I have it now too
I just tried one partychat at the end of my shift. I was way way way too nervous to give a good show lol so probably didn't do myself any favours!
I would also like to say that the other new features that SM have added (like members ranking) are totally awesome!
Anyway, the party chat
I set up a show for $100 with $7 buy in (I know the maths doesn't work but I couldn't care as long as it went over the amount). I know that goal was really low but I was just so scared it wouldn't work for my first one. Show duration 5 mins. Set goal timer to 10 mins.
I reached my goal in just a few mins - didn't have to wait anywhere near ten and there were 21 buy ins plus some guys gave a few extra dollars each.
I'm definitely setting my goal higher next time! Think I gave the guys *too* good a deal so will charge more and bigger goal in future as that goal was really no effort at all.
I also think that I'm only going to do one per day - at the end of my regular shift as most of my traffic on SM is from regulars who want to be able to interact with me.
just my 0.02
ETA:
Should prob also say that I did not do any of this 'teasing' stuff that I've seen other girls doing. I sat in my normal outfit and just let the guys tell each other to buy in. I did move about a bit but only normal stuff like moving to type or sitting up!
Also, I was on the top row at the time so quite a bit of 'through traffic'.

Well done Becky! My mistake was giving them too much time to chip in , they lose interest otherwise. Hey do that 2x an hour and that is 100 bucks in your pocket! Still gives you time to get a few privates in between.

Btw, does anyone know what the little 'post it' note means next to the members name? With the check mark? Does that mean he reserved? I kept thinking it was a pm or something.

I think the post it means that you have taken a note for that member. i make it a habit of taking notes on guys when they tell me where they are from,age,names likes,dislikes,etc and so i believe when they come into ur room the post it will appear beside their screen name if we have posted notes into their profiles.

Members ranking - i haven't seen anything like this - do you have to request it or does it only come with the party chat? What other features have they added?
I feel like a leper on SM now - can't get the party chat, can't run the encoder, haven't got any of these new features and most importantly not making any money!
What ISP are you with Becky? I'm with TalkTalk and the upload speed is so slow it's killing me. Seriously thinking about buying myself out of the contract and going with someone else but will cost me a fortune as i've got about 16 months left on the contract. Really wish i'd considered upload speed when i went with TalkTalk.
P.S. - glad it went well for you Becky. At least one of us UK girls has managed to get the party chat.

It's so hit or miss. I've seen people in the top slot not make it the first time, then they restart the timer, lower the goal, and get it within 5 min....

I am new to SM and I contacted them about the PartyC .. they asked me to go online live with the HD and all and I did and they said my HD was not 640x 480..
It is!
and both my HD and my Logitech were set in 640x 480.

HOLY F*CK!! I FINALLY GOT ONE! It can be done ladies..honestly, if I can do it it can be done..and that was my 5th attempt since last night (first 4 attempts had to cancel all the shows)
first attempt today, nothing..but the guys hung out...2nd try $1/min for them...it worked...had one of good tippers tip the rest during the last minute so I could do the show. I banked about $91 off 25 min (15 min countdown).... well ok, add another 15 min for the lost attempt, so technically 91 in about 40 min of time...still good! Oh thank you porn gods...
So it does work..just be patient...gotta wait for the good guys.
PS...I was fully dressed too! FULLY in free...Didn't pull out a tit once..just flashed my pantied rear.

I did at least 5 party chat chat shows. I tried to start with 15 dollar buy in and a 150 goal. Way too much for 2 AM in the morning, pretty much the dead time at SM.
Then I accepted that I had to start low. I did a buy in of 5 GOLD for a 5 min show. The first show I put the goal at 50. After all, a group show with one guy would only come up to $20. I don't care how many are watching, I care how much I make for performing for 5 mins.
I got that goal and when the guys are watching the show, many kept sending more 5 GOLD. I heard a lot of that GOLD sound the party chat makes when someone sends GOLD, while I was already doing the show.
After that, I kept the 5 dollar buy in but made the goal $80 (28 dollars in my pocket for a 5 min show). I reached that goal only a couple of times, but even when there was still 20 or even 30 left to the goal and the time was up, I started the show anyway, and the GOLD wouild keep coming while I was doing the show.
None of the 5 min shows ended up going for less than $80, they all went for more, even the ones in which the goal was not reached before the timer was up because of the tipping during the show, and I was not asking for it, I was just doing the show.
I reached my daily in just over 3 and half hours, but will go back later for more. I am not greedy, $28 or more for each five minute show is good enough for my pocket.

I was submitted for review and Vanessa said that I had all he criteria and would have party chat very soon. Yesterday I emailed again bc nothing was showing up on my profile and she told me that I had been denied bc I need at least 4.5 stars. But I DO have 4.5 stars! Total bullshit.

well i was contacted on HERE and now have it...
so far it sucks though =/ cheap guys make it shitty! hopefully it gets better.
I saw you contact @awmodel on twitter saying something about how it isn't fair or that all girls should have party chat or something and she gave you an email address for you to request it. Unless it's another girl who looks just like you and has the same name.../:O

this may be a threadjack... but i still can't believe how much sm rapes you of your money. i would totally cam if i made like 70% of my earnings but i'd still be pissed off... but barely 1/3?? making less than half of all the hard work YOU put in, all the weird people online that YOU deal with?? yikes.

Then I accepted that I had to start low. I did a buy in of 5 GOLD for a 5 min show. The first show I put the goal at 50. .
Good job SSxxx. I started too high too my first 3 times.
Yup, I think most guys are more willing to drop $1/min for a show.. Unless you are doing something really really special or you are a top gal, setting your goal at $200 + may not be a good thing.
Always remember that once you start, other guys will more than likely join! That's what really helped me out. So for a 10 min show I set with a goal of 150, I made 300 gold on it with all the late joiners.
I'm finding out being successful at this is setting the right price, timing, and luck. I got lucky because an old reg of mine from another site happened to be there telling the other cheapies to pitch in and one guy pitched in about 90 GOLD total. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have made it.
I'm pooped now. This has been my highest week of earnings since I started on SM..most of it off privates, but I'd like to see party chat be the icing on the cake each week.
I will also say that after the party chat, I had b2b privates. If anything, use it for EXPOSURE, even if you just set the counter for 10 min for a 5 min show....
Also, I'd like to see this put a dent in MFC's traffic, especially for the guys that don't think their tips should benefit the freeloaders.
SSxxx
06-24-2011, 09:07 AM
Yeah, I got quite a few privates after each party chat too.
I don't have any complaints so far.
I guess some of the GOLD I saw coming after each show had started was late joiners too. Whatever it was, the money sound was going off during the show. Just start the show if you get more than you would get if you were doing the show for one guy and you should get more once the show starts.

This is so true, apparently. I've watched Diamond Doll set 30 minutes to make a certain goal, and not make it. Twice. And she's a pornstar!!! But, I just watched have a 300 dollar goal for a 10 minute show and set the timer to 10 munites, and she made it with 3 minutes to spare :O
Off Topic, but one idiot fake tipped her 10 million dollars in gold.... hahahaha

I wish I had party chat bc at least it's an option! But I apparently have to raise my rating to 5 stars instead of 4.5 /:O

06-24-2011, 12:32 PM
I m sooooooo pissed!!!!
I e mailed Vanessa so i could have party chat and she said my rating was 4.36 stars and it has to be 4.5 minimum.....
She said with 4.5 i would be fine but well thanks to all those cheap asses and freeloaders who gave me a 1 or 2 stars rating now i cannot do that til my rating gets higher.....
Karma is a bitch and I hope those guys get their balls kicked or something in return.....
I also told her that SM should put a minimum ammount of mins that the guy have to take u pvt in order to rate you...
I m sure they won t do anything about cause all they care if to make $$ like most cam sites....
Anyways............ I m on AW and doing pretty well , I m happy, we ll see how it goes :)

I've worked sites that pay 50 to 80%. I've tried a ton of em. Problem is, seems like the more percent they pay the fewer paying viewers they have. At least Streamate does have guys who spend. I can be online all day on other sites and maybe get one show. 80% of zero is still zero. I almost never have even 30 mins on SM without a show.
It does kill me when I think about how little I make out of the money I bring in, but then again I've tried for years to get my own traffic and nothing has EVER been this steady.

I just emailed support to get partychat. I caved in after I had a few guys say I should be doing it. There were loads of traffic in my room this morning but they are so damn cheap lately. I hope I get this feature so maybe I can get these cheap bastards to open their wallets.
After reading todays posts in this thread I know I'll probably get turned down because this past week this sorry bastard gave me 1 star and didn't even buy a pvt. He actually told me he was rating me and I could up his rating of me if I really wanted to. I went from a steady 5 stars down to 4.38(actually lower,but it's now coming back up slowly.)
I hope I don't have to start begging regulars to rate 5 just so I can use PC.

I e-mailed SM support and asked for it, and they asked me some questions about my connection and computer before they approved it for me.
I tried it tonight and it didn't go well for me, I was shooting for $100 goals so it wasn't ridiculously high...I think it's just extremely slow tonight. I did get a lot more traffic in my room while I had the party chat banner on. I'll try again later tonight, or maybe tomorrow.

OMG!>.im totally shocked right now
just watch three of the biggest Party Chat models not make their goal AT ALL..not even close
*one girl set a goal of $300 and didnt even make it to $50 when the countdown ended..she had over 70 people in her room
*second girl asked why no one was participating in the party chat now, and alot of customers responded with "we want prvts!!"
*another got soo pissed off she didnt make her goal that she started kicking people out of her chat
..and i mean these are the same girls that have been racking the cash money since this party chat bitch started..three of the top bitches on SM-supposedly
As much as I hate this Party Chat, I still have a glimmer of hope that it won't do as well once the novelty wore off. I was perving a model one day and there were a few guys in her room (sounded like they were regulars) ask if she was ever going back to regular pvts again because they prefer it that way. But then again, one of my regulars came into my room and asked why I wasn't doing Party Chat. When I told him only a few models are offering it as part of the testing process he said, "Well if you ever offer it I will definatly join" and then left. I was like "WTF? Did I just lose a regular?" Now, granted, he's not a big money regular. Maybe $10 a wk and he's always trying to get exclusive stuff in premium but it's still $10 a wk that I can count on. Lol. Guess not anymore.

id say by mid or end of July they will rid of this feature and come up with something else bogus!::)

How do you activate Party Chat once you're in the Free Chat area? Is it near the "Start Show" button, etc.?

there's a dropdown menu in the upper right corner where you can choose "classic chat" or "party chat" and if you choose party chat, there's a button that says "gold show" that you can click on to configure it.

Party Chat it's so addicting watch. I just watched a model didn't make her $300 goal for 10 min show she did it again reduce it to 15 gold/15 min $200 goal. The second time doing it her goal got reach.

I'll put in my experience here...today was my first day with party chat. I logged on around 9-9:30 eastern time. It was kinda complicated at 1st (couldn't figure out how to get it going without reading the instructions 3 times lol)
Once I started it I set my goal to 140 with a $7 buy in for 7 minute show, countdown of 15 minutes. I hit my goal pretty quick on the 1st one & had a few stragglers join in after I had already started, so I made more than my goal. Then I took a lil break to do some privates/exclusives, then did another one the same as the 1st with the same results, took a break, etc. My 3rd partychat I ended up canceling, but I started it up a couple minutes later and came fairly close to my goal, so I did the show anyway and got a couple more guys coming in after I had started, so I still hit my goal.
Overall I'm liking it so far...my snatch is very appreciative of the "work" to income ratio lol. But I'm going to give it a few days to decide if it is worth doing on a daily basis.

I'm pretty sure they can't rate us Kitty. I saw a model say that she was happy about that last week...
