If she had three guys in private chat then after 25 mins she'd have $100 (at the lower rate she says she started on) or two guys in private for half an hour at the higher rate of $4.99. I personally don't see why it's not possible. I made $115 in 30 mins the other night. That's unusual. But it's not unachievable.

I was b2b like EFFING crazy when I first started on Streamate, too. I remember because I always put on Keith Sweat's "Twisted" during free chat and kept on re-starting it over and over and over because I was annoyed I never finished the whole song. Lol. So, it could be.

The ironic thing is that when I first started SM for the first couple of weeks I had horrible cam quality(no adobe encoder or HD). I was using the DSL setting. Either way these guys went pvt B2B and everytime I asked for gold for standing,showing body,etc They sent it w no problems. I was making b/w 4-500 a week which wasn't bad for the amount of hours I worked. Anyway fast forward to me using Adobe encoder moving all the way to the top of the rows(in the Ebony section) I have to literally pull teeth w these guys for gold and to go pvt. In my case its harder making money w good quality then it was w the bad quality. I'll never be able to understand this...lol

Honestly I have made 1 grand in one week but it was during a promotion. I usually end up with about 500-700 per week. I stay on cam about 3-5 hours 5 days a week. Hope this helps.

The problem I have is that if I let more than one guy into PVT at a time, one of the two leave. Even if I give them personal attention. So I jack my rates up to the 4-5 dollar range and only keep one guy at a time. In my experience, the ones I turn away while in PVT come back later when I'm available.
I have tried everything trying to keep more than one customer in private at a time. I just can't lol. But some men don't like extreme fetishes. My husband cringes when he hears me talking to guests about CBT. So I guess if I have a foot slave and a CBT guy, the foot slave is not going to keep a woody listening to me talk to a guy about how he's to pinch his balls with clothespins. I'm assuming if I were doing sex shows then it would be different.

^I only do requests in exclusive so it's easier to keep more than one person in private at one time. I always let them know that 'private' is 'group' chat on SM and that they need to take me exclusive for personal attention. That's the only way I can think to keep it fair on everyone.

Good idea. The problem for me is that I can't just sit there and get naked and do a run of the mill sex show with a toy, etc. With fetishes, each one is specific. Exclusive for me is 6 bucks/min. I have had some do that. I run the risk of losing money when I allow more into private chat. The main person who was set on spending a lot of money ends up not wanting to stay as long either.
I'll start pitching it like you said though and I'll see what happens.
BritishBecky
12-30-2011, 11:22 AM
Maybe set your private to more than your exclusive to discourage private? My exclusive is $6 per min too, and that's just for vanilla... I don't really do any fetish at all, so I think you could get away with raising your rates!
But, when I first started on sm my policy was 'first come first served' so you could just take the time to explain to each subsequent guy... "(name here) is directing the show right now, please come back in a min if you want my attention"

I can't set it for any more than 6. On Imlive, the MOST a 5 star host can charge is 5.80/min. The 6/min is pre determined by Imlive and cannot be changed.
Also, I have no way of talking to a person who is wanting to enter my already private room who isn't actually sitting in my free chat box. A box pops up that says XXX wants to join your private chat "accept" or "decline". I can only accept them or decline them. So I usually just hit decline. I also can't e mail a member unless they have been in my private chat. And can only e mail them once every so many hours. Of course, anyone can e mail me and I can respond. Well, they can put me on their favorites and I can send out mass emails to them. The interface is really easy to work with, but those are the issues I have with them. I'd do exactly what you suggest, but the site won't let me.
I have actually demanded my slaves tip me for hanging in free chat by taking me private for 5 minutes or so. We can't get tips unless someone takes us to private anyway, and then they still get 60 percent of our tips.
BritishBecky
12-30-2011, 01:53 PM
Yeah, I meant once they are in the paid chat, you can always just suggest they come back. I didn't realise you are on imlive though. Can't you set the room to 'private' on there? So that it shows as 'full' to other guests. Anyway, only trying to make suggestions. Your camming style is entirely your choice :)

Yeah I set the room to private most of the time. But, I meant when I was entertaining a guest already and then someone wanted to go PVT with me. PVT's is how we make our money. If someone is in PVT, they are paying.
I do free live chat sometimes though which is horrible but it helps to generate more customers. I appreciate the suggestions. Definitely going to start asking people if they care if others come into our room before we get started.

12-30-2011, 04:23 PM
Once they come in you can set the room to private? so it's just you and them, if you choose to. (I'm not talking about free vs non-free chat). You always used to be able to do that on imlive. Or, just tell the second person, once they are in paid chat, that they can sit back and enjoy what you are doing for person one or come back later. Did I explain it better this time? *walks away from thread*

The problem I am having right now is that I am trying to make $1,000 a week consistently. Right now I am averaging between 700-800 a week just on SM and I cam about 5-8 hrs most days. I am wondering how many of you ladies who are averaging 1,000 or more per week are on other sites? Do you girls make that much combining several different sites? Or do you also count clips, pictures, underwear as well?

Yup. This has happened with me many times on ImLive and Streamate. They leave as soon as they realize they're not alone with you. On ImLive I just stay in private with the guy who got to me first. Guy #2 will have to just wait to ring me again for private, once I'm done with the first guy.

Some of these numbers are really impressive...as I said, it's my first week, within 6 days I made over $800 and over $900 in 7 days, some days were full days and some days just a few hours. Probably around 35+ hours total. Today and yesterday have been extremely slow on streamate. I hope it's just because it's after the holidays and the end of the month.

I made 300.00 on Christmas day and Christmas Eve I made 100 for just a couple hours. So I think your earnings are pretty good. Maybe your site experienced a flux like mine???? I'm hoping this streak continues.

Yeah me too, I was on for 30 minutes with no tokens and hardly ANY traffic in my room. Someone on my friends list tried to take me private 3 times, but it kept kicking us out so we gave up. I think I made like 40 tokens from the few seconds we were in private. ::)
I'm thinking it will get better after the New Year.

Yeah, I've been having an issue with privates shows on MFC not working right. When stuff like that happens, I hope that guys are cool enough to realize that it's not my fault...just another one of MFC's tech issues.
As pissed off as it makes me to log off with only like $25 earned, I still make sure to tell my room goodnight and thank my tippers before I log off, and I post a tweet to thank them. I don't want to be considered an "ungrateful bitch." :P

I'm not trying to keep this weird derail going on but I do have to say that a tiny screenshot isn't going to convince me of anything. It is very easy to fake that and honestly, if you did make the money, why do you have to prove it to us. If you REALLY want to convince me, make a screenshot of the page with the days open so we can see that you actually ended up with that and didn't just manipulate it in photoshop. In all honesty though, don't do that. I don't care that much and you shouldn't either.
again, if you made that, who gives a shit. We have gone over the fact that it IS possible - just unlikely - and that new girls shouldn't run into the website hoping for those earnings.

Yes i easily do at least 1,000 POUND a week! made over 1,000,2 days running this week, so clearing around 600 each day! its easily done girls... and i think if more women in this world new about the easy money in camming then they would jump at it! go all u high earners and ignore the negativity
How are we being negative?
I think a lot of us are just being honest and realistic.
Yes, there are high earners, but I don't think $600 a day is the norm for somebody who is new (although it's possible). Or even the norm for a lot of other people.
When you state your numbers and imply that it's the norm and that it's "easy", I see it as a negative thing, because you are implying that the new girls who make $200 a day are inadequate.

Okay, so you make $935 a day, which is a lot. Wasn't saying you were a newbie, but I thought you were referring to our discussion about newbies making/not making a lot of money.
I wasn't looking for proof and never accused you of lying.

01-03-2012, 06:01 PM
^how many hours are you putting on cam in a day to make $935? not attacking just curious.
way to go tho, i am slowly trying to build up my stamina to stay on cam long enough to pull that kind of money in, in a single day. way to rock it!
also i don't think anyone was really trying to be negative about girls who pull in big numbers. i do highly praise and congradulate those girls. i just think that we just want to get all of the facts straight and would like to see the pie as a whole, so to speak. it's also important to know that other ladies who aren't pulling in those kinds of numbers to feel like a failure as well. lots of factors fall into place when achieving such high earnings, so it's not the performer's fault, just different formulas are being used. no one should have to prove physically anything, but just be more specific when calling out numbers, so that everything stays realistic in the scope of things.

If you are making great money like this, why on earth would you pay ~10% of your earnings (I assume you are on adultwork) for a service like DailyPay? Wouldnt it make more sense to just... wait for the regular check, and keep more of your $$?
(Just trying to understand the reasoning, not trying to offend -- I understand that a service like DP can be a godsend if one is really in a fix.)

Yeah I agree with bubblegumbitch, I don't think any of the girls meant to be negative. It is quite possible to make those numbers but unfortunately it sets the stage for all newbies to think that it's easy money/fast money and that right off the bat anyone and everyone can have those numbers. If you don't believe me please search for all the newbie posts that have been plaguing the forum lately, "Please help...I don;t know what to do!" "How do I earn x amount fast!" Just the last 4 months there have been numerous posts every week about this and then some of the n00bs get upset when the veterans tell them this is a job like any other and you have to put the time in, do the research . . .etc. Does that make sense? We just want to make sure that the new girls are realistic, that's all.
By the way how many hours did you put in on AW to earn that much? I signed up in the beginning of October and AW hasn't been able to verify my account, lame. So I can't wait to try the site.

It's not necessarily about being 'in a fix'. Some people don't feel like waiting twice a month (or whatever the pay frequency is) for their payment. And as far as checks...waiting forever for a check from Webcams.com (or whoever) SUCKS ASS. :P
And A LOT of us on here use PrincessJenny's daily pay service, and we feel that it's worth the fee that's taken out. Jenny is awesome and very professional, and it's nice knowing that the money earned from MFC tonight will be on my card tomorrow. :) Also, I feel MORE motivated to work when I know I'll get the money the next day.

Similar problem here. This week will be a $1,000 week for me from just streamate. AW will bring me $300 and NF around $140.
But most weeks I am only averaging $500-1000 from all three sites. I want to keep on rolling like I am this week!

I think I probably could make 1000 if I put in the hours, but I lack the discipline. Once I'm out of school and seriously have to pay back my loans, I plan to cam full throttle tho. :D
I think it's definitely possible for almost anyone, you just need to be willing to be on for very long shifts, unless you are very lucky with customers/regulars.

Thanks for sharing your perspective, BrownFox. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. :-/ And yes... if DP motivates you to get on cam and make more $ than you ever would on a weekly or bi-weekly payout schedule, then it's a no-brainer, for sure. (In my mind, for someone who earns $1000/day to pay $100/day of that to see her money a few days earlier than normal... wouldn't be worth it. But that's just me, I guess.)
That said, I agree that PJ is extremely helpful, and 100% professional in the service she provides.

For AW (and sm/mfc) british performers save money on the exchange rate and bank fee's using us. Its not as bad as it seems on paper as theres alot of hidden fee's going through the normal method whereas we have no hidden fee's. Being in the dp group on AW can also help generate more interest that normal members may not normally get. No negative balances either when trying to withdraw credits. No delays due to holidays (AW havent paid out to us in weeks now).
Payout can be 20 days earlier than normal. Always a minimum of 2weeks earlier though.
Alot of plus's in exchange for that 1 fee but I understand were your coming from :)
Edit: Member above may not have ever hit the £1000 a day mark if the extra interest wasnt there (probably would have if you try hard enough but who knows :D).

I would love to know this too! I'm on the dailypay thing so I guess I get traffic from that group too, but my earnings have taken a huge nosedive. Very discouraging. I'm not from the UK though so maybe guys don't like US gals as much there, but I did used to have some good regs from the UK.
I tried reducing my group price and it helped a little, but damn I miss that AW money I used to pull in.

For US performers I think the timings can be a major factor. As most may be logging in when the clients are sleeping as its a UK site. The GMT clock is on the top of this page 9am-11am, 11pm-3am are general busy times.
Other than that, consistency, updating content, messaging members when your online. There is times were raising your price gets more clients also so if lowering didnt help try raising them.
