    Default Needing a refresher or some guidance!

    I've been stressing myself out today trying to figure out how to search for some of these things I need help with directly on this site and through this site on google. I get pages and pages of stuff unrelated threads/posts, so I figured I'd post a new thread since some of these are linked with different factors.

    Basically some of you know about my struggle this year with working (been sick while pregnant almost nonstop this year). My main site had been SM before I became pregnant. I haven't worked there since February though. All I've been doing this whole time is small shows and custom content on MGF because that was all I could handle. Here are some things I'd like refreshers/guidance on for getting back into working on SM as much as I can until baby comes:

    1. Persona/Personality on cam
    So towards the end of my active period I noticed I started getting a lot of guys who just wanted to talk in free chat a lot. I was kind of doing the VGF thing, and I did enjoy making those bonds with people, it just wasn't bring in any money. I feel like I way too nice/friendly. Is that such a thing in this business? That's kinda just how I naturally am. I'm so interested in upping my sex appeal, but I'm not sure how to do it without looking really awkward. I also wonder if ignoring people or not replying as much would help in my case. I honestly don't know how I can correct how I interact on cam to get guys to take me back into privates again. I don't even remember what I used to do.

    2. Rates (please take all listed into consideration) [Current rates: 4.99/7.99]
    • a. Should I edit my rates because I'm pregnant? Higher or lower? (I'm almost 9 months pregnant)
    • b. Inconsistency: I haven't really been on this year. Though I've never really had anyone complain about my rates, I feel like I don't get enough pvts. This may be related to #1? Is it beneficial for me to lower my rates until I can build my placement back up, and then gradually raise them again?
    • c. Penetration: I don't feel comfortable doing this so late in my pregnancy. Do you think this affects anything? I know before I got a lot of complainers and lost potential customers before.
    • d. Gold shows: I don't do them. I feel like I don't have enough people in my room at a time usually to start one, so I just don't. I also just kinda... don't really want to do them at all. Is there a reason I should? Do I need to adjust rates to account for not doing gold shows (may be a weird question, but i saw a post saying this before)?


    I appreciate any help I can get and will shower with many thanks!
    Trying to get my shit together... *_*

    I'll try to help since I'm also in the pregnancy category, so maybe some of this will work for you:

    1. I think you're being too friendly, and there is definitely such a thing as being TOO friendly to these guys in free chat. I would be friendly, but firm on what you are there for. For example, I will say "hi, how are you" or things like that, and I'll answer a few questions if they ask but I'm always focused on getting them into private. So I'll say things like "what are you in the mood for today?" or something like that. Or, if they are just kind of lurking and not acting like they want private at all I will flat out ask them, "so are you ready for a private show with me?" Or "are you ready to see my big sexy belly in private?" Of course ask them in a friendly/sexy/flirty way. Anything to prompt them into private chat. Sometimes they take me, sometimes they leave. But it weeds out the ones who are there for a show and the ones that are not.

    2. Being that pregnancy is a fetish, I don't think you should necessarily lower your rates. I MIGHT try $3.99 if you want to see if it will increase the number of privates you are getting, but I think $4.99 is still really reasonable for your category. I think that your problem is more that you are not hustling these guys, and you are just sort of hanging out with them, not really giving them any reason to get into private chat with you. Penetration - there's nothing inherently wrong with penetration up until you go into labor, so if you are worried about that, don't be. Unless your doctor says not to, you can if you wan to. If you just are not comfortable with it and don't want to do it, by all means don't do it! Pregnancy is a fetish, that's the great part. TONS of these guys don't even want to see you use toys, they just want to see your sexy pregnant body. You can do a lot and show a lot without using toys. I rarely use toys, only in gold shows or if someone asks and has been in private several minutes already. But using your hands, rubbing your curves, things like that, that is what most of the preggo lovers want to see. You should really play up the pregnancy fetish though. Use a profile picture that shows you are pregnant. Once I did that, traffic increased by A LOT for me, and I started getting more of the "right" kind of guys into my room. Gold shows - you don't HAVE to do them to make money. I still make most off of privates.

    Hope that helps some! Glad you are feeling well enough to get on cam a bit.
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    Thank you Sarah! You've been helpful to me a lot this year and I really appreciate it.

    I do need to work on my hustle more. I just get stuck in thinking none of these guys will take me in private if I don't give them a lot of attention or something.

    And yeah, I'm mostly just uncomfortable doing penetration atm. Not afraid or anything... maybe a little haha. But I'd rather just not do it, considering nothing's been up there since January... And I'm just not even turned on by the idea of penetration anymore.

    I do need to change my default picture as well.

    Thanks again!
