    Default Kicking myself in the foot?

    I have a dilema - I'm scared my low upload speed is making my shows really shit quality when i multi cam, & i'll eventually lose my main site regulars because of it. I'm loathe to give up the extra income, but also loathe to fuck up my hard earned good cred. Has anyone gone back to just their main site after splitting, or on the other hand decided to sacrifice quality for the extra income? How did it work out?

    No way at all to increase your internet speed? How fast is your upload, currently?

    0.37, no possible way other than satellite (too much latency so discounted), and phone network/ dongle which i'm using (gives me up to 1.60) but not improving my streaming at all

    honestly that speed is barely enough to run ONE site. I would never attempt multiple sites until you can get a higher upload.

    Same speed here. Wish I could split, but it's not happening. :-(

    So you guys think I should go back to only my main site? I am splitting already and making extra bc of i so it's not that I can't split, just the feed is bad

    I would say that feed is bad = can't split.

    Come on Virgin, get your fucking act together!!

    Ehhhhh... now I am starting to see it from a different angle...

    If your splitting is making you more $, keep doing it. Take care of the bottom line.

    I seem to have missed you saying you are making more splitting, sorry. Well, if you are making more and nobody is complaining, maybe it's not that bad.

    That's very slow. I wouldn't even work on SM with that speed.

    If you're dropping guys mid-show or people are complaining, I can understand your concern for your long-term income (because of damage to your reputation as having a "quality" feed).

    So I'd say: you need to weigh the benefit of making more money on multiple sites with the detriment to your current customer base and whether or not they'll stick around when other models have better feed. However, if you're making most of your money off of one-time custies and not worried about regulars, if you think you can get a better connection soon, or if you're not worried about camming in the longterm, I'd say just keep doing what you're doing.

    Or maybe you'll notice a dip in your income and then you can change what you're doing? There are so many variables to camming. Are people complaining? Are you not getting return customers? AND are you going to not get paid by the site? I mean, if you're working on a site where they don't pay you if they don't detect that the customer is receiving your stream, you could lose money and not even know if unless you're timing your shows. (Ex: guy is in your show for 2 min but only charged for 1.5 min b/c your connection was so slow the site didn't detect it the whole time)

    Split cam Susie - work on Paid chat only ( no free chat sites ) , when you get a show , quickly close down all the other places you're splitting to and concentrate only on the paying customer - if you get 2 shows at once ( it happens ) take the site that pays the biggest % first , quickly tell the other guy to come back in 20 mins . It's like a compromise , you can split while waiting - but then when you get someone paying, reward them with your steady stream Then the only guys who can complain about your cam are paying, and by the time they're paying, you're not splitting.

    This is what I used to do when I had shitty internet ! I feel your pain , lord on that upload , you'd be better renting a bedsit and getting cable fired in just to cam on !

    edit* - I wouldn't take both the guys together ( if that was your question ) , because I think what you worry will happen , will happen ...... It's quite likely that while you're splitting between these 2, only 1 sees you clearly at a time, while you're cams staggering between the two - especially if guys are complaining - In the end they will get pissed and start seeing someone else . It's also very likely that they won't advise you that this is going to happen , as it's not so romantic/erotic to tell you how much they like you , but they're going to find a girl with a better upload speed ...... What's more likely is , they will slowly filter away when they realise how clear/fast they can have it elsewhere! Split away to catch the fish though , but don't get too greedy , fill the net too full of fish , and it will break leaving you with none :-) - did you like that ? I thought of that myself !!! lol xx

    I would consider splitcamming with a main (free chat) site and then paid only sites, rather than trying to actively stream to more than one at once....So you could keep up AW (without the free chat stuff), MGF, etc etc, and then you would only ever be streaming to one site...ideally, you would want to fix that speed issue, but when you can't, you can't! I just wouldn't try to do multiple free chats or shows at once...it would probably degrade the feed too much, and you could have issues with cutting out, which would NOT get you a happy customer.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.
