CHAOS
Chaos is the number of members in your free chat that are going nuts to see you naked, do certain acts, get to know you, typing in “CAPS” to get your attention, etc. Selling shows is a numbers game. The more visitors you can keep in your chat, the better.
We see your room having two doors…one where they enter and one where they exit. Let’s talk about how to close the exit door. Holding interest will effectively close the exit door and cause your User Count to go up. How do you hold interest as an online adult model? It’s not so hard, if you are actively posing, showing off and talking with some erotic overtones. Remember, this is a site based on SEX and bringing the subject back to SEX in subtle ways is critical to maintain User Count.
The more excited they are the more you will sell. We want to suggest that the best way to control your room is to let the comments fly, fast and furious. Do not attempt to control the chatters’ styles or whether or not they type in “CAPS” or lower case. You may have a brand new member that has no chat experience that has purchased 10, 20 or 30 minutes of time for a 1on1 show. Pissing off that new User by telling them to drop their “CAPS” could cost you a long show and a lot of minutes. Would you rather have all calm chatters typing in lower case or be selling more minutes and not caring about “CAPS” or the overall Chaos in your room?
The more Chaos you create the more brains you affect. Let’s face it, at $6 per minute of show time we MUST get their brains out of their heads! Men see their wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, secretaries and co-workers sit and type or do bills or watch TV every day, give them a reason to stay in your room that they cannot find in their real lives.
MIX IT UP
Why is it good to talk to the room as a group? We think 75% comments to the room as a group and 25% to individuals is a good mix. One of the best ways to control the chatters is to not pay each person too much attention. Comments to the group as a whole convey a very subtle message, and that message is; “If you want my individual attention, buy a 1 on 1 Private to get it.” We’re not saying don’t chat with the Free Chat people as a video chat model, but we are saying less chat directed at each individual person is a good thing. Acknowledging the new guy that just enters your chat room is very good. Even if his first comment is rude, you can let him know you see him with a simple, tolerating reply like “jeez NEW USER, aren’t you going to say Hi first?” At least they know you saw them and you’re not bringing the atmosphere down with negativity. After that, continue talking to the group.
USE HUMOR
Use HUMOR and a POSITIVE approach. We like the style of talking to the group as a whole, with less emphasis on individual chat because of the tone it sets. The message is: “I’m not here to make money; I’m just naturally horny and do this to get off.” It is truly amazing what the chatters will believe! We’re going to list some comments that we think are good things to say to the group when online modeling. The things you say to the room, as a group is limitless. If you strike a nerve with the chatters with one of your “come on” comments…run with it for all it’s worth, and let the chatters join in your “fake” fantasy. Below are a few examples:
• "I just took a nap and got online….I woke up so freakin' horny!!!"
• "I can't wait to get in a private show…I’m so horny I’m gonna cum in 5 minutes."
• "I'm going to treat my next private show to some close-ups my doctor's never even seen."
• "Who is a good enough cyber-lover in here to make me cum in a show tonight?"
• "I love knowing you are all getting hot watching me…I’m such an exhibitionist!"
• "mmmm, can't wait to get in a show tonight, I love being told what to do."
• "Are there any older men here? I have this new fantasy about older guys!"
• "I’ve been so bad…I was fantasizing about meeting one of you and letting you have your way with me….hehehe"
NEVER SAY NO
NEVER SAY “NO” in your chat rooms! This is so important and it takes creativity on your part to answer all questions with positive responses. We know it sounds impossible to always say yes, so let us give some examples of how to say “yes” to chatters’ questions (even when your REAL answer is no.) Remember, the idea is to get them in private, you can sweat the details after they are in the show.
SQUATTERS
What are they? Squatters are chatters that fall in love with you and spend every waking moment in your chat, but they NEVER buy a private show. How do you handle a Squatters type person as an internet model? The first is to stay polite but not give too much attention. Give just enough to keep them interested and coming back. Time works wonders for Squatters. They have common fears about credit card security on the web, they may be on a limited budget, and they may just not “believe” in sex that “isn’t the real thing.” I’m sure you’ve heard all the excuses from Squatter types. Here are a few different ways to handle these hard-to-sell people.
As a webcam model, it's important to remember to just stay nice. Don’t put too much attention on them and see if time works, and they eventually sign up and purchase credits. This is tricky because the more attention you give them, the happier they are not buying anything.
After giving them some special attention to bolster their egos, try this little trick:
• “Charlie, want to play a game with me?” (They will always say yes) “Okay Charlie, I’m going to put you on a chat time out until you sign up and get a show…;)” Make sure they see you giggling. If you try this, you need HUMOR with it.
Tell the customer how sweet they are and you understand how difficult it is to sign up and buy a show. Try to recruit them to help you sell your private shows. They’ll jump on this until they realize there is nothing in it for them.
Work one Squatter against another. Jealousy works wonders.
RUDE CUSTOMERS
No need to explain to you what a Rude Customer is. As a webcam model, you’ve seen all kinds of them in your chat. This suggestion is radical and takes some amount of pride swallowing but it’s very effective and you will ultimately win. Rude Customers are all looking for the same thing: ATTENTION. They go for the negative attention and one reason they act like this is that they are so good at getting what they want, and that is negative attention. What you have going for you though is the fact that all Rude Customers are children at heart, immature people that are easily controlled with some creative thinking. Try this once; it will work 9 times out of 10. We know your first impulse is to kick them out, bu try this formula. Compliment their behavior and then ask a personal question. For example:
RUDE CUSTOMER: (Makes a rude comment)
MODEL: "Oh my! You are so demanding….I like that, where are you from?"
We can almost guarantee this will catch them off-guard. It is the VERY last thing they expected to hear from you. The typical answer they give to this response is “I’m from Chicago, why?” They are totally dumbfounded and you have just taken control of the conversation. This is much easier than doing what we call “Swatting a Hornet.” When you take the negative approach with them and bitch them out and kick them out of your chat, they come back being more rude and even more annoying. It’s a lot more fun to control these types than escalate a fight with them. As an online adult model, you have to ALWAYS REMAIN POSITIVE AND HAPPY ON CAMERA.
ACTING VS. MODELING
We can’t tell you how many times we’ve come in a webcam model’s chat to see her complaining to her/his room visitors about how slow it is or how cheap they are or sitting looking bored and sad. Who in their right mind is going to spend Big $$$ per minute on a girl/guy that is sitting there all angry and upset? As a web model, you have to act, and it has to be an Oscar performance. The chatters cannot know you are upset or feeling down. THEY WANT HAPPY GIRLS and GUYS. You are an entertainer and a performer trying to set the mood.
Imagine this: a guy has a girl, guy or wife that’s all grumpy and mad. He waits for her to go to bed so he can get online and enjoy some hot girls/guys. He goes in your room and he sees you chatting about your problems! EXIT stage left!! He’s gone and so is his $$$. We expect every model to be an actor/actress and not to let the room chatters know you are unhappy or upset. If you cannot act fresh, cheerful and sexy, sign off and come back on when you can put on a happy, sexy face.
GAME: How many of your chatters and show buyers think they have good game? We’d say it’s right around 100%. What is your game? Is your game working? Do you always have a game plan in mind when you work your chat?
If you notice any of the webcam models you see that are in a long 1 on 1 show, you will notice the shows are usually talk shows, lots of typing with their outfits still on. There is a reason for that and the reason is the buyer is lonely and wants to talk. What do lonely buyers fantasize about? The lonely show buyer’s fantasies are different than the sex show buyer’s fantasies.
Lonely buyers fantasize about having a girl/guy like you, about dating you, courting you and maybe even being married to you. They want to introduce you to their friends, show you off and go out on the town with you on their arm. Lonely men do not want to end the show if they still have hope of reaching their fantasies. Sex show buyers on the other hand, masturbate and then leave. Appealing to the Lonely Buyer type is easy. ACT SINGLE! The game of acting single has to be subtle and coy. If you come on too strong they know you’re working them.
Men will refuse to believe you are single even if you are. But, they do believe that you are going through a breakup. Everyone can relate to that because most everyone goes through breakups or knows someone that has. If your room has a low key, underlying message of “I’m single and looking” that’s the best game you can put down. It will over time attract some lonely buyers, and with that comes longer shows with less physical work, more minutes and more $$$.
WHERE ARE THE BUYERS???? Are most buyers talking in Free Chat or lurking on the sidelines? How do you identify someone who will sign up and spend money? Are their countries that can’t get accounts because of high credit card fraud? What age is the average buyer? How do you know whom to target? With the system not having a way for webcam models to see who is a member and who isn’t it’s hard to know who to concentrate on and who to ignore. We will attempt to shed some light on where the buyers are and how to bring them in to chat with you.
Our statistics show that only about 15% of the chatters actually buy shows. That means two things: 85% of chatters do not buy. It also means that the majority of your buyers don’t ever talk in Free Chat! This is exactly why it’s so important how you respond to the chatter, you need to impress the buyers that are lurking in your room but staying quiet and not chatting. We can’t stress enough how important it is for you to realize that most buyers don’t chat in the Free Chat. Post a big sign on your monitor “I AM CHATTING TO IMPRESS THE NON CHATTERS.” This will remind you that most buyers do NOT chat in the Free Chat. They simply “window shop” and they browse the rooms until they find a webcam model worth going private with. Once in a Private show, and doing a great show its common to keep getting more and more customers in to spend. Because many of the spenders jump from model to model to see what is happening in private. Doing a great show with great quality video will tremendously increase your earnings as well.
BUZZWORDS
Are there words that just turn you off? We bet we could write 10 here that are an instant turn off for you. Do you think there are words the potential buyers hate to see the webcam models use? You bet there are! Along with buzz words goes pressure from you to make them buy. Imagine this scenario, a person goes into a strip club and before he can look around and get a feel for the club an anxious stripper comes up to him and grabs his hand and starts dragging him to the lap dance booth. What does he do? He reels back and says no! He wants to see the place, get comfortable and check out all the strippers first. Answering your chatters with instant demands for them to buy a show is the kiss of death to selling minutes. No one likes a pushy model; very few customers spend money on pushy models. Just because you have demanders and beggars in your chat doesn’t mean you should answer with begging and demanding. If there ever was a case of two wrongs don’t make a right, this is it! Be better than your chatters in your attitude; don’t stoop to their levels or methods. |
