I would recommend Payoneer. It's cheaper to get money paid inthan paying a bank to process a check and when drawing out money just do it as savings from pretty much any ATM and it's only a couple of dollars.
that's what I'd recommend anyway.

In 3 months I am leaving my full-time teaching mom to venture into the camming world (again). Last time I did camming, I wasn't a mom, so I had the freedom to cam whenever/wherever. Now, I will be working nights with a nightly goal of $120-150 per night.

Does anyone else work a 4 hour shift 6-7 days a week at night and make that type of money ? I am aware that everyone is different and it is what you put into it, but it would be comforting to see who else works only night hours and still does well without doing stuff during the day as well! :)

Totally doable. I have 3 and one on the way, I only cam at night and in 4-6 hour shifts. Should be pretty easy to make $120-150 in a 4 hour night shift if you are normally making that kind of hourly.

On Streammate, how can I make sure that my picture isn't my live stream? my profile picture is much nicer

Beauvoir, I think you need to email support and request so. I think I read it in here a few days ago.

I have a question. what would be the best way to administer my available time right now? I'm validated for SM and I am waiting for KinkLive to authorize, but in the meantime I've decided to just take the plunge. My main obstacle/excuse for logging in until now is that I don't have enough free blocks of time, but now I've arranged for my son to stay in school until 6 pm two days next week. so I'm planning to cam from around eleven until five those days, with maybe additional shorter shifts at night and a longer shift on Saturdays. So during those 5-6 hour blocks, what would be best, considering I'm starting out in all of those sites --except chaturbate, but I'd like to stay out of there if possible--: should I dedicate one day to one site and one to the other, or toss a coin and go from there until a trend appears.... or can I?

I realize the longer I log in during my New girl status window the better my chances of getting the best startup, but my times are very limited and inflexible for now. I'd rather not cam at night until I have new lights because my current setup gave me anxiety. >_<

thats a studio and they will probably take about 15% of ur earnings so u be making 20 cents to the dollar ruffly and then have to take 35% of that out for taxes sign up with the actual sites as far as what those sites are most of then have threads on the board. just please do ur research before u ask questions....

Hi. I wonder. Is that true that token sites changed industry? Like beggera for free things on sm ect… I think those token sites are awful. I checked them and I saw puss on free chat.. Like I never ahow a piece of it if im not in private area. I always wondered does sites like sm were better beforw token sites appeared where you can get everythingbfor free.

All I know is that models on here have stated that they feel SM has gone downhill since Gold shows started...specifically the $0 Gold shows. I'm not a model on SM anymore, but yeah, I see what they're talking about.

^^I had a dude buy in to one of my 'pussy' only voyeur gold shows yesterday, and complain that if all he wanted was to see pussy, he could stay in free chat., and that he knew I would ban him for saying so, in my room full of guys who actually enjoy paid for pussy. At first I was thinking that.."No he couldn't"...
It was only after reading the above that I realized he prob. meant in one of those 'wretched '0' gold shows! Arggh!:spit:

i wish camming sites would give girls a standard. i was looking at chaturbate last night (didn't end up camming last night) and a couple was doing a bj show for 250 tokens. i was like "hold up! that's not even $15?!"
i feel like you shouldn't be able to give cheap shows. that's just a slap in the face for people trying to pay bills.

LaPetiteVierge

@Petite Chaturbate isn't a normal cam site. There are plenty of people on that site that don't accept tokens at all. If you think $15 is bad, I'll try to remember the rooms that host free (and illegal) BJs, pussy eating, sex, dildoing, etc. on private based sites for you.
You're right it isn't. There's more free and cheap stuff there than like Streamate, but I still feel like there should be a no-cheap policy

I think token sites changed the camming industry to a degree, but think about it like this - sites like MFC and other token sites never started out with the intention of free for all shows in free chat. MFC still states on their rules, last I checked, that there is to be no nudity in free chat, yet they allow it because it would be impossible to control at this point, and it make them money so they turn a blind eye.

It's the cam models who change the industry, and create their own industry standards. I don't really think token sites have made more beggars on SM. There have always been beggars on pay per minute sites like SM.


All I know is that models on here have stated that they feel SM has gone downhill since Gold shows started...specifically the $0 Gold shows. I'm not a model on SM anymore, but yeah, I see what they're talking about.

I haven't seen many $0 shows anymore, thankfully. I think the models doing them realized they were shooting themselves in the foot. Again, the cam sites don't set the trends here, the models do. But I have noticed SM on the upturn again lately, so that's a good sign!

The problem is too many people sell themselves short for a quick buck, I've found that by sticking to my guns I still get what I want but it really is a slap in the face for the girls working to make a living.

I've stopped doing GS entirely. I did two and it just brought so many damn repeat beggars, all of whom I had to ban because they were telling my regs who only do pvts or excls, that for a far less amount, they could see things, which was also actually not true, since I don't do nude GS in any case. Its the worst. I now tell people that SM has 'suspended' that privilege for me and I can only do paid chats. My cam universe is back to normal :)

I think you're right because I recently came across a tweet from a top SM model who mentioned that she's no longer doing $0 Gold shows, and it was a model who was notorious for doing them.

Yed they have but gor example in my stufio noone cares what I do in my free chat. Trust me-they dont give a shit what models do. If they make money-everything is fine. All eastern studios are like that. Thry take responsibility of models actions but they dont check it.

That's probably not necessary at all. A ton of the ladies on SM are listed as housewives, and I'm not sure that many custies notice or care about that particular trait. The guys that do care tend to come in your room and ask whether you're married, despite the fact that you're listed as a "housewife."

Secondly, I actually am married, but I choose not to wear a ring at all (long story). I can count on one hand the number of times I've been asked about why I don't have a ring. I say that I'm in an open marriage, and I don't want a ring scaring guys off and making me look unavailable (it's the sexy/fun version of part of the real story).

I made a long post asking for a critique of my cam on SM but, long story short - have a logitech 525 right now and really have to max out my earnings this weekend. I've been making around $20 an hour with an irregular daytime schedule but I know weekend nights are more competitive. Is it worth it to pick up a 920 or would the money be better spent somewhere else?

I'd recommend buying the C920 especially for SM. I also have a 525 that I use to split with other sites, and while I like it, it's not nearly as clear and the color isn't as good as the 920. So yes, spend the money on the good camera...that's the most important thing to have. I just got a new one at Best Buy for $70...I'm sure you can find them elsewhere for even less :)

passionflower

Thanks! I get tons of compliments on my eye color so the 920 should make that even better. I think I'll stay off SM until I can pick one up (and maybe better concealer??) in the morning. Really need a day to put out links and edit clips anyway.

Even so, I hope you're not considering breaking the rules just because you feel confident that you can get away with it. Hell, I used to be with a Streamate studio, and I was suspended for below-the-waist nudity (at the time, I didn't know it was against the rules). I'd hate for you to get yourself suspended/banned...all because you felt like being a rebel one day.

You don't have to be a good dancer. Even if you're listening to the music YOU love that makes you smile/bop your head/snap your fingers/shake your body, etc., at least you're doing something (instead of sitting on cam looking bored) and enjoying yourself. And if you're doing that while looking sexy in, say, a push-up bra and thong, these guys have gotta be insane to not talk to you and take you private.

The way I get them into private is by not showing ANYTHING for free. If they are curious they can tip me to stand and show off or glance through my pictures. I'm always friendly and welcoming and make it clear that I can indulge in their fantasies in paid chat only...but I will answer any questions they have and will chat for a bit before letting them know that they need to pay for my time. That's what works for me.

Not sure what webcam you have, but Logitech comes with it's own software and you can take snap shots with it too. My best advice however, is to just take a video of you posing different ways and then capture pictures from the video. You can just "print screen" or use a video editing program to capture each shot.

If you have Tumblr, you can use it to take a photo. I think it has a 3 second delay. You can make a private blog and store photos there for downloading.

I'll try tumblr and will try the video capture idea.

I've been using the Arcsoft software that cam with the camera, but the image quality really isn't very good- very high noise. I know my webcam is capable of better quality photographs. If only I still had my dslr...

So I've been having a lot of trouble with my connection timing out while I'm camming and kicking me off of SM, and I have issues streaming other sites like youtube. I'm 99% sure it's my crappy router that I bought from my school's supply store. I'm trying to find a cheaper router that will work best for what I need, what router do you guys use? I'm hoping to be able to find something used off of ebay until I can get my income back up and be able to drop some decent money on equipment.

Edit: I had to stop using an ethernet cable because apparently my ethernet port is damaged, and even dropping my bra on the cable was enough to make it disconnect, Damn you electronics! I badly need to upgrade...

You really don't need a router. Actually you should be hard lined in straight from your modem to get the best outcome for camming. Just pick up an ethernet cable and connect it straight from your modem to your computer. You will have a clearer connection and won't get disconnected as easily.
