^ Great post! I totally agree. I make almost all of my money on Skype and I always add anyone who requests me unless they somehow manage to put me off in the first message/contact request. A huuuuge chunk of my earnings comes from guys who added me a week ago and see me online. Also, almost all of my contact requests happen when I'm offline so if I didn't accept guys who hadn't paid for a show yet I'd be losing out on almost all of my customers.

This doesn't mean that I need to keep them on if they turn out to be timewasters, but having them on my list costs me nothing.

@magical Thanks for reminding me of that post - I really need to take my own advice. I started screening people sometime in the past year (can't even remember why) but I'm going back to my old methods. It's honestly too much of a headache to keep screening everyone. Skype adds for all! :D

You can pretty much do/advertise anything on CMD as long as it isn't illegal! (like bestiality, etc)

I have a guy asking how many minutes he would get for $50 euros? My rates are $2.50 a minutes? Anyone know how many minutes that would be or how I would figure it?

pippapippa
12-22-2015, 12:00 PM
You would convert dollars to euros (google search will do this for you). Then divide 50 euros by your price per minute in euros. In this case, $2.50 is €2.28. 50 euros/2.28 euros is 21.9 minutes.

Okay, so this guy bought a show a month ago, and then right before I called him he was like ''Oops, I came, can we do it later'' and I told him it was fine, I would be around or we could do it the next day.

Never heard from him, until now, and he wants to do a show but not pay because he paid me last time for a ten minute show but never did it.

Am I going to get into trouble for telling him to pay again? I don't feel like it's fair for me to have to do it because of a mistake that HE made. If it comes to it, I'll find a way to give him a refund I guess but that's just...what the fuck? I said TOMORROW, not nearly a month after the day you paid.

If you never actually did the show, regardless of the customer's stupidity, that's still a cut and dry refund if he asks for it. Just email Mark and he'll put it through.

Just finished talking with Mark. I told the guy we can do it soon but not tonight after I stopped being irritated that he even asked, knowing full well that I'm streaming on another site. From a business perspective I understand, but nevertheless it's annoying. I was less pissed to have to do the show (he's hot lol) and more worried that if I didn't do it tonight, I would get reported for it. Thanks for the help Katy!

I just applied to work here, haven't been verified yet. I'm pretty sure it said on the signup page that check/direct deposit was a payment option but on my profile settings I only see payoneer as an option. Is that the only payment method available? :(

Direct Deposit is an option, that's what I get, but I think Mark had to set it up for me if I remember correctly

I just started on here about a week & a half ago & after the first week I sent Mark a short list of assholes and scam artists and his reply was quite rude. If he doesn't want to be bothered then he should just take the option to add to the Crooked Client list down. He never even bothered to put those I listed on it.

I just read through the contract and saw that Payoneer is the only payment option for models outside of the US, so I think I'll have to give this one a miss for now. Just a heads up for any other models outside the US.

I see you've already got it sorted out but I've found that a good way of handling situations like these (where you probably owe the guy something but it doesn't feel right giving him a whole new show) is adding the guy's time to a new show. For instance in this situation (or for me, it's usually situations where his internet cuts out 10 min into a 20 minute show or whatever--I wouldn't do it if he came early and decided to end the show) he could pay for another 10 minute show and then add the 10 minutes for a 20 minute show. I feel like adding 10 minutes to a show is a lot less work for me than a 10 minute show by itself and won't make me feel like I'm giving him something for free (since I'm getting paid again anyway), and he still gets what he paid for. Just something that works pretty well for me :)

Hi. Im new in CMD. and havent got any show from there yet. Is it still good?

scarlettbelle

This year has been great for me so far. Definitely a major improvement over last year. CMD (and indy in general) is much slower paced than big box sites. I probably average 3 or 4 shows per day on CMD, vs hundreds of customers on SM in the same amount of time.

Be patient, and use social media to drive traffic to your room. It takes time to build up regs. Having a decent sized following from other cam sites helps a lot too. There are tons of SM guys on CMD and they love the prices on there.

How does purchasing work? Does the client enter in any amount they want to spend on you? (like your price per minute and then the cost of any other goodies?)

There's a link on your various CMD ads that goes directly to your personal payment window. You can also cut'n'paste that link into Skype so he doesn't need to even go back to the site and fish around (I kept mine in a small text file handy).

When he clicks that link, he just enters an amount and his cc info and its done. You will immediately be able to see his payment on your CMD dashboard.

Yes, he will need to manually enter the correct amount. That's why it's a good idea to confirm with them ahead of time what the pricing is and how long they get.

So- I had this guy wanting a fetish show, but his Skype name was nearly the same as an email address on the crooked client list. I blocked him, and then he starts emailing me from the very same email on the list. I was a bit shocked, and told him he why he was blocked. Apparently we are not to tell that to the client (which makes sense). It turns out it was a mistake somehow, and he was removed from the list. I was a little taken aback that someone who's email is on the crooked list could still be a member of the site and contact me via email. Maybe it is something we as models can suggest as an improvement in the future.

Just a question for you ladies- how do you handle rollover time? A strict 'none of it' policy or do you try to be flexible?

scarlettbelle
04-18-2016, 03:10 PM
A lot of people don't allow any rollover minutes, and that's completely understandable. If you decide to do that, make sure it's VERY clear ahead of time so they can't get too pissy about it.

I personally would rather have guys buy a larger chunk of time rather than "play it safe" in case they don't last that long, so I do allow rollovers. BUT I have a limit to them. The shortest shows I offer are 5 minutes, so if they have less than 5 minutes remaining they'll have to add that to a new show.

I also don't schedule shows at all. If they want to continue the show another day, they have to work around my schedule.

I don't allow rollover minutes. If the customer has to leave early or he "finishes" early, then his remaining minutes are lost. If I had to leave early, then I would credit him for the next time, but that's never happened so far though.

I no longer sell pre-paid future shows further out than the current day. Honoring rollover minutes is like selling future minutes, so that's why I don't do it. Pre-paid shows for the next day and beyond never works out for me because my cam situation is unreliable. I pre-sold shows in the past and came to severely regret it, so I really, really don't like having to honor future minutes. One time I sold a ton of pre-paid shows to a customer (on KinkLive) that started making demands for things I don't do such as group camming with another girl, sex acts I don't do, 5 minute cum shows, etc. It was a constant problem dealing with his pushiness, so I don't like being put in a position where "firing" a customer is a problem.

I have 5 listings but i dont do nude shows, my shows are strictly domme without nudity. I had that written on my profile and then i saw that no one pmmed me, once ive taken this info out, pms started to come regularly again. This was yesterday. I didnt do any shows on there yet, coz i couldnt cam, but i will try on monday night.I had one guy willing a domme show even knowing i dont get naked, so maybe its a fluke....lol

OMG, yes, the sme has happened to me. Many added me and didnt even talk or booked a show at all the first day i got listed. I had like 10 guys adding me, only few asked abt a show and im not really into spreadig my money all over the internet. Like few bucks here, few buckes there. Im working mainly on aw and my site.

I've gotten 1 show from here in 6 weeks and that was from someone who has done shows with me before. I have 5 listings and they're hardly getting any hits at all once I dropped off the new model list. Literally under single digits for all 5 combined during a whole week. I think he's got it set up that way intentionally in order to make ladies bid on preferred placement.

How do you get CMD to promote you on Twitter? I see lot's of rt's and "check out" so & so's type of posts but I've never gotten him to do that for me and I tag his page everytime I do a post about being on CMD.

FreakyFranky
06-02-2016, 08:40 AM
I've gotten a few shows here, but I've found the only time I do get a show is if I'm logged in, set to online, and if I respond to them as soon as they add me on skype - I dont add anyone until we actually have a show paid for, that way they can't call me whenever, cuz that's annoying, but as soon as I get a request, I respond asking if they want a show or a custom video and sometimes they say yes, sometimes they say nothing, but I have had a couple shows from that site. I do wish it had more traffic, cuz I love the higher payout and Skype is so much more reliable than, say, SM's platform.

Used to be great and with loads of traffic then mark ruined it. I think he must make more off the featured listing sales than he did on his % for each camshow sold. It's basically just a money making gig for him now, which is sad as it used to be a good site :(

Amen! I missed the old layout that had daily bump. I used to get $100+ a day when I worked. Saturday I was planning to do bidding and I saw it was $52 for the 10th spot. Majority of people who contact me are time wasters compared to three years ago. This is just another example to never depend on one or two sites.

Fucking lame. Makes me not want to work this site. I'll never bid for a spot cuz its way too expensive, I dont make that much off his site to justify that. Just makes me angry that it's always gotta go this route.

I actually get really good business from the site and can usually guarantee to get at least 2 shows every time I log in. If I stayed logged in enough daily, I probably could've made a lot more by now. I would say just make sure you stay logged in the whole time you're online and take any show you're willing to do! Every show boosts your placements. I've never bid for a top spot, and still do well with it.

For me, skyprivate sucks and I barely get good business from there, but CMD is great minus the freaks on the site who want you to do gross stuff. I just block them though :/
