This is a based on my perception as a complete beginner webcam model. I'll go by Pros and Cons.
Pros :
1. The customer support is incredible and 100% available anytime 24/7. This, I tell you, is quite phenomenal.
2. With a few hours of work, it's easy to jump from 30% to 40%.
3. They offer FirstChoicePay which works like a charm. 1% fee only if you wish to get your payment quickly after the end of a period. A period lasts 15 days. By the end of it, wait maximum 3 days and "boom", make it rain in your pay account!
4. Based on Alexa Ranking site, it tells us that a good % of members are "retired", so older customers, more serious and with the intention of spending on models.
5. My regulars are great and all over the world
6. No nudity in Free Chat.
Cons
1. Rules are tight. Be careful as a new webcam model, make sure to read the rules over and over!
2. Need professionnal pictures and videos. I love the idea of creating quality material, BUT, as an independant model, it might be expensive to start up on Jasmin, since, having a video in your free content is mandatory IF you want to be part of the Award contest! And you want to be part of it to gain more traffic. Yes, I'm an independant webcam model.
3. I don't know if this is related to Jasmin, but many customers have technical problems with the c2c in private. Which makes me lose them in the end. I tell the members to approach the customer support, but if they don't, there's nothing much I can do.
4. Many Guests (or Freeloaders) seems to be underage and they troll the Free Chat quite intensively. That's the worst part of Camming on Jasmin so far, for me at least. Nothing can be done and I discourage the intervention of Jasmin, because you'll start a real war between you and the Guests! Good luck with that. However, I hear that you could be able to "Mute" them, so that might be the best solution. HOWEVER : some of the guests are actual members who don't want to log on until they get excited enough. Strategy? Yes. As Guests, they are not asked to go in private by the models since they obviously cannot do so, therefore, they don't get annoy by models sending pop-up invitations saying "want me to warm you up" or other techniques. They just sit there and enjoy the show.
5. Traffic is unstable.
6. The website is not up to date. There's no more Jasmin TV Channel, so don't bother using Jasmin Logo in your video UNLESS you wish to participate in the Video contest. Again, as an Indepedant model, good luck with that. I'm telling you dear models, because I made the mistake of using the Logo and by doing so, I have burned my video for life. I cannot use it on any other webcam sites
. That's extremely frustrating.
So, that's it for now! Basically, I intend to keep working on Jasmin but I'm contemplating other sites as well to make ends meet.
Congratulation
LiveJasmin for being the top ranked webcam site on Alexa Ranking (56th position last time I checked) and thank you for providing an amazing Customer support to us models (and probably to members too).
