    Default Taking a Break from GOLD shows?

    I am thinking of taking a break from doing GOLD shows constantly...

    I'd still like to do them, but just not 99% of the time like I have been. I have realized that lately, for me, it has been harder to get guys to pledge, and my traffic has gone right down. I am happy to get half of $100 target these days. Bad times...

    Looking back over my earnings, when I had my prices set at $4.89 and $4.99 per min, I was earning a pretty similar amount that I am now, but for less hustling work. It is the GOLD show hustle that is getting to me. I think I should take a break from them and go back to old classic chat times.. I hope it goes okay! It feels so weird going back to taking privates. O_O Wish me luck! <3

    I think you will like it soooo much better. I was never much of a gold show girl to begin with. . . for many reasons. . but I 100% quit doing them awhile ago. They have completely gone to shit and cheapened the site's culture. Does anybody remember when gold shows FIRST came out, when they were in beta testing...and models like Candi Cruz were pulling in 750 GOLD in five minutes just by looking at the camera?

    Now girls give the whole farm away for free. . for 3 dollars girls are sending out 15 hardcore videos just to make a measly 150 dollar goal.. . guys sit and park in free chat to wait to see nudity because girls get topless now at like, 20 gold. What the hellll??? The BIG spenders don't like gold shows...they go exclusive. It's either catering to the Trailer Park Joes vs. Wall Street. . the way I always looked at it. .

    Good Luck!!

    I go back and forth with gold shows, and I feel like it helps my hustle sometimes. The days that I do them, a lot of guys pledge because they know it is rare, and guys aren't just hanging out waiting for the next gold show...

    I'm sure you will do great and enjoy the break! You know what they say "a change is as good as a rest"...maybe changing up how you do things will make you super motivated and excited to be on cam.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    I agree incantatious- I find the gold shows I've been doing lately have made camming more exhausting,(other than my sleep gold shows). I've NEVER had a sore va-ja-ja until yesterday in all the 2 years I've been camming,because my prvt. shows are geared to other 'specialties', rather than the hardcore 'fucking' I have to do with gold shows.In my exclusives I only have a dildo inserted maybe 10 times in a week's worth of camming(i.e.) 40 hours, or more.
    Besides, those countdowns, (for me anyway), have always been B-R-U-T-A-L! I'm a NewYorker,so I'm used to everything going quickly, and getting what I want right away. Even the guys who pledge get bored, until show, and leave their computer, and I find myself talking to them,and they come back and say they left to have a ciggy, or whatever.
    I only started doing more gold shows because I noticed a bunch of new guys coming into my room, but the need to tell them how great my shows are, show my toys, the general 'hustle, and now the 'soreness', are not worth it.
    It just get frustrating when I see top 'gold show' girls getting over $1000 for a 10 minute (or less) show. Somehow I had the crazy notion that if I became like them,and was known as the girl that ONLY does gold shows, and sold videos and pix, then I would make that kind of money.
    Oh well, live and learn, eh?
    Best of luck whatever u decide to do.

    I normally do not do gold shows, I think I have done three. Last night I logged into party chat which I never do, and figured what the hell, when I had enough guys in my room, I started the gold show, but I sat in there clothed, flashed a tit only now and then, and told them, that they wouldn't sit in my room waiting for the gold show and seeing me naked, and that I would not get undressed before the the start of the gold show, told them if they wanted it for free to go to another room because thats not how I do my gold show countdown, never said it bitchy or anything just lots of laughing.. they never left and they pledged. I still wont do them. I think that I just got all the drunk guys in from the bar lol but its alright. I'll stick with classic chat!

    I agree Incant. I ran gold shows all day yesterday because pvts/excs were slow. But no more. I was feeling a little worthless afterwards.

    II've done ONE Gold Show since I joined SM. It took me forever to reach the goal and in the end I feel like I make more just doing privates and exclusives.

    i agree, i hardly ever do them anymore now and opted out of the tv shows. they make me feel way too cheap and i can't stand it when u get a only a few ppl in the show (all which of spent at least $3 gold) and then they start barking orders at you like they are in premium chat! i only rarely do them now like if i am only like $10 away from my goal or if i am in the mood at all i will do it but other than that i have a way better experience with classic chat and plus i have adapted a new hustle that works with classic chat quite well. i am pretty happy without gold shows for the most part. the only thing that sux is that u can make a nice chunk in one sitting. i guess now if girls are willing to give away so much extra (ie. free videos) than she doesn't have too much problems reaching the goal (the pattern i see with tops girls). i am not knocking those girls but i do alot of fetish stuff so my videos have a higher value to them so i guess for a straight up vanilla chick giving away so many sex videos for free doesn't matter so much since there is a shitload of pirated porn on the web anyways.

    yes i remember seeing how great gold shows were when they first started them, they started in the beta stage right after i first joined the site so only certain models were getting it at the time and they were killing in it, i remember how i wanted it soooo bad! only wish they had stayed THAT kind of popular.

    Some guys have came to my room and asked me to do gold shows.. I was like no, I only do it very rarely... I also told them gold shows make us (me and the custies) lose the direct interaction.. many of them understood and took me to privates!

    I agree that I feel cheap afterwards, but in general, i ENJOY gold shows. It gives me more of a "Goal" to work towards, which I think motivates me more & I prefer doing the random shit I post that I'm gonna do, when I wanna do it, ignoring the custies pretty much the whole time. In Exclusive, I get nervous, Am I doing it the right way? Are they happy? Etc.... But then again, I hate how I struggle towards ANY goal in a gold show. I'm lucky to hit a $50 gold show.... Which is pathetic to me, considering how much I charge for exclu. :/ Let us know if this works out for you!!

    I only do them if the room requests it enough. Preferably i would love to do expensive GS lol but its always a 3-5 dollar show and F that all the time. I really enjoy exclusives not just because the high amount per min but because its just one dude, i prefer that. I can drag that shit out too which i LOVE doing lol

    I like gold shows but I only do them once an hour, or once every other hour, so I rely on mostly privates/exclusives. I would do GS more often but I guess I'm a big baby in that I hate taking risks... I don't want to risk that I'll try a countdown and fail... and end up wasting that time that I could've been in private. Plus my computer is reaching the end of its lifespan, and my internet cuts out occasionally and I'm afraid of something happening and losing all my money.

    Honestly though, I do pretty well with gold shows most of the time. They don't make me feel cheap, if anything they make me feel SEXY and give me a money rush... I like them.

    I had a break from Gold shows not too long ago. I found that I wasn't earning as much doing them as I had done with privates and exlusives. I enjoyed the break, and I think the guys appreciated it too. When I started doing gold shows again I found that I was enjoying it again too I'm sure it will work super well for you! x

    Im scared to not do them, and, that is the honest truth. What will the reaction be from custis? I don't do this for extra income, it is my income. Models who are full time, speak to me! What is your experience????

    Some days I want to be like.."all you fucking do is buy gold shows cheap motherfuckers"

    I did a big buy in and someone pledged I went in....I Don't think the person was expecting it bc the buy in was so high. I did like they do w the groups that do the 30-60 shows and just fuck around naked. One dude came in (a total of 3 bought in) He said "I paid xx$,stick finger in your ass" guess what happened. Not a damn thing. I cant stand demands.

    Im getting so tired of the cheap ass fags wanking their 2 inch cock in free bc they are pussy and wallet whipped by their bitch, fuck their shit.

    I guess this was a vent as well... sorry ....

    I've actually never done a gold show at all. I get a few guys a day asking, but I'm convinced these are the ones trolling around for free or cheap shows. I'm kind of afraid of doing them lol...like I'm opening the floodgates and all the ass bbs come rushing inside my room. I enjoy one-on-one shows and have more fun in exclusive. Most of the guys get it when I explain. I love the idea of gold shows, but I know my personality doesn't lend itself well to them. Good luck with your break! I'm sure you'll do well.

    I hope it works out well for you! Let us know how it goes.

    I don't have the option for Gold shows, but I'm not planning on doing them anyway. I do my toy shows in exclusive chat, period. I've seen way too many models (TOP models) try to get a Gold show going (which included great deals guys would have to be crazy to not take advantage of), only to have to cancel, lower the price, and start over. They'll ask "You guys can't do 5 Gold for 8 minutes? Okay, then what about 3 Gold for 8 minutes?" Guys are now being allowed to decide what models charge, getting all kinds of content for chipping in, AND they're asking the models "What does the highest tipper get?" D'oh! *facepalm*

    And honestly, there's something about these guys' 'discount' mentality that makes me cringe a bit. They're on a sex site trying to talk down prices like it's a yard sale. And they talk as though every model whose room they enter SHOULD do a Gold show to save them money. It's tacky to enter an adult model's room and whine about rates. "I can't afford you! $5.99? If you made it $2.99, I would've stayed in private with you all night long." Yeah, okay...and most likely he would've been one of the picky, demanding assholes that often come along with cheap rates...no thanks. I prefer the one-on-one exclusives.

    This is exactly how I feel.

    I do this full time as my sole income too and am worried that the response from my custies will be bad as I have pretty much done ONLY GOLD shows for the past 4 - 5ish months, and only done premiums / exclusives when guys have come in between shows. I am kind of worried I have lost my private-buying regulars, you know? And my fanbase now comprises entirely of cheap GS-loving guys... :S

    I know there can be such a thing as change, though - just as I changed my shtick to GOLD shows, I can get it back around to getting more and more privates again like I used to... It's just a matter of time and adaptation. If I get lots of guys ask me for a GOLD show, I'll be happy to do one as long as the tippers are there. If not, back to privates.. and just wait it out I guess. I'll do whatever gets me money on there.

    And GOLD shows, when they're good, I feel like a fucking... Almighty Goddess of Cash. Not degraded at all. I don't feel degraded when the shows aren't happening, just very pissed off. I should be getting money dammnit, lol! XD

    Good luck, I hope you make lotsa moolah with pvts!

    I like to do both. I've started tracking how much of my income is gold shows vs private shows, and it seems to be about split even for me, with a little more leaning toward gold shows. I definitely love getting private shows as well, so I try to do one gold show per hour. Sometimes I do more. On a 5 hour shift I usually do 5 or 6 gold shows, where the countdown & time in show takes up no more than 20 minutes.

    Gold shows help me from getting sore because I rarely use toys in private now, unless the guy requests it and has been in pvt for several minutes already.

    I think you should do just fine, lots of girls only do private shows, and lots only do gold. You just have to find your happy place!
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    I don't like gold shows. I don't like the idea of them ... I just dislike them. Period. My regulars all know this, and they prefer exclusives anyway, so we can be 1 on 1.

    I know they work great for a lot of girls, and that's awesome, but I'm more of a privates/exclusive kind of girl.

    I pretty much stopped doing goldshows and partychat too going back to classic chat. What a difference party chat vs classic chat makes! Much better imo. I feel like gold shows are training the guys to be cheaper and cheaper. For example I had a regular that would spend about 200 a pop with me. I did a goldshow he paid 5 for it, and once he paid that 5 in his mind he didn't really wanna put out the 200 anymore. He'd try and wait around for another goldshow. I'd rather get guys expecting to pay full price because seems these goldshow buy ins are becoming less and less for girls with more and more being offered. I'd rather just stay over here in the "classic" chat lane for now and avoid all that madness

    When I do GS

    1. I never 'hustle' in them. I ignore the guys mostly and only talk to tell them I could care less if the show goes through and I rather make my per minute price. This stops them from being tiring for me.
