Mabey they just dont have a profile yet... I signed up late january and emailed about a profile then, and kathleen just got back to me today. They have been really busy with everyone signing up so i dont think its too big a deal, you dont need the profile to work there anyway, though it will be nice for people to look at, when i am not online. Thats my guess tho.

^^ Yeah, my computer is a piece of shit and it uses up too much CPU when multi-camming... I really don't know why, it has a lot of RAM and I've done everything I can possibly think of to speed it up, getting rid of background programs, etc. but I still get a lot of complaints when I multi-cam, everyone says it freezes etc... and because of that I think I make less money between two sites when I multi-cam than I'd make working one site alone.
Are you running any of the sites in HD? Using HD on webcams will not only
kill your bandwidth but it will also suck the life out of your CPU. HD is a trick
to make sure you only broadcast on one site at a time. I have seen a lot of
girls broadcast in HD and they don't even have an HD webcam...FAIL! :O
The picture quality can only get as good as the webcam you are broadcasting
with.

Omg I am absolutely THRILLED that we can now sell videos on Skin. I am uploaded my first one right now. In my experience there are quite a few fetish guys on this site, and also some vanilla guys who aren't afraid to spend money. This rocks! I'm WAY too excited right about now... ::runs to make more content::

For the girls that are having a hard time getting in touch with Kathleen. The fastest way to get in touch w/ her is by CALLING or TWEETING her. She's usually really quick with the tweeting if you don't feel like calling.

I had it a little while ago but don't have it at the moment. I'm actually trying to find it again because my profile disappeared from the site, so I'm wondering what's up with that. But I also saw that some other girls' profiles disappeared and then reappeared, so I'm not TOO worried. :) It might just have something to do with the video aspect and they're probably working on select profiles.

I was told not to tip other models with tokens I have earned because it screws up our payouts. Several models tipped others and still got paid for all their tokens....so basically when you tip another model, it's coming out of SV's pocket. (Hope that makes sense lol)
Kathleen told me we should buy tokens on a separate account to tip other models. Just thought I would pass that info along.
lagirl
02-21-2011, 05:29 PM
yeah thats what i noticed too. i can tip other models with tips that ive already been paid for. what they need to do is delete our tokens once they send us our checks so this isnt a problem anymore.

I haven't been on in a while and I don't know when I'll be back. I've been extremely frustrated with the silence. It's just so damn weird. People come in and just... don't speak.
Then I made the awful mistake of split camming and forgetting to put myself in group mode during a private on another site. Oh THEN they all had TONS to say. That just pissed me right the fuck off. So to me it's too crazy splitting with and too slow/boring to work it by itself. The 80% is very attractive but I'm irritated right now.

I also find it pretty dead although I do go on at times when everyone is asleep. Silly time zones. I'm really hoping to get something from it, but we'll see.
Also, Aussie cammers, my cheque arrived safe and sound!

There are many many non English speaking customers on sv. They still pay but they might not understand what the fuck we're saying.

This.
I'm finding most of my money is coming from guys in Europe. Like, Germans, Swedes and others. I try to stay in Group as much as possible and just wait for one to come in. I'll talk to him and he'll talk back and it'll be a great show. But, yeah, that same guy won't talk at all in the free chat. Its been super slow on there for me but its still very supplemental and I'm not really pointing any of my regulars toward it. I had high hopes (at the beginning of this thread, lolz!) but it just dropped off for me. Maybe I had a stroke of beginner's luck.

It's almost2:30am and I'm on right now. My offline profile is missing though, hmmm. Anyway I've been away for a bit so we will see how it goes. I'm sitting in group chat reading web comics. I really wish there was some kind of bell so that I could relax.
ShellyConnors
02-25-2011, 09:56 AM
^Yeah a bell would be great. I really like the group chat thing too, but I felt before that it would cut out some of my potential money. For a short while I went nuts cooking on cam. In group chat sure someone would come in and I'd get like 1 token every 2 seconds, or something? I still don't know how much groups and privates cost there. But when doing something interesting going from free straight to private is a HUGE increase in income. My last show there I got like 1200 tokens in less than 20 minutes, between the cost of the private and all of the tipping. It's a fine line between what method is least annoying and which one nets the most income. I think that's why a bell would help so much. It'd be like, going indy or something haha...
Arialandre
02-25-2011, 01:24 PM
Ya I can make more money when I start in free chat from pvt shows. But lately I've been too pissy to sit in free chat while ppl just stare at me and no one talks. Creeeeeepy!

you know you guys can still try to up sell to private chat while in group right? i did it when someone requested toys. i think you just have to log back into "public" for a second for them to request you for private. usually guys dont talk though haha

ShellyConnors
02-27-2011, 02:27 AM
Yeah that's a good move too. Actually, might be the best way to go. That way you *only* have to deal with members with money. You can go straight to private from group though. It happened once for me but I missed it because I was splitcamming. I fail at splitcam SO hard :(

You can be taken from group to private! I didn't know that. Awesome!
Do you happen to know - does it kick out the other members who are watching in group or must one wait until there is only one member left in group to do a private?

I want the option to kick ban WHOMEVER I want from my chat, hands down. This isn't about camaraderie, this is about how I run my business. Just today, I was kicking off chat and a model (who is on SW and she had better be reading this) came in my room and started trying to milk me for info about how to work the site, in general chat. This is exactly how that conversation took place:
Model: hey any tips?
Me (using voice): tips on what?
Model: I read your msg on stripper web about how well u do on here
Model: i was on 2 hrs and nada
Model: so slow
Me (via PM box): This is NOT the place to be trying to talk to me about this. I'm selling here. You need to message me PRIVATELY.
Model: other girls have helped sorry bye
Model: i normaly tip for helping not aure how to sned pvt am new lol
Me: I'm here to do my business, not help you figure out yours.
Model: have a good day ill get help else where
And then she continued to lurk in my room! I switched into 'Group Chat' for a while, which then flushed all of the lurkers out of my general chat but after that, it was practically dead. This model completely derailed my ability to gain momentum from minute one. I should have been able to simply click her out and carry on but I was practically forced into a conversation with her! She wasn't even being polite!
To models lurking other models:
DON'T come into chat and immediately begin drilling a woman about how it works.
DO introduce yourself or announce yourself!
DO ASK the model whose room you're in if its okay for you to watch or join in her chat. Its HER room. She may not want you there at all.
DON'T ask for hustle tips in general chat! She's hustling! You're interfering with how she's communicating with her own customers!
DO get a generic screenname (something gender neutral) and simply watch or contribute tips as any other customer in a moderate amount to maintain the flow of her hustle. The better she can do her job, the more you will learn from her, organically!
If Kathleen decides to keep the models from being able to kick/ban other models at will, there needs to be some agreed upon etiquette. Normally, I wouldn't mind but after today (I was SO in the mood to hustle before that interruption), I'm going to stress that models first announce themselves and then specifically ASK me if they can hang out in my room. I will also require that ALL models converse with me only thru the PM function. I'm huge on disallowing custies from seeing my private dialogue with fellow workers (they don't need to know our business/tips/tricks). Stop broadcasting your shit in front of them in my room. Its tacky.
Camaraderie comes from respect. Respect your fellow models and their businesses.
/rant.
AMEN to pretty much ALL of this. [Yeah, I know this is kinda far back in the tthread, but I wanted to reiterate the awesomeness of this post.]
I don't fuck around. I tried to be nice when models would come into my room @ first on SV, but then I found they were just causing problems behind the scenes. When I say causing problems, I mean they were leeching off people in my room, PMing them, telling them to come check them out, etc.
Asking weird, inane questions in my PM's, how much I make, etc.
Mostly, they just come in to creep. I would say hi, then type to them, [I know not everyone has their sound on at all times.] && they wouldn't say shit. EVER. That personally drives me ape shit. Don't fucking come into my room as a model, && not have the decency to reply to me if I say hi to you. - smh.
The last straw was when some chick came in talking about how she had a bunch of dudes in her room that she was going to send over to spoil me. I was like uh wtf... I don't need that but uh thanks. [I was polite to her, I wasn't rude at all, && was also talking back with her as well while she was in my room.] One of my regs told me to go to her room, so I did from a dif browser as an anon, && her && a couple other people were talking shit about me && a model friend of mine.
Since then, I ban any model IMMEDIATELY who comes into my room. I only allow a few models into my room, but I am pretty close with them, && we all have an understanding. If I am ever not sure if someone is a model or not, I will PM them to ask, && if they say yes, BAN. I can't stop models from coming in. You'll never be able to, cause they can just come in as anon's anyways. [Just like an MFC model can go into another model's room as a Basic.] But if they're gonna do it, do it anon. && don't you dare try to poach anyone in my room. I stopped going into model's rooms. If I do, it's cause I know them. A couple times it has happened by accident when I am logged on from my phone though. =/.
What I don't like, is that I have caught a few models talking shit about me openly in their rooms because of this.
Now, I am all for doing whatever you want as a camgirl, but have some fucking tact, Jesus. I don't ever allow ANYONE to name names in my room. If they do, they get warned, then banned. I don't like the bullshit model drama. When I sign on, more often than not, it is to make money. Not to gossip like it's motherfucking recess time. This isn't HS. I'm sure a lot of girls think I'm bitch for this. I don't give a fuck. I didn't become a camgirl to make friends with every single other camgirl, or woman in this industry.
I'm not saying I am opposed to making friends along the way, I'm just sick of all the bitch drama that comes along with the territory, && why so many chicks have to be jealous fucking haters, && ruin shit, but alas, it happens everywhere, not just with this kind of job. I just find it more rampant in these sorts of situations, for obvious reasons. [&& no, I am not trying to lump every model in with this. :).]
Kathleen is puttting model blocking up, she's just trying to focus more on region blocking, && stuff like that first.
Sorry for the word vomit. :)
