I'm looking for a cute, inexpensive bag to store my sex toys in so that I can have them on hand easily. Any suggestions?

I use this giant purse that someone gave me for Xmas. It's too big for me to carry but great for storing my stuff because it has several compartment.

I did cam full time for 3 weeks while job hunting, did ok like 500£ a week :D. I'd like to actually make some money off it when I can go on for a bit at the weekend or the odd evening. It's been terrible like sitting there for 2 hours and didn't do one show. I think I need to take control of the shows but honestly I have no idea how it's meant to work. I put in my tag I'm a sub and let the guys take the lead so I didn't have to think lol, but this doesn't work whem I have 4 hours a week I can be bothered to go online. Do I just go on and say hey I'm going to use this toy and cum hard, join me! ?

So, um, I've been considering getting into camming over the past few months and I think I worked my nerve up to try. I want to ease my way into it and I want to be safe about it. I thought about joining mfc and doing a few shows and trying to gain my confidence in it.

if you want to do token sites i suggest doing chaturbate first . if you dont have a brand or a hustle down MFC will murder you because of the cam score

I'm sure its been asked before, but I can't find it in a search. Is there a list of recommended streaming sites for new girls? The ranking systems on some are intimidating and I just don't understand the token system on others. I'd like to find a site thats newbie friendly (taking the plunge from stripping to camming).

Streamate is newbie friendly (I'm also a newbie lol) but I'd give it a few weeks before joining because they're having major tech problems. I've recently joined ifriends and it seems simple to use but there's a lot less traffic. Good luck!

I have a question regarding your Skype ID and when to give it out. I thought it might be a good idea to advertise (on my profiles and website) my Skype ID -- hence, I'd capture contact info on my clients and prospective clients to build my database of customers. Unfortunately, I'm getting TONS of people asking to connect and then just wanting to chat me up (not cam related), send me pics, etc. How do you weed this out (or do you)? Is it better to just say that you'll give out your ID after they've booked a show with you?

yes for the very reason you're experiencing now also change ur skype settings to only let people who are on your contacts make video calls . when i was new and on cb i made the mistake of not knowing about that feature and having my skype name be the same as my cam name and i was getting ppl calling trying to vid chat with me while i was in the middle of my live shows i had to block them to make them stop and that would happen 2-3 times a day until i figured out how to change my settings

Ditto to what Snowy said, Kink. That said, it also depends on the platform.
* If it's a cam site, such as MFC, CB, or the like that allows off-site contact like Skype, then they can schedule the show (type, length, time) over that site, pay for it, and then get my ID, not one second before.
* If it's an indy site, such as LCMS or CMD, I personally use the following system: change my settings for showing audio/video to require my approval (whether a contact or not), change settings to ONLY allow contacts to send me pictures, files, or make calls (i.e. please no more unsolicited dick pics, assholes), and then leave instant messaging on Skype on for non-contacts. When customers contact me, I ask them, verbatim, "What kind of show do you want and how long do you want it to be?" If they can't answer those questions immediately, 99% of the time they're time wasters. After someone does answer that and pays the price, I add them as a contact and do the show. Immediately after the show, I remove them from my contacts list. Opinions on that last tactic vary (some customers want to see when you're online, are reminded that you exist and to book a show, etc.), but my reasoning is that my being online doesn't necessarily mean I'm available for shows and I regularly got unsolicited calls from once-paying customers left on my list. This system, personally, showed customers that I'm there for work and not play.
* Bonus, unsolicited tip: for all those horrifically annoying dudes who want you to call them to 'prove you're real' or that the connection exists or whatever BS excuse they use, I make the following suggestion: offer them the option of paying $3 for a 30 second, non-nude, one-way audio/video check, which will then be treated as a discount from the actual show they purchase (i.e., if they purchase a 10 minute show for $30, give it to 'em for $27 after the check). Not ONE dude has taken me up on it, but I've also never had to deal with their freeloading nonsense since I implemented the rule. Trust me, the first time you agree to one (for whatever reason) without being paid first will most likely be the last, as you're probably gonna be greeted by a naked dude furiously jerking his dick to your face for the 10 seconds it takes you to end the call (assuming you've not turned off automatic-acceptance of video feed from callers, that is). It's...not fun.
Good luck!

i have a question about indy camming on skype. If you get disconnected temporarily whats a fair way to handle it with the customer? Say for example if a customer buy a 10 min show, you get disconnected around the 8 min mark? Some customer requested that i restart the whole thing but i was only disconnected for a couple secs.

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass when people who don't intend on buying a show bother you on Skype or any other messenger service like Yahoo! Messenger.
I remember when a long time ago, I had something up on Twitter and my MFC profile/room topic about where to send me an Amazon e-gift card, and when I had logged into Yahoo! Messenger (or maybe it was Skype?), I had a message on there from some troll basically saying "LOL. You actually think guys are gonna give you Amazon gift cards?" I was like who IS this fool? Some butthurt guy that I'd banned from my room??? Had to go looking for me outside of MFC? Get a life.

It depends if the disconnection is on your end or his! If it's on his end, too bad.
Personally, I would have a rule that if it gets disconnected, such as the remaining minutes will be used toward the next paid show with a minimum of 5-10 minutes purchased (depending on what you want). People will try to get as much out of you as possible!

So I have a bcc950 and I'm trying to split with it and my sound is crazy muffled and really low even when I max it out on the cam itself and on the encoder.
I check my stream on in another browser and it sounds like I'm in a can underwater =( would an external mic help?

An external mic would help but you should check sound settings in your pc ,check if bcc is set as a default device and test the volume there,maybe it's set too low.If that doesnt help you should contact the seller to have your cam replaced.I never had issues with mine.

If it happens within the first 30 seconds or so OR if there was an ongoing issue on my end (a VERY rare occurence) I won't subtract it from their total. Otherwise I'll just pick up where we left off. So in your 8 minute mark example I would try to reconnect and finish up the last two minutes. If he isn't able to reconnect at all, gets interrupted, or otherwise wants to delay using up the rest of his minutes, I offer to let him add them on to another show later.
The best way to handle that situation is to offer them those two options (reconnecting or adding on later) BEFORE they can even suggest restarting completely. Don't let them even think that's a possibility. They sure as hell wouldn't have that option on a per minute site, and they shouldn't have it on skype either. Way too easy for them to abuse anyway.

Hi, I've been looking everywhere for the answer to this but cant find it
If use Payoneer or Paxum to be paid from MFC and transfer into my bank, what is written on the bank statement? Does it make reference to sex work/adult work/MFC etc.
Thank you so much if anyone knows, this is what's holding me back!

I get payoneer payments to my bank from various sources and they are called Earthport PLC on my statements.

Does anyone have any advice on cleaning lipstick/lipgloss stains off silicone? I have 100% silicone dildo and I use toy cleaner after every show but it still has stains and I have no clue what to do about it. (I don't have a dishwasher, for the record.)

^^Any kind of oil** should pull the lipstick off the toy if you use a generous amount and give it a good rub (I don't think it's possible to avoid looking like you're giving a handjob, lol!). Then use dish soap or castile soap to wash the oil off the toy, as they are both very good at cutting grease and oil.
**EDIT: The two types of oil product I would NOT recommend is any type of silicone lube - even if it's compatible with your toy, it's not great at interacting with the lipstick - and any form of vaseline or petroleum jelly, which is almost impossible to get off of toys no matter how much you wash them (don't ask how I know that!).

What do you do when you want to sell/trade Amazon gift cards? I was given a tribute out of nowhere without the guy even buying a show. Which is great! But I wish he had just tipped! I've sold GCs before but they were all lower value. This is for $150 so I'm afraid it will be harder to move. I'm willing to give up a good % to convert it to cash. Any ideas?

Did anyone else here get a PM on here from someone named Gerald?
We're two entrepreneurs working on a new product to help streamline the process of requesting a custom video for both customers and models. I have outlined the product shortly below.
In order to design the best user experience, we're looking forward to gather samples of custom video requests. May you be so kind and send me requests you've had from your customers? (whether the video was eventually made does not matter)
How it would work:
Basically, upon clicking on your link the customer would be displayed a page featuring:
- information about you: do's and don'ts, the gear you use for filming, lingerie/sextoys you have, etc. depending on what you provide
- a form to easily lay out what he wants to happen during the video: length, different steps of the scenario, what you should say/use etc. (not every details would have to be filled out).
You would then be notified that you have a new request, have a look at it easily so you can reply / propose a price.
Additionally, the service would handle payment processing and escrow the funds so that the customer can pay without fearing a potential scam, and you can make the video knowing that the funds are there. Once you upload it, we send it to the customer and transfer the funds to your wallet (revshare ~85%).Indeed any feedback / question is more than welcome.
Have a great day,
Gérald

Yellow flag on the 85%, and red flag on the term "wallet". Most e-wallets imply they aren't using an "adult-friendly" processor, which means they're in trouble as soon as the adult rate of chargebacks come into play or a dissatisfied customer tips them off directly. 85% is pushing the limits of any website payouts when customer transactions are involved, especially if they are geared for adult content, and obviously you wouldn't have much in the way of cb protection. This also likely means they are using you to push traffic, which may not necessarily go to you in the end if there are other models to select on the site. They may also have other side income in mind, and it sounds like you are pushing your video through them...who is to say where else that video could go for additional revenue streams.

Cameras - how much of a difference does it make. I have no clue :(.
i'm looking to upgrade my camera, i have these choices -
logitech c310, this is in a local, good, shop, i can pick it up immediately - cost in US dollars is 54
logitech c910, order off the internet, long wait, cost in US dollars is 144 plus long wait.
how much of a difference does it make?
i dont want 920 because i read a lot about it making people look pale and i already look ill/washed out sometimes (not in a good way).

That is wrong about C920.If you have the proper light and set it correctly the vid will be great.Same if you use verysoft splitter as you can set colors in there too.But,if you want to go for one of those you named,go for c910.I had it ,I liked it,but when I got c920 and then bcc950 I didnt like it anymore because it was low quality in comparision with others.
scarlettbelle
09-16-2015, 10:19 PM
The c920 is really the way to go. I'm extremely pale and don't have any issues with it. Plus you can adjust the lighting and color settings through the software that comes with the cam.
The most important thing is having good lighting to start with! I highly recommend grabbing an inexpensive light kit from amazon (mine was about $50 and came with everything I needed).

I noticed this wasn't answered. Download a program called "many cams" it will watermark your feed and you can record your show at the same time as you are live.

I was thinking of charging a certain amount of tokens for my Skype name and then on Skype organising a different payment for a Skype show?? Will I get banned for that? Also best way to take payment. I'm in australia so amazon gift cards are no good for me. I heard about giftrocket which is like a card that can be cashed out for money??

Okay for anyone who is good with biology. I was thinking about bulimia today, but this is not a questions related to bulimia!
I just got worried at one point cause I realized that I so a ton of Deep throating shows and of course most of them are messy (as requested) Sometimes really really messy and I wonder where the hell does all that spit come from!?!?! This is where I got worried cause I wonder if its coming up from my stomach and if potentially contains acid that could be damaging the enamel on my teeth. (that is the bulimia connection there.)
Does anyone know if this is a possibility, how much damage it could be doing and if there is anything I can do to stop the damage (like would using a baking soda rinse after the show neutralize the acid??)?? I really just dont know enough about biology to answer all this myself.

It's saliva. Your mouth is watering because it's open and something is inside it. You doing extreme deep throat/puking is the only way you'll bring up stomach acid. I've been using buckets of saliva for oral for a good decade now. Perfectly healthy teeth and esophagus as of a week ago. Your going to be fine.

Ladies, do you know what the deal with Payoneer private load is?
A few months back they said they were no longer doing private loads, but I have a submissive client who has always sent me funds that way and he was still sending tributes through just fine. Took 2-3 days to hit my account, but otherwise no trouble.
We hadn't spoken in a few months but today we were catching up, he sent me 2 $30 tributes and is says that they're still pending. :/ Should I message support, or get him to? Is it possible I'll have to redirect him to a payment processer (LCMS, CMD) now? I'll tolerate it, but damn, not seeing 100% of his money will suck :(

U can watermark your video through a splitter .I recommend verysoft .Not free but a good investition for splitcamming.

What is the best approach to handle regulars who start wanting pw shows instead of privates?
I'm only new but I've already had two guys go from big tippers and long privates to asking for a password show instead of paying for private. Just because they have tipped big amounts in the past doesn't entitle them to free stuff but how do I say this without losing a high paying customer?
