I'm $5 a min across all indie sites and do very well. It varies on where the money will come from on a given day but I usually get a couple of indie shows a day to bulk up my big box site money.
I have stipulations that they have to pay for a $50 show if they want to control my vibrator or $100+ show if they want anal with toys same as I do on SM. If they don't want to keep to those stipulations they don't get what they are after, end of.
I never yield to all their begging and demanding either nor will I ever lower the price.

Easily CMD. They have much more traffic.
I find the quality of Sky Private customers to be extremely low. While I still make money there - the vast majority of customers are the type to jerk off to your pics for 10 mins - call you, cum in 90 seconds - so you only get paid for 2 mins. A CMD customer is investing time with you and willing to spend money up front. I think it's worthwhile to login to all of you skype sites while you're online (you have nothing to loose) I wouldn't rely on SP.

I charge $3 per min for most shows, depending on length. I offer everything I offered on big box sites, however I was never one to put in much physical effort (no dildos in me, anal, couples shows, etc) so I don't mind. I also never liked doing group shows, I know a lot of girls hate missing out on private or gold show money and feel like they could be getting paid 2x, 3x, 4x more if they were on a traditional site camming for multiple guys at the same time. However, I'm VERY interactive and engaging in shows so that didn't work well for multiple guys. I rarely got multiple guys in private for long and even when I did it was awkward and I didn't enjoy it. Also, it was exhausting trying to keep them in private, stressing out about how to stretch the show etc. I really prefer knowing how much time we have to work with and being able to plan accordingly. Also, not having to sit in free chat lets me work MUCH longer hours.
So, basically, while my indy prices aren't too high (the equivalent of charging a bit over $6/min on Streamate), it's a much better style of camming for me so I'm able to make much more than I did working big box sites.
YESSS to all of the above. I also charge $3 and take home much more than I ever did Live Streaming, $3 is pretty standard for a quality show.

I also charge $3 a min and won't ever go below that. I'm starting to branch out and things such as Hypnosis which are a minimum of 20 15-20 mins, so I can get a decent amount in one session.

I really prefer CMD guys over all other sites. They seem more intelligent and willing to spend more money. (I'm nikkinikkinikki on cmd Hey girl hey <3 )

Hi Ladies
Just wanted to give you an update since my last post. I couldn't do a featured spot last week as I had some family stuff going on, but I put in for a featured spot this week and have made over $700 in sales so far. So it's definitely possible to still make decent on CMD! A lot of that traffic I did bring to the site myself, but I did get some new custies via CMD also. What worked for me was having a fetish/domme image to attract the fetish custies. Have always found these guys to be the most loyal. I also tarted up my profile, and did a little video clip, which at least a couple of new custies said attracted them to buy a show. My old regs also mysteriously found me again. Pretty certain a combination of me putting in the hours and being seen at the top helped with this.
So, all in all it's been a pretty decent week, I've just had to work much longer hours than previously, but that's okay for now. Don't give up on CMD - as it can still be a nice little side egg especially leading up to Christmas :)
I tried 1st time ever this week to put in for a Feature Spot even tho I couldn't afford it I went up to $57 but dang it if it didn't jump up to $212 before the cut of at 9am Sat! I am not making it in this industry at all and am not even making $200 a week anymore let alone spending over $212 for a Feature Spot for just one week! That costs should be for the whole month!! So is it really true that if you pay/bid the most for a Feature Spot for the week that you get much more traffic as opposed to someone on the 1st or 2nd page? I was at the bottom 1st page and now I am at the mid 2nd page now but I have noticed the last month & 1/2 my Skype/Indie Traffic has lessoned a lot like everything else.

Sorry I realised I didn't really answer your question! I've only ever spent $60-$90 on bidding previously. My cut off point is $100. I've never seen it go above the $120 mark, but perhaps there was a lot of competition this week?. I didn't put in for a featured spot today, but last week I did and made approx $400+ in sales. The week before, it was approx $700 in sales working roughly the same amount of hours. I would say bidding for me is a calculated risk because I'm seriously lazy with my promotion on CMD. You could get that one awesome custie who finds you on CMD and can spent a lot in one go (Thank you Hypno guy!) and then become a reg. But I also realised 70% of traffic I bought to CMD came from guys who wanted tribute shows from other sites. So that alone would have boosted my visibility to perhaps near the top without the featured spot. Anyways, I would definitely try for a featured spot one time if you are struggling like I was and near the bottom. Just wait until it’s a better week with the bidding and use CMD as a side egg. Also pimp your profile to the max! Video clip, gifs and nice images can really help. Good luck!

Not sure if I am understanding this right, but if you are bidding, you only need to beat the lowest or few lowest bids right before bidding closes to be in the Featured Listing group. Esp when experimenting, you are right it is a bit crazy to bid yourself to the top. Honestly last month was slow for me too so I put energy into other things as well as being available and reminding current clients when I am. Keep in mind the 80/20 rule, 80% of income comes from 20% of customers, esp for us (maybe not so much with token tip sites where all the nickels add up).

Yeah, I didn't beat the lowest-I got up at 4am and cancelled out my other bid and bid $56 or $57 which put me at #1 spot for time being and went back to sleep but forgot to set my alarm to wake up before 9am to re-bid if I needed too-with in those 4 hours the lowest bid went up to $77 so yeah I was knocked out-I'll try again for it later on this week probably won't even bother bidding for it until Sat morning before the cut off.

Do any of y'all be on Niteflirt or Talk to me while waiting for shows? And when y'all get a show how does it go is there like a thing that pops up saying a customer wants a show or...? I'm getting verified tomorrow though Skype and I want to start tomorrow but I want to make sure that I schedule phone and cam at the same time or make them have gaps between the two.

Thanks! For some reason the search on this site only showed me stuff from 2012!
A good way to search the site is by using Google. type in: stripperweb + cammodeldirectory + placement, stripperweb + camming or whatever. It will give you a more detailed search due to the constant activity on this site. Google crawls this site everyday.

The customers will add you on Skype, from there you can chat with them and arrange the show. When a payment's been made you'll get an email from CMD and a notification on your CMD dashboard. You won't just get a show without warning (or you shouldn't, if he pays without asking first and expects the show immediately that's super rude and not the norm), you have to talk with the guy first so unless you get too busy to keep up with both phone & cam I wouldn't worry about it.

Ok, So I just placed a bid 15 min before the close this morning and I ranked at #5 on the Featured Model List for this upcoming week- So am guessing and hoping my CMD traffic will now triple this week starting at midnight tonight? I never get any & I mean any CMD shows anymore-I get an occasional time waster here & there but that's it & I am still on the 2nd page!! So my question is: Does the traffic really start picking up once you become a Feature model for the week? I am not making crap on SM anymore so gave that up) Went back on IMLive and a week ago I made a little something but wasn't quite $100 for the day and then after that it went to crap & haven't made but like $19 since and all 3 of my Indy Skype sites are dead now too. (I have 3 mths back due rent I need to pay by end of this week or I'm out of here... ) Does anyone know how the Featured Model traffic works and if it's a great influx or not and if I diff will be able to make back the money I bid for? I hope to get a great influx in traffic as my life depends on it right now. (If I can make bank with Featured Model I will be so greatful so that I can pay all 3 mths rent to keep my place and then start busting ass on finding me a real job outside of camming again as I can't take this anymore....the below min wage bullshit and not being able to pay rent or bills or buy food etc. has got me so worried & causing me too much anxiety-especially when you are putting soo many hrs into tryng to make money to support urself every week. It's draining!!! I live in such a small ass town that no one is hiring for medical office or medical billing or any other office work. It sucks but if I can make really good money and get good paying CMD traffic w/ this I will start going to temp services etc again for work.

My only other advice is to put a gif in your profile, and make it look nice. Also, set up multiple listings in different categories.

Another thing that could help is to tweet about random things about your day, or take random selfies talk about your hobbies or interests. Because I took a peek at your Twitter and you literally have nothing but Auto-tweets to your Indie cam sites. Having "Internet Model" in your Bio is very vague And that plus the auto-tweets kind of makes you look like a fake spam-bot model. You run a high possibility of being shadow banned from the auto tweets too. By that happening people won't see you and you're basically invisible, And if Twitter is your only means of Advertising thats not good. :( Create some type of character of personality and specialty because if you don't then you're just a pretty face in a sea of others. What do you do? Fetish? Vanilla Shows? Nobody knows because your social media is all about you and your brand. So spending money on placement when you aren't even drawing your own traffic is basically throwing it in the trash can.

This x100. I pulled up some "social media post calendars" on pinterest and just make different posts for every social media site based on those. It gives you a bit more depth and makes guys eager to get to know you. Just keep with your persona as you make posts and you are good to go!

Pinterest is a monster if you are using it for work. It was definitely a big traffic driver for me (better than any social media site), but dudes will send you dick pics and pinterest will not ban them for having a board of dick pics, but will ban you for having anything suggestive. I think I went through 2 or 3 accounts. I gave up on it and just use other people's marketing ideas from there.

Big blocks of text make men run. These guys have short attention spans and it gets even shorter when they are horny.
A profile redesign will make a huge difference for you.

A guy has been messaging me from there on Skype for a couple of days now saying he wants to do a couple of hours long shows per week and is looking for a new regular girl as his old one got married. I just replied now and then when I saw his post cause I don't actually cam weekends. Anyway tonight he's like 'great, I just need to verify you on cam then I'll send over the money'. I'm like dude I'm verified EVERYWHERE, my accounts are years old, have pics and vids! If you really want to check me out its $5 for 1 min. He laughed abd said ok there's others who will, then blocked me! Checked the crooked list abd yep he's on there as a time waster. So WATCH out ladies - skype name SoCalm.

No I don’t have not one review on my profile-a lot of my CMD shows I felt always went well too but none of my customers gave me a review. I gueee I will need to start asking them after the show if they could rate me to get me to stand out a little more. As far as listings I have created as many listings as I could that applied to me, only other thing besides asking them to go back to rate me after shows is to create GIFs I haven’t done that yet.

Ok wtf is up? I diff placed #5 at 12 min before end of bidding at $76 and its now after 12:30am midnight and I am not no where on the damn Featured Lists???? It's the same damn models just they are now in different positions on there? maybe like 1 new one? I know I was #5 on that list at 12 min to close. And from what I read they bill u for the amt u bid right? It is either taken out of ur earnings that week or a credit card? I was waiting for them to take it out of my earnings as I already made $56 on there. I do not know how the credit card option works I looked into my acct and plus I have no money at all in my checking acct so from what I read it said the fee would be taken out of ur next payout??? WTF this is bullshit!

Melinda - Did you actually win a featured spot for the week? Usually if you are paying via credit card you just need to give the site owner a heads up you are doing so, and he will send you a link to your email where you can pay for it. I did this about 3 weeks ago.
The bidding can get a little crazy right before the lead up to Christmas. Usually, if you are placed at #5 12 mins before the end, you will have been outbidded. It's the last minute where the bids increase a lot, so you need to keep an eye on it right until the end.
The site has changed a lot since I joined almost 18 months ago, so you're doing to have to try harder to get a show. Random auto tweeting over and over again will probably do nothing I'm afraid. I would start on your profile first. Tart it up to the best of your ability. Men are very visual creatures, so make a short video where they can view you before buying a show. I did this, and got a good few sales from men who viewed my video and decided on a show. Clearly list what you offer too and break it down in a simple way. Make some short GIF's if you haven't done a video. Some of the top models on the site do this really well, so perhaps take a look at their profiles and get some ideas.
Then start promoting. Not just about the site, but funny random stuff as well. Build up your following on Twitter and again try and push for reviews if you can. Ask the guy right after a show so it's just fresh in his mind to leave you one. Let us know how you get on.!

I decided to freaking lower my CMD rate back down to $2.00 frm $3 as it seemed that's when I started loosing my damn traffic to see if I start getting my traffic back-Had to lower my fucking rate down from $2.99 Prem and even 3.99 Prem back down to 1.99 Prem & $2.99 Excl on Streamate too to see if anything changed and YEP!! Been screwing myself left and right for chump change on SM since I lowered my rates that cheap when I am worth soo much more....So to answer everyone's question on why soo many influx in the traffic of IN's & Out's of everyones rooms last 3-4 mths on SM it's b/c all the traffic on SM is now soo damn cheap they are all on a mission for the most cheapest gir!s!! But Eff it at this point, b/c I need bills and rent to be paid...and looks like I will have to freaking lower my price on IMLive frm 2.80 since no freaking traffic back down to $1.98 as thats when I noticed mths ago my paying traffic also went to crap! The sex camming Industry went to shit in 2017-All are very cheap...I just want to get caught up on my rent and bills asap then I'm done ...will be off to find me a real job! Honestly, I'd rather do live porn than camming b/c that's where the money is made! Just my opinion

When ur about to be kicked out of owing over 3 mths rent -then yes u will do what needs to happen-Im trying to get out of this biz too once I can meet my quota- I'd rather go full porn lol I just thought 7 mths ago yes Camming is where it is -since I was left jobless again- It's going to work right for me this week to reclaim my place I rent-then I'm out-and from what I researched camming has been going downhill for some time now sadly :( I pray I can eventually get a medical billing job again -love that job!! But I'm willing to do what I can do in this industry to keep my place I love and find me a job with a stable paycheck than to keep sticking it out here-in camming world - I lost my Direct TV cable, My Phone Service and about to loose my place doing camming the last 7 mths- time to get back into the working world for me ! At the end of the day u gotta do what u gotta do for yourself!! If I don't get out and find me a stable job & let this market drain me with no income to make me loose my place I’m gonna snap! Lol Thishas caused my anxiety to plummet worried about rent and bills to eviction!!! !!! I am afraid I'm gonna JUMP into computer to hurt all these cheap lowlife assholes bahahahaha-this industry from what I hear has totally bottomed out! I miss my old Insurance medical billing job with 5 hrs mandatory overtime making $26,000 w/ major benefit satisfaction and paid sick/vacation days –I choose having anxiety dealing with insurance companies arguing on getting my claims paid after submitting all the proper docs and in timely matter than having anxiety doing this and being degraded by worthless cheap men!

CMD has been popping for me the past couple of weeks with newbies and a couple of old regs that have returned now they are aware the card processing issues are fixed (took them long enough!) I wish the guys would read my social media more often this info is always there for them. Indie in general has picked right up and I am soooo pleased the other day I had reached $150 in half hour before I even logged into SM all from new guys I'd never met before.
I love CMD/LCMS/IB the most where they pay for their show upfront because I know a certain amount is guaranteed rather than SP where it's PPM and I can either be pleasantly surprised or aggravated they don't even stay long enough for me to get my boobs out lol.
Oh and just as a FYI I'm $5 a min across all Indie sites in a sea of $1 a min girls and do just fine.

When ur about to be kicked out of owing over 3 mths rent -then yes u will do what needs to happen-Im trying to get out of this biz too once I can meet my quota- I'd rather go full porn lol I just thought 7 mths ago yes Camming is where it is -since I was left jobless again- It's going to work right for me this week to reclaim my place I rent-then I'm out-and from what I researched camming has been going downhill for some time now sadly :( I pray I can eventually get a medical billing job again -love that job!! But I'm willing to do what I can do in this industry to keep my place I love and find me a job with a stable paycheck than to keep sticking it out here-in camming world - I lost my Direct TV cable, My Phone Service and about to loose my place doing camming the last 7 mths- time to get back into the working world for me ! At the end of the day u gotta do what u gotta do for yourself!! If I don't get out and find me a stable job & let this market drain me with no income to make me loose my place I’m gonna snap! Lol Thishas caused my anxiety to plummet worried about rent and bills to eviction!!! !!! I am afraid I'm gonna JUMP into computer to hurt all these cheap lowlife assholes bahahahaha-this industry from what I hear has totally bottomed out! I miss my old Insurance medical billing job with 5 hrs mandatory overtime making $26,000 w/ major benefit satisfaction and paid sick/vacation days –I choose having anxiety dealing with insurance companies arguing on getting my claims paid after submitting all the proper docs and in timely matter than having anxiety doing this and being degraded by worthless cheap men!
What sites are you currently on? You could start making clips and work a range of different PSO and text based sites if camming is giving you a headache.

I lived well below the loading button for 5 months, if I hit 80% in a month it felt like an achievement. I decided this needed to change! I revamped my whole profile, updated every single listing, and added some new ones, took all new pics, and lowered my price from $4/min to $3/min took a new main profile pics and added writing NEW PROFILE NEW PRICES, and bid... and my whole life changed! It can be done. You can do it. I have ranked all over the site and have been there for a year and a half and in my experience you MUST be above that loading button, or it's a real struggle. Do all these things, BID, make sure the week you bid you are as available as possible, take advantage of every minute. Think of it as a relaunch! Use this week to build momentum, toward the next week and the next. Make money, improve your rank and gain regulars.
Go girl go. You can do it.

I am not doing all them vids for cheap ass men!! lol I'd rather do real porn if I did that-CMD LCMS SkyPrivate (hate them cheap asses) IMLIVE, SM I am on ttons of websites-I plan to delete most of them & my social media when I get an actual job. I just got 5 requests yesterday on Skype I bet half of them were CMD-Not gonna preform well for them anymore either since I am back to $2 for them ..That goes for IMLive and Streamate customers too-I'm gonna do more of a riding show for those customers and just fake orgasms and not even put anything in my vagigi since the only way I can ever get them to take me private is by $2 a min then they will all get fake shows! haha

I haven't read thru all the threads of comments via me lowering my prices on CMD, SM, & IMlive but I just wanted to apologize to each and everyone of you for my high horse yesterday & if I had offended any of you I am sorry. I was just stressing over not making money in this sex cam industry for the last 7 mths & my rent & bills have been getting further & further behind. So I decided hell, I got drunk yesterday afternoon to relieve my stress and now I'm fine! lol. I do have a strategy and lowering my rates on CMD, IMLive & SM I'll have to do what I have to do to get paid shows. I don't plan on making those my main sites anymore once I can manage to get my rent caught up this week tho. I'm replacing them to make Cams my main site to work every day (once I start getting my bi weekly checks/deposits w/ Cams on a regular bases) as I love my customers so much on there-they never rush me when they do private shows with me & they tip lots & lots to play with me via my Lovense lush tip vibe I have, they are engaging customers & they talk & interact with you and never complain about my rates. I should get that Direct Deposit with Cams for whatever I finish making this week by 11/30 by next Thurs 12/7th then I will start having my bi weekly earnings w/ Cams for stable income (they have never let me down). I'll just run SM & IMlive split camming together 4-5 hrs max 5 days a week for the added income of $50 a day on each of the sites which will bring me $100 a day on both for added income towards my Cams income. (as it seems it takes 4 hrs on each of the sites to make $50 on both at my lower rates) If I manage to make $50 a day/$100 a day for both those sites I won't be working them at all on the weekends b/c those customers aren't worth my time to be working weekends. SP,LCMS,CMD I always have the sites logged in all day & night anyways waiting for the Skype requests to trickle in. (I will be turning my sound off tho on my cell & Skype when I am done for the night on Skype so they don't bother me during my off time (as they more so CMD & SP) aren't worth my time anymore stressing over putting makeup back on when I am in bed relaxing or staying up over 24 hrs to be there to get there requests at 11pm-4 or 5am wen 99% of the time they are all payment fraud or time waster, free chat loader custies) SO it should all work out after next week hopefully! :) Hope everyone has an awesome week and banks good this week! :)

Melinda - Did you actually win a featured spot for the week? Usually if you are paying via credit card you just need to give the site owner a heads up you are doing so, and he will send you a link to your email where you can pay for it. I did this about 3 weeks ago.
The bidding can get a little crazy right before the lead up to Christmas. Usually, if you are placed at #5 12 mins before the end, you will have been outbidded. It's the last minute where the bids increase a lot, so you need to keep an eye on it right until the end.
The site has changed a lot since I joined almost 18 months ago, so you're doing to have to try harder to get a show. Random auto tweeting over and over again will probably do nothing I'm afraid. I would start on your profile first. Tart it up to the best of your ability. Men are very visual creatures, so make a short video where they can view you before buying a show. I did this, and got a good few sales from men who viewed my video and decided on a show. Clearly list what you offer too and break it down in a simple way. Make some short GIF's if you haven't done a video. Some of the top models on the site do this really well, so perhaps take a look at their profiles and get some ideas.
Then start promoting. Not just about the site, but funny random stuff as well. Build up your following on Twitter and again try and push for reviews if you can. Ask the guy right after a show so it's just fresh in his mind to leave you one. Let us know how you get on.!
I thought I won it since I placed#5 on the top 10 bid slots-(I never entered my credit card info b/c I thought CMD would just deduct the bid fee frm my earnings as it stated they would by the next weeks earnings.) I am not worried about CMD or any of the Skype sites anymore now tho! lol I don't have the customers on CMD I used to have anymore where they pay for an hr text session or 15-30 min shows (most only want a 5 min session and that's not worth my time anymore and also CMD customers are 99% of the time all time wasters wanting to talk to u for over 20-30 min for free with no intentions of ever booking a show, or they are all payment fraud trying to get u to accept Paypal, Amazon or Google Wallet when they know very well the accepted forms of payments are. SkyPrivate is a joke too with there cheap 1-2 min wankies lol) (diff not worth me breaking my neck promoting for hrs on social network sites either) I have a strategy. My plans are to work 8 hrs a day at my cheap rates splitcamming Streamate & IMLive since lower rates work to get shows on those two sites plus I get daily pay for them) I need to make $250 a day on SM & IMLive which is $125 on each site and I only make $50 within 4 hrs on both sites at my low rates so will take me probably 9 hrs a day splitcamming those two to make my $250 a day quota for the next 4 days-to bring my rent up to date) Then I will be making Cams my main site as full time after this week since I make good money on there & my customers are awesome & will just do mon-fri 4 hrs a day to make $50 a day/$100 for both sites splitcamming IMLive & SM combined for added income to Cams-Next Thurs I will start getting my bi weekly direct deposit for time I put in & earn on Cams. So if I can just get thru and meet my quota this week and maintain SM & IMLive at $50 a day $100 a day for both 5 days a week (no weekends with SM & IMlive as they aren't worth my time to work on weekends) then hopefully things will start turning around for me) I'll work any Skype requests the hrs I am on the box sites-but once I am done for the day I am done so any Skype requests I get after the makeup comes off I'll just decline unless they are at least 10 min

CMD has been popping for me the past couple of weeks with newbies and a couple of old regs that have returned now they are aware the card processing issues are fixed (took them long enough!) I wish the guys would read my social media more often this info is always there for them. Indie in general has picked right up and I am soooo pleased the other day I had reached $150 in half hour before I even logged into SM all from new guys I'd never met before.

What is IB? If I may ask? I have never heard of that Indy site?

I recently signed up on CMD and I have to say I love it so far! The fact that I don't have to sit in free chat and drain all of my energy chatting up time wasters and being cute and peppy constantly is amazing. I customized my profile with canva and it looks so good! It's easy as hell to make your profile look great. The guys are also super nice and easy to please. I can't wait to have it on when I'm streaming on one of my other sites to maximize my earning potential. For now I have been busy keeping CMD, TTM and NF on all day but damn this site is great :D and they are on Boleyns daily pay ermagerd.

So, I am online here quite a bit but my clicks seem to have died off. Is it worth making another listing? Will that push me up some categories? Or adding more pics or a clip? I am charging $4per min for a show but I charge the same everywhere and dont want to lower it really. Any advice would help. Thanks

I would say, make a new listing and then revamp ALL the listings. Use gifs, nice graphics, etc. to make it prettier. A lot of girls make their own banners or gifs. You can also change the main pic on each listing, so guys will think you are new.
And of course, marketing yourself outside of CMD. :)
