Conversation for a dead room
Alright what is your go to conversation starter for a dead room?
I do the typical "how are you?" "enjoying your *day*?" etc but I don't want to sound like some kind of light conversation parrot.
What do you guys do or say to look available without looking bored?

Re: Conversation for a dead room
I just look pleasant and engaging. The more I talk, the less shows I get. I do say hi to everyone that enters my room.

Re: Conversation for a dead room
My recommendation for those camming on "free chat" sites is to NOT do the "Hey, Bobby! How are you?" thing every time a new member enters the room. DO NOT greet these guys by name UNLESS they are A) one of your regulars or B) have said hi to you first. Often times when you do that, they'll just leave the room asap since they've been "put on blast." Lol. So if they're not one of your regs or they haven't said hi to you first, just stick to a general "Hey, guys! What's goin' on?" This has been my experience, and we've had a discussion about this before on another forum where guys have said they don't like being put on the spot like that in a new room.
Now if it's a returning regular, I will most definitely do the "Hey, Steve!" thing, because regulars actually enjoy when you greet them by name, and it makes them feel special.
As for conversations for a dead room...
"Have you guys seen any good movies lately?"
"You guys got anything cool going on this summer?"
ETC.
I, personally, would avoid conversations on politics...unless you enjoy heated arguments in your chatroom. Lol. I'd also avoid conversations on religion, obviously (We don't need to be talking about Jesus and The Bible on a CAM SITE while dudes got their cocks out and are fantasizing about pounding your pussy).

Re: Conversation for a dead room
If no one is talking I just start asking if all the people watching me are zombies or gay. Then I go on about how I need my brain and if they are zombies they can leave. It always gets a guy to laugh and talk. I also splitcam 3 different sites at the same time so it's rare that I have a quiet room. I seriously only have Bongacams up because they are the most chatty and they give me material to expound on.
For me a dead room is no money, I have to be engaged in some kind of conversation. I also don't shy away from ANY topics. Everyday is at least a 3 hour variety talk show. I don't believe in being fake and nice or acting happy. As soon as I let that shit go, I started banking again. Of course, my hustle won't work for everyone. It surprises me though how much fear there is in actually speaking your true thoughts and getting off on bullying back the trolls.

Re: Conversation for a dead room
I just talk about weird shit...like..
"Does anybody know what pez is really made of?"
"I don't trust cheese out of a can."
"What scares you more, zombie appocolypse or alien invasion?"
"I think Martha Stewart should make sex toys"
Just rambling seems to start convos for me *shrug*

Re: Conversation for a dead room
I just say "Welcome everyone to my room" once and then I start to dance. Or I might take out my Vampire Tarot cards and start doing my sex psychic reading. However, I have something eye catching on like tons of glitter. Then guys start to comment and tipping. Personally, I limited my chatting on foreign token sites because it adds to my mystique. But I do not know if that will fly too much on American sites like Chaturbate. However, I try to talk more on Rude and Myfetishlive.

Re: Conversation for a dead room
Dead room, hmm. In these days whatever they say in free, i dont bother myself to respond. If i dont want to. I dont care what they think. They just asking the same things over and over, i m not shy to tell it bores the hell out of me.
Usually i talk to the ones i know. Anyway, i dont care. I m nice in pvt and do my job well, but in free if they are boring, they can watch my "statue" all day long. I dont care. :D
Especially now, i ve just arrived back from gym. did workout. I m tired for bullshit. And i still got pvts, and i do it good. So whatever. Anyway, do not ever think, they care a bit about how do u feel or what s happening to u. :*

Exactly how I run my rooms too.
Talking= no money
Silence is golden, and = money
*The only time I ramble on about nothing is when I have a room full of freeloaders, and I'm feeling too lazy to kick/ ban them.

Re: Conversation for a dead room
I'm pretty chatty. I threaten them that I'll start a subject and they will be stuck listening to me until they leave or do a show (insert gross story)

Dammit, I tried the silent mystique thing but all I got was guys being "are u ok", "you seem sad", "are u a recording? say pineapple".

Lol! Oh well. At least you tried.
I honestly don't know why that technique works for me, but it does.
I don't show my face. Only my nose, mouth, and cleavage, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Honestly, if I could figure out why things work, and others don't on cam, I'd be very wealthy.

Lmao! I get the same thing! "Are you sad/mad?" Haha. And I'm like OMG nooo, don't say that! If everyone else thinks I'm pissy they'll leave! So I shoot the guy a PM and I'm like stfu! Haha. Only not exactly.
ETA: That being said, I'm pretty bubbly/chatty no matter where I am. It's just my thing.

Re: Conversation for a dead room
I think technique can depend on the site you are on too. Token-based sites seem to work well with chatty conversational styles and private-based with more sexy silent styles. I've seen both work though, can depend on the performer too.

Re: Conversation for a dead room
I look as hot as possible, and make sure my pic is hot too, so they can't help but come in my room and spend their whole check.
-
Re: Conversation for a dead room
I wear a crown or a bright colored wig. Sometimes I change up & cover my whole body in clothing showing nothing. What I do is mix it up to keep me amused as much as to entertain them.

Re: Conversation for a dead room
I greet everyone, I never even thought about them not liking it or feeling put on blast. Some leave, some don't but I figure at least my lips moving and my eyes engaged shows life in my room when those screenshots are updating on the main pages. Figure i look lively when they pop in too. But ill try it the other way and see how many stays/vs goes i get.
I also do silly things like crochet, blow bubbles, do my nails, fold towels. Ive even worn a cape and top hat, bunny ears, a facinator, gloves, masks etc. I try to take notice of what the ladies surrounding me on my category main page are wearing/doing and do the opposite. Ive pulled a sam38g and put more clothes on before and that actually works very well. I seem to pick up more regs that way. Sure, they tend to take more chatting and finessing, but they seem to be a better ROI. Im trying everything right now. Taking notes and seeing what sticks

Re: Conversation for a dead room
Are facinators those awesome fancy lady hats that kinda sit on the side?
Btw, I'm totally stealing your bubble blowing idea one of these days.
-
Re: Conversation for a dead room
Yup. Fancy lady hats. Although I don't think the dudes care that much but they are fun for me. And steal away. Just try to not hit your cam w bubbles. Lol. PITA cleaning off streaks.
-
Re: Conversation for a dead room
Lmao! That's awesome. That's one of the things I'm most looking forward to - dressing up in shit that's fun for me but I couldn't necessarily get away with in regular society. Haha.
-
Re: Conversation for a dead room
Ain't that truth! I don't understand why if you are chatting about this or that.. the tips and pvt's go down.. that happened to me on my 4th hour today.. I hardly made shit.. the next hour I came back strong!.. dicks up , wallets down! I tell them that to haha

Re: Conversation for a dead room
I am always talking to someone being on 8 cam sites.. I get a lot of who are you talking to?..lmao.. cuz they come to an empty room on some sites ie: SM.. and probably think I am talking to imaginary friends or something.
-
Re: Conversation for a dead room
I talk about tv shows, movies and books. That seems to get people talking and you get to learn a bit about them. For me the more I engage people, the more shows I get. People like to chat a bit before shows sometimes and a friendly chat never hurt anyone. It is a chat room after all
-
Re: Conversation for a dead room
I talk to myself... about K-pop. It's easier to do this on Streamate when I really could legit be talking to "someone" :P
-
Re: Conversation for a dead room
Sometimes I pretend there's someone else there and that he's asking about my show, so that gives me a chance to rattle off my specialties and maybe reel anybody in who's sitting quietly waiting to see what my show is about. Showing them a bit of your personality is good but a lot of the time they just give you NOTHING to work with so, haha, you have to make it up. Sometimes sitting about talking shit makes lurkers curious and they start talking too. I don't always do this, depends on my energy level, but it certainly makes the room livelier.
Or making fun of stupid shit people say - in a funny, lighthearted way, not letting it make you upset - guys tend to enjoy that too.

Re: Conversation for a dead room
I use to get very nervous and play with my phone or just nervous adhd behavior when nobody is in my room or there is just one person, but now I just smile in the cam, move slowly and enjoy my music, look as pretty as possible and they come. I have few guys who watch me all the time and I swear they LOVE when my room is empty, bcs they can come and be retarded "not a busy day for you today", "how come you're so pretty today and your room is empty", tip me 1token and make a comment like "you're giving your best and nobody is tipping, here you go"... I use to get very upset when someone is fucking with me that way, but now I just don't care, I see them as pathetic persons with no better things to do.
