So i'm gonna be trying out different rates here. I put $3-$4 on my profile, and im judging it based on what they want.

For some reason, everybody turns their nose up at my couples shows rates of $5/min

I'm really glad it worked out for you Jupiter unfortunately for me it was a colossal waste of time and I won't be paying for featuring again. Maybe my rate of $5 a min is too much for the cheapos, I got a lot of contact requests but they all wanted to haggle so I just removed them again.

I dont think your rate is high at all. I think too many charge to low on there so there are a lot of cheap guys on that site. A lot of the indy sites are getting an influx of performers charging $1 to $2 a minute. I wish all cam sites made a minimum rate and no one could charge less then $3 a minute.

Hi girls! Just to make sure, is the site back to normal now? Do they already have a new payment processor up and running?

Also, how long does the New Model status last?

I understand why a couple of ladies said that the rate of $5 a min is a bit high however I won't ever lower it because it's not worth it for me to work at a lower rate due to the exchange rate on top of the cut CMD/BM takes. I would rather drop a site than work for less than I'm comfortable with.

I get lots of shows/customers at $5 a min normally it was probably just the site settling down etc. but I wont be paying for featuring again it is a waste of money, just brought more timewasters my way no extra $$$.

Case in point when it comes to rates I increased my price on SP from $5 to $10 a min for no other reason than I felt like it and I got MORE shows, BETTER QUALITY shows and LONGER shows. So... go figure!

If CMD is turning cheap I will ignore it until the real men return.

Yes, it's up and running again. I don't know how long new model status lasts, but I'm not sure it's especially helpful on CMD anyway. With Skype shows, scammers love new girls, but good customers tend to prefer someone who's tried and true. Making ads in all the categories that are relevant will probably benefit you more than new girl status.

@Teddy_Bear I agree with your rates and attitude. I charge $4-5 per minute across various indie sites. On NF, I charge 5/min for phone with cam, which is probably twice the average rate (girls on NF are oddly cheap), and I get shows with zero complaints so far.

I would like to apologize for my comment about the rates. I myself have been going back and forth the past few days and it makes me SICK to my stomach to charge less than $4/min (I'd rather charge 5 or 6)

For all the time we give to our clients, and the shit we put up with. We deserve more.

You're such a sweetheart. But I really dont think you need to apologize for making a suggestion? When I look at that site the first three rows have women who are charging under $3? Including the ones with the "Top Model" label. So it's not that bad a theory. :)

You dont owe an apology at all. Its hard to pick a rate on indy sites and right now Im at $4 a minute. In the fall I will raise it to $5 a minute and hope for the best.

So sorry Jupiter I didn't mean to make you feel guilty and I feel that my post didn't attack you in any way, it acknowledged your comment and then I gave my own. I would never attack anyone for having a differing opinion to me!

As for rates different rates work for different people. People tried to tell me I wouldn't make a dime on TTM at $4.99 a min for Skype shows (I officially requested the rate increase from support) and my check this week says very different bb. It's called trial and error for a reason and I can afford to wait it out for the big spenders to happen along, many others don't have that luxury and there is nothing wrong with that :)

Hi! Kinda a newbie, especially to CMD. I just signed up and, after verifying my email, my account says that I should "Please contact the site administrator to complete the verification process" (which I assume is the Skype interview?) However I can't find any details on who or how to make contact. Or will someone send me a message directly to my Skype to organise verification?

EDIT: I lovely helpful person has answered this for me :)

I didnt feel attacked. :) we are all good.
I've went more completely independent lately. Cant handle the broke ass people on CMD anymore but they are everywherrreee. I have been getting skype shows on MFC and get a lot of guys that chew me out and call me expensive for $3/min.

Yes. You are right. I am expensive and you are cheap.

I miss the daily bump that was only cost $10 per month. The money I made from the weekly feature doesn't come close to the daily bump with the old layout.

xxtinamariexx
07-23-2017, 07:21 AM
Yep I made more money with paying for the daily bump.. I was usually one of the top girls.. but not any more. I barely make anything on there any more. which is sad.. Is I liked the way it was, wish he never changed it... not sure if he makes more on the girls bidding? because honestly if y'all are bidding and no one is making money... then wtf is going on? is mark the only one making money?

This month so far I made 70$ here. The month before the site went down I made 600$ my cut.

I am afraid this site will be done with soon. I really am. I hope it isn't going south because I made easy money here with just being logged in, but all my customers have vanished.

you said you do mfc as well, if you mention somewhere in your profile you can sometimes do bg skype shows guys on mfc will buy them.

cmd has been slow lately for me too. Use to get a ton of fetish guys, not sure if it was the rules change, or the payment processor going down or the combination but they all disappeared. Last few times I added guys on skype that said they came from cmd they were all trolls, like a bunnnnnnch of trolls added me all at once, dunno what was up with that.

I've definitely noticed a change after that whole payment processor fiasco. I started working this site in February. So, would it be safe to say that it's dead because it's the summer? Was it like this last summer?

I think customers are not wanting to pay on CMD anymore now that they know other options to pay. So many of their customers keep asking for Paypal or Google wallet. Its like a blocking fest on there now. No it wasnt this dead last summer, no idea whats going on

The first week back was slow for me, and it still not as much traffic as I was getting, but I'm attributing that to summer. Still at $500 and some change for my cut so far this month, so its still working for me, at least. Not fall/winter money, but still decent. Lost 99% of my old clients though, all the traffic has been new.

Really? I had guys asking if I take other forms of payment before the processor incident.

KatyBoleyn
07-25-2017, 09:13 AM
The site was left up when the processor was down, so we saw the people on there scrambling to pick up the clients that don't normally work there. People with their own websites or people notorious for using (and losing) PayPal...it was like vultures at a carcass. We figure he will bounce back soon enough (and our own numbers are showing that). The good part is that it happened in summer so the damage was minimized.

JaneBurgess

I had it occasionally before the payment processor issues. Now its literally about 85 percent of the guys contacting me asking about paying via PP or GW. They all claim they cant pay via CMD

I indeed had a lot of guys claim CMD declines their cards. Mark says it is their card that is giving the problem but I doubt that.

Had them pay through ManyVids so I didn't lose sales. Not going to let my business suffer from this bullshit.

SP is Skyprivate, another indy cam site. She was talking about a boy/girl Skype show on MFC. Mark changed the site I think about a year and a half to two years ago. Personally I liked it better before all the changes. Ever since it just seems to be about half freeloaders

Yes I know what SP is, just didn't know that acronym as I never hear anyone talking about them. I barely get anyone on their either :(

Thanks for the bg explanation too.

Oh boy - I'm not used to indy camming yet. I've still really wet behind the ears, though, so that's to be expected.

Can anyone confirm for me - I should be able to see when a client pays me on the /my-sales page, right? I heard it only takes a few minutes for the pay to show up? (I'm making sure pay comes through before I turn on cam).

Having Skype on my phone is a god-send. I keep getting msgs. Nothing exciting, just people asking to friend. Still «spinny-eyes»

08-02-2017, 10:43 PM
Yes. It doesn't even take a few minutes on CMD (well, a couple of times--out of thousands of payments over the years--it's taken a minute or two but that's honestly really rare), it's almost always instant. If it's not on your sales dashboard then don't do the show.

TooNiceToHustle
08-03-2017, 12:22 AM
When they add you, always check them in the "Crooked Clients" database. A lot of women there prefer to only add guys for a show and keep only regulars. The opposite strategy is to add everyone who is not a scammer and doesn't try to get free dirty texting sesh. The advantage of that is that guys like "collecting" girls, and when they want to spend, seeing a green Skype status makes the decision to pick easier.

And if a guy says he paid and after a couple of minutes there is nothing there, please contact Mark. There is either a glitch or, more probably, the guy needs to be added to Crooked Clients.

ep2002

SuperPookie
08-04-2017, 11:44 AM
^^me too. Also they refused to add a abusive client to the list simply because they had spent money.I'd say as a general rule unless a guy actually commits fraud then they're not getting added.

Oh boo hoo hoo, I'm such a meanie, not giving you free porn that you can definitely find videos of on porn websites. Boo hoo hoo hoo.

Excuse me while I laugh at my latest 'client'. Meanwhile I've had five people expressing genuine interest tonight, 2 of which actually bought shows.
