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

It pisses me off that none of the big camming websites use social media to promote their services, despite having major budgets for marketing. All they know is to buy ads on tube websites. :(

In terms of placement I am usually on the first page in the UK but my earnings is never that good. I don't think it makes a lot of difference though I do like being on the front page. Just in case.

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 :(

i'm really horrible with tech stuff and was able to muddle my way through it. both sites have tutorials as well iirc

My bitrate is .03 mbps for some reason after being excellent all day. I ran a speed test and everything is completely normal. Restarted my router and computer. I'm hard wired and reconnected all cables. I'm checking on other models in my row and no one else is pixelated.

^waited 15 minutes to post this and the problem fixed itself? Just rode it out while online and my stream is back to excellent without changing anything

yes, many of us have noticed new girls are getting priority over old models that bring money, work schedules, high earnings
During my camming with sm they have never made newbies top row. A lot of models work years to get there. it's a hard spot to get to and hard to maintain.


Hopefully it will work out, keep your head up.

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.

You just have to play it in a different browser. It's a known glitch. Not sure if they think it's priority enough to do anything about it.

I ask if they have a particular scenario they have been fantasizing about we can play out. It'll get you into his head so you can hopefully gain some insight on what things make him tick for this kink

For years I've seen the most random people in the top 2 rows of streamate, there are literally thousands of models on the site every single day. Why anyone feels entitled to being in the top row is beyond me. Stop focusing so much on your placement and just focus on interacting with people who come in your room, from what I understand its slow for everyone. Plus the front page is totally customized for paying customers. Each paying member is recommended models based on the algorothm, So just because you are on the front page top row doesn't mean you're on everybody's front page. I'm usually in the middle of the first page but get pushed to the bottom during contests. But I am near the top of all of my best categories. Just focus on your room and not the front page and you will be fine. Stop stressing it! Lol

The key is questions. Some will be shy, so you need to ask probing questions during the session and pay attention to triggers. Triggers are little groans or gasps they make - and it's a sure sign you're in the right direction. But don't take it personally if a session was shorter. Sometimes, they might have been on what I call the "vinegar stroke". They've been jerking for a while and talking to you has tipped them over the edge. And the fact that he came back is a good sign. It takes time to get into their head, but a lot can be learned from non-verbal clues. The more info you can get, the more you can make the session more personal for him.

ugh it has been so painfully quiet for the last week or so :-( i've had a really frustrating amount of people take me exc for <minute the past couple of nights, even otherwise fairly reliable customers popping up to go exc and then disappearing after like 40 seconds without coming back to resume. it happened on a block session yesterday which was especially frustrating. is this possibly a glitch others are experiencing or am i just having shitty luck??

sorry if that is what you thought i was doing but i dont belive so. this site is set up for us to ask questions and i had ?s related to my placement. I do think its odd at 3 days ago my placemnt whent from row 1 to like row 7 or 8. i was just t wanting to see if this has happend to other models. i wasnt trying to bring negativity or any one down, i was just trying to see if any one elses placemtn has changed was all. hope ya have a great night




A few years ago, I ended friendships with some wonderful fellow models for this reason. Each day they stressed about placement, or had meltdowns when it was a slow day. We had bonds and I wanted to have friendships with them beyond camming, but that was their only focus. It stressed me out and took away from my personal reasons for being a cam model. I got tired of everyday getting messages saying "It's dead", "It's dead", "My placement dropped so I am in a bad mood" etc.

When I hyped myself up for the day, played my music, meditation and was ready for a good day... I was always faced with friends who were gloom and doom "It's so dead", "I'm having the worst day"

I ended up just quietly ending friendships and continuing my journey alone. It was better off.

To those of you who I went silent on. I hope you are doing amazing (You have active accounts on here)... but I felt the friendships were not healthy, because I could not deal with the daily complaining and negativity.

I choose to surround myself with people who have happy and driven mindsets.

I wanted to share my story, but also bring awareness to other models that if you have a friend or family member even, bringing you down... step away. Get in your best positive mind space and work from there. Toxicity can happen in many forms.

Your placement is probably going to be lower than usual until this contest is over, which is Sat. My placement has dropped a few rows since the contest started too. Just do the best you can.

No problem! Its totally ok to come to this thread and ask questions or bring awareness to concerns you may have :)

I usually let them talk to me first, but will say stuff like "hello!" "Hi guys!" And then wait for someone to respond. I get easily annoyed when I say hi to everyone by name just for them to leave anyway. whether I say their username or don't, it makes 0 difference. I've learned that me saying their names does nothing to increase the chances of that random user doing a show. If they come in my room and I give a general "hello guys, how are you?" They should be able to figure out that saying hello back to my initial "hi" will get me talking to them. I understand that every customer that pops in is a potential sale, but if they havent spent any money on me and aren't civilized enough to say hi to me like im a human being and not an animal in a zoo to gawk at, then I dont waste my energy on them. If they want to engage in a conversation with me, they 100% will.

Its just what works for me and keeps my annoyance levels low and im also able to conserve my social battery which gets drained VERY quickly on cam lol.

Of course I make an exception for regulars. They get an instant enthusiastic hi by name from me.

Hi Brooke, My placement has def not been normal the past week. Lots of disconnections w/customers this week.
These contests are obnoxious. Even a 2-3 day contest would be ok but this is just vomit inducing.

What's the circle of death? Is it a glitch? I also notice a lot of guys logging in, logging out and logging back in a sec later. Something is definitely up tonight.

Yes! So that's what's going on. Is Streamate usually quick to fix these issues?

I personally don't think so and if you try to let them know, they blame your computer instead. But that is just my experience.

Edit to add my stream quality keeps dropping to. Eventually it corrects itself but it sure is annoying.

I'm curious, do you guys usually greet every person who enters your room, or just those who talk to you first?
I used to say hello to everyone. now just the ones that say hello


Is it worth being a non nude dom model on streamate at this day and age for a 40 yr old woman with a decent body? IDK I feel like camming made me so much more in much less time but i am a tired woman lol.

I'm 42 and a non-nude domme. i only cam on SM now, but will be working on content for other sites so 100% of my income isn't based on cam. I make high 70s to mid 80s annually. been with SM since 2014

For years I've seen the most random people in the top 2 rows of streamate, there are literally thousands of models on the site every single day. Why anyone feels entitled to being in the top row is beyond me. Stop focusing so much on your placement and just focus on interacting with people who come in your room, from what I understand its slow for everyone. Plus the front page is totally customized for paying customers. Each paying member is recommended models based on the algorothm, So just because you are on the front page top row doesn't mean you're on everybody's front page. I'm usually in the middle of the first page but get pushed to the bottom during contests. But I am near the top of all of my best categories. Just focus on your room and not the front page and you will be fine. Stop stressing it! Lol

I complain about it because it hurts my money. When you work hard to get good placement and then it gets taken away from you with no explanation and your income significantly and noticeably decreases it's aggravating AF.

Busting your ass for years and having excellent equipment (that costs $$) to get good placement SHOULD "entitle" a model that worked hard to get there and spent money on equipment to provide a good user experience to keep her spot. Just being dropped down the page with no notice and no reasoning is insulting.

This isn't a "get a trophy just for logging in" industry - you shouldn't get one for just showing up.... when I grew up you had to EARN your trophy. Could just be the GENX in me tho.....

(I know I kind of just fired back, but I did enjoy your post and support what you are saying, it's the "entitled" thing that triggered me....)

There's 8 spots in the top two rows. According to your standards for entitlement, how many models on the site do you think are entitled to those 8 spots?

At least Streamate's algorithm sorts based on what it believes the customer is most likely to prefer. And if a customer has favorited you, you will be at the top of their page as opposed to someone who they haven't favorited.

Yes, I have heard customers say this too. The placement thing confuses me, and more so now, with all of the devices people use.

I check my placement out of curiosity sometimes. Monday I was hidden and had a good night, but last night more visible and it was so bad I logged out after 90 min.

The other sites must looooove when SM has their contests. haha

I am sorry if my post came off as insensitive, I didn't mean to offend anyone with my statement about placement. I think I just got a tad frustrated because I know there are many models who have been camming on SM for years (me included) who have put plenty of money into equipment and have dedicated hours of our time online just to be met with "mediocre" placement. Every single contest I get pushed farther down, sometimes to the top of the 2nd page.

Meanwhile I've seen newer models automatically get priority placement then freak out when they get bumped down. Why that is happening all of a sudden, I do not know the answer to that. (I'm not claiming you are a new model btw, just an example based on recent events and observing the front page when I'm online)

I guess my point is that many of us have been dealing with this for a long time now. We dedicate a lot of time and effort into being a good model and putting on a great show and never get the top row treatment. I'm honestly just thankful to be on the first page at all. I stopped stressing it almost a year ago when I noticed that just because models were in the top row didn't mean they were necessarily busier than models that are in any other spot. They seemed just as frustrated with how slow its been. Most of us have been dealing with that for ages now, while simultaneously getting our placement pushed down during the bullshit contests, and just in general.

I always enjoy your posts JustMilfin, I am glad we can have these kind of convos because they are def important to have.
