My day gets worse. There's this guy who comes in free chat sometimes and once tipped me 10G. He's most normally quiet and unobtrusive. I just got an email from him. He's obviously been googling me, which is fair enough, however:

Hello dear ... Sorry about the confusion with respect to private messages! My problem is with the Language, cause my English is very bad!
Well, as I said, I'm preparing a little present for you, a tribute!
I'm still doing, but you can already see how it's going to go, and tell me if you like!
I took the liberty to take some pictures of your site!
Hope you enjoy!
Kisses ... you're a sympathy!
Your gift: http://www..........
p.s. I´ll sent you a Skype request, on you....)

When this happened to me, I told the person that while I appreciate their efforts, the pictures I post on my site are MY pictures and not to be re-posted anywhere on the internet without my permission and I'd like them removed. It was effective in my case.
Edit to add: Actually, I once allowed the photos to stay up because it was good promotion. But I also told the person that from now on, he's to ask my permission first and to actually show me what the page looks like before it goes live.

what? he took pictures from your site to use elsewhere on the web as a 'gift' to you?
depending what he does with it...eg: if it's just a little promo page or something with links to YOUR site I'd ignore him and leave it up? If it's objectionable, DMCA his host (you can find that info in the whois for his domain). He has no right to use your pictures without your permission so you'd be totally within your rights to DMCA. Love the guys that think that 10 dollars makes them special ::)
wtf though, seriously. I'd be pissed too

Thank you girls!
I basically told him that I knew he's trying to be sweet, but it actually is making me very uncomfortable, and can he please delete it. He has removed the content and replaced it with "sorry dear", but the url is still there (it's a free wix site). And he's sent a couple of emails to my SM inbox (not referencing any external links now) apologising profusely. I blocked him from chat, and I don't see myself letting him back in. He just creeped me the hell out.

I think it will increase traffic. Brazzers puts their Streamate white label in their members area. So all their members will check out Streamate for live shows.
This kind of traffic is much better than ad traffic, tube traffic, and dating traffic. They are paying for porn already. So chances are pretty good they are going to spend more.
Oh ok, makes sense. Yes way better than dating site traffic! I am sick of getting asked what kind if food is my favorite! ;)

Forty dollars to have your check deposited? I hope you save that receipt for a tax deduction at the end of the year.
Just wanted to throw it out there that SM does not add the fees to receive your check to your 1099 at the end of the year. So you cannot deduct those fees because they are not being reported as part of your income.

Why pay $40?!!
Did you know you can get direct deposit right to your bank account through Payoneer for $3 now?
Mine shows up every Tuesday.
I'm trying to get this set up but so far no reply from Nissam via PM and no reply from Payoneer support :(
I already have the mastercard so... I don't know what to do in order to be able to do the direct deposit.

I emailed them at
[email protected] (This is the address I was given to contact by customer support) and they needed my routing # and acct #.
They will email you back and let you know which accounts you currently get through the Payoneer card and switch them all over at once. I was able to get all but two of my sites switched over.

I want to have my Payoneer switched to direct deposit too. I was told just to contact support and ask to have it switched. I still have money on my card though...im guessing I should withdraw it before switching just in case?

I deduct it with My CPA at the end of the year and each quarter when I pay business taxes. If you get a good CPA they can work it out. Honestly the 40 bucks ( 55 for Me as My bank charges as well) is worth the security of not having a 2-3K check in the mail in the middle of Las Vegas that may get lost, stolen or worse.
As for the 3 star rating Scottie, 5 5 stars cancels a lower rate but you can message support and they can sometimes have it removed.

The thing is tho.... SM is not reporting the fees to deliver the check as part of your income. At the end of the year the amount reported on your 1099 will equal the amount of all your actual checks paid to you... not including the $40 fee. So you actually can't legitimately deduct the fee because it's not being reported on your income to begin with.
Maybe you or your CPA were not aware it was not being included as your income on the 1099 of that so that's how they worked it out as a deduction? I keep track of everything and if you do the math on it, they aren't reporting that to you. I had originally assumed the same as you, that I would be deducting this as an expense, so I was surprised when I got my first 1099 from them and found out that they were not even reporting it as part of my income.
They are likely deducting it themselves as an expense, so that means it's being claimed as an expense twice if you are also deducting it.

It was like that this morning too. :(
The audio has also been way off-sync all day. Like, B-list movie overdubbing–you can say two whole sentences and but they're not audible till your mouth is closed. It looks creepy because you can't tell if it's what the model is saying or just said... if that makes any sense. It would not intice me to spend if I was a custie, that's fo sho.

That happened to a lot of us last night. I posted about that on Twitter and had a bunch of replies. It's super frustrating and I hope they fix it for good. Happens to me usually at least once a week. :(

Yay, they removed my first 1 star too. Good because over 6 min of pvts you're just taking advantage. Don't jerk off for 6+ min then rate someone a 1. A 1 is worth maybe a horrible 1-2 min private lol.

The 3 I got removed, he came in and showed me his dick, didn't say a word. Was I meant to get naked and fuck myself? Give him sph? Give him joi? Bloody men...
Ok. At least I know I'm not the only one. Yesterday was 3.27 in two hours. I know something isn't right because I know what my usual hourly is. Today isn't much better. It's pissing me off as I'm watching my percent drop for no good reason. And I had a guy in paid yesterday that wasn't anywhere near cumming and I got the connection lost pop up. Fuckity.

Does anyone know if TMobile PrePaid blocks the number that is used for Phone in exclusive chat? For about a month now whenever a customer tries to call me it rings for a tenth of a second and hangs up (every time). Or is this a problem with Streamate software?

Ok, I called TMobile PrePaid and they told me to try calling the Streamate number (1-866-941-3982) which Streamate initially provided me with (not TMobile).
When I tried calling it I got the message that TMobile PrePaid does not allow it's customers (me) access to this number, it has been blocked for like maybe two months now.
Can anyone tell me of any other options out there, I would like to keep the same mobile number (if possible) and I need a prepaid phone service that will allow me access to the Streamate call number.
Thanksss
Okay... Here is an Update O_O
Now when I call the number I am able to get through. Perhaps my customers will some day be able to do the same..

^^^ LOL I have this tag, and I always assumed it just meant that I made them cum a lot (I'm assuming it's short for erupting cum volcano)! I don't squirt, so I doubt that's what it means. :)
Also, WTF Streamate. Tonight was, hands down, the worst night I've had on the site. I'm at less than half my usual earnings/hour. Traffic was slow, just like it's been for the past ~3 weeks, and good lord it was like pulling teeth to get shows! I guess it can only go up from here! Too bad I've been telling myself that for weeks... *grumble grumble*

Basically that tag means a squirter or lots of creamy cum when you orgasm. Honestly it's a stupid tag as are most of them. I pay alot more attention to member comments as those guys actually had to buy shows to write something and rate me.
Thanks for the heads up. I save My receipts and bank statements so I use that for taxes and honestly the piece of mind that My funds are safely in My account is worth the 55 a week to Me. It also kinda makes me work harder ( ok I have to make 2060 this week better get online and work some hours)
I got two 3 stars removed last night. I never understand if you dislike a show so fucking much why stay just to rate low? Seriously one was a 12 minute JOI session ( which watching the footage of as I record some of My shows for content) was amazing the other was a premium with a regular of mine who just likes to bullshit guy came in for 10 minutes during that ( I was doing a block in premium with regular just joking around) and guy didn't say a word just watch our show together goofing off and left a low rate. Sometimes guys are just assholes, not everyone likes you to dildo yourself non-stop. On the happy note My regular left fun comments and a 5 star after so hey gotta love that not to mention: epicness TIME WARP NUDE!
Stay positive ladies the busy season is coming soon.

Oh and yes some companies block unknown or suspicious/spam like numbers so you might want to check with T-mobile. I know AT&T was when I first started because it was an 866 number that they thought was spam. I had to allow the number in My account settings online. You might want to call

What the heck...SM's cs is confusing me. I wrote them about raising my rates and they replied me asking what rates would I like....and I wrote them back telling them to raise them up to 9.99 so I can choose whatever I want without having to email them each time. And then I got an email saying that I can't change my rates, I have to stream for a few months and they "can look into raise them" - quoted them.
Seriously ? Why would I want to stream for a few months with some rates that don't represent me ??
This is annoying....is this normal ?? Did they ask u to stream for a few months before changing your rates?

Seems like free nude shows are all they want. Ask for a tip or to go private/exlcusive and get called horrible names. Then they leave before they can be blocked. Too bad you can't go back and block them :(

Sorry for your connection issues and your bad night, I can relate. It is interesting though... and I don't know what it is but guys never call me names or criticize me, the worst insult I have ever gotten on Streamate was from another camgirl, at least I think she is a camgirl, she said I was so old and ugly that no one would ever spend any money on me and that all she could do was laugh at me and how pathetic I am, I think her handle was moongirl or something similar. The worst thing any customer has ever said to me was saying to me, "$7.99 a minute, LOL." So I guess I am lucky, I did get the "Chubby but Cute" tag which I deleted and I mentioned in my chat to other customers that I had been tagged with it and they were like "WTF LOL, seriously?"

Is it possible to get removed negative comments by SM support? And what was the reason they removed them for you? Only if a guy only stayed for a min or two or also for a 5 min pvt? A comment from half a year ago just showed up on my profile. Guy rated me a 3 but left a neg comment, but because I don't have so many comments it bothers me..
