I do both. When I dont feel like talking I turn off my mic and just type




Do you guys use sound or type in freechat? I've been noticing that when I tell guys "make sure your sound is on" they leave. I hate having to type because I use sound on SM and I've started standing and moving around VS sitting so its easier for me to use sound on both sites.

Wow so I just checked my earnings on Cams. Damn anyway. I had a guy who IS a regular charge back all three privates in the same night. Wish they would stop the CB crap. I give him good shows, he know what I will and will not do. He's blocked!

Credit Card problems is usually the reason yes. This guys has been around cams for years! We always go private. I emailed cams about this CB.
Tips??? Now that is bad. Thought that only happened on LJ.

Hey girls! New girl on this forum and I would like to ask u how much $$$ u cam make in a normal day on SM!!! I am currently working on cams.com and I used to make 300-400$ in a average day but lately is very slow! I would love to work on a different site but I don't know something similar with Cams..any suggestions???

Thank u

I'm just curious.. since this forum isn't nearly as active as sm or mfc, so i couldn't find much info about cams/the experience of working for the site (besides the low $$% and the potential for cb). I'm trying to find a site similar to work for or as close to working for somewhere like sm as possible - in the effect that it's mostly private based, not a ton a free-chatting. The site I've been on for about a year happens to be a sm affiliate or something, but doesn't have the traffic to really make as much as sm - and since it's somehow affiliated I can't work on sm until 6 months from the last camming date...in order to do that, I need something to replace it with where I can make more than 25-35$ in 2-3 hours. Is this possible here or do you ladies have any suggestions for me?

TLDR; do you like it here despite the potential for cb and low%? would you say it's mostly private-based as opposed to free-chat based? Thanks for the help in advance lovelies!

I still like it there... when SM has been dead lately, I've been focusing on cams.com more. I definitely think you should be able to make more than $35 in a few hours if you have decent placement. I'm on page 2-3 on cams.com and it's pretty good for me there.

Maybe I can answer this for you.
You put yourself there. The lower your earnings the higher up the page you go, or even to the first page if there are not many working. The higher you set your earnings the lower down you go on the page or pages. I set my percentage as high as I can when not working Happy Hour. Placement does not really seem to matter on Cams if you are not buried under hundreds of performers. Customers search and find. I hang on page 2 usually (or did) and got more people and beggers. Now I think I may be on page 3 or 4 and have the same amount of traffic.
Another way to be on the first page, or number one is to work Cams daily for many hours. Reviews, ratings, fanclubs.. I am sure all this helps. I would not worry about that however. Just work it and set your percentage high as it allows. Open another screen and see where you are. Go from there.
Good luck.

how do you get good placement on that site?

I notice that the more money I make, the higher I am. I think it's mostly related to how much you make. In the model admin there is also an area to see who is in the top earnings for the day (it doesn't show amounts only names), and it shows where you are as well. It changes daily.

Also, customers can sort the view based on who is in free, who is in private, and who is in nude chat. Your placement goes higher depending on what you earn where. For example, I am very high placed in nude because that is where I make most of my money. I am usually in the first several rows of nude chat, where as I'm page 2-3 in free chat.

I have never lowered my percentage made in order to get higher placement. I experimented with it a couple times and it did not seem to make any difference.

So as a general thought, this is a good site to try since I'm not able to work on sm. I'm definitely going to look into cams this weekend and figure out for sure if I want to add this to my plate. If anyone else has any thoughts/opinions on the profitability despite charge backs or maybe an idea of the atmosphere. I'll attempt to watch some other girls this week too so i get the idea about the free-chat atmosphere too.

Hi!I work on cams.com for over 4 yrs now(i have tried MFC and Xlove but did not work for me). About the chargebacks-90 days since your first broadcast u will have charge backs from the site because of the fraud that happened in the past with several models! After the 90 days u will have small charge backs and they will be only from tips!Like on every site all u need is patience and lot of work and u will have great results! the first paycheck u will get after a month since u start working and your payment shouldn't be less the 50$ i believe!
The guys will have a interest in the first 90 days because u will be promoted as a new model and this way if u are smart u will create your regulars and will grow from there!As every other site if u are grumpy and sad most of times of course u wont make money but if u smile and be creative i think all girls should do well!
Me personally do not recommend NUDE CHAT !u make more money in privates then to stay in nude for 0.99/min(happy hour promo). Is time wasting and they will loose all interest for private!
The rates after private as well the money and the hours spend online will reflect on your position on the page(we all know as high on the page more better for private and so on)!!!
Of course cams.com has some bad parts like they rite now are working on the site and is slow but i trust they will finish and will get much better !

Hope this helps !!!

nude chat is the one where they start paying the second they get it right? its like a pvt only mode right?

Correct.

But when you first start on the site you have to make sure you have your nude broadcast options to "Nude Only" NOT "Nude/Tipping". If you do nude/tipping they can enter nude chat with no charge except for what they choose to tip.

Two things I wanted to add....

Their "new model" period is from the time you sign up - NOT the time you start to stream. Found this out the hard way. So don't sign up until you are ready to stream or you will lose the whole new model period.

Also, I make the huge majority of my money in nude chat, so I think it depends on the model, like most things in camming. I have my nude set to $1.99/min and I also participate in happy hour nude at $.99/min and I really pull it in during happy hour! I only wish I was online more often during happy hour.

JaneBurgess
01-15-2014, 06:35 PM
I tried Happy Hour because I thought I was getting paid the .99 cents a minute, but my take was .29 a minute per person. Cams is a good site if you want to be paid really low rates.

Well yah, you will always make a percentage of what the rate is of course.

It works if you can get a lot of people in the room. Personally I don't care what I'm making per person, I care about my bottom line. Similar to gold shows, they might be paying a small rate per person, but if I make what I feel is good for me, I'm happy.

With how I use cams.com and all my other split sites, it's really just a nice extra to pad my Streamate earnings. I don't enter nude chat, and I don't usually accept privates on any of my split sites unless I'm already in private or gold show on Streamate. So it's all just extra icing on the cake for me.

I really like Cams! Pretty much everything about it is great. I usually leave it on in the background while I focus on SM... but I still interact in free chat and take privates when they occur. I'm still not making a whole lot though. The most I ever made in a day was about $50 in like, 6 hours.. lol. Of course, $10/hour is still pretty good when it's just a split cam site that I don't have to hardly pay attention to.

Can European models work on this site? I've signed up on Cams and when I check my earnings page I see this: You won't receive payment until you complete the W-8 form below.

But there is no form. I searched on the web forums about the issue and saw I have to get a US tax number or something, and I don't know how/where to get that. Also I read in an old thread here, that if I'm not from US, I don't need to send this form. If that's true, will this message dissappear by itself and I will get paid or not?

I've seen a lot of European models on cams.com.

The W-8 is for US models. I don't think it applies to you, but you might want to message support just to be sure you have everything filled out in order to be paid. Their support is usually pretty good.

You can delete them actually. I've posted it on here before but when I'm at my computer (on iPad right now) I'll look and tell you how to do it.

But just so you know they have to pay per viewing of the videos, they can't download them so it would be really difficult for them to share the videos.

Oh, okay! I see. I'm glad they just can't download and save it because that would make it easier for them to upload it elsewhere.

Yes I see now, since they can't download it and can record the screen anyway while I'm in free chat, its kind of the same risk. I'm just glad I usually watermark my screen at all times :)

You can delete your recorded shows. Just click on the "My Account" tab and from there click on "Video Introductions", which should be listed under "Fan Club". When you click on "Video Introductions" it should say "My Video Categories". Where it says "Members Only" you should see the number of videos you have recorded. Click on the number and from there you should be able to delete any or all of your recorded shows. Hope this helps. :)

Yeah, they stupidly removed the other Happy Hour slot which I was really ticked about because I used to make a lot during Happy Hour! It used to be 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM PST also but for some idiotic reason they removed that time slot and now it's only 3AM to 6AM. :( They said it would "make us more money" but it's done nothing but make me less during those hours.

But yes, if you are ever online during those hours, you can still exit out of nude chat at any time.

I hate that they claim I am in violation all the time. I went to get a pair of high heels someone asked for in a show and they said I wasn't on cam. If a person is gone for 20 seconds they need to back off. I think its a huge reason so many performers won't work on their site.
