to come up
with something new.

I don't think broadcasters get
enough credit for how creative

and how entrepreneurial
they are.

It's about friendship.

And when you're chatting
with girls in cam,

it's like you have a
professional mentor in some way

to help you with all that
gray shade in your life.

You can talk about anything,
work, life, children.

Anything about the person
right in front of you.

We miss you so much!

I miss you so much too.

Absolutely, I would tell Avery,

"I'm losing my sexual
attraction with my wife,

you know, and...

you're the reason why I'm here."

AVN years ago
was really about pay sites

and paid content and recorded
content in studios.

That's changed.

Models now could interact
with their fans in real time

at a live cam site.

That's what fans want,
that's where fans are going.

And we see it.

We see that most fans now

come to Tori's shows online,

now they have a chance to talk
to with her, to chat with her,

to find out what's
going on in her life.

As a camgirl, selling
the girlfriend experience

is really what it's been
about since the beginning.

And having a live way
to interact with people

has taken it
to a whole new level

in a way that I don't
see us ever going back.

This is Karen's first expo.

So how do you like it?
What's your favorite thing?

I freaking love it.

My favorite thing is
basically just being here

and just experiencing
every single second of it.

It's like getting
into you camming.

and then there is like seventeen
guys watching you right there,

I feel like, "I forgot there
are real people around me."

You're just like, "Okay, I guess
I'm doing something right."

Well, this is one
of our biggest cam‐studios.

So Jaden and his boys
are always kind of like a...

like a wolfpack together.

Their studio
is called Voyeurboys,

and their thing is they have
like live cams in their house,

so twenty‐four hour access
to voyeurism to watch

everything that's going on in
the house with all the models.

You can watch them lift weights,
in the kitchen cooking

or hanging out watching TV.

All that stuff, in addition
to their cam shows

that they're doing on a regular
basis on Chaturbate.

First time in AVN, what's
been your most favorite part?

‐Meeting you, of course.
‐Yay.

AVN would
definitely be the place

that fans could meet me
like face to face for sure.

And that's the one that I would
say every year I try to do.

And for me the best
part of what I do

is obviously like
connecting with people.

I do have a friend
who is in the business.

Well, I met her online

and I came here to say hi,
to give her support, what not.

That's my mean reason
for coming up.

Basically every day after work,

I log on and see who's
available to talk to.

The models as well as some
of the other fans in the rooms

have become friends.

There's a couple fans
that show up.

I know them from AVN
from being in the chat rooms

and we go hang out
after the exposition

and we have dinner

and talk about some
of our friends and girls.

A lot of
times you'll see

the broadcasters
all get together

and they share money‐making tips

and they're sharing their
knowledge amongst each other.

So, there's friendship
between the broadcasters

and then there's also
an honest friendship

between people in the chat
room and the broadcaster.

With a cam, it's like
you can be yourself

without thinking about
the risk of being rejected

because when you
get rejected in cam,

all you got to do
is turn it off.

So, it's just not a lot of risk.

Being a site owner,
I get to have insight

into these relationships that
are occurring with other people.

Watching the depth of them,

watching how they're
watching each other sleep,

paying for things

that you would never think
somebody would pay for.

I'm about to meet Avery
right now at AVN.

I'm so nervous right now.

She doesn't know I'm here.
It's a surprise.

I hope she likes me.

Truly the relationship,

if a model ceases
to be on our site,

we get complaints,
we get sadness, we get crying,

we get everything
you can imagine,

which speaks to the realness
of an online relationship.

Hi!

‐How are you?
‐Good, how are you?

Wow!

You look absolutely gorgeous.

We want to let everyone
know that it's real. It's true.

Yeah, real life, real time,
real sex. It's awesome.

- You are real couple.
- Yes.

- Yeah.
- We really love each other.

Porn fans are
looking to get off,

jerk‐off, go about their day.

Cam guys are looking for
like an online relationship.

‐I've been looking forward
for this moment.
‐Yes!

Totally. How have you been?
When did you get here?

‐I know.
‐No, when did you get here?

‐Just like an hour ago.
‐Okay.

I was actually so
nervous meeting you.

I know of three marriages
that came off of Chaturbate.

It's cute stories
like that that we love.

You know, things
like that do happen.

The cam companies are
the main sponsors of the event.

They're doing that because
that's where the fans are,
that's where the money is.

This show is about cam.

It's about live cams.

It's about live adult content.

This is the future
and the future is now.

Camming means
to be empowered.

It means to be in control.

It means to be
somewhat of a therapist.

It means to be a customer
service superstar.

It used to blow my mind

that somebody would
get on cam with her

for four hours to talk with her.

Used to blow my mind.

I think society
has gone to a place

where we all feel
very disconnected...

Lonely.

And I think that's a big reason

why the webcam world
is getting bigger and bigger.

And I think you're going to
see more of that happening.

I have no idea
where the cam business

is going to take us.

I think it'll be a lot
different than people expect

and a lot bigger part of life
than people expect as well.

They are not going
there to see naked women.

That's the most fake thing
that people believe

outside the industry.

Members are entering a live
chat site to see naked women.

No. There are tons
of tubes for that.

They go there because
they need joy in their life.

They need somebody that
will bring them happiness.

And this is a live cam model.
They deliver happiness.

And they need all our respect
and admiration for that.

You know, people have
this misconception

that cam is all about sex.

And it is most of the time.

But there's also, you know,
your core group of people

that you have that you webcam
every single day with

and you've become friends
with these people

and you talk to them about
what's going on in the world.

I always teach
the girls to be themselves,

to be original.

Because looking at any camsite,

most of models
are trying to copy

other models that they
think they are better.

Maybe they are.

But in most cases,
maybe they are not
better than them.

But when you are trying
to replicate something

to fake something,

it could not be the best option.

Real girls wear real emotion.

And I think live chat
in general is about that.

Just be yourself.

It's very a common advice,
but it really works.

If you're an interesting person,
you will grow in popularity.

Learning,
promoting myself,

parties with my girls

and seeing all the people
in this industry

is really amazing, interesting.

Beautiful.

Very amazing how you
can become a star in like hours.

I like seeing them enjoying
and seeing themselves as stars.

So, I think that's the best.

For me, this is what it means.

This site
is called Chat or Bathe.

So, you have the option
to chat or bathe.

And I know most people
will have the idea,

they're horny,
they want to go there.

But then after they've
enjoyed themselves,

they want to maybe stick
around and be entertained.

Even the fact that we can
cook freaks people out.

‐Yeah.
‐"What, they cook'"

‐"My God, you're a human being."
‐Yeah.

- Holy shit.
- "She's walking her dog."

‐Yeah. Actually that's true.
‐It's little things like that.

And so they feel
that connection.

It's been two
and a half years and
my family doesn't know.

And that's something that
I struggle with every day.

This is where my greatest
success comes from.

And when I have
financial achievements

or just any kind
of business achievement,

the first thing you want
to do is tell mom and dad

because that's incredible.

It's hard. And that's...

a decision that I think
I'm going to have to tell them.

And I know that.

It's something that's inevitable

and I'm honestly sad
it hasn't happened yet.

But it's going to have to.
