Am I doing decently on ImLive?
Hi everyone! I've been lurking here for about a week, and I finally decided to join because I have a question.
I have been doing ImLive for five days now. I do a show from 10:30 PM to 1:00 AM, and so far I'm just under a hundred dollars. I'm seeing people on here saying they make way more than that in a NIGHT, so I'm wondering if it's where I'm new? I'm currently charging $2.80, which I personally believe is a fair amount.
Anyway, I've never had more than 5 guests in my room at any given time. Is this a normal thing for the site?

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
For ImLive, yeah not bad I would say. Traffic is super slow there sometimes, at least for me, which is why I don't rely on them much and work other sites.

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
I was looking into MFC but I can't figure out how girls make money on there, plus there's like ten million models and I wouldn't know how to break through.
Any other suggestions?

Streamate is a good site to start on. I have trouble keeping more than a few people in my room at a time, but you still get a decent amount of privates. Some days are better than others...stick with it and see how you like it :)

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
Been hearing good things about streamate. Might as well give it a shot.

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
you'll def make more on sm. I sucked on sm (imo) and still made alright $$

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
I'm on ImLive too and still trying to figure out how to maximize my earnings on that site. Plenty of annoying guests who send those annoying emoticons in chat. Wish there were other good sites other than MFC or SM all I ever hear is SM SM SM SM if you wanna make good money.

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
That is good money for 2.5 hours of work. You should stick with it and see if you can get more regulars.

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
I think that $100 in only 2 1/2 hours on ImLive is cool. :)
I don't do free chat on there though (I don't do free chat on a cam site unless it's mandatory)...I stay in paid chat video mode.
@TheVixen and LaurenAus When you said 'guests', were you referring to ImLive's free video chat, or were you just calling the members 'guests'? I think guests are the guys in ImLive free video chat who have never bought credits.

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
Hi Brown, i meant in free video chat. I've been doing free chat to gain more presence on the site since I'm relatively new.
I think she meant 100 after five days of working from 10:30pm to 1AM if I'm reading it correctly

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
^ This
I worked for three hours last night and made $7. Depressed the hell out of me.
-
Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
TheVixen yeah don't feel bad, I got all cam ready the other morning and sat in free chat for hours with not even one private request. I wonder if it's because I'm still new and haven't built up regulars yet or if the site is really just that horrible.

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
Well, I'll be trying Chaturbate tonight. Hopefully I'll find more luck there.

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
I like imlive, but I dont like how the site dont have traffic. If u complain on the message board over there then all u get is idiotic responses from customer service saying take new pictures, make teaser videos, use free live chat etc etc. They never have nothing new to say....all they do is copy and paste!!!

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
Chaturbate was awesome O_O
I beat my top ImLive dollars in 1 1/2 hours.

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
I do well on ImLive, I have from the get-go. If I put time into it I plan to make enough to reach their Hall of Fame so I don't get chargebacks. I like a lot about the site. I'm not made for free chat based tip sites...just not my personality/hustle.
However that little money on prime-time hours isn't worth it... that's definitely not good... charge more than 2.80 too, your traffic will be much much much higher caliber men. Longer privates, guys who want to chat, etc. Lots of fetish whales on there. A few girls seem to do well with many customers in private at once charging a lower price, but I can't really cater to that well.
After the new girl status/cheap rate dealio is up you should be able to make good money, the regs are super loyal and there are legit financial domination fetishists and people who want you to up your rate. I have bad-ish days now and again but I can put in 15 hour weeks and make a comfy living AND without being tempted to do things I don't want to do...I honestly am pretty softcore, I would say my privates are 75% me sitting there in street clothes chatting or roleplaying. I always go to other sites because ImLive is so glitchy and that worries me, so plenty of eggs/baskets and all that makes me feel 'safer.' I wish I could put in full time hours there, but I can't right now put full time hours in anywhere.
For what it's worth, I don't find free chat super useful except for getting the lifetime 100% commission converts. 100% of 3.80-5.80/minute is pretty awesome.
I think to do well there you really need to educate yourself on fetishes/be in a specific niche OR be a fucking SMOKING HOT Barbie looking type who drips sex appeal. BBWs do really well there it seems, as do those in the 'shemale' category.
EDIT: I am not saying the site is easy money for everyone. I see REALLY hot women working there and putting in insane amounts of hours (over full time for sure) and making very little. I don't know why I can take months off the site and come back and do so well--I am going to say it's because I have a good niche that I've carved and it's fairly unique and well-honed, but I really don't know. I do poorly on MFC, that's for sure. I'm impatient, bitchy, and a hustler. I don't go to sites to make guys fall in love with me and find stringing them along and being besties with them just really really not my thing, and from what I see that's what seems to work on MFC (especially for girls who don't do hardcore/anal/toys/etc).

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
I don't really have a choice on ImLive as far as free chat is concerned. I think I have to have something like 190 hours in to skip free chat.
-
Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
Yeah you do. I haven't done the 120 free chat and I've been working on there on and off for maybe a year and a half or so? You just hit 'enter free chat' then hit 'temporarily exit free live chat.'
-
Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
So if you leave free chat, people can still request private sessions?
-
Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
Yeah if ya don't believe me, open a new tab and check yourself out, you'll see you can choose 'live sex chat' or 'free text chat.' :)

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
That's great! Thank you!!!

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
@blueroo The ImLive 'mandatory free chat' is only required for new ImLive models. TheVixen said in her first post that she'd only been on ImLive for 5 days.
When I first joined ImLive a few years ago (2009 or 2010), free chat wasn't mandatory. I was able to just stay in 'private chat/free text chat' mode. I'm not sure when exactly they decided to do that shit with free chat. I had joined the site a few years ago, closed my account at one point, and when I asked them to reactivate my account, luckily I was able to continue where I left off (paid chat mode only...thank goodness).
So yes, TheVixen, because of the time that you joined ImLive, you will, unfortunately, have to deal with the mandatory free chat for now. I think it's a great site, and I hope that you keep at it. When you complete the requirement(s) to get out of mandatory free chat, you will be so proud of yourself and happy that you don't have to deal with the free chat crowd. Good luck! :)

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
I actually started on chaturbate, and I'm doing much better with it.

Re: Am I doing decently on ImLive?
Glad you found a good fit for you Vixen!!
Fox, I joined after the whole 120 hours of mandatory free chat started... and I STILL haven't completed the free chat hours... I'm somewhere around 80, lol. I hate free chat. You CAN however pause free live chat and still be found! I do it very very often. So they are NOT in fact mandatory... it says as soon as I hit pause something like, "Please note that this time will not contribute to your mandatory free chat hours but you will still be available by guests through private chat or free text chat."

Hmmm, that's weird! Yeah, I hated the free chat too. I just always considered myself lucky that I signed up when I did, and that I never HAD to do free chat. The few times I've done it was by my choice, and I thought it sucked big hairy balls. I know Customer Service is always suggesting that models do it, but that's just part of their copy/paste answer to everything...lol. I'd rather splitcam on ImLive and AdultWork instead, which is more beneficial for me anyway. Too many guys in these free chats thinking they're entitled to stuff they have no business asking for.
