Does your landlord know you cam?

[annie]

Hello all! Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I couldn't seem to find a similar topic by searching.

I'm about to move into a new place in a couple months. This will be my first time moving without a "traditional" job, and I'm just wondering how you address it, I guess, when potential landlords ask about your income? It's not exactly like I can share pay stubs from a steady-paying job...

Do I say something like "I'm a freelancer" (technically true, because I do other freelance pursuits aside from camming)? I don't make as much money from them yet, though. Do I tell the landlord I'm essentially going to be using the property as my home and my studio? Do I decline to comment, or will that just make me look like a drug dealer??

Any other tips about renting when you make a living by camming would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

You can make your own invoices, paystubs even 1099 there are plenty of website software that can do it.

You can also get a lawyer to make an affidavit that you are self-employed.

Your landlord only needs to know they will get the rent paid on time, even paid early. So save 3 months worth of rent for a new place.

IT just takes planning your finances, and sometimes a decent credit score

I just say self-employed and provide 6 months bank statements. Unless you have a noisy business or business with lots of traffic to your home, what you do in the privacy in your own home is your business.

If people ask exactly what I do, I say website content creator which is 100% true.

Other ideas: if you do gaming while camming, say professional gamer.

If you sell your clips or pics, say you do e-commerce or digital sales.

If you sell panties or cookies, say you sell lingerie or home made cookies online. So what if you market your business on a camsite?!

If you own your own website, say you're a webmaster or blogger.

If you spend a lot of time marketing yourself on social media or managing your profiles, say you're a social media manager.

Be creative and vague and technically honest. As a business person, you have the right to keep trade secrets. You have the right to keep your clients and suppliers private. If people pry too much or want to know exactly which websites you create, tell them you don't want anyone stealing your ideas or customers and you'd rather keep it private.
