What is "Caught on Cam" on IMLive that we can be paid for?

I got my account fixed up and if I get back on there, I'm charging no less than 4.80 a minute, maybe even 5.80 considering all my shows are closed 1-on-1 and I do outcalls. The guys on IMLIVE are so cheap but on SM, the guys don't complain about paying me $5.99 + a minute. Maybe I'll find some pay piggies but my target group is not the cheapos!

What is "Caught on Cam" on IMLive that we can be paid for? Caught on cam was a feature where the guests could record your show and share it with the other members, and you got paid when everyone viewed the video. They could also take still shots, but we werent paid for those. I believe the feature has been discontinued though...

yeah I think so too, I havent been able to locate caught on cam any place on the member page. I thought it was just my eyes or something. guys can still record you and you get paid when they watch a video they recorded. You will see "guest recorded session" in your earnings.

ah, okay, thanks.
I've been reading more about IMLive on SW and finding out about happy hour and being paid.

Now, I'm averaging about $23 an hour (this may go down today because I'm making myself stay on cam but it's been really slow traffic today.)
I'm wondering-- how much money can you pull in doing Happy Hours? because you make what, like ten to twenty five cents per gift? and you're
basically doing a toy show or whatever during your time there since they don't want you just chatting.

how does this work and is it worthwhile more often than not? :)

Im with you on whered it go..i had it disabled before it went away, you must of had it enabled. I dont know where to go to enable/disable this feature, do the guests still get to record your sessions then yet still loool? xx

Happy Hour is a good way to meet new members. They get free HH bonus credits when they buy regular credits, so they will try a "new to them" face, or someone they have admired but not gone private with.

The "gifts" as they are called in HH, actually begin at $5, so the lowest amount you can get would be $1.50 @ 30%. They give us now a $6 flat hourly rate. If you get one gift during all of your HH, IML kicks in $4.50 toward that $6 flat fee. If you make over $6 in gifts during your HH, then IML doesnt give you any of that flat fee $6. I've heard different accounts regarding the amount of gifts received. Some people say they get usually get none. IDK, I did a quick HH and got a gift. Maybe asking for them helps.

As far as what to do during HH, most guys are happy if you are just responsive to them and get to know their likes or whstever. They can direct only a couple minutes then its next director. If they like you, they may take you private later...next guy, I start over basically. But yeah, a toyshow works. If they want you to do things you dont want to do & don't offer out of HH, just say no, if they dont like it, throw them out, (I think you can throw 3 an hour), most are cool with the no and move on.

I think is better to not concentrate on the amount of HH gifts you can make because that fluctuates a lot and its better to use HH (or happy 15 minutes lol) as a way to meet new members.

Alot of people would be happy with that income.I know cam models are used to making 100s a day, but so many people are working for min wage these days. I feel like we should be grateful to have this kind of income coming in. Millions out of work,etc. If you work a job for 8 bucks an hour in 8 hrs thats only 64.00 before taxes, so I think this is amazing to be able to make this amount. You made almost 14 an hour,not bad I say. Awesome job !

don't get me wrong...I totally want to make money today but I'm not all psyched about it. I'm in a good mood on cam but I'm also like, eh, they're not spending so I'm going to keep the window open and do internet stuff or read. I figure this way I'm still "winning" because it's eating up the required free time in chat.

I think I'm up to 46 hours from the last 12 days (though I did do maybe 3-5 hours in the few days preceeding that) and then this past spring which was the last time I used IMLive, I'd done maybe 16 hours. anyway, for this pay period it says I've been on 47 hours but then when I look at how much time I've done in free chat it says that I have a total of 48.22 hours done in free chat. so.....say I've done 66 hours total on IMLive...I'm not sure I've entertained for 18 hours of that leaving me only 48 hours in free chat.

I kind of think they're shorting me on my free time....has anyone had that happen to them?

Not sure what to make of it, but it made me think, had the system fully updated your times when you last checked it? It updates once after a while, but then a while later, it updates yet again..and I know, kind of makes it hard to know what our true hours online are when we need to know exactly, and quickly. Hang in there on your required hours, you will get it done.

Well, I noticed that it only shows how many hours you have completed. But I also feel that they've skimmped me on hours because I've had this account since 08' and though I haven't cammed very long each time, you'd think I've done more than like, 64 hours. I would take a screen shot and go from there. I notice that I'll split cam for like, 6-8 hours and it will say I was only in free for 3 or so hours when clearly it's been like 7.

I feel like the system is pretty accurate. the time will go by fast in flc. Just act like you're getting paid for it lol once you're through with the required time, you will be more relaxed, not feeling forced. You know, just go about you way and do what you do. I know its hard to sit there all day but it will be over soon. One thing I noticed is when I talk about real live stuff, like hobbies, what Im up to, plans for the weekend etc. I can fish out more potential paying guys, then when the ones who always ask show this, show that. personality gets you more .. best wishes to you

Is there a specific place to look in one's IML account to see how many hours of free chat are remaining, as well as how many minutes of intro period are left? I looked and looked and I feel totally stupid for not seeing it.

I logged in today for the first time, and it was a bit confusing. Guys did not throw themselves at me for privates, even at 98 cents a minute. Perhaps time of day wasn't ideal? (3-4 pm EST) I do ok generally on SM for being new at this, and during LJ intro period I felt like wolves were eating me alive. I got about 10 min from one guy, and 8 minutes from another so far. This I can see from the earnings page, but I do not see any other link that shows me what I've done total of intro period so far.

I'm a bit scared that this might turn into an experience similar to LJ where it took me a year to reach payout (my first 100 dollars there), with me logging in now and then and wasting a lot of time in free chat, but I will give IML a fair chance, unlike LJ, where I've always been put off by their many rules and requirements.

Also, what browser do you feel works best with IML? Seemed a bit laggy with firefox, so I tried chrome, but then chrome seemed kinda laggy too. Generally I find chrome to be a much more resource hungry browser during my off cam browsing times.

IML traffic can be kind of funny. I can sit in free chat for an hour with tumbleweeds in my room then barely get a break for hours. You just have to wait it out or try again later. I've heard that Firefox works better with IML but I don't notice a difference so I usually use Chrome.

Where do we go to enable phones? a lot of guys are asking me about this. Like on SM, where we can take calls from guys, I think we can do the same on IML, right?

And yes, a LOT of cheapos. I've had them bitch and moan about $3.80/min for a personalized sex show-fucking insane!

Yeah, Chrome is my favorite browser, but in the past when I've tried using ImLive HD mode in Chrome it wouldn't work. After I read posts where other ImLive models said the same thing, I figured ImLive HD mode just doesn't work with Chrome? So I use Firefox with it.

Ps. I use a software splitter whenever i cam and iml complained about it saying its detected and may degrade quality. Should i worry about it? I was so nervous about being there for the first time that i didnt even go look at myself and see if i show up in hd, etc. Paid for hfot spot and then ended up logging out. :( had some crap with dog fighting at home and i couldnt focus on work anymore after spending one hour on iml.

That message always shows up when we use the splitter, its worded like a warning, but its more of just a reminder. Aside from maybe being lower down in the host lineup, I would say you should not worry, especially if you have a hspot backing you up.

In the end, they pay the 3.8 especially with extras like phone. Theres no place you enable it on IML, you offer it with video on your own. I ask them for their number (Usa and Can only with my phone plan), *67 to hide my number and call them. I hang up soon as they leave prvt, dont let them play you for a lil more free lol they will try!

Back on iml topic, if one does not want to offer phone services but still stay reasonably busy, what should the rate be for a regular sex show with toy/sound? I was kinda hoping I could go for 3.80 but there is no way I am going to start calling these guys up.

Procrasturbator
11-15-2013, 04:04 AM
^ You can use Google Voice if you want to safeguard your real number. You can even get a number with the area code of your fake "city". But I rarely give phone shows (only if they ask--maybe a few times a week) and don't do toys and do fine at 3.80. :)

That's awesome to know Procrasturbator! I hope the next time I login to IML I will feel the love better from these guys. lol I have no problem using toys but calling people up is just not my thing. I have a phone phobia so even calling people I know is hard for me to do sometimes, nevermind complete horny strangers.

I'm at 5.80 for toys (both holes..lol) , phone (us and canada only) fetish, femdom, roleplay etc... .I don't think these guys realize that if you want steak, you gotta pay for it..I encourage them to join my discount club if they are going to bitch about my price..It doesn't cost them anything extra...they are a VERY hard sell on IML..I had one show today, made $5 but I was very busy over on SM...

I'm ok with 3.8 if I take one dollar per minute home, I'm not greedy. lol I'm new at it and building following so I feel that's fair. SM sucked donkey balls for me today, so I'm about to hop on IML to get some more of my intro period done.

You don't have to offer phone just because other models do. I have absolutely no interest in driving a car, and the thought of being behind the wheel and out in the road terrifies me. People have given me grief for it, but when it comes to something I feel that strongly about...in the end the decision is still mine to make, and the people harassing me about it can suck my dick. :P

I had done phone a couple times on ImLive a long time ago. I didn't like it and thought it was awkward. Some guys feel the need to ask a cam girl personal questions once they've got her on the phone, and some of them expect a phone sex experience. I don't do phone, and I don't do phone sex, so I'd rather just talk to the guys on the site via cam-to-cam. I used to do phone with this guy who would talk to me about the Hedonism resort in Jamaica, and how he likes taking women there so they can fuck multiple guys. He'd be like "Do you think you'd like that?," and I'd have to sit there pretending to be really interested...lol. He'd spend like 30 minutes in private/on the phone talking about it, and then when his credits were running low he'd immediately buy more to finish the conversation. In a rare case like that where the guy is willing to spend $100/$200 just talking on the phone (and I don't have to do any awkward phone sex), I might be willing to offer phone using a Google Voice or something to protect my own number. But I'd rather not bother doing phone with guys wanting a quickie 'jerk-off-to-her-voice-for-two-minutes-and-then-hang-up-abruptly' phone session. LOL.

ImLive should start offering 15 minute block sessions...not just 30-minute and 60-minute blocks.

BlueBunny
11-15-2013, 01:20 PM
Exactly BrownFox. I'm not a fan of driving either but I had to adjust to life where I am at because you're "dead" without a car. They can get us on c2c for voice, why the heck do they need phone too. I hear Google Voice can still be traced back to you so I don't even want to mess with that sort of stuff. I got 33 minutes of cheap paid chat left. I had two guys who seemed interested in going pvt but they were asking for toys and freebies in free. That right there rubbed me the wrong way, once because I was tired and forgot not to mention I have toys (I swore I wouldn't use toys for cheap again after my LJ experience) and second because nobody likes demanding asshats like that when I'm already at such a cheap rate. I ended up closing the broadcast before either one of them had a chance to go pvt. I feel soooo good about that. lol They can come back and harass me for shit when I'm at regular rates.

By reading your posts here, its easy to see you communicate very well, so 3.8 even without a phone. i know of hosts who get the max allowed with no sound no toy no phone no hd..lol

^ Mine hasn't either (which makes me feel kind of dumb now haha.) However in my earnings it says I was paid so I called Customer Service a few hours ago and he said that "due to the 15th falling on a Friday" it took an extra day and it'll be in my account tomorrow.

Which seems a little weird because you'd think if any day of the week would mess up pay, it'd be Saturday or Sunday? But that's what he told me anyway.

Sorry if I was unclear. I meant, I use payoneer, and they load it to an atm card . Some hosts have payoneer setup for direct deposit. The no payout on saturday thing always makes my card get loaded on sundays, and im not sure how the direct deposit method gets affected xx

I charge 3.80 and no longer use toys. I have sound or phone offered, but typically I type until im in the mood to talk lol I also dont dress up any more, usually just jeans or a sundress.
Maddie is right about the pay. If pay day falls on Saturday, they always send it on Sunday. They always post this announcement in the news section of the host page. I heard some hosts say to get direct deposit into your bank from your payoneer costs like 30-50.00. I cant remember, but it was too much for me.
Best wishes to everyone today
