For all of you girls on CMB: I just got off the phone with them and they are STILL backlogged processing payments from Christmas Eve. They are closed on New Year's Eve as well as New Year's Day (or course the 1st, but the 31st is NOT a bank holiday?!). Just giving you all a heads up, my January rent payment is going to be late because *they* dropped the ball and I don't want to see anyone else go through this. You cannot rely on CMB processing your payments the next business day right now, customer support just confirmed it. Happy holidays and make that money- I just hope you all get access to it in a timely fashion >.<

That is one thing that really bugs me about them. The "daily" pay is not really daily and you can not count on it. I really should have just stayed with checks.

Awwww Yeaaaaaah I just got my CMB payment last night, my rent's gon' be early bb! Although this makes no sense, since Sunday is not a business day and they said they're closed today for NYE. Really hope y'all got your $ too!

Is it just me or has Naked slowed down considerably for the holidays? Was it like this last year, too? Last year SM was busier for me this time of year and even now MGF has picked up for me, it seems like only Naked has gotten worse. Is this normal or do I just suck?

I just signed up for Naked this week, and am waiting for them to officially activate my account. Hopefully by the time that's done, it'll pick up a bit? If not, I guess I'll stick with SM and MGF, but I really wanted a second big site to work on.

CourtneyRaine

^Honestly Darla, Naked is the only site with free chat I currently use but it is NOT enough to make a full time living. My expenses are low and I was able to get away with it in September/October when I first started but it seems there is an influx of new girls and not enough paying traffic to support it. I had to put in about 12 hours in free chat yesterday just to make $100. Naked is good if you're good at prolonging your private shows but I personally cannot continue with it as my only free chat site. I'm actually trying to get back on SM, I'm just being held up with some studio issues. Good luck but don't get your hopes up.

ETA: Is Naked.com really considered a "big site"? I would consider it mid-level at best, but maybe I'm wrong? Don't get me wrong, for all its flaws it is probably still the best site I've ever been on because I love the features and support, but I'd never even heard of it until I joined SW and did some digging around.

Hi Courtney, Happy New Year.

I have a question for you. Reading the posts above made me realize that the studio drama you refer to is something I need to worry about as well. I am following in your footsteps and leaving said studio (thank you for the encouragement, btw). I want to hear more about this if it's okay with you.

If you do not want to post here, you can PM me. Or if it's too awful to discuss, that's ok too, I understand.

I hope everyone is having a great week on the site. I will be back on naked tonight.

They seem to have way less traffic than most sites - for example i have almost exactly ten times as many guys who have added me to their favorites on SM than Naked.

I could never make a full time living there either, but it's okay for a secondary site to take a break from other places.

If there were more traffic (and if I could disable tht damn tip goal) I'd like it way better :)

Since they don't have a ban button except for studios couldn't you just open your own studio (this could also be an advantage tax wise as you could form a corporation) and then you'd have it? Obviously if you're not making too much money on this site it's not worth it but maybe for someone who wants to make this one of their main sites it could be worth it.

It did take forever to make $100 the other night on Naked. That's why it's one of the sites I work but I have to ban way too many people. You would probably have better luck if you're into doing free chat shows like MFC style. Even then most rooms start at $50 tip down which seems so low. Whenever a model has $100 or higher guys seem to not want to tip because they feel that will take too long. I've also seen models refresh the tip button several times after it gets full. Usually once tip goal is reached it puts the model at the top saying GOAL. The room gets filled up with all of the broke guys that start begging demanding and insulting the models. There are only a few models that have done porn or are from playboy live that start out with $300 tip down and can reach it within 4-6 hours. Still the benefit is no camscore drama.

Ohh and guys can pm with paying more to the site but you don't see any of that money. I wish I could find a way to disable it because the guys that pm are always broke, rude or looking for in person sex.

Just to add combining this site with the others I banked for the holidays but last year was so much easier and better. Free chat shows and MFC models signing up there has changed the way privates were the norm. I made more money in three days on AW, no free chat, lower holiday prices, and with my clothes 99% on than on naked dealing with beggars ,escort seekers and guys wanting me to rip my clothes off rushing me so they could get a 1 min private that is nude". I actually had a guy say " don't bullshit me I need you naked immediately-legs open etc. right when I hit private". I was like wtf? I already know he was trying to screen shot or record.

Naked has worked out well for me so far, but it has only been a couple of months. My avg hourly on Naked is better than my best hours were on SM, and it is much less physical strain (also, I never liked Gold Shows~always more trouble than they're worth for me).

I have always found the SM guys to be high maintenance, whereas Naked is more down & dirty and less "pay attention to me, I'm needy."

I think my personality/looks could be better suited for the Naked crowd than SM. I have a curvy build and I have never heard a fat insult or any negatives about my looks on Naked. Not one! It's interesting.....

I agree Naked is down and dirty. A little spit and drool hanging off your lips and the crowd goes wild. Personally I haven't added that to my repertoire at this time.

Ohh and curvier BBW builds are the rage there. I would never expect a guy to ever make negative comments about a woman's weigh because most of the men there are in the BHM range. That would be foolish for them to make a comment that could easily be returned back 10 fold. Still there are a few needy guys in there. The site's block feature only works as long as you don't go offline. Once you hit that green button that turns red, anyone you blocked when you log in is all there. I actually blocked the same broke guy that harasses me daily about 24 times in the same night. I didn't even wait for him to open his mouth. Once he showed up in the list I hit it like clockwork.

The cool thing it seems that the silence feature doesn't just keep them quiet but it actually kicks the completely out the room. Still that's tired having to kick the same people out. I started creating a list on notepad.

Are you guys aware that if you get fired or quit from naked it says in the contract that you cannot work on another cam site for 4 months after.. I verified this and she confirmed that yes that is what the termination clause is about.. Just sayin! ...I chose not to work there again because of that.

Marlene is out for the holidays, but I would be glad to explain it to you. That section basically means that, while you can leave at any given time from our site, we request that you do not work for any other cam site for a period of 4 months.

What about the studio girls ? there are many European and South American girls who broadcast simultaneously in 2 or 3 sites. I can't believe they have not realized about it.

haha Yes that explains a few things...thank you! :)

I noticed this and was thinking..."What's the point of the block button then?"...oh well. Usually after I silence them, they leave. Some come back and tip. I laughed last night when I asked the guy what he wanted to see for his tip. He couldn't answer b/c I silenced him earlier. Hilarious! (I'm so mean).

I am really so tired of how inconsistent Naked is. When I logged on this morning I made $30 in 30 minutes. Good, right? Well, not so good when I have made an additional $0 in the last two hours :(

i used to splitcam with naked's imodel software all the time with the streamate encoder. that worked fine with my setup. it might depend on if u have the type of computer to handle it tho and what splitcam software you are using and whatnot but honestly they knew i was splitcamming, and they never took any kind of actions against me. i haven't cammed on there in a while cuz the privates started dropping off for me and it became a waste of time so i started focusing on SM and am now making the same amount from one site than i was when i was splitcamming a bunch of sites all the time but it was good while it lasted. i am glad to have changed things around for the better now.

Yes, same here. I used to splitcam with two encoders running and it worked fine.

This totally sucks because now that they have changed it I will no longer be using the HD software. They do NOT have enough traffic for most hosts to just work their site.

They just are shooting themselves in the foot because higher earning models are not gonna put up with that and wlil just skip the HD or totally leave the site. Either improve traffic or change it back!

Just stupid.

Thought I'd ask in this thread since a lot of us who work on Naked sometimes get payment through the CMB card. I requested payment Monday night (well, it was actually Tuesday since it was a little after midnight) and here it is 4 Eastern time Wednesday and still no pay.

They have been late before but it's usually only weekends that I have this much delay. I really need to quit using their service but for the time being with me moving and everything I'm paying the $10 each time so that I can get paid faster. Anyone else have a pay delay this week? Thanks!

CourtneyRaine
01-09-2013, 02:02 PM
Yes Laurie, I requested payment last night and it still hasn't gotten to me. It used to get here, like 4 hours ago. They say it's next business day but sometimes I'll get it around midnight the next day, which is NOT next business day. Sometimes it's 2+ days.

You should try calling them, it's 1800-677-1483. I always talk to either Sandy or Violeta. Yes, I know their names because I have to call like every week to ask where my money is! According to Sandy they don't have a person to process payments full time so one of the managers ends up processing the requests late at night after they are done with all of their regular work. Thus, the late night payments on the next day. My guess is, if you cashed out late Monday the person might have already processed all of Monday's requests so yours would be lumped in with Tuesdays (like mine), which means we might gt paid around midnight tonight (Wednesday). But definitely call and make sure you're pending, CS can't always give you estimates as to when it will be processed but sometimes they can be helpful with that. Plus, think if more girls start calling and complaining about how their funds are arriving late they'll move their asses with hiring someone to do payment processing. You know, since they are a payment processor. What I novel idea :P

laurielegs
01-09-2013, 02:07 PM
Thanks so much Courtney! It helps to know I'm not the only one waiting. Mine is pending so at least I know it's in process, but like you said they can't tell me when.

It's frustrating because it seems to me $10 is a good chunk of money to pay each and every time and get such slow service. Not that much to pay at a time but over several months it adds up to a LOT.

CourtneyRaine
01-09-2013, 02:30 PM
That is EXACTLY what I told them! I am paying them $40-80 every month for next business day access to my funds. That's not exactly chump change, but I agree to it because of the convenience of next day processing. The problem comes in when my bills are late because CMB is late, so now not only am I paying CMB fees for a service they are not delivering on, but I am also stuck paying late fees on my bills due to CMB not living up to their promises, even though I am paying them well to. I told this to Violeta when I called time, right before the new year when she told me about the expected delays, and demanded to know if CMB was going to pay my $50 late rent fee???? I pretty much told her that if my money was not there on the next day I expected CMB to either A) pay the $50 late rent fee I would accrue, or B) Reimburse me $9.95 x 6= the number of times my money arrived late in the last two months. Don't you know I got my money the next business day, even though they were supposedly closed for NYE? They've told me so many times that they'll try to put a rush on it but they don't, I think if you really need your money they only way you get it is to make demands like I had to, which is so stupid. *sigh* I hope we get paid soon.

Also, does anyone know how to unblock someone? I accidentally silenced the wrong user by mistake and though hecan sit in my free chat and he spied on one of my privates last night, he can't chat. I'm not seeing where to unsilence him?

ConnyLove
01-09-2013, 03:14 PM
Courtney , if the guy takes you to private, he is able to chat. I think that I read in this thread that the silence option is just for the day session ... but I am not sure.

laurielegs
01-09-2013, 03:58 PM
Yes they can chat if they take you private. There is no way to unblock and unless they changed it the block lasts 30 days. It used to last only 24 hours.

Maybe if you really are wanting to unblock they can do it from their end, but I actually don't worry about blocking them because often they come to private when they discover they can't chat with me in free.

If it were up to me I'd disable the free chat anyway :)

I know ... more than 100 girls and just 3 or 4 in private at a time, and this week I have seen at least 15 new models. I used to love naked.com but they have lost a significant amount of paid traffic, even the top girls spend lot of time in free chat before someone send tips or take them pvt :O.

Do any of you girls try to bring in new guys to the site? I'm thinking about signing up for their affiliate program to get some more paying traffic my way but I've only done non-adult affiliate stuff so I wouldn't even know where to begin with that. It just sucks because I was on another site and made $6 my cut from a private show but when I did the math I would have made $15 if I would have done the exact same show on naked. I love the % too much to give up on them.

Also, has anyone ever won prize money from the top 100 weekend models? I have not, but I've only been on naked for 4 months. How much did you have to make in a week to place in the top 100? I'd like to make a serious go of placing this week but I'm not sure what I should set my goal at.

KarmaComa

Hey Courtney!!! You usually need $550-$600 to get one of the bottom $25 prizes. Although one week I won with a shitty $439

Thank you KarmaComa, I just have to say I checked out your room tonight and you are so freaking sweet, make that money honey!

So another question, I asked support but they didn't give me an exact answer. What is more important when it comes to placement: average hourly or total amount earned in a pay period? I always seem to be in the top 35-45% during the times when I am online, but I'm making it my mission to get to the top 20% of girls online and place there consistently. I'm wondering if my $0 hours are hurting me by bringing my average down? I like to stay online even during my slow times because you never know when you'll get a long private but I'm wondering if this is hurting my placement. Kinda like MFC's cam score. Or maybe I am just overthinking things :) I just had a kick ass night tonight and now I'm super motivated to make naked.com my bitch :P

laurielegs
01-28-2013, 10:02 PM
I'm not sure about placement. I seem to be in the same place no matter what - money, HD, non-HD software, nothing seems to change it.

I have a question - does anyone know what it does when you "silence/ban" a guy? I kn ow they can still take me private and often do, but does it kick them out of the room or just "silence" them so they can't talk?

seems to have changed from the way bans used to work there.

CourtneyRaine
01-28-2013, 10:06 PM
I silenced a guy yesterday and he was still able to stay in my room, he just couldn't type. I wish it kicked them because I hate that the rude ones can still enjoy watcing me but it seems they only get silenced, not booted.

KarmaComa
01-28-2013, 10:48 PM
I can answer some of this!

#1: The silence/ban is a bunch of malarkey. When you hit the button, the hombre is cast out of your room, (it usually takes him to the next model in the cue as if you were flipping through the pages) He can go back, but he can't type anything you can see. I love the thought of them typing into oblivion and not getting the satisfaction of a response from the model or anyone in the room. The only way you can permanently ban someone is to have your studio (or someone in tech) ban them but they MUST be in the room in order for it to happen. It sucks but I heard some buzz they are working on this because many models have asked for in that survey they did awhile back (the one that helped get us our wish lists on our profiles etc)

#2: There is no cam score so being online a lot / too little doesn't affect that. Things that impact your placement is favoriting (please note that favoriting cycles go every 90 days. This means a girl who has 11,000 favorites and disappears for 6 months can't come back and be at top of the favorite list) Sure, it sucks for the girl but for models who are busting their asses every day it bodes well. The Top Rated sort is based on a "score" of 1 to 5 that tech assesses every now and again. To get a 5 rating, you must be broadcasting in HD, have a high quality cam, be interacting with customers, obey the tipping parameters that Naked has set up (this isn't good for models who don't get into the tip goal thing), and you MUST do some nudity in free chat too. I also heard a rumor that if your profile picture has nudity in it, it will place you higher. This is hearsay but it can't hurt to test this theory out. Naked.com's wiki page has more info on this 1 to 5 score - if you have done everything outlined in it, I would get a hold of whoever your rep is so they can help you get up there :)

Hope this helps. Naked is really fucking terrible at communicating things, especially if you are in a studio.

CourtneyRaine

^See, I thought it booted them, too, when I silence/banned that guy on Sunday he stayed in my room for a very long time afterwards. After a while of me ignoring him he did leave and come back (still silenced) but it didn't boot him immediately. Maybe it was just a glitch or something. I've also had like 4 c2c shows where the viewer's cam froze over the past couple of days but I have no idea if it's the site or the viewer's connection being wonky.
