I got some fun guys on CMD last night, I'm going to start promoting this site harder on Tumblr. Mark made it sound like I wasn't getting shit, but compared to SM...much better.
*EDIT- yep it is a scammer*
There is someone under the name "cammodeldirectory" on Skype messaging me, is this actually Mark? I have another SN for him
So- Direct deposit says Tuesday, but I do not see it. How long should I wait before messaging CMD? When does it hit your account usually?
So- I had this guy wanting a fetish show, but his Skype name was nearly the same as an email address on the crooked client list. I blocked him, and then he starts emailing me from the very same email on the list. I was a bit shocked, and told him he why he was blocked. Apparently we are not to tell that to the client (which makes sense). It turns out it was a mistake somehow, and he was removed from the list. I was a little taken aback that someone who's email is on the crooked list could still be a member of the site and contact me via email. Maybe it is something we as models can suggest as an improvement in the future.
Just a question for you ladies- how do you handle rollover time? A strict 'none of it' policy or do you try to be flexible?
A lot of people don't allow any rollover minutes, and that's completely understandable. If you decide to do that, make sure it's VERY clear ahead of time so they can't get too pissy about it.
I personally would rather have guys buy a larger chunk of time rather than "play it safe" in case they don't last that long, so I do allow rollovers. BUT I have a limit to them. The shortest shows I offer are 5 minutes, so if they have less than 5 minutes remaining they'll have to add that to a new show.
I also don't schedule shows at all. If they want to continue the show another day, they have to work around my schedule.
I don't allow rollover minutes. If the customer has to leave early or he "finishes" early, then his remaining minutes are lost. If I had to leave early, then I would credit him for the next time, but that's never happened so far though.
I no longer sell pre-paid future shows further out than the current day. Honoring rollover minutes is like selling future minutes, so that's why I don't do it. Pre-paid shows for the next day and beyond never works out for me because my cam situation is unreliable. I pre-sold shows in the past and came to severely regret it, so I really, really don't like having to honor future minutes. One time I sold a ton of pre-paid shows to a customer (on KinkLive) that started making demands for things I don't do such as group camming with another girl, sex acts I don't do, 5 minute cum shows, etc. It was a constant problem dealing with his pushiness, so I don't like being put in a position where "firing" a customer is a problem.
Im there for over a month now and never got a show from there. Might as well not go online at all. Now 3 days ago someone bought my video for $5, and thats it. Its just me or the site is slow?
I have 5 listings but i dont do nude shows, my shows are strictly domme without nudity. I had that written on my profile and then i saw that no one pmmed me, once ive taken this info out, pms started to come regularly again. This was yesterday. I didnt do any shows on there yet, coz i couldnt cam, but i will try on monday night.I had one guy willing a domme show even knowing i dont get naked, so maybe its a fluke....lol
I've pretty much given up on this site. All I get are pedos, beastiality guys and other weirdos. Other than that I've had like 2 shows from there, everyone else just adds me and never books a show and sometimes never talks to me at all.
OMG, yes, the sme has happened to me. Many added me and didnt even talk or booked a show at all the first day i got listed. I had like 10 guys adding me, only few asked abt a show and im not really into spreadig my money all over the internet. Like few bucks here, few buckes there. Im working mainly on aw and my site.
I've gotten 1 show from here in 6 weeks and that was from someone who has done shows with me before. I have 5 listings and they're hardly getting any hits at all once I dropped off the new model list. Literally under single digits for all 5 combined during a whole week. I think he's got it set up that way intentionally in order to make ladies bid on preferred placement.
How do you get CMD to promote you on Twitter? I see lot's of rt's and "check out" so & so's type of posts but I've never gotten him to do that for me and I tag his page everytime I do a post about being on CMD.
I've gotten a few shows here, but I've found the only time I do get a show is if I'm logged in, set to online, and if I respond to them as soon as they add me on skype - I dont add anyone until we actually have a show paid for, that way they can't call me whenever, cuz that's annoying, but as soon as I get a request, I respond asking if they want a show or a custom video and sometimes they say yes, sometimes they say nothing, but I have had a couple shows from that site. I do wish it had more traffic, cuz I love the higher payout and Skype is so much more reliable than, say, SM's platform.
Used to be great and with loads of traffic then mark ruined it. I think he must make more off the featured listing sales than he did on his % for each camshow sold. It's basically just a money making gig for him now, which is sad as it used to be a good site :(
Amen! I missed the old layout that had daily bump. I used to get $100+ a day when I worked. Saturday I was planning to do bidding and I saw it was $52 for the 10th spot. Majority of people who contact me are time wasters compared to three years ago. This is just another example to never depend on one or two sites.
That makes me sad. :( Why would Mark do that? I thought the whole point of this damned site was to make it BETTER for cam girls in the industry, but now another dude just making money off of us.... Fucking lame. Makes me not want to work this site. I'll never bid for a spot cuz its way too expensive, I dont make that much off his site to justify that. Just makes me angry that it's always gotta go this route.
I actually get really good business from the site and can usually guarantee to get at least 2 shows every time I log in. If I stayed logged in enough daily, I probably could've made a lot more by now. I would say just make sure you stay logged in the whole time you're online and take any show you're willing to do! Every show boosts your placements. I've never bid for a top spot, and still do well with it.
For me, skyprivate sucks and I barely get good business from there, but CMD is great minus the freaks on the site who want you to do gross stuff. I just block them though :/
