💻 Step 2: Set Up Your Equipment

You don’t need the most expensive gear, but quality matters.
Here’s your basic setup:

• Webcam: Logitech C920 or better

• Lighting: Ring light or softbox lights

• Computer: Decent laptop or desktop (i5 CPU minimum)

• Internet: High-speed (upload speeds of 5 Mbps+)

Optional Extras:

• External microphone for clearer sound

• Fun backgrounds or room decorations

✨ Step 3: Create Your Look and Brand

Ask yourself:

• What vibe do you want to give off? (Cute, edgy, classy, playful?)

• How will you decorate your cam space?

• Do you want to use a stage name for privacy?

Branding is key to standing out and building loyal fans!

💬 Step 4: Plan Your Shows and Goals

Before you hit "Go Live," think about:

• Show themes (dance party, cosplay, casual chat)

• Tip menus (clear rewards for different tip levels)

• Daily/weekly goals (like "500 tokens = special show")

Structure = more tips!

🎥 Step 5: Start Streaming!

• Smile, relax, and have fun!

• Engage your viewers — ask questions, say hello to new names, thank tippers by name.

• Don’t get discouraged if it’s slow at first. Success builds over time!

Remember: Every cam star started with zero viewers on Day 1.

• Stay consistent: stream at the same times weekly if you can

• Promote your shows on social media (like Twitter)

• Protect your privacy (use a VPN, create model-only accounts)
