In the ever-crowded world of cam models, standing out from the crowd is more difficult than ever. As a result, many cammers try to develop unique twists to their personas, in order to grab people’s attention and get them to watch (and pay for) their performances.

Chaturbate camgirl Kandie Monaee has one such hook, but it’s anything but a gimmick. Instead, “I stay authentic and true to self,” she told YNOT. “People enjoy my personality, so it makes their experience in my cam room fun and addictive.”

Monaee started camming when she turned 18, when she made her first foray in the working world.

“I found cam while looking online for jobs that I could do from home,” she explained. “It’s the first job that I’ve ever had, so I literally watched for days until I decided that it was something I could be good at.”

She has proven to be good at it, indeed, quickly becoming an in-demand, financially successful camgirl –success that has caught her by surprise.

“I never expected to be a part of a real cam community, so going to events and expos definitely remind me of how far I’ve come,” Monaee said. Despite earning a living from camming, Monaee said “I think the biggest thing for me is actually making friends. I never expected to connect with other cam models on the level that I have.”

The secret to this camgirl’s success? Kandie Monaee attributes it to staying focused on her goals, no matter what happens.

“Success could happen overnight or it could take weeks/months,” Monaee said. “It comes down to staying focused and motivated. Don’t get discouraged or pay too much attention to others.”

As many in the cam space have observed, the onset of COVID-19 hasn’t hurt Monaee’s business. In fact, “for me it has been great,” she said, adding that “the shutdown has caused a lot of people to stay home and lots of people are now working from home, so I’ve been able to meet goals a lot faster than before.”

Her success hasn’t come without a cost, however.

“I love cam but as most may know, not everyone in your life will be so accepting,” Monaee said. “I’ve had to cut a lot of people off — including my own family – for not respecting the work I do.”

As for 2021 and beyond? “I have so many plans for my future!” Monaee enthused. “Number One is to follow my dreams and have some kind of career in law that allows me to help those who really can’t afford to help themselves.”

So, what advice does this Chaturbate star have for aspiring camgirls?

“I definitely would tell them to take it slow,” Monaee replied. “Do as much research as possible before jumping into anything. If they decide it’s something they can do and accept for themselves then go for it! It’s the best choice I’ve made.”
