Need fresh update: is Chaturbate and similar type worth the hassle?
I know many threads about that, but the atmosphere in camsites change over time. So I'd like to ask again.
I'm new to camming and having really bad luck. Streamate won't accept me because of my nationality, have to go through agency, adultwork don't allow to choose webcam work and don't react to my claims. LiveJasmin seems dead or I'm doing it wrong.
So I tried Chaturbate. It seemed to me, that it's full of beggars, scammers, freeloaders and unless you constantly do hardcore f****ng on free chat, no one comes to your room. It seems lots of hard work and hassle for me to do it for more than few hours. Noone tips, just begs, demands, threatens or doesn't talk at all! After 7 hours non stop doing all sorts of stuff, games, apps, goals, smiling, teasing, dressed, undressed, toy play and any other tricks I could think, I only managed to generate 99 tokens in tips. Finally, I had one private show I didn't receive a token for it (it was genuine, not a scam!). Chaturbate doesn't respond to my emails.
So I'm pretty tired of all this, dunno if I should keep on trying Chaturbate or other similar sites or just go stock shelves in supermarket for pennies?
:(

Wait...what?
From what I've heard about LiveJasmin (that site has a bad reputation among cam girls), you might wanna stay away from that site.
Chaturbate is probably a little better, though I'm constantly seeing complaints (on another forum) about them banning models for dumb reasons.
I think this is the first time I'm hearing about Streamate rejecting a model due to her nationality.
AdultWork won't allow you to select 'Webcam work'? I used to cam on there and liked it. I don't think you should rule them out too quickly, so look into that.
There are several cam sites out there to choose from (I like ImLive and Cams...sometimes I like MyFreeCams, but MFC is a ridiculously overwhelming site for new cam girls). You should read the following threads:

Re: Need fresh update: is Chaturbate and similar type worth the hassle?
Yeah I think SM doesn't accept certain countries unless they go through a studio. It's really lame. But as CamKaty mentioned, BoleynModels is great.
I keep seeing a lot of threads like this lately, asking for updated info on sites that are regularly discussed here. The official Chaturbate, Streamate, etc. threads may be old, but if you just go to the last few pages there's new info there.
Re: Need fresh update: is Chaturbate and similar type worth the hassle?
As far as AW goes; did you submit a passport as your ID? They require that but don't let you know for some silly reason. So you could think you're good to go, but meanwhile you can't do much of anything until you update your documents with a passport.
Re: Need fresh update: is Chaturbate and similar type worth the hassle?
Yeah you can't choose webcam work on AW until your IDs and everything have been totally verified. It showed as an X for me until I was validated and then it was a check mark and I could set it up.
As for SM, I was also going to suggest looking into BoleynModels because I see Katy posting on here all the time and she seems pretty knowledgable and awesome. People seem to look favorably on BoleynModels here, IME. Which is pretty cool. Note: I have no personal experience with them myself. But It can hurt to take a looksie and maybe talk to someone, no?
Re: Need fresh update: is Chaturbate and similar type worth the hassle?
Thanks, girls for your answers and info!!
Regarding Streamate: for them it doesn't matter if I live in UK, they saw the nationality in my passport and - good bye without any explanation!!
AW: I've been through excruciating and humiliating verification process, they rejected my photos and scans many times, even if they where high quality and just kept asking taking more with street names, papers, notes, clothes I perform with. But I'm verified now and hope to sort out that "webcam issue".
Thanks for advice again, i'll search the forum more!! ;)

I'm happy with CB. I just READ the Chaturbate Thread and made a decision to try it. I'm happy I did. Every time I cam specifically on CB (and I cam on 3 token sites, but CB is different) this is what happens,
I make good money. CB guys TIP
I get tons of Twitter followers
I get tons of guys who add me on SnapChat
I get a major traffic increase on ManyVids
I sell Videos
Those things ALWAYS happen after I cam on CB. The guys there are in a league of their own. And it never happens on any other token site. My others are Bonga and MFC ;-)

This sounds encouraging since Cam4 is so exhausting since it's filled with cheap men.
Re: Need fresh update: is Chaturbate and similar type worth the hassle?
So just an update from Adultwork:
Adultwork team redirected me to the company called "sweet kick Limited", which requires me to resubmit all the ID scans and photos again, plus provide even more sensitive information, like home address, ect. !!!
This company will deal be my agent for Webcam work and will monitor me if I'm not committing any fraud or scam, and for that they will charge me 2% on top of the AW % !!!! Apparently, your nationality automatically makes you fraudster!
I think I'll skip on this ridiculous bullshit! I have more dignity that that!!
Re: Need fresh update: is Chaturbate and similar type worth the hassle?
You can try sweet kick Lara Banana. Most of the eastern european girls must sign up thru' skl to be able to cam on aw, because of fraudulent issues. If you decide to sign up with them be careful to hide your verification photo, because some girls have their sensitive data shown.

CB is my backup site & I love it.
Keep in mind, this is a sales job. So you have to adjust your hustle to each site.
I don't fuck myself on there, rarely do more than flash my boobs but have great regulars on it & fun conversations. It take much longer to make money on it than SM but not as much energy.
It is your room & up to you to run it, thus free loaders & beggars wont be an issue once you block the ones who try to train all the performers with new girl status.
There are performers who make money on each cam site or these sites would not be in business. Sometimes it is us & how we hustle that needs to change rather than bashing a site. Personally, each site that I've cammed on in the past & now took me hours upon hours of study. After all that studying, took me tons more hours of perfecting my hustle which is a never ending quest.
Good Luck,
Sam

I don't consider it "bashing a site" to give someone facts on what other cam girls experienced...especially when they asked for thoughts/opinions. :) Other than that, HIGH FIVE to everything else you said. :D
Re: Need fresh update: is Chaturbate and similar type worth the hassle?
Check out your feed on Chaturbate. I find that I am constantly having to refresh the browser because my feed will stop streaming properly randomly for no reason even though it looks fine from my end, members will just stop tipping and talking because they can't see me properly. It keeps happening and I can't figure out what's wrong, I'm beginning to think somebody is intentionally hacking my feed. Which reminds me, I should change my password.
Maybe think about doing cam part-time rather than relying on it for all your income. It will take the pressure off so you can feel more confident on camera.

Most try it once or twice without any real effort. If some has put time, effort & hustle to determine it didn't work for them. Then I am in total agreement with you on that point.
The thread start claimed to be new & having bad luck, those two things right there for me says she may not have the best judgment about CB or making money at camming. WE all know to make money at camming takes skills & a learning curve that most newbies find hard to accept in the reality of how to make money in this industry.
Her accessment of the site is extremely negative & crap we all have to deal with on most cam sites. Yes, granted it is all overwhelming for a newbie, luckily this site has a thread for newbies to learn from first if they took the time to read it. Which I maybe mistaken in thinking she skipped that part.
All newbies are hit hard by the predators, beggars & guys who want to scam & cheat girls before the get wise to their game. I just joined F4F lately & all those same kind of guys tried to pull that crap on me. Sat there & laughed at their attempts as if I don't know how this all works. Worked it all to my advantage too.
It is apart of the hazing men do to all new cam girls on every cam site. I do wish cam sites baby sat newbies through that process & blocked that type of predators right off the bat to cut down on it. Find it unfair to trash CB when that happens on most cam sites. This isn't an easy biz or easy money, that many new cam performers find out very quickly. I've done several all sales commission based jobs in the mainstream market, that was hard too. :)

Thanks, girls a lot! I'm glad this community exists!
For those in Europe, anyone tried working weekdays day time (normal office hours time). Obviously it's early morning in US, but late evening in Asia & Australia.. How does it go traffic and money wise?
