    Default Some camming advice

    Okay here is the situation been with a site since 2007 and made decent money with them cams.com or streamray.com however they have within the last year had massive multiple issues with technical problems. Also starting to see some really shady stuff on payout that I as of tonight do not have a good answer on. I have worked with naked.com when it was in its glory made massively good money there but I understand they have went WAY down hill so probably not somewhere I want to be. I have been with flirt4free.com and was never really happy with their convertible traffic meaning got lots of people but none that were really good buyers. I tried streammate years ago and it was okay but I probably did not give it the attention it deserved also did not like that $100 hold out. I am not a fan of IMlive. I am thinking about converting over at the beginning of the year. Work around 8 hours a day every day so dont mind putting in the time. The current holdout with the site I am with is tiered so if you make $150 or under 30% over $150 to $1500 40% and over 1500$ then you make 50% but all the sudden getting hit with MASSIVE chargebacks that are not easily explained and increasing with each pay period. I am wanting a site that either has a low hold back say less than 50% OR does really good advertising with high conversion numbers. I dont mind paying for good customers is what I am getting at. I was thinking livejasmin, charbrute (sp), my free cams (sp), or possibly streammate. I know sites have techincal issues they all have issues at some point in their life span. What do any of you think of these and would you possibly recommend something else. Currently making around $600 a week off of camming alone. I am wanting to at least maintain that amount with the same hours put in. Camming is not the sole source of income. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am sad to be looking at leaving a site that has been such a huge part of my life for so long but I do not see things improving and the money is not increasing like i think it should nor is new convertible traffic. Also their advertising system for models SUCKS!

    Can you splitcam?

    I don't really think the site you describe exists any more. Oh how I wish it did! (and if it does please someone point me there lol). I think I've tried them all.

    Ifriends was like that back in ancient history but no more traffic there for me. Seems either take a small payout or get a large percentage and bring all your own traffic.

    Most days I have to run more than one site to make enough.

    It may not exist I have been known to chase dragons I do not split cam I was actually just reading up on that tonight here to see what I could learn and see it was worth the upgrades in technology. The bring your own traffic sites just suck ass there is no other way to put it and most the sites are not set up to make it friendly for us to bring them traffic they want the models to invest alot of time into building site specific stuff with little to no payoff in the end.

    I used to work on cams.com. Dear god run. I know people are complaining about SM problems but I still make as much in a week as I did in 2 on cams (with less hours). It's just like anything else, you have to put in the time. No chargebacks and you can charge soooo much more on SM. On cams I charged $2.99 member and $3.49 non, on sm I charge $5.99 pvt, $7.99 excl and no one BLINKS AN EYE at it.
    Double stream with cams for the first month so you have chatter in your room.I actually used two computers and two monitors but you can use something like many cams to split your stream. Use classic, not party chat, so no one can see who is IN your room. If you put in the time you can dooo eeet and cut off your cams thread. I swear they do a random lottery system for chargebacks, AND the VAT AND the fact that they don't do currency conversion ad just pay you in flat American dollars...ugh. Thanks for the $80 tip on a $300 euro tip when the euro was $2 to every $1.
    Feel free to dm me if you want any other tips, I have a few

    CamModelDirectory is a pretty great site imo. It can't come close to matching the big box sites like SM and MFC, but the traffic there is fairly steady. You get 75% commission for the first $500 (before commission) that you earn every month, then you get 80%- the minimum payout is $20. It's mainly for selling Skype shows, but you can also upload videos for sale, sell panties (etc), text sessions, photos, or kik/snapchat/etc packages as well. Support is pretty good- never had a problem with the webmaster personally, though I know other ladies have said otherwise. They also cover chargebacks, and you can hypothetically send your regular clients over there for a higher payout.

    My main complaints about the site are a) the freeloader to customer ratio is about 50/50 and b) the traffic, while steady, is still pretty low. All around though, it's a great site, easygoing, lots of fetish clients if that's your thing; I make decent money on there and have a few big spending regulars because of it.

    I think SM has always protected from chargebacks, I think she means a $100 minimum to cash out?

    what I was talking about was clear back in 2008 so a lot may have changed since then

    I am looking into this Cammodeldirectory it looks like it could be lucrative if worked right. I have over 500 already made movies as well as picture sets and hundreds of mp3's so content is not an issue. I already use skype for camming through NF so have a list of potentials already established through there.

    I've never had a ton of luck selling content or good on there lol. Have only ever sold 1 pair of panties. They also recently introduced the video listing so there isn't a way to search/browse for them which is a pretty big oversight imo.

    But all around, CMD is my favorite site. They have an ad listing system like NF (I think) for a bunch of different categories. I make between 200-500 a week there without bringing much personal traffic.

    I'd also recommend setting up a SkyPrivate account as well since you can 'splitcam' both sites with one 'chat room' (work Skype) without any trouble. I make very little on SP, but I get a show or two a week there if I stay logged on.

    If you have videos made, Clips4Sale. That is my whole advice here.
