$9 in an hour and a half. A big spender wanted me to come on and when I did he was nowhere to be found. Same goes for the rest of my regs. Fuck this... I'm giving it 40 minutes then I'll hit up MFC and see how it goes.

No one's even hitting me up on Skype. What is going on lately???

SM is kinda dead right now for me... I'm wondering, is this a good time to be online? I should get later... earlier? ugh

The problem with the whole 'good time to be online' question is that usually the best time to be online is when there is less girls on the site......so when anyone mentions it is a good time to be online then everyone will rush to get online and then of course it isn't a 'good time to be online' anymore.

http://media3.giphy.com/media/ed3OUkmsoX0uk/giphy.gif

Other than the above factor, when it comes to camming......timing is truly is anyone's guess. You don't need traffic in order to make money but I definitely doesn't hurt your chances. If you start keeping a regular schedule then you will start to build up regular custies since they always know when you'll be online.

Glamourmilf
03-27-2014, 06:49 AM
In my Experience, the whole notion of keeping a schedule, so custies know when You're on, doesn't apply to me.
I log on whenever, and my custies have the 'notification' set, so they always come in. plus, I get lots of new people too.
The problem I have with that, is that it might not be until 6 hours later that they will spend.
Remember that (SM), has a daily spending limit, so the guys have to wait until they can spend again. At least that's what they tell me when I ask why they are in my room, and not going prvt.
I never encourage guys to just 'hang' in my room, because for me, I'm only there to make the most money, in the shortest amount of time, not to discuss the weather, or anything else 'sexual' to 'get them off' in free.
I know when I'm going to make the most money camming, but it's usually not usually doable for me to be on then. Oh well.:frown:

They can contact support to get their limit raised. I think the default is something like $300 a day but it can be raised much, much higher. If a guy was spending all of that on me on a regular basis I probably wouldn't call him out on it but if guys are coming into your room and boo hooing about their limit after supposedly maxing it out on other models then tell them to contact support.

03-27-2014, 06:59 AM
It's really different for everyone. I would try two hours shift in the morning, two in the afternoon and two at night. That's what I do. I stay on longer on the shift when the money is constant. I don't have a set schedule, I just swing it. Make the money while you can!

When a guy will tip to see my ass and then my room fills up with freeloaders who will then leave as soon as I sit back down. Goes to show just how many freeloaders there are just waiting in the wings on Streamate. More reason not to show ANYTHING AT ALL unless tipped or in paid chat!!

I even tried to hint oh I have to get off soon because my cam score goes town when I get not many tips. And he was like aww okay bye :(. SERIOUSLY? You had 800 f*cking tokens!!

Yeah I have a hard time believing that SM would limit anyone's spending to $25. That would be a super weird business decision on their part. I understand setting it to a few hundred at first to minimize chargebacks (since they're the ones who pay them) but $25? Sounds like they just ran through their allowance. Anyone have a customer account who can shed some light on this?

Yes, my customer account spending limit was set to $25 by default but it lets me raise it up to $225.

Procrasturbator
03-27-2014, 11:15 AM
Wow, that is mind-boggling. Can you just raise the limit by yourself (like we adjust our prices) or do you have to contact support? I had a guy who had to go raise his limit for me, he said he called support and verified his info or something like that. But this was after he'd already spent a few hundred so IDK if that's a different deal.

anonymous camgirl
03-27-2014, 11:16 AM
They probably mean their OWN limit.. you can set a limit on there of how much you want to spend on any given day.. you can also change it at whim... so if he says that?? that means the amount that he is only willing to spend.. not the amount SM has told him.

Yes, I can adjust it myself in increments up to $225. There is a notification at the bottom that says to have it increased more contact customer support and links the email. So, as long as they have a good standing with the site I'm sure they'd let them raise it a reasonable amount.

Uggg... comp is on the fritz so I had to go out and get another one. There was helpful attendant at the store. Just when I went to ask him one more question about their return policy he muttered something like "I don't mind staying in this aisle with you all day". I thought wait huh? *screw face*. So I get up and ring out. $500 that I'm hoping I'll make back oncam +extra before the end of the billing cycle. So he asks me my name and I muttered my real name out but something felt off. Like that attendant went from professional to slightly "out of bounds". Now I'm about to leave and the cashier (guy) asks if I need help out. I'm thinking the desktop would be heavy so I said yes please... When I lifted it I realized I was super light weight and said "ooh no I'm fine I got it". That cashier mutters under his breath " he's going to like this". I'm thinking wtf is he talking about? So there's that attendant pushing my cart out the door saying I'll help you. I tell him no that's ok I got but he's already in the parking lot with my cart of goods. Here I go opening the door and the guy starts looking at me funny. Loading my car took 2 seconds at best because umm I didn't even need his help. Sure enough the guy goes to shake me hand, pulls me in for a hug and tries to feel me up. Like WHAT THE EVERY LOVING FUCK WAS THAT SHIT!! I couldn't even believe I just had that happen to me. The guy actually tries to grab my ass wearing his Office Depot shit. Like hello bitch don't need a job this year? Like what the fuck was that. I slapped his hand and said what the hell was that???!!! He'slike "I like you" I said you don't disrespect women and then tell them you like them. He even had the audacity to say " can I hit that?" Like what is this guy on? Was it because I paid for a computer in cash? So what??!! I just went the damn atm and grabbed money out! I keep thinking what was it about me that made this guy over step so terribly and did that loser checker put him up to that behavior??? I'm filing a formal complaint after I take this fucking computer back. So after all of that I had to set this annoying pieceof trash up to find out that I absolutely hate it!! Ohh and barely made $100 today and I mean barely.
So sorry that happened to you. It sounds like you got "made". One of those asshats saw you online is my guess. NO EXCUSE!!! If Pamela Anderson walked in there I doubt they'd do it to her.

Yeah, maybe that's what the guy only wants to spend. I have 2 guys who come in everyday, go exclusive for exactly 2 minutes. No more, no less! It pisses me off, but at least I know what their 'game' is, so I don't even do anything in that 2 minutes, but watch them jack-off, and talk dirty. These days, it beats a blank.

I'm the same way. I have (well, had... hasn't been around in a while, boooo) a semi-reg who takes me pvt for like 1-2 minutes and just wants me to look at the camera and beg him to cum on my face. No nudity, no theatrics, just "fuck baby I need that big load all over my face". Welp, I'll take it.

I just checked out the limits on my custie account, which I had never looked at before now. It was set to $225 by default, but I can lower it if I want. The options available are $25-$225 in increments of $25. So when they say their limit is $25, that's true, but only because they set it up that way themselves.

This is a real life rant! Why do some people feel it's okay to deliberately run their shopping cart into someone's personally space at the grocery store out of spite? I had to tell this dumb bitch to fuck off! She got the nerve to tell me 'that's very classy of you'. The NERVES! So I asked her 'Did you mean to say that's very CUNTY of you?'. Can't say shit after that.

I am rapidly getting over freechat sites because of this feeling. I think content sales/passive income makes more sense long term. In the time spent kicking around in free chat between shows, I could have been filming content that will make me money for years to come. Time is money.

5 1/2 hours today and nada. My stream keeps getting dropped and I get wannabe Romeo's asking deeply personal questions about my life and how they want 'to get to know about me better because we have a connection'. (Excuse me while I get sick.) That is until I say go private or exclusive and then they're gone. Ha ha, true love indeed. What can you do about it?:P

Camming sucks because as usual the members that tip are acting like super stars with chump change. Also one guy (OLD AS DIRT) had the audacity to tell me "I'm going to watch a movie". Riiiiggght nice passive aggressive statement there. Loser! I already knew he was going to try the "let me talk you to death for free but when I said HEY TOKENS" He tipped some chump change got pissy and decided to announce how he's going to watch a movie while he sits in my room. I can't wait til things pick up so I can dust some of these hateful bastards. In other news my original comp is off into FedEx's hands hopefully in some tech house getting fixed!

Actually I'm just going to kick him. Rude fuck!

Failed miserably at another attempt to raise my price above 2.99 and ended up at page 4 with 20% paid vs free chat time - yet another time (like 6th or 7th, I think). I got a shitload of toys, lingerie and outfits, a fuckmachine, a Logitech BCC 950 and pro lighting. I'm definitely worth more than that - and yet here I come again. WHAT ELSE DO THEY FUCKING NEED?

I don't know which model you are on SM, but I really hoped it would work out for you, to raise well above 2.99. You got it all, good English, sense of humor, and smart. *hugs* I am struggling on there myself, too, after I fucked up my schedule by not sticking to it.

IML is glitching the fuck out and it's costing me money.

Fuck this, seriously. I have a guy who's bought shows before saying he's about to get another one so I'll give him a couple minutes but after that I'm out.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot. I took so much time off that I guess I'm off my game (either that or it's IML's glitchiness.) To my knowledge I haven't made one guy cum in pvt on IML in the last ~4 hours I've worked it. They all fucking leave without cumming, or without telling me they've cum, or I have to sign off/sign back in because of technical bullshit and they don't come back. I can't even do my fucking job.

Hi, i am sorry this is happening to you, it's another proof members dont wanna pay higher prices to certain nationals, i remember u from EE, right?
I wish to ask what means for u "the attempt to raise price", what u doing exactly? Raise price from 2.99 to how much? Keep the new price for how long? You get complaints? What do they say? It's ur regulars complaining or the new guys telling u "u must be kidding with these prices" or similar?

I wish to understand cause in order to succeed with ur 'attempt' i consider u need to give it time & expect to loose regulars & get complaints from new guys, i mean u'll eventually get new type of traffic, build new regulars & start making more but this wont happen instantly.
Another thing, its understandable that u wanna work with higher prices but if u not making money right away as u wish then its not worth upgrading with the hope u'll make money later on, in between u loose the money u able to make now & placement tanks.

The only way it could work is to just expect & deal with the money reduction/ lower placement untill things improve & people start to pay the new price, IF they will do it, no guarantee. This could take weeks, months to get there eventually.
But if u ok with the money u make right now, means more privates/ good placement/ good % in paid, why change & risk what u have now for something u dont know u'll get? This is my point of view knowing where u from, which is a very important factor in business.
Good luck & u may want to tell more about ur price change attempt, if not is ok, i will understand u were simply venting. Hugs!

I'm so fucking tired of people coming in with "You're beautiful". Shut the fuck up and tip! Your compliments don't mean shit to me with a fucking 00000 behind your name. I just blocked another fucking time waster with " Ohh I'm getting tokens". Yeah I heard that last time BLOCK!

What's worrying me is that MFC is really going to get stupid the closer the end of the pay period comes. It's usually the top models doing almost 24 hour shifts and the everyone else sitting in nearly dead ass rooms with the guys that haven't bought tokens since 2010. Ugg hate this shit. It's like a mad dash for cash.

WHAT ELSE DO THEY FUCKING NEED?

Your first born child apparently :) Sometimes you just gotta know when to walk away. Then try again later

Seriously, I don't know what happened. Earlier this week, I increased my rates and was doing GREAT and now somehow I'm down to my lowest per-hour average ever over the past two suck-ass days. What on earth could be going on...?
