    Default Free Chat Patience

    I know it pays off to do free chat in blocks of time, naturally. My question is for those of you who do free chat regularly (like make the bulk of your camming income from sites where free chat is pretty much mandatory), how long are you willing to sit there and try to get privates before you conclude it'll be better to try again later, or get irritated with all the beggars and just give up?

    I'm asking because I'm starting to do a LOT better with staying in for chunks of time regardless, but I kind of want to know what is reasonable vs. unreasonable. So far I've gone up to just over an hour with no private shows before trying again later. What do you recommend? 2 hour blocks of time? 3? 4? Do you ever just cam 6-8 hours straight (with a few 10-15 minute breaks in between)? Does it even make a difference on a slow day?

    I cam in blocks of 2. As in 2 hours straight then 30 minute break, back on cam for another 2 hours then 30 minute break. That is my 4 hour shift then I repeat a 2nd shift at night. So in all I've worked 8 hours. Working 6-8 hours straight will burn you out. Now that camming is not my primary income this routine has worked wonders for me. I have gotten on cam several times thinking "Mehn I really don't have to do this shit" because Yes it IS boring/tiring most of the time but this routine has made me enjoy it more and change the way I now look at camming. Instead of thinking damn this shit is boring I'm setting goals and breaking them thinking Hmm Let's try to make $150 in two hours.

    I give free chat 30-60 mins. Then I move on, and try in an hour. I either look at another site, or make a few clips.... It tends to work for me. Guys know you aren't playing around with your time on there.

    Hi Angel,

    I usually cam in 2-4 hr blocks, which seems to keep me refreshed. I've gotten much better about dialing in the right times of day for me now, so I don't really sit in free chat all that much, but I'd say that if after a half hour nothing was happening, I'd try later.

    What sites are you on? I just do streamate now, but I should really expand. I can't get manycams or splitcam to work on my compy though.

    I cant see how a person can sit all day evey day... Wouldnt that bring the value of the model down?

    -I get payed more when they miss me.

    -I get payed more when i have a fulll room, and no takers, when i log of on all thier asses, then they send me messages to come back for a pvt.



    LOL

    I usually do 2 hours, 15 min break , 2hours then repeat at night

    I do between 4-6 and sometimes 4-8 hours a day

    and when i dont treat it like a job, i dont reach my goal, and when I do, I exceed it.

    yes I also remove myself if i dont have a pvt show in 30 minutes, because it means the traffic is not moving so fast YET.

    Sometimes i can tell the traffic by what girls log on. Especially on STREAMATE. These girls seem to have a radar for money

    i usually cam for 5-6 hours straight in the evening with little 10 min breaks here and there to pee, grab water or grab a cookie for every $100 I make, by that time I deserve that freaking cookie haha!

    Chunks of time will help creating some sort of a schedule so that guys kinda know when to look for you. I try not to log off for too long, if someone can't find you you can bet they'll move on to another girl and spend your money on her. I can't tell you how many times I've almost logged off cuz it was slow but pushed myself to stay on another 30 mins and BINGO i get a long exclusive private.

    If you're waiting in free chat for that long I would def be looking into switching something up, but that's just me.

    Great advice everyone... seems the general consensus is 4-6 hour blocks of time, 2 hours at a time. I get so used to going private within a few minutes of logging in. When it gets to be 20-30 minutes and no private I'm just like "ummm why am I here"? But like someone said sometimes just waiting around that extra little bit of time will net you that one guy to make the entire time period worthwhile.

    I'm on streamate now. Traffic is generally nice over there like everyone says. Thinking of trying out the new ifriends but I really just don't want to do any more paperwork. I'm tired to death of paperwork.

    If I don't get a private within 30 minutes, I'm out of there. Maybe I need to be a little more patient... but I just see it as a waste of time.
