You can try but in my experience the magazines will sly. I am using my Mac Pro!

I use a tray~ you know the kind that is made for serving food in bed. It's great because You can use it flat, or raise the legs on it.

That's an awesome idea, too. Gonna check it out at the store next week ("Yeah, I... I just have a THING for eating in bed").
Meanwhile, I'm gonna try out the books and maybe also a little wooden stool that I have, it might work as well.

But... which kind? I can't put it on the table in front of me because it will be too far away; it's comofrtable for me when it's next to me on the pillows.
Am I damaging my laptop by doing that? Do you guys have any alternatives?
Absolutely never on pillows or bedding! My laptop overheats and I'm using this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/LAPTOP-HOLDE...p+holder+stand
it's better than the one I was using before with a built in fan as it allows much more airflow.

Hi guys,, Sorry I have been MIA for awhile.. but I am back :) Is there anyway someone could please show me what encoder settings to use now that we are broadcasting in widescreen on SM? I have a junk ass computer that usually streamed ok before the transition, but am now seeing long lags and freezing. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am using a windows PC and a Logitech 9000 with encoder version 3.1. A screenshot would be amazing. Also are we supposed to stream to baseline or main? Thanks guys !

My very first paid chat I had a guy take me to exclusive and did not say anything, he asked for C2C and I accepted, and he didn't say anything but "you're cute" and stared at the screen. (Keep in mind, I have NEVER worked in any type of adult industry or done anything like this before; I have watched a couple videos from other girls but they always look like they're consulting the screen every once in a while and responding to directions or something). I'm wondering if the guy is paying and says nothing, are you just supposed to do you own little thing lol? Like I tried to ask him what he likes and stuff and he would just laugh / shrug, so I said "okay I'll just dance" and that's pretty much what I did for 20 mins, and he just kept smiling / laughing and saying I was cute until he ran out of money. He did seem like a nice guy and was nice to me knowing it was my "first time" lol, but I felt stupid / nervous :( What do you think is expected of you when they're paying but not telling you what they want? How do you ask them what they want? :-\
I'm wondering if the guy was recording you...other girls have more experience of this and ways to mess up their recording. Otherwise, just chat with them until they tell you what they want.

I keep searching and so far not really finding my answer. What is the best way to receive money from a customer? A customer wants to spoil me with some cash and I want to go with a place with the lowest fees. I know no PayPal.

I'm reading through the giftrocket thread now just wasn't sure if that was the best or just the best at that time.

Re: Have a Question Related to Camming? Unsure Where to Ask? Post ANY AND ALL Here!
ok, so i've hit a bit of a slump. I took a few days off and i went from to doing pretty well to not making any money, like at all. I'm trying to get into twitter and blogging more for promotions and such but i'm still not really seeing any progress. Since this slump I'm having a really hard time getting motivated to get on cam. I'm moving soon and really need some cash. has anyone had a similar situation? and if so how did you deal with it?

Re: Have a Question Related to Camming? Unsure Where to Ask? Post ANY AND ALL Here!
I'm really struggling to turn up anything using the search feature, so I apologize if this has been discussed ad nauseum. I'm looking for threads about lighting for cam, and posing on cam.
I've read about a million tutorials on lighting and I'm still struggling. Everything was fine until I has to start using that god-forsaken HD encoder. Now I'm getting harsh shadows and my make up looks shiny. I use studio quality film make up so that shouldn't even be possible.
Having a mild freak out about this. If you could point me to the right thread, my nerves would be grateful.

You might have better luck posting this in the Chaturbate thread. It's not as commonly used as some of the others and you'll find your experts in there. Is payout every week though? I don't use Chaturbate, but I know that you must cashout before payout, but cashing out doesn't necessarily mean payout. I might be wrong, but if they are biweekly like MFC.. then payout is at the end of the month and they will send your check after the first. No offense, but you seem incredibly high strung and I don't know how compatible that is with this line of work. It's great that you have people who could help you with a lawsuit, but I really doubt that's going to be necessary...

Hello girls!
I'm from Chile, South America, and planning to start camming - but I'm not sure how the payment stuff would happen with me being so far away. Taking Streamate as example, what would I need to get payed from overseas? Would I need a US bank account for them to deposit me there? Or an australian bank account would do the trick? :O
On the other hand, are there any threads that talk about how tax works for non-US residents in this kind of online jobs?
Thanks very much for your timee! <3
-
Re: Have a Question Related to Camming? Unsure Where to Ask? Post ANY AND ALL Here!
^ I'm not sure about other payment methods, but I know that one of streamate's payment options is payoneer, which is worldwide. You can use either their prepaid mastercard or have them deposit the funds in your bank account :) Good luck!

GRACE!
<3 hi so i would say dont overthing the lighting thing seriously. What I do is that I put two simple tablelamps on the right and of the left side of my desktop then I point their light directly to my face. when the lights of the lamps meet they create a beautiful warm light which will make all shadows go away. And I always use warm light!
I know studio lights would be the best but I am sort of old school here lol and hd or no hd i really dont want to show all my lil flaws. Warm light makes your skin beautiful. And I am a BBW so especially in massive heat waves i sweat like crazy but in this light thats not even recognizeable.
I really hope this advice could help you a lot! Kisses <3

THALIA!
I did a lil trick and I also wrote about it in another thread but im gonna say it here too. The night before I had a great time with a custy. He wanted to know more of me so asked me if he can have my email. I politely told him that I m sorry site rules dont allow me to share privvate info about me but this is the 21st century google is my best friend it should be yours too:P And i smiled like crazy. After he spent 90 mins in pvt with me he found more of my stuff and bought 3 of my vids on c4s.
So i guess if you keep blogging and use twitter and add on twitter all your camlinks or if u have a clip store that link too and if you make them search u on the web well they will find all your stuff so yaaayyyyyyyy:)
Of course it works with normal nice members not weird creeps. Take care hun! Hope it will go well for you! Kisses <3

Hi, I am wondering which cam sites offer the option to be only in private and paid chat and to skip the free chat. I want to sit and wait for someone to log in instead of talking to a bunch of beggars ..please let me know.
-
Re: Have a Question Related to Camming? Unsure Where to Ask? Post ANY AND ALL Here!
^ Off the top of my head, AdultWork and IMLive, but the latter is only after you log a certain number of hours in free chat.

SM has an option for local bank transfer via payoneer. Chile is on their list of countries they payout to Australia too. It will be converted to your local currency and deposited in your bank account about 3-4 days after it's sent.
