Has anyone ever scrolled down to the "free chat" section of the chat windows and opened it to see what the fuckwads are saying? Show pussy bb. If u take off top I join show. Can I see ass bb?

When I did, I lol'd for ten thousand years. It is hilarious to me that the guys who can't even be assed to register a cc think that I'll open up the free chat section and do what they say on the side chance they'll go register a card and pay four bucks with five minutes left on my countdown.

^^Thanks!! I had no problem with online ranking, but offline was confusing as fuck to me. I eventually found myself, and then was sad that I was on like page 20 offline. But also, there are so many people that I have no idea what that means in context lmao. I feel good about my online ranking so I'm not worried :)

Does anyone know if there's like a video tutorial for the broadcasting setup? Not like the actual setup, but just understanding how each of the chats works.
I was only on for 5 minutes a few weeks ago, and I don't even realize when there's supposed to be a paid chat or whatnot... I'm just worried I'll be tricked thinking I'm in a private and end up showing everything to free chat or something. I already had my bad first experience with MFC... Just want to have a better run on SM.

Watching these videos might help you... I don't know if it's specifically what you are looking for but there are a few that show the chat room interface and give you a feel for what it's like to be broadcasting.

Thanks Thymian! I just got done broadcasting for about an hour total... no privates. Got a dollar tip haha.

Someone told me that my "rates are high. I can't afford you, but you're worth it". I don't know if that means I should lower them or not? I mean...
I wanted at least one private tonight... I saw a bunch of other girls getting privates as being new models (yes, I'm stalking other girls) lol.

What could I be doing wrong? My rates are 6.99/5.99.
I smile a lot and tease a bit. I had 2 guys stay in the guest chat the whole time I was online and we were just talking about random stuff.
So IDK... Must be my rates...

maybe ur pvt is higher then exclusive maybe theyre just not looking maybe lower each a dollar and see if it helps do u not want pvt ? would u rather do exl only and do 1-1 ?

Sonikku
09-29-2013, 04:38 PM
Yeah, I'd rather do exclusive. I read that guys will try to peep in the show since they get the first 29 or 30 seconds free... Is that true?

Nocturnelle
09-29-2013, 04:44 PM
Yep. I hate private chat, actually may reverse my rates to make exclusive lower. Sometimes dudes get pissy if they stay in for 31 seconds and rate you 1 star because of it. Eff that.

Sonikku
09-29-2013, 04:47 PM
Really? That's so dumb...
Maybe I should try that... After I figure out my new goals at lower rates.
But just how hard is it to raise your rates once you go lower?

u do get some ppl that do that but ive had guys pop in then take me pvt after i got out i had one guy come in into my pvt and was all like why arent u doing this or that and i told this is so and sos pvt not urs he leaves the pvt i see him back in free we exchange a few lines he takes me pvt and he got to direct the show. try and see what works for u but until u do i think its a bad move to start off doing exclusive only because there have been times ive gotten 2-3 ppl to stay at a time. and how u bring ur hourly rate up its a lot harder to have a 100$ hour average just doing exclusives then opening up and letting ppl join in. if u can hustle it right u wont have to be in free chat because ppl will just keep comming in and staying in pvt and that does wonders for ur paid show time percentage witch is a huge factor in ur placement

uve been on the site a few days only u dont have a lot of ppl who have seen you and know what ur rates are like lowering them a little bit untill u can get a fanbase going and enuf to raise them up again isnt going to hurt u . its only an issue if uve been on there for awhile enuf to become a familiar face and mess ur rates like its an A/C

Sonikku
09-29-2013, 04:59 PM
Snowy!!! You are so helpful. I've read a lot of your posts before actually joining, randomly.

What do you think I should set my prem and exclu. rates to? And how should I go about increasing them (like, by increments and when the time is right)?
I'll probably try this again later tonight with new rates.

Snowy0Star
09-29-2013, 05:03 PM
3.99 or 4.99 or 5.99 for premium and set ur exclusive 1-2 more then that id try 4.99 first tho. ur new so dont be scared to play with ur rates until u've found your sweet spot but dont go lower then 3.99.

Sonikku
09-29-2013, 05:08 PM
Okay! I'll try one of those, and then see how this works later tonight (If I'm alert/awake enough).
Thanks again!
I'll let you know if I see any difference from this.

It was funny earlier... I was actually speaking to everyone that came in my room... And it was like, once I said "hello ____" to them, they would leave.
So I /ragequit out of frustration, took a breather, came back and when people started talking to me, I would TYPE instead of speak.
People actually stayed and chatted that time.

I know my voice is just... gawd awful, but dayum, you ain't gotta rush out when you hear my squeaky voice!! D;

@Sonnikku I definitely had lower rates when I was brand new, I think they were like 2.99 and 3.99, then 3.99 and 4.99. My private is higher than my exclusive, the people coming and going throw me and I perform better with either a set time limit or a set guy (ie goldshows or exclusives). I'd rather do gs than premiums. But I know you don't have that option yet. Just play around, and don't compromise what you will or won't do. If I could go back in time I'd beat myself upside the head for what I allowed when I was brand new.

Sonikku

Hmm. Thanks for the tip rachel, I can't even remember what it takes to get gold shows, but yeah, a few guys were asking me if I had gold shows actually. Do those make more money over time than privates?

SoloDesire

Just be careful pricing your privates higher than exclusive. Some guys only have the option of privates if they're new or haven't spent much money on the site yet. I get a lot of guys who tell me they dont have the option of exclusive so they take me private instead. If the price is too high you may lose these customers.

guys can still stay in exclusive for less than 30 seconds and not be charged and exclusive clears out your room. I just try to not care about the peepers and remember their names and block them later if I can. I have my excl. jacked up because I often get more than one person in pvt and with excl. you can only have one obviously. Once I got over hating the peepers I started to really be ok with pvt over excl. because having multiple guys is definitely more lucrative and not having your room cleared when you have good traffic is imporant too.

Sonikku
09-29-2013, 05:31 PM
I guess you're right about that.
I was just unsure because I wasn't reading too much about girls having multiple guys in private. I thought most girls just got exclusives.

They just gave them to me? I mean, I was running the encoder, had high % in paid, good ratings, etc, but I didn't do anything different or request. They just...gave it to me. I feel guilty admitting that, since I know a lot of people want them and didn't get them for a month or way more. Not sure this is relevant to everything, but I also always go in party, not classic chat. I like getting a conversation going with the room. As far as more money, I was never great at holding a private together for awhile with multiple guys, and the fact that they're paying by minute weighs on them. If I didn't do gold shows, I'd probably bank more, but the gold shows allow me a rest in between and to drum up exclusives (especially if I can say, you're third in line, or such-and-such gets first exclusive after the show. It makes them think I'm worth more, I think--although I know I'm worth waiting for :p). Plus I draw greater numbers to my room at a time. I know when I putz around on sm I go to gold show rooms. Gets a free sample of the girl's personality and what she looks at without fear of someone snapping her away too fast.

Well, hopefully I'll get the ability to do gold shows soon.

I've only raised my rates to 2.49/3.49 but the whole site seems dead now. I can't get my private chat % above 15-20% and it seems hopeless when I'm surrounded by 1.99 girls.

no party chat is another free chat mode. you select it before u go live boadcast interface right under ur thumbnail theres a thing that says chat mode and a drop menu theres two options classic and party chat

In classic chat guys can't see how many people are in your room or what they're saying. It's essentially one-on-one on their end. In party chat they can see the number of people in your room and what they're saying to you. Classic chat: Less hospitable to trolls (they usually want to embarrass you in front of an audience), guys can't gang up on you, when your room is slow or boring you can fake conversations or traffic to seem more popular. Party chat: You can start gold shows (you can only do this in party chat), guys can talk to each other, you get a little caption on your picture that says "party" that some prefer.

It was only that low for a day or two so I don't have a really good picture, but they were the only time I had a private rate above 50%. I don't want to lower rates though, this is barely worth it even at 2.49.

Snowy, at your current rates (answer if you exclusive is higher than premium), what do you think the percentage of your premiums are and the percentage of your exclusives are? (Like 60% to 40%). I'm just talking about these two, not like extra tips, party chat or gold shows.

Just be careful pricing your privates higher than exclusive. Some guys only have the option of privates if they're new or haven't spent much money on the site yet. I get a lot of guys who tell me they dont have the option of exclusive so they take me private instead. If the price is too high you may lose these customers.

I have had that happen many times. Many of them don't even know exclusive exists until after they take someone private first.

Yeah I've been playing with my header to try to draw more people in. I think my complaining helped things because I got a few privates, and was able to fund my first gold show attempt on my first try :)

I average in at pvts at about 40%. I don't mind since I make good $$$. I honestly don't care if the number is below 50%.
