"As a model on CamModelDirectory, you keep 75% of the first $500 of your earnings during the month, and 80% of your earnings over $500 during the month. You will be paid weekly (one week in arrears) via Paxum, ePayments, direct deposit or check. Under most circumstances, you will not be liable for any chargebacks that occur."
saw this on camModelDirectory
this sounds good and what I'm looking for, but since I used to make something like 25 cents on the dollar, the above sounds almost too good to be true.
Does anyone know anything about this site?
I would work interdependently and not with a studio.
From what I see it looks like a site that is used to direct to skype shows with you, where you can get paid by credit cards and not amazon cards which does sound good to me so far.
can anyone share person experiences?

Pretty sure there's an entire thread dedicated to CMD. But, yes, its a very popular and legit site. Many or most of us here are on it.

Its super easy to use, always pays out, communicative support, low maintenance, decent traffic (not as much as it used to have, but still plenty for it to be a large egg). Its def. worth trying out, at the least. Just my opinion.

So is there a thread that actually tells girls about the details around CMD, or is this entire thread just random conversation? I came here looking for info on the site to decide whether to use it or not, but can not go through the entire thread. I was hoping the first post would be informational. I'm searching the forum but when I search "cam model directory" I get nothing. Then I searched CMD and this seems to be the only thread that I had hope for. But looks like I'm going to their site for answers now :P
Not to sound like a Negative Nancy, but the site works like this:
You start as a new model and you get a ton of traffic and shows.
You do well your first couple of weeks as a new model.
As time goes on and your newness wears off, you get less and less real shows and more of time-wasters requesting you via Skype.

what I cant figure out is how do I get into the sections?
bbw
pornstar
milf
big boobs
tattoos
brunette
super booty
what part of the profile do add these tags to have myself show up?
Hey there once you have a profile on CMD, you make individual listings under each category. So you'd make 7 listings in each of those categories with different pictures and different text. Hope that helps.
its been 5 yrs since i cammed on CMD and i forgot but i did figure it out last minute. like damn, i knew that lol
Good grief. I had no idea about that so I'm glad you asked!
I only have 2 listings. I need to get in more categories!

Skype 8 Drama
Ok, so...
After the BS with MS & being FORCED onto SK 8 yesterday, I can't figure out how to copy the name of the person.
I found the area where the name is, but I can't copy it & don't have time to type it out manually. Grrr
Also, I don't see a way to remove the person from my list. It only gives me the option to delete conversation. I don't want to delete the conversation, just the person. If he contacts me again, I need to see the conversation.
Ok, I found it in the profile area. STUPID, but when I removed him, he's still showing up in my list.
I HATE MS!!!!
Thanks

They don t see when you delete them, they will keep typing and it appears in chats. They don t see if you block them, they can still type but then it won t show up in your chats. The way it s done, they don t notice anything at all, they think you still have them on your list but that you don t reply to them.

Yeh I had a feeling it was like that & that's NO GOOD for us.
Guys don't like it when I remove them & this entices them to want to see me more.
FUCKING MICROSOFT.

I thought Skype was a no go for indie camming now? I am wanting to sign up with this site but wasn't 100% sure if we could still use skype for shows or if everyone is just using discord instead?

CMD is pay in advance so you can then do the show on whatever platform you and the customer agree on. There is the option to add a Discord button on your profile.

SK 8 is driving me INSANE.
All of the guys I removed from my list are now back on my list.
I can't even find people based on their name & it looks like my list has shrunk. I know I had more people on there before.
And I've been dead since the SK switch & I don't know if that means people are trying to add me & I can't see it or what.
People on the MS community forum are freaking OUT & are LIVID. They are losing biz due to their issues. Of course can't go on there & say we are having camming issues LOL b/c that won't fly.
One guy said that his video window is too small when he tried to cam. Has anyone experienced that or anything I'm mentioning?
I'm hoping there's going to be a class action as this is NUTS!

I have heard that it used to be epically busier! However, it's all relative. It's a great site to have on in the background. I only work 15 to 25 hours a week but its definitely a solid egg. I make at least a band a month from it. If you are on the front page, you are averaging 3-8K a month consistently. I think that is great money :)

Do they provide some traffic here? I don't have a social media for sex work yet.

I get better traffic when I bid for Featured Spot, but it’s a heavy increase in timewasters, beggars, and negotiators. I don’t get quality traffic. At least not since I was a new model.

They provide some, but not a lot. I'd definitely recommend using some social media to advertise yourself.

I don't agree it's dead. I make a few hundred a month on it just from having it on with my other sites. Sign up and try it. You do need to be available a lot though.

I make like $1000 a month from CMD. It’s not my main site, but it’s certainly useful. You have to really build up a base and be on at the same times.

and how do you "be available", like on NF where you simply click the availability on or off? It doesn't involve any live camming does it?

Being available by keeping the CMD tab open in your browser and being on Skype for regs to see you as well.

Sorry I wasn’t more specific. I make about $1200-$1900/mo on this site :D Excellent site support too.

Dang ladies! :) For those of you who are pulling in $500+ would you say it's mostly CMD traffic or your own traffic from social media? I make around $100 - $200 a month on here relying only on CMD traffic, I send my own traffic from twitter to indiebill.

I don’t do social media so it’s solely CMD’s traffic for me.

I accidentally had it on today and someone contacted me but I wasnt made up haha.. Guess we will see what happens!

I have a guy asking for a show, he has those weird numbers on his skype id, and he says hes from Middle East. I never had a paying customer from there and he is paying like large amounts. I checked (edited) and of course is not there. I should not do the show right? I think he is a scammer.

I get the same vibe from that. Did you check the name he paid under? Look under your sales and if it’s a different name run that.
BiscuitT
02-22-2019, 07:22 PM
In my sales shows his skype id. I decided not to do it cause it is really weird, checked all my sales list and never had an actual client with those long ass numeric ids. Thanks for the advise n.n
Ginnyyy
02-23-2019, 09:45 AM
I had multiple guys with long numeric IDs. Their nicknames in the email are just so damn short, that Microsoft fills in the blanks with lots of numbers instead. One of my regs had constant issues remembering his numeric handle and just created another one, then he forgets it again. H e s not that tech savy but also definitely not a scammer.
I know a few Middle Eastern clients and they were just OK. If it s not marked as a black sheep, you know where, then it s good to pay. Just my 2cents.
BiscuitT
02-26-2019, 10:00 AM
Well, he paid for the show without cofirming, I still had a bad feeling about him so I didn't do it. He just said "ok some other time" and never saw him again, he didn't complain or ask for a refund, thats pretty weird too but who knows. Thank you for your advise, Ginny! <3
Ginnyyy
02-26-2019, 10:47 AM
I had a Middle Eastern recently ago who payed without confirming as well and he booked a long show, then approached me on SKype to ask about the payment. It starts with live:c then 2letters and maaaaany numbers afterwards maybe?

Does anyone realise they have enabled Skype recording in version 8? A friend had her entire show recorded and only found out at the end of the show when it came up in the chat asking if she would like to download the recording
LolaLu
02-27-2019, 12:42 PM
My regulars from here are amazing, I rely on them rather than a constant flow of new guys. I think CMD is more of a long-term game where you gain contacts and get shows with them regularly.
The traffic is definitely not what it used to be, but since it's just a listing site, I log into it every time that I work. It's been totally worth it for me.
Totally this!

Yes, but from the first second of the recording, there is a constant message on the upper bar, above his name saying that X is recording the call. I tested all the options on Skype 8 as soon as I upgraded and seen it. There is no way not to see that line alerting you there is an active rec.

It's all site generated traffic. My social media is strictly for MFC viewers or clients who have already bought Skype shows. The key is to literally be available for 12-15 hours to really gain regulars.
