Not only was it filled with beggars and free loaders BUT the party chat seems to now be well on it's way to becoming a bargain basement nightmare now that the usual suspects are on there doing $1 for 10 Minutes and minimums of 60- 100 bucks but sometimes taking as low as $16....

But, they are still making the site money, so they don't really care.

I'm definitely not seeing the suckiness on my end either. And I'm not even using Party Chat.

God, I hope this traffic doesn't end... I hate getting excited about webcam and then having my hopes deflated :-\

Traffic hasn't gotten worse for me since party chat started. I'd say it's about the same, as is my income. Although I don't make a killing off it when I do gold shows, the guys appreciate a break off my regular price when I do offer it. I still won't give up my privates for just countdowns, that would piss off too many good customers.

traffic seems better than yesterday, i've been on for a bit and it's been going pretty well. i used to think the encoder didn't matter if you were streaming in hd anyway, but since i've switched to using the encoder i've noticed a boost in traffic & i actually made it to the top 3-4 rows on the front page this evening (which has NEVER happened to me before, although i'm usually in the first row on the bbw page). there's been lots of in and out, unpaying, not talking traffic, which sucks, but i'm also making more $$ than i was yesterday, so i'll take it :)

Yeah, I can't check myself because of region blocking but I'm pretty sure I've been placing on the first page lately. I don't know what else would explain the extreme increase in traffic I've been getting. I usually NEVER place on the first page, I'm always back on page 6 or something like that.

I got a new camera recently and I think it's really helped. My old webcam was busted and it seemed to freeze up a lot... I thought it was my CPU causing the freezing, but since using my new cam I don't get complaints anymore.

Awesome traffic for me Friday and today. Was worried about today being a holiday but did 50+ an hr and after making my goal figured I'd stay so I made extra. Haven't really had anyone asking for party chat anymore.

On another note, checked out that blog and $10 gold for fingering. Wtf? That's only 3.50 for u.

Just started today but so far had a great party chat and once my hair dries (did a shower show) I'm hopping back on and trying for some exclusives.

I couldn't get on cause I spent the day waiting for a repair man -.-; Didn't want him to show up while I was in the middle of a show. Hope tonight is good though :]

I'm almost at my daily goal and it's still so freakin early, but that's on AW. I will probably go on SM later though for a little bump. I really hope that the traffic is good.

Someone finally gave me a 5 star rating on my voyeur account. I bet they read my profile! Maybe for the first time EVER;p Traffic is decent to my voyeur room even though I have phone disabled (obviously) and exclusive chat. And I'm usually just on my wireless macbook air.

But I'm annoyed by the people giving me shitty ratings for not interacting when I say I won't. Streamate should remove those ratings because it does impact my traffic.

I still need to get on my other account. The guys are begging but my puppy is taking up so much of my time and I have other stuff going on also.

I <3 the affiliate program though. I have plans for expanding promoting their affiliate program. It converts well! And I'm just using twitter so far.

People seriously need to start reading the info in your profile Bella, I mean what the heel. It's not fair to rate you poorly just because they are horny illiterates.

I wrote a blog post about it. Just to vent really. But I'm sure they didn't read that either!

nice booty, bella :)
I had another good time, but it's really my first time on and guys might like me cuz i'm new. i'm not used to super long privates so i'm taking a break already because i'm tiiired.
Oh yeah, if anyone would like to answer my question it would be cool. don't mean to change the subject from traffic but I couldn't find it anywhere else.
Streamate blocks locations, but if someone in my blocked location went on to redtube or wherever we are also streamed, would they be able to see me? I'm pretty sure I know the answer and wont like it lol

It sucks right now.. I had to cancel my party chat with a room full of cheap ass guys..no one was pledging.

Arialandre
07-05-2011, 08:01 PM
Ugggg I've hit my goal elsewhere already so I may just take the night off then. Watch some funny dude comedies. This day has been so good I don't want to risk it with douchebaggery.

tonight has been so shitty... be on for an hour and had only one short private so i've made a grand total of $5... i need to take a 5 minute break and gather my head again *grr*

First 2 PC's were cancelled, 2nd two I hit goal. It's so random! Had a decent night though even though it started off bad. Night ya'll and hope you have much success.

My night was slowww the only real highlight was an Exclusive block session. I also had my first meanie on SM earlier :( I blocked him and moved on but still.

The fact that I can't use audio that much is KILLING me though. My roommates always seem to be home and awake when I want to get on cam, they know what I do but its awkward as heck moaning and talking dirty with my guy roommate playing video games right on the other side of the (very thin) wall. >.<

At first I thought traffic was horrible and that party chat was to blame. But there's other factor atleast in my case to why its slow. I was being a lazy camgirl so I didn't cam for like a month and then I change my account to daily pay. So when I decided to start camming again I had to deal with: summertime, new account, no regulars, and low rating.

This thread made me think that I wasn't going to make any money at all. But thank god I logged on and found out what the traffic was like for myself. I work 4hr days to make my goal of $100. The first day back I only worked an hr 1/2 and made crap. Then my 2nd day I keep my ass on for 4hrs and I hit my goal. Then the next couple of days I fell short of my goal by $20-$40.

Granted I didn't make my goal somedays but $60-$70 is better then $0. I will say that its slow but there is still money to be made. Slow money is better then no money. I may have to add a couple of more hours to hit my goal or change my hours since I do the 12am-4am shift but I'm not going to let the slowness stop or depress me.

I remember when I use to work 8hrs a day, had a lower rate, and did tons of toy shows an only made $100-$200 a week. That was with decent traffic and now the traffic has slowed a bit but I'm still able to make what I use to make in a week in a day. I'm happy that I'm working smarter and not hard now. So I'm not going to complain I'm just going to keep logging on and hustling it out.

Is there a catagory for spy/voyeour on Streamate ?
If not it might be worth asking them to make one - that way guys would know exactly what they are clicking on.
Because let's face it most don't read our profiles

Oh Yeah, I'll have to say traffic was a little slower than some days for the summertime. I made my daily goal but it took 4 hrs to make $109 and some change, but it was pretty steady traffic....just cheap traffic today. My regular big spender was there flirting, then a cheapass took me pvt for like 6 min and my big spender was gone. He'll be back but that really ticked me off though.

It's all good.

Arialandre
07-06-2011, 07:55 PM
Uggg, Im at $46 for the freaking day. If I can just pull $60 out of SM tonight I'm good to go. Ijust need $60!!! In fact I jusy need $54. $54!!!!!!!

@Amy Lee: Hell Yeah! That soooo pissed me off cuz, I have been offline for 4 days and when I saw my exclusive big spender... I knew it would be all good till this stupid fucker took me to group pvt. My fave must've logged off. He'll do that, then come back and spend 20-30min excl. with me each week. I soooo hope he comes back tomorrow. We'll see. Fingers crossed.

Make sure the guys rate you a 5 after every pvt that will get you higher on the page which will result in more traffic...The top girls ive noticed have over 200 ratings! Stay at it girl itll get better!

Really though, it doesn't do much to just put it on a blog or twitter.

What needs to be done in those cases if anyone is concerned about it is to screenshot it and forward it to streamate support. They give a few chances sometimes but eventually they ban the host from the site if it is a repeated offense.

All the screenshots that Lorraine captured for her Streamate Violators blog have been reported directly to to Liz at Streamate (not to the support e-mail address). Don't assume that because something is posted on a blog or twitter that it has not been appropriately addressed.

Hi Arialandre - Make sure your computer is well ventilated underneath. If you are using a laptop, try not to let it sit flat on your bed/blanket. If you're using the flash media encoder it uses alot of your computers resources and therefore causes the processor to get very hot. Your computer shuts down as a certain temperature as as safety measure. I had the same issue with my laptop so I converted to a desktop which works alot better for the purpose of streaming.

Was off and on for me yesterday. Started at 10am and was on and off all day till 3am (did not cam constantly for that amount of time. I think I would go crazy. Lol.) The first 2 hrs I did like $30/hr. Then did a few $10/hr, then went back up to about $40/hr. Worked out though. My kids were at my parents house so I cammed all day and made $250 so I could take Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off.

I made sure I had music on, and didnt lay there looking dead :) Move around, talk to em. I work MFC and danced for ages so I'm used to entertaining. Suprised to see girls not even looking at the screen.

I worked 3 hours today. Ended up with $166 and that included 4 party chats, but I"ve made that just off privates too even before I had party chat. ..I didn't have too many exclusives today and there were plenty of opportunities for the guys to take me private.

I don't fucking understand this shit. I hate streamate. I have never made more than like $12 an hour there. I was on for over 2 hours yesterday and made $21! I have an hd cam and use sound and smile and say hi to everyone. My profile is nice. I have good pics up. Why the fuck does streamate not like me? I do better on indy sites. grrr.

do you stream with the encoder, or at least with your settings set to 640x480HD? otherwise your cam probably looks like crap to customers. have your customers confirmed that your sound works? what are you charging? do you offer toys, etc.? what hours do you work? (it's completely dead for me in the middle of the night, i've made $6 in 3 hrs before working super super late/early.)

i mean, i have had plenty of $12/hr days on streamate - i don't make nearly as much as some other sw girls - but still, that shouldn't be the norm. just checking to see if there might be a technical reason why it isn't working for you. i hope it picks up for you!

SM seems to only be getting worse for me. I'm kinda screwed if it doesn't pick up. I went from making $50 an hr to $10 an hr just overnight and this has been consistent for the past two weeks. Not sure when it happened but I may blame the party chat since it was around that time. I regularly have 0-1 people in free chat at a time now and the worse part is I lost weight, got toned and spent $200 on new outfits because before I only had 2 outfits I wore every day. I am getting pretty frustrated with this. Plus I've only been getting jerks in my pvt chats who would stay for 31 seconds and rate me low. My rating is lower than its ever been. I think this may be why I'm not doing well anymore, I'm probably not on the main page anymore and I no longer see my regulars anymore. That's so weird. =(

*sigh*:'(
hugs for u darling!:-*

SM is starting to suck big time..i think i just need to get my ass in gear and take it serious-serious, and maybe change up my look (lose weight, and do my hair, makeup diff etc)

i was doing excellent for it only being my 2nd week a couple of weeks ago
..but then i had to move, unpack boxes and ive become sooo busy these past days ive gotten lazier to get on to cam now!:-\

this party chat is driving me bonkers..i still cant get it bc my score is still at around 4.3
and by the time i DO get it there will be something else better and i still wont have traffic!
i lose-game over!
