Here's why I don't mind the "dating" ads...

Guy enters free chat says "I'm new to the site, I'm looking to meet girls in my area to fuck"

I said, "Welcome to the site! I'd be happy to help you with that in exclusive chat"

He waits a couple minutes.....then he enters exclusive chat for 13 minutes at $9.99/min - $46 in my pocket - and forgets that he was there to meet girls to fuck....

SOOOOOO............. you CAN make money off these guys if you play it right..... just sayin'.

EX-ACT-LYYYYYY!

So true...

I have *no problem* with Streamate advertising as a dating site if I get to convert those guys (that's still my job, after all). - Site throws me traffic, my job to convert them into paying custies. Even the guys who haven't joined yet, but can see my stream as an ad, or whatever. It's our job to reel in paying clients.

And so, if SM want to direct me traffic / men who expect something I am actually not going to give (dates), but are willing to pay me for the privilege of stringing them along, then I shall do that.

I have fabricated extremely lengthy scenarios - which are essentially just very elaborate role plays - involving questioning the man about his interests so I can "get to know him"; reiterating that I "don't usually do things like this / as I'm not a real escort" (upping the desire levels because I'm considering HIM as a first, which usually makes them more eager); and a catalogue of other things based upon the info he provides me which help that client remain a paying client of mine without losing interest... Basically, if you can invent as many "hurdles" as you possibly can, which he has to jump through before you give an answer as to "yes, I will date you!" or "no, this is a camsite, fool", then this type of private becomes so lucrative and actually (relatively! ~ once you have nailed down the basic framework of such an act) easy, it's actually ridiculous.

I do not morally back away from this, why?

I make no promises for dating me in free chat. I never say that dating me, buying in-person sex, becoming my partner, etc are serious possibilities. I don't give "yes" or "no" answers, and hustle is not me grabbing his hand and forcing him to click that "Enter Private Chat" button. It's still his personal responsibility for handing over his cash. I cannot take responsibility for such a thing, no matter who takes me private. Once I am taken private, that individual has consented and decided to become a paying client, whereupon I am working for that pay by catering to what I feel he / she wants based on the information provided, without breaking the rules of my contract, or going beyond my comfort zone.

Speaking of which... what's the line between "I want to get to know you" to "I'd like to waste your time"?
I almost never do it in private, but in exclusive, the first thing I ask the member after "What's your name?" is if he'd like to turn on his cam. They almost always do, and then I'm trying to engage in a "pre-action" smalltalk, but I always, always feel super-insecure that the guy will log off and rate me 1 star (which never actually happened) because he'd think I'm trying to waste his time and don't intend on giving him the best show. So, even WHILE such conversation is taking place and and the guy seems very interested and engaged, I always find myself giggling embarrassingly and saying "So... umm", as if I did something wrong.
How do I stop this?! (I hope I articulated my feelings correctly. It came out a little weird.)

Sometimes a guy will take me exclusive and not really... do anything, in which case I go ahead with my "classic" show, lol - pretty much what I do for most GOLD shows which is just a basic cum show. If he didn't want that then, meh.. too bad for him for not speaking up about his specifications! :P

I'm fucking blown away!
Another fucktard.
Once again he typed his name!
"Chris27: Chris27 has successfully sent you $10.00 of GOLD."
"Open your legs bb."

Do they honestly believe girls are that dumb?

Oh, no - that's not what I meant. I mean, how do I stop worrying about actually talking to the guy before any "action" (lol) starts? I hate it that even if the guy seems to really be into talking to me, I get really nervous and hear the clock ticking in my head ("Why aren't you naked yet?!"). I feel like I might be damaging myself/losing potential money by suddenly saying "So, what can I do for you?" or "Would you like to see me naked yet?" while the conversation is still up and going, just because I'm stressed.

I agree with this. When I was a dancer, one of my managers would always say to us: "its not YOUR/OUR fault if men confuse fantasy for reality" and its true. They are paying for fantasy. If they think its reality, its not your problem. You cannot (and should not!) try to change someone else's mind about things, even if they are wrong.

Nina, u should NEVER worry about doing what u do cause u doing the right thing, i know models (friend of mine) keeping guys in pvt for hrs (not on SM) just by talking to them and engaging in deep conversations, they forget about time and spend a lot on her, that's her talent and she benefits off it a fucking lot. i dont have this talent, we have different hustle/ style, appearance, etc, members dont wanna talk to me but get a proper show (most of my members are fetishists, they come to me for specific things, hers are vanilla guys and pedos, she looks very young and she's slim, i am curvy and looking like a classy lady). so keep going and start getting intimate when THEY ask, till then talk talk talk!!!

Do they honestly believe girls are that dumb?

If it's any consolation it's not just SM. I had a guy on my other site in freechat:
TWATT: 'can you give me a twirl plse bb?'
missdemeanour: 'sure sweety, can you tip me first plse?'
TWATT: 'how do I do that bb?'
missdemeanour: 'the gift button just under this chat window'
few secs later
TWATT: 'I tipped you bb'
missdemeanour: 'sorry do you think I'm fucking stupid?' BAN!

Sad thing is that new girls will be fooled by all this bollox, sadder still is to think there are guys that desperate & who get off getting one over on us ladies :(. I'm sure it's just another fetish!

You guys dont be a dumbass like me.I ussually splitcam with SM and MFC.Anyways the guys on MFC kept begging me to let them know what other site im working.so i sent them a link to my streamate model account screename.I guess i forgot i was logged on to my SM member account so i can check my placement.So i guess when i sent the MFC guys the link to my SM profile.Somehow ,someone on MFC hacked in my SM account and was buying shows.I guess since i was logged to my member account it kept me sign on when i sent them the link.

This is where it get scary for me.I was doing a goldshow in the middle of deepthroating the dildo i see my SM member account NAME just tipped to come in my GOLD SHOW.In my mind im like how the heck did this happened .I just continued with the goldshow not really thinking about it.

so i get out the goldshow.The screen name that i use for my SM member account asked me "Judy are you still selling videos".you guys, i almost shitted on myself because the screenname i choose is so unique noone else could of had it.I went into panic mode.I automatically shut off my computer. I didnt know what to do so i went back online to see if this really happened.so i went to go check my goldshow payment and it showed my SM member account screen name tipping for my gold show.


so automatically i started telling the people in my room that someone hacked into my account and what should i do.So this guy that was watching me from MFC came to watch me on SM and he said" remember Judy you sent us a link to your SM account ".I automically called SM support to tell them that my account has been hacked.


You guys u can not believe the horrible customer service i received from SM support.They were yelling at me.I guess some way ,some how they new i was a model and they yelled at me and said dont call this number again this for members only ,not models.I told them" i know but i also have a member account".They started giving me hell.to make a long story short after being yelled by customer support they finally close down my members account on SM ,before this person went on a show buying spree with my members account.

sorry if this is wordy,hopefully u guys understand what happened.if you dont just ask me and ill try to re-word it or some else that understand what happened can explain it for me.sorry english not my first language.

The reason i was so scared that i got hacked cuz the person had all my information and i was scared they were going to hacked my models accounts also.

Wow, that's insane! I'm sorry that happened to you, and I'm sorry to hear that SM Support is still treating people like shit. SMH. Unfuckingbelievable.

Also, a former SW member posted on here a while back about how she got in trouble on MFC for advertising another cam site, I believe? I can't remember what exactly happened...she may have posted the link to her SM profile directly in her MFC public chat? I think you're safe if you just speak about SM without linking to your profile. I think I've even seen MFC models with something on their MFC profile linking them to other cam profiles. So maybe it's just posting the SM link in MFC public chat that gets a model in trouble?

Customer:Lets get to know eachother better
Me:OK
Custi: type don't talk, how can I reach you
me : (takes forever to type a lame comment about being suspended but it was a whole run on sentence paragraph)
Him: asks how we can meet ;)

In the meantime I get bored, start playing with myself but he demands I type as if SM can not read what we type

Money ran out in the middle of one of my long paragraphs. :) YAY ME!

SO, let the dating games begin!
The customers are delusional. While they are in that state of mind, I will rack it up.

Its all a fantasy, correct? LOL

So, I'm returning to camming after taking a few months off. I'm starting to think I want to avoid the fees from payoneer...and even dailypay. I just opened a bank account and was hoping it would be better than using payoneer. Do I need to go back to SM to do this? Is it even possible to go back to SM from daily pay? I just want to do direct deposit with as little fees as possible :) Thanks in advance for any replies.

So, I'm returning to camming after taking a few months off. I'm starting to think I want to avoid the fees from payoneer...and even dailypay. I just opened a bank account and was hoping it would be better than using payoneer. Do I need to go back to SM to do this? Is it even possible to go back to SM from daily pay? I just want to do direct deposit with as little fees as possible :) Thanks in advance for any replies.

Of course you can leave Daily Pay and open a new account straightaway. I did it 2 weeks ago, and the new account was opened within 5 hours. Daily Pay members are auto released. You just need to send a request closing account email to SM.

Direct deposit is actually not available on SM (unless thru payoneer which has fees, not sure what the fees are). The closest thing to direct deposit you can get on SM is a wire transfer but it is $40 per check.

Paper check sent by fedex is $30 per check.

Paper check sent by regular mail is FREE. This is what I use and I've never had an issue with lost checks or with my bank accepting the checks.

$3 per check for direct deposit thru payoneer? Is that the ONLY fee? If so.... I might be interested in this... what day does it hit your bank account?

This. I don't want any fees... In the six weeks I've been working, I've only had one week where I made over 500, and that was still less than 550, so I don't want to lose even a tiny bit of what I'm making. No fees? Snail mail it is.

The fee for direct deposit through Payoneer is $5 to set up then $3 for each payment (so $8 the first week, $3 each week afterwards). For me it is worth it 110% because I hate dealing with checks and others here have had issues with them. Also you can write off the fees on your taxes, not saying that makes it worth at all for that lol it but something to point out.

The Husband reckons I'd have to spend appx $5000 on shit for cam in a year to make itemized tax deductions better than the standard deduction. I kind of trust him on this because he's 30 and had been dealing with W-2s and taxes since he was 16. I'm 22 have have only been dealing with taxes since I was 19, and that was two years in the Navy (yay turbotax) and one year stripping (yay no papaer trail). I sincerely doubt I'll be spending that much on camshit. I'm keeping my receipts just in case, but I'd still rather not have fees.

I'm actually pretty clueless how this 1099 stuff works, and I'm starting to get nervous, because I keep hearing words like "quarterly" and "estimated taxes" and... um.. "1099." And I don't know what any of that is or how to work with it. Thinking of talking to a tax specialist soon so I don't accidentally screw something up.

You might be better off posting that question in the taxes thread since people who know more about taxes are more likely to see it there, but for me personally I think it is worth it pay a good CPA because not only do they save you a lot of money but it's soooo much less stress.

The first time I believe is $5 and its $3 for every direct deposit after. It hits your account every Tuesday unless there's a Holiday.

Payoneer charges a $2.00 monthly maintenance fee. Also if you want immediate deposit on Friday they will charge a $5.00 fee. If you want to have regular or w.e deposit it will cost $3.00 and yah I think it goes in the bank around Tuesday. Plus why I dislike Payoneer and why I switched to checks is because they charge you per transaction, Im not sure how much % exactly but for example my rent goes up about $10-12 more because of the Payoneer fees to take out that much money at a time. Everything costs a little bit more with Payoneer. BOO!! >:( Stick with checks bb ;)

I just thought about this, I was getting ripped when I used Payoneer
$2.00 maintance Fee
$5.00 per week for deposit into my bank ( BUT it was instantly ) -->$20 a month!!!
PLUS per transaction you have to give a %!..

shiiiiiiit Lol So like im guessing around $50.00 down the drain because I had Payoneer in a month...maybe more..who knows..

Same thing happened to me this morning. Had great success last night. Barely made $20 in five hours.
Oh the joys of camming.
Don't give up. I just started on SM, also.
My first week I made BANK.
The last couple days I haven't come close to my goal.
I see major potential though, I am already getting people coming back and I don't give out freebies.
I feel like personality goes a long way there but have nothing else to compare to, so I'm not sure.
I do know that me just sitting and talking with people has made them come back and buy privates so I guess I'm doing something right?

Where are you located? If you're in the US, you get BOTH standard and itemized. The standard part goes on your 1040, and the itemized part goes on your Schedule C. So you take the standard deduction regardless of your expenses, then you ALSO take the itemized "business" deductions. PM me if you need help.

Streamate is a completely different hustle than MFC. I see this kinda often on twitter... a model comes over to SM from MFC and can't figure out why she's not banking right out of the box. It's just a completely different style of camming. Streamate is definitely not dead tho...

Yes, bad day here too. I think it was a combo of sm and my windows? For sure the guys were getting booted left and right today. I had alot of them tell me that. Saw them come back multiple times trying to stay in my room.
Also just a heads up. I couldn't get my screen to minimize and thought it was on SM end. It's not. I googled it and I'm not sure what exactly it is, but I got around it by using a different browser. Something with the new windows. Anyway. I'm going to look some more and try to fix it b/c today was not happening.

are you in the states?

I only pay 3 bucks per bank deposit. I paid 5 bucks extra when my account was started. I am only charged 3.00 per deposit.. I do not have other charges per transaction. TRUST ME, if I had other charges, I wouldnt fuck with it.

All in all I might pay 12 bucks a month and 100% worth the LESS STRESS

I use the direct deposit to my bank account.

I prefer DD w payoneer bc banks will not cash my checks. Not sure if its the amount BUT they always wanted to put a two week hold on them. Have mercy if the Post Office looses my check. That is when I sit with cramps and usually a big bill is due when that happens, that is my luck.

I didn't make AMAZING Money, but I did way better for the short time I was there. anyway, I know the sites are completely different from each other, I was just wondering if someone could give me some hustle tips for SM? I hope I am not out of line for asking that, but I just want to know how I can be more successful. Yes, I know different things work for different people, but what works for you?

Guys, two questions:

1) Is there any possibility to enlarge the custie's screen when doing C2C? I do tons of C2C and I noticed that it's always awkward for me in the end, cause the screen's so small (and I'm pretty far away from the monitor when performing) that I have no idea when exactly the guy's ejaculating, so I've to guess and roll with it and I hate it, cause I feel like I'm doing a bad job.
2) As a non-US resident, I've no idea what the implications of the 4th of July on people in the US are. How many days of "official" vacation are there? And is it usually dead on this day (and the one following it?) on SM, or is it business as usual?

I was one of those converted models.

All I can say is just like streamate told me when I requested my account to be closed.

That was the only advice I was given :) and glad I took it to heart.

I have had the strangest week on SM. TONS of people coming in and leaving without saying a word. People generally at least chat with me! What could be the deal? I check the cammmodels link to be sure nothing wacky was going on, and everything looks normal. I went from making almost a hundred bucks an hour to absolutely not a dime this week. Im freaking the fuck out!
