Re: Suggestions to models both new and old from a viewers PO
2. (Probably the most important to be successful) Be involved with your viewers and build up some type of a relationship with your regulars. Many viewers will tip you just for the company even with your clothes on. Also use something like Twitter or Facebook to communicate with your followers when you’re off cam.
Using Twitter && Facebook has brought on many more problems && hinderances than anything good for me. So I choose not to use them. I have my own blog, && that's good enough for me.
3. Don’t only get naked in group or privates unless you have a good reason not to. We want to see what we are paying for first. Do a countdown to get naked and then stay naked for a while. None of this 2 minutes and then it’s time for another countdown BS.
I have a damn good reason for NOT getting naked. && I don't. It seems to work out okay for me. && I will keep doing just that. I don't play the bullshit game of sampling before paying. You don't get to sample food at the grocery store, so why the fuck should I be any different? As far as my countdowns, I do long shows when I finish my countdowns, so that's not a problem for me.
.
4. Don’t constantly put your clothes back on and make guys tip to get naked again. This gets old fast so do a countdown and stay naked the rest of the night.
FUCK THAT. I don't do free shit. If someone wants to see the good, they can pay for it. This is a JOB.
5. Don’t constantly leave; going offline every X amount of time will have your viewers going to someone more consistent. I at least one model that starts to build up a room and then leave for no reason and without saying anything before she goes. Their one minute and gone the next should be her cam name.
I leave when it's slow, so I don't ram my camscore into the ground, because I have worked damn hard to bring it up. But I ALWAYS say something when I leave, && I don't do it frequently.
7. After your tippers have completed a countdown give them what they paid for. No one likes a second countdown for what we just paid for. Under no circumstances should you leave after a countdown has been completed. I’ve seen models do this and even your most loyal fans will turn on you in a second and it gets ugly fast.
I always give what people paid for. Chicks that don't piss me the fuck off. Now, if there's a whole different crowd that comes in, && the people that have tipped my countdown have gone, I am covering the shit fuck up, unless the other people start chipping in.
12. If it’s a slow night and no one is tipping get over it. No one wants to hear a model bitch every 2 minutes that we are cheap and threatening to go to bed or whatever if we don’t tip her.
Then get the fuck out of that models room. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO say shit, or else people won't tip.
13. Don’t yawn and bitch that you’re bored or tired. It’s the models (your) job to keep things going and fun. If you don’t participate your viewers won’t either and they probably won’t tip.
BULLSHIT. It's not SOLELY the models job. I've sat there && been entertaining as fuck, to a room of 80 fucking people, && had people NOT talk back to me. Then I sign the fuck off, cause that shit is worthless.
18. If your cam or computer sucks ballz get a new one. Put it on your amazon wish list if you can’t afford it. You need quality tools to do your job right or people won’t like what they are getting.
Well, unfortunately, it TAKES MONEY, TO MAKE MONEY. && I've had a wishlist for a long time, no one ever buys anything off it. I started with a POS built in cam, that has fucked the fucked up sound. I had no choice. It was either that, or nothing at all. I built up from there, && when I was able to, I bought myself a brand new C910.
20. Don’t expect something for nothing and then get pissed at your room from no one tipping.
Same goes for you. Why the fuck should I show you shit, when you haven't tipped for it? EXACTLY.
21. Most viewers would rather hear your voice then whatever music you want to listen to.
I personally don't give a rat's ass if people don't like the music I choose to listen to. It's MY room. If that puts them off, I don't want them there.
22. You’re going to get capped on a daily basis. Eventually one of these videos is going to show up online for download. Figure out now how you’re going to deal with this now and don’t come into your room talking about how mad and violated you feel. You have been forewarned.
Pretty sure we can still express ourselves if we want. You sound like a GIANT douchebag. Yeah, I see your point, && agree with some of what you've said. I see a lot of RIDICULOUS ASS SHIT ALL THE TIME, && it annoys the fuck out of me. So yea, you've had some good points. But at the end of the day, this came off as bossy && domineering as fuck, rather than "helpful" which is why I said that you SOUND like a giant douchebag. At the end of the day, I don't give a shit about what everyone else thinks. I do whatever the fuck I want. && I make money doing it. I don't make an ape fuck shit ton of money, but for the things that I DO do, I think I do pretty well.
Yes I read the Member's Pet Peeves thread
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1295but felt a summary of some things was needed for those who aren't going to read a 12 page thread. The level on which I see these things happening has seriously made me think about starting a studio just so I can help new models get on their feet and really make some good money rather than wasting their time every day. If anyone wants to add to this list if I missed anything, please do so as it can only make things better for everyone.
