Making a bio
- Many people will make a bio for you on Chaturbate, but a lot of times it will cost you. There are free options even if you know a little something about HTML. What I did myself was open up Power Point, and make a few slides. A slide for events that are going on, a description of who I am (my personality description and my physical description), a slide for the rules and things that will get you silenced, and a tip menu. Once all of the slide were made I would just view them in full screen, take screen shots, paste them into Microsoft word, save them to my computer, do a little cropping, and then upload them to tinypic.com and add the codes to my bio! Pretty simple. My bio isn't top grade but for now, and for free- I am satisfied. Here are some screenshots of my current bio below.
UPDATE 8/17/14: I created a new bio. It wasn't too hard, but did a lot with a photo editor and a background eraser. Here are the screenshots.
Creating social media
- As I am sure that most of you know, social media is huge! The more you are able to talk to your followers and let them know what is going on is the more they are going to want to visit you. I myself have made a Twitter (which Chaturbate will let you put on your bio), and a Facebook (cb will not allow this). This gives you a chance to keep your followers updated with the sexy things in life, events you are holding (such as raffles or contests) or even what time you will be on next! I love that I can talk to my regulars but you have to be careful because people will try to take advantage of you, they will annoy you, or even try to get your personal contact information.
- I would also recommend that you avoid doing Skype shows. Not only does Chaturbate not allow you to advertise them, but many many people will try to scam you. Many people will promise you things (never trust anyone! even a regular) and they will "buy" things off of your wishlists, but if it is not an Amazon E-gift card then do not follow through on it. Many people will "buy" something off of your wishlist and will cancel it or put it on a prepaid card and you will never get it. Also if you try to go the paypal route, I have heard bad things as well. If you are not aware, Paypal does not allow adult transactions and will eventually end up cancelling your account. I have heard that Giftrocket.com is a great alternate source but I heard that people have been scammed just as easily as they have been with Amazon wishlists. So beware, and try to stick to E-gift cards and tokens.
Make a regular schedule
- Many times your customers will have the same time availability as you do. I would recommend that you set a specific schedule and let your followers/customers know exactly when it is, even post it on your Chaturbate bio, and Twitter! I have people/regulars ask me frequently- "Are you going to be on Friday? I am getting a big pay check and I want to spoil you." If they already know, then BAM! Time to get spoiled.
Stay optimistic and Be nice!
- I know it can be hard especially on bad days, but you should always try to be optimistic and be nice to everyone even the grays! You don't have to tolerate the rude assholes, but I do recommend that you silence or ban them and move on. Sometimes I joke about them, and try to brush it off, because the reality is, sometimes some of those rude assholes can really have hurtful remarks, and I have to do what I can to bring myself back to positivity. Also no one likes complaining..Do not bring real life problems on cam, most men are there to get off, they most likely don't want to hear about how much you hate certain things in your life. Also that doesn't mean that they shouldn't know a bit..I tend to tell life stories all the time but usually using fake names or no names at all, it makes people feel like they are getting to know you, and from what I have experienced they want to hear funny things that happen in life, and a lot of times they want to share their experiences with you as well. Listen! Not only to those who have tokens but to everyone. I can not tell you how many "grays" have come back to me with tokens because they said I was super nice, and I didn't just avoid them because they didn't have tokens. So pretty much- Don't act like a gold digger. It turns off a lot of people. Although most are there to beat their meat, some are just lonely and enjoy some decent conversation.
This is pretty much all I have for now. I will be adding a Pt. 2, sometime soon. If you have any questions or comments feel free to share. :) I hope this helps.
