what do you think about streamate blocked sessions?
looking through SM and it my first on their site, have webcamed on other sites before. just want some opinions on why you wouldn't offer blocked session also why you would offer block sessions and how much time would you spend on it? do you think it's worth your time? would you only accept for regs. or all paying customers?
15 Minute Block Session enabled
A 5% customer discount would be applied to the 15 minute block session.
Your exclusive chat rate would be decreased to $4.74/minute for this block.
Your premium chat rate would be decreased to $3.79/minute for this block.
30 Minute Block Session enabled
A 10% customer discount would be applied to the 30 minute block session.
Your exclusive chat rate would be decreased to $4.49/minute for this block.
Your premium chat rate would be decreased to $3.59/minute for this block.
45 Minute Block Session enabled
A 15% customer discount would be applied to the 45 minute block session.
Your exclusive chat rate would be decreased to $4.24/minute for this block.
Your premium chat rate would be decreased to $3.39/minute for this block.
60 Minute Block Session disabled
A 20% customer discount would be applied to the 60 minute block session.

Personally I do not offer and will not ever offer block sessions. I don't see any benefit to them... only lost money.
If guys want a discount, they can join my goldshow, otherwise they are shit outta luck :)
Re: what do you think about streamate blocked sessions?
I like block sessions, several times the dude had to leave early (like only spend ten minutes in exclusive when he bought a fifteen min block) and I got paid for the whole thing!
Re: what do you think about streamate blocked sessions?
I offer block sessions for roleplaying because for me, giving a discount to someone who is going to stay 15 minutes or more makes sense. I only do them by appointment though.
Be careful. The block session pop up looks very similar to the exclusive one. I have accidentally clicked accept once or twice not realizing that they were actually block sessions and not exclusives.

This!! happened to me too a few times before i realized what is going on lol. Ok, i have block sessions enabled cause this is driving guys in, i dont do gold shows so they the only discount type show i'll offer plus yes, they sometimes leave earlier and i get the money for the entire time they bought. It evens out.
What its disturbing me is the system, i got the message "ur time is up and now u should disconnect, if u dont do it U WONT BE PENALIZED but the member is going to continue to pay at discounted rate" bla bla
Now what i am supposed to do, continue the show and let the guy stay at discounted price or cut him off and risk he wont come back? Dont make me responsible for how u do things there SM!
Re: what do you think about streamate blocked sessions?
I like them, largely because guys often leave before the time is up, and I get extra money. Yay. Also because it helps me slow down and take my time - and I like knowing that I HAVE the time, and won't lost a show if I don't get moving "fast" enough. Grr.
As for the disconnecting thing - I have often wondered if anyone actually shuts it down? I would feel really unfair doing that, and I feel like it would be more likely to just piss off the customer and prevent them coming back. My rates are high enough that block sessions make me a lot of money, and I like doing them, so I like to try and encourage those guys to come back.
Re: what do you think about streamate blocked sessions?
Love 'em. Wish my current site offered them. I'd get super excited every time I got one because it's guaranteed money. Guys who got them with me tended to either leave a few minutes early or stay a few minutes late. I've never disconnected once the block was officially over, even knowing that they were still being billed the discounted rate. I often had to wait a while in free chat in between shows so I had no problem with performing for 5% less, because money is money.

When I offered them I never ever shut them down until the customer was ready to be done. I know that he still gets the discount after the time is up, but why would I discourage him from continuing the show. If he wanted to keep going, I just kept going. I had some who would just buy a longer block the next time.
Re: what do you think about streamate blocked sessions?
As the OP of the thread SarahTime posted I did want to say that I still LOVE block sessions, but hated finding out that I didn't know everything I should have known about them. I have tons of regs that ONLY do block sessions and I still have many "services" I only offer with a block of time.
Now I spend 3 minutes teasing.
