Maybe its because of summer?
Maybe its because of GoldShows?
Maybe its because of all the glitches with the website lately?
WTF, well IF its cuz of Goldshows why dont we stop giving them? I know SW has a lot of girls from streamate posting here and maybe it could make a difference. I dont know what else to do? Write support maybe...has anyone asked them directly if they have a answer?
Last night I viewed some girls rooms, the ones at the top of the page on streamate and they had traffic but i did notice not much money put in. Actually though one girl had about $60 gold in with 10 min left on countdown, with a goal of like $420 for a show that was well worth the buy in but i didnt stick around, i dont know if she made it ( im guessing not) no one makes a goal of $420 lol. shit.
Anyways how about we all ban together (I know this has been said before on stripperweb) but try not to set your damn goldshows too cheap.
for example: I did a goldshow of 10 for 10 the other week and made it.. what does that say? I have NEVER reached that shit before but like cmon there is dudes that are there that will pay, we just have to TRY to weed out the beggars or cheap asses..get them over to MFC lol..right?
What im going to do is not let my GS become begging shows, I will try this next time im on SM.... lately it feels like im begging for goldshows and fuck that.
Im not going to tell you do this for your price/length/goal blah blah... but cmon you know whats a good deal is for a show and wats a complete give away and u know what your show is worth, dont go dirt cheap to try to get a show.
I hope i dont bite myself in the ASS later for this post, I have hope in SM and dont want to see it crash and burn, I have only been camming for 2 years and streamate has always been good to me. :pray:

honestly Im a little offended at ur jab at MFC i havent made 100 yet this week being on SM for 10 hours a day but ive made almost $200 since the 16 on MFC for about 14 hours. Im considering spending less time on SM and more time on MFC please watch u say about other cam sites we all have our sites different times of the day and even days of the week we bank on because were all different and special in our own way

when I hold 1 buck gold shows that is when the big money tips roll in, they love feeling like they are taking care of us. I have had more customers who I never saw buy out 1 buck gold shows.
When I have a higher price, they just pay that price, nothing extra for the most part. (unless its a regular and he is super horny)
I make more than a MARRIED COUPLE in my area. I will not complain about 1 buck fucks. ;)

SM decided my place is on page 3. If it wasn't for a regular who loved me from day 1 and who decided taking me to a super-long exclusive (and wondered why and how the heck I'm on page 3) I'd make $0, because I literally don't have traffic.

Actually I know that host that does the 420 goals. She is always really high up on the page so she must make a lot. I've seen her get 420 lots. (Not lately though).

Maybe u should find other sites to work on? I REALLY hope u have another job. Try clips indie camming PSO (night flirt and sugar talk are what im on) my porn profile pimping ur links to EVERYTHING u work on in ur twitter get hootsuite and program it to auto tweet things at certain times of the day . If you really wanna make camming work u gotta know how to make it work for you. Its the summer i know traffic has died it just seems like the company is fucking u hardcore like no lube or money on the table in the morning after kinda hard. you cant log in look cute and pretty sit in front of ur computer and have things magically happen for you. i know that may have come of as a bit harsh but i was where r u a few months ago i annoyed the fuck out of Twisted Princes and a few others constantly in gen chat wondering WTF was wrong me and i made a thread in verified and figured out it was me and my past issues with men creating a blockage for me to shine but once i realized that i started working thru it and started to develop my hustle and watch other cam girls i still watch other cam girls more then i think i should but whatever. I just dont think SM is the place for u theyre stacking everything they can against u and SM isnt the be all end all of cam sites theres plenty of others out there for u to try. You can stay if u want its just i think u need to explore other sites other avenues to success in adult work.

I think the problem is that a lot of girls got caught with their pants down (no humourous pun intended) by this Streamate thing. They haven't even had time to catch their breath and look for anything else yet. I know that I personally have just started looking.
Helpful advice is indeed helpful but we do have to be careful not to kick people when they are already down. YKWIM?

It's not even about being "harsh". You're just plainly wrong. It's definitely not about me. I did very well financially on my first few days on SM. I know how to hustle. I do not have any "past issues". I just honestly believe SM is giving me a cold shoulder for unknown reasons, and it's annoying me and frustrating me because I really do like it as a website when it works for me.
It's really, really insulting to read your words implying I "annoy the fuck" out of other camgirls, especially since I considered this place as the ultimate source for support. But, OK.

Yeah, it's easy to be down on yourself when things aren't good...sometimes it just takes an adjustment of attitude to make all the difference. I actually had a decent night last night and again so far today. I'm also on page 2/3 (it bounces) and don't have much traffic but I try to keep myself positive. That's the hardest part...don't over analyze yourself. Try split camming if you can...it's always nice to have a back up for a little extra cash.

Then I could find rainbows intolerable!

What I meant by my oversized jpg is that you and I could BOTH just mind our own business and just focus on making our money and never post one helpful thing on the forum for other camgirls but we both believe in not leaving any camgirl behind so we love and tollerate and help the fuck out of everyone, sometimes whether they want it or not.

I'm so happy to say that I've been doing well, too Miss Pickles :) I've finally figured out my niche and SM has been good to me lately, but I'm preparing myself for the inevitable low times.
I really appreciate this community, and especially this thread, because it's easy to feel like you're doing something wrong as a model or not good enough when jerks pop in and out of your room. Reading everyone's experiences on this thread helps me to keep things in perspective and remember that, up or down, high or low, we all rock and deserve to make lots and lots of money for our efforts! I love that this group of you ladies is here for advice and some funny-ass GIFs to help! I can't wait until I have something helpful to contribute :)

I really, REALLY hate hearing all this about SM going downhill... I've only been doing this for a short time, but I really do like SM. I don't want to have to switch to Chaturbate of MFC because I don't understand the hustle on those sites.
Streamate is just like... "Hey, this is what I'll do and this is what you pay for it." And they do. They don't argue. Well, sometimes they do, but there are far fewer people who have all these stupid fucking opinions on how I should run my room. WHy can't Streamate just go back to how it was before? Like, I wasn't on in "the good old days" that I'm always hearing about, but it sounds like everything they've done to "improve" has made it worse!

All is not lost! Streamate is not going anywhere. Things have become slow, they haven't stopped completely.
If there is anything to be learned from this situation it is that you should always have more than one egg in your basket.
(People have been telling me this since the day I started being a camgirl. You think I would of taken the time to listen.) ;)

I just had repost some of what JAC said in one of her previous posts:
"... my value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see my worth."
Such an Aha moment for me. I am that hundred dollar bill. Doesn't matter if it's clean, dirty or all crumbled up, its value doesn't change. A hundred dollar bill is still a hundred dollar bill.

MFC does have a lot of traffic....and a lot of freeloaders, is this not a true statement? Thats all, MFC ya sure it must be a awesome site...i dont work it....maybe thats why I wrote this in the streamate thread. I wasnt being fully serious..im sorry you didnt realize it, most my posts are silly anyways, im sorry if it offended you and your views on MFC, Im not knocking it, I might even try out MFC one day actually! ;D

MFC is certainly a different hustle. More of a stripper hustle like someone else here said before. I'm sure the stripper mentality can work for SM too. (Think of private shows as champagne rooms :P) I've been watching a lot of stripper how-to videos lately....Back on subject!
I tend to favor MFC over SM because the higher percentage, the potential, and no privates. But MFC can be shitty too with its cam score system and free for all free chat. I like SM because it's faster to make money and I like the set up more. I think MFC needs a total makeover. It's been how many years? lol.
