Ah and a reminder to those that didn't check last month - after payment processor change some of our ads had to be deleted. Check your ads, babes!

Pay for featuring and not one extra buck... ignore it completely in the background and have my busiest 7 days there in a long time. I give up. That's cool guys I'll just sit here and wait for you to throw money at me.

I think best case scenario, they would be cool doing a show with anyone in the group, and they just want to blast everyone to see who's available right away. Aside from being a little discourteous, it's not the stupidest idea ever.

In a less generous interpretation, they hope that having all the models in a group where they can see what each other are saying will get the higher priced models to lower their rates to compete for the show. This is a genuinely stupid idea because by the time we get to indie camming, most of us are cool with telling guys to fuck off and find someone in their price range. It's more likely that a whole group of models will chat together and learn that they can reasonably charge MORE than what they do currently.

Does anyone else ever have this issue?

I always have 2 pages open b/c of this issue below - the main dashboard, then one of my show pages open so I can see that it's green & I'm online.

Well about a year or so ago I noticed that I get logged off, but on my dashboard page it STILL says I'm logged in. The only way I know this is happening is b/c I see my show page has turned to red.

I've complained about it twice, but they won't do anything about it.

It's not my cache, I don't have this issue with other sites & I clear my cache several times per week.

It's not good that I get logged out. I don't know why it does that :(

Thoughts?

It never occurred to me that they do this on purpose... I always assumed that they were trying to add a bunch of girls at once or organize their contacts. God knows I've done dumb stuff like accidentally start a group conversation with three guys (AWKWARD... luckily the only paying regular involved thought it was hilarious.) Also the last one I had was very obviously an contact organizing accident so I'd say that's a safe bet for most of these incidences.

I wouldn't say a lot, but sometimes. The emails are just for convenience (and are actually less secure since they could be faked somehow), as long as it's on your dashboard (and he's not on the CCL for fraud) then you're safe.

how do you girls handle scheduling? Do you list in your profile the times your available and wait for clients to show up on skype after they pay or coordinate a time with them?

I am thinking about giving up on this site. I havent got a client in the last two months and all I get are scammers and time wasters.

And the customers that want to pay can't pay and Mark just says ' it is their credit card' . I just refer them to Manyvids because fuck it.

I wouldn't bother with scheduling shows unless it's a very good, dependable regular or they pay ahead of time. 99.99999% of your clients (or at least my clients) want what they want now, or at most in a few hours. Don't go out of your way unless you're being paid to do so, as in my experience the likelihood of it falling through is VERY high and then you've wasted your time and the opportunity to take other shows. Just take the shows as you get them.

The standard approach seems to be show yourself as online on Skype and your indie sites when you're available to take shows, and most guys will approach you wanting a show now or in the fairly immediate future (e.g. if you're about to start another show, they may be willing to wait a bit and be next in line). Like Procrastubator says, the vast majority of guys that want an appointment will flake on it. They're most likely sitting at work with a chubby, thinking that they totally want a show as soon as they get home. But by the time their boss yells at them and they drive home in traffic, they've lost their boner and don't see the point in paying anymore. Even if they paid for it while they're at work, they might flake out and then insist that you owe them a show at 4am when they're hard again.

Sometimes there are guys that make appointments and are trustworthy about it, but they're very few and far between.

DancesWithSloths

I schedule shows for regulars, and only when they pay at the time of scheduling. If I'm going to schedule, it's usually at a time when I wasn't going to make myself available on first come-first served basis, because if you're scheduling something for, say, 6pm, it's risky to take a show at 5.45 in case it runs long, so you lose a lot of time.

That said, I do love having a few dependable regs who schedule, because certainty about cash flow is nice.

Sometimes mine will say I am online but will show I am offline. I have to change it to offline again, refresh my screen, then change it to online... and refresh the screen. that is the only way I have found that it works.. and it goes the same with showing me offline.. I have to change from offline to online the same way.. refreshing between

Just so yall know---there appears to be some kind of glitch in the blocking on CMD. I started blocking countries known for "open cam bby" a few months ago. I thought guys were fucking with me when they said they couldn't see me on CMD. And then guys from countries that I had blocked were adding me from CMD.

I trace IP's a lot of the time (bc if they are from say--Sri Lanka--I don't even accept their request on skype)--so I confirmed that the IP's they were using were from a country I did not block (if they could not see me... e.g. Sweden) or were seeing me and were using an IP from a country I do block (e.g. Serbia).

After some experimentation with my own VPN---I saw that they had been correct all these months---

I don't know more--I emailed the owner and let him know. But if you are blocking countries, be careful. Some additional countries may not be able to see you (like half of Europe) and some you are blocking can see you--And none of these guys appeared to be using a proxy or VPN. I asked several of the guys if they were as well (when I could not detect a VPN or proxy) and they all seemed ignorant of what VPN's and Proxies were. So I seriously doubt that they were

I am only posting this because this could seriously adversely affect some women's privacy as well as their incomes.

Does CMD have a "camscore"? Do they have an algorithm in place that will determine the top spot based on money earned during a set period of time? SuperPookie says it would cost $90 to be in first place. Is that only what it would cost her to be there and someone else, maybe foxirox may only have to pay $30 because she makes more money in a shorter period of time?

SuperPookie
09-30-2017, 12:40 PM
^^^The top 10 spots are only based on the amount you pay for them and how far the bidding goes and doesn't take into your current earnings. Like a porn eBay lol. Your placing beyond those 10 is figured by your sales in comparison to the other models. Thus you could be the highest earner and still be number 11.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but that has always been how I understand it.

Thank you! So if someone spends $90 to be in that top spot then is it okay to assume that they must be making a lot of money to cover that?

^^ I've read of ladies not even making up the amount of bidding or basically breaking even and others saying it made a big difference so damned if I know lol. I'd like to try and see but not enough to spend $90 and potentially not even cover that.

Okay I'm back :) So what I'm wondering is...if someone makes enough on CMD to bid $90 to be in the top spot for one week and make that up, do they really need to bid in the first place? I'm thinking that being able to say make that money back at least two times over means that they're popular on the site with regulars and will have high visibility no matter what? It seems like the same people who are in the featured spots are also in the top row.

DancesWithSloths
10-01-2017, 05:43 AM
There's also a "top models" category for the highest earners (counter from the previous month, I think) and not all of those ladies bid every week.

I'm thinking about bidding one week when I know I'll be online a lot - I'd probably spend about the same as I spend on NF and AW (£6-9 for each day I work), and see how the results compare. (I have a budget for these experiments, because I'm a curious moo.)

I've just noticed the following on CMD FAQ:

"3. The model does not have a Skype on her ad. How do I contact her?
Some models prefer to only give out their Skype usernames to paying clients. All profiles and ads on CamModelDirectory have a contact form that you can use to message the model. Simply fill out the form and the model will receive an email with the information you include in the contact form."

Whaaaaaat? It's possible not to have every Tom, Dick and Harry knock on my Skype door, but use a contact form instead? I could be available for cam *a lot* more if I didn't have to pay attention to Skype 24/7.

Has anyone tried this magical option, and do they actually ever contact you?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

A few months ago the man who runs this site was EXTREMELY rude to me because I suggested that they impliment this. I got SO MANY timewasters and not ONE show on CMD, and when I suggested an option that would allow me to stay on the site and NOT have my time wasted, I was told this was *impossible* and that any site that offer such would not succeed. All while I was making great money on a site that offered that exact option, and is successful. OH YEAH and THEN a "representative" came to this forum with no intentions of even pretending to be a professional. That was adorable.

Ah, CMD days. They were few, and wish they had been even less.

I'm on my second month with CMD and although I do get my share of time wasters, but it sure beats the hell out of the time wasters on Streamate and MFC! I don't give guys much of my time for free. I give them about 4 lines of dialogue to make their purchase and do a show. I'll give them 2 shots too, if after the second time they don't purchase I just block! My time is precious. Not gonna spend it on a freeloader.

I have more than a few regulars who are on there as timewasters. Most of them I can tell exactly why they're on there, as they try that shit with me too (mostly their ratio of talking about getting a show to actually paying for a show tends to be way off.) However, I'm unusually tolerant of guys like that and just limit the amount of time I spend on them instead of outright blocking them, so it pays off for me. Whether or not that's worth it for you is for you to decide.

I have been a CMD model for four years now. In that time I haven't experienced any abuse from the site or the owner, in fact he has had a hands-off policy. Follow the rules, and you will be fine. I had an abusive customer when I first started who created a terrible review of me, and Mark gave it to me and asked what happened rather than allowing it to be posted. Any time I need a refund to happen it does. The current drama by one model who was taken off the site does not reflect the atmosphere of the site all all, in fact I find it to be relaxing now.

Ditto, I've really enjoyed the hands off approach and have never had a specific problem with the site, other than the exponential drop in traffic for me lately. A few things I've heard involving their 'support' being one of the models and her, basically, having access to all of our personal information is very disconcerting and deceitful, but that's also hearsay, so I can't really have an opinion one way or another.
