Re: Stumbling my way through indy. Need a tip? Take a tip! Have a tip? Give one!
I'm looking into getting into indie. Also. Beyond over the big box b.s & low % they pay. Loving this thread!
Re: Stumbling my way through indy. Need a tip? Take a tip! Have a tip? Give one!
Its a great thread but I thought we couldnt use payoneer to collect payments from guys as they wont accept "high risk" payments. I thought you could only set up with ccbill or veritol if you wanted to process payments for sex work.
The more I learn the more I get confused!
Re: Stumbling my way through indy. Need a tip? Take a tip! Have a tip? Give one!
I think the best thing you can do in indy is have highly detailed, well-written ads and plenty of sexy HQ photos. On free chat sites, it's much easier to 'seduce' guys when they are interacting with you at that very moment, and you can answer their questions in real time. I have a gif of me rubbing my oil-covered tits on my CMD profile and a lot of customers have told me that it made them want to add me/got them horny for me/whatever.

In addition to all of those things listed in those threads..blogging helps. Discover where the lovers of niche reside and then target them. Pornhub's Year In Review 2015
study that page. Look at the year in review from previous years and make a comparison. Learn your keywords and attach it to everything you put on the net. The title of your blog post,tweet,use keywords in the title of your images. Instead of saving pics me_yellowbikini save it as bignaturals_sexy_yellowbikini.jpg this way you show up in google image search. Its so much stuff you can do to drive traffic to a website. It's endless. Read up on traffic and how it works and then the ideas will come to you.

CCbill is supposed to be used for paidsites. You can have it implemented into your own site as a payment gateway. I used them in the beginning but didnt like that $800 fee for visa. And some other stuff but can't remember at the moment? Veritol is much better I feel. One problem with Payoneer is there isn't any guarantee that they will allow your payments to go through. I know of some who've never had any issues after a few years and then i know of others who got flagged after the fifth attempt. For me it was like 3 months before they requested additional info from a customer. They wanted a pic of his license and his id before they would allow the transaction. Not many are willing to go through this. The only way to guarantee payment through Payoneer 100% of the time is if you are going through one of their business partners. SM,MFC etc
When it comes to Indy processing the name of the game is to have as many options as possible. Things change all the time. This is a really old thread and many of the stuff listed is outdated.

They put a stop to that awhile back. This is an old thread.
Re: Stumbling my way through indy. Need a tip? Take a tip! Have a tip? Give one!
So in that case, what methods of payment are current and work best for indie/skype shows? I've been searching a lot of threads and not finding any information that sounds reliable.

livecammodelshows.com you get 85%
cammodeldirectory.com you get 75% and 80% after you have made 500 (gross) during the current month. Defaults back to 75% starting each month.
skyprivate.com- 75%
Love indy, I have way less stress (I hate freechat, it leaves me exhausted) and way more money.
I think giving 15-25% to those sites if very fair, so I don't have to worry about anything.
Re: Stumbling my way through indy. Need a tip? Take a tip! Have a tip? Give one!
I love doing indy, but I find I seem to have a bit of a problem with advertising - getting them to SEE me when I'm indy. Any marketing tips (other than using twitter, cuz I already do that) appreciated!
Re: Stumbling my way through indy. Need a tip? Take a tip! Have a tip? Give one!
I would love to do Indy and just market myself. I LOVE camming but I hate sitting around in free chat, asking for tokens, or being paid a low %. It would be supplemental income since I want to make most of my money from clips, my site (when I set it up), photos, publishing literotica, and the other work I do. I jut want to focus on the other stuff and let the money roll in. ;)
Re: Stumbling my way through indy. Need a tip? Take a tip! Have a tip? Give one!
I've also noticed that so many Indy sites go belly up. Makes me kind of nervous.

No need to be nervous. Sites like LCMS come from people who know the game. They've done this and studied it
Just jump in there. I started doing this ish before I knew SW existed. I had no frame of reference. No idea how others were doing it. I was just doing it. And after awhile I started getting results. Write your ideas down and or record it on your phone. I do better with writing. I come back to the ideas later and expand on them.
Sometimes they're monumental and other times not so much. My advice is to document your ideas because you can always come back to them later. I don't mean to sound vague but there is a wealth of info on this site and the net in general. Read everything you can on internet marketing. Pay attention to female oriented campaigns online. Just because its not the adult business doesn't mean it's irrelevant. If you excel at this then you can branch out to other things more mainstream if you want.

I do absolutely zero advertising and still do well on indy. All of my customers are either built-in traffic from CamModelDirectory, or guys who know me from Streamate. Working on a big site helps a ton. What amazes me is that many of my SM + CMD guys *still* show up on SM and do shows with me there for more than 2X the price. O_o

There is also webstream.co.uk you use their software or they can build a basic site for you with the software built in. You can do pay per min phone and cam, or just take donations for a 15% cut. That's who I use for indie. Hyori posted one the other day too - a site by ahsley adams that's basically your own payment gateway x
Re: Stumbling my way through indy. Need a tip? Take a tip! Have a tip? Give one!
I just can't seem to get shows on Skype. Every once in awhile one pops up but that's it. I'm thinking of lowering my rates but I'm sure part of it is just a failure to advertise correctly. I post the crap out of my indie sites on Twitter but obviously isn't cutting it. Is Backpages and Craigslist worth it? I was under the impression that was used mostly by escorts but I'm really not sure . The whole thing confuses me lol.
