I'm having a super hard time on Streamate lately and I don't really understand why! I'm always friendly and I get more pumped up for Gold Show countdowns (even though it's really hard when no one is talking), but I get so many people coming into my room and leaving!
I was thinking that maybe I should try to change something up, but I really have no idea what or how :( I know it's a holiday today, but, I'm still getting people in my room, but they don't want to buy anything or even talk which makes it even worse. I'm just so frustrated about the whole thing right now.

I dont think its you.Lately streamate has a probaly where its not loading up.
For example ,i will be online and everyone will keep comming in and out without saying anything.I know something is wrong cuz i see the same people trying to come to my room over and over again.So what i will do is open anorther browser and google my cam name and open up my room.what i find is that my room wont load up.so what i do is log in and out and the problem is fix.
Try watching yourself and put it on mute so there is no echo.

You can be pleasant and look happy but if no one is talking then you have to kick them all out. No need for anyone to be in your room without tipping or talking. That's how I handle it in my room.

Exactly! If they just want to stare then they can do that outside my room. Don't offend me with your presence.
Well said! I first greet them and ask about their well being. If they sit there for more than a couple of minutes without responding, out they go. I find people not acknowledging back me offends me just as much as the people who troll. It's just rude, IMO.

It took me a while to realize you guys are right, and during my first couple of weeks on SM I'd see the exact same people just LURKING in my room, not saying anything; I'd give them the benefit of the doubt, hoping they'd all of a sudden take me private. But, yeah, I sobered up, and now if a guy stays in my room for more than 10 minutes straight without saying anything I kick him out.
The thing is... I can definitely see why it happens on MFC, but on SM? What are they waiting for? There's obviously not going to be a any cum show, so what do they want? O_o

The thing is, I do watch my stream to make sure it doesn't freeze up and I kick out people when I think they're been around too long without saying anything.
I think it is me ( ´・ω・) I'm trying to figure out how to change it up or what I can do different but I'm having a difficult time. I'm just a little discouraged. I started camming in March so I'm still a little new to this so I'm trying to figure out how to work my room to encourage them into my Gold Shows since that's where I usually make all my money and I haven't had a successful one in 2 weeks and barely any privates lately!
I wish I could have a camgirl mentor!

As I've used my tv as a monitor and speakers for a while heres how to set it up!
After the HDMI cable is connected to the tv and computer Right Click on your desktop and click Screen Resolution (usually towards the bottom of the list). 34157
Should look something like that, you may have to click detect to get your tv to show up. Then click on the big blue box that is your tv and set it as #1 If you want to use a monitor too you can extend or clone, those options show up when there both plugged in, but I don't have my other monitor hooked up atm.
Step 2
Making your TV play audio:
Go into the start menu and open the control panel, click on Hardware and Sound, then sound
34158
It should look something like that. Click on your TV and hit the set to default button. If you have any other speakers you should prolly disable those just right click on the icon and hit disable. Then you should be good to go. Right click on the TV icon in the sound menu and you can test it, or just turn on some music. Make sure the TV volume is on tho or it wont work ^^;
Sorry if the pics are weird I dont attach stuff ever so not good at it lol
Anywho hope this helps somewhat. ^_^

I have started to tell them, if you can't be polite enough to say hello when you come into my room, then you can leave. You wouldn't walk into a party without saying hello to the host.. don't do it here. and if they tell me they are just jacking off to my face. I take one of my lace panties and I put it over the camera. I tell them they can do it just like if they were in a confessional, they can't see me! they always leave and everyone else laughs :)

Holy shit.. I have not seen the site this dead in probably 3+ months. I had to sign off before I went psycho. It must be because it's the 4th of July.. I checked other girls rooms and I only saw one room with over 20 people in it. Derp!
Soooo I'm sitting here all dolled up. I guess I might as well shoot some videos. I have a feeling tonights videos are going to be bitchy & angry haha! :P
EDIT: on the plus side of tonight I saw the new message they sent out about the most recent encoder update. So I gave it a shot and it worked awesome. No Paula Abdul-esque funky video stretching or other problems with the new settings. Huzzah!

I think alot of them are waiting for someone to take me pvt so they can peep. That way they already know I'm naked and they can jack off for the 1 min it takes some of them. But some are just 30 sec peeps. But I have had guys sit around for awhile and take me pvt. One fell asleep. LOL i booted him and he came back and we went pvt. Some just want to feel out your personality.

That member 'tattoo' used to come in my room and be all "Mmmm" when I flashed boobs, and then he'd type "brb" so he could go freeload in other models' rooms. Then he'd come back and do it again. I don't think that guy's ever spent money on me on Streamate. He remembers me from Webcams.com, so he probably thought we had some sort of special connection or something (allowing him to freeload with no shame). *rolls eyes*

This is how I feel about it too...with both SM and MFC. If you plan to just sit there and get a feel for the model's personality, you might as well just log out and watch in guest mode. When I see a member logged into public chat for several minutes without ever speaking/tipping, that's not gonna give me a good first impression about him. I know some people say they're shy, or that they're not very good with conversation, but if that's the case, still...why not just log out and watch as a guest? And I would think that if you really want to get a feel for a model, you'd do that by at least telling her 'hi' or something and seeing how she interacts with you. *shrugs shoulders*
On the other hand, there have been times when a long-time lurker has surprised me one day and tipped. There's an MFC member who used to visit me on SM and MFC and never say a word (I think I've booted/blocked him once or twice too), and then about a month ago he gave me a small tip. Weird...lol.

I agree here. It does kinda bug me when a guy sits there and says nothing for awhile, but I never kick them out. 70% of the time they're just getting a feel for me to see if they like me and then they take me private.

I personally feel that shy men should not get laid especially in real life.

I actually had great traffic on SM last night and few privates.
Unfortunately my computer froze during one of them and fucked everything up and I lost my dog last night so not in any mood to get on today.

So, almost one month into working on SM, today my pretty standart i3 desktop (even though new) burned down - like, LITERALLY burned down - while using the encoder. I completely panicked, because it couldn't possibly have come at a worse time; I'm starting to do very, very good on SM. I cried a lot. I talked with my parents for a long time. They agreed to give me a loan, so tomorrow I'm going to go get an i7 laptop. Honestly, it's money that I HARDLY have that I'm going to spend, and I'd have to work extra-hard so I could pay my parents the money every single month, but I believe it's going to be a good investment.
Still pissed off, though. :(

This is tooooootally off-topic, but omg... Rosemary, I wish I was you right now. <3
I'm having a horribly difficult shark week this week, and on top of that I just realized I have like one week to get all my rent in and more for stupid bills, but I'm all ... periodical and sharky right now... and every time I log into to SM to not-even-work, I see your glowing happy face and want to be you instead. D:
You should have your own TV show just about how epic you are, so I can weep into my ice cream with admiration.
I'm sorry that I lick your bum so much, but you have an amazing bum so..
[EDIT] - Oh god now I feel like a freaaaak for spilling this here but I can't delete it in case it's already been seen and I'll be even more ashamed when someone will be all like "heh heh heh I saw what you wroooooote even though you deleted bhahaha I KNOW YOUR SECRET".

holidays are a beast.
Yesterday was awesome during the day as I stated ....before the sun went down.
Today a lot of ppl had to go back to work with hangovers or they are still sleeping. I find the day AFTER a holiday is always the worse. Just my observation.
A lot of ppl book homes on the holidays for a week so usually Friday is the last day and they are traveling back home. Then we have the ppl booking homes at the beach on the weekend so they are traveling to their destination. This is a week where ppl get the whole week off or the weekend after. They choose to do so bc the day 4th fell on.
Then we have customers who don't give a shit about the 4th bc it is not a holiday in other countries. WE STILL HAVE THESE CUSTOMERS! :)
I think Canada had their Holiday this week as well? .... so its a double whammy
BUT you guys would be amazed how many customers are not US based. Models are logging on today thinking yesterday would've been slow and customers would be off work spending $$$$ BUT a lot of ppl had to work today esp if they are not the CEO of the company ;)
All around it is a hit/miss situation
Fallenangel2904

Marina's right, its not you its them! I bet when you look at your earnings they weren't charged, just 30 sec room Hoppers hoping to get a free glimpse of something. Happens all the time to me and pisses me off cos I have to move my whole computer back to stand up and they go then I have to reposition it again! Grrrrr
I try to highlight their name quickly so I can add a note and ban them next time, I also take longer to actually move now before the 30 seconds has passed.
