Only my signups from June 2014 appear as affiliate referrals in my contacts section.
For some reason, none after that date appear.
I have sign-ups through November of 2014. They must have stopped showing them on our contacts page so we couldn’t market to them and get more conversions.
Did you get your payment on Wednesday? I did not and today I called and left a message.

I haven't received mine yet with Paxum. Usually, it comes straight through on a Wednesday, but there was one time it didn't arrive until Friday.

I've not been paid through Paxum yet either. I've emailed TTM today to let them know. Must be a payment glitch if it's affected a few of us.

I wonder if there's a public holiday or something which has effected Paxum? I'm getting the feeling this is an issue with Paxum and not TTM. I've never had a payment this late before.

*Update on payments with Paxum
Support has contacted their Accounts Department to investigate. They said it could take several days but, they've said that before and it only took a day or so.

Yes. Thanks baby for your replies. I was worried. Did you know Paxum has a Romanian owner and they also have a bank called Paxum bank where we can open virtual accounts?

Paxum Bank Limited is registered in The Commonwealth of Dominica & that's I was wondering they might've had a public holiday or something. I'm sure that Paxum E-Wallet services is based in Canada. I thought E-Wallets were virtual accounts?

You mean Octav? I read they re offering SEPA(Europe) and DD(US) accounts and I already have bank accounts at physical banks, where is safe to keep my money on. I was looking into Paxum for direct deposits but what would be the purpose of having yet one account with them, cause if the company falls, it falls with all the accounts so one account where I get my payments from the sites who use Paxum is more than enough.
I saw a webcam site offering accounts at another virtual bank as an option, don t remember the name of the bank, I have their message in my account.
Also, it s not the first time when the TTM payments don t come through Paxum on Wednesday, but they always arrived on maximum Friday whenever there were delays, so I didn t bother to see what s happening, it has happened before and the first time I lost time contacting both TTM and Paxum, both of them were passing the blame on the other. Eventually, everything gets fixed and all is well pfiuuu.

They changed the set up of the webchat messages and now we get paid per minute. You can pick the rates yourself for this type of instant messaging over pc. What I wanna say is to make sure you also set the rates, 'cause many girls have webchat on but it's unusable as they didn't think to set up a rate as well. The support did not mention that either, just that now is per minute.

Is anyone else having a issue with the profile whisper feature? It only works for me 1/2 the time at best so unless I'm near my computer I do not know which character I'm supposed to be. I tried re-recording them and they are saved but just don't seem to work on any regular basis.
Ginnyyy
11-29-2018, 02:14 PM
All the girls I know have the same issue, including I. I don't hear it as well since a while ago. I only hear: "This is TTM dot.com. Your profile, to accept this call press 1" etc.

Okay so like i been using the site for a year now and i noticed that when i changed my prices to 1.99,months ago, i keep getting 1 minute men or guys that will hang up before 45 seconds and therefore I get $0. Sigh is this happening to anyone else?
Ginnyyy
12-07-2018, 02:09 AM
I am using it for exactly one year as well :)) I am not seeing those guys often at all. I have one in like 3months who ends the call before one minute but then doesn t bother me with other bogus calls or comes back later because our connection wasn t good enough and tries again. I know these guys are banned from the site because when I was new, I kept an eye on their accounts and TTM closed them. I guess other girls keep reporting those guys.
Ginnyyy
12-07-2018, 02:20 AM
Also, since the new pay per minute webchat, you might have noticed some of the guys are moving to chatting via 0.25 messages instead. Luckily, we can charge them for opening our messages.

I get those guys frequently and it drives me nuts. I'll often get the same guy back to back.
I wasn't aware that TTM would do anything about it though so instead of reporting them I've just been sending them a message saying to fu** off and blocking them lol.

Could someone explain how "Watch A Movie" feature works? I clicked on the Help FAQ about it and it just tells me "Page not found" - I've had several guys ask for this and I'm not sure if I go to the watch a movie section and get charged 0.20/minute? Or how it syncs up with the caller?

I have been blocking them as well. But i actually took the leap and raised my prices on every profile with a 5 star rating except one profile to $2.99 a minute instead of $1.99 and i dont get those guys as much as i did. I only had 1 in three days versus multiple a day.

I don’t get any emails from Ttm anymore so I am completely out of the loop when it comes to new features and updates, I took some time off for maternity leave and I’m really lost now. I wish they had forums or something to connect with other talkers because it’s really isolating when you don’t have anyone to share tips and tricks with. But maybe that’s just me

I just signed up but I'm fairly convinced (before even trying) that I may not make any money at all... I feel like being from Canada is a disadvantage? Maybe?
At first glance, the site seems very confusing to understand, maybe there are some helpful youtube videos out there anyone might know of?
I'm assuming taxes need to be filed as an independent contractor, maybe I should register a business as a graphic designer since that's what i"m studying and putting aside 30% too... Clearly, I'm not very confident from the get-go. But if it's worked for others out there then maybe I should have some hope.
Canada post SUCKS so I'm worried about getting the check in the mail but I guess that's just something you've gotta deal with.
Any advice for my brand new butt from anyone out there would be lovely!

Whenever I have some time, I make myself available for Direct Calls. I think guys buy blocks of 15minutes there cause most of them stay 14-15 minutes on a call, I've seen 45' too, so it makes me think they re blocks of time. But... when I'm being on the queue, I get to hear the greetings from the VChat lines as well. My point is, I've heard several guys introducing themselves as a "professional male" :))) Now, my English is not native, but I don't think professional + male means anything, it's just for the lulz. Makes me and my bae laugh every time, cause I keep the phone on speaker whilst on the queue.

I'm not sure how being from Canada would be a disadvantage on the site. Your relationship with Talk to Me (and Niteflirt and pretty much all the sites that are discussed on Stripper Web) is not that of an independent contractor. They aren't hiring you, they are merely a platform, like eBay or Craigslist, where you can offer your services for sale.
All income you make needs to be declared, so, yes, set aside some money to pay your taxes. You don't need to register as a business and you don't need to lie to Revenue Canada about where the money comes from. If you use Turbo Tax or the like to do your taxes, just use the version for someone with self-employment income. It'll guide you through earning online revenue and will have you put in what websites you work on.
I don't think Canada Post particularly sucks. I've always gotten all my cheques from Niteflirt and Talk to Me. I've never had one get lost or arrive significantly late. There's always a risk I suppose, but the vast majority of the time snail mail works just fine.

Woah! Thanks for the reply! I guess I'm having newbie doubts. I'm sure I'll get over them soon enough.
Would you still be able to get the same tax deductions even if you don't register as some other kind of business? It would be awesome to claim some of my wifi and a portion of my rent since being a student is incredibly taxing in itself.
Ah, Niteflirt, another one I've signed up for along with Mygrilfund and Phrendly (I signed up for so many due to doubts about actually earning anything). It feels like Niteflirt and TalkToMe are really confusing to set up and understand... Does Niteflirt and TalkToMe even have just a text option? I've found a lot of into on selling items on those two so that really nice to have as an option.
MyGirlFund and Phrendly are very user-friendly and do have that option, they're a lot easier on the mind to understand.

You can claim business deductions when you are self-employed, but it's honestly not a ton of money unless you have a specific work space and specific tools (like a second telephone or computer you bought just for work). The deduction you can claim for your rent works roughly like this:
Say your apartment has three rooms, a kitchen, bedroom and living room and you do your work in your living room. That's 1/3 of your apartment. Then, say you work 8 hours a day. That's 1/3 of the day. So you're using 1/3 of your apartment for work for 1/3 of the day. 1/3 x 1/3 is 1/9. You'd be able to claim something in the area of 1/9th of your rent as a deduction. In my case, it nets me just a few dollars, less than $100 a year. The software, or an accountant, can guide you through all this, but I barely find it's worth the trouble of inputting all the numbers. Plus, anything you claim, you have to be able to back up if they ever decide to audit you.
If you really start earning serious money, an accountant can help you decide how best to structure your business, but if you're just starting out, filing as self-employed is the easiest and most straight-forward way to go.
There are threads on Stripper Web for Niteflirt and Phrendly that are full of information about each platform. I think there's one for My Girl Fund, too, but if there is, it's not as popular.
Both Niteflirt and TTM have chat options. On NF, it's in-browser chat. On TTM, there's both in-browser and SMS chat. Both sites are more complex than Phrendly and MGF, but they earning potential is way better and there's a lot more options to exploit.

I believe you on the earning potential for NF and TTM for sure! I've read the same from many girls so I'll spend some more time on the sites and figure out their chat options for in-browser and SMS chat... I don't suppose there already a thread for that on this site?
Thanks for the explanation on taxes, I haven't ever claimed my rent or anything bur smaller items for graphic design work I've done I've claimed.
On a side note, I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to set up Skrill payments on MGF. They don't send checks to Canada (which sucks) but I've never even heard of them before. Are they safe to use and how would you get the money into your bank account?

The Niteflirt thread has a ton of information on chat in it since it's a fairly new feature that was introduced just over a year ago. It's also really simple to understand. If you check it out on site, it won't take you long to figure it out.
Chat is a little more complex on TTM and a lot less user-friendly, but there is information about it in this thread.

It wasn’t required when I started with them, but it’s under the programs, the chat line, v chat or whatever you call it. Not the chat room option. CS may be able to walk you through it. Anytime I’ve had issues with anything they have called me to explain or fix it promptly.

Honestly it depends. I can only give you my personal experience. Try as I may, NF doesn’t work as well for me as TTM. I’m sure it could but it would require a ton more effort that while the payoff would be worth it, I can’t wait to get paid. I have 3 characters on TTM, which you can have more but only 3 active at once. I like to rotate them so they almost always look “new”. I take advantage of as many tools that I can, including galleries, vids and audio stories. I have quite a few but I also find that the more often I update the better. I utilize mass messaging only on occasion and email the new guys (no more than 10 a day) to entice them. I take direct connect calls, get online when there are not as many other women listed and try to do v chat at least 6 hours a week, when there aren’t as many on so I’m earninf more by the minute. Some use it to promote their profiles. I typically do not the first time talking to a new guy on the line. After talking to the same guy a few times and when he asks when is the best time to find me, then I share my profile number. That way I’m almost guaranteed a conversion that way. Make yourself available for sext, chat and calls. I am not consistent with my hours or days, sometimes I am logged in less than 20 hours a week due to family obligations. Working like that I can still clear at least a couple hundred a week. Two of my 3 characters remain on the front page almost always. Idk your circumstances, but if you do those things, remain consistent and are logged in at least 8-10 hours a day, it is possible to make decent money. There were a few weeks in which I did work the same hours and did so daily and my income doubled for that month. Whether or not you drive your own traffic is also a factor. I’m not exactly lazy, but I work multiple sites and find that trying to update multiple characters is time consuming and just not feasible giving my lifestyle. Without any outside promotion, updating products weekly and email while utilizing 3 characters, you should be able to clear a minimum of a grand a month. Could you do more? I believe it’s possibls depending what you put into it. NF is many ladies bread and better, your cut out is higher but your competition is stiffer and you need to promote more. Sorry if this is long winded but I didn’t think a simple yes/no would suffice. Finish your hours and give it a shot. However, I won’t discourage you from NF. That could be your moneymaker. Give them both a try, if you find one works better for you than the other, then you still have a side egg. Every once in awhile I get a surge of luck on NF.

You do get paid for your minutes. I’m not sure if you complete before 60 days. I’m assuming you can then get up and running. I didn’t have to do that. But those who I know that have did get paid for them. It should show under your earnings tab.

Jeez. Can t use the discontinued Skype Classic anymore no matter what I do and am stuck with the newest version which is fine but not for TTM.
They have a plug in for the older version and just that. I messaged them for a solution and if they will give us the option for prepaid shows instead.
