    I'm glad to hear that because option 3 was concerning to me for all the reasons you took the time to write (and as always, thanks for your input). I agree, option 2 is the easiest for everyone involved.

    when Epoch started processing paypal in the US I thought about it - a lot. I decided against it for a couple of reasons:

    1) the payout percentage Epoch provides is quite low (85%). That's what the majority of LCMS listees currently receive, and I don't want to make it too easy for guys to use more expensive methods that end up costing listees money.

    2) in the US most guys have credit cards. in some Euro nations cc's aren't quite as ubiquitous, however the new payment options will be attractive to them

    3) Chargebacks. This is my primary factor in deciding against Epoch. When using an IPSP such as Epoch, CCBill or Verotel the merchant cannot challenge cb's. That's because the IPSP acts as an intermediary between the merchant and the bank, so they have to be careful to keep their cb ratio incredibly low. That means any client cb's are automatically granted.

    With my own merchant account I can challenge cb's, and thus far I have, successfully. LCMS has thus far had two cb's, the first I challenged and got reversed (meaning the bank and cc company sided with me and the funds were returned) and with the second I've arranged a repayment plan with the client who initiated a friendly fraud cb. I can't do any of that with an IPSP, and Epoch doesn't cover chargebacks. My new payment option will be cb-proof (irreversible) so that won't be an issue there. While cb's are not a big concern in indy, at the volumes LCMS processes they will occur every now and then, and I want to be in a position to fight them.

    4) Client trust. Most guys who are familiar with cams (esp indy) know that their credit card isn't going to get banged to kingdom come if they make a payment. I've always found that legit clients will always end up using a method I offer, even if they initially ask for paypal. For that reason I'm not sure the extra returns (if any) would be worth the hassle and cost of signing up.

    One really odd thing I've noticed is that since starting LCMS is that a small handful of clients who flat out refused to book through my personal site (they always insisted on using a listing site, even though it cost them more) now have no issue with booking me (and others) through LCMS. I think that's because they consider LCMS to be a neutral, established site (even though it's still quite new) compared to my own site which is obviously run by me, the service provider. It's pretty funny in that I don't hide the fact that I own LCMS, but still psychologically they feel more comfortable booking there, and do so. Beyond that I always respond to LCMS client feedback and concerns promptly, and I find that goes a long way towards establishing trust that their personal info (and $$$$) will be protected.

    I haven't made a definitive decision to never incorporate Epoch as an option, just at this point after thinking everything over I don't think the potential benefits outweigh the downsides. I want to make the site as client- and model-friendly as possible, and at this point I think using Epoch would skew that balance too far in the client's direction. Between my current cc processing and the new options I'll have client needs covered, arranged in a way that enables listees to receive the 80-85% payout percentage that attracted them to the site in the first place.

    thanks for your question, if I ever change my mind down the road I will let everyone know asap.

    Hi,
    I applied with LCMS a few days ago, made sure all needed info was included, and still haven't heard back. Can anyone tell me what the average return time is on emails? Thanks

    my usual turn around on profiles is within a day. I haven't received your email, I have no idea why as my domain email has no spambox within which it could get lost. Did you send it to [email protected] ? Either way, I'm sorry it didn't get through and I hope you don't feel slighted. If it's not too much hassle could you forward it to [email protected]?

    apologies again, and thank you for joining

    I am up for it, and like MH I do blocks of a set time and amount, But.. I noticed when looking at my prices, that you don't have a pull down for $95, and I would have to up my $90 to the $95. Hopefully you can put that on there!!! please

    ^^She can personalize your drop down menu. I've asked to have "odd" amounts added to my drop down menu multiple times (and will probably have do it again for the challenge).

    thanks MH, and @Tina the payment buttons are the easiest thing in the world to alter

    there's actually a few ways the buttons can be used. some chicas prefer '10 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins etc etc' instead of amounts in the main dropdown, with a separate button for tips. others have a main dropdown button, tip buttons in specific amounts and/or pricing tables, it's really just a matter of what works best for each individual. I added $95 to your button (and wicked that you're joining in), if there's any other adjustments you'd like just let me know (same goes for everyone else reading)

    hope everyone is having a wicked night

    Just a few quick questions about the aesthetics of the buttons and the pricing tables:

    For the pricing tables:
    Is it only possible to have 5 boxes in a row, or can you fit more than that?

    For the buttons:
    How many can fit in a row - is it just 4?
    Is it possible to make a section with two rows of buttons without having any weird spacing issues, such as a huge gap between the rows?
    Is there a limit to how many characters can fit on each button?

    Thanks!

    the pricing tables can have up to six rows, same goes for number of buttons in a single line. in terms of the gap above each tip button, that I can't get rid of (the space is eaten up by the horrid javascript with which I'm forced to work) but in terms of horizontal spacing that's not an issue unless the buttons are very small width-wise (again, spacing of the f#cking javascript). Due to the javascript though, two rows of tip buttons looks really oddly-spaced, aesthetically I'd def suggest against that.

    in terms of number of characters, there's no limit on that. the buttons width will be determined by the text, which is why visually larger lines look more aesthetically appealing than smaller lines (eg: 'Tip/Tribute $xx' will look better than '$xx'), particularly when they're all lined up in a row.

    also just want to mention (I know Laurie did above, thanks) that the button drop down menu can include integers of any amount, eg $69.92. I can also use text instead of numbers for those who prefer that (eg: '10 minutes' instead of '$79.97'). Particularly for chicas who set show prices that are odd numbers, show duration text looks far better than a dropdown list of confusing numbers, for that reason it also helps with client-usability. Same goes for the dropdown tip buttons, those can have words/phrases instead of amounts for those who prefer.

    I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in mind for your page hit me up once you have everything settled and I'll update your profile asap.

    For tip me, I'm curious what people think goes over better - the buttons or the drop down menu. I prefer the drop-down just because I have one customer who sends an absurd amount after each show - I don't think he'd click a $30 tribute button and go through payment processing 5 times. But I can see how having a button might encourage more tipping overall. What do you think?

    It's hard to provide numbers to assess which system works better, as it's not my business to go around asking what any given payment is for (as in, 'hey, was that a tip or a show payment'?). I would hazard a guess though that for most a dropdown button is more effective, as it allows guys to select the amount they want to tip, rather than giving a limited number of preset options. That's what I've always found anyways.

    A few chicas use preset tip buttons though and those are used regularly (I can tell by the specific amounts that keep getting sent). Still, those tips are built into their persona/service menus (as in, as part of sub/slave package 'x' the dude needs to send specific tributes each day after making the initial payment). So yeah, while for them that method is ideal, those are pretty specific situations that can't be extrapolated to every chica's unqiue business design. Personally I've always avoided using preset tips for that reason, I look at it like why limit the options of my clients?

    I looked at your profile, and after laughing about the cute "flexible like a bendy straw" bit, here are my thoughts for you. I like how you have your drop down menu selected by the minute, but I think it's also important that you have a drop down with money amounts, especially because you are offering other services besides just cam shows. On the other hand, I think having two drop down menus is not as clean-looking as it could be.

    If it's possible to do this (omg, LH, now I'm trying to get you to do weird page arrangements on other people's profiles, too, sorry!), maybe you could combine your two drop down menus into one, with the minute options on the top, and then monetary options below. For user friendliness, you might remove a few of your minute options (does anyone ever actually book a 55 minute show, and if they do, wouldn't you rather "encourage" them to book an hour instead?) So when clicked, your new menu would read like this:

    Select an Amount
    ---by the minute---
    10 minutes
    15 minutes
    30 minutes
    etc. etc.
    ---by the $---
    $10
    $15
    $20
    etc. etc.

    Then I would scrap your second drop down menu because you don't need it anymore, and I would replace it with 5 or 6 tip buttons, including one for your super-tipper, for example: $10, $20, $50, $75, $100, $150.

    I think this arrangement would give you a clean look with a lot of functionality, and would also give you the very noticeable green buttons to encourage more tipping. (Incidentally, this is not what I was thinking of doing for my own page, but I have at least two good ideas, and I can only use one of them. Your business and mine are different, and I think this is the idea that's better suited to you than to me.)

    please, I should really be paying all of y'all on sw (and off, for that matter) consulting fees for the wicked feedback and suggestions you've all made that have helped the site grow.

    For anyone who is attracted to MH's idea, I could easily create a dual pricing table, with one side for shows and the other for tips, I threw together a mock-up table to give a better idea of what I'm talking about.

    Name:  dual table.JPG
Views: 211
Size:  39.7 KB

    (obv. the buttons would have dropdown menus and can have whatever text is desired, I just used 'buy now' as the default)

    Are we on the same wavelength MH?

    That's really cool, too!

    What I was envisioning was just the single drop down menu, like most of us have on our pages. When you click on "Select Amount," the list that drops down would be a mixed list, including both minute options and dollar options. Preferably there would be a handful of minute options at the top of the list, followed by the list of dollar amounts. The guys who just want to buy XX minutes can pick the easy option right at the top, but if they need to enter a specific dollar amount, they just scroll down to the $$ options. So when clicking the one drop down, the single list would literally look something like:
    Select an Amount
    ---by the minute---
    10 minutes
    15 minutes
    20 minutes
    30 minutes
    45 minutes
    60 minutes
    ---by the $---
    $10
    $15
    $20
    $25
    $30
    ...
    The ---by the minute--- and ---by the $--- lines are optional, but make it a bit more tidy.

    I was thinking you could combine them that way based on other (much longer) drop down menus that ask about things like location, and look like:
    Choose Your Location
    --US States--
    Alabama
    Alaska
    Arizona
    Arkansas
    ...
    --Countries--
    Canada
    United Kingdom
    Australia
    Afghanistan
    Albania
    ...
    Does that make sense? It seems like it should be very doable, since it would just be adding more options to the existing drop down menu, but I don't really know. Do you think it would be user friendly? I had thought that it would be very functional and uncluttered that way, but maybe guys would find it confusing?

    clearly I need more coffee (that or a break from this machine). I read your post and did a double take; is she not who I think she is? doesn't she already get bookings all the time on LCMS? then I remembered, you mean the multi-page site take your time, it's there whenever you're ready to use it.

    as far as the first item, the combined 'time period' and 'monetary amount' button, I could easily do that. I guess I just worry that the list would be so long that guys might find it confusing. As in, what am I supposed to choose? I can do it so chicas are welcome to it, I just suspect that streamlining things to that extent might cause more confusion than it would prevent.

    as far as the city/nation thing, again I probably need coffee but you've totally lost me, what would the purpose of that be? If the point is to get guys off the page over to the payment page where they enter their cc details, what purpose would that sort of dropdown serve? The notification emails list city/nation info anyways so every chica has access to that info on her clients already. Like I said, if I'm missing something apologies, I just can't see the purpose behind that. You're brilliant so I'm sure there is one, fill me in when you get a chance

    thanks again for everyone's input, and please keep the suggestions coming as the site grows. things will be changing pretty dramatically over the next couple of months, I have a whole bunch of new features/payment options in the works but there are only so many hours in a day so it feels like everything is inching along.

    what isn't inching along though is site earnings. February blew every other month away by a mile and it's only the 20th of March and we've already surpassed it. Insane. I know I keep saying this but thank you all so much for supporting LCMS, the success of this site is entirely due to each of you who've chosen to participate.

    hope everyone is having a wicked $$$$$ night

    Yeah, I was wondering about that, too. I think it could go either way.

    Nooo, I should have been more clear. That was definitely NOT a recommendation for LCMS, lol. It was just an example of one type of common drop down list that is divided up into two sections within a single drop down. I was trying to make a comparison to something we've probably all seen on one site or another, so it would be easier to envision (because I was struggling to figure out how to parse together an actual photo example of what I was talking about). Sorry about that!

    hihi loveshooks - I've been out of camming for a while but am going to be back at it soon. Looking forward to all your great updates! I'm wondering if being able to edit our own profiles means we'll have more control over designing our pages? I would really love it if my LCMS page could match the branding/design I'm hoping to get out in a few months when I finish up school, but I can be a bit of a control freak about it!

    MH and LH are my heroes. You ladies are inspirationally thoughtful and meticulous -

    I thought about MH's suggestion of a single dropdown with amounts and time before - and while I like it in theory and I totally understand your distaste for the two vertically placed dropdown menus (I feel the same every time I look at my own page) I think my issue comes with the fact that few guys will scroll down to the end of the dropdown menu to find the tip amounts. The one thing that I try to apply continually to the design of my profiles, etc from my time in the humanities is that even the most miniscule difference in difficulty will make a large difference in whether people will go that extra distance. I'd rather have my links, my tip processors, anything that converts traffic/payment as easily accessible as technically possible. In fact, my next project is to ask LH if there's a direct link I can send at the end of a session that will send guys directly to the payment processor of a tribute.

    I only thought that a horizonally placed table of dropdowns as LH mentioned wasn't possible because I must have misread your (LH-MH) exchange a couple pages before. If it is, I would LOVE to have that in place! LH, I fuggin LURVE that you took the time out to look at my page.

    And finally, LH I wanted to say that us cam models are always going to do what we're going to do - be awesomesauce and make dat dough - if LCMS is beyond thriving, it's only because we're all flocking to what YOU'VE made possible.

    Right back at you!

    The one thing that I try to apply continually to the design of my profiles, etc from my time in the humanities is that even the most miniscule difference in difficulty will make a large difference in whether people will go that extra distance. I'd rather have my links, my tip processors, anything that converts traffic/payment as easily accessible as technically possible.
    ^^This is so smart and well stated (my mental panties completely dropped)! In my brain, I know that it's true, and I try to keep it in mind with everything, but in my heart I struggle constantly to come to grips with it. My background is in arts and lit, so my instincts always tell me, "Don't worry - they'll figure it out! It just has to be beautiful, well-written, and enticing, and then they'll want to make the extra effort!" You're right, though. There's pretty much irrefutable evidence, my own habits included, that shows that "effort conservation" (laziness) is a huge factor in behavior and choices.

    In fact, my next project is to ask LH if there's a direct link I can send at the end of a session that will send guys directly to the payment processor of a tribute.
    Oooo! Good thought! I'm honestly pretty shy about suggesting tributes/tips, and 90% of the time I even forget to ask for reviews, so I suspect I would fail to use the link, but it's still a great idea.

    Oh I totally get it. As you see in my profile, I totally drop that for my bio and shizz (it's the same for my SM bio). I can't deal with incompetent assholes anyway so I feel like anyone getting to know a model who doesn't read the bio before talking to me isn't really for me. I feel like I'm trying to attract a certain kind of guy and the long bios tend to accomplish that.

    But effort conservation (thanks, I blanked on the term!) is something I'm lazy about but which I'm constantly aware of with the technical shit. Mostly my spotty Twitter game.

    Out of curiosity, might I see your LCMS to note some of our differences? NP if not, but if you're chill with it, PM? ^_^

    I wanted to say... it is so nice to see a site owner that takes the Cammodels opinions and uses them, and other camgirls helping out eachother out!!! I think that LCMS is going to be THE BEST INDY site there is!!! No matter if we are in the same "niche" or not. we are all different in how and what we offer. Thank you LS for providing a great INDY site!!! Camgirl for camgirls!!!

    so much awesomeness here, I'll go through the items/ideas one by one below

I was trying to make a comparison to something we've probably all seen on one site or another, so it would be easier to envision (because I was struggling to figure out how to parse together an actual photo example of what I was talking about). Sorry about that!
    thanks for clarifying yeah, I totally misread you, apologies for that. I LOVE your idea about side-by-side buttons, I've already added that to one page, and if any other chicas who would like that set-up just let me know

    in terms of actual page design, I won't be putting that in as a back end any time soon as that would mean completely re-hauling the CMS (as not every chica knows html/css). I can't justify the expense and time that would take when other things (like traffic acquisition) have a much larger impact on listee user-experience. What I mean by 'back end' is an area where chicas can input updates that I then add to the page. While I personally prefer doing everything via email I know not every chica prefers that. Beyond the CMS issue, the idea of giving chicas carte blanche to publish new content without moderation worries me, as not every chica is familiar with things such as BRAM words.

    If you'd like to go in and recode your own page design you're welcome to do so though, hit me up if so and we can set that up. That goes for everyone, btw, there's no private info or clips stored in the site back end so I have no problem creating editor accounts for chicas who want to handle their page design themselves.

    ^^^thank you so much for that

    I LOVE your idea about post-show tributes, I know I've already messaged you about yours but for everyone else, I realized that unique payment confirmed pages are a snap to make. I've made a few already, to give an example that won't 'out' anyone here my own is at . Every time a guy makes a payment he's automatically redirected to the matching payment confirmed page rather than just the generic LCMS 'payment confirmed' page (to ensure that chicas get credited for their tips). If anyone else would like one let me know.

    me too, I think a lot of us are. thanks so much for this wicked convo that brought forth this idea

    ^^^chica, thank you so much tbh that is my long term goal, I know it won't happen overnight but considering how rapidly I have to keep updating my projections as the site surpasses them, I think (hope!!!) that will happen much sooner than I could have ever anticipated.

    I think this thread is a wicked example of what cam chicas have to offer to businesses, in that no one knows more about how to make $$$$ than the ones who do it every day. I'm only half joking when I write that y'all should be charging me for this. That so many of you have chosen to pool knowledge for mutual benefit amongst all indy chicas here is so fucking cool because that's what I wanted this site to be as I was building it. I didn't want to build 'just another site', rather I wanted to create a venue for chicas new and experienced to learn from each other and participate in a collective effort to elevate this niche while raising a payout bar that hasn't been raised since I joined the niche. And it's all happening, so fucking cool

    Apologies for that spiel, I just wanted to respond in particular to the 'camgirls for camgirls' reference as it hit me when I read it (that's why I took so long to respond, I wanted to take the time to compose a reply to your post in a way that reflects/articulates how I responded to reading it). if there was a slogan for my goal in designing the site that would be it. I'd actually like to adopt it as a slogan if you don't mind.

    y'all are amazing, hope everyone is having a wicked $$$$ night
