Ema would quit each of the jobs because the pay was so low—she’d work eight hours a day and earn only 200 Euros in a month.
She remembers how she would always see ads for webcam studios when she was online.
“And I was barely making ends meet with the money I was receiving from home. My family was sending me 50 dollars a month. So one day I decided to go for an interview to see what is it about,” Karter says. “I was 20 years old; it was November 2017. From that moment, I chose to be a webcam model.”
She made $270 on her first night on cam.
“And in that second I felt that was the best choice and if I started something on that field. I wanted to become an actual name, not to be just a girl who was going to do it for a period of time,” Karter recalls. “I worked at the studio for four months. I worked on all of the platforms.
“After I gave up on the studio, I bought the needed equipment and I started alone from home.”
Karter tried a lot of sites, but her favorite was Chaturbate, where she remains active to the present day. But she went from camming for 10 hours a day to three hours a week, cultivating an international fanbase along the way.
And now Karter is invited by Chaturbate to all of the events where the models go live, such as the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, where she participated in a workshop with COO Shirley Lara about how to be a successful model on the site.
“I will never give up video-chat,” says Karter, who won five industry awards in the past year. She received a nomination as a creator for the 2023 Fan-Voted AVN Awards.
“When I saw I was nominated, I was extremely happy, especially as I realized who is
also in the same category. For me, it was an honor to be in the same category with Angela White,” Ema says.
Karter launched her OnlyFans in September 2020. By January 2021, she was making “big sums” of money and turned all her attention to the platform.
Ready to step up to the major leagues of porn, she made her mainstream debut with Danny D for Brazzers and since then has done five more scenes for ZZ.
“In 2022 I was at an event and I saw Danny D I walked up to him and said, ‘I am Ema Karter and I want to shoot for Brazzers.’ And so, I was contacted within a week. Sometimes you have to go with the flow,” she says.
Karter says she’s learned that “everything is possible as long as I keep up my ambition and work hard for my dream.”
“I learned to control my emotions and be patient,” she adds.
When she’s not working, she loves listening to music, watching series, going to the cinema, walking in the park, practicing sports and spending time with her family and her cat.
“I see myself in 2024 being even higher in this field, with more experience than I have right now, and I know this can become real by working and learning from the best people in the industry,” Ema says.
