Which sites accept applications from Australian residents ?
Hey everyone, whilst I'm not a total newb (I'm a former SW member (GoldCoastGirl)) I retired from the industry awhile ago to pursue another business (and other adventures).
None the less, I've been thinking of returning to the webcam world... I did a stint via IMLIVE way back when (and I mean waaaay back).
My biggest question: Which sites accept applications from Australian residents ? Also which sites pay online in some way not via bank cheque ?
I remember Niteflirt paying me waaaay back when and I lost a chunk through bank fees processing it :( whereas IMLIVE gave me some sort of online account where I could transfer/withdraw funds into my actual bank account.
Re: Which sites accept applications from Australian residents ?
Almost all of them do! I can't think of any who do not.
Re: Which sites accept applications from Australian residents ?
I have heard that SM isn't a good site in Australia because the download/upload speeds are very slow. You may be in an area that does have higher speeds available but I have heard from quite a few people that Australia has very slow internet lol. You might have problems with the HD encoder but its always worth a try, right ;)
Re: Which sites accept applications from Australian residents ?
Yes, that is another aspect to which site would be best because unfortunately the internet here in Australia isn't up to scratch like it is in the USA.
Thus I need sites that not only accept Australian residents for models, pay online in some form where I can then withdraw funds into my actual bank account AND take into account the fact that Australia doesn't have the best internet speeds....
So... MFC ? Would that be "do-able" ? I read a few threads where IMLIVE isn't so great because of charge-backs... ?
Re: Which sites accept applications from Australian residents ?
How bad can Australian internet be? I'm in Scotland and until recently I had an upload speed of 0.37. It didn't stop me. Now I have 0.92 (wow!) and I'm splitting.
Re: Which sites accept applications from Australian residents ?
I just did a test on my home connection:
Your line speed is 35.46 Mbps (35464 kbps).
Your download speed is 4.33 MB/s (4433 KB/s).
Not devastate-ly bad however it isn't the best by far...
Re: Which sites accept applications from Australian residents ?
My upload speed is 89ish. I'm not doing brilliantly with it because my laptop needs replacing too, but I get by (sometimes without audio but what can ya do). You could try out two sites and see which is the best fit for you. Try SM and MFC, if the encoder gives you problems just stick with MFC, or if MFC doesn't fit for whatever reason stick w/ SM.
Most camsites pay online (with payoneer global transfer as a middle-man) so you're golden in that respect.
Re: Which sites accept applications from Australian residents ?
Most sites will accept your application. As for payment you can try Payoneer. There's an option to have it sent from the card to your bank account if you choose.
Re: Which sites accept applications from Australian residents ?
Thank you everyone :) I seriously thought being in Aust. I might be at a disadvantage as whilst IMLIVE accepted me last time I knew ladies waaaaaay back then (aussie ladies) whom had issues with their applications. I'll check out MFC first... and as has been mentioned... if not my style.. try SM... and see how I go :)
Re: Which sites accept applications from Australian residents ?
That's not bad at all. What is your upload though? That's the most important for streaming.
I have a customer who lives in Australia and the best speed he was able to get in his location was 10 mbps with 1 upload.
