I didn't make 1 dam cent. Barely even had any conversations. Can't even try to convert guys if they are all just popping in and out. Will try again in a few hours. I refuse to have or feel my energy drained only an hour into my shift.
It was like that for me yesterday too. I know there's something wrong( or I think), when even good regs are not even staying long enough to say hi.
Granted I was on earlier than usual, but, whoa was it awful.
THEN, when regs DO go prvt..they kept getting kicked.

I still do OK, nothing to write home to Mom about. In 14 yrs of cam, I've never seen it this bad..... EVER, this shit is worse than Christmas day. Very little traffic, regulars gone, no interaction and boring AF. I just had a look around stream and I never want to log on again, everyone looks so upset. Is it everywhere or just stream?

It seems to be everywhere that I work. It's either nobody is coming in to my room or they just pop in and out or they come in to just chat. I remember the days when the guys would go private if they wanted to talk. Ah, how the times have changed.

just found out that ifriends doesnt support splitcam! grrrrrrr
of course they support splitcam, i tried it 2-3 days ago but that site is too dead for me, i dont even know how models cam there now a days, free to private option or paid chat only? are people still making money there anymore? that was my 1st site but i dropped it years ago cause lack of traffic, it seems the same now...

I tried using splitcam and image wouldnt come up at all, so i talked to support and they told me the site dont support splitcam because its the main reason to tech issues, so i was like: wtf!!! so it does support??? how to make it work????
ifriends was my first site to work with too in 2001, and it worked fine those days, but now i think its slower, i dont stay much, only 1h or so when aw is very dead for me. i make few bucks here and there but wasnt able to make a check yet. its better during the day, at nights sucks, at least for me.

Dead is right!.. I can only make like 100-200 a month on there... to bad... they used to be the hottest cam site out back in the day! #1 and now they have fallen.. all sites fall at some point and then another takes it's spot

I use Verysoft splitcam software and mozilla browser cause for some reason my chrome dont like ifriends, when u in the session there u can click on the cog up there and open the settings tab where u pick ur video source and mic; of course they'll say it's not working to split cause they dont want u to split but it's working, their software might be a bit tricky to get it work with ur system but it's working. good luck xx

I know right? Not worth the pc & connection resources to keep a dead room running, i am used now with fast money on SM, dont have the energy or health to stay on cam long hrs anymore, i used to bank on Ifr in their years of glory but then it dried up so i switched to SM.
My i5 desktop pc is not strong enough to manage SM 720HD & another site in true HD, i mean it's working but the CPU goes up to 80% usage so if i split i need a site to be worth the resources, means to make money on it together with SM, if not fast money for me then i dont split & stay on SM only.

Splitcam works with our site. By "do not support" we mean IT doesn't troubleshoot or offer technical advice on splitcam software.

I think its amazing that you took the time to clear that up. Communication is the key to any partnership. So I have to ask.. what is IFriends actively doing to rebuild its prescence online? Because the ladies here are saying its dead? A lot of sites are right now but at least you showed up to answer a question. If I friends is working on getting traffic for the site I'd be interested to know? Its an opportunity to come up considering that some sites are faltering right now.

i might maybe have to use IE to run splitcam then, coz on chrome it doesnt work. I work only on aw right now, but thinking abt splitting with ifriends and if i can make cam work.

Sometimes on Chrome you may have to clear your cache before you get the popup box to add your video and audio again. Its tricky

Oh yea? Imlive was my main site before I switched to SM.. now it's my bitch!..lol.. I swear to god I used to make just as much money on imlive as I do now.. about half my earnings.. the other half comes from the other sites.

I still have Ok days, but not great days.. Not since that hellish period last year. Things just haven't been the same. I went from full time to part time because in my opinion it's just not worth it anymore especially since the bad/slow days outnumber the good days for me. Left and right guys still complaining about black screens and glitches. To me it's pointless to fight this anymore . I feel like I'm on a sinking ship. I'm much happier now that I focus on other eggs :)

Times have definitely changed. Last year around this time is when I noticed everything you mentioned. My high spending custies left cause they got tired of trying to spend $ and getting disconnected etc. tonight, same thing, most could see me while others complained of black screens or the video disappearing. Not to mention , most of us are posted on tube sites (private shows , exclusives, gold shows) and who really has the time or energy to send DMCA takedowns all day?
Anyway, pardon my rant ...

this same feeling i had in 2009, and then in 2016 im here and was amazed how things still work. I see lots of girls, the newish ones at least, making tons of money, not sure this will change after they are not so new anymore, but there is traffic, maybe not that good anymore and not high enough for all girls, but there is. So i think that mkt urself, working hard and making regs, is the way to go. I dont give up now, maybe never coz im a fighter, always was, but of course it gets tiring when u have more bad days than good days. but then, its hard to find a job that pays really well and u feel so happy that u can pay all the bills and travel etc....i had that job from 2011 to 2013 and then they caned me....lol cutting expenses, and i did few things after that like teaching, making handcraft items for homes, and then i though....mmmmm, but this is not what i wanna do......whats else? and i dreamt of aw, lol, yes i dreamt. i went to the site, looked....went off........dreamt again, thought abt how i would tell my hubby i wanted to cam again, told myself it wouldnt work, spent a month thinking abt it, couldnt forget it, came back with the dark power....lol
and im happy to be back, i am, but of course like ay other job, i get insanely angry sometimes. Still i think its worth it.

I can totally relate to you! I too lost the last job that I had some years back and it was rough for awhile. Webcam, for me, in the beginning was a lifesaver and I'm forever thankful that it gave me some valuable lessons and experiences. Best wishes to you doll! I certainly hope things stay awesome for you.

I find it amusing how people that claimed to never use profanity see those that do as being angry, unprofessional or low class.
Sometimes profanity is more than needed to punctuate a point!
People that claimed to be clean cut, well-polished and never use profanity are usually the worst.
They do the most gutter butt, nasty shit behind that facade.
I'd rather hang around a bunch of sinners than fucking well-polished hypocrites!

It drives me crazy that guys assume I can just snap my fingers and get myself hard and cum for them. My hormones make that take a little longer unless I am really into whatever my client is into. So many will start a show and immediately message "Cum for me hurry have 5 minutes" or something.
Which hits on my second--when they jump in my room on SM, have me strip all the way down, then run out of funds before my hands can even explore. I can never redress in the skimp 30 seconds SM offers after a show, and wind up having to boot whoever is in my lobby waiting on me so I can put it all back on T.T
Side note: I have found guys in the lobby are really turned on by me being in the process of redressing when I pop back in the room. I just play it off like I'm really coy and innocent and embarrassed about being seen. lol they eat that up.

He asked me out, but in our second conversation he blurts out..
"I love your long, blonde hair. Is that your natural color?".:irked:
WTF! Really?
He also asked me to send him a photo of me sitting by my pool. I sent him one of the dog sitting by it instead.
I haven't dated in 6 years. Are we doing this now?
I must be jaded from camming, so I'm gonna just go with it and challenge him for now.:-\

Working a vanilla job and doing a bit of PSO. Ive been doing the PSO for a few months. And I'm completely hating it. I prefer a club because I have more control of the guys in the club. It's hard to control guys on the phone. And the creepiest Pervs and nuts on the phone. I just booked a club for July. Thankfully!!

He knows what my body looks like. It was 100 degrees out where I met him, and I wasn't wearing that much.
He probably was just testing me to see if I would send it, OR, just wanted jack-off material.
Either way, he's met his match.
THIS ride will not be easy. Lol!
I'm def. gonna put him through the paces, because I know all too well, that men love a challenge.
It was the hair color question that bothered me the most, though.

LOL at sending him a pic of your doggy lounging by the pool.
As for asking about your hair color, I'm sure he's beating himself up over the head for saying something so stupid. He was probably nervous and blurted out stupid shit.
