What is "Caught on Cam" on IMLive that we can be paid for?
I got my account fixed up and if I get back on there, I'm charging no less than 4.80 a minute, maybe even 5.80 considering all my shows are closed 1-on-1 and I do outcalls. The guys on IMLIVE are so cheap but on SM, the guys don't complain about paying me $5.99 + a minute. Maybe I'll find some pay piggies but my target group is not the cheapos!
Caught on cam was a feature where the guests could record your show and share it with the other members, and you got paid when everyone viewed the video. They could also take still shots, but we werent paid for those. I believe the feature has been discontinued though...
yeah I think so too, I havent been able to locate caught on cam any place on the member page. I thought it was just my eyes or something. guys can still record you and you get paid when they watch a video they recorded. You will see "guest recorded session" in your earnings.
ah, okay, thanks.
I've been reading more about IMLive on SW and finding out about happy hour and being paid.
Now, I'm averaging about $23 an hour (this may go down today because I'm making myself stay on cam but it's been really slow traffic today.)
I'm wondering-- how much money can you pull in doing Happy Hours? because you make what, like ten to twenty five cents per gift? and you're
basically doing a toy show or whatever during your time there since they don't want you just chatting.
how does this work and is it worthwhile more often than not? :)
today sucked for me. I think I spent 6 hours on and only made $82? only was on IMLive and MGF.
Happy Hour is a good way to meet new members. They get free HH bonus credits when they buy regular credits, so they will try a "new to them" face, or someone they have admired but not gone private with.
The "gifts" as they are called in HH, actually begin at $5, so the lowest amount you can get would be $1.50 @ 30%. They give us now a $6 flat hourly rate. If you get one gift during all of your HH, IML kicks in $4.50 toward that $6 flat fee. If you make over $6 in gifts during your HH, then IML doesnt give you any of that flat fee $6. I've heard different accounts regarding the amount of gifts received. Some people say they get usually get none. IDK, I did a quick HH and got a gift. Maybe asking for them helps.
As far as what to do during HH, most guys are happy if you are just responsive to them and get to know their likes or whstever. They can direct only a couple minutes then its next director. If they like you, they may take you private later...next guy, I start over basically. But yeah, a toyshow works. If they want you to do things you dont want to do & don't offer out of HH, just say no, if they dont like it, throw them out, (I think you can throw 3 an hour), most are cool with the no and move on.
I think is better to not concentrate on the amount of HH gifts you can make because that fluctuates a lot and its better to use HH (or happy 15 minutes lol) as a way to meet new members.
How long does it take to be approved on ImLive? It says up to 48 hours on their site... but how long does it actually take?
I wonder if I email them letting them know that I have my paperwork in order... if I will get a bitchy email back...
EDIT to update: So no bitchy email back, my account didn't get approved because my passport didnt have all 4 corners showing. Then I fixed it. Now they say it's not clear enough to read. So I fixed it by taking the pic with my phone to minimize the glare. Then resized to fit their upload size max. Waiting again....
Check the page with all the paper work steps to see if they rejected a part of your application?
Alot of people would be happy with that income.I know cam models are used to making 100s a day, but so many people are working for min wage these days. I feel like we should be grateful to have this kind of income coming in. Millions out of work,etc. If you work a job for 8 bucks an hour in 8 hrs thats only 64.00 before taxes, so I think this is amazing to be able to make this amount. You made almost 14 an hour,not bad I say. Awesome job !
LOL Im just gonna sit on 0
don't get me wrong...I totally want to make money today but I'm not all psyched about it. I'm in a good mood on cam but I'm also like, eh, they're not spending so I'm going to keep the window open and do internet stuff or read. I figure this way I'm still "winning" because it's eating up the required free time in chat.
I think I'm up to 46 hours from the last 12 days (though I did do maybe 3-5 hours in the few days preceeding that) and then this past spring which was the last time I used IMLive, I'd done maybe 16 hours. anyway, for this pay period it says I've been on 47 hours but then when I look at how much time I've done in free chat it says that I have a total of 48.22 hours done in free chat. so.....say I've done 66 hours total on IMLive...I'm not sure I've entertained for 18 hours of that leaving me only 48 hours in free chat.
I kind of think they're shorting me on my free time....has anyone had that happen to them?
Not sure what to make of it, but it made me think, had the system fully updated your times when you last checked it? It updates once after a while, but then a while later, it updates yet again..and I know, kind of makes it hard to know what our true hours online are when we need to know exactly, and quickly. Hang in there on your required hours, you will get it done.
Well, I noticed that it only shows how many hours you have completed. But I also feel that they've skimmped me on hours because I've had this account since 08' and though I haven't cammed very long each time, you'd think I've done more than like, 64 hours. I would take a screen shot and go from there. I notice that I'll split cam for like, 6-8 hours and it will say I was only in free for 3 or so hours when clearly it's been like 7.
I feel like the system is pretty accurate. the time will go by fast in flc. Just act like you're getting paid for it lol once you're through with the required time, you will be more relaxed, not feeling forced. You know, just go about you way and do what you do. I know its hard to sit there all day but it will be over soon. One thing I noticed is when I talk about real live stuff, like hobbies, what Im up to, plans for the weekend etc. I can fish out more potential paying guys, then when the ones who always ask show this, show that. personality gets you more .. best wishes to you
Is there a specific place to look in one's IML account to see how many hours of free chat are remaining, as well as how many minutes of intro period are left? I looked and looked and I feel totally stupid for not seeing it.
I logged in today for the first time, and it was a bit confusing. Guys did not throw themselves at me for privates, even at 98 cents a minute. Perhaps time of day wasn't ideal? (3-4 pm EST) I do ok generally on SM for being new at this, and during LJ intro period I felt like wolves were eating me alive. I got about 10 min from one guy, and 8 minutes from another so far. This I can see from the earnings page, but I do not see any other link that shows me what I've done total of intro period so far.
I'm a bit scared that this might turn into an experience similar to LJ where it took me a year to reach payout (my first 100 dollars there), with me logging in now and then and wasting a lot of time in free chat, but I will give IML a fair chance, unlike LJ, where I've always been put off by their many rules and requirements.
Also, what browser do you feel works best with IML? Seemed a bit laggy with firefox, so I tried chrome, but then chrome seemed kinda laggy too. Generally I find chrome to be a much more resource hungry browser during my off cam browsing times.
^ Not sure about the 90 minute intro but here's the FLVC counter:

IML traffic can be kind of funny. I can sit in free chat for an hour with tumbleweeds in my room then barely get a break for hours. You just have to wait it out or try again later. I've heard that Firefox works better with IML but I don't notice a difference so I usually use Chrome.
Pay to jump into a hotspot, I do and it always helps. If I pay, I make my ass SIT there to earn back all that plus some.
Where do we go to enable phones? a lot of guys are asking me about this. Like on SM, where we can take calls from guys, I think we can do the same on IML, right?
And yes, a LOT of cheapos. I've had them bitch and moan about $3.80/min for a personalized sex show-fucking insane!
