    Default Serious traffic issues on CAM4.

    Im new too cam4.
    Im on the 100 hour program as im working on Satallite internet and cant realy do streamate at the moment
    without damaging my placment.

    I have 2-3 people in my room at a time, BARLEY making chit chat.
    Im use to entertaining 50-100 people minimum on streamate, and doing shows for many..
    Today i tried a free-show in public to try to get the numbers up, but the numbers stayed the same...

    Any tips?
    I hate to sound like a brat, but im really not use to this , and im getting REALLY discouraged.

    That's how it was for me. I got maybe 7-8 people max all either didn't have any money or they were "gold" because they were male models on the site.

    If there was good traffic that tips or buys shows they wouldn't have to pay hosts to be there.

    It took me nearly 6 more months just to get $52 to cash out. I'm waiting on that check as we speak but for some reason Cam4 for right now isn't really making me any money. After that 100 hours it was a wrap. Even then I think I barely made just under $300 and I've been a member of that site almost a full year. Still I signed up right around the private option showed up while being called a "token whore" by the members that felt they were entitled to see me for $0

    I actually got up to the #2 female cam (#5 or 6 for the entire site) the first time I broadcasted. I just acted like a total weirdo, cracking jokes the entire time and pretending my feet were raptor claws. RAWR! I get the sense that Cam4 custies prefer the super social/playful experience. I only made about $40/hour while at the top of the first page, though, so I don't think it's got the earning potential of some of the other token sites. I don't know; need to give it another go.

    When I first signed up to Cam4 around last year I made the top spot easily with like 1k+ viewers... Some people might think this is good? No, lol... Earning potential for me SUCKS on Cam4. Even at the friggin' top spot, it's literally zero guarantee of making $1. I was polite, sexy, chatty, great lighting, business quality internet and HD cam.. Barely anything $$-wise.
    Now, I'm lucky to get like 50 members in. I don't really know what happened.
    Oh, and the clientele can be MASSIVELY grating. They all seem to want Skype / PP, or think they can get you to do whatever they wish for for free, or by acting rude and entitled.

    The model bonus is decent, though I hope the site changes for the better soon.

    I do hate how hostile anyone is on Cam4 when you ask them to tip or tell them they it costs tokens for you to watch their camera.

    They always act like I've spit on their mother's grave right in front of them. LOL!

    Edited to add:
    I get more traffic on Cam4 then on MFC......but that doesn't really matter to me since even though I have way less traffic there, I get tipped more on MFC.
    But seeing the majority of the time I spend on Cam4 I make zero tokens in tips at the end of it all.....that really isn't saying much.

    I splitcam with MFC because it at least gives me someone to talk too and it seems to draw a lot of people into my room since they just assume I am talking to people on Cam4. Hee hee!

    Yeah cam4 is a BEAST. I Make decent $ there but it is VERY up and down. And it took a loonnng while before I started making much.

    Here are some suggestions:
    -schedule your show times
    -Change them around. See if different times work.
    -Expect to sit for at LEAST an hour with nothing. That's usually just how it is. It is as though the members have to be sure you're sticking around...
    -Another thing: I think that's also why everyone says this site is slow and shitty and no one tips. I think the c4 community has trust issues... there are a lot of models who have a reputation for ripping off members[restarting goal right before they meet it so they don't have to do it without warning etc] it took me FOREVER to start making decent $ there! I ONLY stuck it out for the daily pay and luckily by the time that finished the community had [ sort of] acepted me.
    -Your screenshot pic= important on this site more than ANY I have worked on. Make that screenshot look good and well framed.

    I will agree it's a fucking dicey site. But somedays I fucking bank there. Last night I pulled in $125 in like an hour and a half. Another time a week ago I pulled $250.
    Video sales are a good idea on cam4 too. I sell videos and have a list in my gallery with how much they are and get people to private tip with email to get the dl links.
    [shrug] I dunno. I feel like I'm one of the few cam models who had the patience to stick it out and figure out wtf is with that site and it's members. It's been...frustrating and may not be worth your time since it is SO FICKLE.
    I also think the "insulted by asking for tips" feel comes from the fact that cam4 only reecenlty became a token based site after YEARS of just free voyeur cams. I found having a lil tip menu and details on my shows helps. Then I don't have to ask for tips I can usually just say "read my bio ok?" It seems to smooth things out a little and cause less of the "you're a money whore!" comments lol
    I hope that helps!

    I split with MFC too! I remember one night I was being tipped heavy on MFC and told the Cam4 guys "got to go!". I've done that time and time again and those members just don't get it.

    I do okay with cam4 even with only maybe 10 guys in my room. If they ask for skype I tell them private me on the site most do. Maybe because I do fetish privates only they are more inclined. In free I sit and chat about music, TV, whatever, once in a while I dance, that's it. It is up and down but I don't log in consistently. I honestly find the guys there less rude and racist that on SM and MFC that's for sure. I haven't heard one racial slur directed at me on C4 I can't say the same for those other sites. I think it depends everybody has the site that works for them.
