ohh ok ill be serious lol
I died. Definitely using this on my kid lol
yeah, on a serious note
a lot of us stopped giving advice on camsites bc 1)different personalities 2)if it doesnt work for the model , we dont want to hear the cry. ;)
basically its about trial and error. I know Im signed on just about every camsite , some I never have used (cough nightflirt, ifriends etc)

One of my favorite regulars has asked me for some non-nude pics, he's the romantic type and won't be able to come see me for a while due to work obligations. Kind of like keeping my picture in his wallet. He'll be paying me directly so I'll get almost all of the money. He's a good spender so I don't want to shoot too low but I also don't want to make him feel exploited by charging too much. How much do you think I should charge?

He won't say! (He's one of those "oh, whatever you want" guys.) He won't even tell me exactly what kind of pics he wants, I'm going to take a shot in the dark and do a couple face pics and a couple full body pics in a shirt and panties. Basically like he's seeing me in free chat. I was thinking $25 or $30 for 5?

I myself don't have a question that hasn't been answered in a thread or in the general chat during my time here, but I do want to make sure some of the newer people see this so they can add questions here without having to go to the effort of making other threads. :)

I've been searching for an answer for awhile, but to no avail. I had a customer on SM pm me with the following message:

I'm pretty new to camming, and I'm not sure if this is a scam or something I could actually make some dinero from. I know paypal is not a good option or giving my personal info. What do you ladies think is the best way to go about selling/mailing/receiving payment for such goods? All advice is greatly appreciated! Xo

Aaaand my picture isn't loading, sorry. This is what the pm said:
"Hey, let me know if you want to sell up panties ans for how much... I have bought them for 50 and 75 before ? If you are on PayPal or moneygram, I can send you money there or I can do it via amazon gift card. Let me know if you have red, white or black panties or thongs. If you are on Skype, it might be easier for me to select the 1's I like and I can transfer the total amount... " he then gave me his Skype name.

Skype, outside customer contact (getting his address to ship him something) & arranging any kind of off-site payment are ALL against SM's rules. That said, some girls still do sell panties. Don't take Paypal of course. Not sure about moneygram. If you want to sell him panties, you'll have to NOT use SM's e-mail to arrange that. I've actually had SM delete e-mails from my inbox when guys were trying to talk about things that are against the rules.

I think I've read on here that on SM you can't have contact with customers outside of the site and no selling panties and stuff.

Yes, I did not respond to his message on sm for fear of getting into trouble, I was going to try to figure out an arrangement on skype, but am unsure of what the best option is.

OMG FUCK just had the SAME guy. He wants a free fashion show. I blocked him and reported him.
edit: Don't bother with this guy, he's not for real. I've had real panty customers and he is most definitely a freeloader.

The only, ONLY thing you can sell on streamate is videos. And that is if they pay you in gold and you send them a DIRECT download link. That's it and I heard that straight from Vanessa.

Thank you girls! This site has done more for me than I can express. There were days I didnt feel emotionally able to cam, but I stopped by SW and read some encouraging threads. Although I am a new member, you guys have become my support system. From snowy to Isobel, and everyone inbetween, your encouraging posts and honest opinions have done more than you imagine. Thank you, nocturnelle, I was not aware of that rule. Xo's to all :)

Whatever you do, if school girl is something you offer, make sure to put "18+" beside it in your profile. A while back ImLive was going around sending models warnings for having the phrase "school girl" in their profiles (I had gotten a warning too), and they said that you must have "18+" beside it so that you're not advertising underage play. ImLive doesn't mess around when it comes to following rules.

I believe they can tip you during and after. I personally received a tip during the show, after we were already in PVT before my customer got his requested show and I believe Customer Service told me that they can tip after as well. They cannot tip in free at all so be careful because quite a few girls have been falling for the "tip 4 flash" line the cheapskates are giving.
It's amazing that I've been on ImLive for a few years, and didn't even know guys could tip you during or after a show...lol. Thank you for this info, Vlodina and kortneykay!

A custie has been trying to send a private load to my Payoneer card. The first one was rejected (he says maybe because it's an unfamiliar site to his bank?), second time he used the bank account directly instead of his card. It's been saying "Payment waiting for approval" for like 40 minutes now, longer than it's taken other custies before.
It's a rather large amount and this is a very good customer, but that's on SM. He forwarded me the email from Payoneer and it looks legit (like the ones we get when the card is loaded, same formatting and everything):
Dear (custie name),
Thank you for your payment request!
Your payment request for $xxx.xx has been received.
Your Payment Reference Number is: xxxxxxx.
The Payoneer card will be loaded with $xxx.xx (minus any applicable fees) 5-7 business days following approval of your payment.
I'm really excited to do a show with this custie and he's been amazing on SM. I don't want to scare him off. What would you do?

So I've searched around but this damn site doesn't have a faq, anyone know the payment info on cams.com/streamray? Is it like some sites where it's 1-15th,16-30th or weekly? When is the cut off time?

Anyone care to tell me if the video on my MGF profile is worth keeping up?
This is the first time i'v tried embedding a video, but I am hoping it will actually entice guys to contact me....BUT I am worried I just look like a big DORK :propeller.

(all I did was take a few clips from two of my videos and slap some music behind them...haha...so no I wasn't trying to actually be in rhythm with the music >.< lol)

09-26-2013, 12:49 PM
i dont think the vid is bad or anything i just dont think the music matches the 'vibe' of the video if that makes sense or i could just be biased because i dont like hip hop rmb or rap hopefully others can chime in

Yeah I was thinking of switching the music, but it's just a pain with the laptop right now. I have downloading music since I always get virus pop-ups from the antivirus thing...I just threw whatever random music I could find haha >.<
From what I have heard from other MGF ladies, they seem to just get a lot of free loaders if they have videos on their page...so they deleted them and just stopped doing it.
I don't think i'll put in my status that I have a video on my page or not...since the words "free video on profile" will DEFINITELY bring in some freeloaders...haha.

It is the 1-15th, 16th-30th. When you go into the earnings page it says at the top when they pay. I have no idea when the cut off time is, it doesn't say.

most likely at midnight wherever their servers are
I was working as cam girl 4 years ago (mostly on flirt4free and peekshows and imlive). Then i went to work to hospital and left it cuz im not able paying morgage with that sallary. I will start working on cams full time again but on different sites. I made accounts now with MFC and Chaturbate and Cam4bucks and Streamate. I dont know if i can work on all at once because off different rules. Streamate i havent checked yet but i think u are not allowed to do anything in free chat (flash boobs etc) and on other three you can. Which sites do you combinate when u work on more at once? I never worked for tips before,only privates, so im new to this. And if any girl can help me in email to explain me this bots and appts ..i dont totally understand them.. >It can be in private email too .. Thanks.
If some member wants to pay for panties and send money, does any girl here uses payoneer for that? I only use payoneer card and i see options that people can send you money on payoneer from their mastercards too?? I would love to use only payoneer and nothing else for personal payments too if its possible..
Any tips or advices are welcome.

dont work token sites and pvt sites at the same time work cb mfc and cam 4 at the same time if u want and work sm imlve and flirt4free at the same time peekshows got bought out by sm so now its a white lablel for sm.
for pantie sales and using payoneer it takes a few days for the process to clear and become "final" they can say they
sent it but then they can cancel it after uve already mailed it out so ud be sending him free panties. you can either wait a few days and send them out after payment is cleared or if u shop on amazon a lot u can have him send u a gift card to ur amazon account just give him the email address attached to ur amazon account if u dont have one already make an email with ur camname. in the email it will give u a code and once u put that code into ur account on amazon.com theres no way he can take it back
Thank you so much Snowy :))) It was very helpfull reply because im not on track anymore after so many years (and my looks changed too LOL ;( ) I will listen to your advice and do so. Im excited, little scared how it will pick up cuz im totally from bottom totally from start again. Without regulars and so on lol. I live in some shitty eu country where amazon doesnt deliver lol , i tried to order webcam already from them so i dont bother. I will just use payoneer and will send when i see member's money in my payoneer account. Never done this before, even dont think someone would buy panties ... will learn how that works s l o w l y and will see hehehe..
Thank you and will keep in touch in this beautiful helpfull forum as i am new here as well lol :)

So, i've been seeing a few mixed posts' from people about selling pic sets on MFC. Some say it's worth it, but some say it's not. But most of those posts' were from over a year ago. What is the general consensus? I have a few ideas for some picsets, but I don't want to put too much time into them if they won't be worth the time. I'm thinking that I'll start with one and see how that does. Just wondering about other people's success (or un-success haha) with selling them on MFC.

why not ask in the mfc thread? this thread is for questions that dont really have a place to go for ppl who dont want to ask a little question and make a whole new thread . ull probably have better luck getting ur answered there anyway most of my questions in the thread dont get answered :/

Ok, so I'd like to get a watermark up on my cam for MFC. I've tried CamTwist and I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently I do not.
When I enter the text, it still remains the standard "hello there" verbiage. Any insight on your use of CamTwist or any other programs to achieve this would be SO GREAT!
I'm on a Mac if that helps at all.

Cam Twist is a little finicky. You have to hit "enter" after putting in your text in the "string" entry box or it won't apply. Hope that helps!

I am sure this question is asked all the time on here so feel free to direct me elsewhere, but seeing as how I just signed up with SW yesterday and this is my first post I am going to ask it here.
My spouse and I have recently gotten into online camming. We signed up with imLive first and have now just signed up with SM, but are still waiting for all of the approvals to go through. We love camming and the fact that we both get to do it together is just icing on the cake. My question is: What are the best sites for cam hosts and which ones offer the best percentages (i.e. are they all about 30% or are there others where the hosts get paid out a greater share?)
any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks for being a great resource for newbies like me!

Hi kmsmokinhot, welcome to SW!
In terms of percentages, I can only tell you about the sites I work on and what I've read. Some of these don't allow couples, so they may be irrelevant to your interests unless you're planning on going solo here and there.
Streamate - Allows couples, and you're already here. 35% of whatever you set your price per minute at.
ImLive - I don't actually know the answer to this one since I don't work here, but you already do so I guess I don't need to answer that!
MyFreeCams - No men allowed, but we take home $.05/token. This comes out to about 63% of what members spend to buy the tokens. Members do like to buy b / g videos so maybe you can work in a couples aspect on here in that way. I also use MFC to schedule b / g Skype shows which are paid for via tokens.
Chaturbate - Structured the same as MFC with a $.05/token payout. This site does allow couples. I'm not sure the actual payout percentage re: member money spent vs. what you receive, but I suspect it's similar to MFC.
MyGirlFund - Structured differently than a live cam site. No men allowed on live cam as far as I'm aware, though you can sell b/g videos. Your payout starts at 65% and increases by 5% for every $5,000 you take home, up to 90%. (I wonder how many girls have actually hit this? I've never really made MGF work for me at all.)
CamModelDirectory - This is an independent listing site, meaning you'll take home the most pay (75%). You'll also probably get the slowest traffic, but it can really add up over time. There is a "couples" listing on CMD, and it only has eight results, so you've probably got a great market possibility there!
Hope this is helpful and someone can address AdultWork, Naked, Cam4, and anything else that I spaced out on.

Does anyone work Cams (Streamray)? How did you decide on your percentage?
I haven't broadcasted yet... I have three possible attack plans in mind: start at the lowest percentage (for highest exposure), then if I get a decent amount of traffic raise my percentage until I find my sweet spot. Or should I start in the middle? Or just start at the highest percentage and see how I do? Any advice is greatly appreciated. :)

Go to your wishlist there is a drop down menu that should say unpurchased. You can just cl
ick down to purchase
There is also a different layout for chrome I think? But it's much the same just MOAR droppin =)

Put the highest percentage you can! I had the same question and went digging around in the forum. I can't remember where I read it, but one of the girls tested her rankings with different %payouts and they were all the same.

Also, AdultWork pays 65%. But percentages shouldn't be as important to you as traffic, because even if you're on a cam site that pays 80%, if the traffic is shitty and it's like *crickets* everytime you log on, then the high percentage won't really sound so appealing anymore. A site like Streamate does have a low percentage of 35%, which sucks, but a lot of models feel that Streamate has good traffic that makes it worth it.
