Require tips to PM?

[vikkinlynn]

Hey girls!
So I just started doing the cam girl thing. I feel like I have SO many questions.
Guys keep messaging me saying if I do "insert something here" they'll tell me how I can require tips to PM. It's usually something like skyping or giving them my number and I'm really not comfortable with any of that. I was wondering if any of you could help me out?
I probably won't do it for a while, but it seems legit.
I was also wondering how you make the photo albums that they have to get a password for?
Thanks in advance!

These guys are just trying to use you because you're a newbie.

To charge for PM privileges, change your PM settings to 'friends only' and then charge members 100 or 200 tokens (or whatever amount) to be added to your friends list.

NEVER listen to a member who says he will give you something if you just give him a free sex show first or your phone number first (and you would never give away your REAL phone number, right? Please say you never have and never will).

You can get all of your infos here, 97% of 'helpful' members are outright scamming you or are giving you bad information they believe is legit.

We have a super useful thread on this already, I think its in models only.

Personally I found that when I used to charge for PM privelleges, I would have a lot of members feeling entitled to take up a great deal of my attention for only 50-100 tokens. ITs NOT worth neglecting the rest of your room. These guys would also get buthurt when I wouldnt give them undivided special attention and dirty talk because they tipped for PMs a month ago :roll:

Now I only add members I truly consider friends, and Im much happier for it. They respect that I need to focus on the chatroom. :twocents-02cents:

I always love when some member enters a model's room that he hasn't visited in 6 months and immediately begins complaining that he is no longer on her friends' list. (Maybe its because you aren't her friend.)

I've had two instances of this that made me LOL sooo hard!

1. I had pm's blocked for EVERYBODY! So "I'm not on your friend's list bb!" "Oh, yes you are, no one can pm me today!"

2. I had pm's open to everyone. Seriously, he complained about not being on my friends list, and I was like "um, pm's are open dude." He never even checked!

and then there's the guys who come in and immediately ask "how much for a friend's list add?" I tell them the truth "pm's are open, so being added to my friends list doesn't give you anything. If you want my undivided attention, take me private."

I adore the autoreply in pm. always have it set to say something, though I try to make it small and still be polite about it. (something like "Welcome! Public has precedence over pm. Thank you for your patience!" One dude actually had a conversation with my autoreply once!

"hey bb"
"ty bb. hru bb?"
"u sed that"
"fuk u"

I guess he failed to see the <autoreply> before each time?

:lol:

THIS. I had this issue last month. I clean out my friends list every 2 months and usually give a few days warning about it.

One guy who hadn't tipped or even been in my room since my first couple of weeks of camming got all upset and pissed off that he was no longer on my friends list. I told him as nicely as possible that I never see him around and he's always making excuses when he is that he can never tip (past the ONE time he tipped me to become my friend).

I don't care if someone can't tip every time you are online (that's just me personally) but for months at a time you never show in my room and then the 3-4 times you do you make excuses... that just doesn't work for me.

This.

And when I can see that you're right there in my room, don't try to PM me just to say hey. You see that I'm working. If you're against saying hi to me in front of everyone, then put it in a tip note. Now is not the time to be PMing me "Hey, Fox, I miss ya...how u been? Y'all get any snow? So what's new?"

I dont get why guys use pm for things like this. I make it clear that when they tip to get on my friends list that pm's are for *private* messages.

When they pm me things like that, I just answer them out loud. Im not going to stop entertaining my room and ignore it just to type "Hi" lol.

personally, i think that controlling PMs in some way, shape, or form is one of those little things that helps a model.
i say that mostly because i have a friend who is struggling right now: ever since i've known her, she's almost lived in PM....for her it's a language thing.....she's just more comfortable one on one.

sometimes of course, her room -because she can be so damn sexy, and so cute about it- will just take over. invariably, this ends up being a good day (i mentioned "feeding frenzy" somewhere else :lol: )....in that kind of situation, her language skills are just fine.

it's one of those observations that make me wanna sell myself as a "camland expert" :whistle:

Honestly, I don't require tips to pm. If a person ends up on my friend's list, it's because I like them. But I usually leave my pm's open anyway.

As to conversations in pm... well... for almost everybody except a very select few, they have no way to really chat with me off-camera. This is on purpose. I'm an introvert. If I'm not on camera, I wish you well, but please don't bother me. Unless you have my messenger, and you see that I'm online. Then, bother me! But very few people do I want to converse if I'm not in enough of a socializing mood to be on camera.

Now, this doesn't mean don't message me here, and it doesn't mean don't send me email or site-mail. Those, I don't mind checking in my off-time. That's a conversation that I can read when I feel like it, think about my answers, and respond when I feel up to it. Hence why it's really easy to get my email address.

This is why I always direct people to MFC mail.
If its not something they can ask me while I'm live on cam (and its never something that couldnt be asked in public, usually begging) then they'll have to wait until I have time/feel like looking. When Im on cam I'm focused on my chat and off cam = my personal time.
