Thanks for the reply. I'll give you some credit for identifying a type of member but that member isn't me. Her rate is low on CB but it's higher than it was when I found her. I told her to increase it. I also told her to stop doing Skype because that's even cheaper when it should be a premium. She is good at keeping the guys engaged when they do privates but her rate is low and not everyone tips her during the private. I think the low rate is alright if she encourages tipping during the show, but that can also be distracting.
I know exactly the situation you are describing. She has one guy that was taking her private for 1-2 hours 2 or 3 days every week. All he does is talk and she is literally sitting in a big terry bathrobe and fuzzy slippers (not sexy at all) usually eating or taking a nap. As expected, (as I told her) the guy is slowly fading away. He shows up every couple of weeks now but the damage is done. She is realizing that her steady fans tip more than this one guy, but it will take time for her to get a reliable base of members coming to her room.
In my defense, I think she likes me because I do things her studio is supposed to be doing. I made her a tip menu (she didn't have one), I added pictures and videos to her page, I changed her Bots, I added her Amazon Wish List, I set up her MFC Share, I edit her photos and videos, there's more but you get the idea. I try to be as inconspicuous as possible. I don't want the other members to see me in her room every day and I rarely talk to her when she is working. I usually park in the room just to be one more body in the room.
If I do a private with her, it's to get a new video for this week's MFC Shares. I buy 2000 tokens that gets about 30 minutes sometimes more depending on how much chatting we do. I only do privates when the room is dead. I really don't like buying tokens because she is only getting 1/3 of the money. I made her a spreadsheet to track her tokens for the year. It's nice for comparison and trends and whatnot but my main purpose was to show her how much she is losing to the studio. I think I am #3 on the tip list.
At this point, we are pretty good friends. I talk to her offline every day. I'm trying to get her to become independent so she can do some other things she would like to do.
Like I said, I understand what you are saying. I actually agree with you and I hope eventually one day she's too expensive for me.
