Who in God's name is up at 3am? What in the world? ;D I guess UK bbs or other countries. Do you guys have two encoders downloaded? I have the 3.1 for sm and they want the 3.2. I wonder if I can get away with just one.



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.

Sorry for all the questions..but are the nude show photos supposed to be for nude chat only? And do they need to be nude or just teasing? Thanks ladies I appreciate all your help!

I've been on cams since march 2003.

I love them they are my 1st home based site I also split with SM (SM since October 2004) and its nice to know I Can still make money on there. I am hoping the more time I spend on the site then I will get back to making $1,600 to $3,000 a month on the site.

I like getting paid via payoneer minimum payout is $50 and making it can be accomplished without feeling like it is a far away goal.

I've done happy sometimes just to build up my fan base but soon I will keep my rates at their default $2.99 nude and $3.99 private then I adjust the other rates accordingly.

I take whatever show I get and try to encourage tips from the site. I pretty much use everything the site has to offer where I make money. so I know it will maximize my earnings and online presence.

When I am working on SM and if I get a paid show on cams I just jump into gold shows on SM, and set it for about 5 minutes or so and work. sometimes I get guys peek in the gold show while I am in private most of them on SM don't even talk so they are getting the voyeur show experience.

I don't get many minute men when I get privates or nude shows on cams which helps a lot with getting the time on SM gold shows. I get way more 30 peekers on SM. but both sites I get the spenders staying for 5 minutes or longer.

Now I am considering what type of computer set up. space reasons I am thinking a desktop for one site and a laptop for another site and have them close by so I can split the 2 sites I don't need to split more sites maybe I will split imlive but right now I am just trying to build a steady business wtih cams and sm. For me right now is planning what to do with 2 computers for camming and how I am going to fit them in my bedroom.

I use the same encoder versions for both sites. I don't remember which one I have... but I use the same version.

The nude show photos are screen caps they take of you during nude chat and I believe maybe during private also, I'm not sure...? If you are in nude chat you must be at least topless. In private you can be how ever the guy wants you to be.

Free chat photos are screen caps they take of you during your time in free chat. I delete most of mine because they are awful!

I do this too! It's a good way to work both sites.

you can access information on your cams model account on both sites with your same model user name and password on models.streamray.com and studios.streamray.com.

When Streamray use to have the model refer a friend program I was able to see my stream status and my "friends" model status in my account.

so it is very easy to add models who essentially work for you in your own model account. I haven't done it but I do like how if I click on create stream I can add a model on my account and we could do couple shows together. or they would be working for me in a virtual studio without the need to set up a studio account. or I could create another account just for studios to keep the earnings separate and easy to payout.

Cams no longer has the in house model referral program. the would be a good way of doing it.

Minnie maybe you can answer my question. Why are they so strict on the not on cam rule? I am tired of them sending me an e-mail with a rule I broke and me having to explain it. I don't understand why we can't leave the cam for 30 seconds to go get an item a paying customer asked for. I almost want to decline shows where I have to go get anything.

It does stress me out with that rule I guess they don't want any screen shots with no one on cam. I got a warning for it to and sometimes it happens when I am bouncing between shows on SM and cams. so I am always freaking out if I have to run out my room, and usually because my cats are fighting each other. So maybe i need to put a sticky note on my work space to remind myself.

Trying to finally complete my model signup with Cams, but it's not accepting my log-in information, and every time I click that 'change my password' option or whatever, I follow the instructions in the e-mail, and still get a 'This information is invalid' message or something. SMH. So right now it's just a matter of me recovering my damn password or getting a new one so I can log in and complete this God damn registration, and just start on this site already! *sigh*

Streamray actually does have a 1800 number where real people answer. I ended up calling them because I wasn't getting emails from them when I needed to change my payment method. that is the one thing I do really like about them.

Oh, for the love of God...

Now they've e-mailed me saying that all they need is the 2257 document from me. But when I log in, it shows a check mark next to all of those registration steps, and there is no 2257 document file anywhere on the page for me to click/download/print. So now I just e-mailed them, asking them to send me an attachment of the 2257 document. This is the pain-in-the-ass part about registering as a model for cam sites.

but you are also on daily pay as well, so chances are whoever you signed up with for daily pay also has control access to your account. IT's more then just contacting cams and see what is wrong with your account, once they find out you are on daily pay they will direct you to contact the person who has the daily pay studio.

I signed up for cams.com forever ago but never finished uploading my documents. They will not accept an electronic signature like most places and I didn't have easy access to a printer or scanner at the time. Now I have a printer but no easy access to a scanner so I emailed them to ask if I can get a clear copy with my digital camera if they will accept it. I also emailed them to change my name to my new name I use for camming but it's been like 5 days and no response. I guess if nothing soon then I will open another account. Does anyone know if they will accept a picture of the agreement though?

OMG, that is EXACTLY what happened to me the other day. It was maddening. I've actually had to e-mail them to let them know that something is not right with their site. Now that I'm approved and all, I can't even start broadcasting because of that stupid "You cannot use this stream...there are no models using this stream" (or whatever the message was) message that keeps coming up. I guess I'll be sticking with ImLive for now.

Between me and you (and hopefully other models) e-mailing them about this glitch, I hope they will take us seriously and do something about it. I know that on some cam sites, the Support people tend to treat issues like they're the models' fault. So I'm hoping their Support people will take this seriously. I'd really love to give Cams a try. If I'm happy enough with it, I may even have it replace ImLive.

I'm enjoying Cams Nude Chat so far! :) Guys are coming into Nude Chat making requests, so I put in my room topic that requests are for Private Chat. And I'd be willing to switch over to Free Chat (though if I do that, I'll have to quickly cover up with a blanket while in Free Chat) IF the guy is gonna immediately take me private from there. But in Nude Chat, I'm not taking requests. You just sit back and enjoy my chocolatey goodness! :P

^^^Awesome! I really like nude chat too. Make sure you have it on "nude only" NOT "nude/tipping" in your account settings tho, or they won't pay by the minute and will only just tip if they want to (which they pretty much never do in the nude/tipping mode).

I think you still can but I'm not 100% sure... they used to actually have a place on your profile where you could put your twitter name but it looks like they've taken it off. I still tell people all the time on cams to check out my twitter, especially when they ask what gold shows are. :)

Yeah if you do nude/tippping mode you HAVE to be nude regardless if anyone is tipping. I keep it on nude only mode and go into nude mode when I get a private or do a gold show on SM, then people can come in and watch if they want and I just ignore them for the most part. Otherwise I'm in free chat on cams to try and get privates there too.

The rules of paypal haven't change I think with streamray/cams since they do not pay you saying they are streamray or cams its comes from melody inc they can get away with sending out payments.

If you want to use paypal to collect your payments from streamray then do that, just don't make it a huge habit to collect payments for other things related to camming.

I wouldn't risk it. Paypal will shut your account down if they find you accepting payments for adult services.

Geez!!! Another violation?? I've been working on there for about 2 months now and I have had 3 violations. I guess I showed my tits for 31 sec instead of 30 sec today during Tits for Tips. I split with SM so it makes it kinda hard to mind all their little rules.
How many violations have you girls had? I would hate to be yanked from their site, I make at least $60 a night by leaving it on in the background and I would hate to lose it .

A few months back they have me 2 violations and I fought them tooth and nail because it was a glitch on the sites end. I ended up cursing out the customer service rep because he wasn't believing me. But the next day they removed the violations from my file because they found that something was wrong with my stream. I love cams but I can't stand their CS department

JaneBurgess
08-30-2014, 09:43 PM
I fight every violation. Once they said I wasnt on cam and when I asked for the screenshots they sent me ones with me on camera. They also said I was off cam before and I was. A customer asked for an item and I went to get it. I was gone maybe 20 seconds. They would have more performers if they didnt have such stupid rules. I can see being off cam for a long time but under 30 seconds is lame for a violation.

I don't bother trying to fight violations. I don't get them a lot, but I do get them for random things. I don't think you need to be worried about being suspended unless you are getting them A LOT.

Just try to be a little more careful, don't flash very long, push the stop button before leaving cam view if you're in free, tell customers you can't leave the cam view to get things in pvt so ask for requests first, things like that. I think the "not in cam view" violations might be automatically sent or something, that's what it looks like to me.

So to avoid this, do I need to like type a letter or two into the chat box or something? Lol. Smh...

10 years ago , showing my anus cause my thong wasn't covering enough area. this year or last year, not being on cam for a moment cause I had to run and break up a cat fight. so this time around I got a first warning.

You might want to set a timer on your phone or something for the tip 4 tits weekend. cause $60 a day on Streamray is some serious nice coin a $900 pay period.
