Re: What's this?
Yeah I wanna know where these guys come from too. They act like they've never seen a cam site before.
Last night was my first night there. One guy took me private with 40 tokens (2 minutes worth) and it was clear that he thought that would get him more time. He was appalled at the fact that he just spent $15 for 2 minutes. That was the ONLY guy who came into my room who had tokens. There were around 15-35 people in my room all night and only maybe 4 people with members accounts.
I like how CamFlare is set up and how it works but the traffic, while plentiful during the "promo times", is not by any means quality traffic. If I wasn't getting the $7 an hour promo I wouldn't have even stayed on for the 1 and a half hours that I did stay on. That 2 minute private was the only money I made during that time.
On another subject: what is up with the annoying phone ringing sound when you broadcast?? It freaked me out at first so I stopped and asked another model and she said that was normal and everyone will hear it unless you "disable" it. Well the only way I could find to disable it was to turn off my speakers. Then I couldn't listen to music so I felt rather awkward in my room because I listen to music through my computer. Is there a way to get rid of that without turning off my speakers?

Re: What's this?
It's the alert that people enter your room. You hear it on start up but once you're broadcasting under the members list, theres a check box to shut off notifications of people entering your room.
...
I'd keep it off except for tippers only modes.
Question...if you select group chat is it an actual group show with the members paying per minute?

Re: What's this?
I emailed camflare telling them how annoying their traffic is and asking where they are getting these guys from, and this was the reply I got: "We are advertising on a number of networks that provide access to the top porn sites across the United States. We target our advertising to only United States traffic that speak English, and we segment further by targeting those interested in straight amateur porn. Within this subset of targeted traffic, we optimize even further by doing day-to-date traffic evaluations to see what works and what doesn't. The goal here is continual improvement by always tweaking our advertising methods and testing new ideas/options."
The distinction should really be made that "traffic" is not the same as "paying traffic." I'd prefer quality over quantity, and these guys are NOT quality. I'm going to try to put in two hours a day until the end of the pay period, let's see what happens!

Re: What's this?
Good lord, this site is fucking SLOW. 1 hour. 12 guests. 0 tokens. Are they still doing the promotion? Because I got an email that they were but I'm not seeing thousands of visitors. But then again, I am NOT hustling the way that I do on other sites where I actually get tipped more than once a month. I'm fully clothed and only talking when being spoken to, but of course, it's just "can you flash me?" "No." "Just for a second." No. You want a flash? *sticks up middle finger* "Bitch." Lmfao. I CAN'T. I am trying to commit to 2 hours a day on there but honestly, two hours in and I want to pull my freaking hair out.
In a way, actually, I am REALLY glad I didn't get offered $25/hour. Because you know what? The traffic there is so annoying and shitty I probably wouldn't be able to stick to a 6 hour shift, and I'd feel dumb giving up that guaranteed money. I don't think I can finish this first 50 hours thing. Cam gods, please give me strength to not go psycho on these dumb mother fuckers! Although, hey, if I DID flip out, at least my room wouldn't be as boring as it is right now. Hang me?
I'm going to look at cute cat pictures online and try to get back to my "happy" place" so I can finish the next 45 minutes on here without stroking out. Sorry, REALLY just needed to vent here.

Re: What's this?
Just wanted to give you ladies an update: I just got my check from CamFlare and they totally ripped me off. I am on the $7/hour guaranteed promotion and am nowhere near hitting 50 hours. Last pay period I put in 6.5 hours with them. They only paid me for the tokens I made during that time- a whopping $6! So basically my check is $45.50 short. Lovely.
I'm just posting this to let y'all know to stay the hell away from camflare. I know I'm never going to see that money and the amount is so low it's not really worth fighting them over it, but I'm still entitled to that money and I'm mad as hell that they cheated me. Even taking away my personal frustration, the fact that they can't pay models what they promised them is a sign they're not doing well and are probably going to implode pretty soon.

Re: What's this?
Lol they stopped the ringing, I sold some videos last week, always get some sort of tip if I stay online long periods of time, and I'm online now and have 38 in my chat room :) for the promotion, so I think traffic is pretty good.
Also, my check was correct...

Re: What's this?
^Lol, maybe they like you better than me since they decided to pay you accurately :)
No but seriously, out of curiosity, how many paying members are in your room? I don't care about total numbers, that can be deceiving; I care about paying members. Because I just hopped on a site I've only been on for a few days and made a hell of a lot more than $6 just for flashing in free chat, and it didn't take me no 6.5 hours do to it. Kudos if the site works for you, rock it while you can, but I have seen this pattern before and it usually doesn't end well.

Re: What's this?
Are they still using that hour tracker thing that we clock in/out with for the hourly pay? Cuz I can't find that anymore. I got paid the hourly rate for when they did have that but now I'm worried I won't get paid the hourly now that I can't find that tracker tool.

Re: What's this?
http://models.camflare.com/tracker
It looks different than it used to but when I dug through some old emails from them and that's the link I got. I really, really hope you get paid what you are owed :)

Re: What's this?
Thanks! For some reason the URL that I had didn't have the "models" part in it... not sure why. Oh well, I only missed out on like 2 and a half hours of non-tracking cuz of that.

Re: What's this?
Number of paying/tipping guys varies by night. I have 3 guys that normally either tip or take me pvt for a few minutes when I'm online regularly the weekend. Plus alot of the new guys love getting a tit flash for a sign up but always ask how to see more, thats when you try to convince them to buy some tkns and some actually do it. token cost for them is 25cent a token, you get 15cent a token. I had a guy I think it was Friday? Tipped 40tkns ($6 my part) for me to flash my ass for 20seconds. That and I play up to the fetish guys, there's one guy that tips alot to see you try on pantyhose, heels, etc.
Its definitely not my main site but I stick around to give it a shot, and traffic is building there. So we'll see how it goes.

Re: What's this?

Not me, I gave it up, too boring.

Re: What's this?
It still sucks there. I split cam there occasionally mostly for LULZ. Just about everyone on there is a total idiot to the idea of paying for a girl. It's mostly like this nothing in my topic about paying/havent mentioned tips in a while = like 30 guests. Mention tips, rooms dwindles down to two people...still begging for free stuff. It's a sea of pathetic

Re: What's this?
so totally not worth it to sign up yeah? you see it heading in the same trafic road as xpeeps?

Re: What's this?
Cosima, I check out CamFlare every now and then (just to see when they finally go under, sadly) and I guarantee they have never had as many members as xpeeps, there is no comparison whatsoever. That site is HORRIBLE! Right now there are no models online, that tells you something. If you can get in on the $7/hour guarantee and you have free time you might as well apply once some other girls report that they're getting paid these days. Just point the cam at you and watch tv or read a book or something. But I wouldn't count on that money for bills or anything, since they did not pay me the hourly that they owed me my third or fourth check back in September I have no faith that they won't screw over other girls.
ETA: has anyone gotten a 1099 from them yet? Are they even sending them?

Im wondering if anyone who works for them comes on here. someone should email customer support this thread lmao
