I also will be offering cam shows soon but I didn't think about offering it to potential or past clients hobby wise. Is that something you guys might be into?

Posing is like math, intimidating till it clicks, but a few simple rules will get you most of the way. And, once you know it, it's good for more than just photography, body language is pretty much universal and will draw attention to those who know how to use it (and those who don't) in everyday settings.

If nothing else, learn about head tilt, the 3/4 pose, and "short" and "butterfly" lighting.
Deitrich is one of the most iconic beauties of the ages, and she was ALWAYS the one who told the photographer where the lights would be!
Study the type of photos you really like and want to model your style after and go for it!
