Yeah, I'm assuming you can pretty much do anything in Nude Chat. One thing I will tell you though. Earlier I was chatting with a former MFC reg (and he joined Cams under my referral link...YAY!!!) in Nude Chat, and when I tried to type "MFC" in the chat box, I believe the word "MFC" was automatically edited out...and some warning came up in the chat saying that what I'm discussing is "illegal." Yes, they actually used the term 'illegal' just for me mentioning MFC. *rolls eyes* Wow.....
Yah LOL they do censor some words, there are some weird ones they censor, I don't remember the exact ones but I was trying to do a semi taboo roleplay with someone on there and his text kept being censored.

They censored "location" for me today. I was asked what state I lived in and I typed out "I don't give out my location" and I got the error lol.

What software works best to split this site? I know the broadcast settings are the same as the ones for SM, just wanna know what I can split with...I'd be splitting with AW, since I like working there and its paid only also, so it doesn't really matter if someone wanders in my room and I'm doing something explicit.
What software can I use to keep the HD factor on both sites successfully?

I just couldn't. So I have to use 2 laptops and 2 webcams. That way I'm not running my computer too hard trying to keep everything with the best quality possible.

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure toys, bottom nudity, role-play, fetish, etc allowed there. I forgot about the pay for c2c... so glad I re-read thru all of this today.
Next question- from reading here many of you camming 2+ sites at a time say you put other sites into Gold, nude, etc when taken private on another site? How do you all manage to get one site into a "gold show, nude chat, etc" quickly without paying customer leaving? I have just been putting the other on break but realize I could be losing some paying customers by doing that.I am using 2 computers when I do this so changing /moving keyboards, screens, etc.
And I am guessing there is not a break button on cams?
Sorry for all the questions.. :)

This site seems to be getting more and more lurkers. I used to have fun on there but now I keep getting people bitching $3.99 a minute for private is high and they always come into nude chat and think its a private show. Might have to push them to a site to only do occasionally, still pissed they lied about 45 percent and it's actually 29 percent. A-holes.

I have a couple questions....
1) I see that it records like every pvt can I remove them from the ppv somehow a couple of them are just horrible.
2) Can I add prerecorded vids to the "recorded pvt" thing like where it pays when ppl view it?
3) Are chargebacks common?
Sorry if these have already been mentioned before but my mind is too numb from camming today to go back and read 9 pages

Yes you can delete your recorded shows. You can do that by going into your fan club and going into the "My video introductions" to delete whatever prerecorded shows you want.
I have only gotten 5 dollars in charge backs since I have been there. I would not worry too much about that :)
Oh and you can add pre recorded shows to your fanclub for your fanclub members to view

No, you are paid when they join your fan club. It's part of the monthly membership they pay.

Thank you so much for the response!
Does someone have to be a member of your fanclub to view those videos or can they just pay to watch them like the recorded pvts?
And do you actively promote your fanclub or do guys just join on their own?

You can leave your pre recorded shows out for members to pay and view or move them over just for your fan club to see. Your FC gets to watch your movies for free as a benefit. I don't promote my fan club but I still have people join all the time. Today I had 3 join today so I got 100% of their memberships so that was 30 bucks for doing nothing. The key doing well on cams is to log in often to get your regulars because they are pretty loyal :)

No, I don't think any of that is forbidden. I've said "You have to go private for that" before (and typed it), as well as my general location (and typed it), and it hasn't been flagged. I just know that the other day, something was flagged when an MFC reg and I briefly mentioned MFC, and he asked if I will "keep in touch" even after I stop camming.

On each of those typed messages I got the message that it was using illegal /forbidden terms and message not sent. That is what I could not figure out. So I did not know if it was not allowed to ask/encourage customers to go into private shows.

I don't think anyone answered this yet, so what that means is that's how much credit he has left in his account. So he had 28 minutes worth of credit in his account at your per minute rate.

Got approved finally :) happy about that for sure. I've been trying to update my bio and info yet nothing reflects on my page. Is this one of those things where you have to fill out EVERYTHING in order for the site to create your profile etc?
Also in terms of placement, I have set my pay percentage at 35% cos that's the highest it can go, and I've been given where I would rank in free and paid chat. Does this placement fluctuate due to other factors or am I stuck at the bottom because I have this percentage? Does it need to be changed?

I am signed up and approved on cams, but haven't been on there in about 2 years, because at that time, sm, and mfc were very busy.
What am I required to do in 'nude'? Do I have to talk to the members? Do I have to be masturbating, or touching myself the entire time?
Thanks, Glam

I think it's all factors (except luck lol) But my pay percentage is at 45%. Their algorithm is kind of like SM. When I first started there I was like in position 144. Then I upgraded my camera and moved up to around 38, at this time I worked regularly (15-20hrs a week) and built my regulars and ratings. Then I broadcasted in HD and bumped it to model 20 something and built more. Now my placing is around 6-10 normally. You can make great money not being top row, I still made over 100 a day at that time.

Yeah, I'd ask them why you can't go to 45%...especially since they take an extra 16% from everyone...even at 45% you'd only get 29%. So at 35% you're actually only receiving 19%.
SimoneGray
09-15-2014, 05:38 AM
^^ Exactly! I spent time at SM getting 20% because of a studio mistake, I will not work for that again. I don't care if its 9% extra, that shit adds up.
Also, no matter how many times I update my profile etc, only the 'basic' stuff shows on the front end of the site, not all the other awesome details that I want out there. None of my extra text is pending review etc, so I'm not sure what's going on with that either. Do I need to do a broadcast in order to fix that?
This site is making me want to cry...sigh

I was going to say that it all has to be sent to review so it might take a day or so to show up. Usually it says pending review in red text, I believe.
Also I wouldn't bother lowering the percentage. It doesn't really bump you up enough to make a significant difference, especially when the payout percent is low to begin with. If you're not able to go up to 45% I think that I read on here somewhere before that this is one of those sites that lowers your percentage based on your location. I'm not 100% sure on that, but if you're not in the US, that might be why. :(
Regarding ranking, keep in mind they have separate ranking for free chat, nude chat, and private chat. Right now I'm placed at spot 150 in free but i'm spot 20 in nude. I think the more you make overall and in private, the higher you move up in free, and the more you make overall and in nude, the higher you move up in nude.

So I just found out I've been suspended from Cams for 24 hours for supposedly sleeping on cam. That actually has happened to me once on Cams, but it did not happen last night. As soon as I started getting really tired last night, I disconnected and shut down my computer. This is so annoying. Guess I have no choice but to cam on ImLive today then.

I don't sleep on cam, but can I just show my body, while doing something else...and ignore the guys?

Yep, as long as you're showing nudity you're good. There aren't any rules on what you have to be doing, except you have to be nude. I ignore them in nude chat as well...I think they've grown to expect that.

Correct. Just make sure you are in the view of the cam at all times, they like to give warnings or suspensions for leaving the cam view. You really have to be there the entire time, even stepping off frame for a moment will usually get you a warning.

Thanks every one! I think it's coming back to me why I stopped camming on there shortly after I signed up with other sites I still do well on.
I'm going to just use it when I'm ready to focus there, without any other sites open.
Just to practice their way of camming.
It does sound like nice extra income I've been missing out on.

I have only been on cams for 2 weeks and still learning a lot. I don't use the encoder and keep a nice room full with a good amt of paid shows so far. The guest do keep me busy with questions. I try to do it and KL together but on separate computers. I have done with with SM some but trickier with the SM traffic most nights. I love being able just to click into nude chat when I get a show on either of the other sites. So will just keep my fingers crossed on this one as second site. :)

While signed in click on "Help" at the top bar. Then under "Quick Guide for New Models" click on "Broadcasting in HD". That will give you the instructions for the encoder. I always use it...not sure if it makes a difference money wise though.
