    Default i just need to rant....

    my birthday is friday and ive been advertising it on my twitter which has 3000 followers for the past month. not a single one of my regulars or fans have got me anything. its depressing. i go out of my way to even offer these guys a free video as a thank you if they get me something even as cheap as 10 bucks and still nothing and im always posting freebie pics on my twitter for fans.

    i thought i had a decent fan base but apparently it is shit. i guess thats what happens when you work on a shit site for most of your cam career and then switch to a quality site 2 months before a birthday.

    im really starting to believe that twitter is worthless for me, especially now that im on streamate and i cant advertise it, i can only advertise my link on twitter and if these guys dont want a video for getting me something for my birthday i highly doubt they would bother going to my affiliate link and buying a show.

    im done posting any freebies on twitter. no more nude pics, everythings getting blurred out. grr..

    Ah, don't sweat it. Every day can be your birthday if you want it to be. As in, don't think you only deserve gifts two days out of the year.

    Although twitter is hit or miss as far as advertising, it's awesome for networking so don't give up on it yet. Expand your influence as far as camming goes. The more exposure you have, the better (unless you're someone who's doing the stealth thing. Disregard if that's the case). I would also cut back on the freebies. Make it a gratis type thing.

    ive also recently completely changed my cam dynamic, that could be why as well. ive went to being almost exclusively Domme for my cam sessions. im much happier in my camming but changing your persona can be tricky business. ive only ever had 3 guys buy me gifts, but man did they make up for the rest of the population who wasnt buying. one of those has since moved on, the other hasnt made a purchase yet, and i dont know if he will.

    this birthday near xmas thing sucks, i may just move it to july next year and see if anyone notices. haha.

    You can see what's been purchased off other girls' wishlists. Cam girls, porn stars, etc. don't really get much purchased off their wishlist. Even really popular ones. Guys always want something in return... so most guys only really purchase things in exchange for free merchandise or if you're a domme. That's what I've noticed. Most guys would rather just buy shows or tip you.

    Most girls purchase off their own wishlist then picture it as if a client bought it for them. I know of one who does this all the time, she fucks up when she tweets I just ordered.... a few days later pictures saying my fans love me.
    Please dont feel bad.

    Post an amazingly happy tweet on Friday thanking all your fans for all the amazing gifts and be super happy about it and mention all the free photos and videos they're getting as a thank you.

    1. You don't want to let your clients ever see you down.
    2. Some of these fuckwits need positive reinforcement.

    Not a single one of my twitter fans has ever bought a cam show from me LOL. I think it's pretty useless other than for creating buzz/ making your name known

    LOL I totally noticed that too. There are a few girls who do it. Guys who buy off my wishlist (I removed my shipping address) go pick something out, then tell me they need my address & I say oh its complicated just buy me an e-giftcard and I'll order it now and they usually do. They usually do it in exchange for skype shows or merchandise though.

    I've never really gotten alot of requests from guys for b-day gift suggestions, granted, I've never done a wishlist but still...
    In 3 years the one wicked prez I got was a Chicharito jersey (my fav ManU player) from a really close friend/customer, but aside from that b-day 'gifts' have always been tips and guys who make a point of booking me that day, which I actually prefer by FAR
    I think Glamour and Latin are 1000% right about the wishlist hype, so don't feel discouraged. When I briefly considered doing an amazon wishlist I checked out the wishlists of a few high profile cam-chicas, and using the 'buyers who purchased this also like abc' tool it seemed like really inexpensive items like nailpolish and stockings were the most frequent customer purchases. I'm not saying that there aren't exceptional customers who do buy bigger ticket items, but from my albeit cursory research that didn't appear to be the norm

    I'm kinda wary of the whole twitter thang...none of my existing customers use it so I definitely question how effective it will be as a tool to gaining new customers (and screw giving out free pics!!!) but also realize that since you've only recently altered your target audience, it'll take a minute to build up a new base of really great guys who WILL wanna help make your b-day special, without incentive.

    If you and tinydancer aren't around on Friday, I wish ya both a wonderful and happy b-day

    Honestly I would rather have them spend money by giving me a nice tip or buying a long private session. Gifts seem a bit too personal to me. They don't seem to ever gift anything without expecting a lot of free attention in return.

    If you get a few good sugar daddies on MFC guys will buy stuff of your wishlist. They get really possessive and moody most of the time though about it all so I don't care. I got an Xpole, wireless keyboard and mouse, and c910 out of them. Now I'm done with that shit. I deleted my twitter too. I'm working on a site right now so then I will have one again. but I've noticed that Twitter really was just kind of a drama catty fest for other models to be jealous and shit rather than a marketing effort if you are not indy and just working for major network sites like myself.

    Don't feel bad. Happy Birthday Ladies!! Actually Im not really big on the wish list idea. Still not ok with the city and state thing and I think that's why many men ask if you have one. Why offer to buy me something when you can't even do a private or tip? Seriously it's another way for someone to dig for shit they shouldn't know in the first place. Also something goes wrong and they need to return something and your return address may pop up. Way too dangerous. Fuck your tax write off , Give me tokens!

    Get tokens and buy yourself something nice. Always works for me!

    THIS x 100!!!

    I know that tons of cam girls have wish lists, but I don't. One reason is that, a while ago, when I posted the link to my Amazon wish list on my MFC profile, it was still showing my real name and location, even after I had deleted that info, changed it, and saved it. I had to quickly remove that link from my MFC profile before anyone could see it. I was like 'FUCK that shit...guys can send me an e-gift card or tip if they really wanna put a smile on my face.'

    Another reason is that I've heard stories of problems with shipping, and then Amazon showing the buyer a copy of the invoice which shows the address the gift was shipped to.

    Sure, it's probably unlikely to happen, but still, I'll pass on the wish list thing.

    I don't understand the guys who haven't spent much time in your chat (who haven't talked much and haven't spent much) who suddenly ask "Do you have a wish list?" Then when you kindly tell them no, but that you accept e-gift cards, they'll speak no more about it. LOL. Hmmm.....

    Yes, I know that some guys just prefer to buy specific items for you, but if they're serious about "putting a smile on your face" without expecting something in return, wouldn't they just send the e-gift card like you prefer? An e-gift card, no matter how small or large the amount is, would definitely put a smile on my face.

    A few Christmases ago I advertised Skype shows for every e-gift card purchase, but I'm not gonna do that anymore. A Christmas gift to me should be just that...a GIFT. I will, however, send a sexy pic of me wearing a Santa hat and Christmas themed outfit.

    Sorry to hear that, crispy.

    If you're on MFC, maybe on Thursday AND Friday you can include "MY B-DAY IS FRIDAY!" in your room topic and MFC profile. Also include it in your Twitter profile, and have *MY B-DAY IS FRIDAY!* at the end of all of your Thursday and Friday tweets.

    I've noticed that a lot of Twitter followers are guys who visit chat but never spend. That's fine and all, though I can't help but HOPE they'll consider spending on me in the future. LOL. I think I've had a guy or two ask me if I participate in the Titty Tuesday/Thong Thursday thing, and no, I don't. I've always thought that it's just giving guys sexy pics to jack off to for FREE...*shrugs* I'm curious...do any of you ladies here feel that you benefit from Titty Tuesdays/Thong Thursdays?

    Happy birthday to the birthday girls!

    I participate in the tittytuesday thing and I find it to be a great marketing tool. I upload the photo through MPP and they usually retweet them (not all the time, but sometimes they do) and I always gain many new followers.
    I've been playing around with google analytics in my C4S store and I found that Twitter is quite good for bringing traffic, the majority of my traffic comes from C4S itself, the second is my blog and the third is Twitter. And it's good traffic too, because the traffic from my blog is shit, they spend an average time of a whopping 0:03 on the site...but Twitter's numbers are much better.
    It's not bad for marketing and getting your name out there but you have to participate like crazy and put in a lot of time. I do think that it's worth it, though I'm quite new in the game

    I have a wishlist on AW and have only ever recieved one gift in the 3 years I've been there. I do offer a free 10 min Skype show for gifts over £50 but it doesn't work and tbh I much prefer the money lol. As for Twitter I'm still awaiting a response to my second suspension Grrrrr If I get my account back and it gets suspended a third time I'll delete it!

    First I thought you were saying that I'm using someone else's photos as mine, lol! Then I did an extensive google search and finally I think I know what you mean! The avatar is totally me though, I do love those guys, yummyumm (I think I have a hair fetish). (And that's a great movie too!)

    Back to topic, I don't have a wishlist because I'm not sure about the delivery costs to my country (who pays them, is it worth it in the end....) And I have many things to pimp out or research at the moment, so I just pretend that I'm not interested at all and I don't need a wishlist (in the meantime I'm very jealous and I do want one!)

    Crispy, I don't have anything useful to say, but
