Since I didn't wisely use my "New Model" status the first week, does that mean I'll fall waaaay back into the back pages of CB and it'll make it harder for me to get any sort of viewers?

no its not like mfc theres an average of about 300 models on at a time during the day ur placement goes up soley by the numbers of viewers if im not mistaken its that or its the main factor. u just wont be up on the top page anymore no matter what just build ur fan base up be on at the same times everyday be consist . something that has been helping me not be a bitch on cam with the grays but still keep them happy and help the convo of the room is use the auto moderator bot

Hmm. Okay.
Also, is there a way for the people who don't broadcast to search for specific cams?
Or how does that work? Like, if you wanted to search for Asian girls, is there a way to do that?

i dont think so were all mashed up like mfc u could try doing a search but i think it only a model name search i know with mfc the search diggs into ur profile for tags and stuff too not sure about cb as ive only used it to look for models by their name

Wow that is awesome. Good for you. I am lucky if I make that much in a pay period on there so I rarely go on now.

Hi! I'm just starting to use Chaturbate, and am still trying to figure things out. I have a Logitech 9000 cam. When I log into my chat I need to move my cam like 4 feet away (which I think is far!!!) just to get a normal view. My cam controller shows its totally zoomed out. On streamate I cam put the cam 2 feet away to get the same view. Is there some way to fix this like a special setting that I don't know about? Thanks!

Has Anyone not received their pay? I have direct deposit but have yet to receive pay and today is day 7 . I never had issue with getting pay asap when i used payoneer but now seems like every since i switched to direct deposit it takes even longer to get paid.
Am i the only one who hasn't got paid for 0ct 1 - 0ct 15 pay period?

Just curious, are you allowed to give out your other links in chat on Chaturbate? Like could I advertise my clips4sale while I am streaming on there?

cymone: I haven't got my direct deposit yet either and i'm not happy >:(
TXCamgirl: I don't think you are because of the nature of clips4sale. I've found the best way to get people from cb on a clips site is through twitter (which you can put up a link for on cb).

So i see Chaturbate still loves paying models late. Just keep emailing them daily and be very stern about it. Thats what I had to do. Im hesitant on broadcasting again though... Because I need all my coins asap.

I'm having issues with ppl losing connection in my room and i dont know why i did a speed test and my upload speed is 16.88 when i did it about an hour ago . this has been on ongoing issue and is effecting my money because they see my cam offline and then i get blues leave and they dont come back most of the time or i see the same blues come and go all night and the never tip either they're one token blues and are broke room hopping or they dont want to tip because theyre worried about missing what they tipped for. i know it does this because my friends on the site will tell me and its an almost daily thing and some night are worse then others . there are times ill have a room full of grays and my room is a revolving door of blues and id really like to fix this issue but not break the bank .
i do reboot my comp before i go everyday and the ram is maxed out at 4gigs.
here are somethings that i can try but they require money. basically I'm asking for the possible culprit or is it CB just CB and i have to just roll with it? it just seems like its on my end because when i watch other ppl it rarely happens to them and its an almost daily thing for me so i think its me and want to rectify what ever is the issue.
1) better net service
2) buy a router from the store (we're renting one per month from our ISP)
3) upgrade my comp (my comp is Pentium 4 processor) upgrading would require be getting another another mother board for my 775 socket processor about ($100) or getting a new I7 processor for my 1155 socket motherboard ($300). Im planning on doing both eventually tho but trying to hold off because theres other things i want to get taken care of first and ive put a lot into upgrades already on these comps that have caused strain with my 'relationtionship' with my roommate. he doesnt like the fact ive been putting so much money into these machines and its been holding me from doing some things that ive wanted to do .

ok:
There is a glitch now that takes you offline [ but makes it appear as though you are broadcating just fine on your end] the only way to really notice it is to
1. rely on your pervs to tell you
2. pay attention to your room count. If it is suddeny dropping type into the chat and ask the room if you're offline/ if they can see you. If they can't refresh.
It's annoying but it is what it is.
The other thing I would suggest is restarting your computer after you have plugged in your webcam right before you start camming. If your comp is having trouble recognizing the cam [ esp if it's an HD ] it will make your framemerate crappy and glitchy and more prone to dropping. Restarting it once a day is a good idea. But restarting it right before cam time with cam plugged in is bestest. Lastly if you are running an HD cam at HD resolution on chaturbate and your computer is ..lacking [ ram doesn't mean much what you want is a good video card] that may be an issue as well. It may be better to bite the bullet and stream in a lesser resolution. Sometimes chaturbate can't take a lot of HD cams at once so weaker connections suffer.
Lastly, as a rule of chaturbate thumb, if people complain about lag, audio, ect, make them refresh first. Also confer with your room in general. A lot of pervs on CB try and blame the model or chaturbate for the framerate when really it's just that they need to refresh/ their connection sucks/ they need a better computer.
Hope that helps! Pm me if you still need helpz

Ok fixed the cam!!! If anyone else is having serious issues on chaturbate [ like you have an HD cam and it's not streaming pretty, is super choppy/laggy or you don't really understand the webcam interface] message me. I may be able to help =D
ANOTHER friendly tip: The broadcast FPS should be largely ignored. I find that it doesn't give me a very accurate idea of what my framerate really is and most of the time unless I see the cam freeze it's fine. I spent a LOT of time fretting over the FPS only to realize via my pervs that the camera was crystal clear on their end Henceforth I mostly ignore it and you should too =D

Thoughts on Fan Clubs...
Do you use the CB one? Do you create your own?
Do you do monthly/annual/lifetime?
How much do you charge?
What do they get in exchange other than being connected to such awesome ladies?
I am trying to decide if this is a money source I am missing out on so any thoughts would be appreciated.

From my understanding they aren't paying models late.
You are promised your money by the 22nd and the 7th. Usually I always get my money on those days. I've even gotten it early a couple of times. The only time it is late is if the 22 or the 7th fall on a Sat. or Sun. then, I get my money the next business day.
Sorry if someone already said this I just noticed several people complaining about late payments. Now, if you're getting your money way later than the 7th or the 22nd then yes you're getting paid late but I have never once gotten money later than those days.
If you're using payoneer it could take them longer than that to process your payment but I doubt it (I don't know because I use DD).

10-23-2013, 11:46 AM
The problem is when they say they sent payment on the 18th . And most ppl with direct deposit didnt get paid until the 22nd. Its a communication thing. Plus with Payoneer i used to get paid within 2-3 days vs the full 7days.
Direct deposit was spoken about as if it would be faster and easier for models.
So for me I'd rather deal with fees from payoneer bc i always got paid b4 the email came out regarding payment being sent.
IMO they are making all these upgrades to the site and why can't there be major upgrades as far as paying models faster , better communication, etc.

Thats your bank cymone. The payoneer $ gets there the day they send so we know they send when they say they do. It's just that your bank delays. Cos banks SUCK
Direct Deposit is faster than checks and wires. The direct deposit is as fast as your bank allows and as fast as it can be. It's not chaturbates fault that the bank wants to hold your funds for the interest. They're dicks! Payoneer for the win =)

Do you mean CB fanclub? Cos THAT one is good for content [vids pics] that you post. It's like access to all that for a monthly fee of your choice.
I THINK though you MAY be talking about board fanclubs [ like how people have a single big tip and keep a list on their profile of those who tipped for it] ...are you??

Actually its not my bank .. I called my bank on the 18th and no funds where actually deposited until the 22nd . There was no hold for any checks/deposits from chaturbate either. And maybe your not one who actually uses Direct Deposit. Because there was a whole slew of models who didnt get paid until the 22nd. I seen myself via pms and chaturbates mentions all on twitter.

Are they sending out the ACH on the 18th? If so those do usually take a few days to hit your bank. I don't think DD is any faster than Payoneer payments to be honest.

I use the Logitech c920 and turn off HD, it works great without HD. HD can slow you down on many sites. You must run very high speed internet to keep that HD going good.
I never had a problem on cams etc. When it came to Chaturbate I had to turn off HD and no more problems. The cam is great quality, so no one complains.
I had a few guys say I was running slow on CB back in the day. I just told them to refresh and they had been fine then. I never went offline. Guess I got lucky. Actually... yes when CB does updates it will slow you down bad, or bump most performers and customers off for a time. I did have many nights I could not log on, many images of performers had not even loaded. That was an update I was told. Seems that had pretty much slowed or stopped towards my end of camming.
Also as far as Fan clubs on CB, I turned it off. I made more money with no commitment other then reaching goal. I liked to keep it simple. Fan club members can become a pain I learned, they want more, more, more! I put up vids and pictures and they sold fine. Ran a special on them at times.
Key is to keep it simple or you may get bothered by some customers.

To me this sounds like your bank is just being a bank. When they say no funds are deposited they mean they're taking their time. Intentionally. For interest. It's the way of banks.The transfers are set up as such. Digital $ should be instantaneous but then the banks wouldn't make as much off it. I had a rather amusing conversation with the bank about this. It's a completely unnecessary standard practice. But there's not way to change it coooos it benefits them. The fine print is " no funds were deposited until the 22nd... well it was sent to us on the 18th but we take 2-3 days to process so it didnt drop until the 22nd" I dunno talking to girls who go direct deposit they are always consistently 2-3 days behind when I get my payout from payoneer. I also do direct deposit for mygirlfund and it's very consistent to that observation as well. ALSO 18th was a friday and banks don't do weekends. So it makes sense that it took 3 business days rather than 2. The earlier in the week chaturbate sends funds the faster they come in general.
It's definitley the bank. It's just a moot point because unless everyone rises up and demands their digital money arrive when it ACTUALLY arrives it won't change.
Do payoneer. They deposit instantly because they make their $ from their additional fees. It works out the same. And if you want your $ faster paying a lil extra is fine when banks wouldn't allow that.

well cymone with your 46 posts and obvious seniority on this forum, I'll be sure to never ever post again!! I'm sorry you don't like the honest things I say. Many other models have found my advice very helpful and have continually come to me personally for help with being the best cam model they can be. Plus I don't care what you think. I'm right and you don't like it and I suppose if chaturbate DID take away direct deposit then it is a moot point. Payoneer for the win =) I'm here to help not to troll. You're just reading it as negative because maybe YOU are a negative person. I assure you I am one of the most positive people you will ever meet. Watch my show sometime =)

I'm not negative and there is no seniority on a forum. This is actually my second account thanks as ive been on stripperweb since 2010.
but the point being is when giving advice why give it if its no relation. you were speaking on direct deposit as if you had experience with chaturbate .
thats why i said what i said nothing negative about it just being honest just like you ;)

Hello! Last night I did a 50 minute private show at 30 tokens per minute. 50 minutes times 30 tokens per minute is 1500 tokens. After the show I had received less than 1000 tokens. I looked at my token record and saw that some minutes the customer was charged 30 tokens and some minutes he was charged 25 or 20 tokens. How is this possible if I have it set for 30 tokens per minute? Is there some discount for longer shows or something that automatically kicks in?

[shrug] it depends. It's definitley gotten a lot more competitve MFC style [more insane shows, games] but the fact that CB has their apps and bots makes games easy as hell so it's MUCH easier to be interactive with your audience as opposed to MFC where you have to make your own boards or use manycam or some such...
I like chaturbate because it still manages to have a nice middle ground. I know both cammodels who do well free chat style and ones who do well private style. That being said it has a HUGE community feel since broadcasters can use their tokens to tip OTHER broadcasters. I feel this is the MAIN difference on chaturbate. Because essentially you can help other cam models and they can help you! Get a bit creative and it can go a LONG way!
On MFC [ at least, when I worked there about a year ago?] it was common practice to block models from your room. Entirely. Girls there seem very secretive about what they do and they don't want people stealing their "ideas" or something. Im not judging I did it too because it seemed smart. There is also the issue of models who get bad placement scamming on your tippers by pming them in your room.
On chaturbate, it's different. In most cases it's frowned upon to ban broadcasters from your room unless they are pming your fans/advertising in your room beyond " I also broadcast". It is, of course, your room and your choice, but because of the overall feel of the chaturbate community, it's usually seen as a dick move and generally makes it real obvious that you just hopped off from the MFC boat. The attitude of model to model is different. Your PERVS can broadcast for tokens as well, so thats something else to keep in mind.
Also, you have to set your own webcam for optimim streaming. Chaturbate doesn't do it for you like most other sites, they let you do it. I notice a LOT of new girls don't realize that [cos they aren't used to the option] and complain their cam looks crappy on chaturbate. [pm me of you're having cam issues on chaturbate vs other sites. it may be a real easy fix]

I don't think chaturbate is similar to MFC beside the token thing otherwise is very different. Yes games and being super loud and fun helps. But I mean, at least for me, some times I can sit there talking about anime with my fans and still reach my goal. I'm pretty low key myself. I also rarely go on cam because it's more of a side job for now so I can pay for extra expenses comfortably. And it's nice to know that me being off for three weeks doesn't equal me worrying about my cam score going down.

Wanna hear a funny story? So, I signed up for chatterbate over a week ago, and decided to start broadcasting there on the weekends. Well, every time I would "broadcast," nobody would come into my room, which is odd, because I usually get visitors within minutes of broadcasting my cam. Well, tonight, I noticed the "start broadcasting" button.
We'll see how things go. I'm on a break. Going to go back online after I check my snail mail and eat something.
