I have noticed a lot of post lately regarding ditching the big sites and going indy, I thought that I would start this thread to offer the newbies some advice, and hope that maybe some of you other indy ladies can post some of your tips here too.
Here are a few to get the post started. (These are suggestions that work for me, but may not work for everyone.)
1 ) Work on sites that allow you to promote your website or link back to an indy profile of some sort. (MFC will allow this)
2 ) Only give your yahoo ID to PAYING customers. If a client tries to add you without having purchased a show, politely explain to him that you only add clients who have purchased a show from you. If he gets offended... you dont want him, he is a time waster.
3 ) Be short and sweet at first contact. Welcoming, warm, yet no bullshit at the same time... have patience, it is a bit of a different ball game with indy, but you will soon be able to spot "buying" questions vs "time wasting" questions. - Write out a list of answers to all the mundane questions that you answer every day "FAQ" of sorts, and direct your client there if he is asking too many questions, and you are unsure if he is a buyer or not.
4 ) I personally will NOT do a free preview. I will link them to a profile that has me listed as a verrified cam girl, show them a preview video etc. However a lot of models will at least turn on cam, and do something "anything" so that the viewer knows you are real. Tell him before hand that he gets 15 seconds. That is plenty of time.
5 ) Once that client pays DO NOT FORGET TO ADD HIM TO MESSENGER. - It is very important to always keep track of your paying clients. When you have a bill due, you just go down the list.
6 ) keep notes about clents on your messenger. (yahoo has a notes section)
7 ) When you arent working, tell a client you are already booked up for the day. Ask him if he would like to book a show for tomorrow. there is a $10 deposit for show bookings. This creates the illusion that you are very popular and makes the guy feel that he needs to "Book you" Bringing you in a gaurenteed show tomorrow, and if he doesnt show, you just got a free $10.
8 ) When you know your big spenders arent around, and you arent really looking for a show anyway, message them and tell them that you cant stop thinking about something that happened during your last show. Make him feel like he REALLY turns you on, and that YOU feel LUCKY to have found such a sexy guy to cam with. Guys LOVE to be adored, and him feeling that you WANT him... will bring him back to YOU over the other girls, everytime.
That is all that i can think of for now, but if anyone ever has questions for me, feel free to hit my pm box or reply to this thread.
What are some of your indy tricks?
XO!
