Camgirls: iFriends vs. StreamRay vs. Tricams vs. I'mLive vs. Castview [PIC]
 

I'm ready to jump into cams, but would love to hear some other cam girl experiences with these networks. I've done some hahahahahahahahahahahaha searching, but most of what I've found involves conversions...not cam girl experiences.

Who has the best traffic?

Can I work more than one network at a time?

Can you suggest some good $$$ making strategies to complement cam work?

How do you handle the leeches and assholes?

Thanks for any advice you can offer! :thumbsup

It's probably not a good idea to let a leech get anywhere near your asshole.

use them all.

hrmm tricams was good..castview never heard of but i know the tricams cheques came as "castview"

streammates is good...

there are alot of good ones all depends on what u will do

:2 cents:

Cute. Very Very Sick. But cute.

I think Castview is the provider for HomeSexNetwork.

homesexnetwork = tricams = mtree

same thing.. if u havent noticed if ur on one ur on the other.. same thing (atleast when i was on)

great program though

they also were going to launch guycast but not sure what happend with it..

ie goto http://www.tricams.com/index_chathost.html you will see how its under castview..

Ive done ifriends years ago as couples made pretty good money, about 500 a day for 4 hours work, tried there a few months ago and it was crap, really dead, talked to a friend that is still there and they said girls home alone is the thing to do but make sure you have 3-6 computers working at once. and I suppose don't give up cause you need to work up a customer list of ppl that keep returning to you.

best of luck.

That IS some good advice, thanks!

Cool. Thanks for helping to clear that up for me. :thumbsup

3-6 computers at once? You mean to get listed 3 -6 times? Can's you just use more PCI cards in the same PC ?

I'm afraid I missed the point, please explain.

I work at streamray and can give you the lowdown if you want... ICQ 256832963

Thanks FuckSakes!

What do you mean by needing 3-6 computers running at once though? Is this so I can do several private sessions at once? Sorry if I'm dense. :)

When I used to cam I had 3 cams going at once and would work at:

www.legendarylars.com
www.tricams.com
www.sexxyeyes.com

I worked 3 weeks out of the month, a couple hours a day and could pull in an easy $2000. Summer months are really slow. My best month was alway December when guys are lonely for the holidays. Made an easy $10,000 which went right to the tuition bill due in January. Keep in mind that you will get 1099's for these, so always keep a stash of cash available for when your taxes are due.

I have worked on ifriends but with so many girls on at once (1800-2000 at any given moment) it made it difficult if not impossible to make a good buck. There are some girls on there that make big bucks but it's a combination of loyal big spenders, sales off of their websites and fan pages, and also products sold.

:2 cents:

whats hard to understand, each computer and stage name gets you a spot on the search at ifriends. or each computer and stage name gets you a job as a cam girl. 6 computer and 6 stage names, equal 6 jobs or 6 chances in the seach at one site.

alot of girls work in studios "and get ripped off" from my ex girlfriend past. where guys get each girl on 3 computers and pays them 10 bucks an hour. I dont know about now but back than studios had to of been making some good cash.

Is a couple hours a week like 12 hours or like 25 ? $2000 a month if you are on 3 hours a day 15 days a week works. $2000 for 8 hours a day 20 days a month would blow, lol.

Would you ahve to go through the ifirends verification process 6 times? With 6 names? And get 6 different checks?

Thanks

Forgot to mention, I made the most money in the following order:

www.legendarylars.com (most)
www.tricams.com
www.sexxyeyes.com

The flip side is that legendarylars has the most leeches/assholes in your free chat room. The only solution is to either hang out in pay chat, or keep your finger on the BAN button and keep kicking the assholes out of your free chat.

LOL!

Kard63. You're asking all my questions for me. Thanks. :winkwink:

no you can have 6 stage names.

I asked this two days ago and no one responded. They like you better :winkwink:


So I'll keep asking for you :thumbsup LOL

Brilliant! Thanks for the heads up! :Graucho

nah, a couple hours a week if that. It's all about the timing. You'll get a feel for the traffic flow on each site. Mondays were always good days because the guys are back at work surfing porn. Weekends are dead because they are home with their families.

LARS

yeah pretty gross the amount of guys we had that were back at the office early monday just so they can jerk it. makes me think twice about shaking hands with these professionals behind the desk.

So would you spoof 3 accounts on 4 different services? LOL 12 chats running? Better have audio.... your not typing to all of them ,lol.

Another way to make money while your on these cam networks..

get a domain name and set up a page linking to all the places you are doing cam.. sign up as an affiliate .. make the % from sending traffic there... post photos... get people interested in you.. put up a schedule of when you'll be on..

hell ...

create a paysite.. create members only deals... members only IM contact info or email addresses & a guestcam too.. those help in getting guys interested in 1on1 shows...

also.. if you do end up wanting a paysite..
hit me up.. i have more ideas..

Goodluck on this one!

try us out...

Excellent post ColetteX! Thank you.

Wondering if any of the networks provide a way for me to insert a thumbnail-sized sample of my live feed right into my own website? Something like...


-= I'M LIVE NOW! =-

Click video to chat now!


If the networks don't provide a specific method for this, do you know how it could be done?

I bought a PowerPod from TrackerCam. Anyone used it before? Looks like it will be really cool!

Goodluck on those ideas!

Bump... for the early morning folks.... :winkwink:

What Jenn said, exactly.....Tricams and Streamate are very good from personal experience, and there are lots out there, like Jenn said, depending on what you're willing to do! :2 cents:

PrivateCamz.Com has something kind of like that...

the flash buttons you see on the front page... 15 seconds of them live is available for anyone to place on their site..

Cool I'll check it out right now.....

Tricams=Home Sex Network: used to be excellent, however when mtree dropped them for streamate, traffic went south....There seems to have been extra traffic over the last couple of weeks though. (pushed by ARS)

Streamate: top performer right now, you can do very well on there. They are pushed by mTree, Epiccash and Wegcash. However, since they introduced the free guest thing, revenues have gone down a bit. Drawback is that they registered members get free chat with a large screen, so get used to a lot of begging.

iFriends: You can have as many id as you want. You will need to do the paperwork once for your iFriends ID Card, then once the ID Card is approved, they will let you create noew screen name without going through the paperwork hassle (Anyone who work for iFriends know how anal they are with paperwork!!! ) The only money to make money nowadays of IF is too have multiple screen names running at once, you'll need a different IP for each name you run...

Privatecamz: You can work there only if you also broadcast on Camz, therefore unless you have your own site, it will not be worth it for you. ON Camz you need to do a 1 hour show a week, that is used for paysites member's area. By doing so, Camz will also allow you to broadcast on Privatecamz, you can make good money once you get some followers from the Camz shows.

Imlive: I can't really give a comment on them, not enough data, however it seems that some camgirls do fairly well, and other justy sit there and do nothing. They are pushed by Pussycash.

Spread4U: If you do the free to pay, you will get very busy, but you must be good to convert free loaders into paychat. Once you've been on long enough, you can log in as paychat only and make decent money. They are pushed by Webcamcash.

Sexxyeyes: They have a higher per minute charge and also a higher commission, not many live broadcaster at once. They have quite a few heavy spender, if you can swing one your way, then you'll make nice $$$.

Livewebfriends: Fairly new site, seems to have decent traffic, drawback is that you'll have to deal with 4 free minutes shows, but most of the time the free shows will go back as pay customer.

Keen/Niteflirt: Not as known by webmasters, you can make very good money there, it works with phone, at first it was a phone only service for psychic, they opened up to camgirls a while back. Good thing is that it won't tie up a feed all the time, customer first call and then you turn on your cam (usually Yahoo or Eyeball)

Streamray: No info available yet, account opening in process, I'll post back when we have some infos. However, from talking to many people, it seems like you can make very good money there...

If you have a good video card, that allows you to pull more than 1 feed from your camcorder, then you will be able to work multiple network at once. Try Videum cards with a camcorder hooked up with a S Video cable, I have seen that set up running 6 shows at once, then you can add 1 USB cam and 1 Firewire cam for 2 extra feed. Keep in mind that you will need high upload bandwidth, otherwise your feed will look like shit. I usually recommend no more than 4 feeds on 1 PC with at least 520kb up. So, if you have 3 PC's running, you could have 12 feeds. I would also recommend having a "friend" that will do the typing for you, otherwise you will not be able to make everybody happy.
Most of the camgirl site owners "must know" about the multiple feed thing, however as long as you make their customer happy, I don't think that they mind.
When doing shows, never ever discuss other site, and when some retard says that he saw you on another site, just get rid of them.
You will also encounter the phone and cam2cam question. Check with your "Boss" before doing that. Most will allow phone, and most will not allow cam2cam using Yahoo. Some like iFriends have a built in phone option, some like Privatecamz have a cam2cam built in option.

I think that's it, if you have any questions, just hit me up.
