I had my very first session yesterday. :] I know I'm not making total bank, based on the research that I've done on here. But I was proud to get anything over 100 considering it was my goal for the day, and my very first time. ^^ Hoping to hop back on for two or three hours after my vanilla job tonight.

To the girl who wanted to know what it takes to be put on weekly pay: as always, with SM support, the answer is forever unclear. This is the mail I just got:
"Hello,
Thank you for your message!
Unfortunately we are unable to change the payment schedule on your account.
Payments are on a three week delay. The payment week runs Sunday to Saturday."
Yeah... I thought so.

A lot of girls have asked to be put on weekly paid and there hasn't been an issue. Maybe this is something new? Whenever I've asked for something, SM support were always helpful, they obliged.

Marina, Snowy0Star is probably right. They seem to hold very little respect to Israel. This, along with the fact I only get 30% and have block sessions disabled "just because"... you get the picture.
I messaged Liz right now, but I'm doubtful.

You are probably right, I didn't think of that. Then you should directly contact Liz. I know she's super helpful.

@:Nina: Thank you for the info. I'm curious to see what Liz say. If is possible to be put on weekly payment or not ...
Btw i have the Block session option ( i don't use it but i have the block session option ).

I might be wrong... but I believe weekly pay is only available to US models.....?

Either the phone feature is acting up with me or guys are using it to try to get my phone number by 'trying' to call me hanging up then asking me to call them then ending it when i say just go c2c and use their computers mic its the same fucking thing isnt it? My phone never rings tho so I'm thinking there's an issue with the site.

I've never been able to get the phone option to work. I had several guys try it but my phone would never ring.

Has everyone been being paid by SM normal lately?
I haven't cammed much in the past month because Ive been moving but I worked the week starting May 26 2013 and the week starting June 9 2013
I noticed I didn't receive a check for either and just went and looked under the payment history tab and I wasn't issued a payment for either week
Im legit freaking out right now as this has never happened...
I realize this isn't SM support lol..
But has anyone not been issued payment before...If so why?
I changed my address on SM a few weeks ago....maybe that has something to do with it. Idk...Im so confused and freaking out.

Did you make minimum payout for the payment method you have chosen? The week of May 26 would have been sent on June 7th, but the week of June 9th won't be sent until this Friday June 21st.

What causes lag on a cam feed is it the ram or the internet connection or a combination of both? My computer only had a gig of ram in it so i know i need more.

Streamate you are Killing me !!
I've been off for like a month ( sickness + lack of motivation + burnt out)
Since I came back to Streamate, they introduced the wide screen and I can't manage to make the encoder work properly, whenever I decide to fucking work, I end up making pennies, absolutely no traffic, So I downloaded the new encoder setting ( tried both low and high setting) but my feed is still freezing all the time, I barely get anyone in my room, today I made 1,5$ in an hour, great !!!
I tested my upload speed and it was good, around 3
I have an i7 with 8gb Ram, my processor speed is 5,9 and a I use a Logitech 9000pro
Am I supposed to change anything in my webcam setting ? I tried to select the wide screen (19:6) from my Logitech setting, but it turns back to 640x360 automatically
To top it off streamate never retweet me lately, it never rains but it pours
Your help is much appreciated

Just read this on the "HOW DO I GET BETTER PLACEMENT?" tab in the tips and tutorials section of SM:
"We ask that Streamate performers maintain a minimum of 3% of their total time in paid chat. Staying on longer just to be in free will not increase your placement."
So... is it kinda like MFC's camscore, after all? Should I be weary of staying on long without making anything?

JAC, I hope it is. I did one of the $1 buy-in shows, with the $1 goal, and after a 7 minute countdown, not ONE person pledged!! it was an experiment, really to see how bad SM is at the moment. That's pretty bad!
I guess i'm going to have to start going on in the middle of the night, when Aussie guys are on. It's winter there,I believe, and they always pay, and are respectful. England guys are on then also.

Yep, my shows aren't selling either. It isn't just you.
People will just sit in my room and stare at me and not pledge.

I Know!! Just sit there and staring at me gives me the creeps!! I tell them that they have 1 minute to say hello, or i will block them!! Not in a happy mood these days while camming.
Even my voyeur shows are empty, because guys aren't paying for those either like they always have.
Plus, I'm now dealing with past regular high rollers, just popping in to say hello. Drives me insane!! I feel like blocking them also!

"Hello,
Thank you for your message!
Unfortunately we are unable to change the payment schedule on your account.

I got the same response when I asked to be put on weekly pay (I'm in the US). I responded that I knew some other models were on weekly pay and I wanted it to. They then said there is a review process they do to take someone off the three week delay. So then I asked how often that happened and then I got an email saying the delay had been removed.
It's possible they do only offer weekly pay to US models, but I find with Streamate support, you just have to keep asking until you get what you want, even if it takes several emails. That's what I do.

I have noticed several of my level 2 guys jumping in and out of private shows lately! At first I was pissed like wtf now you're going to peep on me??? But now it makes me wonder if they are being kicked....? I had a few guys confirm yesterday they are being kicked from privates...

Im getting guys leaving really randomly in free theyre asking questions like theyre gonna bite then leave i just had two guys in free chat leave at pretty much the same time and since i have a lag and various other stream issues due to my comps lack of ram i cant tell if its me and theyre leaving because my feed is funky or its the site.

This is exactly what I've had today 100%. And if they get past hello they'll ask me a question and immediately leave without waiting at least a millisecond for the response.

I wonder also, last night everyone left. In and out of my room all night. And then a reg that usually does decent 15-10 min exclusives, left after 2 minutes.... And my only private was also like 2-3 minutes.

06-18-2013, 01:52 PM
As I'm typing these very words it happened again. But the ones who DO stay are either freeloaders or nearly-illiterate or both, so I'm not very excited.

This is happening to me too... like they are asking stuff and we are conversing and then POOF they are gone...? They HAVE to be getting kicked... it's happening too much for them to be deciding to just leave all of a sudden...

I don't really know what happened but I've been trying to get back on SM a couple days a week and it seems that my profile was hacked......password and all. I can't sign on at all. I have emailed them several times with no response. I was texted by an old custie that said my profile pic was different and weird. Should I just make a brand new account? It's so aggravating but I see no other option. It's like I never existed

Why not?! It's slow because there aren't many spenders on the site...so when I DO get a spender I need to get more out of him. It makes you look confident and worth spending the money on. It's just like when you're shopping for electronics...you know the more expensive ones are the better ones...it's up to you if you want to get your money's worth or not ;)

no I do not. I will hold cheap as fuck gold shows.
For my experience and what I DO.. I am a fucking freak, my rates are staying. I raise my rates when I see a "baller" online. They pop in and out, never once did one say "you raised your prices!"
For the "AVEARGE JOE" I think they are OK. I live a great life, just told someone today after all the financial drama I have been through, camming kept me from going homeless.
I actually lowered my rates in NOVEMBER and my income doubled. The tips are higher and the shows are more frequent. I get a fuckton of tips in privates since I lowered. My exclusive at one point was 14.99.
it all depends on the model.
