Newbie on SM here with some general questions about the industry!
So i finally decided to sign up after lurking this site for the last few weeks!
I recently just got into camming via SM and this is the first time ever i have done anything like this. I'm doing it undercover (not telling anyone i know) for now, so i don't really have anyone to ask for things that i think i need to know in order to be semi-successful. So here it goes.
1. Can customers choose how much they want to tip? Or are all tips the same amount? If not what do you guys have for your tip rates for flashing tits and booty and all that in free chat if any?
2. My one friend who does this told me she has a specific place for amazon wishlist links although she is on naked.com, does SM have that? and if not how does the amazon e-gift cards work.. is it through email? Do you ask specific members to send them to you or is that something they offer to buy you?
3. My friend also on naked.com told me that if anyone steals the content from her shows and post it on other sites, they have lawyers that fight to remove it and actively search for stolen paid site material.. is that also the same here?
4. When you are taken into private how long do you take before you start playing with toys? I had one member take me to private and i did somewhat of a sexy strip tease for like 3ish minutes and just as i got fully naked i'm not sure if his account ran out of balance or if he logged out, the screen flashed a couple times and then gave me a countdown to get ready for free chat again. So that made me wonder if i took to long to "play with myself" but at the same time i personally feel like it should take at least a couple minutes before getting to it.. am i wrong?
thanks in advance for the help! Sorry i'm such a newbie at this!
Re: Newbie on SM here with some general questions about the industry!
1. Customers can tip any amount they want. You can charge whatever you want for a request as long as it's not explicit or showing vag. Most girls ask for tips for showing tits, ass, feet, standing, etc.
2. No wish lists or outside contact on SM.
3. Streamate has thousands of white labels and they record your shows and will post them on said white label. If you find your content on a tube site, you don't need the site to send a DMCA as you can do that yourself.
4. Wait at least 30 seconds. The first 30 seconds of any private or exclusive chat is free. Take long enough to weed out the peepers, but don't wait too long that they get bored. Some guys want to immediately get to the play so, it depends on the dude.
