Awww I thought I had good news! Just signed up and trying to contribute anything that may be somewhat useful but I'm just a damn broken record LOL ;D

Don't feel bad, I actually made this thread MONTHS ago and haven't been around here much to see the good news. Was wondering why this thread had so many replies since people seemed to be anti ImLive. YAY super excited about this!! ImLive was my first cam site and they were quite good to me chargebacks aside, SUPER excited to put in more time there now!! Now I just wish they would work on weekly payments...

Yay, no chargebacks!!!! Kind of. Never had a CB so IDK how to feel about the 15% thing but still, it's an awesome sign of progress that they've agreed to cover CBs at all. Honestly I was kind of thinking of concentrating more on SM after the summer campaign ended and just keeping ImLive as a back up but I'm definitely going to give it a real chance. That was very smart of them, they have a lot of competition and it seems like they're finally stepping up their game.
RARELY if ever did I even close to 15% in cbs over 11 years. More like 2% over the entire time period. Hope that is helpful!

Holy shit IML is being good to me this morning. As in "hourly average that I would be more than happy with on my best days on SM" good. Whaaaaat is going on? Is this real life? Is anyone else doing strangely well this morning?

EDIT: Wow, my hourly average is now higher than it's ever been on SM (except maybe that time when I was in exclusive for hours and hours.) I keep getting these guys who just want to talk for forever! Typing, too, so I'm just chatting with them and typing on SW/surfing the web at the same time. Daaaaamn. I shouldn't take a break but I'm feeling kind of sick so I am but seriously, if anyone's putting off getting online I would try it right now.

Imlive was the first site I ever cammed on................traffic was not good for me so there for it took longer for me to make money. It's funny cause I used to spend a lot of time on there. Honestly I like the site but the lack of traffic made me go away. Maybe one day I will give it a go again......

Grrrr I hate how ImLive doesn't tell you when you're no longer streaming! Drives me nuts. Just now my connection dropped out during a show. The guy was really quiet (one of those guys that doesn't go cam2cam or type, just takes you pvt and stares at you) so I probably wouldn't have noticed for a really long time except he had the under 2 minute warning. 3 or 4 minutes later I thought it was weird that he hadn't run out of time so I checked my connection and sure enough I wasn't even connected to the Internet and just did a cum show for an audience of zero. Sigh.

Sometimes it drops me even when my connection is fine and the only way I know is because no one's said anything for a few minutes. Super aggravating.

So does anyone here do the parties? NGL they sort of remind me of high school dances (30's? Hip to the jive? Oh, IML) but if there really is an increase in paying traffic then I might join the next time there's a decent theme. Experiences? Advice?

Can i ask what percent u get on this site. i tried 2 sign up and it told me "between 30% to 100%" thats kinda vague. can anyone give me a better explanation?

I copied it from their Power Guide: (so not my enthusiasm lol)

"All Hosts in the Live Sex Chat and Friends & Romance categories receive 30% of what Guests pay. The exceptions are Celebrity Pornstars, Hosts in the 120 Top Earners in the Hall of Fame, ImLive Diamonds, and the 25 Top Earners in the Friends & Romance category, who receive 35% commission."

"Earn 85% Lifetime Commission for referring new Guests (Guests who have no previous paying accounts) to ImLive. Get Guests to use your unique referral link to become paying Members and receive 85% Lifetime Commission on every Credit they spend in your Video Chat room. Also, direct them from your website using the Live Console, and you'll earn 85% commission on all Credit spent in your Video Chat room. "

"Get an amazing 100% Commission by hosting in Free Live Chat and converting Free Guests into Paying Members!

1. Start by converting 2 Guests each pay period. Conversions happen when a new free Guest purchases ImLive Credit within 2 hours of a free chat with you and then spends at least one of those Credits in your room within these 2 hours.
2. For any additional Guest that you convert during that pay period, starting with your 3rd Guest, you will get a 100% Commission. That means you get 100% Commission on EVERY Real Credit they spend in your Chat room!

For a member to be converted successfully they need to have never bought Credit before, under any username. All conversions will be checked before approval. If the conversion is approved, you will see 'Bonus' in the 'Host Commission' column, which means that your earnings have been updated to 100% commission. If the conversion is not approved, you will receive your regular commission for this Guest. If the pay period ends before the Guest conversion check is completed, the difference in earnings will appear in the following pay period."

They also mention a one-time 50% comission, but that only means if you have a discount club a costumer can buy a membership. And you get 50% of the membership price he paid.

If I get on and find I am busy, but havent joined in, I stay out at least while I am busy. If I get slow I usually join. If its a super lame theme, it works better for me to stay out. :)

I used to but haven't in a long time. Maybe I'll do one in the near future (if I have the required outfit/props for it) just to boost my placement a little (in addition to using the Hot Spots feature).

I think the ImLive parties usually start at 3 PM EST Friday and go on til like Monday 3 AM EST? I remember years ago they had a 'Show us what you can do with a banana' theme...lol. I can't remember if that was a party theme or a Mad Video Competition theme. :)

10-12-2013, 02:06 PM
I LOVE the parties. I feel like maybe half of my guys get into the theme, if it really is a hot and sexy theme. sometimes like a banana party, i just cant bring myself to do lol sorry but nah. now if its a secretary kinda role, yeah man, guys love the roleplay and will spend alot longer in my room than normal. But again, only if im truely into that role, theme. But I also think guys like to check out new theme related pics, my regs come on to see what the theme is, but then again, maybe i have trained them to do this. Yes try the parties if you like the theme, it gets u higher on the list too :) best wishes to you :)

After a while, you end up with party pictures that you can use again, themes repeat/ are similar. I think I read on forum there, you could also just make a sign with party name and like, one prop.
For sure, weekend placement sometimes matters, Easy to get stuck on zero on page 3, 4, 5, 6 even at five stars..not the best place if none of your regs are online. But yes we have No banana..I skip food parties and just get a hotspot.

Ugh, just got my first chargeback. It's not that much (less than 15% of my average since I started actually streaming on IML but since I didn't work my first couple pay periods I'm guessing they dragged my average down) but that was a nasty surprise. I can't remember but based on the time I'm guessing it was one of the long talkers. Do guys who CB disappear off of everyone's guest files? I wanted to send him a "Thanks for the chargeback, dickhead" message but I'm guessing IML wouldn't approve. :P

Maddie67
10-16-2013, 12:23 AM
Do guys who CB disappear off of everyone's guest files? That guy likely deleted his account and thats why he disappeared from guest files. The only way to see anything of him is searching his name on this page http://host.imlive.com/account_GuestSearch.asp and that will just show all his so called transactions. If they make CB and dont delete, yeah you could send him a message alright.. That sucks he got you like that. Im sure it is because of that "more than 15% of the average of what, 6 pay periods" thing. To tell the truth, I missed/got confused about that part the first few times I read over their deal, thinking it was 15% of the current pay period.

Is it normal for IML to send you an email saying you should update your cover photo or whatever? I think someone named John sent it to me. I was kind of offput, to be honest, because its the same photo I use for SM, and I don't want to give free shows of my boobs...everything else I have is bare ass shots and I'm pretty sure those aren't allowed. Not majorly concerned, just wondering.

ETA: OK, so now IML is saying no chargebacks EVER??!

Sorry to hear about the chargeback. I'd wanna message the asshole too, if I were you, so I don't blame you.

But I think that when a member does a chargeback, he's banned from the site and his name disappears from your mailing list files (therefore there's no way to message him). I think that's how it works...not sure. But my question is...if that is how it works, then why do models on the ImLive forums warn each other about members who do chargebacks? If doing a cb gets guys banned from the site, then other models don't have to worry about those members, right? Well, unless those members wind up coming back with new accounts...

Yeah this is what I thought too, but unfortunately they do not always ban them (see post from Roast quoted below).

Pisses me off to no end that members are allowed to STEAL from me and the site and still put me at risk yet again.


Unfortunately if the person who CB is a higher ranking member they dont consistently. I have 2 higher ranking guys who were CBs who came back later - not blacklisted, nothing (I explained one of them in that verified theory-o-chargeback). I think they ban new members but longer standing ones theyre inconsistent about it. And I did contact Customer Service in each case but was told it was just an error that was fixed and there was no reason to ban them from the site --- but of course Im free to ban them myself. So unfortunately making a point to ban each person who is a CB may be a good idea? Esp if people post the guys by name in the forums.

Hello ladies, one question pls, does IML allow taboo roleplay at all? One guy wanted me to play bigger sis and i told him i am not sure it's allowed. I see on site girls with usernames URLILNAUGHTYGIRL, DADDYSGIRL, so on, not sure if mom/son and bro/sis are allowed cause obviously dad/girl is.

By the way, the rules listed on ImLive pvt chat window are:
"Please be advised that promoting defecation or any bodily excretions is strictly prohibited on ImLive. This also includes vomiting, drawing blood, or any self-infliction of pain to the point of physical harm. Should you be found to be engaging in such acts, your account will be frozen and subject to investigation and you might forfeit all earnings."
So nothing about age play or other roleplays.
Thank You, cant hear to read what u ladies have to say xxx

10-16-2013, 08:10 PM
@AliceFun: All I know is that ImLive is one of the more strict cam sites. I remember when they had given a bunch of us warnings for having the phrase 'school girl' in our profiles. They said that if you're gonna use the phrase 'school girl', you must have '18+' beside it...otherwise you will be suspended/banned.

If you're in doubt about something being within the rules, you should e-mail Customer Service with an inquiry and/or ask on the model forum.

IML is now accepting online checks for payment, I notice. They must have just started accepting payment this way, Its always been credit card or wire transfer in the past. Cool.

10-17-2013, 01:11 AM
If doing a cb gets guys banned from the site, then other models don't have to worry about those members, right? Well, unless those members wind up coming back with new accounts... They wont always get banned, they get the chance to pay up and are on the blacklist, They cant buy credits to see anyone until they pay their debt, When they dont want to pay up, some will come back with new accounts. And they arent very creative with the names or how they behave in prvt 99% of the time.

awesome that they now accept checks for guests to purchase credits. we need more options. Keep the name of the guest who did the cb, if you see him online and esp if he comes back to your live chat, that means he paid his cb back. but so far you have to ask for it. I had a guy once pay his cb back, he came in my room, i was like, i thought he was on the black list. so i emailed silvia, sure nuf i got the money back. so keep a watch on your guys who do this. im so sorry you have to go through this. I think eventually they will come up with a way to automatically pay us our cb back, for now this is what we have to do. and watch the forums cause if someone mentions his name, you can assume he paid it back, otherwise how would he be able to buy credits ya know? best wishes to you

wow.

In all the years I've been on ImLive I have never ever ONCE gotten paid for a chargeback later. So since you asked, they paid you?

Now this makes me think they have been actually cheating me by keeping the money. I honestly thought they were banned until Roast posted about it.

WHY should i have to keep track of these assholes who stole from me? WTF am I giving a percentage to ImLive for then? Are they not supposed to handle the billing? If I'm going to have to track down chargebacks and hunt them down I want way more than 30 to 35%!!!!

Maddie67
10-17-2013, 09:50 PM
eventually they will come up with a way to automatically pay us our cb back, for now this is what we have to do. i wrote to cs a few years ago over a similar situation to verterancamgirl's, and I was also given my money back. Wasnt much, but still. And yes, was a pain in the ass to get done. It probably wouldnt hurt to write and ask if there are any refunds due to you, since there is no automatic system of refunds as far as I know at the moment. Hopefully we will get it and maybe better ways of navigating our guest files/ transaction history.

laurielegs, its like this, I seen a guy join my discount club and remembered he did a cb on me in the past, so then i knew he must have paid it back, so i emailed them and said he bought credit so did he pay it back, they said yes and immediately credited my account. so i wasnt keeping track of him , it just so happen that i remembered him. I hope we never have to worry about this again, they are really working hard to change things on the site, lets not focus on negative, stay positive and things will work out, they always do muahhhhhhhhhhh

Same here....I'll "think about it".... I started there 6 years ago. I still have my account, but when I raised my prices to $4.80 a minute, it tapered off. Sorry but charging anything less just isn't going to happen. I'm $5.99 on SM and have no problem getting shows.

Arghh! Is anyone else having major tech problems today? Normally under the cam options I have three choices (my cam, my integrated cam, and splitcam.) Now it's showing as 4 or 5 cams with different numbers and my feed keeps going out even as I'm looking at my room. A lot of the time it'll be fine, then suddenly the video is out but the audio (which is coming from the same source!) is still going... and as I'm checking my room it says I've logged off (even though it doesn't tell me on my end.)

I was whining about this out loud to essentially no one, as people were in my room but who knows what they could see/hear.

Lots of glitches this weekend for me as well. Though I did not have the "going offline" one, or new extra cameras showing up, for a while my preview video pane looked all screwed up, I kept "falling out of the party" and had to log back on over n over. Definitely issues happening. Here's to a smoother running week ahead..

Damn. I logged into ImLive, and when this guy buzzed me for private I noticed that my video froze up. I accepted his private request just so I could immediately type to him that I'll "BRB." I exited and re-entered, and then the video's been fine from that point on. But he hasn't come back. :( I'm not splitcamming, I wasn't running ManyCam or any other software, and I have a good internet connection. So maybe it was just one of those occasional 'when shit gets fucked up' moments.

Also, I wish we could message guys first without them having done private (of more than 20 seconds).
