Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
So recently I've been trying to decide what to do. My goal in this business is obviously to make as much as possible per hour. I have profiles on about 14 different networks right now. I've finally spent enough time on each to where I feel that I can tell which ones would be most worth my times, and I think I need to narrow my focus a little bit more but I would like to know which approach you ladies feel makes the most money?
As I've stated before, at first I was under the impression that working multiple sites is best because you get exposed to more potential customers, especially if you are splitcamming, and you can literally be two places at once! But now that I think about it, I don't really see the point of camming on more than, let's say, 3 sites... there can definitely be such a thing as spreading yourself too thin! In fact, if you work on more than 3 sites but you aren't splitcamming it might even do more harm then good. When you focus on just a couple of sites, you have more time to really learn all you can about how the site works, put in more hours, have a set schedule so you build up a devoted, regular customer base, get more ratings and reviews, thus being higher up in the rankings, increase your chances of becoming a top girl, and qualify for more bonuses. I've seen girls on SW take both approaches. Right now I'm thinking that I'm going narrow it down to my top 3 (ive already decided my top five), and make sure that they all have different peak times. Maybe I will even narrow it down to 2, and I will work my ass off at these sites and focus on getting as high up the rankings as I can, but I will try to put content on as many content sites as I can, since I can make money while I sleep with those. I'm also hired to like 7 pso companies right now so I'm trying to figure out if I should take the same approach I'm going to have to camming with this as well, and then just login to the phone chats while i'm on webcam and whenever i get a call just press the "on break" button on my cam. Do you girls think that this is a good idea, or is there an even more productive/efficient way to capitalize my per hour earnings? I would love to hear you ladies's thoughts on this!

Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
It really comes down to time management, and yes you can spread yourself to thin and then create burn out and eventually dislike or even complete hate your job.
Camming on 1 or 2 sites is really enough. there is a learning curve if your on a site that is not high traffic, but you still make good money.
For me now since I have been camming for 8 years and look back at my time camming I have had my great success when I was camming only on cams.com and sometimes on streamate. I had a job outside of the house.
now things are a little differnet I will be starting school, and working with a customer service company and then back to camming on streamate and cams only. it took a while to figure out what worked best since I got distracted with other gigs in sex work.
So now I strongly beleive it is determining what your goals are, and then having your own balance.

I chose other as I haven't experienced it yet. Signed up for MFC and SM and tried both for the first time tonight while i had a breather from AW. MFC bombed and I couldn't get anything on SM to work, so in the end i gave up trying to splitcam.

thanks for the advice minnie! i think you make some good points. really the only way i see multiple sites being worth it is if you are doing indy and are signed in to a bunch of them at once, including adultwork and niteflirt, and just wait to get show requests. of you do that and eliminate free chat then you aren't messing up your cam quality with splitcamming, and hopefully if you were signed in to enough you would be busy. so in that case it might be worth it just because the percentage for indy is so much higher. But I've never tried this approach so I can't say whether or not it would work. Does anyone do this and have success with it? On the other hand, after some of the things I've heard about site's like webs' finest, and with the recent indy sites where the girl's security has been comprimised, i'm definitely more apprehensive about finding out for myself.

Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
oh, i forgot to add: i'm also going to attempt figuring out this whole affiliate marketing thing, since that is another way to earn money w/o having to invest a whole lot of time into it! i really want to have a smart, successful business-like approach to all this.

"incest"?? Slip of the tongue my dear? ;)

You know you're a camgirl when you say incest, instead of invest!

I started out doing more sites than I could count. I now am on 3 sites. 4 if you count webcams. I don't really count them because I make nothing there.
Oh sorry, the reason why 3 sites, is because I just can not focus on more than that. I also have a vanilla job, blog, make videos etc. So it can be overwhelming at times

Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
I do SM and MFC mainly I have a MGF but I use that for Vids only. I cant split because I usually forget about one site

Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
bumping ;D
i would love to get some more opinions on this!

Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
I'm trying to mix it up a bit. Some sites without free chat will lend themselves to splitcamming while others like MFC and Streamate require more of my focus. I find if I'm on one site all day my earnings go down because guys will get bored seeing me online all the time. Im finding it's less boring to splitcam part of the day then do one busy site part of the day. Still trying to get a routine going.
Plus, with the way I used to bank on Niteflirt and ImLive and now seeing how they have both gone downhill, I will never ever make myself totally dependent like that again. I definitely want my eggs in a lotta baskets! ; -)

Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
I definitely splitcam. I want to maximize the money I make in the hours I'm online. I am logged into an indy site waiting for messages, then I splitcam on 2 free chat sites or 1 free chat and 1 group only site. Works for me. :)
But I do think that you should only have 2-4 main sites you work on and not 15. It can get very overwhelming and it helps to be on just a few sites so you csan build up regulars and they'll know when to find you online and where.

Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
from my personal experience, anything over three is overwhelming.... considering these facts :
you need to remember your customers, you need to update profiles and content regularly for each site, create content /pics for each profile...., making cashout on each site ( it makes it harder when your on several sites)
that's just to much when your trying to focus.

Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
I've been focusing primarily on MFC. It's funny I hated how dead my room was when I started and the cam score worry never leaves my mind. I check it even the days I don't log in. But for some reason it seems to yield easier cash flow without toy usage. I would say my privates are maybe about 20-25% of my earnings on MFC everything else is in tips. Also most of the income seems to come in when I have most of my clothes on... go figure. I try to change it up every once in a while but I'd really like to get back to AW. Also IF is sending me those 6 month later checks and those have been a nice surprise popping up in the mail at $120.00+ a piece. I have gone back there and have swiped an extra $150-$300. Also I keep tabs on MGF too. I only really cam and chat there.

Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
i focus mostly on AW but im interested in having an alternate site for the days and times that adult work is dead... MFC is just too public for my taste and streamate doesn't allow me to block my home country. can anyone suggest a cam site with good traffic that allows regional blocking ?

Have you considered checking out webcams.com? They have good traffic and allow regional, state, and country blocking :)

The majority of the ladies here hate webcams.com (just ask thebrownfox). They say it's no traffic and no money. Me? I love it. She may not like it. It's not as much traffic as sm but it's good quality traffic :)

I used to love webcams.com! few years a go i could make $100 - $150 in an hour! but when they started to record privates and post them for free for members to watch i decided to quit! i had about 5 long privates posted there :( all for free. that was my only site! Then i decided to move away, now i focus on 2 webcam sites and about 4 site selling content, the rest is promo pure promo and social networking.

Ok I now see what you are saying. I am also a webcams.com affiliate and we have access to a lot of free content. I don't mind the videos being used to promo. When there is more than 5-8 guys in my room I KNOW I am getting paid, it never fails. Other sites are filled with freeloaders but not webcams.com.. that's why I like it. So if that's what it is.. then that does not bother me.

Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
as long as my videos aren't posted on sites like this >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> . I'm fine. I know several ladies that had their videos posted on this site. How horrid!
-
Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
yeah thats a pro for members only websites and webcams used to be so great for me, i replaced it with SM though hehe, bah one way or another we will get recorded right?
----> The thing is that i like to focus on 2 websites and divide my time, and make the most out of them.

Re: Working Multiple Sites Vs. Working a Few:$$$$
Dunno about others but I still make a killing on webcams (more than I make on sm). Maybe it's because there are no more than 6 black girls on at any given time. More $$$ for me. lol.
