    Does anyone wonder how the top chathosts on ifriends are still bringing in traffic consistently? I've been trying to figure it out forever! I don't get it?!?! Is there something I'm missing here? Lol! Most top girls on there don't even use sound? Wtf? And there charging 4.99 a minute? The only thing I could see is there consistent and put in a lot of hours! I looked at that one site that tells us how many hours camgirls put in and there doing like 40 hours a week! I've tried and tried but most of the time it's dead? Wtf am I doing wrong? Lol! I was there when the site started up years ago..I took about a 4 year break then came back to it and it's just dead..and I take good pictures and videos and update my fanclub regularly? yet there are particular top girls that just keep doing really well? Maybe I just suck as a camgirl? If anyone has a clue as to why this is..please help lol!

    This week was actually a good week for me on there, Really just all regular customers and one new one, But i made a good chunk of $. It's really all about the regulars i think.... Because i don't do shows for one star members (usually they don't collect) and i dont want to chance it. But i know why u girls get frustrated it's sooo hit or miss, Even me being on there for awhile i go days without making anything then 2 days in a row of banking on there... It's so freaken inconsistent. But i think the succesful ones on there just have loyal regulars honestly that make up a good part of there check.

    Yea, I see that pattern too but how do u go about spending 2 whole days with hardly anything..it makes me want to pull my hair out with the waiting lol! And staring at the computer for so long I guess it's a matter of putting in the hours and being consistent and trying to handle the waiting without ending up in a psych ward lol! Thank you for the advice! Feels good to know I'm not alone I appreciate it a billion times over

    Thank you Genoveve! Yea, I do a ton of self promo work which that's where I get a lot of my traffic on ifriends lol! That's why I'm just curious as to the top girls who I've studied and some don't even have twitters, there own website to self promote etc..so that's what kinda stumped me?

    I splitcam with Streamate and ifriends..but yea, there are times when I'm like why do I keep trying with ifriends but then ill have a day where it's amazing! So frustrating . I am registered with AW. I'm probably gonna add that into my splitcam sites as well..just wish ifriends would work for me I love the site but it's so inconsistent but it does help when I'm ready to pull my hair out from the freeloaders! I just turn off Streamate and keep ifriends running and hope for the best lol! One thing that I hate is when I'm splitting and doing a show on Streamate but I have guests in my ifriends room and there watching my show through the frosty white like chat pic..and it's weird cause as soon as I go into show on Streamate my ifriends feels up with guests..some even start to be like oh yea baby..like they could see me..I know there was a hack that happened years ago..I thought ifriends would have possibly fixed that but maybe not..just weird

    I have been on iFriends since its inception back in February of 1998. I have seen it at its peak when there were literally 3000 rooms live (remember, there are a ton of girls who run multiple rooms/names there simultaneously) to now, where most times, there are under 200 if not under 150 live rooms going, and, some of those are the same girl with multiple names/rooms. It is very sad, as I have always loved iFriends (maybe due to being there since the beginning, who knows) but, they have just all but died over the last 5 years. The traffic is inconsistent, and more often than not non existent. I would have thought I would never cam on other sites, but, had to branch out to SM and AW in the last 3 years. I love iFriends due to the control I have over my room, being I don't have to even deal with Guest chatters (we can block them altogether when signing in!) and not having to do free video. Even if I do Free to Private (meaning you do do a free video chat and they take you private just like SM) the traffic is horrific. Most of my traffic is guys who have been with me for literally years. A lot of times, the new guys (especially real young ones) who do come to video, never clear, meaning, I do not get paid for the show. I have always stuck with the 50% payout, as if I wanted to get 35% I would just go sit on SM. There was ONE time back in 2000 I believe where a lot of us had our checks bounce.. LOL The chathost advocate whose name was LuAnn said, it couldn't be true, and if anyone could prove that they had a bounced check, they would not only reissue the amount owed, but give us another 1k! Well, to this day, after sending proof of the bounced check they issued, I have never seen that 1k. ha! I don't know about the sign up process these days and all the questions you are referring to, unless you are filling out your Fan Club "Get to Know Me" questionnaire. When I signed up, it took literally 5 minutes to sign up, and start broadcasting! Now, back then, we didn't even have to give our ID's or anything, you just signed up and downloaded iFCam (obsolete now) and opened your room to a bazillion paying viewers! I think the top girls on there still make money because 1: they are hot 2. they have affiliate guys pushing their pages 3. they have a ton of regulars who visit all the time (most of the top girls I have seen there have been there since the early 2000's 4. they are placed prominently on the site, so a new guy is going to click those first few rooms. But, even the top girls have a lull in their traffic. It isn't SM, that is for sure. It used to be though, but, I have my doubts it will ever get back to being the top site as they were back in the day. There isn't a lot of organic traffic over there, so if you are new, don't be surprised if you sit for days even without a bite. The 6 month reserve thing was started actually AFTER the bounced check fiasco, and isn't so bad IF you make a payout every week. (and, of course, do not have charge backs) Once the 6 months are up, you are getting that money back on your check. I guess it would make sense to just offer 40 and cover the chargebacks/refunds, but, perhaps they like to be a site that offers 50% still in a sea of sites that are offering lower and lower commission. When the Fan Clubs first came out, they were great, but, I don't necessarily think that filling your FC with content is a way to get rich there. Why? Because, there just isn't enough traffic that will see it. You would probably do better to open a store on Clips4Sale if you want to sell content. I wouldn't discourage anyone from signing up there, as I have a soft spot for the site being there so long, but, it's definitely a background site, rather than one you can go hang out for 2 hours and make enough to live on.

    Very few of those top girls are hosting only on Ifriends. If you look around you will see nearly all of them on other sites too.

    This stream of info has been very helpful. I signed on to Ifriends a couple of times and not 1 person came into my room. I've logged onto Imlive and gotten a few privates. I didn't make a shit ton of money but I def see potential with IML. I'm not even going to waste my time on/with Ifriends given the info you've ladies supplied. I think I'm just going to delete my account. Once I get my new computer I will be spitting with SM, Cams, and Imlive.

So, inconsistent but also really good to have in the background with a high traffic site. Not a ton of girls i think at any given moment there are 140-200 girls logged on. Just be prepared to be really patient, But if u do get an awesome customer he will make ur whole day since ur getting 50%
    Hope that helps, All in all i really like ifriends and even through the slow times it has been a really good site for me! Even with the potential charge back's they don't happen often if u screen properly, Check the guys ratings it helps alot!
    I've worked at iFriends for 10 years and I totally agree with this. The traffic has gone downhill a lot but when it's good it's very very good. Great regulars, loyal customers, great pay %, great tech support, some nice features like Fanclubs and video chat wallet for members, 100% payouts for your own signups which are awesome, I have several of those. You have to be wary of uncollected chats & chargebacks. I don't let brand new members go on for more than $20-30 worth of show time because they are more likely to not pay.

    I don't find that at all. Perhaps 1 show per month doesn't collect, but I only clock about 10 hours a week there.
