Okay, so this is NOT related to camming, but this is the only area of SW I post in, and there's no other thread this belongs in.....
IF I'm unable to find an IRL friend to come with me to the Justin Timberlake/Jay-Z concert (one of the tour dates is in August before my birthday!!!!!), I'd be open to the idea of going with a fellow cool cam girl. :) I love the fuck out of Justin Timberlake, and I really, really do not wanna go to another concert by myself. I want a cool person to come with me so we can scream at the top of our lungs together...lmao.
By the way, if we were to do this, you wouldn't have to pay me a dime for your ticket. I'm gonna buy TWO tickets myself (the person who comes with me WILL NOT owe me a dime), and all you'd have to worry about is finding a way to get to the concert venue. Of all the cities he's gonna be in, the possibilities for me would be New York, Baltimore, or Philly.

Bumping this thread because I don't want to start anymore threads asking random questions lol.
I signed up for Cams.com, not done with the application but wondering if its worth it? How is traffic on there?? Should I even bother?
And I got an email after I signed up from 'Streamray studios' is that Cams.com or did I accidentally sign up under a studio? I sure hope not because then I won't even bother for sure.
Thanks in advance!
StephanieXS
03-04-2013, 11:21 AM
Streamray is Cams.com. If you signed up independently you'll actually be signed up as your own studio.
As for traffic it's not the best but its pretty good, I enjoyed it while I was there. I say it's definitely worth it. :) Good luck!

I have a kinda yucky belly.. So i wear like a control top type tanktop that is long so I stretch it and make it kinda like a dress and pull it down under my bra.. Does wonders for my shape :) They dont care... AS long as whatever it is comes off lol :)
Fallenangel2904
03-05-2013, 10:33 AM
I usually just cam in cute panties and a bra with a tank over it. There is no need to go out and buy a bunch of lingerie when your first starting. I was way worried about what I wore when I first started but I definitely was over thinking it. As shysarah said as long as it comes off they don't care lol

I wanted to ask what has happened with livejasmin? I'm almost sure there was a general livejasmin thread here last year, when I was in the forum. But now there isn't and I mostly hear bad things about LJ, but I'm just curious what exactly is the reason?

There is not much PAYING traffic. There's tons of traffic, usually 100+ "guests" in my room each night but that's not PAYING traffic. Also, it's next to impossible to get guys to go private for anything over $1.99/min. You can only go as high as $3.99/min and guys see that as OMG SOOOOOOOOO expensive! There's also a lot of guys who try to scam you with fake "surprises" which are basically tips.
Also, there is a "promo period" where you cannot raise your rate above I believe it's .98/min or .99/min I want to say .98 tho. You have to stream for a certain amount of time before you are out of the "promo period".
You have to make $100 in a pay period before they will pay you, and if you make $50 one period and $50 the next, that doesn't count. It has to be $100 in one period and then you will get all the other pay periods that you didn't make payout in the same payment. Also, chargebacks. They DO have chargebacks. I got a $6 chargeback from Feb and started March with a -$6 balance, and trust me it takes a while to make $6 on LJ!
These are some of the biggest complaints I have heard.
In all honesty, I started split camming on the site on Feb 1st. I got out of the promo period super fast because it is much shorter if you spend a lot of time in private. At .98/min I was in private non stop. I made $350 my first pay period (1st-15th) which is not too bad for only split camming. This pay period so far I have made $42 and that is only working two days (about 4 hrs each day), so about $21/day. I have found it to be okay for split camming, but I would never in a million years use it as my main site, considering I make more in one day on SM than what I made on LJ in two weeks!!! But, as a "run it in the background and ignore it" option, it's not too bad for me.
Also wanted to add, free chat is optional but I don't see many guys going into members chat without being in free first. And if they do it's 5% lower pay for you. You start at 30% (or 25% in members only chat) and once you make $100 in the pay period you are bumped to 35% (30% members only chat). After you reach $300 in the pay period you are bumped to 40% (35% members only chat) and it goes up from there to 60%.

Is the Logitech C615 webcam a good cam for MFC/Chaturbate etc? I tried buying a C910, but couldn't so I'm looking into this other model. Doesn anyone have it? Does it do a good job for broadcasting?

I know a lot of ppl say set PM to freinds only on MFC but I was planning on trying to turn my PMs on and either give them a time limit before im like "It was nice talking you but I need to give more attention to my room now bye" or keep track of how many times they come in my room PM chat with me and not tip. If I go the second route what should I do? Should I just be like you cant PM me anymore unless u give X amounts tips about 200 for the freinds list or just put them on ignore and not tell them? And how many times should I let them chat for free? My cam score is super low it was 402 last time I checked so I kinda feel like I dont have the luxery of being you want to PM me? PAY ME!

I know there are a lot of answered questions around the forum but I didn't find anything related to what I'm about to ask. I'M SO SORRY IF IT HAS BEEN ALREADY ANSWERED, I tried to search with no sucess. So there you are:
- Is that ok to pay for a pvt for another model so I can watch her show and learn? I mean not her personal touch to the show, but I was thinking of buying time in pvt from some models I really liked to see in free chat... that's the way I found in my head to learn what's appropriade or not to do in pvt, if I'm making too much for too little, even ask for any tips... and I'm unsure if I can say I'm a new camgirl looking for advice or if I should pass myself for a guy.. should I?
- What do you do camming when you're in your period? Non-naked stuff? I can't imagine a pvt without fingering, using toys or any other things that evolves my pussy. And I didn't want to lose the income of 4 or 5 days =P
- I'm looking for a camera to buy, and I've read lots about it around the forum and even here in this thread. But I saw a really interesting feature in one of the girls I've been watching: the camera seems to go right, left, up, down, zoom in and zoom out just using her keyboard. I LOVED that! Does every good HD camera do that or it's some kind of special camera?
Well, that's it for now... I'm sorry for three questions in a row! I'll keep researching! And I hope someday soon I'll be the one helping out instead of just asking for help!

Some dont mind some do All I can say is you should let the model know that ur a female model looking for advice and just ask if she would be willing to talk to u in pvt and see if shes willing to just show you what she does if shes gets no direction from a male (or female) cleint

I really think that you should set your PMs to friends list only. It's up to you whether or not you'll charge for friends list/PM privileges (a lot of models charge 100 tokens for it). If you don't want to charge x tokens for it, you can just decide which of your regulars/tippers you want to add to friends list. And what you can do is...if a long time goes by where you don't hear from that member anymore (he just doesn't visit your room and tip anymore), you can just delete him from your friends list. You're gonna get some crybabies whining "It won't let me PM you, bb...why u delete me from your friends list?" LOL. But a lot of the guys who whine about this are the ones who get carried away with PMs anyway, and sometimes you just gotta let these guys know that they need to go easy on the PMs.
I have a regular who is a good tipper, but when he's in public chat he'll talk vulgar to me ("I would fuck the shit out of you"), then he'll PM me "You always put a smile on my face, Shelly." He puts on this big playa act in public chat, but then in PMs he keeps saying sweet things. Last night I actually had to tell him "You're PMing me a little too much, man...lol." So he stopped and talked to me more in the chat.
I think guys should only PM when it's something that's really not meant for public chat (like if y'all are making fun of a weird member in the room, wanna discuss a private show, etc.). Otherwise they're kinda taking your focus off of the public chat, which isn't fair to you. Guys need to start using tip notes more often too. It annoys me when someone on my friends list keeps PMing me dirty talk. They need to send that stuff in a tip note, or just take me private. Some models keep their PMs open to everyone, and I don't know how they're able to do it...I'd hate to get bombarded with lots of "How u been?" PMs from guys who could just ask that in public chat.

Can you pay for another pvt? HELL YES!!! When I started stripping, I learned everything from other girls. EVERYTHING. You don't even need to worry about telling them that you are a model - you are PAYING. Don't pass yourself off as anything. Get in pvt, and say whatever you don't know what to respond to (nothing, do what you usually do, what are you best at, whatever). As long as you aren't being rude or mean, or expecting them to do it for less than usual, go nuts. It's not art, it's porn. You can't really plagiarize.
Periods - I know you said you saw it, but yeah. Sponges. Fake it. Non-nude. There are a lot of options.
Most cams do at least a little panning and zooming - the amount and the remote depend on the model.

Ive noticed they do that when theyre watching me from a pm window and wont go in my room. When I leave my Pms on and I see in my members in room list theyre viewing from a Pm window and sometimes i call them out on it and im lik "im not going to give you specail attention when you dont even have the respect of comming into my room " or "Youre viewing me from a Pm window youre watching me from the lounge have a million other girls up on ur screen and have no intention of tipping" then they always call me a bitch or say they were going to tip but I have shitty attitude and I'm getting nothing from them now and they leave. And yeah I do get a lot of hi and this and that messages but I dunno of this is my own trip or what but I feel because my cam score is low I need to give more and I'm trying to figure out what I should do about the Pm thing

Can anyone tell me what the "tokens" on MFC equate to? I can't find this info for models anywhere on the site. I know how much tokens cost for men (10 tokens for $20) but what does that translate to for the model?

ten tokens isnt $20 for the model its 10 cents a token for customers and we get half of that so for us a token is a nickle

You have to make $100 in a pay period before they will pay you, and if you make $50 one period and $50 the next, that doesn't count. It has to be $100 in one period and then you will get all the other pay periods that you didn't make payout in the same payment.
Are you sure about that? I've contacted support and asked them about that and they say, that when I hit 100$ I can take them, doesn't matter if part of it is from previous period. I asked them two days ago.

Yes that's true, Sarah is right, i worked on site and its definitely how they do things. Support there is lame and they not native english speakers, they hungarian and might not understand what u saying or have no clue about the right answer. When i asked them the same question they said yes, all ok, bla bla same like they answered u and then i went on with specific example, so if i make 40 in a pay period and 80 on the next, will i get the 120 at the end of 2nd pay period? then they realized what i was talking about and went, oh no, u need to make over 100 IN A PAY PERIOD actually to cash the rest. yeah, right, i gave up site, i still have 45 bucks in there since few years ago.

Good morning, ladies. Is there a specific time of day that Clips4Sale usually sends out payments (I get paid by ACH). I see on their website that they're sending payments out today instead of March 7th. :) I have stuff I need to do as soon as the payment shows up. Thanks.

My c910 works perfectly fine and I like it, but I'm going to start having a lot more natural light and I'm wondering, should I get the c920? is it better in natural light?

This is a decision I also have to make. I still have money left in Amazon e-gift cards, and I think it's time for me to buy a new HD webcam. For a while now, with the cam that I have (Logitech HD C910), if I lift it up off my laptop or move it even a little bit, it completely freezes up my video...so then I have exit the site, unplug the cam, and replug it back in. I think it's ridiculous that I have to do that. I don't know if it's just because my laptop is old or what, but I've read posts where models have said their webcams last for like 6 - 8 months anyway.
It sucks to think about the money we spend on laptops, webcams, etc., and having to replace them every such and such. That shit ain't cheap...lol.
I am happy with the Logitech HD 910, and I thought I've read posts where models said they had issues with the 920 (I'll do a thread search later). So I'll probably just get a new HD 910 off Amazon.

Hi Guys. Good Morning! So I just had one question (well.. Kinda 2 lol). Other than the C910 and the Pro 9000 what other cameras work well on Sm and with the encoder? Also Is the Pro quick cam 9000 the same as the Pro9000? and can you use either? Not sure if this made sense? Sorry if it didnt~

Yes that's true, Sarah is right, i worked on site and its definitely how they do things. Support there is lame and they not native english speakers, they hungarian and might not understand what u saying or have no clue about the right answer. When i asked them the same question they said yes, all ok, bla bla same like they answered u and then i went on with specific example, so if i make 40 in a pay period and 80 on the next, will i get the 120 at the end of 2nd pay period? then they realized what i was talking about and went, oh no, u need to make over 100 IN A PAY PERIOD actually to cash the rest. yeah, right, i gave up site, i still have 45 bucks in there since few years ago.
Thank you, now I got it.

I've never used any webcam outside of the Logitech brand, and Logitech seems to be more popular and have a better reputation than other brands. I think the popular recommended cams for models are Logitech HD C910, Logitech Pro 9000, and Logitech HD C920. I wouldn't buy anything outside of Logitech though.

I had actually bought the Logi c910 last week off of eBay only to have an email on Monday from the seller saying that since it had been discontinued she would not be able to fulfill the order and that she would be refunding the money. I am so MAD! I currently use the Logitech C510 HD and it sucks mega bad. I have seen some listings for the Logitech quick cam Pro 9000 for a decent price but wasn't sure if it was the same as the Pro 9000? Thanks Brown Fox for your reply!

Discontinued? Fuck...
If I can no longer purchase a new C910 off Amazon, then I'll definitely get the C920 instead. As long as my webcam is Logitech, HD, and a new/somewhat new model with the number '9' in it (C910, C920, or Pro 9000), it's probably very good...lol.
Looking at the Google photos (and Amazon photos) now, it looks like the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 and the Logitech Pro 9000 are the same exact thing, but I'm not sure. Can someone else on here confirm this? If it's the same thing, they should just make up their minds about what they wanna call it (either call it 'Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000', OR call it 'Logitech Pro 9000'), and leave it at that...lol.

And I had been saving just to get the one I ordered that I ended up not getting! Paypal takes 30 days to process the refund. I am so annoyed. I was not very nice to the seller. I informed her that she should not have sold a camera that she did not have in her posession. When she wrote me to tell me that she could not send it because it was discontinued, I said.. I know it is. That is why I ordered it off of EBAY!

TheBrownFox my educated guess is that the Quickcam Pro 9000 and the Pro 9000 are different models, and the one camgirls usually go to is the Pro 9000, with no "quickcam". The Quickcam models are less sofisticated ones, intended for lighter use, from what I understand.

Don't lose hope if your fave webcam has been discontinued, you can always check Craigslist...it's still good for that. I found two near perfect Logitech 9000 webcams on my local CL for $25 and $35 compared to the $80 they marked it up to now. As far the the Pro and the Quickcam being different, here is a copypasta from Logitech support:
- While the QuickCam Pro 9000 offers VGA-quality video at 30 frames per second (high-quality video) on Skype, we made adjustments to ensure the updated Webcam Pro 9000 can perform up to VGA-quality video at 30 FPS on any video application, including Logitech Vid (http://www.logitech.com/vid).
- The Webcam Pro 9000 was modified to be capable of adjusting to widescreen format and record 720 pixels (1280×720) at up to 30 FPS.
- Finally, software is no longer required for RightLight. Instead, we\’ve built it into the device, so right out of the box, you\’ll get the best image quality possible, regardless of harsh or dim lighting conditions. Perhaps too much information, but we also adjusted the firmware to make sure that RightLight engages only when necessary.
Bascially the Webcam Pro 9000 is the newer improved model. I have both the Quickcam and Pro versions. I notice that recorded videos are a lot smoother with the Pro; my Quickcam videos are always pixelated when I record using the 'optimized' HD option. Despite this, the Quickcam is still one of the best webcams for streaming in my opinion. Update your drivers often and you should be good.

I'll finally be able to contribute instead of asking... hahahaha!
I've had a huge research about the best HD webcams for streaming videos. I've watched comparison videos, asked around for friends who work with streaming videos (in other fields, I know no camera girl personally :'() and read lots of articles about it.
I've picked up Logitech C920. C910 is still available in my country, by the way. Besides really good quality and software, it can be fixed in a tripod ;D good for me, I use a laptop for camming! The comparison videos show a slightly better quality in C920 as well. And I've read here in the forum and in other places that Logitech 9000 can go with an yellowish image sometimes.
So well, if you want to buy a new camera C920 is your way to go. As for me, I'm still not satisfied: when I profit way more than I'm doing now (still a started applying in websites and learning) I want to buy a camcorder with remote! I saw a girl using it and got crazy about it! I guess I'm a gadget person.

You're probably better off without Live Jasmin, because I don't hear many positive things about that site anyway. It sounds like that site has one of the worst reputations of all the cam sites.
It's almost 7:30 PM here. If my C4S money ever does show up today like they said, I guess I'll be walking to the bank's ATM in the dark. Wonderful...

Are you sure about that? I've contacted support and asked them about that and they say, that when I hit 100$ I can take them, doesn't matter if part of it is from previous period. I asked them two days ago.
I think Alice is right, the support is definitely not good. You thought SM support was bad..... lol ;)
But yes like Alice said, it must be $100 in one period then they will send the rest that wasn't paid out. Kinda sucks but if you can't make $100 in 15 days, it's definitely not worth it.

Ive noticed they do that when theyre watching me from a pm window and wont go in my room. When I leave my Pms on and I see in my members in room list theyre viewing from a Pm window and sometimes i call them out on it and im lik "im not going to give you specail attention when you dont even have the respect of comming into my room " or "Youre viewing me from a Pm window youre watching me from the lounge have a million other girls up on ur screen and have no intention of tipping" then they always call me a bitch or say they were going to tip but I have shitty attitude and I'm getting nothing from them now and they leave. And yeah I do get a lot of hi and this and that messages but I dunno of this is my own trip or what but I feel because my cam score is low I need to give more and I'm trying to figure out what I should do about the Pm thing
Yeah, if they're watching you from the PM Viewers list, they're not tipping you, AND they have the nerve to PM you a bunch of silly "How u been?" messages, that's unacceptable. People who aren't even chatting with you or tipping you don't deserve the personal attention that goes along with sending a PM. A long time ago I had this guy on there who would never talk in public chat, and instead he would PM me to death every time a thought popped into his head. After asking him to keep the PMs to a minimum and to talk in public chat, he refused and he said "Well I don't wanna talk to those dudes...I wanna talk to you." Clearly, he had no respect for the fact that I was WORKING. I either ended up banning him or just removing him from my friends list (meaning he couldn't PM anymore, since he was off my friends list).
A lot of MFC models will tell you that there are some needy guys on there who act all butthurt if you don't cater to their every need, like they think you're their girlfriend or something. I guess that's part of the reason I stopped offering phone calls as a raffle prize...guys getting all attached, thinking we're gonna become phone buddies now, telling me "Call me tomorrow, Shelly." Um, no...who said anything about tomorrow? This phone call is one time thing, buddy...lol.
I don't want you to think that just because your cam score is low, that it means you have to put up with shit you can't stand. If you feel that your PMs should be limited to certain people, then do that. I would hate for guys to try to take advantage of you.

I have a lighting question. Right now my lighting is pretty crappy. I have a big stand up lamp (floor lamp) and it gives off awful glare. I'm constantly adjusting it and I need to figure out something better soon, but where is the best place for lighting to go? Should it go behind me? In front of me, beside me etc? I just can't get this right and its pissing me off. I either look way too white or dark as all fuck. I know this has to do with my cam too which I am in the process of upgrading. Any help/suggestions appreciated!
