    Yeah I personnally HATE imlive.com! They're too difficult! I called them and they said its .98 and my cut is 30percent of that! But I can change my cut. But their guest are freeloaders and rude. I constintly have someone in there just to talk to me. Some come in just to taunt you but I guess that come with the game. The only thing I can say about them is they have some great options to make $$ outside the room.

    Now on the other hand I worked streamate.com for the 1st time and out the gate 30 mins there $30 and a future regular in the making.

    Still can't get split screen to work with them. maybe some1 has some advice for me.

    Check out camgirlhandbook.com by Minnie - she pretty much covers everything you need to know. Imlive is good BUT you have to put in a few months to build up your client base.

    Wish: Did they update this? I remember that would happen to me sometimes too on imlive...there is no way they can pay you $4 for 40minutes..geez ... Did you contact customer service? Usually they respond asap and they'll fix this problem.

    Just my personal opinion, IMLIVE is a huge ripoff.. I mean they rip the customers AND the hosts off.. especially the hosts. They start you off at .98 and give you 30% of that ...soo not fair. I'd suggest you get on webcams.com, streamate.com, cams.com...oOH and now on webcams.com you can choose your own rate now...love it! Try one of those sites. Sites like webcams.com don't have as much traffic like imlive but they have better quality customers and less timewasters (Yup i've noticed) I made it big on imlive.com my first two weeks there..but camming income is very individulaized..It's not the same for everyone and just because you make 1k one week dosen't mean you'll make 1k the next week..YOu have to stay on top of your game: Change outfits, use microphone (use microphone on free chat but not too much some guys will get off just from your voice alone..ugh), Use good lighting (this is the key), SMILE...with all this if you don't have good lighting...You won't make it far as a webcam model/camgirl. Hope this helps.

    P.S and yes check out camgirlhandbook.com If you haven't already...You'll find most of your questions answered there already.

    I was on imlive last night doing good! Or so I thought! For 40 mins I had steady privates. So I went to check my $$ and it said $4 and change! After 40 mins. I was pissed and still am. So I signed into Streamate instead and within my 1st 45mins I had 3 shows 10mins each. I checked my $$ there and it said $30.
    I don't understand how imlive works like how to bank there. I want to bank there so bad! There promoting is bad ass. Streamate is a lot easier for me.

    Hmm this sure is making me glad IMlive kept rejecting me and I went to streamate instead. I have rarely if ever (that I can think of?) Had problems with someone taunting me on streamate. Guys that would find me ugly or whatever pretty much don't come into my room in the first place or just come in, check me out and decide Im not for them and leave without saying anything. The only kind of taunting I ever recieve is 1) guys who say "flash nipple now in free and I buy 30 mins of pvt time" and I just tell them to fuck off and 2) guys who for whatever reason, think it's funny to have a 5 min conversation with me telling me how hot and amazing I am and tell me that they are ready to go pvt and they will see me in there in a second, and then they just vanish. I've started being able to recognize this now though...it seems like they usually always mention pvt really fast and say the word "pvt" a lot, with a sort of unnatural enthusiam. I think they get off on trying to make me all excited about it and then disappointing me. A few of them have done it more than once now and I just banned them. But yeah other than that, no problems on streamate.

    You'll get that on any camsite you join. IMLIVE is known for the timewasters...UGH! I remember i used to just sit in private and wait for shows to come in rather than chit chat in free chat and try to entice them to come in. Yup i've found that guys what use "pvt" are simply just timewasters too...

    Hahah it's so annoying but interesting too. I love watching the way people behave and finding patterns. It really is true that if a guy says "pvt" its a bad sign. I've found guys who are actually ready to go just go. They don't usually say things like "See you in there in a minute babY!" They just pop in and say hello.

    I love this about customer service work, getting to see these weird little patterns. I've also done pizza delivery, and I would find the same things in regard to who tipped and who didn't. Whenever a customer would open the door and say "Wow you got here FAST!" it almost always, seriously, like 95% of the time, would mean they were NOT gonna tip. It was such a strange thing. All the other drivers I knew noticed this too. It didn't make sense to us because it seemed if they were so pleased with our service they would have wanted to tip, but nope. All we could figure is that since they were non tippers they felt the need to overcompensate by being very thankful. People are so weird.

    Super f'ing true!! Damn good observation Ms Claire. Usually they'd just go or ask something like "Do you have a short shorts you can wear?" and then go. This is why i love webcams.com soo much i've never had to deal with timewasters as much there...though their software is kinda shitty.

    I would reply to this topic but I am not really sure what is in the original post. imlive is a good site to work with. if you know how to maximize your time on the site.

    Free chat is on imlive instead of sitting your room waiting for someone to pop in. sometimes to drum up business you will have to be in free chat for a little while i say no more then 10 minutes at a time.

    There is still alot I am working on for camgirlhandbook.com right now I am gathering information for taxes. Imlive isn't really a ripoff if you know how to use their tools provided. every webcam site operates differently so you need to learn how to make site.

    It's not the way its set up that I don't understand. I don't get how it says I was in chat for 40 mins and only made $4.04! I emailed them and haven't received a responce back yet.

    the only thing i could think of is when you first start, your first 90 minutes private is at .98 cents/minute and you only receive 30% so 30 cents a minute. But then after 90 minutes you have to log off and log back on it for ur price to update and you can charge more. It wont change automatically while youre still logged in. Otherwise, you will sit there for hours doing your shift at .98 cents.

    But given ur situation (wish) even at the beginning pay rate 40 minutes is way more than $4. So idk. Did you try posting on the forum to Sherry. I know they say to email questions about payments. But maybe posting on the forum will make them want to take care of the matter faster. Worth a shot!

    I just know I defiantly wouldn't want to be on there working until its figured out.

    Yes i've used imlive's tools. I did bank on this site.. once a upon a time during my camming days. Imlive is NOT for everyone. I've seen girls get frustrated with the site. Customer service sometimes respond and other times are very rude when you're asking about your money. It's weird..Is imlive a legitimate site ...? of course but the way they treat their hosts is unfair!

    Wish: they haven't responded back yet? wow!

    I emailed them this morning and am talking to them now on the phone and they're saying give them 48hours. I haven't been back since this happened and I have 3 guest looking for me. I am really hurt that this is taking so long to get fixed. I went back and looked at the other day I worked and am PISSED! It says total I've made $10 for more than 2 hours of active chat! I calculated it and I'm suppose to be seeing $43.

    Wow, yeah, I was going to say it might have something to do with the amount you're charging per minute for your premium chat. I didn't actually do any math computations on that, but if you say you should have approximately $40.00 coming to you, I'd say that was fair for the amount of time you said you've put in for your shows at that rate.

    Who chose that rate, by the way (for ImLive)? Was it you? Or do they start you off at that rate and move you up once you get ratings? I never bothered even applying there because most of the girls on here said they couldn't complete the application process without a major hassle.

    If they say it's a calculation error on their part, I guess I'd still be pissed, but I'd probably wait to see if they got what I got, and intend to rectify the error. If they're still coming up short, maybe just discontinue working there for the time being. I honestly don't see how there could ever be a discrepancy, but I suppose it's always a possibility.

    And yeah, if you do have customers who are looking for you, maybe you can direct them to contact you elsewhere since you probably won't be working on ImLive anymore. I think if you have a few good customers who you think are reliable enough money-wise, and would follow you to another site, maybe you could create a MySpace page or something for your Chat Host personality (obviously, don't use your real email address or anything else you don't want anyone to know) and direct them to wherever you WILL be working. (Thanks MalaylaTaylor for suggesting this!)

    Just a thought.

    I am PISSED right now- I'm not on IMLive, I am on cams.com, and I got a 68 minute private tonight. Longest one i have done yet.

    THEY ARE RIPPING ME OFF!

    My earning percentage is at 45 percent. My rate is 2.49. 45 percent of 68 minutes at 2.49 DOES NOT equal 39.44!!!!!! It should be 76.19!!!!!! I am only getting paid 23 percent!!!!!!!!!

    I did some more math on some of my other shows tonight that had the SAME price and the SAME percentage [I haven't changed it all night or in a couple days as a matter of fact] and they are not adding up either!

    Called CS and after being on hold for about 4 minutes the lady told me I had to call the long distance Vegas number which isn't open for another three hours!

    I am FUMING! WTF IS GOING ON!?

    Well as much as I dislike some aspects of streamate, I gotta say, I've never had these issues with them. Maybe give them a try? They are assholes in the fact that they sell your shows without giving you a cut, but they definitely pay you what you earn while camming without trouble...
