    Default Help me O, Oracle of Wisdom!

    Right maybe if I consult the Camgirl Oracle (ie you guyz) I shall receive some advice as to what I should do...I'm a bit stuck to be honest.

    Currently my main site is AW and I love it. I have always done okay on there. I really WANT to try SM properly, I made an account ages and ages ago but messed it up, didn't really take advantage of my new model status, never used it, ended up deleting my account with the idea to start afresh when I was ready.

    I feel like MAYBE I should start now. It would be so nice to have a back up site (other than c4s) to get $ from. The other night for example AW was just so, so SO dead and I felt like there was no point me even being on there, and I WISHED I had another account to fall back on.

    The thing is, I dont really have that much time to be experimenting, like I can't really afford to be sitting in SM free chat for four hours and having the chance of making $2 ...I'm going travelling for a few weeks in the middle of sept, and I need to make as much as possible before then.

    I also won't necessarily have the opportunity to be regular, set a schedule and build up a following which is what I intended to do when I rejoined...as I will just be camming on there when AW is dead.

    Splitcamming isnt really that much of an option for me I think...my internet connection here is NOT the best.
    But when I come back in October, and I will be updating my internet to BT infinity (awesome upload speeds) and I will have loads
    of time to experiment with SM and splitcamming.

    So my questions are:

    1. if you were in the same position as me what would you do?

    a) Would you start a new SM just so that you could sign on sometimes when AW is slow? And risk the fact that you would be wasting your new model status on being a bit flakey, not having the best connection, not having a regular schedule?
    You would definitely not be getting all you could out of the SM experience but at least you would have another way of making $!
    Would you maybe try and split cam when AW is quiet with AW PAID CHAT ONLY...I don't know if this uses less CPU?
    Or maybe just be online and taking skype bookings on AW while camming on SM.

    or would you

    b) Wait until you got back from 3 weeks travel and were a little less stressed about making money, focus on AW for the moment even when its quiet, and then start SM when you were in a new apartment, with great internet connection and maximize your newbie status?

    Thank you in advance for any advice you throw my way oh wonderful Camgirl Oracle.

    I would do Option A - leaving AW on paid chat only while on SM when AW is slow.

    How much time do you currently have to cam?

    I was in a similar situation with MFC and SM - I work SM, but wanted to start doing more on MFC (I have an account, I'm just never on) to have a back up. I ended up just sticking with SM, because I just didn't have the spare time to build up the way I want to on MFC.

    The glorious thing about SM is that I don't think that you NEED to have a regular schedule and build followers the way that you do on MFC. In fact, it's one of the things that I love about it - you can just log on sporadically, deal with different people all the time, and STILL make money. Bear in mind, I am currently consistently in the top 20 when I am on, and I am the flakiest of flakes when it comes to my schedule....so you should be fine!!

    It will still take time to build up to making good money, but I honestly think that it just has to do with the overall hours that you put in, and not so much sticking to a schedule and building a following.

    I would just create the account, log in when you can. And I would definitely try to splitcam while you are doing paid chat only for AW. Get a pause button on your SM account, and you won't even have to log off when you are doing an AW show.

    One more note on splitcamming - you mention that you are concerned about not having the internet speeds to handle it, but then later in the post, you talk about CPU usage. These are totally different things, and will have different effects. Your upload speeds shouldn't be too badly affected if you are doing paid chat only while splitcamming - you are only uploading ONE show at a time (although if you are really concerned, I would log out of SW while doing an AW show, rather than just pausing SW). CPU is a bigger concern because it refers to your computer's capability for handing multiple processes at once, and you would be running both programmes at the same time while splitcamming. Switching to the better internet package won't change the CPU usage, only upgrading your hardware will do that....Maybe you already understood that, I just though that I would mention it!!
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    Very awesome and concise thank you Manyroses! I am pretty much a technical dummie so thanks for clarifying the CPU vs upload speeds stuff!

    I think I will just bite the bullet and get a SM account. I have a LOT of time to cam at the moment...not really doing anything else. So I may as well go on now, be flakey, and then try and be a bit more organised when I get back from traveling.

    you start now with the new account and try your best.
    Even if u split cam u can... juggle 2 sites no problem if you;re focusing...
    if ur PC cant support Splicam, then try the new site... and compare..
    than stick with the one that seems better...
