If they still pester me for anything after they know my rules, I just block them. Good luck, don't give up.
    Thank you Can I ask where you set up a free website? I don't want to start paying too much for a website yet until I know I will be able to make it pay off for me, but if there is a decent place I can make one, embed a few videos, and accept my payment through it with CCBill or something, that would be great

I nicknamed yesterday "Bestiality Monday" because I had three separate guys ask me if I do animal porn. Fucking disgusting.
    I like this idea, so I sent Mark a message over Skype and he said he could add that to his info page, it's a start, yay I will put the message I sent him, and if any of you other girls have anything else you want to add to it, you can reply here or contact mark if you are affiliated with him and his site.

    Message I sent - Things like that it would be helpful for us girls for them to put in their request that they found us on your site, that they understand we do this as professional independent cam girls and that this is our business Skypes, not to ad the models to troll us or beg and especially to not call without payment being processed, stuff like that has been the biggest issues with the girls I have talked with
    I'm sure there are guys that are still going to do it and it comes with the job, but it might help weed out some of the time wasters.

    I am sure there are more things we can add, but that is the biggest concerns I can think of for now.

    Tumblr is awesome for building a website. It's a built in social network, too. Find a theme that you can customize that allows you to have static pages. The Fluid Neue theme is good.

    I agree with domino, I decline add requests from some countries ( but my black list is a bit different)
    Avoid all poor countries, and those that don't even have credit cards ( check their profiles before accepting them, click on View profile, some of them don't have their country listed, so to avoid losing a good customer I accept him)
    Another thing, don't forget to write down all nicknames of your paying customers as skype may close your account sometimes, if you receive a lot of friend requests per day or if an asshole report you saying that you are spamming ) it happened to me twice

    It's also good to keep a list of the names of anyone who's aksed for anything illegal, or has come off as abusive. You never know if you may need that information one day.

    DaisyD, I use http://wix.com but I'd like to switch since flash loads slowly on computers without high speed internet. I've heard most people use wordpress, but like domino said, it seems tumblr would be quicker/easier to begin with. It would be a lot more basic though.

    Wix is good for certain things, like photography portfolios. Keep in mind that sometimes people have trouble viewing Flash on their smartphones, so Wix websites look funky. I wouldn't recommend Wix to anyone for what we do. But.. I also haven't used Wix in a few years, so maybe they aren't entirely Flash-based anymore.

    No, you're right, it is all flash based. They give you the option to create a mobile site but it's basically just a plain background with plain text and you can add images - but it's pretty lame.

    I didn't think about all this before I built my entire super cute site haha. I want to figure out a plan to switch over to wordpress without losing the design aspects. It seems so tedious... If anyone has done this before let me know how it went.

    Since it's Flash-based, you'll have to find a theme that works with Flash (that probably won't be free, if that's an issue) to avoid losing the design. But the whole purpose of Wix is that you drag and drop stuff instead of write code, so I'm not sure if you have the ability to export any of the code. It's been a long time since I've worked with Wix though, so I might be talking out of my ass. Wordpress is pretty easy to set up, though.

    I made a website with intuit websites and while I can't get paid through there I use Payoneer but its great for marketing because I linked all my other sites to it EASILY. my business has doubled on ELM since I made this page. I pump it on Twitter, Tumblr and Skype. When guys ask me for a free preview on skype I say NO then give them my website so they can 'see' me. You can replace all the stock photos with your pics and even add videos.
    It keeps a visitor tracker and guest book. Plus it was utterly free.

    Hey guys, I just got a message from Mark, who runs Cammodeldirectory.com He can't post here (silly no peens rule) so he's asked me to convey this for him:

    All of the models on CamModelDirectory have been verified before they are allowed to place an ad on the site. There is no need to ask for a preview because CamModelDirectory reviews all ads to ensure the photos used in the ad are actual photos of the model.

    None of the models on CamModelDirectory will accept Paypal as payment for their services. Using Paypal as a payment method for adult services is a violation of Paypal's acceptable use policy and may lead the cancellation of the account and loss of funds in the account.
    [3:35:33 PM] Mark (http://CamModelDirectory.Com Creator): i don't know if it has made any difference of not, but it has been there for a few weeks now.

    Default Skype shows and payment methods

    Hello ladies

    I am pretty sure that this topic already came up somewhere on this forum, but - I can't find the answers I'm looking for, I've even tried googling this thing and I didn't find answeres that I needed.
    So, a lot of my regulars are now talking about Skype shows (I know how dangerous that can be, chargerbacks, etc.). And now I'm really thinking about doing that. My concern aren't chargerbacks or that I'm not going to get my money, my main concerns are:

    1.) My privacy - someone who wants to pay me through PayPal needs all of my personal information (my name, address, etc.)
    2.) Having to pay fines to PayPal - because we all know that PayPal punishes those who don't follow the rules.

    So... My question to you is - how do you get your money from your custies? Through which service? Is it through PayPal? If so, do you have a fake account on there?

    Please, please, please... I really need help, and I'm asking you - lovely ladies - to help me if you can and know how. I would really appreciate it.

    And any other information about Skype shows is more than welcome
    Thank you in advance.

    Default Re: Skype shows and payment methods

    I do my Skype shows through cammodeldirectory.com. They have their own payment processor that you use and you get 75%-80% of what you make. They cover chargebacks in most cases as well. It's the safest way I've found to do Skype shows and I do pretty well there.

    ETA: NEVER use PayPal for adult transactions. But that's been covered on this forum many times if you read through it.

    I do very few offsite shows, but those I have done, I ask for an Amazon Gift Card as payment. That way I know the money is mine as soon as they send it, and since my skype shows are sort of one-offs and rare I just have been using the money to upgrade my equipment.

    Bitcoin is your best bet. I also use Amazon Giftcards, Giftrocket, Squarecash, Moneypak, Gyft.com giftcards (if they HAVE to use paypal. They also accept bitcoin) and I use cammodeldirectory. Just make sure all your payments clear before doing a show as some are not instant.

    I've been wondering how to set up bitcoin on my site, but I feel so overwhelmed! I have looked it up, and it seems like most of the tutorials very complicated and catered towards businesses. Is there any way a less knowledge-able girl could get started?

    my site is an option you may wanna check out, besides being a payment processing option there's some info there on the tech aspects of skype camming that you may find helpful if you (or your clients) are not all that familiar with it

    Verotel is a pay processor that is adult friendly and accepts bitcoin as one of the client payment options - you will need your own website to hook it up though.
