Need help with really slow traffic
This has probably already been posted ...
But i need help promoting myself... I work on Ifriends and Imlive and today
BOTH of them were soooo slow didnt make hardly anything...
And i really dont want to waste my time i think today was the worst traffic i have ever had since i started camming about 6 months ago...
I really want to be succesful at this and i know putting in the time is a big deal
But does anyone have advice on getting myself some traffic on these sites?!
Thanks in advance :)

Re: Need help with really slow traffic
I've been on both those sites for years. If I knew of a way to get enough traffic I'd still be hosting mainly on ifriends.
There is a good reason most of the top hosts have left Ifriends and ImLive for Streamate and/or MFC - their traffic has died down completely and unless you have your own following I doubt it will ever return.
Hell, if I had a way to get my own traffic I would just use Alertpay.
You may have to do what most of us veteran hosts have done and move on to a site that has paying traffic.
Re: Need help with really slow traffic
you should find a site to work on with a good percentage, sign up for an affiliate program if they have one and direct all the traffic to you.
here is a thread to help ya out:

Re: Need help with really slow traffic
I do pretty well on Imlive, around $30/hr, I try to log in at the same times, same days every week. I sit in Free Chat the whole time I am on, try to not log out of the chat room for 1.5-2 hours, and put in 4-6 hours of consecutive time. In free chat I am perky, say hi to everyone that comes in, out loud and in text. I don't give away free peeks/pay too much attention to any one guy/take requests. I will wave to say hi but I wont get up and show my ass, feet, etc every time they ask. I tell them if they want requests or personal attention to go to private/paid chat OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I dont ask, i say GO NOW and then they start coming :)
I also take new snapshots frequently, put them on the front of my profile, do status updates, message online guests (in your guest folder u can see this), and take notes on my guests to get repeat customers. I also give out my yahoo IM to customers that have gotten long private chats, and log into IM during the days I am going to cam later, to give customers a heads up or to make appointments.
I have not had any success converting customers through message boards/social networking etc and consider them a waste of time, cultivate the customers you hook through imlive traffic or through your own website/blog to become regulars.
I also do mostly fetish/domme stuff so there is less competition for that traffic.
I have my own website/blog where i write, have affiliate links to imlive, and niteflirt, call buttons that show when I am online. Most of my traffic goes to niteflirt b/c I get a higher percentage there so I link to it a lot more. I get a lot of search engine traffic from blogging, and do link swaps with other adult cam/pay sites.
Good luck! I have been doing pretty well, I make the bulk of my $$ on niteflirt but there is no traffic there unless you generate your own. I almost always get steady traffic on imlive and rely on it to fill in the gaps.
I only cam 10-15 hours a week, but used to do it full time and have been doing it on and off for 5 years....so ive got this shit down to a science now lol!

Sort of a threadjack- I've been thinking about using reddit to advertise when I'll be online. Does anyone here do that? I tried searching threads here and nothing came up.

I don't think this is a good idea, it will most likely get deleted very quickly for advertising. Twitter is your best choice for advertising - it's free, easy, has a wide audience, and your posts won't get deleted.

If you are going to promote yourself anyway, you might as well go indy and get 70 or 80-something percent of your earnings as opposed to 30-40 percent. Why give them any money if you are having to bring your own traffic, ya know? :)
There are some different ways to put your name out there and get noticed:
Social Networking
- Twitter, Twatter, Facebook, Myspace, Mypornprofile, Youtube, Xpeeps, Adultspace, etc.
Toplists/Directories
- Here is a great thread started by BlkSharpie:
Classifieds
- Backpage, Craigslist, Adultlist, etc. ( your posting will more than likely be flagged but you can still get some exposure before it's taken down)
Blogging
- Create a blog using blogger or wordpress and exchange links with other girls. You can also consider buying your domain name and setitng up an alertpay account!
Here's another great thread about promotion from ShellyConnors:

If you ladies have your own sites, I have some web positioning tools and SEO tools as well as E-books. I haven't tested the tools yet, but the e-books are on my mediafire.

Promoting myself while working for cam sites????? No thank you!!! I pay 65, 70 percent out of my revenues already for the SITE TO PROMOTE ME.
If i have to promote myself, i will go independent.
This is why I mostly promote my account on niteflirt.com, where make you 75% or so. and with Imlive if you convert customers from free chat you make 100%, if you use an affiliate link and convert customers from your site you make 50% (instead of the usual 30%)
