Also I notice people on here refer to VChat, is that from the optional programs tab on TTM and the same as Direct Connect? - as I can't seem to find anything with that title. There is Talk Chat Line, Direct Connect and Chat Rooms but no VChat? :O

It shows as TC 0.40
It is next to your mail symbol, dollar amount made, main menu on the top bar.
Hit TC 0.40 then you will go to another screen.
Top part will say Talk-Chat Lines. After a few sentences you will see the word CONNECT. Hit that and your phone will ring. At that point you will make a voice greeting and then hear the callers on the talk line.

Thank you JaceyLynn and Lizzyme. I've been reading up on it since I posted and reading some of the posts here too, someone said it pays their 'rent' but I can't for the life of me see how as the pay is a pittance, unless they mean they have been successful into turning those guys into paying customers (from her proper/paid profile). Though I get the impression that might be very difficult.
I also get the impression the earnings with this type of chat would be pennies more than pounds! (cents not dollars).
Am not sure whether to give it a go, there seems a bunch of mixed reviews on here. I can imagine it might be quite tiresome and I wouldn't like to waste my energy on touting for business on 'energy suckers' who might drain me and then I'd log out not wanting to take 'proper' calls, or perhaps I'm looking at it in the wrong light.

I think that VChat is a hard way to make money because of the low payout of .20 cents a minute. Just like Snowy said, this is something you can do on your down time. I have done this while I am doing chores around my house or if I am sick and do not feel like going on cam or work my phone profiles on the sites. The good thing about VCHat is you do not get rated and you can hang up any time if you do not like the guy. It is also good for newbies to gain experience without any kind of pressure. I do NOT think Vchat it is a great method to use to get them over to using your more expensive phone profiles. Most of the guys do not want to convert from the .69 cents they are paying to go to your more expensive profiles. They also like to think that they are talking to a girl who wants to be naughty for fun and not actually be paid for it. They do not realize that you work for TTM unless you actually tell them that you do.

I agree. I never use the line to tell them about my paid lines. I do this line to get to the payout sometimes. Also it seems like when ever I have a call on the other lines I only get them when I am busy with something else. It helps me not think "OMG the phone is not ringing" That being said I do other marketing and I do mostly chat on there. It is really nice when you are doing well anything else that makes it so you can't talk on the phone. I made $100 the other day on chat. It was a lot of chat but I was having my house painted so we could sell it and I did not want to be taking calls. SO.. I sent e-mails to the guys and teased them about how I was teasing the guys who were painting. I had several ( I think 5 conversations) going it kind of felt like a day off for me.

There are customers out there who read these forums because they show up as public. A lot of men in vchat have also said things like if you are not getting paid then let me call you private. These men have actual message boards about this. I wish there a way to talk about this more securely. All it takes is a google search and you can see everything we write. ANYWAY, with that being said I wish it paid more...but it's cool for downtime.

Another thing I meant to ask. Do English/British Ladies refer to this (their Nationality) in their title? Or at least in the text?
Reason I enquire is.. am assuming the majority of callers are from the US and may be expecting/requiring 'home grown' ladies, i.e., US patrons like themselves! Or does it not matter? Its just I imagine if your nationality is not mentioned in the text anywhere (& you've not recorded a greeting, and even if you have you can't assume they will always listen to it), you might get a lot of callers hanging up, because I notice on the site there is only the option to List your Location if you are in a US state, so its prob best to leave that blank but surely if your an International Talker, like British/English it kinda pre-warns them what sort of accent to expect!
Also are most of the callers from the US? And if so, is there a good time (as such) for UK based ladies to log in?
Everyone I've had on TTM has been American. On Adultwork, since most of the men are British, I put that I'm American (I'm American but live in the UK) in my tagline because it's sort of a unique selling point. A lot of guys call me especially because of my accent. If I had a British accent, I would be tempted to put it in my tagline on TTM for that reason. I think a lot of guys find a British accent sexy. Totally up to you, obviously. I don't bother at all with Vchat. Since we're in the UK, it wouldn't be a good idea to tie up your line with $.20 calls (you're getting less than 15p/min before Paxum fees, etc), especially if you work several platforms like AW and NF simultaneously. TTM isn't a huge earner for me, and is by no means paying my rent, but every bit helps.

Thanks Blue-Velvet. I hear what you say, only I wasn't thinking of the accent in a USP way I was thinking gosh perhaps I better refer to it because if I don't and they are expecting one their 'own' they might get peed off!
But of course as you say it can work in the reverse way, where they might fancy listening to a British accent (think we have the tv prog Cheers to thank for that! lol) ---- anywayz.... re the minimalist Vchat fee, thats what I was thinking as in... by the time you pay the $2 dollar fee (I think it is) to TTM AND then the Paxum fees, i.e., currency conversion and withdrawal fee, there'd be owt left! (as they say Ooop norf!).
Thanks for clarifying that (from the UK side of the pond), I think I will give it a wide berth - (as I don't need the PSO experience either). Cheers!

I mention my nationality in my description. I get mainly US & Canada guys but I do sometimes get the odd British & I've had a Dutch caller too.
I haven't done a pre-recorded voice sample but I'm going to do one just one of my profiles.
Most of the guys tell me they love my accent & I think it takes them by surprise sometimes because I have a Manchester accent but I do get the odd one who just ends the call as soon I speak. I think they sometimes expect us UK Ladies to sound like the Queen or something but overall yes they seem to like the Northern accent :D

How does the 'Featuring' system work on this site? There is no bidding system so how does it work? Some 'featured' PSO's have as little as 2 reviews so it can'be be based on how many reviews/feedback they receive. How do you get on the Home page? (even if your not featured.. but say showing as Available.. as I notice there is different search criteria such as Features, Available Now, Last Online, Newest, Top Rated, etc etc). When I'm logged in as Available I can't find myself anywhere on the site! so I'll hardly come to anyone's notice, i.e., get any calls!
Also when I logged on I notice in my 'contacts online' it showed I had 1 contact online.. I clicked on it, viewed his blurb etc.... but yet he has never written or interacted with me in any way... is this the equivalent of him adding me as a 'favourite'? - although I thought from what I've read if one gets a favourite it shows with a red heart next to it. This hasn't got that, it just shows like I described above.
Its quite confusing... would really appreciate if someone could explain as I can't find anything about either of those things in the 'Help' section on the site.

CanThe Can - I'm sure that I read somewhere on TTM site that you could email them with a picture that has your profile ID on it & they'll feature that picture on the front page.
It doesnt mention it though in the article I've linked to here.
https://www.talktome.com/news/how-do-i-get-my-profile-featuredon-the-front-page/
You get like a new talker status when you first join the site so its worth logging on as much as you can to take advantage of that & once you get your first rating that should bump up your placement x

Hi Kristen
Thank you, your super helpful. Actually I had read that page and like you say it didn't specifically answer my query, so in the end I wrote to them directly.
Here is their response:
The front page sort has an extensive algorithm that pulls in a lot of things to determine the sort order, and it is updated hourly.
If you want the best chance of making it on the front page, you should make sure you have positive reviews, have multiple pictures, and make sure you available often and for multiple communication methods, ie, phone, SMS, chat, webcam, Skype.
I didn't know this:
"I'm sure that I read somewhere on TTM site that you could email them with a picture that has your profile ID on it & they'll feature that picture on the front page."
Tho I assume you don't mean the ID we actually used to sign up, I look a fright in mine lol x
p.s. Is it just me or does it not look super busy on there? reason I say this is.... you can view whose 'available' but hardly any status's show as 'busy' (i.e, when they are actually engaged in a call. I noticed a few yesterday but none today). Seems like a fairly quiet site in that case. Am still trying to fathom it out.
Also for example I had 2 guys in my contact list (who were online) but I've never connected with them in any way, shape or form. Does that mean they have added me to their 'favourite' list or something?

I answered you on the other thread ;)
That feature doesnt have to be enabled. When you go here https://www.talktome.com/members/programs/ (or you can hit the T.C.40 button at the top middle of the page) you will see the descriptions of programs available and the first one listed is the chat line, just hit the connect button and they will call you and connect you to the chatline.

Posted on another forum from a TTM rep.
mass messaging your contacts will be coming soon. It's in final testing. It will be a free message to your contacts that you select, and you can only send one a day. but it will be a lot better for the girls who like to email their callers the same message.
The issue with the display bug when changing your availability (where you had to refresh the page 2 times sometimes to see the current availability icons), has been fixed. If you still see any issues with it, please email
[email protected] and let me know please. It should always be correct now, and if it's not fixed, I'd like to know ASAP.
We are reading all of the responses to the vchat survey, we have over 500 text responses that we need to go over. We will see what the common complaints are and see what we need to fix to make it better for you guys
We are also looking at the number of male callers vs female callers on the vchat line at hourly intervals. We are toying with the idea of basing the pay for vchat on the need of ladies on the line. Not sure how it will be done yet, just an initial idea, so once i get more details on how we will handle, I will let you know.

Hi CanTheCan
No at one time I'm sure you could just send any picture of yourself to an email address that they supplied & you put on your profile account no - You find it at the very bottom of the drop down box when you click main menu.
I find TTM unpredictable really sometimes it can be quite busy & other its quite but its well worth doing as a bit extra. I only really work on AW & TTM so I can't compare it to other phone chat sites but I would guess that if you wanted to make a decent living from say just phone chat then you'd need to have a good handful of these sites on the go.
I like the site & you can get some good regulars & they're more likely to tip you too the US guys I find.
The guys in your contact have probably seen your profile & liked it & then saved you as a favourite. I too have a few in mine that have never ever called but they might buy pictures from the gallery instead.
So yes for me its a site that pays a few bills each month & its worthwhile being logged onto it at the same time I'm logged on to AW for phone, the tend to work well together.
Usually AW is busier but sometimes I've been busier on TTM.

My sister and I both moved to TTM in February and it's been paying off. The best part is customer service is genuine and can call you directly if you need them to.
its nice to know I can log in and make money everyday I just have to put my mind to it and show up! The more consistent you are the more customers log on everyday to talk and text with you. The rate per min is less but I end up making more than nf when in combination with texting.
if someone takes your profile or pic, TTM will allow the first person to retain the rights and have the second person change it. iMO, it's the small things that make a difference and this meant a lot to me.
Btw after NF went down last week many regs found me on TTM and have been calling me there instead now. I think they like the whole text and chat option.
overall a a very good egg with very good CS.

You could email them a photo of yourself but you had to put the relevant profile id on the picture so they could link it to the right profile.
I don't think they offer that extra advertising anymore. I'm sure I first read about it on the " How to get on the front page" link I added on this thread a few days ago but it doesn't mention anything about it now.

;D

Am pleased to say yes I had my 1st caller last night so no longer a TTM virgin lol - also had another guy email me as if he was going to call but he didn't. I did charge him a nominal fee for the luxury of reading my email though! ha ha
Also sorry to keep throwing out a ton of questions, but if someone emails you from TTM do you get an email notification? Reason I ask is I only noticed by chance that there was an email (2 actually) sitting my Inbox, it is quite discrete and easy to miss (IMO) right at the top, would have been better to get an email notification alert like I do with all the other sites, when there is any sort of activity on my account.
Was the same when I joined, I thought when the profile you upload is approved I would get an email along the lines of 'your profile has been approved/activated and is now ready to use on the site' but I didn't. I kept logging in and it showed as Pending, in the end I thought I probably don't need to log in as I will probably get a notification telling its been approved. I never got any notification and by chance logged in and seen it was approved. Point being, if I'd known/been alerted via an email (it had been activated) I would have logged in earlier.
Anyway.. re the email on the site, are we suppose to get an external email alert that a (potential) Caller has sent us an email via the site? Or do we just have to rely on being vigilant/keep our peepers peeled?! (as maybe it was just a glitch my end that I didn't receive a notification).
The 2 emails had been sitting there nearly half an hour by the time I noticed them you see. I think that is why the guy didn't ring me perhaps as I didn't respond to his email straightaway but I did not notice it till some time later.:-\

Actually just checked and that box is ticked, howeverrrrr..... I have also ticked the SMS option soooo.... if I don't get an email notification, hopefully I will get a text notification.
Perhaps however it was just a glitch. Tnxxx again x
