    Default LJ Worth sticking around?

    So I just went to close down my account on LJ which I opened months ago and never used, and i thought what the heck let's stick on my cam and see what happens. I'm sat here in no makeup, my clothes drying behind me and my pj's on haha. I angled the cam down at my (clothed)boobs and made no effort whatsoever. Randomly and suprisingly i got pvts almost immediately. I only made $13 in 20 mins, but that's not too bad if i were just using the site while splitcamming. I'm wondering if it's worth keeping around and just sticking freechat on till the mandatory 240 mins is up, then setting it to the lowest price and continuing to use as a backup for splitting? I've heard they take an age to pay tho and if so it won't be worth it for me.

    When you are first time on, your charge is .98 ct a minute. All the loosers run for that and you probably will never see them again when you charge a normal rate.
    Further the chargebacks on LJ are very annoying, just as on IM.

    Oh i know, that's why i never bothered using my account. I only signed up around the time they had that big new promotion on "earn 80%" then everyone realized it was a big fat lie lol.

    Chargebacks plus waiting an entire month for pay is what made me quit running it in the background. I can't see how they think it's okay to hold a paycheck for that long.

    I just don't have the patience to wait that long to be paid. Hell, the site could go under and I could have donated an entire month of work for nothing.

    Livejasmin is good for getting the payoneer card. They pay for it, so you can get it for free except if you live in certain countries (only like 7-8 I think). You don't even have to stream or earn money with them. No activation fee no nothing.

    I already have payoneer set up as my payment method. So do i still have to wait or is that quicker? And how can i tell how much time I've spent on cam so far? there doesn't seem to be anywhere that shows that. Woo up to $20 for ignoring ppl so far lol

    They pay every 2weeks (1st & 15th), and they are late by 3weeks. Looooooong-ass waiting and it cannot be lifted like on SM.

    LJ has peak periods and then sloooooow periods for me, sometimes i'll get 10 privates when I log on and then none. The one that sucks is how slowwwww payment is. Good luck!

    there is $100 min payout on LJ and if you havent cleared it you arent gettting paid. You make 0.98 min until you break what $150 profits? The guys DEMAND toy shows. I canceled my account and made a new one in hot flirt because I am not plugging myself for 0.98 min. I do like the site though and you get decent tips in hot flirt category. but then again, $100 min payout. not worth it!

    Ahh psh they can demand all they want but they ain't getting it haha. I don't care about ratings as I literally am only looking for sites i can mop up the pennies on while i split with others. I think LJ would be ok for that if they had a paid chat only option. Not exactly sure what member chat only is.. some have said it's where they can only see your pic and need to pay to go pvt, others have said it's basically like normal sm free chat where they CAN see you, but all have credit cards registered.

    Member chat is indeed for member with CC only, they cannot see you there.
    You can only cam in HD with old Firefox (Please note that Firefox version 3.6 and above do not support Performer Optimum) so for splitcam it is not really usefull.
    Under the info button you can find their "sanction rules" That really pissed me off.

    I didn't want to start a whole new LJ thread jus for this I guess it fits in here: So this is what I got from them today:

    "Dear ,
    We're pleased to inform you about our new program: Jasmin Protection. When we began, we wanted to find a new way to reward our performers, such as you, for their hard work by offering extra protection for their earnings.

    This program has been designed to defend your income from chargebacks which usually happen after payments made with fraudulently obtained Credits. In the future, if we are forced to deal with such issues, it will not affect your earnings in any way - as long as you are under Jasmin Protection.

    In order to be protected, you only need to reach the third level (Famous) in the Level Dependent Payment system for two consecutive periods and by following the Performer Rules in LiveJasmin.com. As a reminder, please read more about the Performer Rules here:
    http://performercenter.livejasmin.co...ment_rules.php

    See your current status in Jasmin Protection here: http://performercenter.livejasmin.com/protection.php

    If you have any questions or comments, please contact us by sending a message to [email protected] or by accessing the "Messages" menu in your account.

    Sincerely,

    the LiveJasmin Support Team"

    I checked famous lvl means making 300+ in a pay period. So basically if you make above 300 dollars in 2 pay periods, your earnings can be protected from cbs and the site says once you are protected you will always be protected even if you go on holidays or anything. So far sounds good. I wonder if it has any tricks, like the "OMGF we raise the payout % (but actually lower it if you make little money only and you have to start all over in every payperiod)"

    I have a feeling you need to maintain making over 300 in each pay period to maintain this status. Making only twice over 300 consecutively and then you can slack and be chargebackless sounds too easy for me to believe. This needs to be clarified.

    This is what it actually says if I log in:

    It says we "only" have to follow the rules to stay protected. They are very strict btw, like no asking for tips for "services", no tits at all, if your cam is pointed on the ceiling for 30 seconds they immediately jump at you, for not being on cam yadayada. Maybe that's where they are planning to fuck us up. I don't work on LJ but I kept my account and now I'm considering split camming it, cause if I can reach the 300 twice, there won't be cbs and free chat is not mandatory. (But I guess traffic is horrible without free chat, and some girls said they couldn't even reach the 100 dollar pay out minimum there...) I have no idea, anyone currently working LJ and have some information?

    Wowwww @ that LJ Protection crap. Basically, they're saying that if you don't earn enough, your money means crap and you don't deserve to be protected from shitty customers who want their money back. Fuck LJ. I did it for one day, for as long as it took for that stupid intro rate to run out that they use to rob us on our first day. Never. Ever. Again.

    Plus, their customers are some of the most volatile, rude, and insane people I've ever seen as a collective group. They make SM customers look normal as shit in comparison; like little choir boys. From what I can tell, unless you came there as a porn star or big name already, you are pretty much going to take abuse for pennies and fight for traffic with the thousands of performers on there. I hate their % structure, too. That was a dumbass idea they came up with to rob us even further. Fuck my pussy for 30% of that huuuge $.98 intro rate? No fucking thanks, LJ! I am kicking ass on MFC and have only used toys like 3 times. Much better than dildoing myself until my vag falls off.

    Rant over lol. OP, I can't say if it's worth sticking around, but I can say that I have not yet met a girl here on SW who does well on LJ. I don't mean well, like $30/night well. I mean decent, livable, well. LJ looks like it is completely set up to fuck over those who don't make much. I'm not feelin' it. Just my two cents ; )

    Well on the one hand you're right but on the other at least they are offering it without the "we're gonna deduct an additional 10% for backing up your cbs" "you won't get cbs if you are a TOP earner AND spend 50%+ of your time in free chat" blablabla. So the possibility of having no chargebacks is there at least, and I like that.

    I'm looking for splitcam sites, and actually this made LJ somewhat interesting, cause in the worst case, I make 30%, same as on ImLive, but LJ has more possibilities for more %s and this no charge back option, which is easier to achieve and maintain than on ImLive... now they should look into their slow-ass payouts as a next step.

    Let's start from here: they should protect us from charge backs. All this is its just a desperate attempt to make girls stay on long hours to make them more money. From this standpoint the charge back protection is simple blackmail.

    And comparing LJ to Imlive to the point of:" hey at least it's better than imlive, the worst of the worst," it's not endearing one bit.

    If they really want performers dedicating more time, hence earning more, they need to come up with something better, sorry. Next!

    I'm not trying to persuade anyone to run to LJ and make it their main site, because I know pretty well their disadvantages. I simply thought that splitcamming-wise this info might be useful for some people, since it's a non mandatory free chat site and having no charge backs is actually something positive. Even if every single site should protect us from CBs, most of them don't do it, so yeah.

    +I simply compared it to a usual split cam site. I could compare it to cams's 29%+cbs or some others non-paying at all or whatever, simply ImLive was the first that came into my mind. All have their advantages and disadvantages, I think LJ just added an advantage.

    "but I can say that I have not yet met a girl here on SW who does well on LJ."
    hehe then I'm the first one I used to make good money on there when it was my main site. I only had problem with cb-s and rude costumers in free chat.
    You're right, MFC has better traffic and less beggars, and you don't have to do as much hardcore stuff as on LJ for more money and less time.
    I wouldn't say that LJ is not worth sticking around, every girl is different, it's true that on SW most girls don't like LJ and prefer SM. For me SM is extramely dead and I don't have any paying traffic there plus I only get 30% on SM because I'm from East-Europe, and I think it's discrimination.

    Hi all. I started out on LiveJasmin 2 weeks ago and I'm wondering if it's really that bad? I have been getting privates pretty regularly when I'm in free chat. I leveled up to 35% this period after 3 1/2 hours. I'm a MTF TS so that may be the reason because there's just fewer of us online and we're kind of a niche. The main issue I'm worried about is the payment and the complaints seem to be about LJ being slow to pay. I'm actually okay with slow payment if the checks are bigger, but I'm more worried about non-payment. Does LJ ever cheat on payment or fail to pay? (Excluding the $100 minimum.)
