Vet, that is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing! Wanted to let you ladies know I am hanging out in pvt only, should be able to make goal, over 1/2 there. And today started out so shitty! Nope, keeping my cute butt on cam until I make goal and then into HH! Vet, on days when I do well, I know it's because I'm trying to take your advice about having a good attitude etc., so thank you!

5,000 guests in FLC right now. On a fucking Friday night. A few weeks ago it would be 13,000 to 15,000. I've made a little under $4 in almost 50 minutes, and that was just from some guy who spent the whole time trying (and failing) to get his cam to work. I'm $4 away from payout and not even sure that I'll make it. What the fuck happened to this site?

maybe the site is bottoming out and it will force them to rethink how theyre doing things and make improvements? clearly the guys arent happy with whats going on at the site so theyre not comming back but then the question is why arent they happy? i think the answer to that is the kind of guys they're attracting - cheap rude entitled men and personally i think its the parts of the world theyre catering to - the culture in these parts of the world is very "women serve me for free because thats their role" . i will always dislike this site for the most part i think because i honestly dont approve of how the site is run . i only go on there for a few weeks every now and then to make 100 bucks when i need a little extra then stay off of it .
just had an after thought:
maybe something is up with camming in general SM has had a really shitty week traffic wise and MFC has too. have u guys noticed a drop in traffic over the past week or so too ? i havent logged into im live in about two weeks now so i have no clue when the drop started

Even though Silvia decided to cover the chargeback this one time, which I'm happy about, I'm not even gonna lie...after that cb I kinda said "Fuck it" and have slacked off and not even been logging into ImDead. I've been doing other stuff like reading these library books (some about working from home...some about voice-over work), looking up stuff online, messing around on FB, etc. I've lost my motivation to log onto ImLive, but I've been doing really good about logging onto MFC.

Yeah, I wish the thread title would be edited too, since it's very misleading. If it's gonna be called 'ImLive-No chargebacks', then it should say 'Certain restrictions apply' beside that, but of course that'd be too long of a title. Lol.

well I know its been slower than normal. I also dont think the new layout is going to be a positive growth at all. the other layput made more sense. this one is horrible. First time I saw it, I was like, OH NOoooooo its a mess, confusing. The other way was easy to navigate and now its a puzzle, a big ole mysterious puzzle. We have to really do some leg work if you wanna continue making money, this sure isnt helping. I totally get what you all are saying...

"I am very sorry to see the chargebacks you had this pay period on ImLive.com.
Here at Imlive, we share your frustration when a chargeback occurs – it is really upsetting to come to the end of the pay period and see such a deduction in your earnings.
As you well know, we have changed our policy last year regarding Chargebacks, it is not a promotion, it was a complete change of the rules & policy for the entire site. The rules are 100% clear & it is not a matter of fine print or false promises.
We do absorb chargebacks unless fraudulent Host activities are suspected or if chargebacks exceed 15% of the periodic earnings average.
I’ve looked into your particular case in depth and according to my records, your Chargeback percentage was way over the 15% limit – it was 53% and therefore it was deducted from your earnings.
However, you are with us since 2008 and lately you have been putting more hours online, hence I have decided that on this onetime occasion I will cover the chargeback amount for you.
Please see it as a token of appreciation for your return to the site and I know you find it to be an incentive to come online & spend even more time in our platform.
Wishing you the best of luck!
Kind regards,
Silvia
Imlive.com"
It's really great that they paid you the chargebacks, but reading between the lines, for the future, there's nothing to smile about because she said it was a one time token of appreciation for your service, and the 53% is a shocker - why did that happen in the first place? If it happens again, you'll be out of luck.
If Silvia is looking to keep you motivated going forward, she's failed.

I've noticed that too, lately not only on Fridays, the numbers have been lower the normal. I didn't work yesterday, I have this theory that there are at least 10000 freeloaders on at any even time.
you have a few days, im sure you'll make payout. If anything you can try to lower your rate to 1.99 for a few hours that will drive in some new clients or you can do happy hour, that's at least 6
JenniferNorth
04-12-2014, 09:32 AM
That's what I've been doing, HH-and holy fuck do you get freeloaders! The thing is when I make my rate 1.80 or whatever, I feel like I do a lot MORE work for tiny amounts of money. I would rather sit in PVT all day and get $10 than have a ton of pvts that still amount to the same price. I loved IML but I need to examine my options. I'm wondering if I should split a bunch of pvt sites or something and than set aside time in the day to do MFC-wondering if that would be better....

If I cant, who can? Yeah its a puzzle, a maze, and the bottom line is 46 cents in six hours. pffft. I thought I was the only one til I read their forum. Gonna try my best, but too many more sessions like I mentioned, and well...you know..

Maddie I agree, very confusing! I've been paying for hot spots and even that doesn't seem to make a big impact. We IML girls should band together and if we have to, find a new site. I kinda don't want to since I have good reviews and stuff... :-p
Maddie67
04-12-2014, 01:04 PM
Well, Jen, I have to be honest and say today, so far, has been very busy for me, so, I must have been taken off zero finally or something..I been through ups and downs with IML, but im not ready to throw in the towel just yet..the weekends are generally the busiest time. I dont want to disrespect other platforms, but on the whole, IML suits me best so ill ride out the hurricane for now.
JenniferNorth
04-12-2014, 01:33 PM
That's good to hear! Maybe yesterday was just an off day or something, who knows. Its frustrating when there is no rhyme or reason! I will try in a bit today, make that money and keep hustling! I do hope the platform improves and they change it a bit, I liked the old way better. Is there a place for us to put a schedule anymore? Or no? I haven't seen it but I could be missing something.

I made my first promo video and "dirty" video today for IML, and oh wow did I feel like a dork. Do guys buy those? Like the shy ones that don't want or can't do the one on one private with us? Do the videos sell? I guess we'll see haha! I will just assume since hubby thought it was hot, that someone else out there will! :D
JenniferNorth
04-12-2014, 08:06 PM

Cool. I'm trying a little of everything. Made the videos, sent out mass emails to my mailing list, took a couple of new pics. I'm gonna get my nails done this next week, I know it's silly but when I do that I feel even more girly and sexy. Hoping doing some "me" time and "girl" time will enhance my confidence and sexiness overall. Mother nature sure socked it to my mojo, and now I'm ready to take it back!

Yeah, post it and just see what happens. Couldn't hurt! I got this old vid of me riding a dildo, and every once in a blue moon I'll go back to look at it and think to myself "Damn, that's hot!" LOL. It's weird because I usually hate watching vids of myself using a dildo (it's awkward watching myself), but I actually enjoyed watching that little clip.
Maddie67
04-12-2014, 10:48 PM
I made money with the recorded videos, oh yes, there are many shy ones who prefer the amateur porn to live interaction, ones who watch at work, one has been watching mine for so many years he knew some of the old ones by heart and begged me not to delete them (sooo hardcore, I just cant anymore sorry haha). You know what too, sometimes Id tell the guy, you wanna see some anal, go check out this video I got then go prvt and tell me how you liked it. They would, LOL. I wouldnt have to do it live either. The video series pays us lot less than recorded sessions though. BTW, I jinxed myself on traffic, Im so bored now tonight, (it IS late, but ill wait a few and see if when the bars close something happens..sent my email..and online messages..message center emails..made sure i was online LOOL, *TIP > classic.imlive.com mode is easier faster and most of my regs are preferring it). <

for sure- I love doing videos! ANY thing you can do to make extra income is great! I have guys who only watch my videos. Plus you can attract guys who are online- when you are normally not, they can arrange to meet you later in pvt. Its all worth doing everything you can. best wishes

They keep teasing in forum about a new style message center we can use to contact members, not implemented yet..IDK..more changes but..I dont seem to get many personal emails from guests, unless they are just sending me their skype or begging to meet, or sex talk..a few good regs use it but overall...nothing much ..the online messages are good to use though. Hope that stays.

you picked a fine time to leave me Lucielle... 4 hungry children and a crop in the field... Ive had some bad times, lived through some sad times, but this time the hurtin won't heal... you picked a fine time to leave me Lucielle - I was thinking about my own personal style change, but THIS is ME and I ain't changin for no one- not for traffic, not to compete with someone else who I think is better than me, NOTHING... the good Lord made me this way and this is how I'm stayin. I may have to disqualify a few things in order to make progress, but it's like risk verses reward. We need to look in the mirror and realize- it's not what we look like, it's who we ARE!

Spring/summer at last ! It seems like we went from winter right into summer - temperatures in the 80s. nice and sunny. I have been doing some yard work and spending time outside, enjoying this time of year, my favorite time. The azelias and dogwoods are in full bloom. beautiful !! I think it's safe to say the cold weather has left. This is a time for new beginnings, new goals, fresh ideas. I love how enfluential this time of year can be, for our minds. have a great day !! be blessed

Ok. I have officially done Happy Hour two days in a row and wow the men are there, but they are not gifting much! I feel funny asking out loud for a gift while fucking myself or whatever. I have mixed feelings so far. One part of me is ok with it, since it's bringing me traffic, but the other part of me thinks that's the longest hour in the history of hours EVER and men suck for not gifting often, or some not at all. lol! Idk if I'll try HH again today or not, I need a new approach and I haven't come up with anything yet.

I'm jealous! I'm in Maryland, and we actually had snow in April, temperatures in the 40s/50s/60s, and quite a bit of rain. The rain doesn't surprise me though..."April Showers." But that other stuff I mentioned...a little unusual for this time of year. We were teased with a couple of days in the 70s. I'm just waiting for the weather to consistently be sunny and nice (I actually love when it's closer to 80 degrees) where I no longer have to wonder "Do I have to wear my jacket today, or just a hoodie?" My iPhone is saying it should be in the low 70s on Saturday, which should be nice.
I'm not logging into ImLive today. I'm gonna go place a birthday cake order, and do a few more times in preparation for this party. Have a great day, ladies!

if theyre not tipping i would stop. i would treat it like a token site at that point the longer they dont tip the more i put back on . and eventually if it goes on for too long i log off. the most i would do is a sexy dance or something and flash my tits every once in a while

you get a director, your supposed to do what they tell you do, within reason of course and in between that your suppose to be naked, half naked or naked upon request. your not suppose to make small talk just fulfill request but I know every girl has broke that one.
Try doing free chat for a day you'll pick up more paying traffic and you'll make the 20 in no time

really hh isnt about the gifts- just do a normal show as you always do- if the guest feels inclined to give you a gift, consider it a bonus- otherwise hh is a great tool for getting new guys to your room, repeats guests some hosts have no reservations about asking for gifts, some do. I don't know if asking makes any difference though. I've always went by the idea that ill do my normal show within reason. For example, I won't do something in hh that requires me to clean up because you can't leave the camera during hh and sitting in your own mess is unsanitary. I stop whatever I'm doing when a new director comes in and greet the director. If I am getting a bunch who are wanting toy toy toy and get sick of it, I end hh. Most guests understand the hh isn't exactly like a private show, the ones who don't are generally hh cheap guys who will never go private. There's always the kick button for real jerks too. Bra and panty is good for hh, you can slip back into them fast, flash a little bit here and there, Yes, it is ok to cover back up and start over. From all ive seen, the you must be nude thing is meant to keep Hosts from denying nudity when its requested. If you never get nude in private, (perhaps you are a Domme, or shy girl), hh may not work for you.

If you dont mind me asking, how many hours a week (or pay period) are you working?
Try being mean, you might pick up a different clientele. Those sph guys always love a mean girl
or be ditzy or act like your super super fucking horny
I always get a private when i act like i wanna fuck. I know its super fucking annoying but it never last long.
You could also, if your interested that is, give the monthly vid contest a try. I think the top prize is 100 and I read that just putting a vid in helps generate paying clientele to your room.
Ive watched some of the past winners vids and most of them honestly weren't that good, so if you do a really nice vid, do some fancy editing, have good lighting, there is no way you cant win and make an extra 100

So, the new message center is up, and it has some cool features. I like that we can now send a message to anyone who has spent on us, plus anyone we replied to from fantasy forum. In the past, I always had to get the guests to message me first before I could write to them. Hard to get a horny guy to listen to instructions on how to send me a message. I can write them a personal note, and start a conversation thread, like on fbook, so its easier to keep up on conversations. I am not seeing though my old messages, sort of a bummer cuz I had 12 yrs worth of emails some of which I would have liked to save. I also cannot seem to make the message center work on my tablet. Maybe I need to clear cache or something there. Still checking it out, but so far, I do like what I see.

The mad vids arent worth it, trust us. We were one of those winners of 1K and people still watch them everyday instead of coming pvt. I'd rather them not be up anymore cause people still comment dumb ass shit on them as if we're still competing. If you win consistently, yeah maybe... and if you're alone you wont get begged for a "money shot" on a free video. Just remember it's there for as long as they decide it's there.
on a side note: Imlive has been straight awful :(

Yep I like it so far too, it reminds me more of gmail or something now, the layout and smoothness. And the waiting for them or telling them they had to message first was super annoying before to me also! I hope it stays smooth!
