    I just got tired of doing support's job. So I tell them to read the FAQ at the bottom of the page and if they have any questions about it to let me know. They usually fuck off or get educated lol. I'm not wasting my time with it anymore...most of them never buy a show anyway. And I feel the site is pretty self explanatory when I have a profile they can read and there's a huge "Go Private" button under me lol.

    Thanks everyone!! I definitely won’t start asking for tips from them!

    Some of them ask and they genuinely want to understand what the deal is. Then they either tip or whatever or say thanks and come back later sometimes (or not) etc. Then on the other hand I’ve been getting loads who ask, then the conversation descends into, “How do I go private” “How do I top up” “How do I send gold” and I wonder if I’m not being patient enough or whether they’re just deliberately pretending they don’t understand to keep me talking and possibly not even knew.

    I don’t have an issue with chatting away with people without payment within reason. I like the chatters. I’ll take interesting conversation any day without a payment over a bunch of people parked starting at me and not interacting!

    Have any of you ladies been told that your biopic must show your face? I've had a pic of just my butt for years but I started a new account and suddenly I need to show my face?

    I can't remember any of those guys ever going pvt or tipping after I've helped them. At first I use to help them but after a while I stopped. I honestly think most of them are lying and just using that line as a way to get attention and to waste time. Think about it if they didn't know how to use or work the site then how are they able to navigate to a model's room.

    Its like dude if you don't know how to work the site then how did you find your way here? The tip and pvt button is right there in their face, its not that hard to just click them. I've also been on the customer side its not any easier or harder than our panel....all the links one would need (my account, support, etc) are in plain view....they aren't hidden in some abyss. If they can figure out how to get into our rooms then they know or can figure out how to tip or pvt.

    I've become very sarcastic over the years of camming. I tell them in a sarcastic tone to click the big yellow or blue button that's right there in front of their face. If they continue to whine about not knowing how to or that its says they need to add money to their account I tell them to contact support. I'm not here for hand-holding in any form, like use your brain and figure it dude. I will and do help guys who have genuine tech issues (to a certain point) though but that's simply because tech issues stops them from being able to spend which stops me from being able to drain their $$$.

    Yes this is where I'm at. They literally go one way or the other, they end up spending a nice amount or they start stringing me along and they'll come back to my room so many times and never spend. It's usually the latter.

    It's figuring out who's who which seems to be the battle. I think I'm going to copy and paste something and see how they deal with that before investing too much time in them

    I'll usually ask them what they would like to know/need help with. 90% I'll quickly say there is 3 main ways to play: premium which is a potential for a group show, exclusive which is 1on1 (ex in my room phone & c2c) and gold show which is a group effort goal show. A great way to play if you're on a budget or want to get to know a model first. I'll also mention that exclusive is unlocked after spending 10 gold, and I'll casually mention my tip menu afterwards, and often times they will tip off my menu as a thanks + to unlock it. But I keep my blurb short and sweet. And tell them if they need any more info refer to the FAQ for more details.

    It's a pretty good conversation starter imo, esp if the room is dead or change in conversation bc also after I'm done my minute long shpeal, I use it as an opportunity to start talking about myself, mainly what I offer in premium vs exclusive, what kinks I like etc and engage the room into the discussion or change topic. You'd be surprised how many guys I've had added me to their faves after that and then come back and take me private bc they remember me being friendly & helpful, or they will say, "you were the first I added to my favorites" etc.

    I honest to god cammed last on Friday and that very day had a guy ask me this and right after I explained it all we were private and did a 20min show.

    YOU think they are wasting your time but many of these guys are older gentlemen and what comes as obvious to us on the internet is not so intuitive to them. AND many of these older gentlemen, who dont grasp the internet so easily, also have a lot of disposable income and tend to be lonely. You can send them away if you want but I am here to say to those who need to hear this that when you do this you limit yourself.

    I get what you're saying and I see your point however to each their own. I'm glad it works for you but mentally and emotionally I just don't have the patience to explain how the site works to each and every dude that asks. Personality wise I'm just not a hand-holder, never have been. I value my emotional and mental state. I have to do what works for me. If being patient and explaining the site gets some of you ladies more pvts more power to you. Trial and error is never a bad thing neither is doing what works for you.

    So I am usually very avoidant to contacting support. I get way too frustrated by their 3 steps to an actual answer system. For example when my earnings were not showing up correctly, their response was that earnings won’t show up for 2 days? This was after Liz came on here and acknowledged the issue.

    On to my issue, smc is not loading mobile c2c. I believe it is mostly on the customers end, in the way that they need to set up their phone/the site’s access to their cam. I have a number of regulars where I have switched back to smb and voila the cam works. So obviously there is a code problem. I can’t be the only one having this issue.

    So has anyone gotten any useful info from support? Or discovered anything we can tell our clients? After a long resistance I have come to like many features of smc, and smb is being pulled on the 30th. I’m sick of losing out on shows because of a failed c2c.

    I know Sm can’t fix a problem they don’t hear about but they really need to care about our inquiries more then they do. If we take the time to take screenshots, give a detailed account it really should be moved to an actual support person and not the basic response that can be found in the FAQ

    ^^ I tell my clients to contact support. They get live support on their end and they will help them right away. They can usually sort the issue out right away in my experience. Its a pain in the ass to have to ask them to go and do that when they are ready for a show but its worth it cause they do get support right away and it normally sorts it all out.

    You aren't the only 1. They are aware of it just like they are aware of everything else. All of us know they only read model emails 10% of the time. They care more about an issue when a customer says something that's why only customers get live support and models don't.

    That's because u typed privately to a member who left ur room so now the messages wont go thru, just select to type to 'All' then it'll work.
    This is a glitch i encountered some time ago and til i figured it out i had to close my session and reopen it lol.

    I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to love this site - I really do! I do very well there when the site is working - but the other like 70% of the time I log off and go to a site that I hate just to be able to try to make SOMETHING! It's sad because this site has the potential to save my life financially but it's fucking me in the ass at the same time LOL It's to the point my regs come in and tell me if my feed is working or not - and if it's crap they just say see ya next time LOL

    Days site does well - 49-55%% in Paid chat
    Days site is garbage - 10-15% in Paid chat

    Not gonna kill my stats so I just go somewhere else unfortunately. I prefer SM atm... My regs know where to find me but I'm sure they are tired of hopping platforms to play......

    they just want free attention, any attention some of them even cut and paste that they are new to multiple rooms just to get you to talk to them
    it makes them feel "special"IMO is enough to make them stroke or get excited.
    or their little fake question "what do you think of ___? or where are you from?
    if they dont want to go private they cant waste our time on a pay per min site IMO
    just like they "have no sound please type" just a way to get you to talk to them. most of the time its not true they just want you to give them 1 on 1 attention
    without paying.
    i just block them if they come back a few times and dont go private or are trying to get attention for free.
    i currently have almost 800 blocked users (and counting) in less than 6 months on this account.
    also though i think it depends on your traffic to your room, if you have limited traffic you may need to push harder to try to convert these attention seekers
    regardless of it being unlikely they will go private. just dont get sucked in to their BS. youll loose the real clients

    There is a real difference between the copy and paste/no sound bb guys and possible newbies who often do turn into “real clients”. In high traffic rooms they are often interacting with them in their own way. They are high traffic because they convert people into signing up, giving them prime placement on the main site and the white labels. I personally like being a guy’s first show on the site.
    Protip, get them to tip a buck and look at their customer number. Gives you an idea, barring it being a new account of how long they have been on the site. To each their own, there is no guide on how to hustle; just that you are hustling the whole time.

    There truly is a brand new set of clientele out there right now. We have all lived through a life altering event. People of all ages and wealth levels are trying out cam, I have seen it! Train them to be the clients you want them to be.

    Thanks
    I had that issue a few months ago & was losing pvts right and left because Murphys Law I got a bunch of guys going pvt who didn't have audio :/. Some guys tried multiple times. Nothing fixed it but it went away after a few days. I could type like normal in free chat.
