Re: Making Gold Shows Work
i've found that counting down the number of pledges til the show starts and taking off clothes as pledges go along seems to encourage them to pledge more :) if i set the goal for $50 and take my top off at $25, i'll be like, "5 more pledges til my top's off!" and so on and so forth, then once that's done, "5 more pledges til i'm naked!" - i've found this is the best strategy i have for actually meeting the goal. before this i struggled to get 3/4 of the way there. now i'm trying to up my goals to $75-$100/show.
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
out of the 6 things u listed, I only agree with 2
:1. Dont undersell yourself
2.Give them something to encourage higher than minimum pledges
And...........
If you see someone with pledge $20 or more that will be me.
I made goal with one show of $300 goal and $21 pledge a few days ago and a few others joined too, 3 or 4 if i remember well.
The point of gold shows is not to sell them for $1/min or under..
but to sell them at 50% off regular price or something around that number.
Fuck the sheep mentalityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Bleah.
Yea this is hard, but deff. doable.
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
In a perfect world those would work, but a lot of them I don't really find accurate.
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
Heres my tip, Ive completely STOPPED pvts, ALL my income is from gold shows..
Set your gold show LONG, Yup i said it... Do long shows, Set the entrance price HIGH.
(6 bucks)
The longer you are in there, The more people will come in, and join to watch..
Its basically NO FREE CHAT!
Like the nude option on the other cam sites you girls like so much.. Just say in your topic, NO requests, or the men will drive you crazy... Make them tip more for that.

I giggled! <3
I have to say I've never been able to complete or do a show for a long time. The couple times I made it 10+ minutes hardly anyone joined, but my 6 minute shows? PACKED. I dunno. The universe conspires. Crafty universe! *shakes fist*

So are you saying $6 is HIGH for a LONG gold show? Or did I misunderstand what you meant?
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
ATLEAST. Lol i usually set my long gold shows (20 minutes or more) at 10 gold. The higher you set it, the more "quality" guys you get in, But also the higher you set it, the more they want to own you, Lol and more will be expected of you.
I do 1 gold show , or my late night shows, at 5 gold, the late night guys , usually dont spend as much in my experience.
But yes , its WAY worth it to do longer shows, I usually set gold around 300, and have around 30 people in the show at a time, plus another 20 join through out the show.
I do have to say, on slow nights the longer shows are harder to get, because you have to set the GOLD high so the money evens out.
So i would use that as special treats. :D

Yeah ummm, that's not going to end well lol. First of all, the guys doing gold shows want it as CHEAP as possible, so they rarely pay more than $6-$7 per show, or will incessantly complain when its higher. Second, you're SCREWED if you do a long show and no more guys come in because, if you stop your show, you get NONE of the money.
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
I think $6 buy in is low to average. My standard gold show is $5 for 7 mins. I would personally consider anything over $10 as "high" but even that isn't too bad.
This is just like everything else in the cam world. What works for some won't work for all.
I am actually finding that I get more pledges and can reach a higher goal if its around $7 for 9-10 mins, just as easy as a lower goal with lower buy in.
It's all about getting a feel for the traffic and the kind of guys you are working with. If I know I have big spenders in my room or guys who have bought several shows I will make the price and goal higher. If I have a lot of guys who have not spent time with me before I'll do lower to reel them in. It takes practice to figure out what works best for yourself.
OP has some good starting points for girls just trying out gold shows tho. I love gold shows, it's so much more fun and makes the time spend working fly by when you get guys having fun and interacting with you.
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
Maybe part of the problem is there new tv ad campaign for streamateparty.com hyping up the partychat and goldshows. The slogan is "Let $5 bucks make you feel like a million bucks" :banghead:

Re: Making Gold Shows Work
I would loveeee to do GOLD SHOWS but they never work for me . . .I've done two successful shows but thats it. They work for some but not for others . . .lol.
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
My feelings are that no viewer should be seeing xxx shows from us for under $1 a minute minimum.
I don't want to take the risk of a long show for less than that because my net connection could drop or the power could go off and I would be furious if I did a 30 minute xxx show and didn't get paid, especially if they only paid like five dollars. I know we all have different methods of working our rooms, but doesn't this worry any of you who do longer shows?
It's too bad they won't at least pay a partial payment if you come close to completing the time and got disconnected through no fault of your own.
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
I used to be very anti-gold show but I'm starting to see huge potential now that I've figured out what works for me. One thing that I've found that helps me to Always get to my goal is to set the goal low. My buy-in is $5/7mins, and I always set my goal at $35. The times that I've tried to set higher goals like $50 or $60 it's like guys get intimidated by such a high number and won't pledge. Maybe they think it will take too long or the goal won't be reached? I don't know. The funny part is, I almost always get that $50 or $60 anyway because more guys pledge or buy in after the show starts, so I'm not really missing out by setting a lower goal.
Also, I never start the counter unless I have 3 or 4 guys request a gold show. Once I get the first couple of pledges out of the way the rest come in fairly easily.
I sometimes perv other girls who are counting down to gold shows and as a potential viewer, I find it to be a turn off when the girl keeps repeating over and over how many guys/how much more gold she needs and doesn't talk about anything else, never mind anything remotely sexual. I myself may mention it once or twice if the counter is starting to run low, but I personally find I am much more successful at getting my show when I entice my viewers with something along the lines of, "Oh my gosh, y'all got me playing with my tits and shaking my booty and my panties are so freaking wet right now. I just need 2 more guys before I can f*** myself- I'm really horny right now, don't make me beg for it!" Sounds a lot more inviting than "$10 left. 80 seconds to go."
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
Gold shows are the devil.....screw that .....
I know , I know i sold out recently ....I feel my own Shame :((
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
^glad Im not alone, I hate them also.
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
$35 goal?? That's $10 and some change to do yourself in front of 7 guys. Yeah....no thanks.
Definitely something that should be in the private thread ladies.

Welp, at least they didn't take the myFREEcams route. That's all I can say. If a guy is horny, he probably won't care if he ends up spending $40 instead of $5. And if all he has to spend is $5, he's probably a freeloader or spends most of his time on tube sites. At least this actually gets us paying traffic!!
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
I agree that at least they didn't know the "myFREEcams" route, and at least people do still have to PAY into a show, so very unlike MFC where tons of guys can just go and look for the free show that a girl is doing at any given time (and there always is a room with a free show). Still though, still. . I am old fashioned and I very much miss the days when free and cheap shows were scarce.
Re: Making Gold Shows Work
I hate them too, but I"ll do them for fun every now and then. If they miss my goal, f*ck it back to privates. I make it EASY for them, they make it HARD for themselves by not pledging..Not my problem.
