I don't add them until they buy a show. If they can contact you to add them, they can buy a show at the same time. I used to add them and then I had a ton of useless contacts.



Woah ok I'm bombarded with so many skype request and messages...so do u add them? I told them I would add them only after I have payment for a show.. And some guys were like " well can you add me so I can see wen ur online for a show" so let's say I do add them can I separate them in dif groups on skype sort off thing so I can keep track of the show guys and potential guys with no shows

@Layla Idk if this is necessarily the best way to do it, but I add everyone who sends me a request and block them as needed. I think a lot of ladies do what you're saying though (adding them after you receive payment) since it helps to weed out the freeloaders. In my experience, there are plenty of guys who add me and then buy shows days/weeks/months later so I accept every request just in case. You never know who's suddenly going to buy a show!

I've been meaning to organize my contacts better, and it looks like using lists is the way to go. Here's some info on how to do that. (https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA421/how-do-i-organize-my-contacts-in-skype-for-windows-desktop?q=organize+contacts#OrganizeCategories)

You can put guys who've gotten a show under "Favorites". I did that for the first month or so then my favorites filled up haha so now I just go through my contacts every couple months and delete guys who've been there a while without getting a show.

I can usually remember guys who've gotten a show with me but if in doubt you can always just look at your conversation history and see if you've ever called them.

At first I didn't add anybody to my contacts until they had paid for a show. You can set your Skype setting so that non-contacts aren't able to call you, and I felt that was really important.

About a month ago, I realized that I was doing a lot of work because potential custies couldn't see my status. I'd get a bunch of contact requests when I was offline, and then I'd reply when I was online and ready to work. By that point a lot of the guys were offline. Then later after I was done for the day, they'd message back, not knowing whether I was still online or not. With most of them I'd play tag several times before we'd actually catch up. The rude ones would send a bunch of messages like "Hey!... Hello?... Are you there?... Where are you?... Oh well. I really wanted a show right now." >:(

For the past month I've been accepting all the contact requests, and I've been getting a lot less pestering when I'm offline. That means fewer messages to respond to when I start work. Despite my fears about guys randomly calling before they've paid, that's only happened three times so far. I rejected the calls immediately and sent them a preset message about how I only accept calls from clients with a pre-paid booking (I didn't want to ban right away in case they hit the call button by mistake). In two cases, the person tried to call again, so I rejected it and banned them. One guy apparently got the message and didn't call back.

I keep my paying custies in one list, and potentials in another list. I plan to clean out the potentials list pretty often to remove any contacts that have been there a while without having a show. For now, I'm giving them 30 days because I'm pretty inconsistent with my schedule, so it can be tough to catch me sometimes. When I get better about that and am working more, I'll remove non-spenders a lot faster.

Hmm... Maybe I shouldn't be too hasty with my list cleaning. I suppose some guys add you to Skype like they add you as a favorite on SM - they just want to remember you for later.

Yup, that's exactly what I've been thinking. One of my current regs didn't say a word to me until a month after he added me. You just never know!

LaylaLovely
11-28-2014, 08:19 PM
Yes I was thinking this exactly they might not want the show right then, but want to add you for later..thnk u all!!!! Some guys want a show for the next day at a certain time should I tell them to pay now to reserve there spot ? I don't want to plan my day around a " possible show that hasn't even been paid for but scheduled" then not hear from them.. If I was single I probably wouldn't care but I have very little time to cam do to bieng a mom, I don't want to set everything up then waste my time wen he doesn't come through or end up bs'ing me.

scarlettbelle
11-28-2014, 08:31 PM
I would definitely have them pay ahead of time if they want to reserve a certain time slot. I usually won't even do that though, since I'm never sure when I'll actually be available and I hate feeling like I *have* to be on at a certain time. I usually just give them my schedule and tell them to message me then to set something up. That's just me though, so if you like pre-booking shows then more power to ya! :D

If a guy wants a show outside of my normal schedule I have him put down $10 as a deposit. That motivates both of us to show up. Then at the time of the show he pays the normal cost of the show minus $10.

I've still had one or two guys stand me up but I don't mind too much as I always end up making money from other guys who aren't on during my normal hours. If they don't show up within ~20 minutes of their appointment I shoot them a message saying I'll apply their deposit toward a show the next time they see me on and tell them my schedule.

anoncamgirl
11-29-2014, 01:45 AM
I hate when guys are late because I've sat there missing out on shows due to this. I ask for their email in advance, and if they are more than 10 minutes late I give them a pre-made video (or two) in the stead of their session. I am a little more lenient if they have a valid excuse, tell me in advance to re-schedule, or are less than 15 minutes late. :) No one seems to mind, it works out for everyone!

Has anyone ever had a guy with name C____ G____ (I don't want to put his screen name out here). He's a good looking guy in his 30's. He says baby a lot and likes to use the term "exquisite" if you've had him that should ring a bell. I like to play detective a bit haha and just want to see if he's completely full of shit with some of the things he's been saying.

LaylaLovely
12-10-2014, 05:18 PM
Okay so I had a guy pay ahead for a show for that night, when it got closer to the time he wanted to start earlier than the time. , but I couldn't so an hour later on the agreed time I called him and no answer and went offline, I have messaged him and let him know I could refund him or reschedule him but he still hasn't got back to me, how long should I wait to refund him ???? I kind off just feel like refunding him ... This whole paying ahead of time for a future show is stressful

Procrasturbator
12-10-2014, 05:59 PM
I wouldn't have even offered to refund him. I would have messaged him to let him know that I was there, stayed online for at least 15 minutes or so, then shot him a message saying that I'd love to do his show next time he sees me online and that I usually work (insert schedule here.)

CMD has been my main site for the better part of a year now and I've never refunded a customer. Obviously you can't take that back now but unless something goes VERY wrong refunds aren't really a thing on CMD (in my experience.) If you messaged him and he hasn't gotten back to you that's his problem, I wouldn't bother with it anymore. If he contacts you when you're online and taking shows I'd do his show (check that it's still in your earnings first) but until that happens you've met any obligations you have to him.

LaylaLovely
12-10-2014, 07:57 PM
Ugh I will never again have them pay before

Camming is freedom
No obligations
This was so stressfull the whole time
I already asked mark to refund him

I felt like he could come anytime and be like

Hi ladies,

I have read this entire thread and have seen the question asked a few times, but never saw an answer... Does anyone know if you have to be an established or verified/well-known cam girl to get approved on cmd? Thanks so much in advance for an answer. :)

sexysusie
12-10-2014, 10:23 PM
Mark verifies all the girls. You don't have to be well known or very established but obviously if he's going to get you all set up with the payment processor and a profile etc he'd rather you stuck around and actively used the service.

When I joined the site Mark said he was going to be trying different advertising approaches. Maybe he slowed down? My first couple months on the site were awesome... now not at all. I'm also really annoyed by all the people on my skype and don't even want to log on because I get bombarded to "chat"

That's about how long ago I have actually written a ad for myself. I used to love it there when I got shows. I occasionally sign on to messenger but that is about much as effort I put into it. I seriously need to at least write another ad again. Hopefully it will pick up for everybody again....

I wanted to encourage you girls to raise your rates up, it's so hard to get these indy guys to pay more than 2 bucks.. I was charging 3 bucks and now I started charging 4 bucks and I am getting the same amount of shows and a few extra bucks to boot! if more girls started charging at least 3 per min .. it would work

sexysusie
12-12-2014, 04:33 PM
I charge 3.99 and have no problem getting shows (when I can be arsed to turn on Skype and deal with the freeloaders first that is). There's really no need to undersell as the guys are quite willing to pay!

12-12-2014, 06:49 PM
I actually didn't know until recently that you can talk to guys without accepting their requests, yay. So what I've been doing is saying 'hi babe are you wanting to book a cam show?' As soon as their Skype request pops up. If they say yes I ask how long, remind them of the price, and link them back to my cmd page for payment. If they don't respond or sound like they're going to mess me about I just delete their request and the conversation :)

kortneykay
12-12-2014, 11:15 PM
^^That's what I've always done. For a little while I tried adding them first and playing their games but I ended up crowding my list with time wasters and guys who think it's cute to call me on skype as if by some chance I'll actually turn on my cam for free.

The last time I tried to chat with someone on Skype without adding him, he didn't respond. I searched & found a section on the Skype forum that says that you can't talk to someone on Skype without adding them as a contact. Good to know that's not true.

The only thing I'm not okay with and this can probably be removed via code but I don't like the "share" at the top of the profiles from the customer's side. I don't think it's a good idea for customers to share us anywhere especially fb, google+ and twitter without our permission.

This is a very important email so please take the time to read it all the way through. The all new CamModelDirectory is finally ready for production. There are some tasks you will need to complete in order to have your profile and ads show on the new site. These will be explained below. First, I would like to point out some of the new features of the site:
You no longer need to create ads daily. You will only need to create one ad per category you want to be listed in. Each ad should be unique and tailored to the particular category you place the ad in. Ads will be published immediately.
We will no longer will accept photos that show exposed genitals or anus. You may still show bare breasts as well as toys such as dongs and dildos.
We will no longer allow linking to any other webcam sites such as Streamate, MFC, Niteflirt, etc. You may still link to your personal website if you have one.
Your online status is no longer dependent on Yahoo Instant Messenger. To update your online status simply login to the site and you will immediately show as online. Similarly, when you logout you will immediately show as offline.
Model profiles will be listed on the site according to online status and sales for the previous seven days. For example, the model who is online and has the most sales for the previous seven days will be in the number one position. The number two position will go to the model who is online with the second most sales for the previous seven days (and so forth). Offline models will be shown in the same order, but after all online models are displayed.
We will no longer be selling Secure Placements, VIPs and Daily Bumps. The only premium service that will be sold at this time will be the Featured Model. Featured models will show up before all other models in categories and searches. They will also be listed in the slider on the home page and will have a ribbon on their profiles and ads.
We will now allow visitors to join the site and become CMD members. Members will have a few benefits such as expedited purchasing, a history of purchases, the ability to leave reviews, and the ability to read other member reviews. Non-members will not be able to read or create reviews.
We have made some improvements to the model dashboard that will make it easier to understand and track your payouts.
Now that you know what to expect from the new CMD, it's time to start using it! The first thing you need to do is update your profile and create your ads. To do this go to https://www2.cammodeldirectory.com/information/model-application/ and enter your username and password. It should be the same as your current one, but if you have trouble logging in, just use the "Lost Password" link to reset it. You will be sent an email with a new password.
Later this week I will put a banner on CMD notifying visitors of the new site. For the next week visitors will be able to purchase shows on either site, so you will need to check both to verify sales. If all goes well this week, then next week all traffic will be directed to the new site and the old one will be retired. You will still be able to access the old site in case you need to see your past payout information, but I will send you the URL for it once the old site is retired.
If you have any problems please let me know immediately. You can email me at [email protected] or contact me on Skype.
