Safety & Anonymity: How to Protect Your Identity
Safety Tools We Recommend
- Geo-blocking to hide your stream in specific countries/regions.
- Artist name (don’t use your real name); unique email.
- Watermarks on media; avoid showing identifiable items.
- Face options: full face, partial framing, mask, or fully faceless niches.
Boundaries That Keep You Safe
- Write a Do/Don’t list and stick to it.
- Use blocked words and room rules for chat.
- Separate work socials from personal accounts.
- If something feels off, end the session and tell support.

Equipment Setup: From Budget to Pro
You can start with what you have, then upgrade as you grow. Here’s a simple path:
- Start: Laptop or Phone, quiet room, good lighting, reliable internet.
- Level up: 1080p or 4k HD webcam, microphone, softbox or ringlight.
- Pro touches: Background lighting (LED strips), tidy backdrop, PC desktop setup.
Internet: aim for wired Ethernet or sit close to the router. Test upload speed before you go live.
Profile & Content That Converts
- Name & niche: pick a memorable stage name and 1–2 themes (e.g., cosy girlfriend, gamer, fitness).
- Bio hook: 1–2 lines that set expectations and invite chat (e.g., “UK uni girl, cosy nights & cheeky banter”).
- Photos: 4–6 clean, well-lit shots that match your theme; add a smiling face or a consistent faceless style.
- Schedule: choose 3–5 regular time slots per week and stick to them.
- Retention: welcome message, tip goals, and simple games (polls, wheel, loyalty rewards).
Your First-Week Plan (Step-by-Step)
- Day 1: Apply, complete ID checks, choose stage name, draft bio.
- Day 2: Set up lighting/camera, test bitrate, create 4–6 profile photos.
- Day 3: Go live for 60–90 minutes at a low-pressure time; practise intros and chat prompts.
- Day 4: Review ratings, refine bio, add a simple tip menu and a goal.
- Day 5: Second stream; try a theme (cosy, gamer, fitness). Note what gets the most engagement.
- Day 6–7: Two more streams at your chosen schedule. Keep notes. Adjust lighting, camera angle, and pricing tiers.
