    Default Finally Did My First Day!

    Hey ladies!

    So yesterday i finally plucked up the courage and managed to click start (after looking at it for quite some time!). I was so nervous and felt silly talking out loud to the computer but eventually i felt better and in the first 10 minutes got a private, only short 2.4 minutes and only made $3.50 but i was so happy that i logged off right away just standing like there omg!.

    I was trying to remember everything i read on SW the moment i saw i had someone in paid chat and my mind was buzzing with a million things... i was like ok remember the 30 second thing... but then i thought shit i forgot to look at the time he entered! and then i was like oo remember to say something about comments or ratings or whatever... i must of sounded so silly getting everything muddled up while still trying to be sexy haha. Anyway i finally got back online for about 30 minutes but no privates but i was just so proud of myself for logging on in the first place that it didn't matter.

    Tonight i'm going to get on again and see what happens. I hope that in a few days/weeks i wont stumble over my words all the time and it will all be more fluid, and natural.

    P.S. at the top of the screen on SM i was using the encoder and it showed my status as streaming in the SM page but under it i kept on seeing 3 2 1 and then camera and then it would come back, what is this? because people were still talking to me and popping in and out of my room... i wasn't sure what that was. and one time i had a red dot flash on the paid chat bar at the top but the guy left when i clicked open the paid chat it didn't make a sound or anything... i was confused by these two things lol


    sorry for the long post! hehe

    ON SM, that 1 2 3 is telling you that they are taking a snap shot of your room. (guys will see this preview of you) If you dont like the idea of this, you can always email support and ask them just to use your profile pic

    The 1...2...3... is when the site takes snapshots of you to display as your display image on the main pages.
    The flashing red dot in the paid chat bar means someone went pvt and left without you realizing. In my experience its best to leave the paid chat and guest chat open at the same time so you can physically see their name pop into paid chat because sometimes the site doesn't make the sound and sometimes you may just not register it..

    About the stumbling over your words/being nervous...play it up as the "new girl' thing.
    A lot of guys love the innocence of the "new girl" so nothing to worry about..

    Good job getting your first day done now....go get your second one out of the way!

    Basically it just means that something happened in a certain section while you didn't have it open...
    That's why the "free chat" one where all the guys who don't have their CC hooked up is ALWAYS blinking....that's the only one its PERFECTLY FINE to ignore.

    Good first day! Keep it going, girl!
    i
    It reminds me of my first day... =D it was at LJ and got my first pvt with a really sweet guy which made me almost 10 dollars. Guess it was first time luck, cuz I didn't get a higher amount yet. But had some PVTs. I didn't get camera shy as I'm used to do some public jobs and interviews in my country (I'm not famous, btw... but my work area is kind of exotic, TVs love to interview people working in this niche).

    Just to make things clear, I'm new too. Had three days of work so far (all at LJ) and made only 40 bucks so far because it's not my main job and I get online 2 to 4 hours/day. And I had so much trouble in my third day that barely stayed 30 minutes (internet issues). So I guess I can count two days of work so far.

    Today I'm gonna have my forth day, and I'm thinking of trying one of the websites I've signed for and are clear now: Webcams.com, Cams.com, Adult Work and ImLive. Yeah, I'm freaking out signing for all the major cam websites. That's because I want to work in some and see which ones are more profitable for me, as well as the ones which are more friendly for me (for example, I've signed up for Cam4 and just hated it! I won't cam there. But I'll keep my things there, maybe I change my mind someday). I'm also approved for clips4sale, but I'll wait a little more to have some more experience and watch some material from there before really activating my store.

    I'm awaiting approval for these websites: Flirt4Free (5 Points Model), My Free Cams, Naked.com, Streamate and iFriends. Applied for everything already (somethings finished just today). I'm really excited to get approved by SM really soon, sounds like the best one so far (I know there's no "best one" for everyone, but surely sounded the best one for me).

    We're newbies, yey! Don't worry flor, we'll be pro soon hehehe

    Missbeth, of course it's hard to start. I felt really weird. I just did a little better for two reasons: not being camera-shy and because my first pvt guy was talking about spanking, which I just happen to LOVE. So it turned me on and it was much easier. Also the pvt wasn't c2c, which made things easier.

    Anyway, first pvt with c2c creeped the hell out of me >.< it was so weird to see the guy actually masturbating while I was doing things for him. At least he was cute, but it was REALLY WEIRD anyway.

    Yeah....my first c2c freaked me out but it wasn't the picture that freaked me out... it had sound.
    Hearing the guy's voice freaked me out SOOO much..
    After over a year...I still refuse to do c2c with sound or phone...

    Missbeth, I guess I was lucky: still didn't get to have c2c with sound. I won't turn it off when it happens, but it felt REALLY CREEPY just to think of it =P ewks...

    Coming back to "newbies" subject... I made my Payoneer card (as I'm not in the US and checks are horrible to cash out here, and they charge really high rates for that)... and I just can't wait to have it so I can really spend the money I'm making.. yey!

    Thanks ladies!

    @shysara79 - Thanks for explaining the 123 snapshot thing i already asked to have my profile pic the show up instead.

    @missbeth - so funny about slamming the computer shut.. i felt like doing that lol! and i think im going to leave the paid chat window open now because i don't want to miss out on anything if i don't hear the sound, thank you!

    @Ashley - Congrats on making it to day 4 and getting your Payoneer card accepted! I am also not in the US and just got mine approved on Monday and its ETA date is end of March till April 3rd i can't wait to get the card either hehe

    About the C2C i have in my profile that i wont do it - in my head i would rather pretend the men are not real well... apart from their money that is real If i am correct they cannot just show their cam you have to click something to see it if you want to do C2C? Im terrified of a guys cam just popping up or something and me like NOOOOOOOOOO hahaha

    Although you put it in your profile be prepared to still get alot of guys who will try (a lot of guys Dont read profiles) Just stand your ground about it.

    Thanks for asking the question about the 1...2...3 and red dot thin because I didn't know either lol (new to SM not to camming though.

    I remember my first private. Guy took me on an 8 minute private and just wanted to talk. Sounds innocent right? Except he wanted to talk about how he liked to fuck his sister lol. I remember being horrified on the inside but just played along with it. And when it was over I though 'shit if I can last through that I can do anything' lol.

    I'm desensitized when it comes to C2C now. At first I was all freaked out but after a while the old hairy balls and small ass penises don't bother you LOL. I did just get my first C2C w sound the other day and that's kind of still weird though I don't know why it's weirder then wathin them jack off lol but hearin them I'm still not used to.

    Anyway welcome to camming!! Good luck on your second day!
    For the love of nipples!

    I've been lurking around for a while now on my cam sites. I haven't officially done any shows yet just updated my pics and finally got approved for SM. I am also signed up for ifriends. I think I will start on ifriends since there is less traffic on there until I get less nervous and then go on SM with more people. I originally signed up for livejazmin but decided not to cam on there since so many girls said it was not a good site to work for and the .98 cent start price I did not like. I also needed a computer because my old one crashed. I finally got all my ducks in a row and will be starting my first cam day tomorrow. So, this post showed up at the perfect time. I'm sure I will be nervous and it will probably be obvious but I really need the money and I think it will be fun in the long run. I was also thinking of signing up for IMlive.

    For me, if I don't click it, it automatically accepts it.... Weird!

    Speaking of first days, I've been at this for over a year now and I remember what a disaster I was my first day. I had researched and signed up but was too scared to log in. Then I went out with friends one night and logged on while I was pretty tipsy. I definitely don't recommend logging on drunk the first time, LOL! On the plus side, the first guy to take me exclusive that night still visits my room a few times a week. We laugh about what a trainwreck I was. I just played up being new

    ShyCamGirl, I've started in IMLive today and it also starts with the 0.98 price just like LJ. But in both sites it's over after 90 minutes of PVT. In 40 minutes of work (which 30 was in PVT) I've got 9 dollars... oh well, it's something for someone who was working 3 wours straight and hadn't seen a penny

    I'm so UPSET, I'm sure I get so few clients because of my crappy internet with 0.25 Mbps Upload rating... I'm gonna have 100 bucks A MONTH if it keeps like that.

    3rd day at work and got only almost 50 bucks so far... because they feature 0.98 girls somehow. As soon as I get off this "on sale" status I don't get NO ONE for my PVTs... I've been online in LJ for over an hour and got NOTHING... Well, already bought my camera and hired higher bandwidth service, I guess in around a week I'll be good to go.

    Oh crap... Maybe it does... Oops my bad. Gonna edit that...
    Don't listen to me girls...

    Yeah... I don't recommend logging in drunk ever.. Whenever I log in drunk/high I'm always paranoid the next day if I slipped and said my real name.. Real location lol
    I guess now I'd probably be golden now though since I almost say my cam name irl... Almost sign emails and texts with it..lol

    Yea the 98 cents thing on ImLive goes away fast. I do like imLive as a backup site the only thing that fucking sucks on there is charge backs. I'm always afraid of losing my earrings which isn't worth it. I have had decent traffic on there and made some good money honestly. I know a lot of people say its dead but it was ok for me (maybe it was good for my nitch- I'm BBW- can't vouch for everyone) it's a good backup site for me for sure, I just hate the fear of charge backs.

    Really hated to hear the word "chargeback" here I guess I'll concentrate working somewhere else later, and IMLive will be backup.

    Can't wait to have my SM account finally approved and free to go...

    ^iFriends/"amanda" works for ifriends.net, Vanessa works for Streamate.com. IDK... how ifriends would help your streamate account get pushed through but Vanessa or [email protected] may be your best best for Streamate.com registration only.

    Since sites like xpeeps have folded to Streamate, probably best to stick to Streamate offical reps only for application completion or you may end up in a studio.

    (not implying the ifriends rep is doing this as youll most likely just get told to sign up for ifriends indirectly, or theyll most likely just send an email to Vanessa to remind her... while their ifriends signature is visible via PM but just a general comment as the .... studios-shrieking-banshee of SW.... as a few times that ppl have asked ppl to "PM them offline" to help with SM applications have been studios or:

    If a poster on SW tells you to PM them for more info about a bigbox website, unless theyre reputable... don't do it. Even if they are reputable or wellknown posters - still have your bullshit detector on.

    Using camgirls to advertise a studio is a brilliant strategy bc the camgirl can say that she'll help train and guide you to earn as much as her. Using popular camgirls is a win/win for studios bc they know new camgirls look up to established ones and they dont have to bother spamming websites all day to get signups. Iit is also a win/win for camgirls because it is passive income built from using their credibility as a camgirl. It is unfortunately a lose / lose for you.

    So dont fall for it.
    not all of them or even most, but a few)

    Just a generic suggestion. If it has taken more than 4-5days, re-contact Streamate's regular customer service, or resend yr email to Vanessa (as she gets flooded). If it takes even longe ron both fronts, Liz probably makes sense as people often reference her.
