The plus-size modeling industry is the fastest-growing sector of the Web Camming modeling industry. Never before has there been such acceptance, support, and demand for fuller figures. So if you’re more voluptuous than a typical fashion model and know how to work your curves, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t follow your dream of becoming a plus-size model.
1. “Gaining”
Simply put, “gaining” is an online activity where “feeders” or “fat cherishing” pay to watch a “gainer” eat food, and in the process, gain more weight. In each session, a “gainer” will eat a large amount of food in front of a webcam while feeders are watching. And by “large meal”, it means piles of food that contain thousands of calories.
Donna Simpson, who was one of the most popular gainers in 2008, once ate a 30-000-calorie Christmas meal which contains two 25 lb of turkeys among other meals in two hours. Sometimes, feeders will send food to their favorite gainer to watch them eat it online. But most of the time, gainers receive money after their eating sessions.
Where to start?
There are lots of websites that offer a platform where feeders and gainers can meet and have sessions. To start, sites like Fantasy Feeder and Grommr are known best for free signup offers. Aspiring gainers can use these sites to gain followings. When the gainer has enough followers, creating a website is necessary to grow earnings.
What are the things you need?
You must be cool with the thought of eating in front of hundreds or thousands of viewers online. Depending on the site, some feeders would want nudity as well, but it is not usually required. A decent camera and microphone are needed in this gig.
Income potential:
Earnings will depend on different factors such as the number of followers and eating sessions per week. Tammy Jung, who has been a gainer for years has been earning close to $3,100 a month. She is also weighing 420 pounds.

Web Camming Modeling is a gig where the model performs acts live in a webcam broadcast. Most of the acts are sexual in nature and are done in exchange for money or goods. Some platforms use a similar payment system like YouTube in which viewing the Livestream is free, but viewers can tip the model voluntarily. The other payment system is via private chat rooms, in which the viewer will need to pay in order to get access.

Webcam modeling jobs can be found through adult job boards. Sites like Live Jasmin and MyFreeCams offers a search tool where users can sort job listings based on their area. Create a profile and send a request to a job listing and wait to see if you’ve been chosen as a candidate. Webcamming is usually a remote job where you can start immediately.

Each candidate must be at a legal adult to participate in this gig. Experience is not required for most platforms.

This is for people who consider working in an adult entertainment industry but don’t want to do live streams.
Where to start?
There are sites like Clips4Sale, ExtraLunchMoney, and ManyVids which offer a platform for sellers to advertise their products online.
