You have to build your name. Promote, research, and work. There's not much more to it. It takes a lot of time and a lot of patience.

If you are working on a big free chat site they already do a ton of advertising to bring guys to the site so you don't have to. That's why they pay such a lower % compared to indy sites where the models have to bring their own traffic. Your only job on a big box site is to keep guys interested so your placement goes up and you will get more guys to click into your room and hopefully convert them into paying members. If you want to do additional advertising you can but I don't at all, I rely solely on the traffic the sites bring me and I make a living wage.

This is not true on Streamate - bring the traffic by yourself using a link they give you and Streamate will give you a higher %! Girls use Tumblr, Twitter and stuff like that to advertise.

That is a VERY good point, if you are on SM and get people to sign up through your affiliate link you will get a much higher % from each show they do with you, and you will also get a cut from everything they spend on OTHER girls, too. It would be a good thing to do and would definitely make you more money but you really don't have to. I cammed on SM for about 2.5 years through a studio (I didn't know any better at the time) so I couldn't take advantage of my affiliate link since my studio SUCKED and I still made enough money to support myself without bringing any guys to the site myself.

Yes you have to be a studio (on Streamate at least) don't know about other sites.
sorry for the newbie question but whats it mean to be a studio? How do you become a studio and then do you sign up to the site differently or the same as a normal person would?

Here is the thread about studios: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?160099-How-to-sign-up-for-sites-directly-to-earn-more-(aka-avoid-studios)

In general they are bad because they take your money and give nothing in return, but when you are your own studio obviously it is different because you are getting all your money. It is the only way to sign up as a business under streamate.

Hi ladies, i have a question here for u that work ImLive, do u have any idea what encoder parameters they use for their HD streamer? Their support have no clue what i am asking lol, the HD software is adobe encoder based just it's built in, u dont see or are able to change settings. I am curious about the frame per second and bit size, also picture size and such, if u know, thank you! I wanna make some calculations of how to splitcam with other sites.

I haven't done much with my ExtraLunchMoney account, but I got notification that I've sold a few products, and I have 44 credits in my account. That's enough for payout via Payoneer, right?

Edit. Nvm, I found the answer. It's enough for payout. :)

Hmm....I have absolutely no clue to be honest,hopefully someone else will happen across your post that knows the answer but in the meantime,have you tried asking this in any of the ImLive threads? Im not sure if there is a main thread for the site but there has GOT to be one out there that either pertains to your issue or has more responses than the others,making it sort of an unofficial main ImLive thread,kwim? Posting in one of those would probably get your question answered quicker- couldnt hurt to have it in two places anyways,since it isnt being answered here-kinda maximizes your chances of getting a response from one of the other members.Good luck!

@AliceFun: I just checked the ImLive host forums (HD streamer section). Some of the posts from Customer Service states that:

In order to achieve the HD icon, you need an upload speed of 600 kbps.

The site HD streamer is built in. The new version doesn't require downloading of any external software. Just log in to your chat room and choose 'broadcast in HD'.


I'm happy about this promotion where we get 40% of earnings instead of 30%. May 15th (the last day of the pay period) is the last day of this promotion. I checked my earnings just now to see if this 40% thing is for real, and it is. :)

And I do wish we had an official ImLive thread.

Thank you ladies, i am using the HD imlive software since they introduced it just never had the info about the settings, i wanna splitcam 3 sites on same PC, ok, i tried it anyway and is working, all sites in semi HD, means SM, Imlive and Ifriends. On SM i lowered the frames per second to 20, on imlive i use the HD streamer and on Ifriends the Advanced option which is a bit lower in requirements than full HD, tho i use full HD on Ifriends when i shut off SM (when i get tired of being in freechat.
So far is working but i wanted to know more about Imlive HD hidden settings, what they use.
Yes, we dont have Imlive thread here and there on site u need to be very careful about what u say, they censor models alot in forums, i was suspended 3 days few years ago for talking open there, bleah.
I am just frustrated with how bad SM is for me lately so i need to splitcam. Hugs nice ladies xxx!!

You should make one! I know there are a few ladies on there. I haven't used it in a while myself, I've been focusing on SM but think I'm going to use it more frequently because I really need a backup. Darn I wish I knew about the 40% thing sooner I would have jumped on that this pay period!! I get emails from them a lot but they go into my spam folder all the time and didn't see this promotion arggg!

Congrats, Snowy! May I ask where in the world you are getting a computer so cheaply??? The best deal I've found is at my local pawn shop, a few months ago they had a desktop/monitor/keyboard for $200 but I am nearly positive they sold it. I need to get a second computer for splitting, and as a back up in case this one ever poops out. Doesn't have to be fancy, just needs to get the job done, and I'd probably use it for chaturbate where the quality of your stream really isn't as important as it is on other sites (I'm looking at you, Streamate).

some dude off craigslist hes legit tho hes got a website and stuff and a computer store. this is just a start me back up thing tho im still going to work up to a better one. the ad said that his systems started at $80 and i called him and said that my work involved web-conference and i needed the cheapest thing i can get that can do the bare minimum of what i need it too so i can get back to work.i know a thing or two and its seems like a good computer and i can work with him and upgrade it along the way but what im planning on doing is using the one im getting tomorrow for work/personal use and working up to getting a gaming/caming computer and using the one im getting tomorrow as the websurf/anime watching/and downloading crap machine

I've never been a PSO, but I imagine that what you'd do would be similar to splitcamming. When you get a phone call, quickly blurt out to your room "Be right back!" and click the button(s) ASAP to exit your chat room on MFC/SM. Do NOT just click the 'Away' button on MFC...your PSO call could wind up being 30 minutes long, and having your MFC status as 'Away' for too long can harm your cam score.

The only time I use the 'Away' button on MFC is when MFC automatically has it come up when a private show has ended (gives you time to get dressed again). If I need to run to the bathroom real quick, I just leave my chat open and tell guys "I'll be right back." If I were to get a phone call (I'm not talking about PSO...I'm talking about important phone calls in general) while live on MFC, I would tell the room "Gotta take this call...be right back!" and log off. Something about being 'Away' on MFC while taking a personal phone call makes me nervous. I'd worry that some sort of glitch would allow guys on there to hear my conversation...lol. So to play it safe, I'd definitely exit a chat room completely before answering a call.

What do you girls say when you're conversing with somebody on MFC and they actually have the audacity to ask you if you are horny for them, wish you could meet them... Like, "So, are you thinking about my husband and I and having a crazy f***fest with us?" For example. Then I answered like, ya that sounds hottt, and then she asked "So are you really considering coming and meeting us?"... This is just one example of one girl, there are guys who have asked me to meet, and for instance asking me If I wish they were my bf. I have been havin troubles with dealing with this because I just think it seems so fake to lie and say "Oh yes baby, I would do anything to break up with my boyfriend and come be with youuuu". Like, bleh... :butthead:

I mean, I haven't even SEEN the guy at all most of the time. Not even a pic... How can they think I'm going to desire to efff them or something. I know it's about fantasy, but it just seems ridiculous to me, just my opinion.. I will appreciate any response gals.. THANX=)

P.S. these have been thru PMs by the way. I tried blocking PMs from non-friends, but my traffic is so low and nobody is barely saying anything or tipping(I've been on for only three days) so I feel super awkward not talking to anyone, so I allow the Premium members to PM me..

05-17-2013, 08:25 AM
@TaTasha - this used to happen to me quite a lot when I was doing MFC. I live in Israel, so no one was all like "Can we meet right now?", but many guys who claimed to sometimes do business in Israel/have family in here asked me where exactly in Israel I live, if we could meet when they go there, saying how awesome it'd be to fuck me, etc. etc. If they tipped and contributed, I hardly cared about it at all and just went with it. But, obviously, if they didn't, I'd be, like, "riiiiight".

Once there was this extremely-shy, sweet French guy in Private c2c who just wanted me to wear a white dress, put a flower in my hair and pretend I'm his girlfriend (while I'm masturbating, but, yeah), and of course I rolled with it. I wish there would be more like him. :(

Hello Chloe. I know that on some sites you have to create a couples' profile and on some others it is not allowed. I know that you can cam with another guy on MGF with no problems. Other girls from other sites will be more specific on what they work on!!!

Just wanted to say I've been reading all your comments and threads and you have all been a great help and I hope to be a regular here! :)

thanks for reading this :) I was just wondering, do any of you do this full time? I'm trying to gauge how much £££ I could make a month, If I was to work like 6 hours a day (I'm sure this would be hard but hey ho) and i was in private chat for like half of that time, for 5 days a week, how much do you in your professional opinions think I could make? L

Thanks once again!!

CarmenF
05-18-2013, 04:30 PM
I think that MFC is one of those sites where you can't. You can cam with another girl if she joined MFC as well (correct me if I am wrong). As far as I know couples camming is VERY stressful for the guy and most guys are very happy to see the girl solo so it's not something you are supposed to do to be successful.

CourtneyRaine
05-18-2013, 04:42 PM
I cam full time as my primary source of income so it certainly can be done, it pays my bills and I am not a top earner by ANY means. No one can tell you how much you would make, sorry. Too many variables. If you *think* you can do 50% in paid chat you can calculate how much your net pay per minute would be and calculate it that way but 50% of time in paid chat seems like a completely arbitrary figure and I would not count on that (could be more, could be less) until you actually spend some time camming and see what your percentages are.

Depends on your rates, your traffic, and how long you are "actually" in pvt

GlamourRouge
05-18-2013, 05:09 PM
Hours are not really correlated with income. It has its ups and downs. But obviously working 50 hours a week will pull in more money than 10 hours a week.

You are asking business owners how much money YOU can make. We cannot answer that question. You run your own business.

I'm not sure I know what full time IS anymore? Certainly not 9 - 5 for me anyway. I cam very sporadically. Sometimes as little as 3 hours per week (or even less!), and other times 10 hours a day for 7 days!! It pays my bills, but there is no way of saying if it will pay yours. If you're new to camming then keep a safe job at least on the side until you know where you're at. There are a lot of ups and down with camming and as with any self-employment it can be unreliable x

So you basically want someone to do all your research for you and package it up with a bow on top?

This entire site has threads with tons of information on each and every site.

Not to sound bitchy but if you can't/don't want to put in the effort to read threads that already give tons of info and want people to give you the sparknotes version you're not going to get very far.

I'm not sure what your rates are, but if they happen to be 3.99/4.99, no, I don't think you should go any lower than those amounts.

Sometimes it's just ridiculously slow on a cam site...it doesn't necessarily mean it's your fault with the rates.

You could always just have a 'happy hour' and drop your rates for that hour and see how it goes. That way you have no problem going back to your old rates afterward. ;)

Just because some of the posts are old doesn't mean the information is now inaccurate. Most of that stuff still applies even now. Plus, you could always just read the last few pages of those threads (where the most recent posts will be), and go backwards, reading as much as possible until you don't feel like reading anymore.

Some people would say that Streamate has changed a bit with the Gold Shows, but you'll need to read The Streamate Thread for more on that. Check out The MyFreeCams Thread too. MFC and SM are probably the two most popular sites as far as traffic/number of models online. Other sites you can look up are AdultWork, ImLive, Chaturbate, and Naked.

Ask us if you can't find it in search, but PLEASE try to search first. Google works best in my opinion. Just off the top of my head, MFC is myfreecams, MGF is Mygirlfund, SM is Streamate, AW is Adultwork.

:) C x

Every host has a different experience with sites, but in my opinion MFC is the absolute worst site for a new host to try. There are some who do well from the beginning but it's rare. It kills me when new hosts pick that site to start on :) but with that said, you may make a ton! Just because I failed at MFC does not mean you will. I make way more elsewhere but no harm in signing up and trying MFC. If you need good steady money quickly I would not count on it. the way someone put it is that MFC is like a marathon. It takes time, a lot of time and effort. I have bills to pay now and I can't put in all those hours without seeing money right away.

I really think Streamate is a better bet for new hosts, even with the slowdown in traffic. Just be sure you sign up directly and be prepared to put in a lot of hours. You can make good money, but if you want this to give you a decent paycheck like a job you have to work the hours just like any other job.

I already checked my acct number to make sure they have the correct info and they do.

I use direct deposit on there and it will take 3-4 banking days (so NOT including Sat and Sun) to hit your account. You should see it by Wed at the latest.

Also, if the 1st or 16th is on a Sat or Sun, it will not be sent until the following Monday - so this coming pay period (May 16-31) will go out June 3rd and should hit your account 3-4 days later.
