Ummm I'm about to give up on Chaturbate. I just submitted my ID's 4 times. The last submission, it is crystal clear. Totally readable. Not blurry and they still won't accept my ID's. IDGI.
Hoping Streamate & MFC work out better............

Yay! Today was my best night on CB. Had 400+ in my room after about an hour. Stick with it ladies. I am experimenting with different times of day and going on for longer hours here. I used the multiple goal app and was reaching them so quickly! Hearing the ding of the tips going off was music to my ears. Week one back into the camming world and I'm loving it. It's still not enough to pay the bills but I will get there. Going to try a morning show tomorrow. And experiment more with some other games and apps in my room.

^^ A few weeks ago I had 2 days where I could hardly connect at all. I got the usual useless "clear browser cache", "use Google Chrome" etc advice from customer service. It came right on its own. I'd say it's probably an Internet connection issue to the Chaturbate server, wherever that is.

Chaturbate is very glitchy sometimes. At times they will do updates too, so you will not be able to log on at that time. Just keep trying to log or work at another site until the site clears up. I ahve had trouble logging in, running apps, and getting booted while working. Sooner or later I get back on :)

Normally it's just a server crashing I think. :p
On that note, I'm trying a midnight-5am tonight... lets see how it goes.

I wasn't suggesting it's a speed issue, but a gateway issue to the Chaturbate server. While I was having the connection issues with Chaturbate I was successfully streaming to 3 other sites and I have a slow connection.
This issue could be best explained by the analogy of driving a Porsche on a gridlocked highway. The speed potential of your vehicle wouldn't matter - you're going nowhere lol. Traffic jams are common on the Internet, just as they are on our roads.
One person may be able to connect fine while another cannot connect at all, because their connections to the server take different routes depending on where they are located and their ISPs.

Is anyone else on CB right now and cant get their apps to stay on? I keep getting the notification that they loaded into the room but they're not sticking. I've spent the past 90 min and no ones tipping because the apps arent working .

Chaturbate now has 1.3million (3.3million total) more visitors per day than MyfreeCams.com. 4000+ more backlinks than MFC. It's also ranked higher on both Google&Alexa. So girls on Chaturbate, would you say these 3.3million customers per day are actually spending or just freeloaded?
ConnyLove
05-14-2014, 08:47 AM
Nope Annie, I'd say that 1% of the 3.3 millions are dark blue. I did an experiment for a whole week ,I counted how many dark blues were in the top 15 rooms at different times, usually some of those rooms have between 3000 - 2000 people watching some even 4000 - 5000, and sadly no more than the 1% are dark blues. right now the first spot has more than 5000 viewers and less than 50 are dark blue. Obviously there are more freeloaders than in MFC.

Blue or grey, I almost always only get freeloaders in my room, but I also think that I am just not a token site type of cam girl.
I have noticed in a lot of top rooms there are only a few guys who do most of the tipping (like Conny said). I think most of the blues on there buy a small amount of tokens with no intention of tipping, or hold onto their last token to stay blue, because blues generally get more attention in rooms than greys.
justsometwat
05-14-2014, 10:39 AM
Absolutely mostly freeloaders. People that will never tip, have never tipped, and more than likely won't ever tip. I think that's what comes with them having SO MANY affiliate links and white labels.
When I first started camming there people had no idea what I was talking about when I said I was camming on Chaturbate. They were finding white labels with odd names and going there and had no idea that it was even chaturbate, so I doubt those people ever took the time to get tokens, much less figure out where they were.
Ever look at a room that has somewhere between 5,000 - 10,000 people? THOUSANDS of anonymous viewers, how much you wanna bet most of them do not even have an account - even though it's free?

I was amazed to see the Alexa results as I would never have thought Chaturbate would rank higher than MFC. The trend is very encouraging.

Any theories why the newer site (Chaturbate) is out doing MFC? More user friendly maybe?
Global Rank:
MFC: 549
Chaturbate: 332
That's a considerable margin which looks to be widening quite fast.

I think its just the way CB markets compared to MFC. I think that theres a lot of guys with way more money on MFC compared to CB but theres less curvy lovers on MFC then CB thats why I do CB over MFC and I will have a room full 50-100 ppl and only 1-3 of them will be tipping even tho I'll have about 2-10 blues in my room.

Has anyone had a chargeback? I just got my first chargeback where they subtracted 265 tokens from my balance. It was indicated as a complaint. The charge was for a private session.
How can a guy spend 13 - 14 minutes in private, then make a complaint? A complaint about what? Unfortunately I don't remember the private as it was at the end of a long night and I was tired. You'd think if he wasn't happy he would stop the session long before wasting 13 minutes unless he undertook the private knowing he would go for a chargeback.
I didn't realize that CB gave back money easily. Just in case any of you ever see CULEXHUNTER in your rooms, be sure to ban him.

05-15-2014, 07:02 AM
Well CB has also couples, men and transexual which means more traffic. Livejasmin is always ranked in the top 100-120 global and we all know the quality of traffic that they have.
Tropro you have to dispute the chargeback. I've had 2 chargebacks and I disputed both and got the tokens back.
tropo
05-15-2014, 07:06 AM
^^ Thanks. I have already sent them an email. It's quite annoying because I always put 100% effort into my privates.
What note did they leave for your chargebacks? How can you dispute them if you don't know what the complaint is about? Did they tell you?
ConnyLove
05-15-2014, 07:48 AM
They will tell you the reason when they reply to you. My chargebacks were one guy who claimed that he bought a ticket for a show and he couldn't attend it and the other was an idiot who claimed that he wanted to send just 50 tokens instead of 500. In your case it would be easier because it was a private ? if he was bored why he didn't leave within the first 3 mins?
smaddy
05-15-2014, 08:44 AM
Wait, what!? I thought Chaturbate didn't do chargebacks?
Chaturbate really needs to have a feature where nonmembers can only view cams for a certain period of time (free preview) and then are required to create an account on the site. I know Streamate kind of has this feature (you get a notice saying the model is in a private show when the model isnt, but you just have to refresh the page) But streamate doesn't allow public cum shows so that in itself gets members to sign up if they want to view. Due to the nature of chaturbate (free shows once goal is met available to everyone) it would make sense to do this. I think that affiliates would appreciate this change also, because then they are not referring members to a place they can just view for free whenever they want.
ConnyLove
05-15-2014, 09:20 AM
Yes Smaddy they have chargebacks but not often, is not about credit cards fraud but guys who want their tokens back for services not provided or the ones who claim that they were not happy with the service. I agree they need to do something about the viewers who don't bother creating a free account.

Exactly. If a guy didn't like a show for whatever reason, you'd expect he'd stop watching immediately, not continue to pay for 13 minutes and then ask for a refund. It's not like a tip in free chat - I was working hard in private.

CB is a chargeback free cam site. I have had two guys in a private who said they had been going to get their tokens back after the private. I don't do anal! It's very clear to them right off the bat, they both asked for anal sex. I emailed CB back then both times and said I had a guy (once over a year ago, one guy about two weeks ago) who was not happy, I do not do anal, my email back said I do not have to worry there are no chargebacks.
This is a way a customer gets a free ride on many sites, this also is a huge red flag when he stays with you in private over 5 or ten minutes! He has no right to get his tokens/money back! I have had guys bang out in a private in 3 minutes, or type thank you but this is not what I wanted. I have had guys WIN a free show being the highest tipper and he never came back for his show, but I always got my proper amount of pay.
Guys learn to scam easily. CB will not fall for this, also CB does not have many privates going at once because people do their thing in free chat. ALL privates are recorded by CB. They can clearly see his typing and what is going on.
Not sure what happened, but they actually are a company that does not have chargebacks. I have seen scams galore, that is grounds for a ban. That's all I ever heard of.
These wankers come from other sites now and try this shit wanting money back on ALL sites.
Tell them they are recorded in privates, I have. Not the recording they get, that shit is off, but by the site!

I left a site 2 months ago that kept refunding customers. I knew it was always the same guy coming back with different names. I even anticipated one chargeback and notified customer service about it. They ignored it and just as I expected the private was charged back. He was having the time of his life - long privates and got his money back every time. All he had to do was ask. One chargeback was for a private I had done nearly 6 weeks earlier.
I left that site after the chargeback tally had reached $170. Enough was enough. I lost confidence in the site and walked away.
It's all about confidence. It's very hard for a model to dedicate herself to work on a site when she's not confident she's going to be paid for her efforts. I was so worried about chargebacks on that other site, I could no longer work effectively.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the guy who complained here is an ex trouble maker from another site. Once they know they can get refunds the "fun" really begins because they start telling all their friends that they too can private girls and then get money back. It fucks it up for everyone. One of the chargeback customers followed me to another site, but he couldn't play the trick there as that site treats me well and doesn't chargeback under any circumstances.
I'm a very dedicated worker and I get really upset if I don't get paid for my privates.

Due to CB allowing men and women and tannies not just solo or g/g shows like MFC of course there is going to be more going on in free chat. Either way, pussy galore... members still tip! I always had my love hate relationship with CB since day one, but have played out many different scenarios with CB and always find one that works for me. One day I am at the top, number 1, and next day bottom of page. This all depends on what you are willing to do in free chat. You have many choices on CB password shows only for good tippers. These people showing and doing it all should not mess with your earnings.
I see a couple do damn well and show nothing, my profile is now very basic and I don't do masturbation shows in free anymore either. :)

Hey everyone! Just saw this post on CB's blog and thought I'd share:
We have recently changed our terms under Prohibited Conduct to include the following:
* Performers may not broadcast from a public place or from a studio or set that creates the impression that the performer is in a public place.
* Performers are prohibited from broadcasting outdoors unless the broadcast is done from private property, with the property owner’s consent, and in an area that is not visible from any neighboring property.
I've been bugging them to answer this question for WEEKS now, so I'm glad they've finally responded. Yay I can do outdoor shows!!!!

I am very impressed with their traffic (and yes I know all of that is not paying traffic) but the fact is is that I love token sites and the freedom that they give you. I love MFC but the camscore system is a nightmare... maybe I will find my "thing" here.

In my experience yes and I've heard lot of girls saying they don't watch cams for that reason , no sure if it's also an excuse because they don't wanna watch dicks. Most of the " baby watch my cam" are broke or expecting that girls visit their rooms one hour for 10 tokens.

Just pick up your favorites and add them to the favorites list, so when you go online you will find them easily ,the only one that takes me a bit longer to get ready is token keno with 30 prizes.

Im not an extremely sexual person and im looking for a platform where I can still get naked but be more 'softcore' I love the atmosphere of tipping sites but MFC didnt work for me :-( Has anyone seen any non-nude or softcore girls on CB? Do you think it has the potential to have models that arent doing sexual stuff?
justsometwat
05-19-2014, 07:40 PM
I RARELY do shows, I do flashes - typically just tits and hang out. I don't make a LOT of money but I make enough to pay bills with my partner also working. If you plan on sitting there hoping people are going to want to chit chat with you then you're gonna find that it's INCREDIBLY hard to make tokens. Chaturbate might have "chat" in it, but jesus fuck do people complain when you're sitting there not constantly stabbing your vagina with something. "do something" I hear that all of the time and goddammit it is annoying.
I mean, I am sure you CAN make tokens, but it's hard as hell to get anyone to stay in your room. You're going to have to offer them something, like videos or flashes, or they just aren't going to tip.
APPS & BOTS
Also, just before you log on (before you click broadcast) open all of the apps/bots you want to use, fill them out and wait until you're ready to broadcast click it and then start the apps/bots. It's easiest that way so you have a goal posted before people start coming in.

YES! Me. I only flash in free chat... so if you look for the girl wearing clothes most of the time, you've probably found me. LOL
I wouldn't say it's the best way to make money, but it's the only way I can splitcam to other sites which don't allow nudity in free chat.
