I have noticed a lot more customers joining privates. I had 6 last night in one for and the earliest left at 12 mins, most stayed. There were a few new guys that did not type. I am assuming they are the ipad/ phone users? Can they chat with us? I know they can hear. I think they can hear.

One more thing to add to Jess's helpful list. Don't run Logitech software and a different camera's software at the same time. It can freeze up logitech's software and it won't let you close it out. It can crash your computer. It happened to me a few times. So now I make sure I'm not running my camcorder's software when I have logitech's running.

I guess begging might not be the right word. :( I honestly can't think of what to call it. Temping model that is exactly what I mean. These guys are getting so much more from most models when she is in gold show mode. So not only are they getting a hell of a deal and a lot cheaper show...they are getting what I call lot's of preshow foreplay for nothing, and pictures and videos thrown in,because we are trying to make this show happen. How often did most models show off that much in classic chat before gold shows were born? It's sad!!! I feel all these guys are jerking off and cumming for free because of all the free showing off. I think that is why I see lots of gold show fails. Personally, I can't stand feeling this way. Seeing men sit there and I know most won't pledge..it drives me crazy. When I first seen gold shows come out, I wanted to do them in the worse way. I wrote and asked Streamate and was told it was new and in the future if all went okay, it would be offered to some models. So I waited and wanted them so bad. About two months after I wrote them I was offered them. Man was I totally excited to sign in and work. I found out that I don't care for them very fast. They put me in a bad mood. Thats just my feelings on this. Girls who rock the gold shows...good for you :) I think your awesome and you have way more patience and understanding then I do. I would rather sit in Classic chat and make my 50.00 to 100.00 a hour without the pressure of making gold shows happen. I'm just not a gold show girl.

I guess its not really a big deal to me where the industry is heading. Widescreen, gold shows, private, exclusives, free chat and everything. I'm 40 and this isn't something I want to do for much longer. It's what I do to support my children still here at home. Trust me...I don't like it anymore. I'm already full of anxiety when I am getting ready to work. Doing gold shows makes it worse. LOL All those things I used to like. Lingerie, sex toys and everything..I hate looking at. When I am done camming for good I'm going to dump a shit ton of gas on all these stinking dildos and light those bitches up LOL Yeah and you know its getting close to retirement LOL when you feel like guys should pay you for anything. Some guy asked me to smile the other day in real life. He was just being nice and polite..and has no idea what I do for a living. You know what the first thing that popped into my mind was. "fuck you..where's my gold for your request" LOL That's pretty sad. Thank God I'm married and not in the dating game. I would have that whole vibe trying to get a relationship started. LOL

Well I guess I will get off here and get ready for work. Have a good day Streamate girls and make that mula xoxoxo

Interesting about the logitech. I just manually put in the new widescreen info for SM and I was split camming by using my Toshiba's camera with another site. As I was streaming with the encoder using my logitech cam, it was really pixelated. I closed out the Toshiba cam but it was still pixilated while streaming so I'm not sure what's going on. Only when I'm streaming does it do that and my HD logitech (HD720p) was working fine with the encoder before now...

this was kinda touched on a few weeks ago about ur paid time in free chat vs paid affecting ur placement i'm wondering if i should be nursing it like i do with the cam score on MFC? like if i dont get a pvt in X amount of mins (im thinking 30-60 ) i should log off and come back in a few hours. im always reading manga or watching anime or something so its not like i get burned out being logged on so many hours.

I'm going from an upload speed of 11.07 to 0.89 and between that and the new settings I'm worried my placement will tank and I'll make no money. I only have an i3 that is pretty slow and so I think my upload speed was the only thing keeping my placement. :-\

We'll see what happens...

I agree. If you are doing a dollar a minute Gold show you are getting $.35 a person. Catering to cheap customers is NOT what any cam site should want to do. I don't care what the fuck these customers ask about. They also think we escort or want to date them. Shawn's comments the last couple of months are pretty damn shocking.




DA FUQ?

Cheaper shows???? Because....... FIFTY CENTS PER MINUTE and many, many, many times LESS than that for a gold show is NOT CHEAP ENOUGH??????????? I do believe that is the #1 request, I doubt he is bullshitting on that!!!!!

Holy what. I just. I need to leave my computer for a moment.

I have a custy account and you can change the tags once you've tagged someone, as some models that I've tagged wanted something else later (you get up to 5).

I was allllllll private and exclusive today and it was B U S Y. Gold show? Nope. $9.99/MIN FOR EXCLUSIVE BABY! :D Fuck you, Gold Shows.

But seriously. I gave in and switched to widescreen. I dislike it but I'm actively asking people what they think and so far everyone seems to love it. So whatever. They better not bitch when I can't show everything they want in one frame (which two people did in exclusives today) but SORRY I can't move my desk back far enough to get everything in view.

Oh well.

Regarding the ipad/phone users, they CAN type but I viewed on my ipad and my iphone the other day and the chat box is very small and hard to type in. They CAN hear if their audio is up but for the most part in my experience these guys don't talk much because it's just really hard to do on these devices.

I will try one gold show a night. All my money is coming from privates and exclusives. I REFUSE to cater these cheap gold shows unless it is for TV. I was shocked my earnings did not tank but instead they rise more WEEKLY. I went into CLASSIC last night and my mood changed, I WAS HAPPY. Party chat mode brings on the beggers. Classic they stare :D I noticed that I do have a handful of guys that love goldshows and that is all they ever buy.
When I switched to Classic last night
"bigdaddy" came in my room and asked why I wasn't doing gold.
I replied "its time for real money, real time and a good quality show ;)
bigdaddy replied I like gold shows, more for my money <---- something to that tune. I told him there are plenty of models doing gold.

NOW, IF SHAWN DOES NOT WANT US TO THINK THIS IS HIM he needs to make his name so NO ONE else can use it in the system. I have a ton of bigdaddy blocked, keeps coming back with the same spelling. He controls what goes on and I am sure he can make his screen name exclusive.

I want to know this too. When I did those 3 days of almost non-stop camming, I noticed my offline picture went from like page 5-6 to page frickin' 22! I don't know if that's normal, or even means anything, but dang. I logged off when it got slow last time, and I'm back up to pages 6-7.

IDK honestly. It's a pretty common name & one that raises a red flag for me. I have yet to see a paying customer with this name on the sites I work. Kind of like the guys with "money" in their name.

As far as the SM owner & what he does, I won't begin to speculate. :) haha

Whoa, OK. First day, $97 in 5 hours (mostly thanks to an awesome, easy, long SPH exclusive). Not bad, but not great either.
How many 5 stars ratings should I receive before it registers on my profile? Got 3 of 'em today.

First official day. 1 hour and a half on so far and NOTHING but freeloaders. Is it MFC in disguise? Oo

Not even playing, I seriously just told my girlfriend about SM looking way too much like MFC for my liking today...

I had it happen to me also. I have nooo idea what caused it. I pretty much just closed my encoder, then loaded it back up with the settings again. It worked fine the third time trying that. *shrug*

You need a total of 5 ratings. This is actually the reason that SM knocked me back down to a 4 star host...because I've been not-very-active on the site lately, and your star ratings on there reset every 90 days. So doing a lot of shows and getting as many guys as possible to rate you a 5 afterwards is important.

Support last night kept one of my BIG SPENDERS from blowing his load and he is loaded. I eased him through the support aggravation bc they wouldn't let him take me exclusive. He said they cleared him but everytime he tried taking me it blocked him and said to contact support. After the 3rd time on the phone with support he took me but I could feel his aggravation. He felt horrible for asking me to stop goldshow countdowns so he could go private. His spending limit is out of this world on SM and last night he was bumped down to 100.00 spending. I told him maybe it had to do with bank operating hours. I wasnt saving supports ass, I was saving my own by coming up with every reason why this could have happened.

This is why the name needs to be exclusive. I would not suggest talking smack to bigdaddy. Been there, done that and he will cut your stream if it is him. We dont know which bigdaddy is him so if he demanding and rude THAT IS NOT the owner. I still do not suggest talking smack to any bigdaddy.

Ahhhh fuck, maybe that's why I had a bad night last night, pretty sure I flipped a bigdaddy off for wanting me to take off clothes. Lol. Or I just sucked. Can somebody please help me with these widescreen settings? Anyone else using the settings with the c910? I have the c910 and am using the recommended settings. I have been told I look a little stretched on screen. Anything I can do to fix that? Sometimes when I zoom out it helps, but not all the time. Anyone else having this issue? Should I keep using the widescreen settings or should I just go back to how it was before? I have been on the first page since changing to widescreen, but also took off geoblock.... so it may not be due to the widescreen setting. I had a couple of girls look at it last night and I was stretched a bit, but they told me to just leave it how it was for the time being. And currently I am unable to change my setup. Any help would be really great!

i dunno if im doing something wrong or if its just them but i'm having a hard time making any money since thursday/friday. as soon as i see a name log in i say hi hru or something like that. they will either say hi back or just not say anything and neither will i then they leave or we have a little convo then he stops i stop then he leaves. so basically i have them lead the convo and if they dont give me anything more to work with to keep the conversation going i just stop talking and smile at them until they take me pvt or say something new (but that never happens they just leave after a while)i know its been said numerous times the more we talk the less they pay so is it them or am i not engaging enuf/ not putting effort in to the sale then i should be?

I didn't delete anything. I just closed the encoder, then opened it again, then opened the settings in it again. I had to do this twice and it somehow stopped glitching after that. I really don't know what was up with that, and I have no idea if it's something the customers would even see or not. If you still have trouble you can PM me and I might be able to help you figure out what's wrong. I've fought with it so much lately that I might have some things you can try.

Why do I ever bother logging on to SM during the day? All I get are fucking begger morons with zero conversation skills. Nights are where it's at for me, but it would be really nice to be able to work during the day. Grrrr.

^ Speaking of which: I can never actually tell WHEN I'm on SM. I mean, I live in Israel and right now it's midnight in here. I noticed that a few hours ago I did much better on SM than now (beggar morons with zero conversations skills, as you said). What is the time-zone I should mentally work with to get to "know" the best/worst times on SM?

I have had this happen before too, specifically last night, with several regs who are like pissed about it too. Then again this afternoon. Just wondering, were they ever able to figure it out for you? I can't even get any help from support.

I let support do the support thing. When members complain I say something to ease them , offer a video (for money of cousre) but for the most part I just tell them to be patient esp at night when they have the most issues validating cards etc. Support kinda blows for us, one reason most of us come to each other for help. SOMEONE HERE will give something that will work for some and not others. It all depends what the issue is and if a model has experienced it usually they will help when reading the post. We try to help each other.

all of us are different time zones. Most have a schedule. I kinda flip around the site with times bc of customers in different regions. When you have a good fan base , finding a good time will not really matter.
I am USA and I see models say from different regions "xyz time sucks" but I will bank. It all depends. When you posted this I was slammed, so that shows what I am talking about. There was a dead period but you can work around that by doing a price drop (if u wish) to get more ppl to join shows. Just a idea

Days are slower, I can agree but its more relaxed. I ignore beggars. They will buy. I hate blocking ppl bc someone else will come and take their place and ya never know when they will buy.
I had a beggar today , never buys shows. He bought my whole gold show and more TODAY. No One else had put in until we went into the gold show

Aww..yeah I know. They were just mad at the site and I was able to appease them, and they were able to tip me. I was just really concerned about it becoming a problem and I had never seen anyone post anything else like this specifically happening to them on SM. So it does feel better to know it's not just me. I just got Gold Shows, because I was only recently able to use the encoder. Are you able to do those when this happens do you know? And I have backups. Patience is a virtue. Thanks for the nice response tempting :)

If the person is having a account issue, no funds etc they can not buy shows. If they have a few bucks but can't buy a private , usually they can get a gold show.
