Camming isn't working for me...
The most I've ever earned is forty dollars a week with hours and hours of work. I tried signing up for niteflirt but they need my credit card to verify my age? Don't care how many girls have done this I refuse to do that. Are there any other good phone sex hotlines or other online ways for me to earn money? All I need is atleast 100$ a week. Thanks ): :(
Re: Camming isn't working for me...
How many hours is "hours and hours"? Do you always go in at the same time? If so, have you tried different times?
What camsite are you using? Have you tried different ones?
Hardware, lighting etc all good?
There's so many things to consider...
Re: Camming isn't working for me...
What sites are you on? Try streamate.
Re: Camming isn't working for me...
Niteflirt is totally legit. If you don't want to give them a credit card for whatever reason, just get a throw away card from Walmart or a drug store. (you'll probably want about ten bucks on it for bidding so, keep that in mind.)
If you're a member of triple a, they also sell a prepaid card.
Re: Camming isn't working for me...
Really?
Someone just posted this exact same thread a week ago.
There's no need to reinvent the wheel, here. Can these threads be merged, please?
Re: Camming isn't working for me...
For sure look at that other thread. Lots of good info
If you want to try camming still, maybe skim the official (whatever site you're on) thread? read it allll nd try to get some good info!
Re: Camming isn't working for me...
About 20 a week. Well I had a 720 p webcam which wasn't the best quality and I just went and bought a 1080 100$ cam lastnight. And it's hard doing different hours with school and stuff. I've had the best luck with imlive. I have a streammate account but as soon as someone comes into my room they leave? After I nicely greet them and everything. Every single one. I mean I'm not a bad looking girl not to sound conceited but this is really getting me down. /: hopefully I'll have better luck with my much better cam.

The better cam will likely help you a LOT.
Hmm, 20 hours should net you way more than that. ImLive sucks for me but I guess it works for some. I can be on there all day and not make a dime so I just run it in the background with free chat off. I can't count on that site to pay bills so it's only extra $ for me.
If you were on Streamate for hours and every guy just left, then there is definitely something wrong. When that has happened to me in the past there was somethning wrong with my internet connection, encoder was set wrong or my computer needed shut completely down and turned back on to reboot everything and start fresh. Check your encoder settings very carefully and be sure something didn't changed by accident. (You are using the encoder, right? If not give it a try).
Re: Camming isn't working for me...
ManyRoses wrote a great 'camgirl checklist' a while back that you may find useful. It's located here:
one of the things she mentions is having a trusted friend or peer check your cam room while you're streaming and based on the fact that you had traffic bouce for 4 hours straight on sm I'd def suspect that something was wonky with your feed
hope it helps.

How do you turn free chat off in iml?

You need to work a certain amount of hours (120 hrs, I believe) before you can turn off free chat.
yes its 120 hours just keep at it. =)

Neon, you need to re-read all of the threads on SW and make notes. Also you need to even read things that the dancers, escorts, and other cam models write on here as well. As far as phone work, it depends on what you want to do and how far are you willing to go. You need to write down all of the adult jobs you are willing to do including being a booker, erotica writer, and etc. I mean you can make money doing anything from selling sex toys to writing erotica. It is really up to you, Neonsugar :) Also you can try the non-vanilla jobs as well like being a customer service rep for 10-20 dollars per hour :)
Re: Camming isn't working for me...
I understand where is coming from. There are some women in this business for example who put other camgirls down. I feel there is a huge difference between constructive criticism and just plain hate. People are going to hate but on the filp side they can't take constructive criticism or try to understand people's various opinions.
Re: Camming isn't working for me...
I'm not sure how they are doing it now. When I signed up years ago, free chat was optional. Then they started to make it mandatory for NEW models, in that you HAVE to do XXX hours of free chat before you get the option to turn it off (which may be your case) If those guys are really bugging you, just turn off your mic if you can. Type it all out and tell them you have sound in private. Ignore all the stupid fucking & jiggling boobs emoticons and other dumb requests.

Lexiryder, you will have haters in every business and adult industry has tons of women who are catty. However, I feel that women in the adult industry for the most part are quite helpful and encourage each other a lot more than in the vanilla world. Constructive criticism is a great thing the adult world and I believe Stripper Web offers ladies and gentlemen in the adult industry plenty of help. :)

Hanks for the help guys. I tried some of your tips, I spent the last 4 hours and I made $1.50 and didn't have a single private. I made $30 on my first day... This is like my 12th and I think I am thoroughly discouraged. All 30 tips were from the same guy, my mod. Tons of Greys (using chaturbate) but I think at most I got 50 guys in so I am on like he last page!!! I don't know how to get into my room without giving to much. I am going go get a new cam soon to see I that helps but I know ocean do better because I have before, but I had "new" status then...

token sites are a really hard hustle you dont make a lot if anything when u first start out . these guys wont give you jack shit unless they feel they know you and like you that takes time. time that ur not giving it . if camming is all ur doing right now and u want to stick to token sites then u need another job a vanilla side job multiple other sites get into clips PSO work dont relay on just one site and really understand what youve gotten urself into the nature of the buisness read up on the hustle tips and threads. ur probably not doing anything wrong just takes time a lot of girls make a lot when they first start out to these guys ur like a shiny new toy they all want to play with uve been unboxed and used time for a new angle or a new job .
