A true example of why being greedy in this industry will benefit you
I know a lot of you are starting to see what happens when you post too many details about sites. (spoon feeding whatever you wish to call it.) A lot of sites are starting to sink, crash, and burn. In this business ladies we do need to be greedy and look out for number one! However, I can understand if you give and take in consideration. I would like to share with you a story of my early days in the camming biz. This happened with a small site I mentioned questioning if it was real. I chatted it up saying it was good. Here are the details:About a year and a half ago, this new adult dating site came out. They were paying models by the hour to just sit in their video chat, and interact with the members to stay on the site. You could work as many hours as you liked. Members and lurkers went running to this site and signed up. They accepted all the girls, but probably after about 2 weeks or so they started to limit the models hours. They could no longer afford to pay for all the models on the site. They limited the hours, finally models could only work ONE hour a day. Now this site no longer does any of that. You can apply this logic to ANY of the cam sites out there. Some of you girls seem to think money is unlimited. With sooooooo many girls money can become more scarce. I know this example was of a site that paid hourly and technically was not a camming site. Think about it though this all starts adding up. I remember a year ago, I could log into Streamate and not be in free chat too long. Yes, gold shows did change things a bit. However, if any of your girls notice the girls on Streamate have sky rocketed! In the past 6 months or so every girl has been bragging about Streamate saying it is the best site etc. Same as with MFC girls have been flocking to the two. Plus lets not forget Adult work ladies. That is pretty over saturated now too! The point I want to get at is are any of these girls/ studios/ lurkers whoever putting food on your table or benefiting you in way by you sharing all this information? It seems like it is just hurting everyone (myself included...) Even if your earnings are not affected now they could be in the future. You never know what the future may bring. Keep things money wise to yourself. If a site is going well for you keep it to yourself. Share information only if it benefits you! However, if a site screws you over does not pay you etc...then blast them to the ground and let everyone know you got screwed. Also remember NEVER keep your eggs in one basket. It is really starting to show now. I hope you all can benefit from this advice. Please remember these people here do not put food on your table, pay your bills, keep that roof over your head, and make you the best cam girl or whatever you can be. There is plenty of other information that can be shared besides what sites have all the money and all that spoon feeding bullshit. Plenty of other things to talk about and post in Camming Connection.

Re: A true example of why being greedy in this industry will benefit you
I think those who wanna help should help, and those who don't want to, shouldn't. At one point every member in here has benefited from knowledge that was posted in here which i'm sure we're all grateful for. People are different, some people are more individualist, and some are more collectivist. I don't think people should get upset if people want to help others, and I also think people should use a little discretion on what they're posting and shouldn't give away too much. This is a forum about camming, what else are we supposed to post about if not tips, site info, etc. What our favorite color dildo is? I dont know, that's just me. I try to help as much as I can but of course I damn sure am not going to give you the complete blue print to my camming career.

Re: A true example of why being greedy in this industry will benefit you
Yea, its the site's fault.
Its the " too many models online" fault.
Its this and that's fault.
It is the way it is.
Stop complaining.
just like artists, camgirls get to a point when they need to re-invent themselves to survive in this camming world.
And thats the hard work part.
You need to think what u can change about yourself , try it out, change, try it out, think again, try it out again.
Whats interesting to me is that : we all know what we need to change.
Instinctively we know.
But its hard. Its like having to say to yourself you're not good enough anymore.
Well, within the circumstances, you are not.
But you can change THAT!

Maybe if SM gets a few hundred more girls to replace the ones fucking their ass in free chat for hours each night, Ya know.... good quality models? Then maybe it will attract better quality customers for us all.
Exactly! Just like raising/lowering prices on cam sites may attract certain types of customers. A model could be $1.99 on ImLive (and she only gets 30%), and I bet she'd STILL get a bunch of guys trying to ask for discounts and whatnot...lmao.

Re: A true example of why being greedy in this industry will benefit you
I used to recruit new models and send them to SM through the place I signed up, I was not getting commission, I wasn't getting any bonuses for new models, I realized I was creating more competition for myself and other models so I quit recruiting.

Re: A true example of why being greedy in this industry will benefit you
Well lets all see the truth people started saying its slow.....others say we are lying .....but the truth hits ....in the end IT is slow ....even PJ's numbers are screaming that!!....Fact is the lowest on the Totem see it first....its spreading up to the studio level...
Truth is I knew i was working harder because i calculate it as time/earnings.....each one of us noticed it was sliding....we arent fake . Remember most of us work 7 days a week!.....most of the ones saying we are lying work 2 days a week....and i KNOW somearent in that Catergory.....Please dont respond to this then.... In fact the total earnings are DOWN the time on cam has skyrocketed . .... I miss chatzy ....I could tell how my day was going to go because of how other girls were doing and could plan my day accordingly Now I'm flying blind again...(a tear drops)
edit....and the laughs made the boredom bearable...:((

The post was in response to a previous one showing an example of how the numbers are posted sorry, eg:
AW= +5%
SM= -10%
MFC= +100%
Not proper stats, just showing how they have been posted in the past.

I know right?! Bloody hell, it's nearly illegible.

Re: A true example of why being greedy in this industry will benefit you
... we used to talk about numbers and specific sites and there was never a problem. :/
also, just because some ppl havent been doing so good lately doesnt mean we should lower our goals from what they were/are.
theres enough $ for everyone, the earth is and will always be plentiful. and i dont want to argue or anything but... i really dont agree with this post.
Stripperweb is a community where people go to seek and give help, it is truly amazing and i dont want to change anything about this place. if you want to take and never give even when you have something valuable to share, then you shouldnt be on here... because this is a COMMUNITY.
plus, you could recruit people to sm all day long, that doesnt mean they will do well or even stick around, different places for different people.
when it comes to being greedy about pricing and what youre selling to men (who often have little or no respect for us) then i agree, be greedy all day long.
but this post... is a bit selfish. i consider everyone on here like family, and in my real family, there isnt anything i wouldnt do for my sister.
