    When I was new I used Skype. Now occasionally, I'll raffle off a 'skype date' and its a big to-do because I dont sell my skype name or anything.
    Honestly the guys annoy the shit out of me, I have more of the 'sweet girl-next-door' persona going on for my cam time
    and it's god-awfully hard to tell them to bug-off, to stop wasting my time, etc etc and they'd get all butthurt if I didn't reply within 2 seconds.
    No thankyouuuuuuuuuu.

    It works for some, honestly I'd rather not deal with it. Also, I get a ton more privates for '1-on-1 chat time', just talking. it's nice.

    So nice to see you here, Ember! I love your camming 'mo'-- need more ladies like you here! :-) May I ask something about what you posted above? How do you decide on the Skype show duration for your $1500-in-cash guy? How far does his $ go?

    Thanks!

    I do skype for fetish shows. I refuse to do any shorter than 15 minutes and I refuse to give anyone my skype username until they paid for a show. I ban anyone who whines or thinks I am too expensive. haha. I do see skype as a hassle from hell, but I got few great regulars. One sweet guy wants a show couple times a week (or three!) with me and he found me on MFC. This guy even watches his time going up and nicely says thank you and see you later, than dragging me around for more time. He even respects that I do not talk in skype at all, just a wham and bam and done.

    For the payments, I started using giftrocket and I fucking love it. So simple and fast. Sucks that its for americans only, so I just ask the custie where he is from. From there, I will know which payment to offer him (giftrocket for americans or payoneer for outsiders).

    I will only do a Skype show for my highest regular clientle. Preferably someone who has already spent 1K or more in prvt/exclusive with me and who I know can keep it to himself ( the site I am on will freeze your account if they catch you doing this)

    Now the simple reason that guys want us to do this is because they are trying to get you to lower your rates for them and possibly rip you off by "getting carried away". This happened to me actually and while I do love my client and we have a great time if you don't watch that clock you can easily get taken for WAY more time than he payed for, I learned this the hard way when the show went over 30 minutes :0 so if you are going to do this watch the clock ( you can do it sly like if you are worried) I suggest though ONLY for your highest VIP clients though. Common rate across the board seems to be 2-4 dollars a minute with the average being 3/min. This guy buys 45mins to an hour onsite and on Skype so that adds up but if he was onsite it would be 330 bucks where as on Skype right around 180-200 bucks so you see why your client may want to do this. Just be careful.

    What payment types do you accept if you do this? I used greendot.

    I have done a few skype shows, but don't do them as a regular event.

    The ladies have so far made some great points, so I'll try not to repeat those ones...

    The times that I do skype shows would be as a prize on MFC, or with regular and trusted clients (i.e., I have dealt with him 10 times or more, he has sent me money outside of a site or bought me gifts previously, he spends well, etc. Doing two shows on SM does NOT make someone a trusted regular!!). I will pretty much only take amazon gift cards for payment - I prefer paypal, but we all know why that's a bad idea!! (Although I will allow the occasional guy to send direct tributes through paypal, when it is not for services rendered...loophole!)

    Doing skype through MFC for tokens can be useful - especially because you don't have the issues with being potentially ripped off. For the most part, skype becomes difficult with any payment method other than amazon giftcards, because guys don't like to hang onto their junk for days at a time waiting for stuff to get to you or payments to clear!!!

    If you do decide to use skype, a couple tips:

    - Use a timer. Like an egg-timer - something that makes a LOUD noise when the time is up. Show yourself setting it at the start of the session, and then when it goes off, stop what you are doing and end the session. You can make it a little less mercenary by the way that you bring it up - you want to use it because you are going to get SO distracted having fun with him....Oh no! Time is up! We were having so much fun, but I have to go, I have five minutes to recover before I have to go! It stops you giving stuff away for free. Some guys will immediately add more money.

    - Don't leave yourself logged on - you will be inundated by guys who think you might want to talk for free. Set up appointments via e-mail or twitter, and log on 5 minutes before that time. When the show is done, log off. If everyone knows how to contact you via twitter or e-mail, you don't have to deal with them unless you want to.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    I've done a few Skype shows in exchange for Amazon gift cards.

    Skype can also be used for shows with content considered too "extreme" for most cam sites (piss, puke, menstrual, etc.), if that's how you roll.

    Default Re: Why use Skype?

    i used to do Skype LOT, actually, while making the same amount. then i got scammed, badly, so i stopped. It's just not worth it. If you use Paypal and Skype the guy can easily go to Paypal and say you never gave him his order, and if you tell paypal what it WAS that he ordered they'll terminate your account like they did mine. Asshole got a free show. He's still active on MFC so I'm curious who else he's ripped off.

    Never again, ever. If a guy ever wants to cam outside of MFC i direct him to MGF. if that's not good enough he can go pound sand.

And honestly, what guy is going to want to buy you a gift now and then wait 5-7 business days until he's able to do a show with you? If the guy's horny now your best bet of getting him to spend is getting him to pay for it now. Plus, not every girl has a wishlist. I don't. I don't want to get paid with a new dildo or lingerie, I want money! Because sadly, I can't pay rent in dildos (but can you imagine if we could?! omg). So I think your best bet for receiving skype payments is to either set up a website and add your own payment processor (expensive option, but good if you want to go indy), or instruct guys to pay you via tokens/gold/whatever through the site you're on that gives you the highest %.
    I can just imagine 'Sorry Mr/Mrs landlord/lady, I haven't got all of your rent, but here's a load of dildo's'

    I think skype is more for independent girls. I use it and have for a few years now and love it. Like others have mentioned, I use a timer, and I don't bullshit. The guys can set up an appointment, pay, and I'll log on before the time. I don't give previews and I use automatic messages for the bug a boos. Never had an issue and they know my rates before contacting me. I make more money on skype than I would per min on a per min site. I do however give them an option to use one of my 3 per minute platforms though. I charge the same all over, don't low ball for anyone.

    Bumping useful thread.

    I've been getting inundated with "skype?" requests and one guy last night kept asking, for the entire time I was online. I told him I'd look into it when I was offcam rather than just "quickly set it up only takes 10 min" because I am really not wont to do things spur-of-the-moment like that.

    Everything I'm reading here confirms that it's really not for me. I was considering it by getting paid up front for a block of time on site in a tip for the same amount per minute as true private, plus extra for my skype name... but it seems that they're looking for a deal... lol and I obviously won't do PayPal and amazon gift cards aren't going to pay my rent... so... they really would be better off just taking me pvt or true pvt. and so would I, because I would be missing on spies...

    I don't think Skype is the best idea because it's easy to get your ip address from it. To answer your question, though, I use Skype so that my camscore is not effected and it's more clear/bigger picture for the guys.

    how I did my skype show was amazon gcs
    6$/min
    i cut the cam when my music chimp alarm went off. and typed. "If you want to continue this, pay for your next x mins (link to amazon and gift rocket)"

    And I went not too slow not to fast. so Igot things rolling but not the A<AZING stuff. so he purchase 20 min, the next one was 40min

    I offter skype but I hate having to clock watch. Every single guy that has have ever asked to book a show through AW and wanted skype has always been a pain in the ass. They go over time then try to say "wow really time is done?" then I now have to wait for them to book more time. I was really annoyed a few weeks ago where a submissive was trying to steal time every step of the way. Now I keep the "booked option" disabled because even if's 65% instead of 70% it's worth not having to deal with the dramatics.

    Even the other day a MFC /Naked reg came in telling me how one of his model friends skypes with him all day long and doesn't care about the time. I told him "well good for you". The only time I did that was when a sub was dropping serious money. He thinks he's slick so he keeps giving me his skype as if I'm just going to automatically add him. I said well sure we'll skype, tip for the amount of time you want and then we'll go. lol He keeps trying to talk about this other model and what she gives him (ie what he takes) and I just sit and listen while he tips me on the site for conversation. The chances of skyping with this guy? Never. I even upped my rates to keep him away.

    Skype was how my camscore jumped in the past. Large token drop and leave. Boom score jumped up without much time logged in for the day so yes skype can be great. The problem I had was there was always one guy that would pop in my room when it was dead and not ask for skype. Once my room filled up he started begging for skype all crazy. The guy had serious control issues.

    When I do skype I put a timer on and when the time is coming close and the guy in question is dicking around I put the volume up high so when the chime comes up it's fucking loud. Then I cut my cam feed and type to them " that was fun can't wait until next time" (signed off).

    I used to give regs more time but that just created bad behavior and entitlement.
