^^^ me either the very few adds I get ( & there are very few) are always by guys wanting extreme pedo stuff,scat,vomit etc) CMD has more serious creepers than other Skype sites

Is CMD the place most popular site for indie camming now? Or are there other sites? Thinking about expanding from SM to indie as I'm not too keen on token sites.
From what I remember CMD is where you use Skype right? So it's worth using a vpn? I remember reading something awhile ago that people can see your ip via Skype somehow.
Thanks!

Can anyone explain to me how to embed images and gifs directly into my profile? I click on the image link under "edit profile" and it brings me to the Roxy File Manager, which I can't add any photos to. I am very confused.

Right, so I click on "browse server" and it takes me to this Roxy File Manager. Then I upload a picture, but it still says "This folder is empty". I put up a pic.

Not necessarily, I've had some who were good customers. Not sure how you get a screen name like that, but they are still regular Skype users. :)

CMD pretty much died for me when they were down for a month. It used to be my main site and i didnt even have to do free chat on SM to supplement, only if I wanted, but I never recovered after that. Dunno why. I get a show there occasionally, but not like in the heyday.

That happens when you sign in with a microsoft account or a microsoft email. Eventually since microsoft owns Skype now they are going to make everyone do that, especially if you are using windows 10.

Same here. I used to make $500- $1k per week only from CMD, in 2016.
1 year later, I barely make $200 a month...
That says everything.

Exactly. I havent hit that %85 since they went down....and thats sad, cause before I got great, pretty steady traffic and could always count on at least a couple hundred a week from there. This week? $15 on CMD. Worst week I ever had on there.

I'm seeing the same thing you all are with the traffic dive after CMD went down. I wonder what happened to all the guys who used to buy? Did they go elsewhere or did CMD stop advertising? It's puzzling.

I think CMD is putting the base on models to bring their own members... that's all I can get trough my mind.

How long did it take you? Did you forget your p/w?

No you can't. These sites only use Sk & Skype SUCKS now.
So are all the " live:(different variations)" guys on here pretty much all frauds or time wasters?
live is Microsoft's (MS's) attachment to their e-mail addresses. I used to think you had to delete that part, but you can't.
When I recently signed up for a new SK account, they FORCED me to use that & I am not even on Win 10 :(

I never did extremely well, but it died down for me even before the credit card issues, but I at least got one or two calls a month. Now NOTHING :(
The girls who pay for placement must be making money, b/c it's expensive to advertise up there.
I did that initially, but then stopped b/c I didn't recoup my costs the last time I did it. :(

Just so everyone knows, MS is now FORCING everyone to switch to their Skype app that is MEANT for cell phones. :(
I had a regular on SP just over a week ago, & he was bitching about how SK had changed so much he couldn't do anything with it.
I didn't even know what he was talking about, but then it happened to me an hour later when I rebooted, that SK just updated on it's OWN without even fucking TELLING ME.
I have 2 computers, & on the camming one I'm still ok, but on the other one, every time I restart my computer it switches me to that terrible SK app.
Amazingly no one is bitching about it online (I don't see any threads), so they are clearly rolling it out slowly.
The ONLY way to get back to the reg. SK is to install the Skype classic. That's what they are calling it now.
You don't have to uninstall the app, just install classic & it will override the app, BUT the next time you restart, you will have to go thru the same BS again of downloing the classic again <sigh>
I HATE MICROSOFT!!!!

So right! even without camming, nobody needs everything linked to everything. Skype on my phone is adding my phone contacts to my skype list, linked to e-mails etc etc endless linking and more linking. Most people have their work life and personal separately.
On my personal skype I see my cam skype in recommended, plus my family on my cam skype (if used on phone) LMAO I blocked every person I don't want to get involved in my camming.
Stop forcing me into this cyber gang bang party errrrrrrrrrrrrr
Doing this, yet reducing privacy yet you cannot message w/o adding to skype contacts, yet you can call. Why you cant text but you can call just WHYYYYYY?????
What a brainless mofo does these skype updates?! They have zero logic.

That's MS for ya. The first EVIL CORP in the IT industry, although IBM probably was.
When they started the whole FORCING YOU to add strangers/scammers to your list just to talk to them I got VERY pissed.
I wasn't adding them & figured out a workaround, but now I've given up on that workaround since I never hear back from them & am having to add them to see if they are real or just scammers. Most are.
I read today that SK is going to come out with a paid (I think it's paid) encrypted service.
You do know they record everything we do/say on there & will hand it over to the you know WHO!!! :(

Nope, didn't get one. I take it you aren't in the US?
FC is better than Paxum, but if you are getting the debit card which if you aren't in the US I guess that's what you are doing then YES, it's terrible about the fees. That's why I got upset & wasted over a month of my life when SP & FC started going down the drain & FC said I could ONLY use their debit card, I could no longer get bank deposit. :(

Direct deposit works with any prepaid card you can get at the supermarket or gas station. We recommend NetSpend (https://www.netspend.com/), BlueBird (https://www.bluebird.com/), or GreenDot (https://www.greendot.com/). These are also available online. The fees are much, much lower compared to the FirstChoice card option.
The best thing though would be to simply get a real bank account or credit union account so you can start building a proper financial history.

The computer I was using for camming no longer works, so I am using an outdated one that I doubt will be strong enough to stream on the big cam sites. I don't plan on buying another computer until after I pay taxes.
Is there a way/a site I can use to do Skype cam shows without having to find my own clients?

Im interested to hear thoughts on IndieBills purchase of CMD.....as for me, I hope that Gerald works to improve the site and get it back to the way it was pre-shutdown, when it was my main, easiest, most earning site. I havent had a ton of experience with Gerald or Indiebill in general, but I've never really had a problem with them either, so I am just hopeful that this goes in the right direction. Any thoughts or opinions?

I wish we got Indiebill percentage aka 85%! hahaha! But if we get more traffic, I am fine with 75- 80% either.

Somehow, SM is bringing that traffic from somewhere, I guess CMD can do too... The 75% percentage is legit since it requires less maintenance of the site, than a live streaming one. Even tho, that doesn't absolve SM from the greed of taking 65% of the earnings. I think 50% is decent for a live streaming site.

You get 75% on Streamate. If you use another model's or affiliate's traffic on SM, then you get 35%. If you bring your own, you get the full amount.

I didnt use an affiliate link and ive been on SM for a couple years and i, and from what i hear everyone else, gets %35.....i have no idea where this %75 is coming from lol. Unless you are talking about bringing your own traffic in and having them sign up....which, for the huge percentage they take, THEY should be doing anyway.
KatyBoleyn
01-24-2018, 02:08 PM
That's the real cost of traffic, about 50% of what you make.
What goes on with most indy sites is either you're listed around everyone else, and in that case you're basically re-distributing the traffic that comes to see you to other models (and vice versa), essentially re-shuffling the deck but without any tracking for who gained and who lost. Paying clients don't just materialize out of thin air, they come from somewhere somehow.
The other option is that the clients you bring will remain in a vacuum. You get no cross-traffic gain or loss, and legit get 75%+ of what you bring.
For old school box sites, they carefully track who brought the traffic and make sure they're paid appropriately.

When they are taking that "huge percentage", that is exactly what they have done. They have signed up a client for you. When you take the huge percentage is when you signed up that client for you.

You promote your model link on social media eg. dahliasimone.cammodels.com. If someone signs up under your link you get the higher percentage. There are a lot of models here who do very well with this program. Here is the link to the Streamate FAQ http://streamatevip.com/help/cam-models

I get that. I was just confused by your wording because it sounded like we just get that off the top. I understand the increase when they sign up using your link, I was only saying for those of us who log on and put in the hours but dont bring in our own traffic, %35 is still a paltry amount of money considering the amount that even the mid-low ranked girls bring in.

I used to think the same as you about the percentage but now that I know more about what goes into marketing a site, the tech behind it and the money it takes to serve the thousands of viewers live streaming video and to promote competitively on the internet, I feel the percentage is logical.
The overhead is steep to run a site like Streamate especially since they try so hard to stream at higher resolutions. Also, with all the competition among the camsites, it's especially hard to capture the attention of horny men who have so much choice. That's why Streamate's whitelabel marketing strategy works. Instead of trying to brand one site, they have webmasters funneling traffic through hundreds of thousands of sites. CB does this to some extent as well. It costs shit tons of money to set up this kind of white label system. Each webmaster gets micropayments for each click...think about the programming behind those calculations.
As well, SM has invested money into CDN's all over the world. We're talking Amazon level stuff to get video streaming quality higher. Although many of us complain about the glitches, considering that they are streaming thousands of feeds 24/7 is kind of mind boggling and comparable to Twitch--owned by Amazon. That ain't cheap!

01-25-2018, 09:28 PM
Ahhh I don't know how to feel about this. Indiebill definitely seems like a respectable company, which is good, but CMD is already very good for me (I didn't personally see any permanent drop in traffic like some others have described.) I guess I'm just nervous about change when in my opinion it's already doing pretty well.
A small note though... I really wish cam sites would be more discreet about the names they use when they pay us. In our line of work proof of income can be tricky and I know I've had to show bank statements etc to various people. The name CMD was using isn't linked to anything adult until the third page of a Google search (for me at least), while the new one leads directly to Indiebill. I guess it doesn't matter that much for me, as I'm with Boleyn Models and the name they use leads to a website that looks vanilla at a glance (though maybe not if you really pay attention.) I don't see anything that's blatantly adult-related in a Google search, even 8 pages in. But it'd be nice to have the option to go back to non-daily pay without sacrificing my privacy.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I didn't use the specific names that they use so as to not make them even more searchable/worsen the privacy issue.

And If I rate it higher, then how much higher? How do you rate your clips for sale?
