Aren't tokens on there 5 cents each? That would be less than a buck a minute for a private show.
I'm always rebuilding traffic from scratch all night long as I split to 3 other sites.
I've recently changed my private rate from 30 tokens down to 18 tokens, which is also resulting in higher income. I do very tame shows (no dp, no anal), so wear and tear is minimal.

They were updating the site today. And yes like five cents per token but I started yesterday and made about six bucks. I was only on for a little while though and I'm sure I could have at least made fifty :)

They don't upload your vids. & pix. You do, it only takes seconds.
I have seen the notice about ratings too, but don't see any ratings. Eh, nor do I care about that stuff, I think CB would be better off with no rating system. The site seems to be not set up so much to rate people, since you have all types of people doing so many different things at any given moment. Also I think this will also stop a would be performer from signing up with the site. Many performers are so tired of the rating game. I am, means nothing. Too many haters out there for proper ratings anyway IMO.

Also can someone give me tips about doing skype shows? I need something that will work for mobile. And I really don't want to be scammed.
You can't sell skype shows on Chaturbate or they will ban you. Your best bet is to sell password shows for tokens, set the password, and stick to a time limit.

Is 500 tokens for topless or 1000 for naked asking for to much? How much do you ask for to get topless or naked? I've been getting a lot of complants saying that is to much...to me thats really low.
Hotniki123
04-23-2014, 01:11 PM
If you're just starting out I'd say it's a little much the most I've recieved for a show is 50. What I do is say that if someone has a request they have to tip me first before I do it.
Hotniki123
04-23-2014, 01:12 PM
1000 tokens = 50$ I think and most people won't pay that much because others prices are lower for the same thing.

1000 tokens is $100 for them to pay (10c/token).

Cam4 allows you to advertise Skype shows for tokens.

Myfreecams also allows that guys tip tokens for skype shows. I wouldn't recommend to do them through CAM4 as many performers there have been scammed with skype shows, tokens in CAM4 are in a hold for 3 days, just read the CAM4 thread where Kim said that skype shows usually end up as a chargeback / refund.

CB are asking for feedback on the new ratings thing so we should all let them know we don't like it.
I've had guys leave feedback but I have no idea where it shows.

Sometimes it takes few minutes, once it was about 10 days - my pictures were really long time in status "pending approval".

That's nothing. I dress in layer and normally don't do a full "naked" goal... keep your panties on so they have something to tip for. I find if you break up the goal, you'll reach it faster (ie 600 for top off, 800 for skirt, 900 for bra, 1500+ for cum show). if they see 1000tk+ and it's not a cum show, they normally wont buy into it.

For skype shows how can I have them pay and assured that they won't scam me? I've heard people who use paypal get scammed because people get refunds and take the money back. I've heard that amazon gift cards are nice but I don't know exactly how to set it up? I just don't want to be scammed! I use skypeepshow.com have any of you ladies used it? They have a coin system similar to chaturbate but some of they guys refuse to use it for some reason? Please give me some tips I really need to make this money!!

Firstly, DO NOT offer skype shows through Chaturbate for any reason. You're also NOT allowed to offer shows for amazon gift cards through CB. Secondly, never, ever, EVER accept paypal for shows. Your PP account will get frozen. When I do skype shows, I offer payment via extralunchmoney or customs4u.com. If they're a regular (say, after a couple months of doing shows for them) I offer giftrocket. I know some girls offer paxum as a paymnt option but idk exactly how it works (check out their site). I've never heard of skypeepshow to be honest. search through the threads and see if there's one up.

I don't advertise this on my cb account just through the other website I use. I've only made like 22$ on cb so far. I've heard of paxum but I suppose I'll look into it more. Thanks for the tips on paypal. Why will they freeze your account though?
tropo
04-25-2014, 09:52 AM
I really like Paxum because you can transfer money to your bank account at your leisure, which costs $50. Paxum is a bank account... . If you're in the US you an have a check sent for only $5 (lucky you if you're in the US). $50 is not too bad if you let your balance accumulate and do large withdrawals.
I use Paxum whenever I can (AW and CB). Unfortunately SM only does Payoneer, which is far more limited.
They will freeze your account because they do not allow adult services, and basically because they can.

When you have to pay the fee for paxum to sen your check to the us do they just take it out of your account or do you have to pay with a debit card or something? Sorry for all the questions it's just I'm a noob.

Here is paxum's website. https://www.paxum.com/payment/faq.php?view=views/faq.xsl answer should be on there. also look around and see if there is a paxum thread... the girls on it would be able to answer your questions better than the girls on this thread probably.

It's so easy with Paxum. You log into your account, go to "withdraw funds - by check". Fill out the amount you want on the check, the name on the check (must be your name - no 3rd party allowed) and a description. They cut the check and send it. The $5 fee will come out of your account. There's a warning not to describe your money as "winnings"
I'll attach a snap shot of the area where you send checks in Paxum. The 2511 USD CHQ you see is not my balance. That's the description of my checking account. The balance comes in the brackets, which I have erased). You can also withdraw by EFT: $8.95, and ACH for $5, these could be the best options as they are electronic transfers straight to a US bank account. Transfer to a Paxum MasterCard costs $0.25 and $2 ATM withdrawal, but you have to buy the card for $45. 37328

Question about video quality v/s size: I'm trying to upload my first vid to chaturbate, but am running into the problem of it being too big. Is there any way to reduce the file size without sacrificing a lot of the quality? I'm using windows movie maker, and I have to save the seven minute movie as "email quality" to get it down to the 150meg limit for cb. It looks pretty grainy. Which makes me sad.
Edit: Nevermind. I got it figured out. I created my own custom setting, which works much better than the pre-set email quality setting. :)

I am really frustrated with CB. I have attempted to cam on there several times and it's awful. I work on MFC and AW and never had any issues.
I work on Firefox when on CB and it sends my laptop insanely slow (despite what browser I use). The cam lags about 4 minutes behind and I can't click on anything else.
Is there something I am doing wrong? Is there certain laptop requirements?

I wonder if it is possible that you had the same problem as I was having on Tuesday and Thursday the week just gone. I just couldn't get a good connection, but it's OK now.
I do occasionally have sticking and slow connection issues on CB, but mostly it's OK.

^^mine was bad for the 2 days I worked last week (Tuesday and Thursday), and it was back to normal on the weekend. Perhaps there's a gateway problem with your ISP to the Charturbate server. You could try a VPN if you have access to one. When I had the problem a VPN improved my connection somewhat.
I know one thing, customer service weren't of much help.
Oh, yeah, before I forget, do you clear your browser cache regularly - that may help.

Chaturbate does cut in and out one sometimes when I'm broadcasting. I think it's because so many people broadcast at one time? Just a guess.

So today was my first day on Chaturbate.
I have a Loggitech 920 and good internet, but if I tried to stream in HD, my camera froze. I ended up having to use 800x600 (I think) but everyone said my stream looked fine. I had the expected begging dudes with no tokens, the guys who claimed I would make more money if I got naked for free, and a blue who decided he was in love with me, and spent the entire time in my chat room complimenting me, but not tipping of course.
However I got scammed by a guy with fake tips. It happened right after I logged in and hadn't set up any apps or anything. He posted some GIFs of fake tips and I fell for it. I knew the tips are highlighted, but I didn't know the user name was also supposed to be highlighted since I hadn't been tipped on there yet. Luckily it wasn't for a ton and all I did was flash my ass, but I'm still pissed I fell for it. :'(
I also had a guy try to scam a free show out of me by claiming if you make your room password protected anyone you give the password to will be charged by the minute. But I didn't fall for that one.
Even though I didn't make a lot, I really like the site and am determined to stick it out and make it work for me. :D

Hotniki123
04-30-2014, 10:37 AM
I don't know about user name changing but I'm sure it's pretty easy to just make another account with another email address and use a different user name. I use cb sometimes but lately I've been using skypeepshow and what you do once you get authorized it create an ad with your skype info and people send you messages over skype. If you do this though don't accept paypal! I use it and make my customers pay me with amazon gift card or western union before te show they have to either email me the gift card or the code and once I make sure and apply the gift card they get the show. It might be easier for you plus you can do it via iphone or smartphone.

Hotniki123 some girls here have been scammed with amazon gift cards, even after they added the card to their accounts, so it's not 100 % safe and also if you don't get the money from Western Union before the show starts the person who sent the money can cancel the wire.

So true. I only accept E-Gift cards. I have my email window open that accepts E-Gifts while working CB. As soon as a customer says he sent me an E-Gift I redeem and he does not even know it at that moment! I also have my list of items I buy from each site I purchase from and Buy it right there and then. These guys don't know, the honest ones don't care. I was scammed out of an E-Gift due to a declined card, nothing is 100%.

You should search in the forum about amazon gift cards scams if you don't believe me Hotnikki, the transaction is 100% sure when you receive your items, before that happens even if you apply the gift card as soon as you get it , the scammers can still reversing the gift card.

Track the items. If they are moving from point A to B you are good. He's the one who will get the notice about his card. I had a delivery I purchased sent to my home and the customer went bonkers (this was a couple years ago) saying his card was maxed out... that was his problem, he has to clear that issue up.
Redeem the card as soon as you get it, and buy very quickly! I use Prime which ships straight away.
His loss.
PS you don't redeem it, you buy....his loss.

Probably means tracking was not available if it was just shipped. I have items 24 hours later that I could track through my email. If you received the items you are fine.
As much as I have used the E-Gift card with customers, I never had one customer be able to take back a purchase as long as I redeem it asap and shop with it asap!
Lots of luck :)

There is no one best site. These two sites are very different. One is tokens & free chat based and the other is private-based. It depends on your personality and your own preferences. I would suggest reading more about them, there are many helpful threads on this forum, before signing up. Also watch some cams on both and get an idea of the atmosphere.
