Hey girls, maybe I'm just a nitwit, but can someone tell me the difference between the IMLive referral link they give and the Webcamking link in the power tools? I'm not sure which I should be using.

That's what I've been saying all along. Again, you are not understanding my posts, and it's like you're twisting my words to say something else. Did you NOT see my original post which said "And one of my pet peeves is when people say "I'm just keepin' it real" to justify their douchiness."

That means I can't stand it when people claim to be "keeping it real" and try to use that as an excuse to be an asshole. They're not keepin' it real...they're just being a dick.

You're basically just repeating the same thing I said in my original post, so no, you don't disagree with me...you agree.


Never mind, this conversation is a waste of energy. Moving forward

Yes. Next time please know what you're reading/responding to when you tell a person you disagree with them. Otherwise you just sound silly. Getting this thread back on topic.....

I got the ImLive e-mail about the Mad Video where you're supposed to sing. :) I started getting a little excited about that idea, and then I realized the last time I did a Mad Video a couple of guys complained in the comments section about there being no sexual activity. *facepalm* I guess they didn't get the memo that there are SE (sexually explicit) Mad Videos and Non-SE Mad Videos.....

TY Sam and h0ttie for posting your experiences with this site!

I was going to sign up with IMLive as a site to split cam with, but I don't want to support a site that treats their models like complete trash. The "CBs" really just sound like they are scamming models at their discretion.

Imlive has no Chargebacks anymore. Take the time to read more and you will see that things changed around there since this thread started.

yeah I know right? I always get slammed with bad reviews about that lol- well, bad reviews dont bother me really, not in regards to the mad video cause its just a silly little thing ya know? Plus if you get one big spender from seeing that video, its all worth it. But i totally know what you're sayin, they rate it bad and say mean things just cause they can. they all wanna get the "goods" for free. im with ya all the way.

What does everyone think of the new profiles? I kind of really hate it. It looks empty and unfinished. The new chat bugs me too, I don't need them seeing other hosts while they're in my room, grr.

On the plus side I'm getting a toooooon of traffic but it's mostly unregistered guests... like 3x as many as usual. Weird!

VeteranCamModel
01-25-2014, 10:01 AM

The Imlive referral link gets you 85% from guests who click it, signup, buy credits to see you. The webcamking referral gets you nothing extra, only higher placement on the host list. Personally, unless I know the guest is going to be a huge spender, I give them my pussycash.com webmaster link which fetches $100 when they buy credits to use on anyone or anything at imlive.

Ever since I replaced my c310 with my 2nd c920, things have been busy. I actually had a good hour on IM today lol. Something went funky earlier. I had about 5 paying members in my free chat and like on SM, they were in my room chatting and disappeared at the same time. Odd.

yeah yesterday was pretty awesome for me too.I made my goal in less than 2 hrs. I dont usually "set goals" but I sorta did yesterday, lets just say I got on at last minute and did good lol glad traffic is still around. I pray for all the guys to keep their jobs and get fat raises lol

do u just use that pussycash site to promote imlive and ur room do u actively promote the other sites on that too? and anyone join that site and get referral money from it? I use pussycash to promote both my own room, individual hosts, categories and imlive as a whole. Its nice knowing that even if I am not online and my referrals buy to see someone else, I still get paid that $100. I havent promoted sexier.com or phonemates, they are pretty much the same plus im not a fulltime webmaster anymore, if I was, id promote the one paying the highest at a given time. (usually is imlive). The other sites there, the matchmaking n stuff, never had much luck, but made for good filler on my ads. if anyone needs help with imlive webmaster links, send me a prvt message with your affiliate id, tell me where you want the link to go and ill try to help you out. Theres way better webmasters than me, but one pay period I had 17 signups at $100 each and that was more $ than my imlive check without one "hi bb".

IML is usually pretty good for me but the last few times I've logged in I have get booted off due to my web browser blocking potential malicious ad-on? This happen to anyone else? I haven't changed my firewall or any other settings on my computer and so far the last 3 days I have logged in this happens. It allows me to log back in and continue streaming but then maybe 20-30 minutes it will do it again.

I didn't think ImLive models using the Advanced HD option could use Google Chrome anyway. I remember a long time ago whenever I tried Chrome the HD chat wouldn't work right, so I always had to use Firefox. I've heard other ImLive models say the same thing...that they can only use Firefox. Same thing when I was camming on AdultWork (the 'videochat.tv' JCI web-based version)...AW never worked with Chrome.

So even though Google Chrome is my favorite browser which I use for everything, I'd told myself that anything having to do with ImLive or AdultWork would have to be with Firefox instead since those two sites seemed to be incompatible with Chrome.

I raised my rate to 4.80 today. Too many 30 second guys, too much bullshit. And while I'm here, I'm going to vent. The "entice me bb" shit pisses me off. I don't have to entice you to anything. If you see me, think I'm hot, wanna "get dirty", let's go pvt. But I'm not going to sing and dance like a trained parrot just to get you to go pvt with me. Hopefully with my new rates the assholes and minute men will go away. Nothing pisses me off more than a 2 min. pvt. End rant.

Snowy0Star
01-28-2014, 03:27 PM
i have mine set to 3.80 and its staying there its my side site for now so i dont wanna be super cheap and do a lot of short little shows for 30% when sm has more quality traffic and higher % most of the guys comming into in my room are with no credits begging i just ignore them and only talk to the guys with credits when i get them in my room witch is rare . maybe i just need to be on more or im going on at the wrong times for my fanbase on there

kortneykay
01-28-2014, 04:08 PM
^^^^1,000 Thanks for that one, JN. I swear IML guys are a different breed altogether. I was online for an hour and 5 min and not one pvt on there (for the first time in camming history) and all I got were guys begging and telling me to show this, and do this and tease them just to go pvt. Yeah. Fucking.Right. The real truth is. They didn't have money to begin with. There seems to be three types of guys on IML. The guys who are broke and don't have money, the guys who have money and take your pvt right away, and the guys who have money, but don't want to spend it on higher rates. I'm only there to appease to one of those three and you know who. IML is a cheap site as you can't even get 35% unless you're a veteran (with 6 years under your belt) or a hall of fame girl, and on top of that, the rates suck. I've been working there off and on since 2009/2010 You're telling me that at $5.80 I'd still make under $2??? How does that even work? $1.74 per min at $5.80? And I could ask them to raise it, but these guys here are cheap as fuck.

Angeliqua
01-28-2014, 04:53 PM
What time I did not get booted off sucked last night. Usually I get polite guys and have never had a problem on there, but wow! A guy comes in demanding stuff in free chat, when I say it is against the rules only in PVT his ass wants to get rude and says whatever see you then if you don't want my money. So, I was like don't let the door hit you. Then he stays there for a few mins like an ass, waiting for me to change my mind. And then I get this ??? so I just waved bye to him, he calls me a bitch and leaves. I've heard that there are some really rude guys on there but I had never experienced that until then.

Maddie67
01-28-2014, 10:34 PM
I'm not going to sing and dance like a trained parrot just to get you to go pvt with me. Hopefully with my new rates the assholes and minute men will go away. The parrot dance has me laughing so hard right now!! SO right on the money :) Just one cam model's opinion...the guests/members at Imlive do not even have to have a credit card to 1) make an account 2) chat in free video and it ends up being a lot of work for nothing for the models. Like they are afraid to offend someone by reminding the guests its a pay site. It certainly isnt foolproof, but when my rate is 4.8 5.8 it says loud and clear, "I am here to make money.", if that offends these guys, oh fucking well, life's tough, then you whack off to someone else.

JenniferNorth
01-29-2014, 04:49 AM
Shit girls, no WONDER I haven't been making decent money. It's not because I suck, but as KK pointed out-look how LITTLE we get per min! I signed up with Boelyn studios so I can work SM and I'm waiting for approval (I didn't ulitize it properly when I first signed up and never made regs-my fault. So everything sucked when the new girl tag went away). IML has been my main site and just UGH no WONDER! Of course you are on the money again KK and Maddie-the IML guys are a special breed of cheap as FUCK, don't like to pay, and really don't get that this is a job and we are WORKING. I'm glad I raised my rates, and I encourage all you other girls to do the same. Also, take advantage of whatever tools you feel comfortable using: liveviewer, discount club, groupcams, recording your sessions and selling them (I did this the other day and was VERY happy to see someone purchased my video). Whatever adds to your bottom line!

kortneykay
01-29-2014, 05:13 AM
I agree Jenn! I don't use any promos so the only way I can make money on IML is to go on for 5-10 hours early in the day where I can pull in $110-200, and ask for tips after a great show. I wouldn't mind doing vids except I'm not okay with showing my face in them which could majorly hurt my sales. I still sell customs but my face is a huge seller and I only use it during shows.

IML guys are a special breed of cheap as FUCK, don't like to pay, and really don't get that this is a job and we are WORKING. You got that right. They dont. Is why I turn on the camera, say to hell with free video chat, turn up the sound to hear the bell, and just go about my life. No promos, no happy hours, no mad videos, I do use the hot spots, I dont like live viewer, they can hear what your doing when you arent in a show unless you shut off your mic, and we get pennies. Maybe I short myself on money by my methods, but theres a lot to be said for mystery. And since i am living my life with IML just running in the background, the business doesnt get to me like it did when I used to spend my entire time online glued to the screen. Im too old for that shit lol.

^^^I've been on IML since 9'/10' and still have 30 hours to go on free chat hours. LMAO. That's how random and back burner IML as a site is to me. I'm trying to finish these hours this week so I can finally leave it on permanent pvt mode. I can't fucking wait!

01-30-2014, 12:56 PM
dang girl lol that is beyond back burner lol this just made me laugh. Are you gonna get on more after your flc time is met? Is that why you don't grace us with your presence very often? lol I didnt have to do those required hours, they didnt have flc in the beginning, I dont think I could make it that long either. Bless your heart, bless everyones heart who has to sit through that bunch of yuck. I have barely been able to chat in text chat today, if i wanna chat for free... Id call a GF and yackity yack with her, ya know? Im just feelin cranky today lol

VC, they actually jipped me. I got locked out of yahoo and couldn't revive my account so I had to get a new yahoo account. Well, IML swears that I didn't join the site until 2010 when I def joined back in 09,possibly 08'. So all the chat hours I had got restarted and I'm still trying to finish them lol. I've also noticed that my time has been off and I even got 5 hours added on from them because they messed up and were skimming me on my chat hours.

I have to just say, at the risk of sounding like some lame kiss ass, believe me, I am not, ive written many a strongly worded email and furious forum post that got deleted to them over the years, but..Iml has been good to me, in all honesty. No, it isnt nirvana. Theres a lot of things they do I dont agree with. At ALL! Theres other sites that have a few things (higher commissions, better quality guests) that are much better. But when I needed them, they have always been there for me. Ive always gotten paid. My chargebacks over the years when they still had them, were minimal, as long as I stayed with the "if it seems too good to be true, it likely is" method. Silvia, Sherry and Sarit were always kind to me, and made me feel like more than just another cam host. I cant say I have gotten that feeling from other places I have tried. If they were to go under tomorrow, I'd retire from camming. The other places force free video chat no matter how long we work there, and I wont do it. I have several regulars who have been seeing me since 2002, I know the system, Im comfortable there. But im sure I will find something to complain about again very soon hahahaha.

kortneykay
01-30-2014, 09:57 PM
Yeah, it's not a bad site at all. I've never actually had a chargeback. I did email cs today because they gave me 30% from a new guy I had sign up with my link and not 85%.

01-31-2014, 05:32 AM
have you spoken directly with silvia? you might give her an email and explain your situation. she is very fair and will listen to you and look into your account. CS hardly has time to put that much effort into each host complaint. but silvia is our host rep, its her job and her pleasure to help us. she has been very good to me in the past. like maddie said down below, I have to agree, she will at least check into it for you. its worth a try ya know? best of luck muahhhhhhhhhh

Had my first day on IML. I split with SM. So far I'm enjoying IML more than SM. I cammed half assed back in 2012. So while I may be able to sniff out the basics in bullshit, I'm still pretty new. After 6 hrs of splitting I came out with 75 on Im Live, $8 on SM.... Terrible on SM. No one stays in my room and I do try to entertain and interact. Almost every other paid member in IML took me private for longer than a min. I even had a 40 min private. Things did slow down after I got bumped to $1.98. But not by a margin. I'm gonna work on IML at $1.98 and continue splitting with SM. I know the money is there but building regulars and getting ratings is pulling teeth.

It could've been your feed. That is really backwards as most would've made twice as much or three times as much on sm. I've tried splitting with sm and iml but I end up being fine on iml and really slow or freeze crazy on sm and the guys leave when they see this. Are you sure your computer is handling splitting with both sites smoothly? I was doing it seamlessly before my computer's cooling system started to take a hit. I'm having to update and get a better system and get my i5 laptop fixed.

Marshae1093
01-31-2014, 10:28 AM
I think that may be it. I know my system isn't up to par but would have expected SM customers to say something. I just kept getting dragged into private on IML and putting my SM feed on break. Maybe I should hold off on splitting. But even on my past pages I find myself sitting on SM bored. I have a Logitech cam, dress and interact but just assume I need to give it time cause its a tough crowd.

01-31-2014, 10:35 AM
IML is usually decent for me but last night nothing, except for someone viewed a vid. Hey, it is better than nothing I guess! I was splitcamming with MFC and just stayed in private on IML. I find I do better in free chat but I thought it would be much simpler. That way if I am in a private on MFC, I can still feed on IML without pausing.

kortneykay
01-31-2014, 10:36 AM
Noooo, never rely on custys to tell you anything lol. They will simply leave as soon as they realize your camera isn't up to par. Always check your own feed because the encoder is just the back end. You can look totally smooth on there and shitty on your actual feed.

Yup, I've noticed that on MFC. Members will just run right out the room without informing you that your video is screwed up. So you'll stay online wasting your cam score away, wondering "Why is it so dead on here?!"

Thank goodness for the regulars who actually care and want to see you do well. They'll let you know if something's wrong with your video feed.

01-31-2014, 10:50 AM

Looks like they're running a new campaign...

"It's about to start February's campaign - an incentive to come online and exceed yourself. No FLC or long hours online required - but remember, the more you earn the bigger your bonus will be at the end of the month. What you need to do?! Work for at least 22 days during Feb and we will give you a bonus equal to your 2 lowest earnings/work days! :) Good luck!"

22 days is A LOT (for me at least lol), especially if you need to earn a lot each day to make it worth it... I'd rather they make the bonus equal to your one highest day in that time period. Someone on the forum mentioned that last time they had a campaign like this her lowest days were $12 and $6 so it wasn't worth it for her. What do you guys think?

kortneykay
01-31-2014, 01:36 PM
If you work 6 days a week anyway, 22 days in Feb isn't much. However, IML doesn't seem to understand that it isn't the models who need to be baited into working. Models will work, if there is money to be made. Period. I've NEVER seen SM or any other big box site on IML's level put out campaigns for models. The only sites I see do those are lower end sites where it's very clear that these "bonuses" they put out are because models aren't making much money. I still don't understand why sites like that don't put more money/effort/research into finding ways to bring quality members to their sites.

I understand that men are visual but the "free" live chat obsession that is always being promoted is something that is a catch 22. I get the try before you buy, but it usually just attracts freeloader and beggars. I think IML needs to focus on bringing in converting traffic and not paying us to stay on longer. If the money was there you wouldn't have to bait models into staying on, they'd do it because they knew they could make money. This site has been on longer than a lot of other sites that are doing well. They need to work on their marketing efforts period.

Their bonuses are a crock of shit too. So if someone stays on all those days and only makes $40 on one bad day, and $30 on another, you're gonna give them a $70 bonus? I'm sorry but that still seems shitty considering all the hours one spends in Free chat or Pvt waiting for Pvts. So if that person was signed into IML for 10 hours on both days, they made $4 an hour one one day, and $3 on the day, and you're giving them $7 per hour all together as a bonus. Ummm no.

Billabong
01-31-2014, 01:42 PM
