    Working indep it s hard but once u have a few loyal guys and if u can have your own site like me, it s great.
    It s amazing to work on your own and not have a site taking money from u.
    I still work at a few sites cause I cannot make enough money working on my own, but i would LOVE to be able to generate enough money so I could live from that site.
    I ve been camming for over 3 yrs now and I hear ya when u say u r tired of those sites taking money away from u.
    I would recommend using MFC for promotion for example, they r not strict and even if u don t have a site u can make a blog and promote yourself, give it a try, is worth it.

    Start with a blog..... and a payment processor. Girls here use alertpay.

    I personally use an indy site : aka
    (adultcamgirlsnetwork) for independent processing.

    Once you are indy you have to promote yourself. Banner exchanges, topsites, word of mouth, twitter, videos , etc!

    its not easy at all!

    But if you have the drive then the $$$ is yours for the taking! good luck!

    I have myself set up with Zombaio and so far so good...

    Marketing and promotion is my issue though...it is a lot of work but well worth it when it starts pulling in shows.

    I find that indi cam is more intimate, for lack of a better word, then the more impersonal quick shows that happen on the mainstream sites...like a closer connection and the guys like reading the blogs, seeing the updates, being on the twitter and spending more time with and on you.

    i started on big sites then tried to go indy and juggled both for a while. I thought that it was too much work for the same amount of money with indy. A lot of promoting and I'd have to deal with too many timewasters in order to find the good ones. They expect you to talk a little more and get to know each other in indy I felt. On streamate it was just like hi hru, wanna go pvt? and thats it. With indy it was more like hi..i am blah blah from blah blah i'm into blah blah...

    But that's just how it was for me when I first started. I'm now working on a site and plan on working mfc still. If I were you I'd do both and work sites like mfc who aren't strict about outside of the site transactions and just try to steal customers. there's no better promotion than actually being live on a site and being able to just put what you're offering in a topic and have them pay you through your own payment processor. a lot of guys on there are looking for skype shows anyway.

    This is what I have found too. Timewasters were driving me insane.

    It does bother me a LOT thinking of what percentage I lose at Streamate. If there were a better way to filter out the idiots and find guys who actually want to buy I'd be all over it.

    I get guys asking to buy panties on SM all the time so I tell them to google me where I have my independent cam and panty sales set up but I can't get them to follow through. They seem to only want to pay through the cam sites.
