when you guys say daytime hours are good--do you mean morning or late afternoon? I tried around 11am-1pmish and it was very slow. Also I barely had chargebacks on my last check but I haven't logged on to work since then

9 AM - 12 PM EST

I definitely wouldn't work on ImLive exclusively. Maybe the top earning hosts on there could do that, but not me, which is why I think it's good to be an active model on 2 or more cam sites. You could be logged in there from like 9 AM til afternoon/early evening, and still not even have $50 in earnings. In the host forums, models are always commenting on how dead it is. I was shocked to have actually had a $135 day on there recently, and that was after having spent like 8 or 9 hours total logged in.

I think it's a good site to use for splitcamming with another site. I'd say splitcam it with AdultWork or Streamate, although AdultWork can also be really dead at times too. Splitcamming ImLive with Streamate should be good. I probably won't be able to do that with ManyCam, because I'm already having lag issues as it is, using ImLive and AdultWork with ManyCam.

Now maybe by the end of this month or December, I'll be able to come back on here and post better results, if I start using that mailing list feature more, as well as other features. If I could just get this splitcamming thing to work out right without lag issues, I'd do better. When my son leaves on the bus for school, that gives me almost SEVEN HOURS to myself to work at home. I'd hate to only do 3 hours on ImLive (9 am - 12 pm) and 4 hours on another site, because I could be missing out of earnings from the 12 pm - 3:30 pm time frame.

Hey girls, what happens after you do the required 120 hrs on free live cam on there? I'm almost there, and I'm just wondering what exactly changes?

So many questions for me to try and advise... okay here it goes
Chargebacks shouldnt be too big of a worry unless youre one of the top earners. We've not had many. If you do get one, even though theres a promotion, it can still go through when the promotion is over.
We don't do anything to avoid them... We have a list of "peepers" written down, which i should probably contribute. It gets longer everyday.

Doing FLVC is a very good idea as a new host, and sticking to the times you have set will help getting regulars easier. I'm not sure what happens after the 120 promo hours, apparently we recelty completed them though we were on for a year! It may help your rate options go up but if youre rated well that helps too.

3.80 is not too much. We wanted to go higher but we cant since some fuc*** rated us lower than we deserved, considering i told him we both had to pee. Dont mention reviews unless it was a good pvt.

Our traffic is best at night and in the evenings EST

Never had someone disappear completely from guest files but im guessing if there was credit card fraud involved they would delete him from the system? Dont wanna scare u though.

Good Luck!!!

After the 120 hours you don't have to do free live chat unless you want to do it, you can just set it to private and leave it online. Though to avoid chargebacks most of the time it is better to stay in free chat to stay in a promotion of no charge backs.

Also after the promotional period where you can raise your rates, if your streaming in HD and can raise them that high go for $3.80 and offer discount club, block sessions etc. Guys love that and HD, they will pay it. And even if you get the ones that pop in for like 2 minutes and back out, well if your really slow and teasing undressing you made a few bucks off of them and you barely got naked XD. Also, I always let as many into a private at a time as wants to come in, money is money and most of them want tits and ass, or a fetish, and if your in the middle of a fetish the guys will either watch out of curiosity or leave but hey an extra few dollars for the minute they were spying, and plus really picky fetish guys will pop in while your doing something else and normally say oh I'll come back later lol. Imlive has alot of fetish guys. XD can we say 1hour block session to try on bras? Score lol I love that guy when he randomly pops in XD

I don't know what the hell I did wrong this time, but the other day I was able to splitcam on ImLive and AdultWork, using the VerySoft WebcamSplitter (I paid $20 for it, so I'll be pissed if I can't continue using it), and it worked just fine. I tried it just now, and all of a sudden VerySoft won't show up in the webcam list on AW or on ImLive. So I just have to shut off VerySoft and just pick ONE site to cam on at a time...SMH. First it's the hassle with the SM HD Encoder, and now this.

BrownFox, did you work the issue out? :)
When you splitcam and get a private. Do you log off from the other site while in private in one site?

No, at this point, I feel like I've wasted $20 that could've gone towards food or something, and I don't understand the problem. The first time I tried VerySoft for ImLive and AdultWork, I liked it and it worked fine. Then the day I posted what happened on here, it wouldn't come up in AW and IL's webcam selection area.

hmmm, im not sure why it would quit working like that. On ImLive their settings are so strange - you have to go into the flash settings sometimes by right-clicking and also select under the video window on Device Settings in their software.

I've had some odd things with the adultwork software where I've had to reboot to get any cam at all to work. I have used manycam with both ImLive and Adultwork - maybe try that?

Do they let us open a brand new account if we close to old one? Or will they just reopen the old one? I wanna get rid of my account and start a new one there.

Edit: Nvm the HD part I figured it out already.

Yeah, ManyCam is what I've been using before. I actually had to go ahead and just redownload it again to go back to splitcamming with it, since VerySoft wasn't working for me last time. So I've gone back to using ManyCam...sometimes it works fine, and other times there's a horrible delay in the ImLive free text chat when I'm typing to the guys on there. Maybe when I get a new laptop after the holidays, it will help solve some of these issues. My laptop is old.

I think you can open a new account without problems. I opened a couples account a year ago and i have a solo as well. RANT :I was just in the couples area and there are lesbians in the male/female category. They are nude too... i was wondering where all the traffic had gone. They dont seem to monitor it very well for nudity in free live chat. I wonder that they do with that 70% they take. Apparently not pay the workers to report hosts abandoning the rules lol END RANT

Ok...here I go spilling what I know...

I've been working on ImLive for 2.5 years. After losing a considerable amount of weight I stopped doing 'vanilla' BBW camming and went to BDSM/Fetish which followed suit after my active involvement in the local BDSM scene. If I've got the toys and equipment, why not show it off? This made my 'room' set up really easy.

Here are the pros and cons I've run into being a host/model on ImLive. You will notice some are catch-22's.

PROS:
-ImLive has a LOT of promotional resources available to models and a ton of information for how to increase your earnings if you are new. Everything from promo videos, up to about 200 snapshots/pictures, mailing lists, etc. There's a giant tab listing...well, lemme post what they have.
-There's a function called "Happy Hour" which serves as an inexpensive way for customers to see what kind of show you may offer in private but giving it to a broader audience. This can enhance your ratings/reviews and also expose you to potential regulars who enjoyed your happy hour performance. You can do this once a day I believe as long as your earnings are at least $20 for that day. There are also some other terms and conditions.
-Forum for models on the site to communicate with. This is a great function for models to talk to each other as it serves as assistance and borderline gossip but in a helpful way. As in, "So and so won't do privates, don't believe him", "this user does cb's", etc. There are a lot of encouraging and supportive models on the site and very little drama between models. I've not seen any since being on the site.
-From a personal advantage, being an American with audio and English as a first language, has, in itself, gotten me shows. I've even gotten shows that were just chatting because of that alone. Granted it's about latex and rubber, very little of what I do is blatantly sexual and I'm able to get away with the 3.80/min charge.
-ImLive does allow models to have discount codes offering .20 and .40/credits off the minute or discount clubs that range in benefits depending on the level of the customer. When I used to work late nights I'd encourage customers to get shows earlier on by offering a discount code to those who went before midnight. This was really my way of being able to go to bed earlier but you can make it work however you'd like.
-ImLive isn't just fetish friendly, it's fetish central. Even in the just Girl Alone category most models at least offer some kinks/fetishes of some sort or are open to it. These customers will also pay good money for it as well.
-There is an option (once you've done the set 120 hrs) to do or not do free live video chat. I offer it because I don't mind and if someone tries getting freebies I just boot them. It's my personality that sells and letting customers see that helps me so I keep it on a lot. It also boosts me up on the list of available models.
-Recorded Live Sessions: You have the ability as a host to record parts of your private shows and sell them. This feature is awesome. I do a lot of humiliation and blackmail role playing shows and records bits of it and my regulars eat this up. What's nice is my live rate is only 3.80, my video rate, 5.80. For some reason, they want the recorded bits. I don't complain.
-24/7 Customer Support both online and phone. If you have an issue, you can call them. Now, most of the time I've called them, I've been unable to understand the other person due to a heavy Russian accent. I will go more into this later.

Now...the Cons
CONS:
-As of recently, ImLive has made severe changes to the site adding new features. It seems that when this happened, technical issues flooded the site left and right not only affecting hosts but also customers sending a lot of their paying traffic packing. A lot of women who were making bank before have had to work twice as hard to make the same amount. My hustle has increased as well and really, what's saved me is these hour long chat shows I keep getting. That and selling my recorded live sessions. Hosts have made it VERY clear to customer service that we are practically enraged nothing is being done. CS seems apathetic and I have a theory on that.
-The customer support is sub par and most of the time, absolutely blows. I've been on the phone with more rude women who appeared to be reading a script than anyone who really wanted to help me. Considering I make things clear and come with legit problems trying to help the site, I've been met with some completely bitchy customer support. I'd rather ask other models on the forums.
-I've only had two CB's ever on the site but apparently chargebacks are rampant. You have to be very wary of low status members getting long shows. I only accept long shows from silver, gold, or VIP. Use the same caution if you get a first timer. '
-Beggars, moochers, and room-sitters love this site. they love hanging out on it and trying to be your friend. I've just had to tell non-paying members that if they want to stay in my room, they need to pay rent. Guys will come back repeatedly and think I'll have changed my mind. Instant ban.
-The earning percentage is low at 30% and 35% for Hall of Fame (top 120 earners during a pay period) hosts on the site. This seems like it's simply keeping the top at the top and not helping those who are trying to do their best. In order to make HOF you need to net a minimum of $1200-$1400 a pay period. I try for $100 a day and recently this has been really hard but I used to net that in about 4 hours tops. Now....hahah.
-There are a TON of (physical) studio models and girls who charge low rates making it harder for others who will not dip to 1.98/min or break the rules to be nude in free chat. Daily I catch this happening and it doesn't seem to be particularly enforced. I understand that this is a different sort of job for them but the fetish section is flooded with models who have a copy/pasted bio from a Pro English Mistresses site in their bio and thus, don't deliver what they claim making it harder for models like me to deliver something more authentic.

Here's something to chew on. I'll add more later.
Overall, I've made the site work for me because of filling a niche that had an empty spot. If you are American/English fluent, use your audio, and specialize in a few fetishes, you will do really well. But, if that's the case, start off somewhere that has a tech/support team that cares about their site and actually takes accountability and corrects their issues. I will continue there for a bit as I've worked long enough to have established regulars but for others, it may be more frustrating than rewarding.

Imlive is going thru some crazy times since they changed the interface and their servers. Im confident that they will work on trying to get their traffic back , and on stopping the free shows spree.
And about chargebacks you cant really avoid those. I had chargebacks from gold members also, and not a little. Chargebacks not refund ( when u get a member asking for refund , you are going to receive an email from cs asking for an explanation on what happened in that private ).

There are apparently girls on the site (usually foreign studio girls) who will get nude in free chat and give a lot of guests the idea that this is allowed to happen. It pisses off the other models by reading about it in the forum.

There are nights where I do REALLY well and will get a guy who will just sit in private and talk to me because they are 'fascinated'. That's what keeps me on the site. If I didn't have health issues, hall of fame would be easy for me to get but there are days at a time that I cannot cam.

I just hate dealing with customer service. They do not seem friendly or approachable and this is from dealing with them on the phone. Getting things changed around is a pain in the ass.

The thing that irritates me is it seems like the site doesn't appreciate it's hardest workers. There are a few girls in fetish who actually make that section worth being there and it seems like we aren't given any sort of bonuses by the site for what we do. I mean, I could take ALL my traffic elsewhere (some have already due to frustrations with the site) and tell imlive to eat my feet. Through the rough tech issues it seemed like support didn't give a rat's ass about how angry their top models were, the girls that keep that site going and provide better shows than the majority of the hosts on there which are studio girls on 5 sites at a time who don't even pay attention. Shit, most of my shows I get simply because I'm actually talking to people. It seems like it's getting harder and harder to get bonuses there and for me to rack up on the site I have to be logged in pretty much all day sitting in private only which I'm not always able to do. That will make the transition easier though.

Yea Vogue, Ive gotten CBs from two VIP members. It isnt just the person refusing to pay it, a lot of CBs are... well a bunch of things because their processor isnt topnotch. I have conspiracy theories but the processor is easiest to focus on: billing processors isnt where you cut corners and they definitely do. Unfortunately there is a reason ImLive tends to be the site posted the most on crackcode forums.

On nudity in free: ImLive's main white labels (that uhhhh Kings one and Sexier) allow for nudity in freechat. Sometimes the people who are nude in free on ImLive are actually naked on the primary site theyre streaming from like Sexier. People get pissed off and ImLive commits to cracking down on it but wont address its other site's rules and cross-streaming at the same time.

Hilariously, if you are an affiliate for ImLive or any of its other products (PussyCash) they treat you like a King, same if you're a customer. There is a huge gulf of difference between correspondence between ImLive and PussyCash, and my earnings per month for both are now about equal yet the treatment is completely different. ImLive's customer service is easily the worst Ive ever dealt with. Like, hands down.

Ugh Ive ranted about ImLive for... forever. aaaaaaand Im still on it :O e-Stockholm Syndrome? lol. Fuck my fucking ambivalence for this site.

ImLive's customer service is easily the worst Ive ever dealt with. Like, hands down.

Congrats on the aff earnings! Also, I'm not in the least bit surprised in the difference between attitudes towards webmasters and performers, kind of the exact thing I would expect from them. I try not to think about that, lol!

They have this link in the performer section and if you get someone to sign up through the link they provide in the models' section you will get 60% of what they spend on you, but wait there's more! ...whoops sorry, that's it actually, there's nothing more just extra 30% they spend on you and ZERO commission of what they spend on other models. (Do I sound bitter, lol)

Obv. there are different ways of payment webmasters can choose either revshare or a larger one time payment per sign-up. Idk what are the opinions among webmasters but personally I would be inclined to go for the revshare option of a lifetime commission on ALL MONEY they spend. So basically they are screwing models out of half of the deal they offer the webmasters.

Sorry, I'm ranting. And I actually have a question: how is it possible to generate links to specific performer profiles in PussyCash?

For some reason I actually have a profile there and I scoured all the menu items and all I saw was different ways of dressing up generic links that go only to the categories. But I googled my sn + imlive and some webmasters have a link specifically to my profile?

And if I am indeed correct it's probably not advisable for anyone to use that models' section link - if you will go through with promoting it you could just as well get a PussyCash account and not let them screw you out of potential affiliate money.

12-30-2012, 08:37 PM
^Good point about just using PussyCash to promote yourself, never tried that but Im certain it can be done since like you saw affiliates promote individual performers all the time - so why not esp since the payout is much larger. PussyCash does have CBs and doesnt have the best reputation though (their forums arent super active and they censor it like they do ImLive's) so I dont happily and openly recommend it either since Ive seen great success stories and omfg pussycash screwed me over stories (I had a few incidents with them, both resulted in loses but it was resolved by CS), but with less apprehension as I would ImLive. Not sure if that makes sense.

Great idea!

I mean, if I didn't already have good following and a plan, I'd be out now. I've never felt that unappreciated. Plus I go out of my way to recommend guys use webcamking to get cheaper credits or w/e.

For the pussy cash thing, they catch on if you use it for yourself. A friend of mine did that and racked up over $2,000 in commission. Smart girl but you can't do it anymore. >.<

PussyCash does have CBs


you can't do it anymore.

That sounds crazy. The kind of thing you could expect from IL, I guess...

Full disclosure: up to this point I have made exactly $0.00 in any kind of referral/affiliate money but I have this blog that I'm surprisingly even updating and who knows I *might* land some conversions. And IL's snapshot feature is really good for pulling snapshots to post on blog, if not for their stupid watermark - pretty much the only reason I didn't link them to cammodels up till now.

I guess from now on 'tis cropping off their stupid watermark and linking them to cammodels :D

Besides I view an SM dollar as more valuable than an IL dollar (with unpredictability of CB's and all that) and SM takes priority for me so why would I want to dilute my promotion of cammodels link with IL's. I guess you could say fewer guys might have a profile on IL than on SM and non-IL SM guys could become members on IL. But in my experience, I've had at least three guys have the same sn on both sites, kind of - if they're into webcam models - they're all in with profiles on all sites. You can kind of get them to convert only once...?

Ugh! This is exactly the reason why don't do all that marketing/promo shi-. Takes up too much processing power in my brain. Cammodels it is. :)

I actually got into a tiff with an imlive cs rep on the phone.
I had posted in the imlive tips (host to host) forum and pretty much stated how I felt imlive wasn't following through and I felt unappreciated and commented on their lack of follow through. It wasn't a blatant diss but it was pretty assertive. I get it removed and in place of it is a message written by cs stating that my "tone wasn't appreciated" along with some other insane nonsense.

Excuse me? My tone? WHAT?

I was livid. If there was really some sort of stick up their butt they could have deleted it and written to me personally as to why but instead they chastised me like a child for voicing how I felt they were unprofessional and my hard work for the site wasn't appreciated as it feels like a quantity over quality thing. I was floored they responded in such a way (wait, was I really?) and called customer support. I told them I felt the manner in which they handled it was not appropriate, rude, and felt as if I was being scolded. The woman who gave zero shits about me, the situation, and her job proceeded to just recite some b.s. off a cue card about how it's cs's job to monitor the boards, etc etc and everytime I called out a point she just repeated it.

I told them to remove it as I found their response offensive personally. Don't remember if they did but it's pretty much understood now that if cs doesn't like your opinion, they delete your post and tell you it's inappropriate to basically have any sort of feelings above imlive that are unsavory.

But yes, phone support, absolute nightmare. The women are not friendly, don't give a shit, and could care less if you are really helped. They just want you off the phone. Best time is to call during the afternoon US time.

Well CS in Imlive is another story , i used to get mad also and than i realized that getting mad will just ruin my day . Now i will rather reinstall my pc and spend a day or two figuring out what is wrong before i even consider calling CS in my room .
But im quite good with computers , thanks to imlive :>
Also writing in the forums is : yell out your problems and when ur done with that solve them by yourself . You are not going to get much help and you cant talk free either .
And about their referrals program , well i have bitten the dust before so you better just create an affiliate account .Easier , faster , better, and avoid ruining your day .

What do you mean ? If you're an Imlive affiliate you can promote any profile but your own ? Or did I miss something ?

She was getting friends to sign up under her affiliate link and it would give her some crazy bonus and she'd give them their money back and then some off the bonus. They'd only get the one show or whatever and she did this with multiple people. ImLive caught on eventually because the last thing that site likes is people aside from them making money...and/or outsmarting them.

Fuckers...I'll explain why I hate them below.

^ Ahhhh , yeah , But any affiliate company would ban you for doing this ... Most state in their TOS that incentive driven sign ups ( ie paying someone to join up ) are against the rules .... Genuinely promoting your own profile however , that's completely within the rules. What your friend did , was cheat :D

I really like the ImLive forums, even though I don't read/post there as often as I used to. CS there is very strict, and you're not allowed to mention your earnings (like even if you just said "Yay! I made $100 today!," it's not allowed) or use profanity. I've been suspended from the forum in the past for using profanity, and I can't even remember what I said. I was probably venting about some customer and used the word 'asshole' or 'fuck' or something. Kinda strange that on an ADULT SEX SITE, we're not even allowed to use profanity when we're venting to each other, but whatever...lol.

I been suspended 3 days from working just by making comments in forums, u cant speak freely on that site, they censor models soo much, i hate them and the way forums are driven, i hate how some models kiss CS ass in there and brag about how great their traffic is, on the other hand negative comments are wiped out constantly. Not working there lately cause in december i got a $55 chargeback even they promoted No Chargebacks this whole month!! or so. Whatever!

Don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread already - I haven't read over the whole thing , but they claim to pay us 35% ( I'm a veteran ) , yet UK guys pay £1 per credit , of which we are paid 35% of 1$ per credit ... which really means if you have a UK guy in your room , you're paid less than 15% , depending on exchange rate... Of course if you bring this up in the forums there, you're banned :)

I've always had great experience with their CS over the phone. I suppose it's because I always compliment them on their British accents? LOL. My issue is that I'm looking really slow and lagging horribly in chat and the guys are telling me this. I def missed a show as the guy told me "it's too bad you're really laggy..." I thanked him for telling me and asked that he check back at another time. I'm find on SM, fine on yahoo/skype/JCI but as soon as I go online on IML I'm laggy as fuck. I even turned off the HD and was slow. :( It's def not my super fast internet or my brand new crisp and HD logitech cam that's for sure.

The hot spot feature really helps, it puts you on every page. Happy hour helps, get in on the weekend parties, and dont give too much away in freechat! Yes, I enjoy the no cb thing, its nice not paniking on pay day.

Any recent information / updates on this site please? What I've read so far is not making me want to cam on it at all.

They are figuring out things just like all the other sites. what baffles me is that they don't offer check in the mail at all anymore.

other companies are able to offer check in the mail, but imlive is the only one that is all about "E-wallet" payments.

So I had to re-list the sites I split and imlive got moved to the bottom based on their recent payment methods. ifriends got bumped above them.

Ive signed up via Daily Pay so that doesn't really worry me. The chargeback thing is a worry though ive asked the group if they cover for this as they do on some of their other sites, heres hoping. Ifriends I was also going to check out.

You know what, Imlive was my top secret money making site for years! I started working on sm, mfc, cb, all the tipping based sites...and I'm oldskool so I just don't have that tipping based site hustle. I recently signed up with imlive again (my hayday on the site was between 2008ish-2012) and have had a great experience! The site has really cool features that sites like sm and mfc simply dont. I mean its great that SM finally came up with a video store, but it is too little too late, and you cannot record the videos on site, cannot record sessions and resell them, it is just a pain in the ass. I am on a mission to #makeimlivegreatagain

In my hayday I was a top performer on IML and received several awards. My pre recorded shows were making me bank offline!

I always loved this site! I love the fact that you can set your room to pvt after the initial required free chat period is up. It is a great side site if you are working on another site like SM. I find imlive makes me more money than live chat/tipping based sites.

I wish there were more sites like IMLIVE rather than each new site that comes out being a tipping based site like mfc. Imlive is full of whales once you are established. All of my pvt shows average over 15 minutes at a time. To avoid hefty chargebacks, do not allow anyone to stay in your room longer than about 30 minutes until you have seen the customer will not do a cb or hasn't hacked the system. This is how I have avoided hundreds in chargebacks. It sucks to cut sessions short, but if you stay in a chat for longer than an hour and it is a cb, then you are out of time and money that you could have been doing shows that you will get paid for. I hate that pvt based sites have become a thing of the past, but I am very certain that now adult industry is being scrutinized more, that more regulations will pass when it comes to tipping based sites.

MFC and CB cover their asses stating that explicit content is not allowed in free chat, but the sites do not reprimand models who break the rules. Eventually, tipping based sites will have to police their own sites better because our industry is already under enough scrutiny. When this day comes, the clientele on these sites will be pissed that models can no longer do certain things in free chat and this business model is not sustainable due to this. This is just my humble opinion, but our industry has been under attack and it is only getting worse. It is time for all of us to step up and keep our privates in private! I am by no means hating on those who work on tipping based sites, but if these sites continue as-is...it will draw unnecessary attention from the powers that be.

Bumping this:

I am looking for another site like CamContacts since I got removed for being an American and I would love to stay in the friends plus romance section. I was in this type of section at Cam Contacts. Just was wondering if this section is an steady money maker for anyone?:)

I am with ya on making imlivegreatagain. For me because I work 5 cam sites total plus niteflirt. my way of handling the blow of chargebacks is to make extra income. when you have enough income from camming, you don't fret over the chargebacks.

Plus I gotta worry about what fees checking cashing places will be taking, or a wire fee will take, or whatever e-wallet fee will take. So it's say to handle about $100 to $150 to handle cash backs. back when they were around camz now i think they are rude forgot a lot of companies change hands. rename themselves or become white labels of other websites.

They wouldn't pay you until you made $300 and $150 of that was to cover chargebacks.

the business of online in adult is chargebacks , you just have to make your cushion and roll with it.

I just joined this site, and it is confusing, and like ifriends - it's just so old looking that even though there seem to be a ton of fun features, it kind of looks like my computer threw up all over my screen.

Any advice on a few basics to start with on here?

Also the whole 'bronze' member thing is confusing too - I've had a few bronze guys take me in what appears to be private chat, but it's just been a regular chat session and they didn't even want a "show" per se. I wasn't even sure if I was being paid for this but I checked after and it said I was paid. Is that just part of this particular community? Also I kinda don't like that a few of them are going back and forth with me w/endless messages and then they never pay anyway... lol

I just discovered theres a way in chat room settings, to change the background color of the screen that we look at.
