So, my dilemma...
There is a very strong possibility that I may not have to do this but in the case that I do, I would like some advice on the matter.
I currently work on ImLive in the Fetish/BDSM section and have been signed up on the site for over 2 years but only starting camming "full time" (that's 25/hrs week for me) in the past few months. Even before then I had regulars and I've gained a reputation on the site as being American and actually having audio which is rare and also very much needed for a lot of the role playing guys request. Despite my best efforts, I cannot seem to manage over a $25-$30/hr rate average. My rate is 3.80/min (their rates are set as such, 1.98, 2.80, 3.80, 4.80, 5.80) and even picking the median rate I still get guys bitching and offer discount codes although I think I'm totally worth the higher rate but lots of studio (physical) girls offering the lowest rate make that a bit hard.
It seems as if I've reached out to the regulars I'm going to get and the site's traffic is just getting exponentially shittier by the minute. The site has had tech issues left and right and they are making more and more rules to make it harder to actually get any sort of 100% conversion commission. I have a new job lined up soon working in the development of a cam site but until then, I'm reaching a point where I want to make the switch to the well loved SM, where I already have an account but do not use it frequently.
My questions/concerns are as such:
-Making sure I still have steady money coming in, how do you girls balance dedicating your 100% to a new site and making yourself known while still being there for your regulars at another? I know splitcamming is an option but since I talk aloud it's always been rather difficult to juggle.
-Doing almost exclusively Fetish/BDSM is it even possible to make more than the amt I mentioned above? I've always felt somewhat personally stuck but hearing how well you ladies do and are able to charge, do you think sm would be a place I can make this happen? I do not want to do full nude or masturbation shows. Will guys still pay 4.99/5.99 minute?
-As a Fetishist or to you ladies that do that sort of thing what's been the best way to catch guys' attention? I try with the kinky looking photos but it still doesn't seem to register.
-How long does it take to really get into the groove there? The reason I've had issues with sm before is I've gotten on and even given it a few weeks (although only working a couple of days during those few weeks, admittedly, I've NEVER had an sm regular. I've felt so secure playing my American with audio card on imlive) but still had just absolutely dead rooms. SM does intimidate me (yeah, I said it) because there is WAAAY more competition.
I know this is meaty but any help would be appreciated. This could also pertain to anyone else who wants to switch their primary cam site and ways to do it to get to a larger audience. I know it's easy for a lot of you ladies who can splitcam and multi task but I always feel like people can tell I'm not paying attention, etc and it's my personal thing to always give 100% in all my shows, even when I'm in free chat just showing who I am.
Thanks very much.
