I am a Chaturbate cammodel, ask me anything
Hoping to redirect the conversation about any and all other topics from my Stripchat thread here, I am happy to respond to any questions you might have on any topics including the relationship between affiliates and models :food-smil10

Can we see some pics?

Hello Lili, do you know any models with extra massive boobs like the picture in my thumb? We are always hiring.

Hey,
Stripchat pops seem gone from our Russian friend's site when I just checked, banner creative only left. Halfway there? ^^ |
Hello Lili,
Since you have expertise in camming and affiliate marketing, and seem to have direct contact with models, what would you recommend as the best way to get models to stop cheating the system by telling users to clear cookies and sign up under them. I realize that the problem may not be as prevalent as it may sometimes seem but it is an issue. The current method of reporting models to Chaturbate and hoping the support takes action is quite cumbersome and frustrating. It is just whack a mole in the long run. Most of us (I think) would rather not having to be reporting models. Nobody wants to feel like they are ratting somebody out. I think we would all like to send models traffic. Some of us, if we are running an api loaded site, will just keep a filter list so when we learn of a model doing that we just make sure that none of our traffic goes directly to that model. Personally, I would like to send as much traffic as I can to as many models as I can but I do want the credit for my efforts to go to me and not be diverted along the way. So, as I said at the start, do you have any recommendations in this regard? Thanks in advance. . |

1) Long streaming sessions. Tell her to aim to be on cam for 4 hours at a bare minimum and to aim for 7-8 at a a time. This is because of the way CB's positioning works. When 2 models have the same number of viewers the model who has been on longest will be listed first. So this will give her an edge to climb the pages. 2) The first week is critical, she will get the "new" tag and she will be brand new to anyone waltzing in. She has to cam as much as she possibly can that first week, if she can pull all nighters, she should. This is especially so if she has a personality and a modicum of charisma. Personality camgirls are the most successful so the first couple of weeks she will hook the people who will be the building blocks of her incipient community. She shouldn't waste it. 3) If money is not a pressing issue, tell her not to get naked the first week and to focus all of her attention on having fun with her audience. No private shows, no tip menus, she needs to create a sense of expectation and intrigue before she should do anything else. Tell her to not even look at the tokens. She can do fun goals, but no nudity. 4) This ties in with (3) but she must not oversexualize herself. This is probably the biggest mistake new girls make. She is a person, not a niche or a fetish, she has to avoid branding herself after anything sexual. IE: avoid usenames like "BigBoobsCarla" or "TwerkingStacy" or "TightHoles". You attract the crowd you will then have to endure and it's best to aim for gentlemen and people who are there looking to be entertained not just a quick fap. They tip better, are more loyal and actually fun to interact with. All around better experience. 5) No PMs. No split camming. No phones on her desk. She is there to entertain and anything that distracts her from public chat must be kept shut tight. |

Then there are the locusts, the second group, these girls know perfectly well what they are doing and they don't care, they are willing to let the ship sink if that means they get a minimal advantage. It's like those piracy sites, exactly the same mechanic: neither cares what happens to the other side of the equation, they are willing to destroy an entire industry to keep themselves afloat, they have no qualms. These people will never change. The third group is the sheep. These girls know what they are doing is wrong... and perhaps they didn't steal at first, they had their own reservations, but they see how many do it, maybe she has seen her own members switch affiliate accounts to support another model on the site and they figure "why should I be the only decent one here?" so they join the bad crowd. What is the solution? First to know you will never change the locusts, they don't give a fuck and in those cases you do need to chase them if you want to stop them from doing this. CB support has been quite vigilant making sure models remove the "clear cookies" texts form their bios, but they can't do anything if the model approaches the member privately... say... on social media.. and asks them to signup with a new account. You need to be prepared to either fight them for it, or accept it as a part of the business. But there IS something we can do about the ignorant and the sheep. We need to educate the ignorant so they understand what the importance of the affiliate maketers is and how stealing from them puts them off the site entirely. How, when in 2014 MFC got too big for it's britches and decided to cut the affiliate program off they went to the shitter and Chaturbate overtook them in less than a year, they haven't been able to recover from that poor business choice and probably never will. Traffic is what makes our work possible, and we don't get traffic without affiliates. When models cheat the affiliates they go advertise something else. And then models complain about a drop in traffic and difficulty earning what they used to. It is all interlinked! And for the sheep I think shaming is the best tactic, but that would require to teach the ignorant and get a few of the big names all the other girls look up to in the wagon of "save the affiliates! fuck the cheaters!" which could be quite hard to do. If you want a piece of advice: no industry is perfectly efficient and there are losses and problems with any job. You put up a supermarket and you will have people stealing shit all the time, what do you do? you should put up better security systems? yeah, will you make it your mission to curb robberies in the US just to save your supermaket? that's an impossible utopia. What you do is you try to secure your own business as best you can and take into account robberies as part of the expenses. Same thing here. There will be stealing, always... very little you can do. Blacklisting models who ask members to clear cookies from your whitelabel is like placing a security system on your supermarket. But what you really should do is figure out a way to make so many signups that if they steal a handful is not a big deal. |

I agree completely. The problem is, who will do the educating? I imagine that if I wenet over to Amber's place and started threads that purported to "teach" the models somethingm, I would be greeted with a lot of shit. The thread would probably be pulled. That is because I am not a cam performer so what the hell am I doing trying to tell them how to run their business. The education, in my opinion, has to come from models to models. Thanks for your answer. Hope you stick around. . |

@Lili I agree completely with your three types of model approaches to trying to gain sign-ups, and @S as well that it probably wouldn't go over well for you to join a performer forum and try to 'educate'
to me cb is the real responsible party when it comes to the 'clear your cookies/use a new browser and sign up under my link' crowd I know cb is capable of monitoring their site...a friend of mine started camming when he lost his job due to covid and was streaming at my place one day. I had just woken up, didn't realize he was online, walked behind him to get to the kitchen and he got suspended for an unauthorized person on cam. I was on screen in the background for about all of 5 seconds he had signed up to another site at the same time but hadn't tried it, went there during his suspension, started banking from day 1 and never went back to cb point is, if cb could catch that, they can check profiles for cammers actively trying to steal clients. cb is the party dropping the ball here Quote:

But because of that it is harder to monitor and enforce the policies they do have. All in my opinion of course. Imagine a place where models and affiliate marketers actually worked together for a common goal. Both sides could make money hand over foot. It could be 1999 again ;p when pigs can fly :( . |
"focus all of her attention on having fun with her audience"
best advice a model will ever get.... just a suggestion that ties in with this, do not spam ur room so much with the in-house adbots that people cannot even CHAT in it... if evry word somebody types flies outta the chat right away due to tip menus and lovense timeouts there is literally no point in chatting in ur room :2 cents: |

Lili and I, we've both been on both sides so we know the drill, for a lot of performers they prob just see other top performers doing it and figure it must be ok (the 'ignorant' type Lili described). they are relatively new to the biz (cb tends to skew towards more youthful performers it seems) and don't understand the importance of affs who drive traffic to their rooms if cb were to enforce one rule: do not use your profile to encourage existing clients to create new accounts then most of the animosity between affs and talent would disappear affs and talent should work together, mos def each make more money that way. but cb isn't helping solve that one issue. that's on them. my rec on that would be to hook up with talent on twitter, with performers who don't pull that ish I don't have a solution, I just think that ultimately it's up to cb to either solve the issue...or not @Lili, I have a question for you if you don't mind that's not specifically cb-related: I've helped several friends who have had incomes drastically impacted by covid (tourist town), both male and female set up cam profiles. all of them Black cuz I live in a Black country none seem to really bank on cb. decent money, but not anything to write home about. in your experience (I haven't worked big box in over 14 years), what would you recommend as the best sites for Black performers? sm seems to be the best so far along with ttm, with cb good but not great for them. wondering if there are any I've missed in my recs on where to sign up? not looking to make money off helping them sign up, just want to steer them to sites with the best chance of success do you have any recs on that tip? hope nothing I wrote above comes across as trashing cb, which is a great site, and that everyone is having a wicked night =) |

Remove the ability and the problem solves itself. This would not take much to flag in their db. However I am not convinced that this problem is as prolific as some affiliates seem to think. Having spent a good amount of time going over my transaction stats for the last 9+years recently. |

It is Chaturbate's job to enforce their rules and they could do a better job of it. . |
I admire the willpower and staying power of the people in the CB stats gigathread, but ultimately the issue is: you're either making enough from a site or you're not. If not, it's just time to promote something else, but if you are, you're better off just accepting theft/occasional bad stats as a cost of doing business, rather than popping a vein over something you can't do anything to fix.
Only CB can fix this particular problem, by simply not allowing performers to use the affiliate program, whitelisting allowed links/URLs on profiles to a handful of social networks and banning anyone who tries to get around it. The fact that they don't do this should be a pretty big neon flashing sign that they don't care who they're paying 20% to as long as they're making money. Affiliates need to do the same: either find a way to get CB to give a shit or stop taking years off your life worrying about what you maybe, possibly, might be losing, and spend that time and energy on what you're making and how to increase it (not necessarily with CB). As for the cam models and affiliates getting along... LOL... cam models don't even get along with each other, and the same goes for affiliates, except when there's a common problem/scapegoat to gang up on. Everyone is in competition. Divided and ruled. |

When CB started pushing users back to affiliates that queried specific users, I went through my stats thoroughly to see if there were any patterns for users who had spent over a certain amount. Mass drop offs, sudden stop in spending etc etc etc Did not find any users worth querying, again that's not to say it does not occur, just not as frequently as is talked about here. I did notice long term spending for the majority of the higher spenders. |

But I would say that the locusts are the most ignorant and the ignorant are just naïve. Typical conversation with a locust: Them: Fuck you and your DMCA bullshit! I am not writing all of that and you cannot have my address and my fucking name you sick fuck!!! Take my shit down now!!!!! I will sick my lawyer on your ass and he'll have your balls for lunch!!! Me: Calm down. You didn't tell me anything that I can use to even look you up in my system. What is your username? Who do you work for? Them: FUCK YOU!!! TAKE IT DOWN NOW! YOU HAVE 2 HOURS! Me: Again, I don't know who you are. So give me your username. Them: Who in the fuck do you think you are stealing my content? ASSHOLE! Take it down now!!!! You have one more hour. Then I OWN YOU! Me: I'm just going to ignore you now. Bye! ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Another kind of locust: Them: Hello, I own my content and you cannot steal it. Please remove it immediately. I am __Butter_Cup_Butterfly. Me: Hello, I am an affiliate of Chaturbate. I send them traffic. People find you on my site and then follow links to your profile and join your fan club, tip you, etc. If you read your modeling agreement, you agreed that Chaturbate could use your likeness, images and stream for marketing purposes and that this extends to their affiliates as well. In your profile you have a little checkbox to "Appear on network sites" and you can uncheck it and you will stop showing up on my site(s). It even tells you, if you choose no you will get less traffic. This is because I am sending you fans, not taking them from you. I am like a newspaper boy on the corner selling more of your stories in the newspaper. Without us you will get half the traffic you normally get. Uncheck the box and hit up the support there asking to no longer be included in marketing materials. Them: I don't need your help, shithead! I have fans all over the world! I have social media promotions of my own, you blood sucker! You get money for nothing. I do ALL OF THE WORK! So remove my profile from your site! Me: It automatically disappears if you uncheck the box I told you about and as an extra precaution, ask them not to include you in marketing materials. Them: I guess we will do this the hard way then. Expect a letter from my lawyer! +++++++++++++++ In both cases, the letter never arrives. In both cases, they are clueless as to why they have so many fans. Yes, they are good at all of the 1 - 5 tips you gave. But they also cannot get blood from a turnip. You cannot get a following without surfers I provide. |
Working with cam models is like herding cats.

Now, about the rest of your post... I want to clarify a few things.. 1) CB is not perceived as a model friendly site by all models, in fact, most models consider them one of the worst sites to work on in terms of relationship with support. Models don't feel CB appreciates them for multiple reasons.. for example, they are ban-happy and will ban first, ask later sometimes with ludicrous reasons like "you look underage" even though they have your ID and you have been working their site for 6 years. Some models rely on CB income for their living and getting CB to respond and unban them when they get a BS ban like this can take weeks... then they struggle to pay rent (b) when there's issues with studios, or users, or affiliates they tend to side with the other parties, I know the perception from the POV of affiliates is different and perhaps the feeling here is they side with models because they allow them to use the affiliate program, but the perception among models is they always get the shit end of the stick.. and they are sometimes right... (c) They are probably the only camsite that charges models for chargebacks. Also: they used to be stupid strict up until like 2015 about linking anywhere. Model's couldn't even link their twitter accounts in their bios. It's only after winning and becoming the most popular site they have gotten more lax about it and allowed models to link to their social media and other sites. My opinion on the subject of the treatment CB gives models or affiliates for that matter, is different though, I do not envy Chaturbate support one bit, it must be really had to be at the epicenter of the tensions between 4 different groups of interest and not embarass yourself... they make a lot of mistakes but they try not to betray any group, maybe they lack a bit of a spine, but it's a very difficult balancing act. 2) You are right about them not being vigilant, I think I used the wrong word. What I meant is when people report a model for "clear cookies" in their bios they do issue warnings to the models and they do so manually. I wonder if they could put up a system to filter texts in bios.. like the do with raffle keywords, maybe they already do, it has been a long time since I saw anything like that in a bio. Also, the reason you friend got banned after you showed up on his stream is because for a while they had facial recognition software and would ban when a second face appeared on stream if there wasn't any other verified performers in the account. I once got banned for showing a video with a face on my phone screen. I think they might have done away with it since, but again, I dont know. |

There is no solution to this issue. It comes with the game. Affiliates need to understand while on paper it's "lifetime revshare" in the concrete practical reality there are limits when a member becomes too invested in a specific model simply because of the nature of the relationship, I have seen members tell support they want their % to go to the model they support or they will start supporting them through cashapp and onlyfans instead. This after learning from the model about the affiliate cut. And I am going to break a plate for the locusts here by trying to show you the other side of the coin... When I worked on MFC I had a "whale" who spent around $200k in two years. Keeping him happy was time consuming and unnerving, would pester me offsite to talk my ear off about his psychotic mother and his fox terrier and expected me to counsel him, would take over my time, and wouldn't respect any boundaries. I didn't get rid of the guy (I should have) because I was inexperienced and he was the source of 30% of my income, but the fact remains I earned about $100k after MFC's cut and did intensive labor to get that. And out there, in the world, there was some dude who made $30k in the same amount of time while eating cheetos in his slacks... all he did was provide a popup to click on and wash his hands. I would have very gladly given up $70k if it meant I could skip his long winded story about his uncle's funeral and his dog getting irritable bowel syndrome. So to some models the fact that they have to put up with certain members every day makes them feel justified in stealing the affiliate's cut. They don't see the daily work behind the affiliate's traffic and they believe it is simply putting up a pop-up and going to bed. In my opinion Chaturbate should explain very clearly to models what the role of the affiliate is and why it is important. They need to drill the idea into their heads so they understand why it is wrong to steal it by instructing existing members to create new accounts. Shaming tactics also work, we got people to stop smoking by teaching them why it is wrong and shaming those who didn't quit, it's a powerful tool but it has to be enforced from the top. |
Good thread. I'll just leave my mark here so I can easily find my way back.

The person who sent that click likely spent years of their life building a site that was trusted enough by their customer that the customer decided to click to a cam and spend all of that money. While the model is talking to that customer, the webmaster is working to send them future customers. The models are doing hard work, but so are the people who generates leads. The models understand that they need future leads. Cam sites should help them understand that if they cut out lead generators, their current customer could be their last. |

And that cheeto guy (I thought you had veered off to talk about Trump for a second) is (as you know) the reason you made $100k. Assuming he exists. Not everyone reaches CB through a referral link. BTW, if you would genuinely prefer $30k to $100k just to avoid talking to that guy you'd have stopped talking to him when you made $30k. :winkwink: |

Hi Lili!
Is it possible to become famous cam model from zero for a person who have been never did this before? |
@Lili - does your Chaturbate bio design look astonishing?
Usually webcam performers don't give much interest to that because its not their job to learn, know, adapt and apply marketing strategies and by all means, in online environment, image (branding) is a powerful calling card (not to mention the other benefits of having a profile page which works for you) |

Even MFC bought Onlyfans, a site that is 100% driven by model traffic and the models get the full affiliate cut since they get a 80% payout and look at how well Onlyfans is doing. Cutting models out of the equation when some of them have built massive followings on socials is shooting themselves on the foot. |
