50 tokens is $2.50 Don't flash for that little! 100 tokens is $5.00, flash for that.

This is what I don't like about CB. I had a guy tip me 1 token ONE freaking token and his request was for me to zoom in on my pussy and spread my lips. I personally find one token tips to be insulting and do not entertain them. Would they walk into a strip club and throw a nickel at one of the dancers?
I started questioning whether I should continue on CB after last night, when I was literally fucking myself in the ass, there were 500 people in the room, and no one was tipping. I hate cheap bastards.
Normally you make most of your money in the lead up to the show... like I'd probably charge 3000tk for an anal dildo show and wouldnt start until they reach it (I HATE anal anything though, so that maybe a bit high)... which can sometimes take hours. you could try using the "tip jar" app or something like it. i normally set it at 1500tk for a cum show and dont let myself cum until I've received at least the 500tk on top of the 1500tk I've already made. Remember, having a ton of people in your room doesn't mean you're making bank... I make substantially more on nights that i average 100 people or so than i do from the nights i have 400... on the other hand, once you hit the 1200 viewer mark, your earnings do go up a bit, but not as drastically as you would think.
As far as cheapos go, i like to think of it this way. If he tips you 25tk to see your boob and it's suppose to be 50tk, he'll either tip the extra 25tk for a flash immediately or tell you to fuck yourself... at which point you have just made 25tk for blocking him and doing nothing or 50tk for a flash. There are a few guys on there that will occasionally tip 5tk and then beg for something... I always ask if that's the best they can do. either shuts them up or gets them to tip. there are also a couple guys who will drop like 5tk in every girls room asking for them to zoom or w/e and it's just to see that they can get away with... which i find hilarious because they've just wasted more money than it would've cost for a flash from one model.
I do wish a tk was worth 10cents to us as models and 20 to the site... the boost in $$ would be substantial. plus, it would be nice to make $200 from 2000tk instead of 100... but maybe i'm a bit greedy.
When I was getting checks, it would normally take 5 days past the 7th and 21st to get my check. (sooo normally the 12th or the 26th I'd get my check, though sometimes a little earlier). I seriously suggest getting direct deposit. All but once i've received it on the 7th or before and normally it's a couple days early :D
I've been approved on chaturbate like 10 days ago, but I couldn't go on cam until today. Now my new girl status is gone, I was on page 5 and had 6 people in my room:-\ all grays. They've been nice and all and followed me, for what it's worth, lol. Silly me, I've read the whole thread and I should have know how it works, but I suppose I get confused and believed that it works like MFC where the new girl banner last one week starting from the first time you broadcast.
Should I open a new account? I'm not even sure if it's possible but I really hope so. Otherwise, do you think it is possible to build a following starting from the dead place where I currently am in a reasonable time? I don't have months to dedicate to that, I just can't spend hours everyday chatting for free, lol.
I know that even when you have the new girl status you have to make it works and it doesn't assure success, but it give you the chance to stay on the first page for a short time... starting from page 5 really sucks.
Edit: ok, they answered almost instantly to my email, I just had to delete my account and create a new one, which I've already done. I though it was more complicated, if not impossible at all... I sent my pics and the approval have been fast the first time, so probably I'll be ready to go tomorrow morning :)
This is what I started doing. 3000 for anal show. Got to about 1500 before I logged off, as it was taking too long and I was exhausted. Plus I had just finished a private, with the guy who gave in most of my tips, so I had made what I wanted anyway. I would love if a token was worth that much. I remember my first night on CB I was like, 'ooh! 535 tks hell yes!' Then did the math and learned that was like 25 bucks. I've learned since then, and now I love token sites bc I think a token is easier for a custy to spend than a $$ amount.
*My check took about 5 days to get here, not bad, but definitely switching to DD.
For checks they arrive for us exactly 9 days after the pay period ends like clockwork, so today because of Sunday falling on the 9th.
The funniness comes with their studio program. We have absolutely no idea who all is in our studio on CB. They do the transfers and go through the studio signup link, but there is no roster for them anywhere. We also can't see when they earn money, there's no "real time" stats.
All that we can see is just a username and tokens they cash out every night at 1am, which is really messing with my sleep schedule to do the daily pay. We have a few accounts that give us money that don't match anything people registered as with our program, but they've also never sent an email asking for it...not keeping it, just think its funny.
I'm doing something wrong, I think. As I wrote few days ago, I make a new account because I couldn't work the week after I was approved so I couldn't make the best of the "new girl" tag. Now this time I jumped on cam the day after approval but it's pretty much the same, very few people come in my room and it's like that from the beginning... the first day I was on page 3 with 8 people max in my room, lol.
I may try to work my way up from there but I'd like to know if it's normal or there is something else that I don't get about the placement. My connection is not very good but it's not the worst possible ever, upload speed it's usually around 5 Mbps. Lighting is fine... I don't look bored at all, actually I have fun when I'm there. I have beautiful face and body but that look doesn't even matter too much, I think. The guys seems to like me, those who come in my room usually stay and many of them come back when they catch me online... but it's like, everyday I have 7 or 8 new follower and if I'm lucky one of them is a blue, lol.
Should I show everything for free and do a full show for a miserable amount of token so that people come to see and my placement get better? I think it would be stupid but I don't know what else should I do...
if u do a show for free, people will think u already received tokens and probably not bother tipping. they will however probably record u and watch it over and over again and never need 2 pay you ever :D cause theyre cheap bastards. if u r on a token site u need personality. show as much free tits and pussy as u want but without personality no1 cares. sure u might get the odd small tip here and there but they probably wont come back. try streamate or a private based site.
When I was brand new..like my paperwork to get tokens hadn't even gone through I got on and did flashes for different milestones in followers. I got most of my 2000 followers my first day and most of them are my cash cows there now.
I didn't show anything for free so far. No tips, no tits :) But on my current situation, I was just wondering if I shouldn't show something to get more people in my room. I mean just some flash, not doing my whole show for free. My personality can do nothing if people don't come in my room... What I wanted to know is if it's normal to be on page 3 on your first days, if that's the case I just have to work from there and be patient. I mean, I though that the first time you go online as a new girl you should be on page 1, but I was on page 3 my first day.
my first few days when i had new girl tag, i had 1000 people in the room at all times. they all worshipped me and said how amazing i was, i got 3000ish followers in those first few hours, i didnt do any shows in public but i took a whole load of pvt and group shows. after the new girl tag went away i would log on and have 10 people in the room. after being online a while it would increase to around 100 people but i noticed that only 1-3 guys with tokens at any time and the rest was guests. so i never went back 2 that shit hole.
i feel you guys! I tried CB when I first turned 18 last year and it was a fun site to start on. that's how i knew i would enjoy the more "social" sites so to say. like you guys i had 100s of people in my room and got multiple privates going and tips in free chat with no problem. but every time I go back it gets worse and worse, the last time i broadcasted there i had 100+ people in my room and they were ALL greys, i made a total of 70 tokens that night in just a few hours.
i was really disappointed because i had spent all weekend making a MFC-esque profile for CB and it didn't even turn out to be worth it :( i ended up going back to my usual site, streamate, but I might try MFC soon, take advantage of new girl status there and bring my new snazzy profile to somewhere it'll be appreciated lol
I think I have said it before in this thread, but you dont have to necessarily be all naked and do flashs and whole shows to get people in! Just tease a little, that's what I did in the beginning, I didnt even have goals because I was a complete newbie and didnt know what to do... I just turned on some music and danced a little around in my undies.. played a little with the bra straps, pulled down my panties a little, but never showed anything except for when someone tipped :)
Also I had times where I did just lie on the bed and chatted with guys about random stuff, without even having goals. I somehow reached my daily goals anyway, and that way you also have a lot of viewers which means more followers which means more people who will see you when you're on.
Nowadays I spend the majority of the time just talking and having fun in many ways. Like TeenageAnnie said, especially on Chaturbate it's all about the personality. To me it's rather a community where you even just hang out every once in a while, joke around, and in general just have a good time! - All with the nice treat of sexy stuff on the side ;)
BUT it does not always have to be all about being sexy and looking perfect, I found that the majority of guys prefer to get to know real girls instead of 24-7-horny cumming-machines :) I might sound like a horrible and unprofessional camgirl talking like this, but it pays the bills sooo...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Chaturbate is definitely not your average camsite, though. You will have to be okay with tons of freeloaders and tons of stupid people, but there are also very lovely people on Chaturbate who will treat you very well and spoil the crap out of you!
Also I've been on Chaturbate for maybe half a year now but I heard that this time of the year should be the worst, caming wise.. I read a lot about girls having slow nights etc, so you might want to come back in a few weeks and see if anything changed? Or just keep trying, I think every camgirl does have really terrible nights every once in a while.. we've all been there I guess :x
Thanks ladies! I'll try again and see if it gets better. Just a little better:-\ I hope I can make it work for me because it looks like a fun site to work on! :)
I'm an HTML retard (seriously, my dog probably writes code better than I do) and I finally hit the 16k follower mark, so I figured it was time to upgrade my profile and get it done professionally. Has anyone else done this? How did it go? Is it easy to maintain? Have you seen an increase in income? Thanks!
I agree with the last few posts here. I spend a lot of my time before shows talking and rarely have to show my body, though if someone asks to see my body they can tip for a flash. Your best bet would be to make videos and sell them, but not for too cheap or it's pointless. Make sure you advertise the videos in the chat!
You have to remember that there's a LOT of new people on Chaturbate every day and some of them are exhibitionists that will do everything for nothing, but they will bring in a LOT of greys in their room. I would say greet every blue that you see come in, but in my experience that freaks people out and they leave immediately after. I think hearing their username right off the bat can sound freaky, "How did they see me?!".
Just be friendly to the nice ones and don't allow the mean ones to take over the chat. Make sure your surroundings (what you can see in frame on cam) look nice and not too cluttered.
You have to start somewhere in camming, you can never just make a TON of money consistently from the beginning, that's pretty rare. As long as you have something to offer, people will have tokens to give!
CB does not hand out new girl status for all to see.
I have gotten so dry with a lack of tokens in the past I pulled off all my clothes and went for it. I was lucky, members started popping in my room and tipping because they liked what they see. Now I won't do that. I have that love hate with CB. When it's good for me, it's really good! When it's bad, it's very bad... like 450 tokens in 45 minutes bad! That is bad! They get no sex show, but still for me that is bad.
Try what works for you. If you sit there are wait fully clothes many pass you by. You have to be very active on CB. It's much harder to work than MFC for me.
PS a good performer rewards her tippers with something, even after the show. Keep them coming back. :)
Good luck. I am redoing my profile again to offer rewards now for tippers over 500 tokens in one set. It works, pictures, couple vids. a short 10 minute password show etc. Guys are like children in a candy store. They want more, but we can give small things and they eat it up!
Ok last question from me ladies I promise! Lol. I see all these people with their fancy ass profiles and I just wanna know... how in the hell did they manage that??? The fanciest thing I've been able to do was make a bunny out of keyboard characters and that took me an hour.
Now I want to at least upload a nice background but CB won't let me do that, and their blogs only tell you how to change the color and font size (don't do that btw, it looks messy) So, CB girls, do any of you know how to upload a 'gif' background to your profile. Any tips are appreciated. Thank you!!
just html coding. It's pretty easy. If you want some help you can message me on how to make an uber basic profile with pics...or you can go back in this thread a bit.. I believe I posted it there
ALSO: Chaturbate is very slow to start I found. This is most likely because chaturbate has a community feel going on. So the guys who actually tip want to get to know who you are and if you're coming back before they start tipping. It took me about a month before I started getting decent traffic.
I tried CB out again for the hell of it and boy am I glad I did…I always had over 100 ppl in my room, highest was like 400 something, I made about 1500 tokens, got a guy to tip 273tkns to finish my first goal of me getting topless, plus i got 300+ new followers. Overall a really good day :-) I'll alternate CB and SM this week and see how it works out for me!
Hi girls, today one guyz asked me if i'm going open my fan club on CB. I check it out, but CB gives so little tks to us for that membership. If i have a lot of videos there, each for 100-200 tks, its not worth that they will pay me monthly only 50-100 monthly for each member. Because i think nobody will pay monthly more then 10 USD. What do u think? Are u using fanclub or make something different? How long this fanclub membership lasts for minimum months?
You can see earnings for each model by going to http://chaturbate.com/affiliates/stats/ on the studio account
I just finally realized why the "New Model" tag doesn't seem to matter on this site. I see several "new" models right now and they are mostly on page 3. Also when I read about the "New Model" tag they changed the time from 2 weeks down to 1 week so it's not going to be around long enough for you to really strike a new customer base.
Also I'm seeing tokens were cashed out but umm where do they go? I don't see anything about bank info or "add your card details here". Nada.
