Question for LiveJasmin performers
I want to cam on there but another performer said they heard the performers are never paid on time. I was wondering what your experience is with payments. I personally like the rules on there and that they expect you to always have hair and make-up done and dress nice. That's what I am into anyways. Thanks

Im always paid early, I get a paper check, never had an issue with getting paid. They do withhold your first check so for the first 5 weeks,give or take a couple days, your wont get paid. Its just like a regular square job your a pay period behind. If your in the mind frame of I worked 1-15th so I should get paid on the 18th then yes you will get paid very late.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
I got paid via Payoneer. It was always in time.
They just hold the money for one month, like said above. So your payment from April 1th - 15th will arrive at May 17th.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
I worked with LJ back in '10, I used payoneer as well, and it wasn't ever early...but it sure was on time. I'm about to sign up with them to do a certain fetish that does really well over there. And I agree with you too, I like that appearance is important to them.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
Thank you all for your answers. I am fine with being paid a few weeks later for the first payment, that's pretty normal.

They say they pay on the 10th and the 25th, but I always get my direct deposit around the 5th and the 20th. I've never had it go past the 10th or the 25th, it's always been early.
Also, some people have said you have to make $100 in a single pay period to be paid, which is not accurate. Once you accumulate $100 you are paid the following period.
This is how the pay period runs regardless if you are new or not.
Pay period 1 runs the 1st-15th
Pay period 2 runs the 16th-31st
You are paid for pay period 1 on the 10th of the following month.
You are paid for pay period 2 on the 25th of the following month.
So for example this current pay period of April 16-30 will pay on May 25th (or sooner).

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
Thank you Sarah for the info. There's nothing wrong with the way they pay to me at all.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
Back in 2010/ 2011 they used to pay models after they accumulated $100 in a pay period, i had this issue myself but i reckon they changed this rule in between, still they wont approve a profile pic for me (taken with the webcam), i wanted to go back but i dont like their rules & the way they cut earnings % now for various reasons. Some people might find the site lucrative, i have mixed feelings about them.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
For me it's about structure. I do better when sites have rules for some reason. I loved Streamate but Gold shows scare me and I am not into flashing in free chat. LJ is the largest cam site out of all of them if you look them up they make bank. I know the rules seem harsh but their rules were the same rules almost all the cam sites had a few years back. I think they just want to keep it classy and nice.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
^^^ Of course is good to have rules but when sites abuse the rules is no fun anymore, yes they might have the highest ranking but most of the traffic there is free traffic not paid traffic. Plus the fees u can charge per minute, i was working $2.99/min & they complained it's too much lol. Also they fine models with 5 dollars per 'infraction' for various reasons (if u leave cam view for a few seconds or eat something or so).
They rate the video stream & sound quality & if they not happy with it they cut 5% off ur earnings so u end up with 25%, what site does this?! I consider members should decide if a girl is worth his money, if he likes her cam stream or sound NOT the site but they do everything to take money out models pocket some like imlive does. Plus they have chargebacks. As i said, some models might find site lucrative but not all of them, i know i am picky & dont like these shady practices. Good luck if u decide to work there.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
If what Alice said is still in effect, that just seems a bit harsh. I know you're always glammed up and appreciate a site like that, but you can't step off camera? That's a bit much.
-
Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
I've had many infractions and never been fined for one. Mostly for leaving the cam view because I forgot to sign off before I stepped away, once for exchanging information because the guy gave me his phone number.
You cannot leave the cam view, you have to just stop streaming if you want to leave the camera view. Starting and stopping your stream is really quick though, so it's not too big of a deal.
They let you charge up to $4.99 now.
I've only had a couple minor chargebacks, less than $2 each.
I had my percentage cut by 5% because when they happened to check mine, I had my camera at a low angle only showing my chest. They docked me for "disadvantageous camera angle". I contact live chat support the next day and they immediately put me back to the normal percentage. I have yet to have it docked again.
Jane I know you have done professional shoots before so you shouldn't have a problem getting a profile picture approved. They do have high standards for their streams but it's to weed out those streams that just sit there sleeping or in a messy room with dark lighting and models who don't give a crap. I personally wish more sites had higher standards.
Try it out for yourself before you write it off. I don't imagine you would have too much trouble there, Jane. :)

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
I worked LJ way back. I have to be honest, I have been fined for stepping out of cam site to put on a high heel, cam feed too slow, cam feed too grainy, my dog once passed by on cam, AND GUESTS turning me in for banning them! LJ said I was abusing the ban button! Really, it's all on their site to read, don't abuse the ban option.
I hate hate hate that site. I made great money back in the day but got so tired of tossing them nickles and dimes for every wrong (which wow talk about harsh on a performer) move. Audio is messed up tonight... better re-log! Fuck you.
I quit! Enough of their BS. Spam is the worst their too. OH if a guest says he/she is underage you BETTER ban. Which is common sense for us to do anyway. But damn chat moved so damn fast you can't read it all at times! That will cost ya too!

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
Forgot to add. GEO BLOCKING does not work! LJ has many members who know how to get around this! Also IF you let your performer name sit idle for a month or more it CAN be stolen and used by some ass who uses it in other performer rooms! I have screen shots of all this crap.
Admin is not easy to work with, and if you have a major problem good luck... they have a window that says ALL ADMINS ARE BUSY AT THIS TIME, please wait! Really!?
I am serious that site is where I had a man arrested out of Aus. Due to online stalking. I lost after many of his court dates due to him saying many people in his home used his computer.... really don't use a password to sign in and out now? OH. MY. GOD.
I hate that site. I am sure I can think of more issues. LJ is the site IF you want to see a performer have a melt down... you're there.
Ban FEATURE does NOT work! Warning... I can prove it... IT does not work.
So, if you just do your job, walk that fine line, don't piss off any customer you may be fine.
Also other performers CAN sign up and rate you!!!!
Beware when signing with them. I speak the truth that can be backed up with screen shots saved from court as well as a live feed from a friend who puts up with the members shit just for the money.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
That site has changed a lot from what I hear. I would rather work for a site with standards than deal with sites that can't enforce their own rules. LJ follows the old camming rules and it works for them. They are number 1 in camming sites traffic and financially. I believe that's because they don't allow nudity in free chat which does take away from the point of most cam sites. I can log onto most cam sites and watch for free a chick fuck herself in free chat and I am not referring to the token sites.

Jane go ahead, i'm really curious on your adventure on this site, please update.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
This thread is just what I needed. I've been joined up since January but haven't logged on yet. I even joined up back in 2007 and let my account lapse. I'm always leaving cam view for various reasons and don't like using audio all the time. Splitting to many sites could make my video feed a bit rough at times too.... Fines are bad enough, but having an actual percentage pay deduction for audio and video is not cool. That could amount to a lot of money on a good month... and I'll use whatever cam angle I want to use - thank you very much. I don't need a site to dictate that to me.
I'll give them a miss for now and keep SM as my main site. I predict that their profits are going to plummet if they don't start treating models with more respect (and probably are already as they continue to send me promotional emails in an effort to get me to work harder). I've seen sites go downhill before because of too many rules - and they had to ease off. There's too much competition around now to stick to archaic practices in this business. If they become model friendly in the future I'll try them.

I wish the site has changed a lot. They have not, same admins working from home, same problems. I almost went back a month or so ago due to new management. I was chatting with support about my images and he spammed the shit out of me with their damn Wiki over and over! What is he like 16? I mean really. I have reported him, kept the screen shot and LJ said I can have all my names (have 3) and shit taken down IF I send my ID, fuck no! So I told him the many reasons why, he said yes I pulled your folder...lol, so they are going to allow me just to log on show it's me and take all my shit down.
My room was shown how to open windows on LJ and not get banned! I would never do this, ever! But an infamous spammer showed my room one night how, goes by RBG.. all performers know him who have been there over 2 years. Bad news! Nothing has changed. My only luck was making it to number 1 because I had no disability yet, and working many hours weekly while having a very fast chat room. Spammers don't want to bother with fast chat, they fear their words won't be seen.
But not so the case with a dudes that does not ban.
They surely are not the number one site, but number one for traffic indeed due to the many guests they get on the site. They spam everything that's why! Members have left due to LJ dropping Top Member status for them.
I am serious that site needs a re-haul. Nothing has changed. Get into Girl Cat. and quickly get busy so chat runs fast. Also the chargebacks are there. Sad when a member can send a fuckin surprise worth some change to us and then do a chargeback. Still going on. I visit my friend who works the site 5 days a week only because this is her first site ever, and she is non nude, but the shit she has gone through with the same stalker and the guests that don't ban (members too) I wonder if it's worth it to her anymore. She says she is burning out, I hope soon and on to a site that has support that cares. Also, American.... haha. They seem not to like Americans, site is a joke.
And like Tropo says she gets their emails, so do I while I left them. I told them stop spamming my mail, I still get their emails. I delete and move on.
When/if the site ever changes, get the many glitches out! I may go back, it was good money, but not worth all the shit you have to go through. LJ does admit they had a not so good admin. He is gone, I only wonder what damage was done and if this had anything to do with my online stalker who is on LJ. He fucking knew everything about me, included posting my home address on the site and MY WALL! Sick bastard.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
Since I sound harsh about LJ, I do with all due respect wish Jane the best of luck there. Many many models do well and never have issues I am sure.
I have had many bad experiences with LJ and all that I said here has to do with me, another performer I know well and a few others I know who left LJ.
It was a tough few years for me there, I admit.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
I used to like Livejasmin, still there are aspects from Livejasmin that I do like, like the payment structure, I mean the more you make, the higher is the percentage you get. Payment was always on time (even earlier) and chargebacks were never a problem, I only had one, and then I was protected. I also like the fact that peepers are charged 1 credit for taking a look and nudity in free chat is deffinitely not allowed. Thatīs it...I think there isnīt much positive about Livejasmin.
This was my first site, and I even opened a thread comparing both sites (Livejasmin and Streamate) I was trying to decide to stick with. Now that I worked a while in both sites I can say that isnīt worth it for me. I donīt like the lack of freedom, I like to run my room whatever I like, I donīt think any camsite should tell us what to do, how to dress, if using audio or not, how to point the camera, how to deal with customers, when is ok to use the ban function, etc. Obviously, Iīm not saying that is hasnīt to be any rule, Iīm ok with rules as long they donīt interfere with my own way to run my room... Also customers that chooses me do it because Iīm a normal girl, not a proffesional top model, and many customers like the next door girl type, so I donīt see the point that professional looking pictures be mandatory.
The other thing I donīt like about Livejasmin is customers...theyīre usually cheap, demanding, they talk for ages before going private (this might be because I was really inexperienced dealing with customers by then, even though I logged in for a few minutes a short time ago and nothing seemed to changed), and I feel like Livejasmin empower rudness and freeloading with their banning policies and punish us for their bad behaviour...when I started on Streamate, I thought it was the paradise regarding customers, go figure!! LOL
Finally, I have the best connection I can get in my area, but is not enough and I canīt compete with large studios, and it seems to me (just a personal opinion) that a few girls make bank and the rest make peanuts, but I guess this applies to many sites.
Anyway, it might not work for me, but it sure works for others, so you never know until you give it a try.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
This is what I mean to be careful about LJ. So Jane wants to work on LJ, I know she will do well.
This thread reminded me that as of two weeks ago I asked for my accounts to be closed on LJ. I have the email saying I could log in and that would work, call on admin and tell him "here I am, take down my accounts" crap. But NO, this did not work with TWO admins I tried this with today. Now I need to send the email to their support email... wtf it's the same damn people. So, One admin said your pix are good, what's wrong? All I could do was laugh while I typed, and he said we will fix all this come back to work here, don't leave. Really?
If other ladies here are going to give it a shot, maybe I will again to bring in my months quota needed to live and if the shit starts again with ALL the problems I had, get out!
Funny how life is constantly changing for us.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
This can apply to many sites tho. Streamate has cam performers that stalk each other and make social media pages on each other to bash. Crazy stalkers are anywhere online, not just LJ. Sadly no cam site is perfect and never will be.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
I'm being 100% honest about my experience with LiveJasmin...
Is it the best site in the world? Probably not.
Could an established and professional cam model who gives a damn make money on there? I'm confident they could. This isn't to say that everyone else is unestablished or unprofessional or doesn't give a damn.... but the site does have much higher standards than all the other popular cam sites, it's not an "easy" site to work with because of their higher standards and requirements, and the customers that spend money seem to have higher standards as well. If you expect to just half assed throw up some cam pics and not have the means to have a great connection and all of that, don't bother. If you want to be able to lay around waiting on people to enter your room, eat food and watch TV while you wait, overall be lazy on cam, don't bother.
I seriously have very little issue with the site and I do make money on there. I am kinda confused as to some of the experiences being shared on here..... I've not had any of these types of experiences at all, nothing close to it and I've been there over a year now.
Being American, most guys are EXCITED to find me on there as an American model, because there just isn't that many Americans on the site. They LOVE it when they find that one American girl among all the rest, and they spend because of it.
But again, this is just MY experience, you never know until you try it out.

Re: Question for LiveJasmin performers
Let me clarify my posts here. LJ is known to be the most (or was) spammed and rude site out there. Stalkers, sure. LJ refused to help saying they could not give the IP to the authorites, or block the stalkers IP due to blocking others by accident as well. I have emails I have saved that go back almost 2 years from support. They will make our region another region so the stalker could not find us, never happened, or a failed attempt. I mean this guy has threatened our lives! And, that is just the start of what he has done to us on LJ. Odd, he blocks on all other sites, but LJ was unable to block him, Hm.
Yes other performers are on most othetr sites hating and rating 1 star. However LJ seemed to have the most childish caddy performers who would talk shit about you in their room asking members to go to your room and talk shit about you. And the members would do it! And not ban!
There is indeed fantastic money to be made on Lj. I had no disability while working LJ as my primary site. I was number 1 in two categories and making great money!
But given all the shit I went through I found it impossible to work with a clear head and worry. This does reflect on my earnings.
If I want to dress down on cam instead of getting all dolled up, I should be able too. I should not be told what cam to use to work their site. I should not be told I can not take a sip of soda on cam while everyone else is drinking getting smashed or even at times flashing customers in free chat. My fucking dog barks and I had an email from support, really? Life happens even when we work. I can go on and on, and prove what I put out here, just ask me models on here who are regulars, I will show you what hell I have gone through.
Funny though that it is. I was talking with a very popular performer in HF who said things are slowly improving. She has learned to ignore her full real name and address when it goes through her chat. Yes, that's a big improvement, lol. Her money is there, and she needs the job. I did too but you keep coming into my room telling people my full name and address that gets scary. I had to take action.
Also,I did have a few admins who had stuck it out with me. It seems as though they got tired of the crap as did I. They could not ban out this stalker, they said it seems as though he was resetting his router.
I do hope LJ gets better in the near future. I had many regulars on that site who never found me, they are good money. I would go back IF I could get that ass who finds it fun to stalk and harass performers off the site. He was the biggest problem. But time will tell.
These are my experiences on LJ, anything is possible in this world. I went through hell.
