In my opinion TTM is one of the best out of bad bunch because I've looked & I'm struggling to find other US sites that are any better.
It just depends on the amount of work you are prepared to do. Each platform is different in how to get calls. On TTM you don't have to do much to get at least a certain amount of calls, but the % is pathetic. Other sites you do more, but can make more. So which site(s) is/are best, just depends on the PSO and what model works for them. No right answer, but I look at my earnings over an entire year on a site before I compare. Some platforms are slower to get established on, but long term can turn out very well. Each PSO will be different on which platform(s) end up being best.

Yes, you've got the right way of looking at it really. I've still not had a call on NF but I'm not giving up on it. I've read others saying that it took them months to take off on there & now they love it.
I've started off with a vanilla listing & I get the feeling NF might be more Fetish/Dom orientated really so I'll do a Femdom profile next.

For me this last week TTM has been better than NF. I've been on Niteflirt for just over a week & have not made one single measly cent! And I've spent hours this week messing around putting a profile together and whilst I was pre-occupied doing that I went & missed calls on my other sites. NF has cost me money! I'm not giving up yet though, next weekend I'll pay to bid and work some more on my profile & listings but I'm not confidant right not its going be any better than TTM.
The percentage is crap on TTM but its still better than the likes of Streamate & at least I get some calls. I got my first call on TTM on my second shift on there- it didn't take over a week!
In my opinion TTM is one of the best out of bad bunch because I've looked & I'm struggling to find other US sites that are any better.
NF takes time to build up regulars but its worth it. I make a lot of money on NF and I dont bid, never have. I use social media to promote it.

Ugh, I wanted to do this PSO stuff but I'm not sure I can do it, I'm desperate for money ATM so I'm going to try TTM.. I have an account I made a long time ago and never took calls on. I'm not even counting on getting calls from my actual listing but from the promotional programs at the moment. If I get a call from my listing I'll be surprised.

The Vchat line pays my rent. I love being able to sit and watch Netflix all night then pause my show when i get a connection . Granted i cam on SM and CB as well as have a few NF profiles so i have lots of play money and my bills are handled but the bulk of my money for rent comes from the Vchat line.
That's nice and encouraging to hear.

Thanks Jane that's encouraging - I'm going to work on creating more listings at some point this week & see how it goes. I just find it unusual that as a new talker on there I've not even had one call so far & the only fave I've got is one of my own customers from another site who's far too taboo to be able to call on NF anyway :)

ATTENTION VCHAT / PARTY ROOM CHANGES LIVE
If you go to the programs page, you now have the option to create a party room
You also have the option to select a profile to go into vchat
a party room allows you to go into vchat and create a greeting, but it allows up to 5 callers to join your "room" at a time. You get paid .10/min for each caller in your room. There is currently no limit to the earnings for party rooms. and this is in addition to your 150 paid minutes for vchat connections
It will also play your "TalkToMe.com profile number XXXXX" while in vchat and party room, so select a profile that you want played during your vchat and party room connections. you CAN select a DISABLED profile, if you don't want your real phone sex profiles playing during vchat and you do a different amatuer vchat girl
vchat is .99 on the 800TTM number, but is .69 on most numbers that offer it. and will be .69 on thew 800TTM flow that will be live soon (once I can test it again and it works right. so if you have a .69 profile, even if it's disabled, you can use that one. If you need a profile re-priced at .69, just email CS and tell them Robyn said you can change profile number xxxxx to .69 for vchat and they will email me to change it.
EVENTUALLY, all vchat and party room profiles will be copied over to hotchat.com and it will be chat line website, and will show profiles of all of the "free ladies" on the chat line. it won't be able to be called directly like the phone sex profiles, but it will play the chat line greetings and have the website traffic call the 800hotchat vchat line to connect to the chat line and connect to the "free ladies" so you want to be thoughtful of the profiles you are selecting from now on and going forward to use for vchat and party rooms and what pricing you are using
any questions, you can ask here, and i'll try to keep up, or email CS and i'll try to keep up with CS also. They know to refer questions to me and get their answers about this directly from me, so you might get faster answers there also

Your profile might not be noticed if you are just offering sexting right now. But, if you offer phone, your profile moves much farther up. It looks like you need to get some exposure on the site first. Great ratings also gives you a lot more exposure. Once you get that, you can just sext sometimes. If you are uncomfortable talking, try the VChat line for a little while until you feel more comfortable. You pick and choose who you want to talk to and can hang up if you don't like the call. Plus, no one can give a bad rating if they did not like the call.

Same. With where I am right now phone work is super supplemental to my vanilla jobs and keeping a schedule to build regulars is impossible. I just don't have to time to devote fir something that's not my main source of income. That said, I do still have utilities, student loans, and insurance to pay and so far, as unpopular as it can be, the vchat helps me make that. I tried Niteflirt but found I had no time to promote/build my base, and USLove I like but sometimes I go for hours without a call. At least with the vchat I can usually manage a quick call or two and hang up if I need to go/despise the guy/The Walking Dead is starting.

Question for those of you who send MMS through your cell for text. How the heck does this new #setprice 99595 <amount> work? HAHA. I don't know why they made it more complicated as it was easy to send pics before.
Every time I try and send a pic, and I hit #SETPRICE 59595<$1.00> And other variations (spaces, no spaces, lower case, no lowercase, no dollar sign, dollar sign) the client sees the number, and the system asks me to enter a valid price, lol. Can someone post what works for them? Thanks!

This might be a good way to kill time inbetween calls. Email from TTM
Act now and take advantage of this special offer before it's gone!
We've listened to our Talkers and are pleased to deliver unlimited VCHAT now through the end of 2016! That means anytime you log-on between now and Dec 31, 2016- You can enjoy unlimited VCHAT sessions.
Earning potential is also unlimited. This is our way of saying 'Thank you' to the Talkers who have made our Vchat rooms such an exciting and vibrant part of our site.
Talkers earn .20/min for each minute you connected 1-on-1 with a caller in Vchat. The longer you stay in Vchat- the more you will earn! If you've never used Vchat before this is a great opportunity to learn a new facet of our site that will expose your profile to more callers and can expand your client base. If you are already familiar with Vchat- This is great time to take advantage of unlimited access so you can earn more and reach many new customers!

Maybe not. It's happened to me before. Although, I emailed TTM last week about getting permission to have more than 3 active profiles.
I was told that I could have 4, but they would be the only 4 I would be ever able to use, indefinitely. I didn't like the idea of just having 4 right away, but I'm thinking about it.
I usually play myself and 3 top earning characters but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with not being able to make any more characters or even the freedom of swapping them out if necessary. I suppose 4 is better than 3 at a time.

VChat is phone right?
And they think that 5 guys are going to want to be on the phone together at the same time while being entertained by only one girl?

It's like a live circle jerk or like 'group cam' except they're paying pennies if it's what I think it is. Long ago I would call the group lines and it was like a gang bang. Most of these guys are probably going to listen in and moan and jerk off while the pso moans and takes on 1-3 guys, lol.
All in all I don't think $0.50 per min is worth it because there's no guarantee how long they're going to stay in. You might talk to one guy for 15 min at $0.10 per min and one or two pop in at a time and not all at once.

I need some clarity on this please.... In the policies for for TalkToMe it states that we are not employees OR independent contractors. I know that we are not employees but I did think we were independent contractors. They also offer vchat and this new party chat, which is more like dispatch work and you get an determined company amount per minute so the line blurs even more. They do send out 1099. I emailed support and they said that we are independent business owners NOT independent contractors. I am not quite sure what I am supposed to put down on my taxes for this. In my state I might even need to get a business license. I never heard of anyone getting a business license for TTM. Any help would be great. Just a little confused.

I have no idea if this helps you since I am in Canada but my accountant told me to put down that I was self-employed. You don't need a business license to be self-employed in Canada. I am afraid I have no idea for your country though.

i think ur thinking about it too much it doesnt matter what they classify you as.
What is a 1099 employee?
The “1099” part of the name refers to the fact that independent contractors receive a form 1099 at the end of the year, which reports to the IRS how much money was paid to the contractor. In contrast, employees receive a W-2. Service providers are either employees or independent contractors; they cannot be both.
By that standard anyone who gets a 1099 is an independent contractor TTM isnt going to know what you put down on the paperwork nor does the IRS care what u classify urself and what TTM classifies the talkers at . All the IRS cares about is if the money is tracked and paid for properly or not.

You are only talking about the 1099-Misc which is issued to independent contractors. Employees get a W-2. There are MANY types of 1099's, one of which is the 1099-K. Niteflirt and ebay issue a 1099-K to people making at least $20,000 a year. (There are other requirements.) Those people are neither employees nor independent contractors. So, no... it is NOT true that anyone issued a 1099 is either an employee or an independent contractor.
You are NOT an employee or independent contractor if you work for TalkToMe. You are a self-employed business owner. They mistakenly send out 1099-misc when they should be sending out a 1099-K. I'm not sure how they're getting around it but I have a feeling soon they will be told that is what they should be sending out.
And, the IRS DOES care how you classify yourself. If you fill out your taxes wrong, they will FIX THEM for you and you will more than likely end up owing more in taxes (plus penalties and interest). They're certainly not going to fix them in your favor.
If you have NO IDEA what any of this means, or no idea how to proceed with your taxes, then you need to seek out the help of a tax professional to explain it all to you. I had no idea when I started in this business 17 years ago so I had a tax pro help me out the first couple of years.

Yes, I agree as well. I will be going to a tax pro soon. I have always worked as an independent contractor in the adult business, but being a self employed business owner is new to me. These two things are different and if you don't fill things out properly, you can be paying the IRS more money. I don't want to take that chance! I wanted to get some of your input before I go to my tax pro. Thankyou ladies for the information.

Has anyone noticed the number of connection requests they receive go down on V Chat within the last month? I used to get a pretty good amount when I started about 2 months ago then I had to basically stop because it starting getting pretty dead for me. I've also noticed a lot more guys hanging up on me pretty quickly. I would usually wait a few mins then they'd come at once basically. I didn't stay on if I hadn't had any requests after 10 minutes. How long do you guys usually wait unti you get a connection request? If you don't mind me asking.

One of the reasons it may be dead for you is because TTM announced a week or two ago that there is now no limit on the number of hours a girl can spend on the chatline for the rest of the year. The limit used to be 2 1/2 hours a day. So it's very possible the chatline is now saturated with girls trying to make some extra money.

i noticed this a few weeks back maybe about a month or so ago so i dont think it has anything to do with the unlimited v chat line (altho it doesnt help the situation) but i agree i havent been working on it as much because of that .

If u get a call on skyprivate and ttm plugin is on, you wont be able to take the call, the plugin wont let you. U need to disconnect ttm's plugin for then to be able to take a call coming from skyprivate. Both plugins get weird together, so what i do is: I have one plugin open on one lap and then the other on the other lap, both under the same skype id.

That is how I started. I read that if you are active on the site you get to the front. So the more active you are then you will be pushed ahead. I found that when I worked and took calls from v chat I got put to the front more.
