I cosigned. If you are a fetish/niche you don't need regulars!

I do agree regulars are important but they definitely do have shelf lives. They typically don't last forever. I think it's more important to have regulars if you don't have good placement on the site.
If you are on the first page you can get a lot of traffic and money from new guys or guys who see you once or twice and disappear forever. Most of my money comes from non-regulars. I MIGHT see one or two regulars per night, some nights I don't get any regulars coming in.
Honestly, I think it's just a matter of appealing to a large audience, unless you are super fetish/niche specific. You have to be someone that a lot of average guys are attracted to. I have found that that "someone" is either supermodel hot with fake tits and blonde hair, or the girl next door. The girl next door wins, seriously. But unfortunately not everyone fits into that large audience appeal.

any site to suggest to a new girl
^^If you haven't already, I would suggest you sign up for several more sites. When SM goes bad you may find another takes up the slack and your average improves.

So, I was poking around on SM last night and got disgusted with what I saw and not by the amount of freaking pussy in free chat (there was tons). How do girls have pictures up with kids in them? It made me so angry. Like girls will be on the beach or something and there will be children in the background, but you can obviously see their faces. Don't all these pics have to be approved?

I do have a lot of loyal regulars, but I also get a lot of new guys all the time. I think regulars are important but not necessary. I think regulars are only necessary if you have a VERY specific niche or low placement.
One question, can you be vanilla an fetish at the same time in SM? I enjoy far more the fetish shows but i get more vanilla...

I think i need to learn how to treat the once with fetishes in free chat, coz usually run away hah

I type to the guys with super specific fetishes in free chat. Otherwise it'll scare everyone off, lol. I just have such a broad range of customers (which I like).
Yeah, I do that too. But seriously, i don't know what I do wrong lol

any site to suggest to a new girl
I use AW and Charturbate alongside SM and my regular Asian site. It's a bit tricky splitting with a token site (Chaturbate), but it can work out ok on some nights. AW is very easy to split with as you can stay in "waiting for private or group" and not free chat. Cams.com (Streamray) may have some potential but I haven't given it enough time yet to tell. I can't sign up with ImLive, but that could be ok to split with too - maybe some other ladies could chime in there.

Someone is attacking me via tags on sm. Yesterday was my days off yet I logged in this morning, to find fresh negative tags on my account.
I really shouldn't have to check my account everyday for damage control, I wish I could know and bar whoever is targeting me.

It always astounds me when people go on massive nasty tagging campaigns. They must really have a vendetta because a member can only give 1 girl a max of 5 tags, so they must need to start a whole new account!

i wish tagging was optional to have as part of ur profile i really dont like it - it kinda reminds me of those slam books that were popular in the earlys 2000s late 90's

We should have to manually approve our tags TBH lol. Or maybe we should be the ones who get to tag ourselfs. Like just turn our entire profile into tags separated by commas, and then let guys "thumbs up" the accurate ones or something.

Yeah this person is obsessed they left a few more horrendous tags tonight (that's twice in a day) and again I haven't been streaming.
I contacted support, this person is either a psycho troll or another model trying to sabotage me. It's been going on for about three days or so.

The good thing is, they are going to run out of bad things to say and once you hide all the bad tags, they never show up again! :) You can get tagged "bitch" 500 times but if you have it hidden, it will never show, know what I mean?

04-16-2014, 05:24 PM
That has to be some sort of glitch. I know that guys can choose to have alerts go to their phone to let them know that a specific camgirl has logged on but even if he had that for you how could he get in your room so quickly every single time for 5 days in a row? I mean I know some guys are psycho and literally sit on their computers non-stop but still they're not robots and you would think that something would cause him to log off early or late at least once. Can you try to log in and broadcast in a different browser just to see if it still happens?its creepy,uncomfortable.i do not have any idea how he does.i did kick,turn off and back again,and nothing works.tks.

Sadly, it is only if the word is an exact match.....as shown by the following of my blocked tags below. LOL!
- bitch
- bitchy attitude
- expensive bitch
- psychobitch
- snotty bitch
I do like if you block an exact match tag once that you never get that tag again though. :)

its creepy,uncomfortable.i do not have any idea how he does.i did kick,turn off and back again,and nothing works.tks.
Simple solution? Turn off free chat. Yeah, I get less traffic, but I've never once had a guy who was in free chat turn into a paying customer. After you click the 'Start My Show' button but before you start streaming, there's a tab with settings. Go there and find the drop down for 'Allow Free Chat' or something like that, and select 'No.' Free chat is for accounts with no credit card while guest chat is for those that have a credit card attached to their account. So far as I see it, guests have the potential to pay for shows. Free guys are freeloaders who want a free show and tits/ass/etc for some other guy tipping, so I just kick their asses right on out by blocking that option.
If the guy makes an account and comes back under guest chat? Good news because you can straight ban his account since he's a registered member. Woohoo!

I have a question about block sessions if I may....
I've just had it enabled and was wondering about how it works. Specifically:
1. What happens if I'm disconnected at my end in the middle of a block session and I cannot reconnect?
2. What happens if the customer intentionally leaves early?
3. What happens if he is disconnected at his end?
RedAlice
04-17-2014, 04:42 AM
1. If the disconnection is on your end, you've got a 2 hour window to resume & complete the show, or else you won't be paid.
2 & 3. If the disconnection is at his end, or he intentionally leaves early, there's 2 hour window to continue but you WILL be paid.
tropo
04-17-2014, 04:49 AM
^thank you.
If the show restarts within the 2 hours window, does the timer automatically continue from where it left off? Is there a timer visible from my end?
If he leaves early, do I need to wait 2 hours before I see the earnings on my sales list? If the show is completed, do the earnings show immediately as they do on a regular private?
Vlodina
04-17-2014, 04:57 AM
When the show resumes, you'll get the pop up asking you to accept and it will tell you exactly how many minutes are left. Of course, during any block session you and the member will get warning messages at 5 minutes left, one minute left, and when the time is over (then can stay longer, at the discounted price).
As for your second question, I think it shows immediately, even if it's not all used up, but I'm not going to swear on it.

I do both also..I end up doing more of the fetish /niche though. Yestearday I worked 2.5 hours and didn't use a toy in my snatch once and still averaged $55 per hour. I do not want to appeal to the cheap aggressive jerks that want me to degrade myself....although when they hear that I do fetish, they assume that means I'll stick my heel in my pussy. I tell them no...so I lost a show, big deal, not worth tearing up my pussy for a few bucks.

I hear that! Rarely do I use toys in a show. And when i do they are very small. I miss out on shows because I don't do anal or use big toys but oh well. It's not comfortable for me therefore it's not worth it.

If you turn Free Chat on again after disabling it for a while, he can come back anytime. I recommend you keep it disabled if you don't want to see him returning.
Is he being abusive and rude, or just watching for free?

Also want to point out, if they stay LESS than 3 minutes, they are NOT charged the full block amount, they are only charged the time they are in there but they still get the discounted price!
So don't show anything until 3 minutes has passed during a block show. :)
