    Default Starting all over, not sure though where to start :(

    Hope it's ok to post this here, been awhile since I've been here.

    Ok, so as of yesterday the site I worked on for a little over a year terminated my account where I cam, sell content & send paid messages to a large amount of guys. Had some great regulars, was doing really well. But I made a mistake out of frustration w/the quality of the camming there & provided info that I shouldnt have even though I made the guy pay me through the site. Honestly, after trying to cam w/this guy (from Australia) & seeing his connection being from outside of the U.S, I just didnt want to use their camming platform because it has been horrible lately & for him it was worse! I guess I get no second chances, even though I have been faithful about just camming there despite the complaints from my regs about how bad their camming option has been. Sucks but now I have to pretty much start all over. I'm trying to keep positive about the situation & let it make me stronger & better, but I'm really stressed now because I needed that to count on. I have bills to pay, groceries to buy, & the site that gave me the boot still has a sea of girls making them money & aren't suffering nearly as much as I'm going to if I don't find another way. I understand why they terminated me but it would've been nice if they would have just suspended my account first & looked into the transaction between the guy & me, they would've seen I wasn't taking money away from them but whatever. What's done is done.

    I'm wondering if I decide to just use skype for camming from now on, can I use Payoneer as a payment option? It looks like it can be done but I'm wondering if any of my customers end up being from outside of the U.S, if they can still pay me that way? What issues have any of you ladies run into using Payoneer like this? I pretty much have to get back into making money on Monday or A.S.A.P. Any suggestions pertaining to this would be helpful.

    Just suck it up and start working your way up again. Find a new site, and build up a clientele and regulars. It blows, but the less you think about it the easier it will be. Dwelling over the site that kicked you and the girls that are there making money isn't going to pay your bills. I made a similar mistake that got me kicked off a site, and I had to find other means to make the $$. I had to work harder and longer, but I did it and it kept me afloat.

    I think the drawback with using payoneer is that the transfers can take a day or two to clear, and they get suspicious if you are getting tons of loads to your card. I'm curious, if you were loyal to said site, how would you have customers for Skype shows lined up? Unless you have a huge (paying) following outside of the site you worked on, I wouldn't rely too heavily on Indy Skype shows to get started. I would start researching sites and signing up RIGHT NOW.

    Hope none of that came off too harsh. I really mean for the tone to be tough love, and not bitchy.

    Thanks AF camgirl. I have thick skin nothing you said bothered me, I took it all as friendly advice. Anyway, I dont have a huge following but I have a few freinds who have just always followed me around. I was hoping to at least keep those few happy with skype until I find a decent site. I hate the way a majority of camming sites are set up with the token system now too. Just not a fan.

    That sucks.

    Well, for starters, I would look for the lesson here: don't just start on ONE new site, build up a following there, and presume that you will never be suspended or terminated from them. Start on at least two others. Make sure that you have multiple income streams - even if you were the perfect camgirl "employee", the site could still crash, there could be an issue with payment, whatever. Make sure that you have a couple income streams and a fall-back. Also, beef up your social media and make sure you have a recognizable name so that guys can search you. If everyone has your twitter, then even if one site kicks you off, you can still contact your regs so they can find you.

    Other than that - yup, you just got to get moving again. Pick a couple new sites, start building a following, and maybe put in extra hours the first month to make up the money you need.

    Thanks whirlerz and manyroses. I know I can't let it break me, things like this happen for a reason...guess I will figure that reason out eventually! lol I'm looking into using payoneer & gift rocket for now as payment till I can sign onto a couple of decent sites. Actually manyroses, awhile back I was one 3 diff sites at once, but one by one each site had its issues (one shut down completely) and that's when I ended up only using one. And the one site actually allowed us to show our twitter on our page, thought that was awesome. So that's how I have a few regs now, but I def need more. I will start hunting today or tomorrow through these threads to find a couple good cam sites that dont use the token system and just pray the payout isnt horrible!

    ^^^^^ Sounds like you have it under control!!

    Just had one other thing to say - I'm also not a big fan of the token thing, but don't discount a site completely because of it...what if you find that there is a site that has everything else going for it - exactly how you want, but uses tokens...it could be worth it.

    I hate it - not being the best with the mental arithmetic - so I keep a list of quick conversions by my screen so I can easily convert to $ when I'm on.

    Good luck!

    The list of conversions is a great idea Whirlerz, thanks for that!! And you're right I shouldn't close my mind to a good site because of that, I won't...honestly I can't at this point and time, I'm kinda desperate lol
