^^ Seriously, look at the success of SM. The front page has top models of all sizes, shapes, fetishes and races. That's the one thing that SM has going for it in a big way. We all know that our customers have the weirdest tastes and requests. And the ones that do will pay respectfully and very highly to get their specific fetish met. They make the best customer. To turn those guys away is just throwing money away. Look at Chaturbate as well, also a token site with all kinds of models that do very well! Come on FWC, don't be a clone of MFC, do your own thang.

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
Well...I was going to give it a go, but not so sure anymore. I think it's awful that you get rejected because your pregnant, or your to big. I think I will pass. Thanks Jane for trying

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
I still haven't tried it out but I think I'm going to today. I do want to know if the studio or site itself frowns upon drinking though? When I work token sites I make a lot by selling shots, what I usually do is put my room topic something like buy me a shot for 75 tokens and get a free boob or ass flash. Some days I have to have a side of something that looks like the rum I drink cause I get so many requests for shots at once and I can't handle that much, haha, so I do pretty well with this hustle and want to make sure this is ok for this studio and site.

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
About all the girls getting rejected for not having the look they want, is this the actual site that doesn't want that look or just the studio?

Its the actual cam site. They have the final approval on who they hire and who gets the hourly rate. I submit the info and they have to approve or deny the performer.

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
There isn't a trial period when you're approved. There have been performers that log on and just sit there. So if they feel you aren't trying to engage customers they can take you off the hourly rate. They are paying that get performers on there to help grow the site. Just showing up and not working isnt really fair to them either. All they have asked is performers chat with customers and work their room

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
Basically it seems like webcam models need to look at this "opportunity" as if they were applying for a job. If you don't meet certain criteria you will not be hired. If you do not perform your job duties you could get let go. There is more freedom in working for sites where model compensation is entirely commission based.

I agree if we are getting hourly we should have some guidelines for the hourly or we will have ppl taking advantage of this opportunity.

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
Just an update in case anyone's curious~
I decided to spend an hour on, not splitting, just to give it my full attention and try to interact with custies as much as possible. I made 85 tokens, which is like...2 dollars? Right? I think my math is correct. $1.70? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I had a few guys say that they were bummed there aren't more BBWs.
Guys were pretty respectful. Only one person really begged for anything. I had fun! Still waiting for my timecard thing to show up on my settings :S I'll feel better when that happens.
I wasn't really sure if I should work it like a token site or like a private site. So I tried to do a count down. Wasn't sure how to price anything so I went super low to try to make a goal. :/
How are you ladies pricing things? I'm torn between saying "well, 2 dollars is better than nothing, maybe I should get naked for less than 100 tokens" and wanting to NOT train these men to be cheap.

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
Thats Streamate now. When I first started on there over six years ago they were strict on who they hired as well. They werent into the alternative look or BBWs back then. Cam sites have evolved to allow performers from all walks of life and this site will in time as well.

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
I agree. Honestly they allow a lot of freedom on here. The pay per hour performers they just want to chat with their customers and be friendly. They really haven't asked a whole lot of us except to log in and work your room.

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
I just asked to make sure the site was alright with it and they said yes its fine. I personally also dont have a problem with it. Hell sometimes camming makes me want to drink. :)

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
Awesome, thank you so much for clearing that up for me, jane :)

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
OK, pop me in the mouth if I'm being a brat, but these requirements they emailed are rubbing me the wrong way. Funneling traffic to specific rooms based on arbitrary requirements (how can they do that? shouldn't they just provide traffic site wide and let the customer pic? placement improvement I understand, but...what?)? 20 photos (excessive. the max amount of photos I upload per network is 5-7 because I'm live, ain't I)? Filling out a schedule leads me to think they're going to hold people to a minimum amount of hours worked and...no.
Again, someone PLEASE slap me if I'm just being stupid in digging my heels in over this and saying, "wait a minute...". I also feel like I'm going to get penalized for my hustle because I'm not a girl next door type and that looks like what they want, with the push to fill out the profiles IN FULL and so on and so forth. My OKC profile doesn't even get that much information from me, for real.
-
Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
^ I just sent a message to Greg to clarify about the whole profile thing. If they actually require us to fill out all the fields I'm just gonna put down a bunch of random and fake stuff lol. Like most of those fields are none of their business and they're just kind of silly.
I also expressed my concerns about the site not welcoming "alternative" models and the fact that they're suspending models that they see as "unfit". I still expect to and want to be sure that I'll be paid for the work that I've done, along with the agreed upon hourly if they arbitrarily decide that my body type/look is "unfit" or whatever. Sure, they have a right to decide who they want to have on their hourly or not (even if I strongly disagree with their approach, because fetish is where it's at), but they need to decide that BEFORE the model logs on and starts working. I've been converting basic members into customers on there and doing well in tokens, and expect to be paid everything listed under my earnings as well as the hourly rate.
I can understand why they want a filled out profile and pictures to be part of the website since it's so new and they want some content on there (though they should really make the profile visible before signing up), I can use pictures that I already have anyway (I agree 20 is excessive though), but it's just really awkward right now. They shouldn't require any more than the basic fields to be filled out, like "About my show" etc. Not like, if you do drugs or about your car, haha.
Some amount of disorganization is to be expected with a new website like this, it's unfortunate and I hope most of the kinks are worked out soon.
And I'm really not sure about the whole schedule thing, I figure I'll just put a vague estimation but I definitely can't stick to a set schedule. I'm hoping they just want it to be filled out for "content" purposes, I doubt (or at least sincerely hope they don't) expect us to have a set/rigid schedule. Because I'm pretty sure that most of us models that are good hustlers aren't going to bother having a set schedule for a little website like this.
I've actually been getting some nice shows on there, I had one guy put $100 in his account just to spend on me and there are other guys with $50-$100+ in their account spending money. I've gotten some nice privates and tips. This could be a very decent side site as long as they keep their shit together. I plan on splitting with MFC.

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
Ahhh, wanting content for the sake of having the appearance of active and established performers is completely understandable. But still not cool with uploading 20 photos and you're damned right these cats don't need to know what kind of car I drive, lol. It's not relevant. I'm a high energy performer so the managers don't have to worry about me staring dead-eyed into the camera and milking the clock (I cut my teeth on sites like Cam4), but I'm also very dry in how I talk to people sometimes and I reserve the right to pick and choose who I engage with in my chat. So...a little worried about what it's going to be like when I start streaming, especially with what's been reported back. Good to hear they seem to have clients who are eager to spend though.

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
MFC has a spot that asks what car you drive also. I noticed when I filled out my profile on FWC that most questions were the exact same questions from the MFC profile.
-
Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
True, but the difference is that I don't get my MFC traffic/pay docked for refusing to answer those questions.
Also on the cams thing: WHAT?? They have that? That's fucked up!
-
Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
It doesn't really bother me, I don't have a car so I just put that I don't drive. I'm sure you can just put whatever though, it isn't like you have to put the exact car you drive. If you put you drive a Mercedes but you actually drive a Hyundai then I'm sure they aren't going to fire you if they find out that you don't drive a Mercedes. Haha, we are terminating you. Why? Cause you put you drive a Mercedes and you really drive a Hyundai, sorry.
No offense meant by this, that just popped in my head and I found it funny :)

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
I put "whatever you want to put into my garage" as my car.

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
OK I splitcammed today with MFC and FWC today again but this time, I used the "cover the cam" button when I went into a private. That button only lasts for like 15 seconds but I didn't know that so the freeloaders at FWC got a full on free cum show in free chat. Holy shit. I hope I don't get banned. I also checked my earnings and found that my hourly wasn't added from the hours yesterday and today. I was told by Olivia (the contact in the chat support window) that I was to contact [email protected] to find out why my hourly wasn't added. Now I'm wondering if I've been rejected. Totally not fair because I was busting my ass the entire time, dancing sexy and saying hello to anyone that said anything to me, even tried a lame game with some playing cards LOL I'm so not a game person. I do like the site though and their interface is very cool. Fingers crossed.

Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
The schedule thing is a bit weird. I don't see a way to split up shifts. Like doing noon-3 and then 8pm-12am. :/ So that sucks.
I'm a bit worried about how important the schedule seems to be to the site owners. Part of why I cam is so I can sort of pop on at different times when my migraines aren't kicking my ass. I hope they're not strict on us sticking to schedules.
-
Re: Freewebcams.com Thread
Ugh, so they can reject you based on size? I have a huge ass & legs, nowhere near BBW, but now I'm worried they won't take me?
