Im just honest and say its time of the month, if it;s an issue I let them know when Ill be doing them again. It does lose some business but I can still do well tbh
I take my birth control pills back to back I know it doesn't work for everyone, but it definitely put things on a consistent schedule so I could work all year and I am taking less time off because of my period

That’s odd, I wonder if it was the type of pills? Mine are monophastic and were prescribed for taking continuously (although they are not normally taken that way)

Maybe I'm super tired but I cant find the thread on splitcamming. I have a HD 1080p logitech and would log to split cam. Can we with SMconnect? And which program is the best to use? I only want to split two sites.

personally i just do one live site and run 3-5 non-live sites at the same time. that way i can focus on the live chat and also make money between indie shows.

Does anyone use a TV as a second monitor? Tried this today and the TV said "no signal hdmi1, check source". And the computer was not detecting it) in Display settings, Windows. Any ideas?

Hey girls. Okay this a somewhat legal question, but here goes, Do you need to trademark your name? I'm curious. My end goal is for THIS to happen: say I die tomorrow, I want my husband to still make $$ from my pornhub/manyvids, xvideos those things. So, would trademarking my name help with that happening. (We are have our wills done this year too)
If trademarking my name doesn't matter, no big deal.
I just really want my husband to still make "my money" after I pass away. sorry it's talking about those kinda hard to talk about life events, but it's a real concern in protecting myself/$$. thanks for any input on this.

Trademark law is very complex and specific. I'd contact a lawyer and ask them. fair warning, legal zoom is kind of a shit show so i'd avoid it.

Hey girls . I always used my paypal account ONLY to buy stuff , never sold anything . Now, there is one guy that want a customized clip ( im not yet selling content anywhere) and he suggested to pay for the clip through paypal. What he can see when paying me? Is not about him charging back his money , he is 100% thrust worthy BUT, i do not want him or anybody to know my real information: my name, my address or such . So what he will see when sending me money through paypal ? Thank you .

DO NOT USE PAYPAL FOR ADULT SERVICES EVER! they can easily get your name, paypal clearly does not allow adult transactions in the ToS, he can chargeback at any time, and your account will be seized by paypal (you will not recieve any funds you have on there either and will receive a lifetime ban). don't do it. no customer is 100% trust worthy and if he has your personal info (which, again, he will easily be able to get), you could easily have a stalker on your hands. don't do it. there are tons of xxx friendly payment methods that do not have chargebacks and where your personal info is secure: indiebill, manyvids, unblur, etc. just to name a few. no customer is worth risking your safety for EVER.

Just saw this. Hopefully you got it figured out by now.
I have had this issue in the past.
This is what I have done to fix it.
1) Check the cables in the back of the computer and the television
2) Check Display settings in windows
3) Check and possibly change the source on tv
4) Check graphics card drivers and the display sources.
5) Power off pc and tv and turn back on

What’s the best way to deal with guys who come into your room and start offloading or talking about really depressing stuff?
I’ve had two today and it was really draining. They weren’t paying and never have but I didn’t want to just ruthlessly ban or mute them as that might upset them even more! They are human after all! But I also don’t have the energy to listen to it lol. I just logged off but that doesn’t really help me as I’m trying to money haha. What’s a nice, tactful way to say something?!

Tell them to go seek therapy, :) then block them... Just another form of energy vampires, if it's draining you eject them or block them. If you don't they'll take you down with them with no remorse. They're obviously too "depressed" to spend money / hit the tip button to spark some serotonin while being emotionally draining why bother?

Strategies to deal with that:
1) Redirect the conversation
2) Take a break to save your sanity
3) Focus on other members entering your room and hustle them, or pretend you are having a conversation with someone else.
4) Let them know in your way- that you are there to work. They can tip you for your time and energy.
5) Offer for them to go for a show where they can talk about it
6) If they keep pushing after you have set your boundaries- kick, block (you are not therapist.)
7) Ignore- pretend you are messaging someone.
8) Adjust the angle of your camera- taking it off the face, or the eyes in particular.
Hope this helps. I have had to deal with this issue and it does come up from time to time.

^Minimum human thing you can do. Tell them therapy and finding the right medication is the way to go, then proceed to ignore that draining nonsense.
Hun, you can't save them all, so don't worry about it. Some of them just want to put models in a bad mood. Venting on a porn website about mental health is not quite an adult approach, unless they are actually close to you and spending time with you makes them feel better.
I have a widow customer that tells me all the time: "You are good for my depression". Thing is, he does spend and always tries to find entertaining subjects to forget about his mental state, so he's not a bargain for me.
But talking negative left and right, no boy. I already have my own shit to deal with, I'm not responsible for other's state of mind.

I acknowledge their mood however state that type of energy isn't permitted in my room. It may appear calloused, but my mental health is just as important as theirs. When they refuse to cease I kick. If they come back upset: block (this rarely happens).

I have a couple of miscellaneous questions and hope there not too ridiculous.
1. When split camming with multiple sites and somebody wants to C2C on one and I want to still stream on the other sites and their audio is, well audible, can those other men on the other sites hear it? I don’t want them hearing this of course, so at the moment I’m muting the others just in case.
2. I have a few guys who skype and pay me direct and I’m building these indies up slowly but surely but they randomly message me to see if I’m available to cam at all times and I’m missing being able to cam with them. Would it be wrong or indiscrete to message them on skype weekly my availability?

Yes, they will be able to hear the customer with his audio enabled. Muting the freechat site or whichever isn't paying is probably the best choice in that scenario.
2. I have a few guys who skype and pay me direct and I’m building these indies up slowly but surely but they randomly message me to see if I’m available to cam at all times and I’m missing being able to cam with them. Would it be wrong or indiscrete to message them on skype weekly my availability?
No this is not wrong at all. This is exactly what I do. I don't wait for them to contact me. Instead I hit them up first. It's even better when you can get an email address for newsletters. Create a shout-out message with a link to your payment page and maybe a video/pic teaser. If you have a website then create a blog update with your availability times. Think about how stores like Sephora send out messages and then work from there.

I've tried even entering their member number and send instead of name as the contact isn't there. No dice. It's frustrating as I'd like to reach out but can't until they do.
I heard you might be able to send vids this way, but I don't have vids available to send.

Exactly. I've had great shows with high tips from new members whom I've tried to reach to send an image or two. What I do now is when a great show occurs I mention immediately at the end "Please send me a message. I'd like to send you a couple pics for such a great show." Interesting enough...these members end up coming back.
I think it's vital to be able to approach them first, as some whales don't press for extra attention after shows. I'm feelin you sis.

Question about a quote, posted on the 'Raise your rates' thread... I thought I understood but I actually don't. Forgive me as I'm still functioning on a civilian how to stretch my paycheck this week mindset mode lol.
Think about what you want to take home after everything is taken out, your low goal should be what you need to pay your bills, medium is bills and building your emergency fund and savings, high goal is whatever the fuck you want it to be. Work backwards from there to see what you should charge per min.
So I've been thinking about this for a while & would like some help with curating a game plan.... How do you set something like this up? OP & others can PM or respond on thread, but I've been sitting racking my head on how to do this, I'm not the best with numbers & math heh. Is this calculated by how many hours a week you work? splitting the bills up by 4 weeks & set a lo/hi goal for each day? I'm not sure how to formulate numbers in an efficient, beneficial manner. Any insight would be great. :D
Do NOT base it on what you think you can get, but what you WANT to get
I started out with the "what I think I can get" mindset, instead of the later. Camming is just bonus money for me as phone sex is my main staple, & I can do gold shows as well btw. So honestly I have the luxury of charging more & tweaking the numbers if needed. Also when do you realize your price is too high vs. just shitty traffic?

I would think if you had a lot of traffic but no conversions, then you'd have to look and see if price is an issue. First I'd probably check and see if it was a technical issue or if my selling skills needed some work.

I just put up a video listed as $44 (17 min fetish) and somebody has gone and bought it. ;D I'm certainly going to post more now, I only have a couple on SM, all expensive but not that expensive.
On the other end of the scale there's performers giving them away when people join a gold show.

I had seen it being discussed somewhere on a thread but can't quiet remember the correct term for it? Where would be the best place to get a Camera arm? Those extenders that you can screw onto a desk and get better camera angles, another reason I took a break from camming is because I could never get a damn good angle and I had to either stack items up on top of a clothing hamper and place the camera on top. Or just suffice with placing my camera on top of laptop which was a load of bull. It sucked at the time because I didn't have a wireless keyboard so I'd have to jump up mid dildo fucking to type & adjust the screen to read and adjust the cam on top of the laptop closer to me & was so fucking annoying. Now I have a keyboard & I feel like I'm allllmost where I want to be with my set up. Something relatively mid priced? I've looked them up before and can only find dirt cheap ones on Amazon or really expensive $100-200 ones. I'd like to invest in a higher quality one down the line but, not right now lol.

Question for current cam girls:
I'm an sw & I have an incall in my city that I rent by the hour or by the day to other sw's. Since the corona virus covid-19 shit hit work has dried up for everyone. So my incall is sitting empty at exactly the time when I have no bookings of my own. I have been reading on various forums that a lot of the clients & girls both have turned to camming while every stays home. So my question is this: do cam girls need different spaces to work in, or does everyone always work from home? If so, what are they looking for in a rental? Thanks for any & all insight xo

first: check zoning laws
models are able work from home, physical studios if they are in your area and alot are set up to take a % or charge a room fee , models rent a small apt, some live at home with their parents or young ones and have to sneak it in by working around family
The more limited you are foe resources , the less likely it will be a booming business
phones sex, sexting, onlyfans acct, manyvids or clips4sale are good to check out
Id weigh the pros and cons, read threads here
huge con: you will be found on the internet

I'm not sure if I was clear in my original post. I don't want to become a cam girl myself. I just want to rent my space. I'm wondering if the camming community rents incall space like sw's do.
