Why Webcam Girls Must Blog

In spite of several forum postings and articles on this subject, there still seems to be some confusion as to the purpose of blogging and how it directly benefits the blogging webcam girl.  So, I will try to keep this as simple as possible.

Blogging is how guys find YOU on Google, Yahoo and MSN.  Let me make that crystal clear, they don't find Girl Time, they find YOU.  They find your blog home page and in the process learn more about you and come visit you in your chat room.

When I promote Girl Time, I have to be considerate of all the different looks and personalities on our site.  Because of this, I can't be very specific.  For example, if I was to promote that we featured the hottest blondes, what good would these new guys be to the brunettes?  Or, if I advertised that all our girls were under 25, how would that benefit the girls over 25?  So you see, I have to keep things very general, saying things like beautiful single girls, nude webcam girls, etc.

To help guys that are into your look specifically, blogging is the only answer.  So if you want a guy that appreciates a girl who can suck her own toes, then blog about that.  If you want a guy that is into a girl who dresses up like wonder woman, then blog about that.  Just be honest about yourself.  Oh, and resist the temptation to blog about your pet cat, unless you actually think cat lovers would buy a show.

Start by defining what you are and what kind of guy would be interested in you, then blog like a crazy woman about yourself.  Within a month, the kind of guys that are into you specifically will begin to discover you.

Oh, and be sure to put some information about how they can find you in the "News" section of your blog. If you hadn't noticed, there is no link to your chat room from inside your blog. It might be a good idea to let guys know that can meet you in person.

Now with all that said, there is no point in blogging about yourself using words that nobody ever searches for.  For example, you might use the phrase Phat Hooptie to describe yourself, but what's the likelihood that someone who would take you private will be searching for that on Google?  The best policy is to use words that are in the dictionary.

Good luck and feel free to ask me questions.

text to speech recognition using windows live writer

I wanted to use the Microsoft's LAN speech to text recognition software to write a law because it seemed quite understand exactly what I'm saying that that's probably because I haven't finished training. Like for instance it's like the word law and I really said login no I didn't say what Don Imus said log a day early needle on the whole .

right now I'm gonna talk slowly sell Microsoft speech to text recognition and understanding. I think this program has a lot of potential but it definitely needs training . The experiment

I don't know why it just typed experiment by there is a feature that will allow me to train it by reading two and sell hopefully and then by the way what that where did Don Imus come from ? I didn't say Don Imus ? A well of train the software one of these days .

I think I'll post this block as it is just to show hopefully the progression of the training Microsoft's speech to text recognition within the windows live writer environment .

It's sort of like teaching somebody who doesn't speak English how to communicate in English speaking world .

Use Windows Live Writer On Girl Time

We now have Widows Live Writer support!

This means you can write blog posts without even opening a web browser or visiting Girl Time!

I was going to use this girl as a cover girl... I still may in the spring! And actually, this text and picture are set in a table. By using Live Writers split post feature I can include this picture in the excerpt on the main adult blogs page.

Inserting pictures or maps into blogs is easy!

Yep, this is where I live.

You can even insert satellite photos and zoom right into your own back yard.

Using Live Writer, you can change font colors and font types too!  You can even use tables and image maps and do all sorts of other things, its very cool.

There's even an "as you type" spell checker, something I definitely need...

You can get Live Writer here.

When you install the software you will be presented with a number of choices.  I won't go into explicit details because its kind of self-explanatory, however there are a few key choices that will make your life simpler.  Select the following answers when you come to them:

1. Welcome => I already have a weblog set up.
2. Choose Weblog Type => Another weblog service
3. Weblog Homepage and Login => http://www.girltime.com/blogs/<your-user-name>.  For example mine is http://www.girltime.com/blogs/girltime/ and Elona's would be http://www.girltime.com/blogs/elona/.  You get the idea.  You username and password are whatever you use to log into the community.

The only other thing you should know is not to bother using the "Insert Tags" feature in the right hand column.  Instead if you look at the bottom of the interface, next to the "set publish date" you will see a long non-descriptive field with a drop down list arrow.  Click the drop-d0wn list arrow and a selector will open showing you some categories... these are your tags! Please don't put anything in the keywords field or change the slug, it will make your posts harder to find when searching.

Enjoy using this, and feel free to ask questions or share findings in the forums for the benefit of all!

No more posting hours or prices

From now on, I will delete any posts dedicated to prices or hours.  It's too hard for us to set our alarms to your schedule, let alone calculate the time zone difference!  And, when you post prices you are also sending an underlying subliminal message that might be saying something else.  Above all, it spams up the home page.

I realize that everyone who did this had the best of intentions, so no harm – no foul.  If you want to send private messages to your friends about your hours, that is preferred and much appreciated.

First Creative Bikini Contest For 2008

For those of you who were here on Tuesday, the first creative bikini contest was a lot of fun.  Both Elona and Celeste participated in a contest to make the most creative bikini possible using anything they had on hand.  The loser had to do a private show for the winner.  I got to be the judge, hehe.  So here's some highlights.

The girls reveal their bikinis for the first time.  Elona used heart shapes and feathers and Celetse used lipstick and colorful stickers!

They both used hearts for bottoms.

Their tops barely covered anything.  In the end the backwards GT on Celeste make her the winner!

So she got to enjoy a private show with Elona... well sorta ( I was there too )

For those of you who hit Girl Time in the mornings, I plan on many more of these.

Cam Girl Income

Members should always sign-in to Girl Time!

It seems that many of the girls on Girl Time are incorrectly interpreting the "Who Is Online" information as an indication of the best times to get on their webcam and hang out with us.  As members, we have the luxury of being able to install the notifier software to monitor the webcam girls that are currently online, even if it doesn't show girls on the broadband side, but there is no special software to tell the girls when we are around.

For everyone's benefit, lets clarify how the "Who Is Online" works.

• Member's avatars show only on the list while they are signed-in to the home page, blogs, pictures and forum pages of the COMMUNITY.  The free chat room pages are NOT part of the community.  After 15 minutes in a free chat room, the member's avatar will disappear, even though the member is still on Girl Time.
• If a member is not signed-in to the community, their avatar will not show. Instead they will appear as a guest.
• The number of guests online is a total of all people not signed-in to the home page, blogs, pictures or forum pages of the community only.
• People on the free chat room pages, or chatting with girls will not show as members or guests online.
• Many links to Girl Time by-pass the home page and go directly to the free chat room pages.  This mean that there are guests here that don't get added to the number of guest online.
• Whenever I make administrative changes to the membership, the online counters reset to zero, even though there way be dozens of people online.
• There are ALWAYS more guests and members online than those showing on the list.

To summarize, the "Who Is Online" is more of a social toy than an accurate list of people on Girl Time. But, as imperfect as the "who is online" is, it still has its value.  For those of you that have community memberships, you know how hard it was to get.  We are extremely picky about who we let participate on the community to say the least.  As a result, the "Who Is Online" only shows the best-of-the-best at Girl Time.

All this said, members should always sign-in to Girl Time!  There's no stopping people from mis-interpreting the data, so to enourage all the girls that didn't read this to get on cam, take a moment to sign-in whenever you are around.

Thanks

Dating Dancers - Another Persepctive

Dating Dancers – Another Perspective

I have been married to the same woman for 23 years.  For nine of those years, she worked as a topless and nude dancer in Jacksonville, San Diego, Anchorage, and Las Vegas.  We have even worked together in the same club when she worked in the club I owned.  I have worked with thousands of dancers and models and have had close relations with more than a hundred.  I feel that I am more than qualified to jump into this topic from several perspectives.

Dancers and all adult industry people for that matter are just like everyone else.  There isn’t some type of personality quirk that makes a dancer uniquely adapted for her job.  Strip Clubs are just like Taco Bell, they both have disgusting food and girls that get hit on!  In fact, my wife got flirted with more at the Taco Bell drive through than she ever did in the strip clubs.

It is very narrow-minded to berate a girl in a strip club just because she’s "working" for tips.  What the hell is the waitress in the restaurant doing?  The waitress comes to your table, sometimes sits down next to you, takes your orders, lets you flirt with her, and expects a tip for her hospitality.  A stripper in a club does the same routine, and even sometimes serves the drinks too.  But because the stripper doesn’t have to keep running back to the kitchen for food, she gets extra time to sit and get to know you.

If a waitress wants to date a customer, it’s no big deal, so why is it so hard to believe that the stripper does the same thing?  Strippers date and marry customers, period, just like girls at any other job.  Most strippers enjoy talking and getting to know the guys, it’s definitely not always about money, but the girl needs to work too.  She can’t pay her bills while she’s sitting with someone who isn’t tipping her, so she’s got to keep moving and in most cases, this is required by the club owners to provide for good service.

When a stripper breaks up with her boyfriend, or he breaks up with her, its easy to blame the club or the industry, but he’s bullshitting himself.  Trying to say that he was lied to by a "professional stripper" who makes her living creating a fantasy world makes me wonder how the fuck he wipes his own ass!  Unless you happened to fall out of the little yellow bus on the way to the Special Olympics, you know if you’re in a genuine relationship or not.

Now, having said all that… There are evil fucking gold-diggers out there, both in and out of the clubs.  They spin tales and create fake emotional or even sexual bonds to get at a man’s money.  In the clubs, these girls study the mannerisms of the genuine girls and then mimic their actions with their own sick twist.  They are part of a sub-culture that uses the sexually charged strip club environment to peddle their wares.  These girls see their club life as being separate from their life outside its doors.  Fortunately, most high-end clubs fire these girls as fast as possible to prevent them from pissing off the regular customers.

Okay now that you know my position, it’s time to directly address Rafa’s and Katwoman’s recent blog articles.

Rafa said several things I find interesting:

‘The conversations I had with the dancer I was introduced to went well beyond the normal chit-chat’
‘I loved hearing the dirt on which girls had drama going on with other girls’
‘she was no longer "Fakename, the dancer" in my mind, she was "Real Woman, the woman"’
‘there were definite sparks of chemistry there’

I would say that Rafa had a genuine girl there.  The fact that he got tired of her because she stood him up is beside the point and the fact that she was a stripper had nothing to do with it.  She may have just sucked at relationships.  But, you can bet the gold-digger girls will try to justify their own existence by saying "see told ya so", but don’t you believe it.  Strippers are allowed to be irresponsible like everyone else and suffer being passed on for it.

Rafa asked if it is appropriate to give a dancer a rose in strip club, and if so under what circumstances in what capacity.

My suggestion is to pretend that you are giving a rose to a waitress at Outback Steak House.  You can only approach her in the capacity of either boyfriend or restaurant patron.  If you want to be a patron, then go in, sit down, give her the rose and let her happily serve you like every other customer as her job requires.  If you choose to take the boyfriend route, go up to the bar, wait until she gets a break in the chaos, then give her the rose and expect her to have to go back to work at some point. In a strip club, you have to do the same thing, either come in and sit at a table and let her do her job for you, or go by the bar and wait for her to have a break in the action. Either way, you are a thoughtful guy for doing it.

Katwoman had many more interesting things to say in her first post on the subject, but since she replaced it with a "lite" version, I’ll work with it but I still have that other post in mind. 

I completely understand where Katwoman is coming from with her post.  While I agree with the experiences she is conveying in her post, I also believe that they are from her own experiences and not indicative of the industry as a whole.  Through her explanations of how difficult a relationship can be, I picked up on the following points:

‘we do care for many of them above and beyond "what is necessary to do our jobs"’
‘I have enough affection and caring to share’
‘Many dancers (at least in my club) will never date a guy that gets private dances (something I never understood)’

Katwoman’s post is almost entirely about the downside of dating a stripper, while at the same time, she’s married to a former customer, thus proving that guys can indeed have long term relationships with strippers.  In Katwoman’s own words, she’s a caring person who has enough to share and goes beyond what is necessary to do her job.  I believe that this is her true defining quality, and why I enjoy having her around.

The only problem I really see is that according to her comments on Rafa’s post, her article was going to address his question.  I see from Rafa’s reply to her post that he does not feel that his question was answered and instead his judgment was called into question.

So, in conclusion, Rafa, do the rose man!  Give it to her as a member, buy a dance so she can talk to you without the club owners thinking you are another annoying boyfriend hangaround and pursue a relationship with her like any other girl.

Katwoman, if your hubby wanted to bring you a rose in the club back when you were dating, how would you have liked to see him go about doing it?

It's a girl!

An Opportunity

Some of you already know a little about my Internet history as the developer of the original Ultravid Software and later co-owner of Firecracker Video.  Others may know me as the owner of Netfoxes and Girl Time.  And, a few of you have been around long enough to remember Secret Lovers, Pleasure Girls and to have seen us on HBO with Cyber Brothels.  I have developed over 50 adult domains to varying degrees of success, some more ambitious than others.  But there’s more to me than naked girls.

Something only a few of you know is that I have also been successful at developing and selling non-adult domains.  Back in April, I closed a project that had taken a little over a year.  Since then I have been slowly developing a couple other domains while I decide what to toss all my time into.  Well I’ve made my decision and I’m ready to get moving.

I am known for hiring from within and in the past I have limited opportunities only to the girls I work with.  Unfortunately, there just aren’t as many girls around as there used to be, so I’ve decided to research the possibility of seeing what others might have to offer.  So here’s the deal.

First to be considered, you should be interested in some of the following:

On the Dark Side

1. Knowledge or interest in Hacking, even if you can’t do it anymore.
2. Old school hackers that can appreciate the history of illicit computer/electronic usage and know the significance of the terms like Phreaking, 2600 or Blue Box.
3. Interest in hacking game platforms like PSP, Xbox, PS3, Wii, etc.
4. Program Cracks
5. Game Cheats
6. Cell phone hacks

On the Light Side

1. Interest in computers, always has to have the top system.
2. Future computer tech
3. Computer news and reviews
4. A knowledge of SEO is a plus.

Then, you should be able to do the following:

1. Find about 15 to 20 hours per week of available time
2. Write articles on one or more of the topics above
3. Utilize specific words into all your articles to “weight” them towards a particular search phrase.
4. Get active in the online community on your particular topics.

Next, the starting pay sucks. But the formula is simple:

Every 16 hours you work will earn you 1% of the monthly net from advertising. The idea being that a full-timer gets a 10% share.  Obviously the less you put in the less you take, but the formula remains the same.

Since you are joining from ground zero, the starting income from advertising is zero, and so are your earnings.  The site is expected to take six to seven months to begin to producing significant advertising revenues, but could take longer depending on the speed with which we work.  After the first 18 months, i expect the advertising revenues to be around $80,000 per month, so a 40 hour time investment is expected to produce between $1000 to $2000 of income per week.  I expect to sell the domain in about 36 to 42 months, but that will also depend on the offer.

Finally, when I finally do sell the domain, I will give a bonus of $100,000 to the top five contributors of their free time.

Please do not make comments on Girl Time about this offer, instead if you are interested, send me an email to admin@girltime.com or send me a private message.  I expect to have this formed up and ready to go the first week of December.

PS.  No, I'm not quitting Girl Time, I have plenty of help here.

Shame on you, you mother fucking scumbag!

Listen up ( you know who you are and whether or not the shoe fits )

Girl Time is way too expensive of a hobby for me just to have some scumbag prey on our new girls to do yahoo/paypal privates or to have new girls show up with the intention of performing a little snatch and grab on the best members on the Internet.  Girl Time does not exist as your personal fish barrel.

Go check on the price for our new community server - It's $2000!
How much do you think I pay for server hosting - Try $9,600 per year!
How about adult merchant fees - Yeah I pay that too, $5,000 per year!
All that's before I invest in advertising, search engine optimization and 75% payouts.

After all is said and done, I get about 11 cents on the dollar, which is why I refer to this as a hobby and not a job.

I am asking everyone to pitch in and report (privately) any member or girl using Girl Time as a way to meet up for privates on other platforms or sites as you encounter them.

Thanks

Nothing Wrong With Being Married

When it comes to Girl Time, you either “get it” or you don’t.  This goes for the girls as well as the guys. Girl Time isn’t a mega cam site filled with sloots from all around the world; it’s a private club, a hang out, the corner bar, however you want to visualize it.  I’ve had many years to point Girl Time in any direction I’ve wanted, and I’m content with it exactly where it is.  My house only holds so many people, and just like at Studio 54 in the ‘80s, I get to pick who joins the party.  So, as a cam girl, if you don’t get it, no problem, just go away.  But, whatever you do, don’t try to bullshit people just to fit in.

If you are a wig wearing, money-grubbing, fake-story-telling cam girl with a wannabe pimp for a husband, then say it!  Create a cam girl profile called “FakeAsFuckWhore” or something honest and everyone will respect you for it.  In fact, honesty is really what Girl Time is all about.  There are a million girls out there for the guys who love bullshit artists; lets keep Girl Time closer to reality. And while I’m on the subject, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being married.

There are a lot of married cam girls out there.  But if you are married, don’t pretend to be something you’re not.  If you are happily married, and have no intention of ever getting together in real life, don’t make up lies that you are this single chick, humping the neighbors, looking for love under every rock.  This doesn’t mean that every married girl from now on must announce it at the door; just don’t lead people on like they have a chance with you when they really don’t.  Your secrets are safe here, as long as you don’t use lies deceive or make money tuggin on heartstrings.

An Open Letter To God's Gift To All Men

Dear God's gift to all men,

Thank you for taking the time to give some thought about your future with Girl Time.  I understand that you don’t want to be treated like all the other dumb cam girls on Girl Time.  I’m sorry that my lack of experience in this industry led me to give you vague and even flaky advice like "get a better cam" and "lose the third world backdrop".  Gosh, I knew should have done more to learn my craft over the past 20 years in the adult industry.  You can only imagine my embarrassment at being outclassed by an expert with a whole month of experience.

I guess I didn’t realize the huge threat that you were keeping up your sleeve of starting your own site to compete against Girl Time.  I had no idea that you had "plenty of web programmers in your corner" and have "built web businesses before".  Who knew that you were a successful business owner with marketing experience?  Thank you for pointing all that out.  And yes, as long as you're asking me, I would much rather you direct traffic to us lowly retards at Girl Time than compete against us.  Considering your expertise and everything.  How in the world have I survived without you until now?  Oh yeah, you were like 3 years old when I started!

(Reader note: Right now I have the talking head voice of David Byrne saying "This is not my beautiful house… this is not my beautiful wife… and I ask myself "How do I work this?"")

You said that you didn’t think it was fair that you had to work like everyone else to make money considering that my (lack of) marketing expertise didn’t justify it.  You said that I get the benefit of your pretty face and body on Girl Time adding that by getting you to stay on longer, 'I am tricking new members into thinking that you represent the normal quality of girls on the site' (when clearly you are much prettier).  To quote you directly, "Let’s be honest, most pretty faces doing this work don’t have a brain in their heads" which is "what I bring to the table".

Looking over your ultimatum, which you so aptly titled, "If you want me to work on Girl Time this is what I propose." You issued the following conditions:

1. You will tell everyone when you will be on by posting it on the site. (you are the first person in history to think of that one)
2. You will do additional marketing for yourself from your "many online outlets" as long as "it’s worth it". (and what marketing expert really knows anyhow)
3. You want to be paid 65% for working your 12 – 16 hours (out of the 168 available) per week. (basically you want to work somewhere around 7% to 9% of the time.

You closed your letter by saying "let me know if we are working together or going our separate ways." You reminded me that, if I don’t do your bidding, men "will eventually start looking for me through Google, etc" they will find you and (presumably) Girl Time will suffer.

Well, God's gift to all men, I am at a loss for words. I guess I’ll have to rely on our members to help me think of something to say.

So I guess we're going our separate ways.  Or more exactly, I'll stand in the exact same spot I have for the last two decades and you can turn your snot-nosed, self-centerd, weave-wearing, money-grubbin, shit-talking ass around and go away twice as far on your own.  Along the way, take off the fake hair and look at yourself in a mirror.  You may discover the real reason you don't make money.

Oh yeah, I banned you and erased you. You no longer exist. Good Riddance
