If someone wants to chat about something which isn't really sexual but is obviously their fetish like teeth, belly button etc.
Do you just chat to them in free chat but ask for a price in gold to show it or would you ask them to go to Privates to discuss it?.
I strongly encourage you to set a boundary and maybe answer 1 or 2 questions, but no more in free chat. They can send you gold for every question they ask or they can get an exclusive show. Otherwise, your room is going to get choked up with freeloaders, and no one cool will hang. Downward spiral.
Whether there is nudity or not, fetish shows belong behind a paywall. There is no way in Hell I would entertain conversations where members are jerking off for free. I also don't allow fetish in private, because it's a group, and imo it should be generic vanilla only, or something that appeals to the majority of any given MODEL'S viewers. Not personalized niche fetish shit. So it appeals to everyone; otherwise you just get a bunch of cheap ass fetish guys trying to cheap out, and run you into burnout. If you let them, be in no doubt, they will! It might be a private site, but there are still a ton of non spending ooportunists running around, room hopping, trying to work models. Especially new models.
Also, don't let inexperience make you feel like you can't charge for fetish. They can train you and communicate and explain to you their fetish/ fetish layers, and be patient. Also, don't be scared of the block button when you get guys trying to use you for free. They clog up the room, annoy the for-real spenders, and piss everyone on the site off!
It's almost contagious. You get a flood of guys trying to exploit and spend no money, going room to room trying to work the models & talk shit. Next thing you know, everyone's in a bad mood and snappy. And then the real paying members get put off too. Seriously, kick them tf out of there and take notes on who's doing what and how many times they're in and out of your room not spending. After 5 w me, they are blocked, unless it's 5 long camp outs; then they get fewer chances. 5 in and outs, no spending = gone. A lot of us use 5 as a marker for that. It'll be fewer if they are rude or have a turn-off screen name. Or if they try to gas light me or be super negative/ immature.
I do well on this site, and here's a screenshot of my current block list. Don't let anyone intimidate you/ manipulate you. YOUR ROOM, not theirs.
I have been a part time model for SM 13 years (do keep that in mind when you look at my block list too, it didn't get that big in 2 weeks).
