To be prepared for future contests if you look under “contest leadership” for the previous contest and then click “show more contests” you’ll be able to look at the previous years contests dates. They generally don’t change much. It goes back many years. You can use that as a guide to pre block off contest week estimate dates so you’re not surprised when they pop up and can be better prepared. I usually block those estimates off so I know that the weeks beforehand I should be working more since contest time is usually dead. Hope that helps!

^^^ Yes, something is going on, I noticed my placement was off a bit last night but thought it might be because I took a week off. Then I looked around and other peoples placement and theirs seemed much different than their "usual" spots, too...strange. It seems they "shuffle" us around from time to time with no rhyme or reason...

It did - I just looked at the front page and it's a hot mess.... Nobody is in their usual spots.... My room was so dead I just logged out.

It's a double bind - need to stay on to make $ since placement sucks, but it makes your placement worse long term by staying online in a dead room....

I didn't even think to check my placement until last week, because I'm usually in the 1st or 2nd row in my category.
Was shocked to see that I was at the bottom of the page and God knows how many pages back I was on the site.

No traffic and only a few regs who didn't buy shows or even tip.
After being loyal to Streamate for 13 years, I find this insulting.
Not going to waste my time on here anymore.
Sad.
It used to be such a great site.

The ones you are mentioning was 10 years ago. Most of those successful models retired and I love that for them. I am retired but still go cam for fun occasionally, just because I love so many of my long time regs. It is no longer a hustle, a job... but a little side fun.

I don't have time to browse the site anymore but I'm sure there are many entertaining models on SM these days too.

I love seeing newer models doing challenges and goals here, that's awesome! It reminds me of the days when I did the same.

Nikki is still here. I know Shea left to go to OnlyFans and turn strictly content creator. Which is where a lot of the models are turning to and I get it. I wish I could do that but for me, it is way more work. But that is what is happening to them.

Whatever happened with Streamfans? I haven't seen any more info since they posted on Twitter way back in May.

I was invited to test it and it was a major downside. I’m not putting sweat and tears into a platform that will have non existent conversion (I have both OF and Fansly and my clicks on the 2nd one are less than half).
Right now they are implementing something called Kwikys, which is supposed to be a nude version of Tiktok, but there are already a shit ton of other platforms with NSFW short clips (TikTits for example, which are scams and never remove stolen content).

Kwikys (makes my brain melt that someone tried reinventing the wheel with that name and actually got paid for it) will be used for promoting StreamFans. They were looking for performers willing to make nude tiktoks worth $25/clip. But I declined the offer, I’m not getting paid $25 for content that will make them way more money on the long run. My branding is worth more than that to affiliate myself with their product.

I’m a veteran and have retired from live camming. I feel like at this point with social media dominating the business, investing my time into promoting makes more money than entertaining men directly. There is still money to be made with camming, but I don’t know anyone that makes 6 figures per month from it, compared to content creation.

Some examples that were top models on SM and have transitioned to OF are SubmissiveLexi and AubreyDiamond, both now have different strange names and do social media full time.

Joining a studio is definitely not needed. I can say if you are committed and have good selling skills, you’ll get to the top on your own. No studio has the ability to convert all models into top earning ones, actually for every high earning performer they probably have 10 more medium and low performing. Which proves how little impact studios/agencies have in the end.

Did he just hit his limit or why would SM tell him he has to contact support?

This is 100% true! Social media is where the BIG money is now.

Wonder what happened to Nikki Ferrari, Candi Cruz and so many of them.\

Candi was one of my favs. Ava Alexander too. I hope they're doing great now a days.

So I always have background music playing via youtube in another tab when I cam, and it seems like sometime within the last few weeks, maybe even months, customers have lost the ability to hear what is playing in my other tabs? I have a reg that I always listen to music with and I just play it on youtube and turn it up, and now no matter how loud I make it he doesn't hear it at all. It first happened a few weeks ago and I thought it was some weird glitch, but it's still happening. I have also tested it with two more regs and they say they can't hear it. I also haven't had a guy comment on my music in free chat for a long time which is unusual looking back.

Doesn't streaming YouTube use bandwidth ?

Strange that music isn't being picked up by your mic, I have seen this happen with streamed fitness classes (using zoom).

maybe try playing it off your phone or an external speaker instead? i had this issue also and had to switch to using my phone, which is kind of annoying as i imagine the sound quality isn't as great, but seems to have fixed the problem

I use obs to play music into the stream. there's an add-on, application audio capture , you can download from their website. add it to the audio mixer panel inside OBS and it'll play from whichever program you want. you also select your microphone you will use here. use obs as a virtual cam in the smconnect web encoder menu and make sure to select the virtual cam button inside obs as well, in the controls panel. select your microphone in the audio mixer panel.

then get the virtual audio plugin here: https://vac.muzychenko.net/en/
you can select the virtual audio cable plugin inside obs settings > audio > advanced tab
you can add all the audios you want to play on your stream or to have a available on the ready for your stream.

(I have my browser set as a source and a media player and my bluetooth earpiece microphone. i'm always playing delta/theta waves, but sometimes get requests to watch a porn video and while i can't share what i'm watching on my cam screen with them or them holding up a second device or trying to screen share the porn through their end of the cam, i just pipe the audio through the browser. or i can play special requests in exclusives via the browser tab. you can also add special visual effects to your video stream using obs)

select the virtual audio cable inside the settings for microphone on the smconnect webencoder page and it will play from the audio you set up inside obs.

Ahhh I want to learn how to do this but I’m so confused already. I’ve seen girls with a super clear audio input from a song, but she’s able to talk alongside it and it sounds so clean.
i am guessing this is exactly what she does.
Is there a simpler way to do it? I’m just really confused by everything above :(

If we get paid via ACH transfer in the US, can we deduct that fee when filing taxes?

My accountant said yes and I claimed it as a deduction last year so hopefully she was correct.
