    Default SM Ladies! What % do you spend in paid?

    OK, I have to admit, I LOVE the new "% in paid chat" feature. I also love the fact that you can see how much time you have spent online, but that is neither here nor there.

    And now I am interested - what are your percentages? We all hate those annoying "how much do you make" threads, because (as has been repeated a bajillion times) you could answer that question, but it would be utterly useless. Saying "I make $1000 a week" has no useful contextual data - doesn't take into account how much you charge, how often you are on, how long you have been camming, how many sites you are working, etc etc etc. But % of time in paid chat, I feel, is actually a pretty decent marker for us to make comparisons, motivate ourselves if we are doing less than others, or feel all proud if our percentages are high.

    So - have a skim over your past few weeks, and lets compare! What % of time are you spending in paid? If you want to mention how long you have been camming, I personally would find it helpful (based on the idea that the longer you are doing this, the better you do) but no pressure to divulge your entire life story..

    Right now, I am averaging around 30% of my time in paid... I kinda feel like that sucks! However, having looked back at my actual amount of time that I have been on...I have been really not working very much at ALL!! I made a little schedule to aim for 20-30 hours per week, and I knew I wasn't hitting it. What I didn't really realise till I did some math, was that I was barely hitting HALF of that most weeks....so for only wandering online about 10hours a week and on absolutely NO regular schedule, meh, it aint that bad, I guess!

    It goes back to December from what I can see, and I'm averaging 70-72% in paid chat. That's better than I'd have guessed, but my hours online per week are less than I thought. I'm glad we have this now.

    This week: 58%.

    Shocking to see past months though - it's been anything from like 18% to 85%!

    I started working SM from early October 2011 and have been working there every other week.

    I think this data is going to vary greatly between those who do Gold Shows and those that do not. The reason is, of you do a Gold Show the time spent in paid chat is added for every person who joins. Example: I did three gold shows last night and therefore my "chat time" on my earnings page (aka "paid time" on the daily online time page) is showing 9+ hours of "paid chat" time.

    Either way, I seem to be averaging 43-50% with days as low as 29% and some as high as 80%.

    I do think this will end up being realitive tho as much as anything else because it's going to matter how long you were online overall. If you work lots of hours your percent in paid might be lower, even tho you are possibly making more than someone with less hours and a higher percentage.

    I just switched from MFC to Streamate and my what a difference!! To answer your question this week so far working 65% in paid I won't tell you what my total earnings are because I think it's in poor taste but let's just say I could stop dancing if I wished and I live in Vegas.

    This is why using this number alone to compare ourselves is not going to do much but make some feel like they are doing better and some feel like they suck!

    Here is an easy way to look at it that one could easily assume:
    The longer you are online, the smaller your percentage of time overall in paid BUT the more you probably made.
    The shorter you are online, the higher your percentage of time overall in paid BUT the less you probably made.

    Obviously that's a generalization but my point is, just because you see someone with a higher percentage than you, don't assume they are "doing better" than you are. Nor should one assume that if your percentage is higher that you are "doing better" than everyone else.

    It is all realitive. This should be the slogan for camming.

    You are absolutely correct! At least the percentages are a slightly better way of comparing than just "what do you make a week/hour/etc etc".

    Athough it may be better if I could just convince myself to stop comparing myself to everyone else all the time! Easier said than done....

    I'm interested in looking at this gold show thing.

    -You set a gold show goal of $200 and a 15 minute countdown.
    -There's a buy-in of $10 for a 15 minute show.
    -That means you have, at most, 20 guys in your show. Just making round numbers.
    -You don't make it the first or second time. But you do make it your third time, just as the time runs out.

    -You just spent 45 minutes in free chat.
    -You are going to spend 15 min in your gold show.
    -Equals 25% paid chat time.

    If you count each guy's time separately, that is: 20 x 15 = 300 min paid
    45 min free chat & 300 min paid chat = 667% paid chat time

    So, yes, if you compare you "chat time" on the "Earnings Summary" to your "Online" time in the Daily Time Summary, you have a very skewed picture. But the "Paid" time on the Earnings Summary is ONLY counting the total time you are being paid.

    Otherwise, you'll end up with some very unrealistic numbers. And I think maybe that was one of the points to this. When you're just doing regular shows all day, if you have more than one guy in the room, your time counts more than once... but only on the original report. On this new report, it's overall numbers.

    Someone correct my math if I'm wrong.

    So far this week I have 321 minutes online. My paid chat average is only 43% this week BUT, that's because I've been doing mainly Gold shows. So, I have actually sold 39hours and 14 minutes of paid time according to my earnings page.
    The one day I did privates/exc only last week I was at 80%
    Gold shows screw up the % because so much time is spent in countdowns

    ^ That makes a lot more sense.

    It actually makes a case for lower goals (in some cases) and possibly cancelling shows altogether and just doing privates if it looks like you're gonna have to do a bunch of countdowns and maybe still not make it.

    But its still a plus if ur precent in pay chat is high no matter if ur on long or not because ur actual TIME spent was mainly making money.

    I posted this on the other thread but I figured I'd add it here too....

    It appears that on the "My Earnings" page it is calculating your "Chat Time" by adding up all the time in chat, PLUS every single person in a gold show.... so 10min gold show x 10 guys = 100 mins in paid chat.

    BUT...

    It appears that on the "Daily Time Online" page it is NOT counting every single person in the show, so instead it is seeing that 10min gold show x 10 guys = 10 mins in paid chat.

    So in terms of the percentage, it actually is going to accurately display the percentage by only counting the gold show one time. It's just weird that the earnings page counts the gold show as every single person who joins. They have the same information being shown two different ways, I guess.

    Looking over the last month I have had a consistent average of 38-60% everyday. That's a lot better than I thought it was!

    Potential food for thought here ...

    We have previously discussed the fact that it costs webcam hosts the same X dollars per hour to provide web hosting and video stream bandwidth for camgirls, regardless of how much 'revenues' the camgirl was able to generate during that hour via paid sales.

    As such, there is some percentage of paid sales figure that equates to the webcam host 'breaking even' i.e. a particular camgirl's hourly paid sales percentage kept by the webcam host equalling the actual costs to the webcam host of providing web hosting and video stream bandwidth for that camgirl. In terms of wild guesswork plus previous experience operating my own streaming video server, I'd say that the 'break even' percentage probably falls somewhere around 25% for a large webcam host company.

    The fact that webcam hosts are starting to keep track of percentage of paid sales statistics may very well be a prelude to webcam hosts 'cutting' camgirls whose paid sales percentage consistently falls below the 'break even' point versus costs to the webcam host of providing webcam hosting and ( mostly free chat ) video stream bandwidth to that camgirl.

    At present, the 'losses' to the webcam host created by marginal camgirls whose paid sales percentage is less than 25% are being heavily subsidized by other camgirls whose paid sales percentages are 50%+.

    Or put another way, if a webhost were to 'cut' all camgirls whose average paid sales percentage consistently fell below 25%, the webcam host could afford to raise the percentage payout to remaining camgirls significantly - with both the webcam host and the higher performing camgirls earning more money in the process !!! In addition, by 'lightening the load' on the webcam host's servers and internet backbone connection via 'cutting' the video streams of camgirls whose paid sales average less than 25%, webcam video stream performance problems would be 'cured' for the remaining camgirls - plus the webcam host could avoid having to invest millions of additional dollars to upgrade streaming server and internet backbone bandwidth capacity.

    Just a potential insight that the webcam hosts calculations of percentage of paid sales statistics may have more purposes than simply providing additional info on the camgirl's account information page !!! If your average percentage of paid sales figure has consistently fallen below 25%, it might be worth be worth some extra effort to try and raise that percentage ... before carrying a low average percentage of paid sales figure actually brings on future consequences ( like 'forced' retirement ) !!!
