OK, am I the only one who feels IML is skimming? Maybe its just me being greedy, but I log in and track my earnings and feel like I'm either not fully paid for my shows, or the amounts have changed since yesterday or something. Time to start taking screenshots I guess. Wondering if it is just me or if other girls think this.

yeah, not fun to do something extra, but from time to time you can actually have a nice surprise: actually yesterday i had a good day on my other sites but not even one show on imlive, and i wasn't gonna open it up to check the winnings, I just did it our of habit, and discovered somebody bought a video..so it was real nice for end of the day, lol

Yup, I wish we could have our login name be the same as our chat host name, but I guess they don't allow it? I also have a 'Host Login' screenname that is slightly different from my actual chat host name. And neither of those are even my Twitter username. I wish I could just use the name 'yummybrownfox' for everything camming...without having to start over on a new account. They dont do it because if someone wanted to screw you, they would use your login name to try and login your host account three times with the wrong password and lock you out of your account until you emailed CS to have it unlocked. They even used to have the guys use an alias for any public postings (shared sessions, blogs, now defunct), because nefarious hosts would read postings from "their" regular on another hosts stuff, and would try logging in with a members account and lock them out so they couldnt see the other hosts.
Added*When we change our host name, we do stay on any members favorites and email lists as well, so that helps us retain our regulars.

I had this demanding asshole who was obviously expecting me to be a robot and quickly "show tits," "fuck pussy," etc. Paying member or not, I'm not gonna rush and follow all of your barked orders just because you have the 'Under 2 minutes remaining' alert on the screen. In fact, until you buy more credits to get that alert off the screen, I'm not even gonna bother whipping out my toy. It's insulting to expect a rushed show from a cam girl just because you're a cheapass.

But I am glad I'll be making payout this time...lol. Yay! :)

I dont know how these guys can get into a show being all that demanding. do this do this. Theres no way they can get into it. Its just a means of control and lack of respect.

The fantasies section can be... interesting sometimes.

"I got moisturiser I got toothpaste I got some rope. Come tell me what to do"

I would actually love to do this show but I don't even know how to reply to that hahaha. If he just said moisturizer I'd say lube for jerking it, if he just said toothpaste and rope I'd say CBT, but all of them? I wouldn't know where to begin.

Schools are closed due to the damn snow. I'm on ImLive paid chat for a few hours while my son (turning 11 next month) keeps himself busy in his room and plays outside in the snow. I'm letting him keep my Justin Timberlake CDs in his room during that time too (we both love J.T.). This has been a shitty-ass winter with several school closings, but it's not getting in the way of my daytime camming anymore.

I am having difficulty coming to terms with the fact they're keeping 70% of my earnings AND forcing me to do freechat. I moved over into the fetish section and they require 120 HOURS of freechat. This is stupid. I wanted to charge $1.98 so I got a good quantity of shows but seriously £0.35 a minute ? I know I am not getting naked or anything but still it seems a bit rediculas, espcially since I can go 20minutes or more without getting a show. I can charge $1.98 on another site and keep much more, but at this rate I'm going to have to raise it to like $5 a minute and I feel that is an unfair price to pay on the customers end. Really I think if sites gave us more % they would actually make the same $$ if not more, cause more customers could afford to buy a longer show. 30% is fucking SHIT. I'm considering going back to F&R for the lack of freechat requested. But I just find fetish and dommes more fun. I have made bank on ImLive so far with my $1.98 price but when I look at my earnings before % taken off it makes me want to cry. I earnt $500 of customers cash but only receive $150 of it. That is truly saddening.

I didn't get a single private show in the 4 hours I was online. One guy in free text chat with a (p) by his name made it sound like he was gonna do a roleplay private show right then and there, but when I agreed to it he said "Okay, I'll add you to my favorites, and I'll come back at a later time to do it."

I can't remember what his name was. He was asking about doing a mistress roleplay. At the time I thought he was referring to mistress like a married man's "chick on the side." But now I'm wondering if he meant the other kind of mistress?

Logged into ImLive (which I sometimes wanna call 'ImDead') since 9 AM EST and finally got a decent length private show with a nice guy just now. :) When he asked about sending me a pic, I politely told him no, he can just do cam-to-cam instead sometime, and he was cool with that. He didn't whine "Why not?" or anything, which was a relief. I wish I had more guys like this on MFC...spenders who are nice guys who enjoy chatting.

I commend those of you that do free chat on there. I tried it for over an hour today and I wanted to kill most of them. I honestly think they have more beggars on there then the tokens sites.

apryll11
03-07-2014, 04:33 PM
I actually like free chat. Honestly the beggars don't bother me, at the most I find them funny. And most of them don't have sound which make me think they are somewhere in their grandma's house, hiding under covers begging to see what girls in real life never will. The emotion it takes to be bothered can never be given to a person like this, all I can do is laugh. Which actually makes me more money, a smiling, laughing me makes soooo much more money then angry, pissed off me.
Id rather kill the dumb fucks who think im here for romance and marriage and dating their broke asses.

Then again I dont show shit in free chat so if I was a tip for tit type girl or on a token site I'm sure my opinion of them would change.

Yeah, it seems like 9 AM - 12/12:30 PM EST is the best time frame to be logged onto ImLive. I tried splitcamming on there earlier tonight, but my video kept freezing up with the ManyCam software. So I was like fuck it...I'll get back on there tomorrow. ImLive's better during the daytime anyway.

You might want to try Webcamsplitter if you're using up your system resources. Manycams and Splitcam are extreme computer resource hogs. It's $20, but well worth it. I've been using Splitcam and Manycam for about 5 years and had lots of trouble with both.

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

Hi there... if you don't mind me asking... I've been reading this thread backwards because I want the latest information. I don't want to go any further back. I'm looking for another site (about my 8th or so lol) to split with and I'm thinking I might try IML as I see you just announced that they no longer do charge backs.

I read that you need to do 120 hours in free chat to be able to turn it off - I'm not really concerned about that as I can handle free chat just fine - you get used it after 8 years. When you split 3 or 4 ways it's easy to ignore free chat. The part that didn't sound so fine was that new models are restricted to a very low per minute rate. Was it 0.99 per minute? At 30% that means I'll be working for 30c per minute. How long do I have to use this rate? Do they have exclusive and group rates like SM?

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

VeteranCamModel
03-08-2014, 06:00 AM
tropo- new hosts rate is .98 a min til you have done 90 min in live shows... I believe it's 90 mins. thats time actually spent in a show. So its not that hard to do. done in 1 or 2 shows *smiles* after that time your rate automatically goes to 1 98 min, so then you will have to log off in order to change it higher. keep in mind, your stars (ratings) determine how much you can charge, 5 stars charges up to 5.80 min 4 stars up to 4.80 min. so get your stars high. best wishes on imlive... i love it there !!

tropo
03-08-2014, 06:15 AM
^^ Thanks for that. LOL, just 2 privates? I can handle 90 mins just to get started, not as bad as I thought. I suppose you could be right about 2 privates as there would be quite a few takers at that price. ... so that's a profit of only $17.64 per hour for the 1 1/2 hours. I'll have to do that on a free night to get up to speed. I won't be giving any cheapskate full on action for the whole time though.

Is it still 120 hours before you can switch off free chat? Does IML use an encoder or is it browser based? I don't use the SM encoder - it's a real bitch to use and I hate it. Something like we use on AW would be nice.

I think that's the problem I paid for (or VerySoft?), and it was cool, but then the last time I tried using it it wouldn't come up in the webcam selection box, for some reason. I'm not worried about it anymore though, because I don't need to splitcam ImLive with any other site. I've realized that daytime is the best time to be on there. Nights on there are dead.

tropo
03-08-2014, 10:42 AM
^^ Yes, that's the one - from VerySoft. I suppose they can all cause trouble.... it's just that this one doesn't eat up all the computer resources if you using many sites. The preview window is very useful too as you can sit it on top of all other applications and make it big, so if you work back from your computer you can still see what you're doing.

one of my friends I brought to the site did all her 90 min with one guy. yeah of course the price got him in, but he could easily be your next best reg, never know. The problem with most people is they seek to make a fast buck, gotta look at the big picture in this business, long time regs who will bring home the bacon even on the worst situations, you can always count on them no matter what. SO this is the same reason I still do happy hour , even though its not alot of pay, i ALWAYS GET NEW REGS from it. your time will go by fast don't worry, its also like you said, i believe, an 8th site to work? lol something along those lines? anyways best wishes to you !!!!!!!

That happens, they have 30min block and 1 hour block, you can take that off in the fee/discount section if you want. But basically if they buy a block you get paid the entire fee no matter how long he stays however when he comes back later for the remaining 29 min you wont get paid again.
Its nice but also kind of sucks cos I had an hour block that a guy bought last year and he cashed in his remaining 50 min in 4 sessions this week and although I did get paid it still feels like I've worked for free. I only have the 30min block option up now.

Wait, they can come back and finish their minutes at any time? Ew, lame! I've always had guys stay for the full time, now that I know that I might only offer 30 minutes as well.

Re: HH, it is a great tool for getting regulars because there are so many big spenders there, but I find that they act cheap and picky in HH. I did get one of my best regs from there so I should probably try it again... the format (2 min at a time) and the guys' attitudes just annoy me even more than the low pay. I'd be more likely to do it for $1/hr if they didn't act like spoiled little boys.

Oh definitely, I just assumed it was like SM and they had a limited amount of time to cash in if they got cut off. On SM I think it's 2 hours, I wouldn't even mind it being the rest of the day. But forever? Fuuuck that. I've owed a lot of time on indy before and it was the worst, definitely felt like working for free.

I understand what ur sayin. To be honest, I take that 2 min and use it to MY advantage. I greet each director, as if i was starting the show all over. I do much less in hh than in reg vid,I dont deny them a show, I in fact make it more interesting, I include each other in my conversation and i talk almost the whole time, to all of them watching, even between directors. You know how to take charge of your room, hh in no different, and its not what you say, its how you say it, I get away with so much in my show because I sound like Im super sweet when in fact I am doing nothing more than taking control of my room.

Something like we use on AW would be nice. Yes, still 120 hours before you can switch off free video mode. Imlive's software is browser based. It has the option to switch from hd to regular mode. I find its often very helpful to change to regular quality mode when the site has problems.

Did you email Silvia or customer service in general regarding this incident? I ask because thats not the way 30/60 min sessions are supposed to work, and not the way it has worked in the entire time I have been there, since 2002. They buy the time, get the discount. If they leave and dont come back within the time, and you dont log out during the time, they lose it. Unless something changed. Is it possible the guy bought months worth of paid discount club and got a bunch of free time with you, or was a system glitch? I hope they didnt change something and not inform us...

Maybe I am crazy, but I swear flc on IML is way more draining than other places! I usually use only paid chat most of the time. Having said that if I want to make money, I'll go in flc and try to drum up business, but if everyone is being stupid and freeloading, as they usually are, off to paid I go. Most girls I see there don't even talk or show face, both of which I do, so I feel like people are already getting a good deal.

LOL. I get them a lot when I'm new on a site. Obviously they think newbies are fools. I find nearly all of these messages come from cheap skates who haven't paid for a single private session.

Either way I won't meet them, but come on - that's like expecting sex before taking me out to dinner.:D I get the most of these "requests" on AW, because they think that all the girls on there are escorts.

The best option is to totally ignore these messages. There's always a chance they may go private if they're ignored.

Procrasturbator
03-10-2014, 05:20 PM
I've only worked free chat on IML and SM but I actually find free chat on IML way less draining, I think partly because people actually say hi/stick around and partly because I can see who has credits/who has spent a lot of money on the site so I know who I should be paying attention to. Guys with credits usually don't act as awful as the free guests. If they try to freeload with credits, I call them out on it and tell them to go pvt. If they try to freeload without credits, I call them out on it and tell them to get some credits and go pvt. Easy peasy.

It probably just has to do with different personality types, though... it used to drive me crazy how guys on SM would constantly pop in and out but for many I'm sure that's easier than having them stick around for forever like they often do on IML.
