    Default What do you do when your room is slow?

    And no one is really coming in or staying? What do you do to maybe attract people?

    I usually just try to keep a smile on my face while doing something else on the side. If someone comes in, I greet them and try to start conversation.

    I would usually get too impatient and log off. That is also probably why I didn't hardly make crap on live sites and switched to mostly indy camming.

    I don't do anything different. Sometimes it's just slow. I just browse the Web and wait for things to pick up...I do my shift regardless.

    My room was absolutely DEAD last night on SM. Guys would come in then leave within seconds. I'm sure it had something to do with the SM encoder being massively glitchy, but it was annoying as hell. At one point I was literally just chattering to myself. I'm sure if someone had actually been in the room, I would have looked mental, but it was the only thing keeping me sane. I was reading SW threads while I waited for someone ANYONE to say hello back…I was even seriously tempted to start knitting, but I'm not sure how hot that would have looked or if it would have made things better or worse. It drives me nuts to just sit there and wait - I'm an OCD multi-tasker. I have to be doing multiple things at once or I get antsy…so I'm typically trying to keep up with the SM thread here (up to page 467 so far) or looking up stuff online.

    Last night I lasted an hour before saying fuck it and going to spend some quality time with the hubs…that was seriously the longest hour EVER!

    I always tell the guys I am not staying on if nothing is going to happen. I mean it! Saying that has worked many times.

    Or, I just check out each site I am working for and see what site seems to be hopping, and jump on that site.

    I usually stand and tease a little bit for like 10 minutes. If that doesn't work, I log off for a bit and wait for a new wave of people for a couple hours.

    I've started logging off when it's really slow. I used to try to keep a conversation going, but now I'm doing this thing where I just smile/tease/stand up and dance a bit maybe but don't say anything until they talk to me. If you keep trying to get guys to talk who clearly just want to stare in silence, you will be exhausted.

    Tell them if they don't start tipping that I will log off soon. If it stays slow, then I log off for an hour and come back. SOMETIMES it's the same if not worse, but people will realize that your time is money and know you won't stay if you're not being tipped.

    Default Re: What do you do when your room is slow?

    I can only speak for SM, cuz thats the only site I'm working right now. When it's slow, sometimes I put on music and dance. I also put on the alert so I know when someone comes into my room, and I go on SW/surf the web.

    But I also try to remember-I only need 1 guy in private/exclusive at a time to be making money. So when traffic is low, I try to convert more of my traffic to a sale. I try that much harder to get each and every guy into private

    I have a rule in my room, If theres less then 15 people in my room i either put the cam on my boobs and surf the internet, or put the cam directly on my computer screen and let them watch themselves been cheap assholes.

    Seriously, Dont underestimate the amount you can embarrass someone just because of their screenname.
    Or how much you can honor someone by it either.

    Default Re: What do you do when your room is slow?

    I'm on MFC and naturally just very chatty, so ymmv, but I like to start talking about something. I am a bit dorky, but stuff like Star Trek (original vs Voyager vs Next Generation) seems to get the guys who are there involved, and other guys start magically appearing, and then things seem to turn around a bit. If that doesn't work, I dance for a song or two with a 10 minute timer on (props to BrownFox for that idea) and if no tips show up, I log off. Then I usually film a clip or two so I don't feel like the time is totally wasted.

    Chatty

    Default Re: What do you do when your room is slow?

    It kind of depends on where I'm camming. Normally I cam in a little walk-in closet so I don't have a lot of room to move around but if it's slow when I'm in there, I usually change outfits, play one of my computer games, or watch something funny. I try not to play something that gets me too involved or watch anything serious. I do things that make me laugh or giggle and that help me keep a smile on my face.

    When I do get to cam in the bedroom I usually just move around. Today, I've been going through my dresser trying on my clothes and getting rid of things I don't like but the whole time I'm just chatting and basically talking to myself but making it sound like I am talking to the room.

    I either get up and tease for a few minutes or I point the cam on my tits, either of those usually does the trick!

    Anything but continuing to sit there idle, that's probably the worst you could do. Get up and start moving!

    Default Re: What do you do when your room is slow?

    I work two different sites, but it's not split camming. I'll be logged into my phone sex/texting sites on my laptop while keeping my stream going on SM. I usually get a bite on one of the two. If all else fails, I straight up start doing homework on the desk in front of me until I get an alert that someone came in. Often, I'll start a gold show (because dudes will always pay $1 gold to see me naked, even doing nothing) for like 20 minutes. That often strums up interest in shows when I log back in or gets my regulars realizing they'd better pay if they wanna see me. Worked great tonight when it was dead--two regs who do long exclusives were put out that I was busy in a voyeur show and so I chatted with them in private on and off during it until they were both fighting to get me first for a private show afterwards.

    Default Re: What do you do when your room is slow?

    I normally stand for most of the time I'm on CB so if they aren't tipping and aren't chatty, I tell them I'm sitting my ass down and not getting up until they start tipping again. normally this works. I had 800 people in one night and no one was tipping whilst playing keno, so I said the next person that takes out a row (10 numbers) got a 15 minute pw show... worked like a charm. If there are less than 200 people in my room after 45 minutes and no one is tipping, I straight up tell them I'm getting offline.

    Default Re: What do you do when your room is slow?

    When I first started out I started dancing and teasing like mad to keep them in my room and get them pvt/excl. I also used a big electric fan (it was summer) which helped bec my hair was awesome bc of it flowing around, and it gave an great image (much movement).

    I have more favorites and regs now so when it slows down I slow down too, no need to spend all my energy in free chat. It doesnt work for me to do more in free chat, it doesnt turn out in a higher% for me.
    When I do to much they will just keep wanking in free chat, so I take it as a sign that I am doing to much/wearing to less. I always tell them "I'm getting cold and need to wear some more, but I just cant wait to loose it all for them again when we get to play together.
    I just dont take it personally when it slows down, either iam doing to much or there simply isnt a big spender around to afford my rates, but he can come any minute right?!

    I'll stand up and tease a bit. If that doesn't work, I log off and change something (either lighting, outfit, hair, position) and log back in In like 10 minutes with a new crowd of people.
