Auto Pause after a Private or Group Show

September 10, 2020 Ashley Maule

Auto-Pause is designed to give you time to prepare to be in front of your regular viewers again after your Private or Group show ends.

Go grab some food or something to drink, clean up, use the washroom, or change your outfit. You have 5 minutes to do whatever you need to do before going live on cam for your viewers again.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Start your Private or Group show as you normally would. At the end of the show, your stream will pause for a maximum of 5 minutes .

What YOU will see:

What your VIEWERS will see:

The stream is resumable at any time by clicking on the “Resume Stream” button.

If you do not resume the stream during the first 5 minutes, the stream ends automatically.

Private Show requests are not available while your show is paused.

Happy Camming!

BOOST: Det ultimata sättet att få din publik att växa

September 1, 2020 Ashley Maule

Kämpar du för att bygga en publik? Har du precis loggat in och vill starta din show?

Nu kan du BOOSTA ditt rum högre på förstasidan för bara
25 tokens!

CAM4 har satt DIG i förarsätet, och ger DIG möjligheten att öka din rankning på sidan så att du får fler tittare i din show!

Hur det funkar:

BOOST visas på din skärm när du startar en LIVE-sändning och är synlig för dig och dina tittare.

Denna funktion (vid köp) kommer att placera dig inom den högsta procentandelen av kameror som för närvarande finns på webbplatsen under hela tiden BOOST.

Klicka på knappen “BOOST” för att starta.

Det kostar 25 tokens att BOOST din cam i 5 minuter, eller tills du fått 10 nya tittare i ditt rum (max 30 min).

När du klickar på “fortsätt” kommer kostnaden för BOOST dras från ditt CAM4-konto och din cam kommer hamna högre på förstasidan.

Vad händer när BOOST startar?

Du kommer se ett meddelande i din chatt som låter dig veta vem som köpte boosten
Det finns en nedräknare i ditt fönster som kommer fyllas upp under tiden boosten går.
BOOST-knappen är nu inaktiv vilket innebär att du inte kan klicka på den. Texten har också ändrats till “Boost aktiv” och inkluderar en nedräkning.

EXPERTRÅD
När din boost är aktiv kommer fler att se din miniatyrbild. Det här är ditt ögonblick för att försöka locka fler tittare till din show!
Byt upp det med en lockande pose, en sexig striptease, våt t-shirtshow eller närbilder. Allt du kan göra för att locka uppmärksamheten hos den nya publiken du nu har tillgång till.

Vad händer när BOOSTEN räknas ned?

Knappen kommer visa “Boost” igen, så du kan klicka på den igen.
Du kommer att se ett meddelande i chattfönstret som säger att BOOST har avslutats och visar hur många tittare du fick under BOOSTen.
Din position ändras, men inte nödvändigtvis tillbaka till din ursprungliga position – eftersom din nya position kommer att återspegla ökningar i dina tittare på grund av boost.

Tittare kan också BOOSTA dig!!

Tittare letar alltid efter sätt att stödja sina favoriter. Varför inte uppmuntra dem att använda Boost-funktionen på dig? Med deras hjälp kan boosting verkligen göra skillnad i din prestanda och exponering på CAM4.

~Det var det hela!

Lycka till!

Common Questions In Chat (Video)

March 16, 2015 Ashley Maule Leave a comment

By pressing ‘Broadcast’ on the CAM4 homepage, you are creating your very own show where people can chat live with you. While there is always the element of surprise, I have made this guide to prepare you for the questions people will ask you in your chat room on CAM4.

Requests for private shows.
As a new broadcaster, it feels great when your viewers want to take you into a private chat and they are a lot of fun to do. Its a great way to get 1 on 1 time with a viewer and turn them into a long time fan.

These are the types of show requests you can expect:

CAM4 private show
-You make tokens per min
-You set your own rate per min under the ‘settings’ button in your broadcast window
-Default rate is 24 tokens per min/6 tokens per min for spy viewers
-You can choose to allow spy viewers
-Spy viewers can only see you, no audio and they can not chat.
-Cam2cam option where you can both see and hear your viewer while in private. (Spy’s cannot see or hear your cam2cam viewer)
-Viewers can tip you if they like
-You get site support
-You keep your place on the homepage.

CAM4 group show
-You sell tickets during your public show
-You set the price, length of show, and number of tickets you want to sell
-You set your timer for ticket sales (You have max 30min to sell tickets to your show)
-The show starts when all tickets are sold
-If the timer runs out before you sell all your tickets you still have the option to do the show. If you decide NOT to do the group show, ticket sale tokens are returned to the viewers
-Viewers can tip you during the show if they like
-You get site support
-You keep your place on the homepage.

Off-site private shows
-You lose your place on the homepage
-No site support
-Chance of fraud increases
-Could have your Skype account banned if you are caught doing a private show.

Option:

Instead of going to another site to do a private show, you can use the password protected room feature to sell blocks of time to this viewer. That way you can still offer viewers a deal, have the privacy of a true private room, and you don’t have to leave the protection of CAM4!

Dozens of private messages.
Viewers love sending performers private messages when they are in public chat. It’s exciting to have a private conversation with you while you have hundreds of viewers watching.

Option:

If this becomes overwhelming simply say to your viewers that you are not taking PM’s (private messages) right now. Politely smile and tell them to chat in your public room. “Guys! The more I type the less I can perform!” That usually works.

“Do you need me to be your moderator?”
These viewers may only be trying to help, but I recommend waiting till you get to know a viewer a bit before you make them your “Mod”. Moderators have the ability to Kick, Silence, Ignore, or Ban anyone in your room, so you want to pick someone with your best interests at heart.

Option:

After a few shows you will get to know your viewers a bit. You should be the one who approaches a viewer about being your “Mod”, not the other way around.

“Do you take PayPal bb?“
This one is a no-no. PayPal gives your full real name when you do a transaction and that is just not safe. You will be banned for advertising or accepting any forms of 3rd party payment.

Option:

Viewers have the option of using PayPal when buying tokens, the option is right on the payment menu.

Millions of requests bb….
Some of these will be in the form of a question and some will be just words over and over. Whatever they are just remember every person in your chat room counts towards your total viewers and that moves you up the homepage.

Options:

Put a list of things you will do in your broadcast window text box, this wont stop them from requesting but at least the ones that are serious will know how to get their wish granted.

Keep it light and politely say “Oh looks like someone wants to take me private.” or “You first!”. The more you keep things light and fun the better.

“What do you do in your shows/private shows?”
This is a common question you will get from viewers who want to get to know you better. It is best to have a general idea of where your boundaries are so you don’t get put on the spot.

Option:

On your CAM4 profile there is a section where you fill out your bio, this is the perfect place to talk about what your fans can expect during your shows. If you are not comfortable doing something state it here and stick to it.

“What outfits/costumes/toys do you have bb?”
Lots of your viewers get turned on at the sight of your toys and sexy things you have to wear.

Option:

The best way to show your collection is to take pictures of all your outfits/toys for your CAM4 photo gallery that viewers can browse through. You can even create fun names for your outfits/toys.

Tokens! Compliments! and More….
Your viewers will shower you with kind words and tips to show their appreciation. Make sure you show your appreciation back with a smile and a simple thank you.

~That’s all for this lesson!

Happy Camming!

Lighting 101 (Video)

March 2, 2015 Ashley Maule Leave a comment

Great lighting is camming 101 – having a poorly lit room can affect the quality of your cam feed and result in an unflattering image. Using accent lights, like red or blue floodlights, will make your cam more noticeable on the homepage, and increase the amount of viewers in your room.

These are the things to consider when lighting your room:

- What sources of light do I have already?
- Do I have enough lighting?
- Is it flattering?
- What “color” bulbs do I have in my light sources
- Are they all the same type and “color”?
- Where do I need to place my lights to get the best effect?

Chances are that you have lights around your home that will be very effective in creating a well-lit room. As much as possible, try NOT to use sunlight – it is inconsistent and may blow your cover if you are hiding your location.

These are some great lamps you can add to your collection if you don’t have what you need already:

Multi-head lamps are great for adjusting the light exactly where you need them.

This little guy is a great way to maximize your lamps you already have. It converts 1 light socket into 4! Use energy saving bulbs ONLY!

This disk light is very versatile with its clamp on the back you can use it in any space.

Bulbs

I recommend using a natural white or soft white bulb, they are the best choice when lighting for your cam and will flatter your skin tone.

These A-Line bulbs are great because they are energy saving, low heat, and frosted to give off softer light.

Please make sure all your bulbs are the same color!

Lighting set up

*In real life your lights will need to be turned towards your wall in order to get that soft flattering effect you are looking for. The light that reflects back off your walls will be perfect to light your room.

Your lights should never be visible in your cam window. The light will force your cam to make your image dark and no one will see you. It is best to have them behind and to the side of the cam, out of view.

~That’s all for this lesson!

Happy Camming!
