I read through this thread the other day but had some issues when I tried to login and can't remember if I seen this earlier, so please do not tar and feather me if it has been asked a million times lol. How do I change my room topic? Idk if it was me or the site was having issues, but it kept going to a default of my screen name and that is it. I'm not sure if I done something wrong or if it was a glitch as I was having other issues as well. Members were coming into my room and could not see me, but could hear me? And they also stated that I had nothing in terms of room topic. That is where we put the will flash for so many tokens, etc right? Maybe it is just me but CB is not as user friendly as I thought it would be....

you should be able to just put ur pointer on ur computer screen over it double click it and type in something new if ur using a bot or app that controls ur room topic every time u get tipped its going to change back to what the app or bot is programmed to make ur room topic say that might be whats happening

So I was checking out this site the other day after my friend says she makes bank doing this and streamate and I noticed a lot of couples on here. Just out of curiosity do any of you cam with your significant other on here? And if so how does he keep up and going for so long? I literally watched one couple going for what seemed like hours! I'm wondering if I could convince my man to do this with me but I know he is insecure about his ability to last.. :x

Couples camming has been really hit or miss lately. Too many fucking (moderator edit) giving it all away for free. We make pretty good $ on there but you can tell it's kind of slowing down for all the US/UK/CAN peeps. We're actually looking in to switching sites soon. All depends on if you're the flavor of the month ya know? Seems like the viewers only watch the free stuff now. Might be a little hard to get a stable of high tipping regulars.

I finally gathered the courage to get on CB for the first time to sorta get a feel for the site and I had a dead room since I never logged in as a new girl (6 greys at the most at a given time). I want to change my nickname on there, and I know for that I have to close my account and open another one. Does anyone know how or where I go to close my account?

Every site has girls that give it away for free. I wrote in my profile that I am a softcore model and this light blue member asked me last night "you do know what this site is for right?".. I wanted to tell him is it a dating site? Lol but I abstained.. Hate to admit it but he totally mind fucked me in a bad way with that comment (it was literally my first time tying CB and second time trying a token site). Thank you for the info.

To say that it's X group of people that give shows away for free is...asinine. I see models from ALL over the place on every site that do shows for hours, staying fully nude with no tippers, and never allow themselves to take that break to come back.
If I get to a naked goal and my pussy is on show and the room count goes us, but no one is tipping, I give them a X minute warning and tell them they better tip or it all goes away. Sometimes I warn them that I will get dressed again. Once the time has passed and my clothes are back on they have X minutes to get me there or I log off.
When it's been slow I have been taking a break and then come back in a bit and give them a MUCH smaller opportunity to tip. When they don't, I log off and make videos instead. Chaturbate has done a MAJOR shift in the last 2 years that I have been on it. It went from being a big money maker to being a massively growing community. When I first started there were literally a handful of couples and when I cammed with my SO we did pretty well, now there's sooooo many couples that there isn't a novelty for it anymore. There were also fewer solo males, but now that they have reduced the amount of time that solo males are verified you will find way more males on and on towards the top of the page.
It's not a bad thing, but you're going to find that unlike MFC where top models continuously stay top models, Chaturbate top models have a shelf life. When I cammed on MFC a few years ago I noticed that the same models stayed in the top 100, now most of those same models are still there. While CB has a LOT of traffic, there seems to be very few that stay regulars, whereas MFC has viewers that stay in the same rooms for years. CB's top models have dipped down on the homepage and for one that used to make thousands of tokens within an hour, I have noticed that it takes her hours to meet her goals. Because it's not just a female only site, lots of models/couples sign up, make money very quick, then end up quitting shortly after because the tokens slow down or sometimes come to a complete halt.
I think CB is a good site to start on so you can get your bearings and learn what your hustle is, but in the long haul it's not a site you want to put all of your eggs into.

i tried to get age verification with chaturbate and they denied my id. it's my driver's license that i've had for forever. the scan i used was good enough for myfreecams and streamate. i cropped it to just the id and it got denied again. this is so frustrating.

Anyone else have problems with being pulled out of chat and issued warnings for random things? I was chatting and I got pulled out with a mod warning about everyone on cam being verified. I am alone, no pics on the wall, no pets, no music, nothing. I thought it was strange.

I had the exact same thing happen. Just me on cam and then I suddenly get hit with the verification warning. No matter how many times I emailed support about the issue all I got in response was a general, "check your account again". It happened so many times that admin actually unverified my account all together! I had to resend all my i.d. info just to get my account back. No apologies, no explanation. So if it happens again, try resending your i.d. to them. That's the only thing that worked for me.

You get the warning when one of the members reports your room, customer support rarely looking into seeing if the report is true or not. I've gotten the everyone on cam being verified one (I also cam alone), no skype warning (I dont offer skype while on cam there?), no yahoo (I dont mention my yahoo), oh and my very favorite: they banned me without warning for posting photos one time that had a pepsi machine in the background corner. I still cam there upon occasion because I love it for daily pay and sometime I have very good nights there. But as far as warnings and bans go, they are bullshit xD

Hi, does anyone have any advice for doing html or any good diy links? I just find fonts, download them, use paint, then upload the images elsewhere and post the html but there has to be a general diy Chaturbate link for html. I don't want to have to pay.

I've seen a lot of hypocrisy on my time on Chaturbate. I joined in October.
Back in October one of the top models used to take it in the butt with a metal baseball bat.... Now I get a warning for using an egg/bullet vibe that I've had for months.
Makes no sense.
At one point I decided to get kinky one night and fuck myself silly with a lightsaber, girl who logged in 10 min before me suddenly starts doing the same thing... In her ass. I got kicked off with a warning, she didn't. Like uh, what?
NOW, since about Wednesday of last week my best customer I've had in my entire cam life of 1 year and about 6 months can't buy tokens on CB. This is the 3rd time they've done this to him, he's even had his ID verified. He's emailed support at least twice. I emailed CB support Thursday afternoon, and haven't heard back so I sent my email a second time tonight.
Mind you, Shirley of CB WAS included in on this email. Both times. Epoch, which CB uses - works just damn fine on MFC for the guy. Is CB trying to chase me out?

you can be soft core if you want trust me. I know a girl that used to do 3000$ per period without getting naked that much almost at all and she s older than 30 :)
I've seen a girl, not exactly softcore, but who cams without showing her face but has an amazing body and seems to rake in the money.

I wonder if someone experiencing same fps drop when broadcasting on CB recently?
I used to scale down my c920 720p into 4:3 800x600 HD, 90% "quality", getting around 25+ fps at average.
Not any more. I barely get 10 fps at 480p, 90% "quality". The "quality" setting bar seems to be the main issue, because I am actually able to pull 25+ fps with even higher resolutions, when "quality" is set to minimal 50%. But it leads to a terrible pixelated image and no HD sign obviously.
Some popular cams are low fps for me too. I assume they're experiencing same issues.
ps. I've i7 based broadcasting pc, c920, 15% CPU at max load, 90mbps upload, bandwidth speed monitor, firewalls off
CB support is 38684: turn off your torrents

I have seen similar issues on other sites...a person will report you for something and then do it themselves with their own spin to attract custies. It is crazy and counterproductive!

I have a chaturbate account that i logged in once a maybe about 11 months ago but i had the account for about a year before then. My question is, is CB like MFC where you need that new girls status and youre better off starting over with a new account or can i just work my way up with this old one. When i got on before only 3 people came in and i was on for like 30 mins:(

Do you have grey chat on? that will kill your viewership if you don't.
In a lot of ways, I imagine cb is like mfc. You have to have the same "happy happy, joy joy, rainbows come out of my ass, carnival" attitude on there as you do on mfc. check your settings and make sure you have everything open for chatters and viewers. I've never had fewer than 50 people in my room after 30 minutes, even when i've just done hang out sessions. i don't think they give out new girl tags anymore unless i'm mistaken. The thing about cb is that you have to be a regular on there. sporadic appearances will seriously fuck you over and kill your earnings. Even if you only show up 3 days a week for 2 hours, the $ will start flowing.

I maybe the wrong person to ask, as it's been almost a year and a half since i started on there, but I was approved within 24hrs. mfc took 4 days, and sm took almost 10 weeks (because they messed up my registration and made me re apply not once, but twice).

It must depend on who or how many people are working, cuz my MFC was approved right away. Streamate's TOS freaked me out and I never completed the registration so can't say on that one. Anyway, I do think it depends on the work-load of the people who do that at a given time as well as documentation.

Anyone else have terrible traffic yesterday? I can normally pull $120 a shift on there and after two 3-4 hour shift, I barely made $30! like it was dead. idk what the deal was.
also, which browser do you use to stream on cb? I have always used chrome, but due to an error on another site, I recently got firefox. just curious if different browsers work better or are the overall preference for cammers on cb :)

Of course I do flashes. I recently changed times, which i think maybe the problem. I've done pw shows before. I'll probably give it another try tomorrow :) Had an ok day today, so I won't complain.

You should definitely be converting your tokens daily. That way you can track what you make and always make payout on time.

You can still convert them now and you will be fine. :)

I have a couple of questions if anyone has time to help me out.....
1. What affiliate link should I use? They give you the general affiliate link but then there is another page with different types of affiliate programs. The 20% rev share one looks the most appealing but maybe im missing something? The main affiliate link also takes you to the homepage if im not online....where-as the other links have the option of linking to my profile if im not online....
2. Do you girls have the 'Allow private show recordings' option on yes or no?
3. And the same with 'Appear on network sites'?
Thank you in advance!! xx

I've tried this site about 3 times, haven't made much compared to my other sites, but oddly enough had the most fun as far as the atmosphere and the guys actually talk lol. I also like the way you can appoint moderators and the different built in apps/games, which I haven't really tried but they look fun. I haven't given up on it but it's definitely not my main site.

lol! have you ever worked on a token site like cb before? it's a totally different hustle than sm/any other private based site. an hour at a time on this site doesn't really do it justice, nor does hustling for privates. public or pw shows are really the only way to go. And occasionally grays do turn blue (some of my best custies are this way). I normally give it 3 hours to make $75. hour 1 I expect $20, hour 2 is always next to nothing, hour 3 I end up with $75 on a bad day. once you have a schedule and regulars, it's rather easy to make $30-50 an hour average.

Now that I have some people who will mod for me, I'll let anyone talk most of the time. I don't get the premium members complaining about me talking to guests or members who haven't tipped that day a lot, and I have a few non-token carriers who are polite and contribute to the room with their conversation. For me, that's just as important as a tipper who stays silent. It still keeps the show going. Also since CB is more forgiving than the other token site... you can just sit there and wait for someone who likes you to find you... because your placement depends on the amount of people in your room. IDGAF if out of 90 people, 60 are gray, because that'll bump you up in placement, and bring in more traffic.
I have more fun here, too. The apps make it easier than keeping track of countdowns yourself... I see people make money here, but I still feel like the highest girls arent making as much as the highest girls on MFC. but MFC is like a competition, and I'm just not into that.

I remember when I started a year and a halfish ago, they had a chart that showed how much the top 10 broadcasters where making weekly. I remember the bottom number being somewhere between 32,000tk. A lot of the top cammers and busiest rooms are couples on this site now, though it wasn't that way back then. the site also has a lot more traffic now, so I'm sure the top solo girls are making more. Couples idk about... it's cutthroat and a bit over saturated in that category, so I imagine it the top one or 2 are banking while the rest really have to work for any kind of $.

Yes, actually, I have. MFC is my main site. I've never sat around for an hour on any site without paying customers coming in. When I joined MFC, tons of guys came in based on my new model status alone and many of those have become regulars. Didn't seem to make a difference on CB. I just have guys asking me to watch their CB cams for free, telling me that I won't get tipped until I'm naked (yeah right), and mostly just gray members coming and going after leaving comments or crude gifs. It'd be one thing if I just wasn't getting tipped in an hour. That happens sometimes on MFC. But an hour with only one paying member coming in, that's depressing as hell. I gave 2.5 hours the time before that and I think I made 7 bucks, most of which was from another model.
