I really really really really DO NOT want to ask for tips. Usually i lay it out, like, "you don't have to tip, but i like tips"
Unfortunately, you are NOT going to make money that way. It trains your viewers to expect freebies, and to think that they never have to tip. In addition, people who have no intention of tipping ever are going to populate your room, because, hey, look at all the free shit this chick's giving away! A site like Streamate may be a better idea, because it's standard for models to reply "tip or take me private" when asked a question, and the understanding is that it's a pay-to-play site and there's very little ability for people to freeload. I charge for
everything on Streamate. Want me to take my hair down? Tip. Stand up? Tip. Smile? I
was smiling, but if you want a bigger smile, tip. Blow a kiss? Tip. Show my armpits? Tip. Feet bb? Tip. Show x piece of clothing that does it for them? Tip. About 60% of the time, they do actually tip or go private when I remind them, 39% just leave because they're not getting the freebie they were trying to weasel out of me, and 1% whine about how they deserve freebies because reasons. If they go on with the the "show x and I tip after", "show x and I go private", or "I want to get to know you," it's ban-time. "mmmmmmm hot bb show ass" doesn't pay my bills, paying to see my ass does.
I remind folks politely but firmly that everything they're asking has a price.
"Sure, I'll absolutely stand up for you, for 1 Gold"
"I'll be more than happy to show you my ass for 5 Gold"
"I would love to model high heels for you in private"
I say this all in my cheery customer service voice, often referencing that the price for their request is listed in my topic, and it's hard for them to get mad at me pointing out what they've already read upon entering my room.
