So I did pop in here after a bit.. It's great to see another guy on here. Even though I have been on for a few months now, I still consider myself a newbie. That being said, here are some of my thoughts on your questions southernguy.....
1. Time of day really does matter for us. For me too there is a perpetual duldrum from about 2 until 8 CST. Earlier then that I get guys from Aus and NZ and after that europe and south america then the US a little later.... I know south america is not in the same timezone as europe, but they seem to come online a bit earlier.....
I've learned this to be true so far, or at least on ImLive. So far my room has been dead! I'll be camming during mornings starting this monday to see if I can get some traffic from asia and oceania, who knows, though.
3. My mind says guys looking for guys on these sites want a bit more, but I may be wrong. The fact your in the US plays in your favor for getting guys to go PVT. I am not sure what you do in your show, but the limited guys online from the states makes your percentages that much better.
This is VERY true, as well! And it's not only with camboys, but also with camgirls. I noticed that many freeloaders ask me to give them my msn or whatever to stay in touch with me, hell, one of them asked me if I was an escort and already wanted to meet me in person! So be ready for that, and to know how to handle it.
4. Listen to the girls on this site. Especially the ones who have replied in this thread. The guy side of things is a bit differant from the girls, but the lessons they have learned have proven to be true in our side of the business.
Ditto
5. The fact your thinking about diversifying your income between multiple sites is a good idea. I myself have not done that yet. Busty has some good advice on the FD... It does take a differant persona online than I or you are used to, but the benefits of it look very interesting. Do alot of research like she suggested. I have, and will probably get into it in the future, just have'nt had the time.
I'll point to this thread, it has the info on that
I hope you continue to post and share your travels in the male webcam world. Hopefully some of my ideas either help you, or open up more discussion. Don't forget the basics either. Good lighting and good camera....
THX,
