How to get QUALITY over QUANTITY in Camming (Add Your Own)
This is what I have learned so far from being on this forum among other things:
You want QUALITY customers over QUANTITY. You are a human being, and deserve to be treated as such. In order to do that, here are some things I have learned:
1. Charge More. You charge more because "You're Worth It!" The minimum amount to charge in order to keep the rude customers at a minimum (notice I didn't say it keeps them away 100% of the time) is $3.99 per minute premium. Exclusive should be a minimum of $4.99 per minute. Yes you can go higher, that's completely up to you. Please don't fall into the "Cheapest is Best!" routine, because I can tell you from experience (in other things of course) that as in everything, cheapest is not always best because in the end, you always get what you pay for.
2. Play By The Book. This obviously means keeping under age people from getting in private with you. Sometimes you can't control that, other times you can. Example: I had this one guy on SM by the screenname of "insanebeaver" (in case anybody wants to put him on your blacklist) who was supposedly 18 and had bought a sex toy. He wanted to share the sex toy with his 10 year old nephew so they could masturbate while watching me. I said no. Needless to say, he left. His money, if he would have spent it, would have brought more harm than good. Bottom line is, you don't know who is there who may be an undercover cop just looking for a reason to get you into trouble. This happens all the time on internet chat rooms with cops posing as underage persons as you can see in the news. I can't stress enough to Cover Your Ass at ALL TIMES.
3. Use That Ban Button! Don't be afraid to use that ban button. Its there for a reason. Keep this in mind: You're not trading time for money working for someone else, you're a BUSINESS OWNER. One of the perks of being a business owner is the fact that you don't have to do business with everybody. Ban the beggars, because they will never buy from you anyways. They won't be happy unless they get something for nothing. Ban the rude customers, because they're not worth you wasting your time by stooping to their level.
4. Anything else I may have missed. Please add your own.

Always keep in mind that quality isn't in what you see, it's what your patrons see. If your video feed is crystal clear and you have the personality of a potato, it's going to reflect poorly on your income.
That's my input. :)

Yea I think personality means way more to these guys .. than anything else... it's a double standard. they can act like assholes but you pretty much have to kiss their damn ass if you want shows.. and bite your tongue when they piss you off.. i mean really!!! i have lost many shows in the past .. because i was myself.. I make more money being a nice lil kiss ass robot...
Men really aren't into quality really to be honest.. let's take the real world for instance.. a man will go on a dating site and pick 100 girls to ask to go on a date.. whoever says yes he'll take it.. It's like that on cam too.. women are a numbers game to men.. if you'll do it! they'll spend money on you.. I am sorry they could care less what you look like.. it's a small factor of whether or not you get a show.
and back to the real world example.. if you will have sex with him?? no matter much what you look like!! just that you said yes!
You know how they say.. there are many fish in the sea...

I don't know; I've seen many girls act like outright bitches to their audience and bank from that attitude. It's a matter of what suits each person.

I couldn't disagree more, and I think this is a really bleak, negative view of men in general. They have just as much of a hold on their taste as we do. At their most desperate, in the "real world" some men may find it difficult to get with a woman in terms of a sexual relationship, and thus may be more inclined to settle for what they can get, but online, and in the adult industry world, there are more than enough performers for them to be able to have their personal pick.
If you meant that it doesn't matter what you look like, there will be guys who will want to see you perform, then yeah I get that.

hmm won't argue with you.. we all have our own experiences.. i could never get anyone to understand anything at all.. but yet i see girls being bitches and no one says a word.. i find it odd.. because those girls have same personality.. if i act like that .. they say .. you are a bitch.. no one wants you with that attitude.. avoid at all costs.. etc etc.. so i cannot be myself at all.. unless i wanna not make money. Hell whenever i crack jokes or say something funny all the guys leave...LOL.... they only stay when I am .. hi baby.. oh i love it.. i love it all !!! I love a double fist up my ass honey but i don't do that in my shows.. BUT I LOVE IT!!! for me i know being a kiss ass works.. i wish i could be myself.. it would be more enjoyable to me.
Sorry you don't agree with my male comment.. but i have done over 150,000 cam shows and talked to even more of them.. since i first started.. so I do have plenty of experience to say what i say.. I don't say anything just because i feel like it.. I KNOW what i talk about.
It is amazing my vagina still works and looks pretty good.. it is true they take a pounding and still continue to work unlike balls which are so fragile..lmao

1. Everyone has there own hustle so what works for you works for you...
2. Im not that pleasant and sorry im providing a service since when do i have to kiss someones ass when this is a mutual thing.
3. men like high-end escorts over crack hoes (im quality baby) only guys that can only afford McDonald's like quantity.
4. No amount will keep the dicks away because there is always someone looking for a freebie.
I will agree that the ban button should be your best friend
Re: How to get QUALITY over QUANTITY in Camming (Add Your Own)
BE FRIENDLY
Even if someone is being a dick in your chat room don't let him wreck it for you or the other guys. My policy [before ban hammer] is to pick out the freebie hunters and harass them about shows. Usually they'll bail at the first mention of a show. If they don't and IGNORE me I kick em. If they stay and say some stupid excuse..kick em. That way you and the rest of your room have something to giggle about =p
