I do have to say I like imlive. Ive never had a chargeback, but I had started towards the end of all that (I would guess THAT SUCKED). You can call customer service WHENEVER. There are never ANY trolls in my room like EVER. *knocks on wood* You can BLOCK them after they leave your room too.
I mean even when I have a little attitude/moody their customers are still pretty pleasant.Even after I blocked a guy from my room, he emailed me begging to come back in, but he was never rude, never mean. The days I dont want to freechat YOU dont have to...perfect for splitcamming! The prvt *dings* and you get to it.

The only thing I wish is they had live tipping in freechat....You can get tipped AFTER Happy Hour and thats it. If they would change that, Id be ALL IN.
One model did say in the forum that if they had tipping,girls would be getting naked performing out in freechat, but not if you make it a rule for topless ONLY?....or 30 second topless rule,I think? This would help a lot because once you build a following on any site, you can get tipped with clothes ON by admirers,we all know that....more money for us & THEM. OR some guys dont have time/are at work and can just drop a quick tip!
But hey, she may know better than me, I think she is one of those 22+ hour a day working girls, killing ME. lol. I may know absolutely NOTHING compared to her!

Can you sell videos on this site like sm/mfc/other sites or is it strictly private based? You can also sell videos made through the "Video Library" feature. (also called "professional videos"). If you have a splitcamming program with a feature that allows you to select a video file as your source, you could use it to upload a pre-recorded video. They cost the members less than the Live recorded sessions, but, if you remember to jack your rate to the max when you arent online, (unless of course you always charge 5.8 ) it i$n't too bad.

Actually, we can get tips from guests in regular private shows, as well as in HH.(Enable this on your "fees and discounts" page.) I do understand your point, but as far as 30 seconds of nudity in FLC, from all I have seen, they just dont monitor the free rooms as closely as other sites do, ( I stepped away on LJ for five seconds and the free chat police were there to arrest me lol) so it likely would end up a total "free for all" on IML, pardon the pun. :)

I think you are right!! & seriously I dont want them to start monitoring us. I recently had issues with flirt4free policing me and BASICALLY QUIT in a day. lol. I dont need/want a serious BOSS. I will have to check my page then. Thx!

Hey do you are they monitoring the Love & Romance section much? They have serious rules on that side, but from what I can tell, guys act like I do enough compared to other models, when Im just following "the rules". I also know guys will tell us anything to get what they want. So, Ive just followed the rules.

Maddie67
12-11-2013, 07:12 PM
I am with you 100% on not wanting to be monitored like a fish in a bowl. (I left Jasmin after my little incident). On the Friends/Romance side, (and the whole site in fact), there is no actual "unseen" monitoring going on in private chats, but they are very strict about things on the F &R side. I had a friend get herself disqualified over there, she was reported by a so-called "member", so yeah, best to follow the rules on that side of the site. Good Luck, and have a great evening.

Maddie67--Thanks for the idea about using a pre-recorded video through the cam stream! I've been avoiding that feature bc ick, live recordings. But that's an awesome compromise.

What's the deal with the friends & romance section? What do they do? Is it like non-nude camming or what? I browsed through there the other day and I still don't understand what they actually do in pvt.

Also... does anyone else's traffic suck serious ass lately?? My hours have been weird the last couple shifts so it might be partially due to that but for instance I've been online almost half an hour and NO ONE HAS TALKED TO ME. I've had 2 named users (no credits) come in for a couple minutes each and a couple guests, possibly the same one popping in and out. That's it. And this is with a hot spot. And none of them will freaking talk to me! Reading the traffic & self promotion forum is pretty grim too. :( (Even more than usual.)

You are quite welcome! ( Ive never been pleased with my RLS, always some funky part I wanna edit out ) .
Friends/Romance is exactly what you said ~ non nude camming. Most of them do beg for nudity, but I just say no no no, and they mostly stay in the room anyhow. (It turns them on to be denied? ) The dynamics are a bit strange to me, especially after working on the adult side, some of my regulars have found me over there, and put up with my no no no's, but all in all, its just a little extra money for practically nothing.
I take whats in the traffic forum with a grain of salt. Not to sound mean, but many times its 1. The same people complaining. 2. One hosts idea of slow may be a great day for other hosts. 3. You'll always have a few who post "great traffic" simply to discourage the competition. 4. One hosts idea of a busy day may be a very slow day to another host. But yes, lately its been grimmer than usual in that forum. ( In all honesty, for me, traffic has not been very nice lately. I wont pretend otherwise. ) The pp's right before Christmas have always been sketchy. This year has been particuarly tough (for me) . Many of my good regulars went AWOL, are MIA. Guessing things are simply rough all over, and people arent spending on fun like before. I know I have had to cut down some of my own frivolous pasttimes. Of course, other hosts may be knocking it out of the park. I'm hoping Christmas money comes to my members.
Hang in there.

This is a good question, and I'm curious about the answer to it too.

VeteranCamModel
12-12-2013, 12:24 PM
yes you can have an account on fetish and friends and romance. But as far as I know, you can not be logged onto both of them at the same time. And as Maddie said above, they do have very strict rules on the friends side, and you must follow them. You can and will have your account frozen. These guys know darn well, there is no nudity allowed over there, but they still ask. This is where you have to really talk talk talk and be flirty and act dumb lol
Videos do make good money too, rec sessions and videos library, your regs will check em out often, so always keep new vids up. best wishes to all !!

The thing about ImLive is that they don't do payments on Saturdays. Last month the November 16th payday fell on a Saturday, so ImLive models had to wait to get their money on their Payoneer cards the next day (Sunday, November 17th). Yeah, I thought it's weird that they don't do payments on Saturdays but will do them on Sundays, but I guess that's how things work with the banks over there in that part of the world (Cyprus, right?). I'm in the U.S.A., so I'm used to banks being open Monday - Saturday and closed on Sunday.

This month December 16th falls on a Monday, so you'll probably get your money on your Payoneer card that day. Customer Service always tells models they can expect to wait up to 48 hours for payments, but that's just to put panicking models' minds at ease. It sounds like most models get their earnings on their card the same day it's sent. I know I always do.

We were wondering why the sudden trolling and begging literally right when we are live has gotten worse. I wonder if imlive advertising via sites listed on google like: http://chat.sexcamforfree.com and skeet skeet skeet.com with the description "Skeet, Skeet, Skeet! Is an interative webcam site featuring some of the prettiest girls and boys in the industry. 100% live, nude shows! Sign up today!" Is misleading the guests to the point where they think imlive is totally free. Or in the case of shagaholic, their slogan is "casual dating site" in the search. No dating and no free explicit stuff in our flvc... On a different note: this thread has been so informative and we wanna thank everyone for posting! The imlive forum only goes so far and disappears quickly.

Yeah, they have always pretty much advertised us that way...(free)...even before there was free videochat, the emphesis was "join free, no cc required to join", which makes a host scratch her head for sure. Id say most people do understand that it isnt going to end up being 100% free, but the non-commital ads likely are good for getting the surfers in the door at least, as silly as it sounds to us.

On the flipside, a while ago, I saw a wonderful ad of Pussycash's in which the myth of free cams was discussed, and in the ad, it was made clear that hosts do not do this free, that we are doing a job, and any site that claims otherwise is tricking you. So I guess they are trying to cover all the bases.

And yes, this forum is awesome, helpful, very positive, much easier to navigate and its possible to speak freely here. Thank goodness for SW!

I get check on one side and Payoneer on the other. My money just went in my account this morning for Payoneer....Mine is a direct transfer tho. The check, Im not so sure, since that goes to a P.O. Box I dont check daily ( I think 3 days later).....I dont recall there ever being a delay tho.

yeah I love this site too. Where we are free to discuss everything openly. Well and they gotta do what they gotta do to promote us. I know sometimes it seems misleading but I always believe if someone really wants to see you, he WILL pay. Competition is fierce, all the sites fight for the same people browsing, and where they end up is a burden layed upon the site to get them to OUR SITE. I just do my best on each one, and pretend he is the only one I have to try to convince to buy credits. Competition is tough between hosts as well, grab every opportunity I get to keep him for myself tee hee

I have just created a video library. I only have two whopping vids so far lol, but has it been profitable for you ladies to do so without a huge following?

Maddie67
12-20-2013, 04:03 PM
Its basically hit and miss with earnings on my videos. I've had more up in the past than I do now, but they were nice surprise $. Sometimes guys watch them to get an idea of your live show, or when you are offline, and there are guys who do nothing but watch videos as well. They were for a long time sort of buried beneath recorded live sessions and mad videos, but Iml recently re-did the video collection presentation, maybe it will bring more views to our professional recordings. Also, a good video description goes a long way, even if you have not built up a large following yet. Have a great weekend.

The more things you offer the more money u can make. Offer everything you can. Make videos, rec sessions, mad videos, everything thats offered do it, if you dont have any sellable content, you cant make money. If theres only one book on the shelf, customers can only buy one book. If they dont like that book, they go to another book store. If you have 10 books to sell, they most likely will find a book to their liking. 0 books 0 money

^^^ I should work on recording some videos myself and remember to record my live sessions, i deleted everything i had in my video library cause that videos were ancient old lol and i changed a lot in between (got old and bigger compared with being thin and young when i did them lol).
Years ago ImLive used to work a lot better for me, not much lately so i did not invest work into it beside opening a live sessions in Private mode only.
Now that they changed the chargebacks policy and enabled tips in freechat i'll put some more time & work into it just to increase revenue but my main site where i make my money is SM.

The Mad Video competition is an optional feature where models record a video based on that month's theme. For example, a long time ago I did a Christmas themed one where I'm singing "Santa, baby," but I made it a little dirty where I'm like "Santa, baby...I know you like this tight pussy..." LOL! It got good ratings and reviews, but one asshole was like "Less singing, more action." The problem was that douche was expecting a dildo play video, but I specifically made my video non-sexually explicit (well, except for the "tight pussy" lyric...lol). With Mad Videos you can choose to have them be sexually explicit with nudity and toy play, or they can be non-sexually explicit. So it kinda pissed me off that the one dude got butthurt over the lack of play in my video. I guess he's too dumb or lazy to read.

I think the purpose of Mad Videos is just to do something fun to promote yourself and get a little more exposure, and the models who win get a prize. And like most things in CamLand, keep in mind that guys viewing your Mad Video can 'share' it by giving the link to their friends.

We won't be doing any more unless we are sure we can win again. We have five videos up I believe and guys still comment on them saying "would have been better if there were a money shot" LOL on a FREE video... It's total bull. They seriously are voting on videos that are years old now and you're right about them not being deleted... It's a bummer and I wish they would change it. So when in doubt, I would recommend NSE cause they will give you complaints either way and it's better to let them have a tease than the whole shebang. That $1k was nice, but it's totally not worth it IMO. My solo mad vids hardly got any attention since they want action. I'd rather not compete than get disappointed.

Their friends don't even have to know what a cam model is...it's easy to copy and paste a video link and share it with a friend. I don't know how often it happens, or how the conversations go, but we already know that a lot of guys talk to their male friends about women. Hell, on MFC members who barely know each other will share links to cam girls' videos (which is why y'all should consider CamRedeem for storing vids...you can't use the same link twice). And look at all those guys who like posting cam girls' videos on other forums...they don't even know each other.

So, logged in as a member, they have these preset options(on ipad anyway) to say things like "Show your feet" "do a striptease for me" "Show your tits" Etc, and they go over plenty of things imlive doesnt allow in free chat. It would be cool if I didnt have to say " No, It's not allowed in free chat cum pvt to see me do ____" every five seconds. It's like imlive is encouraging them to beg. WTF! Also, why do they get presets but we have to type everything out?! This campaign is also gonna be difficult, my target was really high and I'm not sure if I can make it. Good thing Imlive doesnt police, I'm not even paying attention to freechat past my daily goal just to get the hours for this campaign. Can't believe it started on xmas eve... then again, it is imlive.

uhhhhh right as i was typing this, someone named "Csrep3" and another named "csrepsexier1" came in my room and I couldnt kick them. Csrep3took me pvt and he was legitimately working for imlive. I told him 3 times I didnt ask for a room check and asked him why he was there but he wouldn't say. I've had my stalker in my room for hours now spamming with emoticons and im assuming they asked them to check my room. I've got my privacy window on, maybe they started policing imlive. I hope not.
