Okay, so I spent about 3 hours on SkinVideo today. I only made 321 tokens which kinda sucks, but it REALLY isn't a bad start considering I was splitcamming with AdultWork at the same time. Each time I got a private on AdultWork, I'd switch to group mode on SV and I'd almost always get a few "peekers" coming into group to see what I was up to. So I earned a little bit extra for each private than I would have otherwise.
So for now SV gets a thumbs up for me. I'll most likely run SV & AW together at all times and when I don't feel like being social I'll just stay in group mode all day. Hellz yeah.

I'm a new cam girl and was accepted to the site! I'm very excited to try this. I feel very comfortable where I was quite weary with other sites. Kathleen seems so sweet, I'm glad there's a lady running it. I hope to see you gals around :)

The thing I dont like about group is that I just did a super explicit show and made like $6 and anywhere else it would have been like $15. Not gonna lie I prefer MFCs 60 tokens per minute in pvt. PVts are hard to get buy at least they are worth the money

Are you split camming you mean? SkinVideo has 60 token privates too.

I was just about to post about that :)
I had a private there and at 60 tokens/min 80% the money adds up soo fast! omg.
I'm really hoping I can be online a lot and build up a good fanbase there.

I don't think it's going to work that way unfortunately. Call me Debbie downer but the girls that are making the most money on there are doing so because they've brought almost all of their fans from MFC. The traffic there is doodoo. The things that Bambalina mentioned earlier (the cam part being on the 'back burner', search engines not recognizing it as a cam site) are going to keep it that way until they're fixed. Unless you have the ability to sit spend a lot of time without really worrying about what you make for a while.

A couple models are actually leaving MFC for SkinVideo. I'm all signed up to cam there, but I think I'll wait until the traffic is better.

this site is great! what i dont get though is whenever someone comes into my room for group they dont talk! ive had a few guys stay for a short bit but i say hi to them and they dont respond. is this just me?
btw i think we should get the streammate guys to come here!

Yeah, at the moment I wouldn't count on SkinVideo to make a great deal of money, but it's fun to have on "in the background" while camming on other sites. However, I do have a feeling the site is going to *explode* sooner or later, mainly due to MFC models making the transition there, so it's a good idea for us to get our foot in the door now.
So how do I contact Kathleen anyway? I tried the link "contact us" at the bottom of the site but haven't gotten a response yet. Should I use the "share feedback" link or does anyone have her address where I can email her directly? I need to get my Payoneer set up so I can be paid on time.

Smurfette I will pm you her email. Not sure if it'd open her up to spambots if I post it here since google picks up posts here.

I too find that a lot of guys are silent watchers both in public and group. I did a group show that was like 20 minutes long and a total of 5 guys had come and go, one staying the whole time and none of them said a word to me even when I tried to talk to them, it was really weird! lol

have u tried? i send customers my contact info and havent been banned yet. idk if its gonna withhold my paycheck though :-(
honestly after i get my paychecks im thinking of just spamming my room with info to a better paying cam site till i get banned.

I love skinvideo. I am not a MFC model and have brought 0 traffic there, and I am doing pretty good. I tried it on splitcam in group mode during an hour long show about 3 times. Twice that was successful, once it was not. Today I finally spent some time in free chat and got a 700+ token private. Like laurielegs said, that 80% adds up nice and fast. The only thing I can see *is* the site getting better from here. There has just been an explosion of girls, and like someone said above, if MFC models bring their guys with them, it can only work out good. Not every site is for everybody, but skinvideo is quickly skyrocketing to my #2 site, just behind NF. If things improve, it can become my #1.

I think that guys from MFC are not the big hope here. I have a strong feeling that MFC guys will follow their MFC girls, and maybe blow a few tokens in other rooms, but generally, those guys LIKE mfc, and this site doesn't really FEEL like MFC...

Good to know about the private chat. If I'm sitting in group all day is it still possible for them to take me private? Free chat is creeepy, no one talks. I did split cam between AW and SV today. splitting my cam slows down my comp to like the speed of DEATH. It actually makes free chat for SV near impossible because it's slow. Im going to try to get up reaaaally early tomorrow and cam all day and most of the night. Just NOT get off the computer. Sit in paid chat for both.

I think I might wait until they fix the pixelation issue and maybe get a little more traffic. I'll probably mostly stick to group mode too...I really love that they have that option and I wish MFC did too. I really want this site to improve and take over MFC because I have recently decided that I hate MFC, mostly because of camscore. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer on that site.

yea i was wondering about this earlier.. how far do you go when it's just one guy in the room?? i feel like it's too little money to show much if it's just one guy.. but you do want to get them to stay.. so i dunno.. what do you ladies think about this?
Arialandre
02-02-2011, 10:30 PM
Oh I went ALL the way. He was the only decent paying guy of the day and so I didnt feel like fucking it up, lol. Not nearly enough money for what I did though.

I mentioned this earlier, but does anyone know if we are allowed to talk about twitter on streamate? If that won't get us suspended, we can get them to follow us on twitter and they will see our tweets about skinvideo. If mfc girls can bring their own traffic, we gotta figure out a way to do the same.
On a side note...isn't that how mfc blew up? by word of mouth?
I asked Streamate about that, and they said you can't... I just verbally talk about twitter all the time, though, and find me nonsense.
Like, sometimes I'll discuss trending topics or blah blah hee hee look at what so and so said.. and they're like "what's your name" and I'm like "I could never keep up with multiple screen names"

how do they even know ur talking about it though? do they watch every single private show? i mean if they do then no wonder they only pay 35 percent- imagine all the staff they have to pay to watch all the private shows!

they have search filter. Anything related to "contact" "emaiL' mail"' mess'' ym' are picked by their program and showed separately. Or they are highlighted for search filter.

Eroteea is right - they have a search filter. Ifriends does too, triggers if you try to type in an email or anything like that.
You might get away with it for awhile if you are transmitting audio and say it out loud rather than typing it.

Wouldn't hurt to go ahead and open an account babe! Doesn't mean you have to ''log in'' to cam. There's nothing like ''new'' model incentives when signing up for a new cam site. Skinvideo is offering 80% percent NOW but you never know when that could change once more models start opening accounts and traffic starts to see a major incline! ;)
MFC used to offer BAF to popular models with high camscores direct NOW every new model must sign up for a premium account in order to receive referral tokens.
Ifriends used to offer 50% upfront to models who cammed on other sites NOW they only offer 35% to models who cam on other sites and 50% to models who are exclusive with the site. Models that signed up 2 years before the new change can now receive 50% AND cam on other sites.
Register for an account babe! I know I will once I get my driver's license renewed! ;)

Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Streamate!
How in the hell can a model talk about Streamate on Twitter but can't talk about Twitter on Streamate?! WTF! Ugh! Everytime I hear the word Streamate I get gassy and constipated! Ugh! >:(

I kind of agree with people who project that a rate of 80% will be unsustainable in the long-run IF this site blows up like it can. But honestly I'm not too worried about what comes in the future. I'm looking at this more from an opportunist perspective and taking advantage of what I can, while I can. If it lasts, great, if not, hey... it was good while it lasted.
So many sites rip us off with the percentages (streamate, imL, LJ), don't pay on time or not at all (internetchatmodels), keep crashing for hours at a time and stress us out to death with camscores (MFC), purchase crap traffic so that we have 150 "guests" in our rooms and like 3 registered members (webcamclub), have a great platform but NO paying traffic whatsoever (most indy sites), or make us change our names so we can't be found, THEN close our accounts and keep all our earnings (mygirlfund)... yeah the site is pixel-y but Kathleen is actually, truly listening to us. And really besides AW, which is great earnings-wise but a total bitch to navigate imo, this site is like pure gold to me, at least for now.
AND, not to knock other sites that are being set up or opening soon, or are in the works, but this site is actually already here. It's not a hypothetical dreamsite that nobody has ever really seen before. Specifically I'm talking about virtualloveaffair and Bambalina's sites. I'm totally looking out for both of these opportunities because I truly believe both site owners really want to provide a good service to the girls and their customers, and instinctively I KNOW it CAN happen, but let's face it, none of us have ever even really seen these sites in action. We can't work sites that are just being "discussed". Seriously no harm meant, it's just my $.02...
Girls have worked this site, have had success, gotten paid already, etc... as far as I'm concerned, that speaks for a lot with the current state of this industry. I'm sure my opinion may not be the most popular but it's all about perspectives here...

I signed up with an expired license. LOL.
I don't know why, but it just seems kind of exhausting to take a new picture of a new license when everyone is perfectly willing to accept the old one.

One time I typed "Paypal" in free chat on Streamate & promptly got a warning. They did not take it in context at all. I wasn't soliciting anyone to use Paypal, I was simply responding to something someone else said... so yeah, if you're gonna mention other stuff on Streamate definitely SPEAK it, do not type it. Even if you just mention it in casual conversation you can get in trouble.
