you have to be in front of your cam if you're in free live chat on iml, not necessarily your face.. alot of hosts dont like to show their face, but you have to be in your room and interacting with them. If you're not in flc, you can walk away , hope this helps muahhhhhhhhhh

If you block someone on here, do they see it if they try to look at your room or do you appear offline to them? As I've mainly just had one guy take me pvt during my first 90 min paid (spread over a few days) but I have a hard time doing what he wants (nothing but deepthroat which I'm bad at as I have the worst gag reflex ever). Normally, I wouldn't mind getting better at something, but he is literally always on and it's keeping me from getting online here because I dread it so much.

I tell him that it's hard on me, and that I'd rather not do it, but I also wasn't giving him a flat out no until he wanted me to do it until I had to run to the bathroom to puke. Hence now wanting to ban him for that.

If you block someone they can not see your profile. If they try to get into your videochat it lets them know they can not access you. I agree about telling him this is just not your fave thing to do. If he really likes spending time with you, he will tone it down and let you do what you can / want to do. If he is totally into this fetish he will go find someone else. I try not to block many people, instead Im honest and try to offer something else. Choose words carefully - most guys are very nice. Ive been asked to do things which are physically hard for me, and I flat out tell them, dude, for ME this is too hard, I will do what I can do, watch this, and mmmmmmmmmmmmmm alot LOL they come to see YOU or they come to have their fetish , if its YOU he wants, he will stay. I wish you the best muahhhhhhhh

I understand your predicament, and have been there myself. (Typical of dudes to ask for all kinds of HC when you are .98 a min). But even if you were at top rate, dont dread him to the point of not going on, just go on. As the other ladies said, tell him you aint in the mood, block him, or play along. But please dont let one guy keep you from working, honey. Dont do things that hurt you physically, mentally, or monitarily. It aint worth it.

Hey girls, I saw there was a feature where we can do shows with other hosts (or something of that nature for lack of better wording). Do any of you use it, has it helped your earnings? I'd be willing to work with other girls if its helpful, still learning all the sites features.

VeteranCamModel
10-24-2013, 05:23 AM
Jennifer, yes its called Group Cams. Its very cool ! I dont get as many shows with it as I once did but there are some guys who still love it. The guy comes into your room (or the other host) he selects this button to invite another host to chat with you, you accept it, she comes in and he can view you both at the same time. The other host cant hear or see you, but they can see your text. Alot of submissive guys like this feature, to be dommed by 2 hosts. I have my favorite host who I recommend to my guys- I tell them shes online right now, its easy and fun. I offer almost ALL the features the site offers, you never know what might come your way. The more you offer, the more potential money comes your way. Have fun and enjoy. muahhhhhhhhh

while we are on the subject of users, anyone know about ibmikex? He comes to my room, always chats, never takes me private. I threatened to ban him last night, he was all, "noo please don't!" DUDE. Take me private then. You've been coming into my room since a week ago. Just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience. He has the $ sign next to his name, I know hes got credits.

At first I thought you were gonna say that he's been coming in your room for months. If it's only been a week, I wouldn't ban him just yet. If he's one of those guys trying to chat you up about sexual things like "What's the biggest dick you've seen? What's your favorite position in sex? You ever fuck White guys," etc., let him know that you'd love to give him all the juicy details in private. If it seems like he's just abusing free text chat, you could be like "So what can I do for you today? You wanna video chat with me in private?" or something like that. The guys trying to camp out in free text chat tend to run away real quick when you mention the word 'private'...lol.

I engage with guys on IML occasionally but I usually ignore the chat until I hear that ding! Yesterday I had 6 paid guys in my free chat and they were all complimenting me and none were going PVT. I prefer days when it comes to camming, for some reason at night, I get mainly freeloaders with the occasional regular. I've been signing in and ignoring the room until I get a PVT and it works for me because I'm only doing it to zap up the mandatory free chat hours. I still have 68 hours of free chat to complete even though I've been on IML off and on for 4 years. Shows how much I cam lol >.<

Good advice bbs! KK, I found when I ignored guys, I got pulled into privates! I was amazed by it! Also, if more than one guy wants to go pvt, I have been letting them, because to me it's extra $$. If these guys didn't want anyone interrupting their precious pvt, they should have taken me exclusive.

btw, Forgot this rant since I cant post it in their forum : Imlive sucks, I hate them sometimes. The traffic is all freeloaders, and when I ignore the cam, I don't get better results either. having a set schedule was working for us but this month is blowing hard. I leave my screen black in flvc sometimes just to see if there are actually creditholders coming in... There are and they leave. There were 40 squatters in my flvc and I'm in the party. If imlive were a voodoo doll, I'd run out of pins to torture it with. I really need to find somewhere else to cam, It's been a good two years imlive... but the benefits aren't outweighing the cons at this point. END RANT.

i dont blame you i put imlive on the back burner for now about a month ago i went back on sm a few days ago so now i do sm and cb and indie to many rude ppl demanding a free show and stuff on imlive and the users with credits seem to do nothing but pull wave and carrot in ur face and take advantage of you wanting to talk for free for a long time before they even consider taking you pvt. no one on there respects the fact this is our job and our time is important. have u tired another site and keeping imlive on in the background for pvt only?

CummingCouple
10-26-2013, 02:47 PM
SM didn't do very well for us since everyone expects a cumshot each pvt there lol so I might try it alone one day. Splitting isnt an option and my second computer is like from 2006 so I would need to upgrade. Tanks for your site suggestions!

Im happy flc is optional on iml. Unless you have to still fulfill your required time in flc, well, I dont do it at all. This works for ME. My theory about flc is, why would they pay if they see me for free. I have never understood this flc. I get paid to CHAT. My longest show was 7 hrs with one guy and all we did was TALK. If I was in flc, he would have never had the need to go pvt. So, the flc for me is not an option. Im sorry I just dont understand this concept. Soem girls do well there and can lure them into pvt. rock on ! But if its costing you traffic cause they just wanna sit there and yackity yack all day, why put yourself through all that. The best thing about iml, is everything is OPTIONAL. We are not forced to do flc, which to me is the way to run a site. CHOICES! If I HAD to do it, Id quit. They should limit the type of interaction which is given. Like, no sound, or just make the image tiny, they should not get a full free view or to be able to hear us. I fell in love with iml the first day I joined, 11 yrs ago. And they are still my favorite, cause they dont force us to do flc and I love the prompt for pvt. I dont want a guy to just pop into my room unexpectedly. Sheesh, I've got the Sunday morning vocal cords for some reason lol anyways, best of luck to everyone today muahhhhhhhh

As far as I know, iml is the only site with that incoming show prompt. I love that. The prompt, plus no mandatory free chat, makes me able to work there.

I started tonight on Imlive, and so far so good. I really liked it and the 90 minutes at $ 0.98 went really fast. I got a couple of questions , I'm sorry for bothering you but we don't have a proper Imlive thread so I don't know where to find the answers to my questions:
- Can guys change their screen name ?
- Is it good idea to activate my participation in the live viewer ?
- Is it worth to reply to the fantasies ?
- what about the message popping in about getting $300 to convert a guy who purchased only one credit ? does it happen often ?

Thank you girls <3

The $300 is a prize awarded to whichever host gets the most first time credit buyers to buy a second time in the pay period. They call it "Top Greeter" or "Best Welcomer". ( http://host.imlive.com/BestWelcomer.asp ) 1st place is $300, 2nd is $150 and 3rd is $50. Good Luck! Maybe you will get it! Ive heard different numbers on the actual amount of guys the hosts converted, but never were they astronomical numbers. :)

I need to vent really quickly. Ladies, how much do you average on IML per hour? I have a daily goal of $225 total, and IML's goal is $25-50 of that $225. For some reason, I can never make more than an average of $10 an hour on IML lately. After about 3 hours, I'm ready to call it quits and I ignore the room. It seems in order to be busy, I have to have my prices at $1.98-2.80 and we all know how painful camming is at $0.84 per min. The quality of men on this site is ridiculously cheap. I'm charging $4.99+ on SM and other sites with back to back pvts. Just on AW I made $80 in 23 min and I'm not even doing free chat.

When I raise my rates to $4.80-5.80 on IML they bitch and moan and I get maybe 3-4 guys. I literally entertained 5 guys earlier for a total of 18 min and got like, $12 for that. That's some bullshit. I'm only working IML like crazy because payout is due on the 1st and I'm scrambling at the last minute because of an emergency. I think after the 1st I'm done with IML for good. Fuck their no chargeback rule. I never got a cb on there anyway. They need to focus on stop offering up fresh meat at $1.90 and start raising the site's standards. I giggle when I go super slow with the 2 min remaining guys. I have like 65 hours left on free chat hours and the way it's going, I doubt I'll ever be able to use my paid mode.

laurielegs
10-29-2013, 04:09 PM
For me, $10 an hour or even less. That's why I only use it as a secondary site and I only splitcam with it when other sites are slow. Some days when SM is going well I don't even bother turning it on.

10-29-2013, 04:24 PM
Personally I average $25-35/hr on IML, charging $3.80/min. Not SM-at-its-prime kind of money but it's alright. I work free chat and don't split, and don't work consistently enough to have many regulars. It's true that IML custies are total cheapskates, which is why my prices are set at $3.80 as a happy medium. I still make over $1/min in pvt and they get to go on being their cheap-ass selves. :) Some things that help when it's slow are buying a hot spot (I've never bothered with the VIP, the regular ones work just fine) and replying to fantasies. If nothing else, the latter will get the attention of people who want what you're offering and hopefully they'll come see you at a later date. Plus reading the fantasies is entertaining as hell haha.

Got to try the fantasy thing. I've done VIP hotspots, it helps to get you noticed. Also all their little extras, like the club and stuff. I've made some money off of being in their club. Not the best site because of the cheapos. :-p

I usually am at $3.80 and have had guys pay that, however, I notice more guys bitching. I ignore the room anyway and I split so it's good to hear the chime when it happens. However, I noticed earlier that at $3.80, I logged on for at least 2 hours and had 12-15 guys in my room at all times with at least 5 visibly paid members (they had $ signs) and all they wanted to do was mooch when I did occasionally say hello. I got one paid show today at $3.80 which lasted a whopping one min, six seconds lol. Like, really? Yesterday, I did better, but still...the longest I get in paid are about 10 min. I've had a few take me at $5.80 or whatever but jeez. As soon as I dropped it down to $1.98 or whatever, I had 5 guys in my room for 18 min. That's just shitty. I can see if my traffic was extremely horrible, but there are always at least 15 guys in my room during the slowest days. Again, any other time I wouldn't GAF as I hate complaining but my earnings today were $200+ and only like, $30 came from IML lol... that's sooo weird.


**Edited** So, I looked back at my previous earnings and it looks like I averaged about $30 per hour. It must be me. I was also more engaging and now I flat out don't say shit unless I'm splitting with SM. I see it drops and goes up as one day I averaged $17-20 per hour, then the other time $30-35. Lately it's been $10-15 but I'll keep pushing until the 31st.

$25 to $50 usually but lately it has been more quiet for me...:( That fresh meat actually gets sold at .98 their first 90 minutes. Sad, I know. $3.8 is my rate. I offer discount club savings and 30 60 sessions. The fantasy forum is very helpful, be brief, be clear. Hotspot, and check your placement in the host lineup. If buried on page 4, try logging in again. Write notes to the online guests, they respond to them when they are personal. Of course, when its dead, its dead, thats when I go do something else :)

20-50 an hour has always been my average. I have made 100+ hr many times. (regulars save the day) Sunday was good for me, made enough to be able to log off rest of the day. BUT I have had many slow days as well, sometimes 10 an hour, but the next hour I make 50-75. so its pretty constant traffic, stay on as much as you can, regs build up quickly . muahhhhhhhhhhhhh

really? I have bad luck on Sundays then I always get 40 even an hour, every single time, never fail not even by a penny.
On an average week its 56-72.81 ( Im a big fan of excel)
I charge 5.80 normally but I gave out my 40 cent discount code for Halloween so right now its 5.40
I also have my discount club in which case it can be as low as 5. ( no VIPs are in my club)

Typically I work another job on Saturdays, so unable to be online. When I have been able to, It goes either way. Sometimes kickin it, other times 0 lol
Sundays have always been my best (regs) maybe cause they dont find me on Saturday.
I always keep my blast emails updated to let them know my schedule, that helps alot.
Fridays also very good for me. Its just hard to pin point it, thats why I always say, be online as much as you can.

what are people's opinion on IMlives live viewer where guests can see you for 20/cents a min?
Doesn't seem like it's worth it unless it generates a lot of traffic (and obviously-- that 20 cents better be my cut.)

also, what's the opinion on this:

"Allow guests to take live snapshots and record their sessions with you to share with other members, and earn as if you were online!

We allow Guests to record their Video Chat sessions with you, and take Live Snapshots, to view and share whenever they want, for two ImLive Credits more per minute than the original rate they paid to Video Chat. You will receive your regular commission rates for the viewing of the Recorded Live Session, so no matter what you're doing, online with another guest or offline, you'll still be making money for every minute your session is played! "

good idea or no?

The 20 cent a min is all your cut but the guys pay $3 a min, so we are a bit underpaid on that point. I have mine on but the money from it doesn't pay any bills, perhaps like $2-3 for my day online. but every lil penny helps so I never snub my nose at it.
I personal don't think it generates a lot of traffic, like you will not see 100 guys in your room because if it. Perhaps 1 or 2 is more realistic.

That option is for vid sales that the clients record, I don't like it. I record my own vids and edit them how I like and I can edit out any sounds I don't want in my vids ( like a car passing or something), I have a cute lil outro and I like it like that, I have total control.
The other day I had a private where a guy who wanted me to poke my belly out like I was prego, I don't want that shit to be record. so for me its a no go but you might do it and love so try for yourself and see I you like it.
