    Default ImLive traffic and going rate

    Is it just me or does the traffic flow suck? And I'm in free chat during my entire shift!

    But I seem to get just a few people in my room here and there every couples minutes. And then there are minutes straight where I don't get ANY PEOPLE in my room AT ALL. And no I'm not spending my little earnings on the bump to the top bs every 15 minutes either. I only did that a couple times in a whole 8 hours. Is that my mistake? lol

    People do come to me even when I'm at the bottom of the "hot spots" list, but it's mainly a lot of beggars and quiet people just staring at me, who don't even respond to me chatting with them or to the room.


    I'm definitely not hitting the numbers I think I should be or want to be as far as earnings go. Maybe I'm not charging enough.. I don't know the going rate.

    Is it just me... Remember this is my first week camming so please be gentle.

    i have been on hiatus for almost a month now due to my other job and some schedule conflicts.. for whatever reason i dont have the patience for their free chat.. i try but it never last long.. maybe 20mins if that then i get sick of it real quick...now that they have that other site..supposedly its a requirement to do free chat.. im not sure but when i get back to work ill figure it out as to if its good traffic or its just like being on imlive..

    Wow Imlive is now making their hosts pay to get their profile featured? Honey, You're wasting your time with their free chat. I made more money sitting in my private room than anything. You should only get on free chat if you're truly bored. They tell you this bullshit about how free chat increases your earnings... Yeah right! I used to do shower shows on imlive and have my laptop sitting on my bathroom sink while laying in my bedroom and run to the laptop everytime I heard the doorbell ring LOL! Funny huh? That was what worked for me while camming on imlive. If you're working multiple sites it wouldn't work of course but I think you should work multiple sites at once while waiting in your imlive private room (don't use my bathroom example because it wouldn't work)

    P.s Change your pics every three days if you can. I always made more when I changed my pics.. and I'm not talking different poses. I would wear my hair long in one pic, pigtails in another pic and pull my hair all back.. and have a range of looks like office, school girl... and so and so. I haven't been on imlive in a while so i don't know how the site works now but when I was on we didn't have to do free chat. NO IT IS NOT YOU. My friend also works on imlive and complains about how sucky the traffic is ..

    Remember not to rely on the site's traffic but also promote yourself ontop of that. Hope this helps hun. Good luck

    Thanks for your input, HustletteDiva. I know what you mean, it took me the first night or two but I can work the guys once they come to my room, but it's just getting the traffic that I'm really irritated about!

    Very good to know, thanks so much for this info and your help! I'm signing up for more sites today since my connection to LJ seemed too slow (not sure if this is a cam problem or their site). I'm looking into webcams.com and others.

    I had a feeling ImLive free chat was a waste of my time... And yeah they are making us pay, how ridiculous. Good idea for pics, I'll change em up tonight.

    I've never done free chat. If some guy is looking at me in my underwear I want to know I'm getting paid for it.

    To each his own.. I don't have a serious issue with free chat for several reasons, but in this specific case with ImLive it is failing to prove worthy of my time.

    Oh and I forgot to mention.. ImLive makes you do 120 hours of free chat before you can opt out... which is BS if you ask me. Can't wait to get on these others sites. I got approved by OnHerCams

    Imlive just started making the new models put in 120 hours beofre opting out of free video. You can knock that out in 1 payperiod. Just feel glad that they are not making you convert 5 new members via free chat before opting out. Now THAT would suck! That only lasted a few months before the new models were complaining left and right. I started before they started making girls do the free chat for 120 hours crap. I find the traffic to be very good for me most of the time. When its slow for me, I enter free video chat, and usually start getting privates within about 15 minutes or less....sometimes it only takes seconds. Also being a new girl can help out with traffic. If you are finding yourself not geeting much traffic, then you must utilize the tools on our site. They really do help you out alot. I'm not trying to sound like Imlive cs, but here goes....You have to make a promo video, take as many pics as you can. You might want to open your discount club once you have raised your price, or leave it closed and offer it upon request (thats what i do to cut down on all them free vouchers) participate in the mad video contest. It can bring alot of traffic. I am not a fan of happy hour, because I have noticed that girls who do happy hour have bad reviews from guys because they didnt do anal or smile enough or some bullshit. it seems the guys in hh are rude and leave bad reviews for no reason. So I have never done it, but it does bring traffic. Record your chat session to amke money while off line. I have recorded about 34 videos. They all range from 1 to 7 minutes. Plus some guys will watch a video before taking you private. Participate in the parties that we have every Friday. You can also make live viewer an option. No I would not pay for hotspots every 15 minutes. That is just crazy. I pay for it once a day, and it last 24 hours. When you see you are in spot 20, then sign in and out of chat real quick, and you will jump back up to about 4. Yes I think it's dumb that they make us pay for it, but it helps me get more privates. And send out an email to your favorites. Oh, and I think the traffic forum is a downer. Those same girls have been on the forums complaining about traffic for over a year that I have been there. I think they are a bunch of cry babies who project negative energy upon themselves. I am a strong believer in you get what you put out there. Stay positive, and know that you are hot enough to make good money on cam. When it's slow try to promote yourself, and stay positive. If you are using all your tools, you WILL do well! Good luck to you

    You are quite welcome. Definitely use the tools that we have for promotions. It really does help, and I always see a difference in traffic and earnings when I use them. Also Imlive will let you make a website and advertise it. I have also done that a few times. I will start trying to do that more as well.

    Thanks for ideas about the tools but I was aware of all of them already. I participate in about half. There is good reason for not participating in some, because it's giving more of myself away for free while continuing to promote ImLive and rather than myself. I'm not interested in doing that for this company.

    Also I hold a very positive attitude, I am just reporting my observations and questioning the experience.

    I have been there over a year, and at one point I was having a problem with traffic. I too asked the same question you asked, and was told the same thing about the tools and what not. I also do not use every single tool. I opt out of mad video, happy hour, and them promoting me off the site, for my own personal reasons. I don't know about other girls, but what I mentioned works for me, and I am not trying to say you are not positive. I am just trying to say remain positive despite the occasional low traffic.

    im not on imlive but this past week sucked balls on my reg site. i had to work way longer hours and hustle way harder to make my normal check. i had a few models come into my room to ask if i noticed a slow down and i think it was due to march madness basketball, alot of dudes n vegas this past week. keep ur head up and work hard and maybe if one particular site isnt working for u its time to move on to another. dont be afraid to move around and try other sites, theres tons out there.

    Thanks for the advice I should be starting on OnHerCams very soon. Looking into the others later today! Models were coming into my room and also asking me. Maybe it is March Madness!

    To all: Just had to add... Sure you can utilize the tools imlive or any of these other sites give you BUT don't rely just on those sites. Promote yourself on youtube, myspace, facebook, twitter WITH your host name. You'll see how much money you can make. I mean this is how camsites make money by promoting the site as a whole so why not promote your individual cam profile and bank.

    When you rely on imlive's traffic or whatever site you cam on you're really setting yourself up because we all know one day business can be REALLY good but the next day it could be REALLY bad right? I had to open a twitter account when I saw what it was doing for a camgirl friend of mine. So I highly recommend promoting yourself outside the cam networks.

    Update: I labeled myself as BBW tonight and got double the traffic and privates in just 1 hour... Go figure! LOL
    Since I have the belly/booty and thickness going on I figured i could get away with it.

    Hey Jess, I think any size 12 or above, a woman is considered plus size/bbw. I am not really sure. I think when you have a big round butt, big tits, and more curves, society considers it plus size. There are a few guys who left my chat room because they said I am not a ssbbw (super size bbw). I think the ssbbw is probably a size 18 or 20 and above. I think a size 9/10 can get away with saying they are bbw. I am a size 16 and huge boobs. So about 95% of guys come see me for the boobs only. I am rarely nude from the waste down....

    Your pic looks to be about size 5 to 7? If your smaller please forgive me

    Hope this helps?
