Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
I've only been on CMD since December of last year but I don't get near as much shows as I was getting. Did Mark use to buy traffic but has quit buying the traffic now? I've also put the cmd tag in my tweets but he does not always retweet me, which makes no sense at all. Because the more we make, the more he gets? Weird that he wouldn't retweet us!!!

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
He never bought traffic as far as i know? A lot of girls used it and tweeted when they were online and i think most guys came via the models. The featuring spots and page placement were a lot fairer (and cheaper!) before, so more girls got a chance of being seen. Like Ava I used to make about $100 per day there give or take, then after the update nada. Up to 30 random new dudes adding me on skype per day but NO shows. I haven't logged in in months.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
I actually feel like the site's been significantly better this year than last year. As long as I stay logged in consistently I get multiple shows per day. I took a lot of time off this month and my earnings and placement have dipped a bit, but it's still a good side hustle. And I'm sure it will go right back up as soon as my schedule stabilizes again.
It also seems like top earners are making MORE than ever before. I was able to hit the monthly top 5 back in 2014 multiple times just making $1600/month. Now I've had several $1000 *weeks* and didn't even hit the top 5! So the site definitely isn't dying and there's still good money to be made.
Just wanted to throw out some positive info for any newbies who are looking into this site.

i suppose the site is good fr some and for some it doesnt

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Is it me or is CMD turning into Cam White Model Directory? I get that it's all about how much you bring in but it would be nice if Mark would scramble things up so ladies of other ethnic backgrounds can get exposure besides the sidebar categories. Even on SM you see several other ethnicities get some shine.
Also, too many people admitting that this site went down into the shitter for those of us who've been there since the site was up. Things are different, traffic is being put towards the new girls on the site as everyone isn't even getting enough exposure like before.
Mark has been good to me personally so I'll always keep it in the basket, but it's just not like it was before. And yes, he does pay for traffic, I know this personally because he told me.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
I just realized on here that a model has the same exact name as me on there. So bizarre... This chicka doesn't have a twitter or anything where she really uses it more. I have had 2 cam personas in 3 years now. Maybe i need to chill...
I do notice that majority of the girls are white. I see other races here and there while scrolling but I do notice a lot of new models I've never seen before. I don't fully commit to CMD since most guys are just timewasters and I've got other eggs going on. How are others doing lately on CMD?

That's really good to know. Perhaps it's worth another shot. I'd love to know your rates on there out if interest. I never charge less than 4.50 per min for indie and rarely get a bite lol.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Thats interesting Kortney I never noticed how "white" this site seems to be but ur definitely right , in fact I have to scroll down prettttttty far to find myself on there and feel like I never see any black women, latinas maybe...(im white)
As for traffic I personally love cmd but ive only been working it for a couple months. Its the only site ive made significant income on besides SM honestly. I add guys before they pay for shows tho, it doesnt bother me to have randos i never talked to in my contacts. I have 5 or 6 ads up and charge $3-5/min depending on what kind of show it is.
But yes the customers there r freaky fellas, lol I get so many ageplay shows and stuff like that which im fine with. But one guy asked me to watch him suffocate himself with a plastic bag...I was like o.0.....

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
I signed up recently and am happy so far, the times that I've logged in I've gotten at least a few shows. Lots of guys just sending me contact requests but that doesn't bother unless they try to just chat with me then I delete them.
-
Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
i get a lot of guys on my skype, but then they dont read my profile and keep asking for fucking me on cam...lol right, yes....hahahah
when i tell them i am a domme and dont take clothes off, they vanish. ha!

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
I had a new custie contact me via Twitter about doing a Skype show. I gave him my link for CMD.
When it came time to purchase the show, he told me that CMD rejected his debit card. He was confused saying the card worked everywhere else. :-\
I could have directed him to a couple of other places (sites) to pay, but I didn't because it had already taken over 2 weeks of back and forth messages to nail down the time with him.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thank in advance.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
We had a client say that exact thing to one of our models recently, and after him repeatedly saying CMD rejected his card she did the show via SkyPrivate as a pre-pay show. This was 3 weeks ago. Yesterday that show was charged back and left her ~$80 in the hole. Mark's cascade processing system rarely rejects 100% legit clients, which is why we were suspicious originally and held her payment for 2 days until SP gave us the go-ahead.
Keep in mind that Mark fights chargebacks hard when they happen and rarely does it get stuck to the model. This means he has a vested interest in multiple layers of security and blacklist checks when the client does the payment originally. With SkyPrivate prepay shows, they readily refund and let the chargeback through and pass it along to the model immediately - its not a huge issue for them (though it does hurt their processor relations and garner them big fees as well), so a few more things will get through.
Bottom line, if CMD won't process the payment, be very very careful and expect to lose that money if you go elsewhere.

Thank you Katy. That's what I thought. I've yet to have anyone rejected..well, anywhere, and certainly not CMD.
It sounded fishy when he said he'd buy the block of time I requested, then cut out early so I could have all the money, yet do a shortened show. I asked him why? He said because he thinks I'm too pretty. Lol! Yeah, right. Too funny buddy.::)

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
This site is a great site but you have to promote the hell out of it. If you are willing to put the time into it, it does pay off. You can also buy one of the ten top spots on the site to get more traffic and shows.
-
Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
For those of you who have Bid for top spots on the site, did it pay off to be on the top row, did you get a lot of skype requests that day or did things remain the same?
-
Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
the question is not for me as i dont pay for spot, but i receive tons of skype requests and only 2% become payers. just a heads up.

i was going to bid on a spot until they became to high,a few months ago you could get a spot for $20-$30. I did good on here as a newbie and got a lot of shows but now that I have been on it a while it is dying down. I do have a few good regs who still make it worth my time tho. I will say from experience when I was on the top couple rows I was bringing in about $400 a week on there so my guess is they are prob making that or more with the bid spots

It tends to level out over time. I keep anyone who has added me on my skype list until they give me a reason to remove them. Some guys want a show RIGHT NOW and if you're not available they'll find someone else. They probably add tons of girls. You keep them around, one day you'll probably catch them in a horny (and paying) mood, otherwise you might as well not exist. CMD is really good for well-paying regs, imo. I've gotten more serious clients on there than anywhere else.
Also, if you just joined, you might be inundated with requests. Happened to me, I had to put dudes on priority sequence. Like 10-20 dudes/day. Maybe 10% of them paid. Then after a few months it slowed to a trickle and I maybe get 2-5 requests from CMD clients a week. About half of them pay, though, so it's a lot more reliable traffic. The first few months were really crucial for me for building clientele- I pretty much did nothing but CMD for months. Now it's nice and steady with very little aggravation. I have my good regs and occasionally am surprised with new ones. I had this dude on my skype for a YEAR and recently he's become a very good ($$) sub. We never talked except briefly at the beginning. He just remembered me as being pleasant to talk to.
Basically, as annoying as CMD can be to start, it's worth it to spend a bit of time investing in the site. Make good ads, take good photos, be as charitable as you feel is worth it with your time. There are quite a few whales on there, so try and upsell yourself.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
I haven't gotten a single hit on this site in months. I use to at least get guys contacting me on skype even if they didn't pan out as customers. Now I don't even get that. I've got a bid in for a top spot but I have a feeling I'll be out bid.
Has anyone else noticed a decline in the number of hits they are getting?

I haven't had this issue on CMD yet but which other sites when they prepay for a certain length, I cut the feed when time is up if it was like a 10 minute show, literally end the call or unplug the webcam, don't care what I'm doing, or how close the guy is to cumming. And leave a message saying thanks for the great show! Your time is up, your welcome to go buy more time if you want to finish with me today. Now if they paid for like a 30 minute show, then I may let it go over by like 5 mins ish but letting them know their time is up so finish fast or I have to go because I was paid alot more money for it. Depends on my mood...

I got approved yesterday so can't be helpful on that. I got 5 contact requests and left skype and CMD open most of the day though... I feel like with a "NEW" model tag, I should have gotten more adds than that atleast but I dunno, I started high at $3.99 min unless they buy a 20 min show, I noticed most are priced at 2-3min.
I'm raising my skype prices across the board so I figured it was best to start high on a new site too. That and I get alot of taboo requests, etc. which I saw CMD allows as long as its clear its a roleplay. I might create a listing for vanilla shows thats like $2.50 a minute. Everything else though is going to be $4min unless they are buying 20 min blocks or more though. Alot goes into fetish shows, I have an extra kid now and I'm getting older, I don't have it in me to do crazy shows anymore that aren't even enough to fill up my gas tank.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
The first couple of months I did ok on there. But lately it's tumble weeds for me. Not even any guys adding me to Skype. And what really sucks is that I've had guys who got multiple shows from me become time wasters. I had one guy ask me today what is going on w CMD because he said there's never as many models logged in anymore. I haven't been on there very long and I never check to see how many girls are logged on so I don't know if that's accurate or not.
-
Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
the site is so full of girls that this is why no one finds me....lol

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
I placed a bid on there and will let you guys know how I do. If its worth it
35 aint shit if that brings in bigger money. Ill pay to play :)
I haven't been on CMD for over a year and not getting hit right now
Hopefully it will draw in new and let old know Im back for cam
(I think he had to refresh my profile bc my listings were not showing up.)
as long as I was logged on and taking shows I did good there
