You need to have boundaries, as customers will ask you to do all kinds of things. You can say "no" to whatever you want, but you should decide ahead of time what you feel okay doing and what you don't feel okay doing. For instance, you may be willing to do partial nudity but not full nudity. You may be willing to perform certain sexual acts but not others, or you may decide you don't want to do any kind of sexual act at all. There's a niche out there for every kind of channel, but in general, you tend to get more money if you are willing to do more. If you just log on for an hour and go offline, you're less likely to draw people in. Traffic can increase at odd times, so you should commit to several hours in hopes of hitting the site when traffic is higher. After working a while, you will likely be able to gauge better when traffic is going to be higher. Looks are far less important than your personality. No matter what you look like, someone out there will find you attractive. However, most successful webcammers gain followers by being themselves and engaging customers in conversations. You can have a "hook," like putting on makeup, reading books, or even eating, but you can also just sit and chat with people. Think of the people on the other end as your friends and just chat to the camera like you're chatting to them. Use your customers' responses to keep the conversation going! When they respond to what you're saying by text, read it out loud and respond on camera. While you're online, your customers may make requests of you. Some of these may be sexual, though not all of them will be. For instance, some people may want you to do something as simple as sing a song. Depending on the website, customers may pay more to go to a private chat. You still have control over what you do, though! You don't have to (or probably even want to, for safety's sake) give out your number or home address. However, you will likely develop regular customers who visit often. While webcamming is sexual, it's also just about hanging out with a group of people for several hours. Talk to them and respond to their questions as much as you're able. It takes time to build up followers, and you're going to have days when you don't make anything at all. However, if you're consistently having those days, you may want to rethink how you're running your channel.

Pour the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and the salt. Stir them together, then add in the chocolate chips. Toss everything together gently. This recipe requires a 12 to 24-hour chilling period. Plan ahead! Pour both the white and the brown sugars into another large mixing bow. Pour in the canola oil and the water. Whisk them together for about 2 minutes. You can speed up the process by using a handheld beater, a stand mixer, or a food processor fitted with whisks. If you don't have canola oil, you can use another type of oil with a neutral flavor to it, such as grapeseed. If the brown sugar has clumps in it, be sure to break them up first before adding it to the bowl. If you can't find a vegan-friendly white sugar, use 1 cup (200 grams) of brown sugar instead of a combination of white and brown sugar. Keep stirring until the color and texture are consistent. If you don't have liquid food coloring, try 3 drops of gel food coloring instead.If you want the cookies to have a minty flavor, use 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract instead of the vanilla. You can use more food coloring if the color is not strong enough for you. You can do this with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, as needed, and stop when there is no flour left. Do not over-mix the batter. Cover the bowl with a sheet of plastic wrap, then stick it in the fridge. Leave it there for 12 to 24 hours. This is very important; if you skip this step, the cookies will spread out too much while baking. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Do this when the dough is done chilling. Use a small ice cream scoop or a cookie scoop to form the dough into balls. Gently flatten each ball to a 2-inch (508-centimeter) wide disk. Consider freezing the cookies for 10 minutes. This will help them keep their shape. They are ready when the edges turn golden. If your oven is not big enough to fit the baking sheets, you will need to put them on separate racks. If you end up doing this, be sure to switch the baking sheets around halfway through baking. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes first before transferring them to a wire cooling rack. Let them finish cooling (about 10 minutes) before serving them.
