Random questions: What exactly is a "library show"? Someone mentioned that in a thread I read (can't remember which one), but it wasn't explained and I can't find a definition anywhere.
Also, based on my reading of site rules and whatnot, it seems like a lot of sites ban fisting. Anyone know why that is? Do they allow it on KinkLive? I personally like it, and I'm wondering if there's a way to monetize that shit on some site, since I'm sure lots of dudes would pay to see it. :P

For those of you who do c4s and SM...do you advertise your cammodels link on your c4s? Is that all chill with c4s? I could read the rules but tbh I'm half asleep and sick and I have a nyquil hang over.
ALSO. c4s. What day do they pay out?
Thank youuuu ladies <3

As far as I know a library show is literally a show in the library.
Unless there's a new meaning suddenly which is possible.

I imagine that cam girls who do library shows do it for the "I'm being naughty in a public place where I'm supposed to be quiet, and I could get caught!" factor. I have no idea how one would be able to pull off a masturbation library show. I could see maybe sitting at one of those tables with your laptop (because don't public libraries usually block porn sites on their computers?) and doing boob flashes with your back turned to everyone else in the room? LOL.

A library show is a show in the library. Ick.
Fisting is a violation of obscenity laws, which is just the dumbest thing. I don't believe you'll find any American sites that allow it. I don't think it's legal in the U.K. either.
Seriously?!
So, two fingers? Okay. Cucumber up your cooch? Okay. Bukkake? Definitely okay. Four or more fingers? YOU DISGUST ME! lol. Makes no damn sense at all.
And BrownFox, many libraries are actually remarkably lenient about porn. I've seen guys watch porn at the library. They don't usually have it blocked, at least none of the libraries I've been to, because they are really hardcore about First Amendment issues (). But I don't know why the hell anyone would WANT to watch porn at the library. lol.

I've closed my SM account to switch over to Katy Boleyn's daily pay studio. Does anyone know how long before SM pays out the remaining money on my old account? Is it just with the regular pay schedule?

Regular pay schedule Bootsie. I did what you're doing back in late June and had my old account payments by mid July.

Interesting. The public library near me blocks adult sites. I know this because a long time ago, I was hangin' at the library for a while and was using one of their computers. While at the computer I tried to access either StripperWeb or one of the cam sites Model Admin pages, and I couldn't because the library's computer blocked it.

Re: library shows: Please be VERY careful if you choose to do them. If you have someone walk past, if a kid is in the background, you are in violation of the whole 2257 shit or possibly could be considered making child porn, even if it is unintentional. Your cam site could shut you down (and that is the best-case scenario in case of accidentally having a kid appear). Also, lots of the shows seem to be college girls in their library. Used to work at a college, getting discovered doing this could get you kicked out of school. Also, people can use the surroundings to find out where you are quite easily. Please BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL. I don't do public shows for the reasons listed above and others, it just isn't worth it to me.

I could never do public shows after hearing about a girl who did a show in a hotel bathroom (I think, it's been a while) and a couple of guys in her room told her exactly where she was and that they were outside waiting for her... helllll no, absolutely not worth the risk.

All my lamps have the bulb in a casing that is shaped sort of like this:
http://www.target.com/p/room-essentials-gooseneck-desk-lamp/-/A-12227096?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=google_pla_df&LNM=12227096&CPNG=Lighting&kpid=12227096&LID=32pgs&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=12227096&kpid=12227096&gclid=CKOl3er69MACFZJr7Aod_CkANA
To cut the glare, I just cut out a circle of white paper, put it over the opening, and taped it in place. Works like a charm! I only use my lamps for camming, though. If you need the lamps at full brightness for some other activity, or you don't want them to look odd if guests see them, it would be kind of a pain in the ass to put the paper on and take it off again every day.

Great idea.
My lamp is a similar shape to the one above - a bulb in casing - but it's slightly bigger. I worried about covering it as I didn't want to start a fire.
Bootsie
09-22-2014, 09:37 AM
I bought really cheap white pillowcases and I drape them over the lamps (make sure you don't leave them on too long if your lamps get really hot!). I also bought a cheap white flat sheet and rig it up as a cover for my window that lets light through but you can't see through it the way you can sheer curtains.

I have a question. Taking into consideration how traffic currently is on the following sites, if I were to go by the nighttime schedule listed below, what site(s) do you feel would most likely consistently earn me an additional $350+/week? Please don't say MyFreeCams or Streamate, because I am so done with free chat sites. I'm not on NiteFlirt or MyGirlFund, but some possibilities that crossed my mind were pairing up Cams with NiteFlirt...or Cams/NiteFlirt/Arousr. I even briefly considered MyGirlFund, but from what I've read it sounds like they're real quick to penalize a model just for something a guy types out in the chat.
My nighttime availability would look something like this:
Mon/Wed/Thurs/Sun: 9:30 PM - 11:30 PM EST
Fri/Sat: 9:30 PM - whenever I get tired
Tues: OFF. Karaoke Night!

I think Cams/Niteflirt/Arsousr is good maybe add in being available on ImLive and AW maybe start doing PSO more? I have some places i can tell you about if you want in PM. Maybe get on Ember Chat too? Have you tired Cam Model Directory too?

I was unsure where to ask this! I am currently revamping and I'm pretty happy with it. The only thing I'm worried about is not having an "online now" button. Is an online now button even important? I link my mfc profile via twitter daily, but that's the only time I can imagine it's an issue. I've searched for coding and through different forums that help people with MFC profile customization but I haven't found any information on this! Ideally, I'd like to be able to make my own online/offline button and find the coding for that but if it's not important, fuck it, right?

09-27-2014, 05:47 AM
^ Laugh them off of the Internet? I've never, ever, ever gotten that request. If I did I'd say they could buy a pre-made clip or, if I was feeling really, really nice, I'd offer to make them a non-edited, non-nude, non-fetish-fulfilling clip (like, 15 seconds of me waving and saying hi, that's it) for a flat $5 fee or something along those lines. Upfront, before I even make the clip. I probably wouldn't even do that though, because what in the world would someone even need a test video for? Ridiculous.

Absolutely not. That sounds like some guy trying to get a FREE video out of you. And don't fall for excuses like "I wanna make sure it's really you, and that your video is good quality," etc. That guy has some nerve asking you to do a test video (for free). Ha!

I have a question//I know most sites vary with the way things are done, but just curious:
I work on Livejasmin and after 15 minutes in free chat without a paid show, I start getting annoyed, especially if the same guys are hanging and not buying a paid show from me.
I usually log off affter 1/2 an hour without a private show. Is that about right? Does anybody have any experience with this?
Please any input is uselfull. Thank you!

so newbie questions about privates on SM.
how to make them longer, then? I know, tease, strip tease, showcase, talk, etc., but I start getting anxious around min 6-7, I'm already naked and I've shown tits puss and ass, I don't wanna go too hardcore if not requested --it's a pain to take the toys out, I'd rather use only fingers, so.... what else?

I'm having some technical difficulties with the Encoder on SM, and I'm not sure what to do.
I upgraded my computer to one with better specs, and tonight was the first time I tried to use it for camming. Once I set up my stream, then the Encoder will grey out and it'll say "not responding" at the top. On the SM website, it'll all look normal and says I'm streaming. But I had a friend do a feed check, just to make sure that I'm actually streaming, and he says that the screen tells him I'm in a private show, even though I'm not.
I'm using the same internet connection (which worked before), so it's not a bandwidth issue. I'm using the same Encoder settings, which are the recommended ones from SM. I have the same camera. The only difference is the computer, which by all accounts, has much better specs. Running SM and Pandora at the same time only uses about 25% of the CPU, so I'm not overtaxing the processor either. I spent about an hour messing with this tonight before I gave up for the evening.
Any ideas? Is it possibly the SM website? I know it's been having issues lately, but I haven't cammed in a week from being sick, and I need to make some $$$.

The producer will contact you via a pop up during party chat and ask you to do a gold show. They will offer a goal, (usually it's the average based on other gold show goals you've done), a buy-in and minutes to goal. In exchange for doing this special gold show, you get placed on the top row on SM and more exposure on their paid satellite/cable channel. You also get the guarantee of the goal amount even if you don't meet it in time. Sounds good right? Trade offs, you have no control over where this show gets distributed because technically, SM owns it. You will also need to keep your free chat portion on during the time you are getting to goal. Your geo-blocking will not work. And chances are you will get Tivo'd or PVR'd. If you don't mind all of this, then go for it, otherwise opt-out.
I personally have done it, it has helped immensely with getting more favorites. And I do gold shows only because they help me get my rankings up for time on cam rather than putting in hours. High rankings, high placement.

Split camming, or in my case, doing both MFC and other sites (I have a recording space at the end of my bed and in my living room). Or, doing scenes, and being able to edit in other angles.
