I was on AW last night and was very good, but I think it was just luck because 1 guy stayed very long in private and kept adding credits like 7 times. Free chat is terrible, yes. I bought a beautiful corset today but don't want to wear it in free because they won't appreciate it. And glitches were more than usual, often the video would disappear on their side. As for Naked, I have seen foreign models on there (Romanian for sure), that must be something new.

Thanks SexyAleks, yesterday I found was was very quiet until 8pm then got busy, today when I logged online at 2pm there were around 90 girls in my catergory, now at 8pm there is 50! the site does seem a little slower than normal, I noticed a lot of girls who don't usually offer free chat, have been doing free chat today. i'm just being paranoid that it's me! and it's always when u have tons of bills to pay that money is harder to make :(

The problem i think i have is im new,so anybody know me,then I get maximum in my room 40 people , then how as you get them to stay??i put a goal not loud, dance, excited etc ... but do not get the goal, then people will not tip and leave going, as customers have been fixed if hardly anyone gives tips and go or stay without giving much time looking free and no tip.Today i put oild with tanga in the body,dance sensual and i get 70 tokens in 3 hours!!!! I dont want come back to this site really....
Have you been reading through the MFC thread on here? There are great tips to be found in there.

As much as I hate free chat, I'm afraid if I stop it completely, nobody will come into my room unless it's a regular who knows me. Earnings on AW can be very inconsistent as well as the traffic. One day you make over 200 credits, the next day 20. Also I hate when, during the peak hours, they put like 5-6 or more rows of group chat going on on the top of the first page, and this is enough to kill the traffic for me.

yep! I am hoping today was just quiet for me, I have just realised there was a lot of football on today like tons of games! I do find sport does have abit of an effect on traffic

I never make money in free chat on AW, I only make money when I'm splitting and leave it on paid/prvt and even those only last 5 min or less...ugh.

For me AW it's my main site. Ridiculously long privates also happen on there, the ones where you ask yourself "will he ever leave". There is another reason I hate free chat because it turns paying customers into freeloaders at some point. Or those who went private 1,2 times ages ago and then start coming into free chat every single time I'm online, expecting free attention for their lifetime.

Wonders how to get those ridiculously long chats. It's possible because my rate is 1.99gbp which is only around $3 per min USD. I've found nothing but time wasters and wankers on AW. I'll stick it out though but I don't think I'll be doing the FC anytime soon and if so, possibly for a few min.

This is soooooo true! I was on ifriends for years (paid only) and had a huge spender there..I hadn't seen him in FOREVER..the other he day he pops into my ifriends and tells me he is now over at MFC cause it's all free..he was trying to get me over there LOL! Why??? So u could see my for free too..get lost asshole! Man, I wish things would go back to paid only chats..it's true..it's turning good paying regulars into freeloaders :(((
ohhhhh then I hadn't been on Streamate in awhile then I go jump on a good spender there pops in free chat and asks if I do gold shows..I say no..he's like oh damn..ok bye..really?!?! Good spending regular turned freeloader..thanks MFC and thank u gold shows..NOTTTT

Ok so I logged in and wow this is the worst. I'm actually considering quitting cam completely. I had a guy pop in and put in caps that he's not tipping because he's not sure I'm really there. So I responded with you're not tipping because you don't have tokens.
So he tips $2 then asks me to show my vijuju. Wtf $1 now? I'm being asked to show my vagina for the price of a fucking candy bar? Wtf is that? I told him the prices are there and he's like ok well I guess that will be a gift. Then he went into " advice" I told him he can skip all of that and just read the topic and play accordingly. He said well you need to talk to a guy to make sure he's not a bullshitter vs the guys that are interested in spending blah blah. I said you just came in my room and tried to offer me 10% of what is clearly posted and think you're some how different than the bullshitter ? He tried the ooh wow I've never had an argument because I tipped someone like I'm supposed to lick his fucking boots for a fucking buck?
Then of course another broke loser decided to add his -2 cents with " ooh there is so much pussy on here where you don't have to deal with a primadonna. I was like ooh great another loud broke guy , can't seem to get away from these types. I'm a primadonna now because I'm not flashing pussy for layers of flavored gum? pfft!
Then while that's going on some dipshit decides to use the noise in the room to his benefit and decides to pm me his fucking phone number and say " well I'll wire you some money and lets get to know each other". I said umm I'm in the states not in some fucking hut somewhere . Just tip . " Ohh I can't find my credit card " blah blah. So I said and wtf do you think this is match.com? Stop with the "getting to know you " shopping for pussy" line. I don't have time to call any man for free as you can see I'm at work. Hellllllllloooooo.
Yes lol I totally fucking went off. So I put all of that in free chat and he's like wow you put me on blast. Like I'm supposed to keep his pussy hunting our own little secret. He's like ooh you're disrespecting me. I said you disrespected me by coming into my room with some bullshit story of "you don't know how the site works and then slip your number like this is some mail order whore service." I can't stand when people pm me and I have no way of blocking that stupid fucking feature. It's covers the entire screen.
So I bid the other asshole a fine good day and told him go play with someone else. He made some mention that women were contacting him on the site to fuck all the time. I said if that was so true you wouldn't have time to be in my room. Please go find them and have fun over there.
I went back to watching Season 3 of Teen Wolf lol.
Ohh and I also got a lovely pm from a couple that wants me to fly out and fuck them. I'm straight but I guess they think I'm lying or that some booze will change my orientation.
I have never seen it slow like this on all sites and all it's creating is an opening for the "let me turn you out" from predators. I remember when MFC got slow every guy was asking me to fuck for money. >:(
Wheeeeeeeew ** deep breaths** I so needed to vent.
Even one of my regs pmd me this stupid shit of " ooh you're playing hard to get" pffft now him too???

I totally agree. AW gives me the longest privates too. And the nicest customers. I think it is because with AW u keep 65% therefore u can charge lower prices and still get the same as on other sites. so the customers spend less money per minute and can stay longer.

" Ohh I can't find my credit card " blah blah.
He can't find his credit card but he can find his penis... what an idiot.
I hate PM's too so as soon as someone send me one I say " I don't reply to Pms unless you tip me , I know the site charges you for a membership but I get $0 of the $19.99 ( on naked.com) that you pay , reading pms is extra work and I don't do it for free", then I turn my eyes to the opposite way of my screen in order that they realise that I am not reading their shit.

I so hate that feature!! I had a guy one night that kept pming me abunch of nasty comments and all I could do was close it and keep closing it. It's so annoying. Once I was able to push the screen over and out of sight but most of the time that's not even an option. It's like they pay an extra a month to harass women and we don't even see a dime of it.
It's maybe 2% of the pms result into something beneficial. Everything else is some selfish , self serving need for attention, escorting, free calls, contact me on skype , date me blah blah.
Other sites have the pm feature set up to where you don't even see what's in it . You just get an alert which allows you to easily close it without reading. Naked? pfft it's forced upon you. It makes not sense for them to create a feature for 19.99 that many members only use it to try to take business legal or illegal off the site.
It funny after I posted that above I got two private pretty much back to back plus voyeurs. So now I'm at about $140.00 so far. Ugg sad that it only takes two people and a few sprinkled in spies.

What the absolute fuck was up on MFC tonight? Lowest earnings EVER and I couldn't get more than 20 guys in my room. I'm sad it sucked for a bunch of us but also a little relieved because I started to think I had lost my edge or something. Sent a pic to my bf who is out of town asking IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HOW I LOOK ALL OF A SUDDEN? Like thought maybe I had grown a hunchback. But it was just the site and even my regulars weren't tipping. Everyone "just wanted to talk."

Actually I went back to the way I normally do things on naked. I never showed anything in free chat but thought some flashing may = more $$$ actually it didn't. All it did was give cheap guys a god complex. So after my rant I went back and said "privates only". Once I did that that's all I got which was more money in less time without the aggrivation. I even had " no tipping or privates" = no response.
Guys were pretty pissed off but fetish guys and some of my "private only" regs got it. Tired of talking to 99% broke guys and the guy that tips $2 that wants to talk for 4 hours yet he's some how so generous lol. Usually it's 1% that takes me private without all of that necessary babbling.
I put all of the details about what I offer in my profile. If they come in with dumb questions I just ignore them or just repeat a robotic : "See topic/ Read Profile".

Hey Cherry..thank you for the reply..yea, I might give it another try..with this method..keep messing with it..I'm so sick of dealing with those freeloaders..your right too..a great regular will hardly ever even enter the free chat..they pop right into private..I wish Streamate at least has the option to disable it..now that would be heaven lol!

It was slow last night and I took a break came back and wasnt leaving til i hit 200.. i hit 300..stay positive!! and like I told my customers last night " I took the bull by the horns"

I don't think longer hours are always the answer. There is some serious "slow" days and it could be a number of things. I enjoy reading but try not to complain about how sucky camming is because I don't want to hurt my camming juju. Last week I made $1k but on SM I busted my ass for 30 odd hours (while splitting thank God) and only made around $500 on SM for those long hours that only averages out to $16 per hour for the whole week and I worked every day, sometimes 12 hours. I realized I did a lot better by just doing 3-4 hour shifts and moving on to other sites. Keep your head up ladies!

08-14-2013, 01:04 PM
I agree with kortneykay that there are (unpredictable) shifts that you're better off just calling a wash - I think that just about every time I've had a really shitty day that managed to get even remotely salvaged, the money came after several hours of NOTHING. (And my thought was "Well, fuck, why didn't I just log out and try again later?")
But gingerstripper is right about staying on the horse. 2-4 hours can make a big difference, so trying to stay upbeat can pay off. The absolute worst thing for models is when one bad day turns into a week of not working AT ALL, which can definitely happen when you're feeling demoralized.

There is nothing wrong with staying positive. I am all about the positive!
You just have to remember that when people are 'down in it' they can't hear you. You might be catching them on their down swing while you are on an upswing.
So, I humbly suggest that instead of focusing on making this thread more 'positive' that we all focus on making this thread more 'supportive' instead.

Well, end of period, the lower since I started camming almost 3 months ago. I have a minumun goal to achieve, wich is at least 1000 euros, that is about 1350...I could reach it, but I was totally burnout last night, and just took the day off. I ended 60 bucks from my goal...this month was hatefully slow in Livjasmin. Only was well for girls who are in top of 69 club, most of them new girls who had promotional periods. The last day I was in LJ I was so sick doing nothing, that after an hour and a half dealing with freeloaders to make 0 dollars I decided to give a try to Streamate. I connected, and got a private in the first 5 minutes, I made 35 in 40 minutes, so maybe was just lucky but I think the next period I will spend more time in Sm, if LJ doesn´t work for me anymore.
Maybe is just my impression, but it seems to be less traffic in SM than in LJ, but also less freeloaders and more paying traffic...does anybody feel the same?
Well, I hope things get better for all of us this half of the month :)
