For those of you who don't do penetration shows, what exactly do you do during your show? I know lots of guys have requests, but I have gotten a few guys who tell me to just do my thing. I usually use toys because I am afraid they will be dissapointed.

This question is for the SM site only...i've been on Streamate now for about 3 years and just was curious as to other hustles. I've been watching other hustles for awhile now and tipping my favorite models =D But, I noticed that girls that offer sound and are chatty in there free chat tend to not be in private as much compared to girls that sit there and type or just say a little bit in free chat. Most of these girls that do a little in free chat do talk in paid chat. These girls that type or talk just a little bit smile at the camera and are getting privates back to back. I wonder if this is a better hustle than being too chatty or even talking at all in free chat? Maybe just putting in the topic...will talk in private or exclusive only (get the full effect) lol! I tested this...which i'm great at holding conversations etc but it seemed like when I talked too much in the free chat...I just get guys who sit there and want to talk for free. Then even when I offer a little conversation...they still want to talk for free. When I just have music playing and type a little bit or say yes or no or want to play with a smile or a little tease...then as soon as they go private I turn the sound on and were good...i'm just wondering if any of you other girls have tried these different hustles and what were your results?

Not sure if you mean you usually use dildos but want to quit doing penetration or if you use non-penetration toys like vibes? But either way I've never used toys, simply because I don't have any. I usually end up penetrating with my fingers at some point but I also strip slowwwwly, ask questions, show them different positions in different states of undress, spank, do close ups, rub/squeeze/caress my body, rub my pussy, play with my hair, talk about my favorite body parts, dirty talk or roleplay if that's their thing, if on c2c talk about their dick or muscles or w/e. Spank some more haha.
About half the time I "finger" myself I'm faking it by curling my fingers against my palm, but that only works in certain positions.

So I just had to make a new stripperweb account because for some reason I can't remember my old one. but anyways!
I haven't cammed in a LONG time. Was planning to start again, the last time I cammed was July 11 and even then I go through phases where I don't want to do a show, so I had just let them tip me gold that night. It was only like 36-40$. However I had my fed ex payment option on so $200 the minimum (was planning to cam more the following week to pay for fall tuition) so i had thought it would just roll over. I haven't cammed since then and was planning to start tonight, but when going back through my earnings saw all my gold was gone! WTH! there is no way this was a confusion or mistake on my part, I remember even who it was tipping me. Already emailed support, but I really hope they don't email back saying its not true.
Any advice what else to do? Honestly if they say there wasn't any gold, I would leave sm for being that sneaky. Ive only ever cammed with them and always thought they were the more reliable cam sites but this is some shady s*** >:[

Have you made sure that you looked at the correct dates? Streamate only shows the earnings for that day so you have to manually search for the last time you were online to see the earnings.

*Update on my Stolen Streamate Check*
Turns out Streamate mailed my check to another performer who deposited it to his or her account.
As of this moment I am still out of a week's pay however I am working with the bank where my check was deposited to recover my money.
Haven't heard back from Streamate on this. The bank where the other performer deposited my check told me they are going to send me a check for the amount of my lost paycheck.

Also, what is up with the phone feature? Or maybe it's just me ... lol. I tried to put my phone number in weeks ago and everytime I enable it and someone calls, it doesn't ring. It will show them calling on the screen, but my phone won't ring at all. Maybe I should call my company (T-Mobile) and make sure they aren't blocking the call, as someone mentioned this earlier in the thread.
That was probably me. I am waiting for someone to try and call me. At one point when I tried calling the number myself I got a message saying that T-Mobile was blocking it. But now when I try to call it my call goes through. I doubt it will ever be fixed. I have had problems with the Streamate phone system since I started working for Streamate (sorry if that sounds negative). O_o

Hey ladies, i need ur input pls: regarding phone option on site, i have a good regular member who tried for the 1st time saturday nite to call me via site phone system, nothing happened on my end, not sure what he was doing there but my phone did not rang, i remember i read here some time ago that might happen when the call do not go thru the user is getting a message from let's say my phone company in let's say my native language that i am not available or so?
like for example i try to call somebody on mobile and they have no connection/ network available or phone is off and i get the automatic message from the phone company to try later, etc? is this kind of message ever heard by members when trying to call us thru the site? (when we set up mobile or land line number to be called on)
i fear this guy heard something when tried to call me!!??, he left w.o saying anything anymore, he knows i am in another country, he is my best spender, i dont want him to know where i really am
pls enlighten me if u have the infoes, thank you!

I have the same issue, and yes, support said surely my provier blocks the call, but I constantly receive international calls on this number (i'm not in US) and there's no issue with any of them. So there must be an issue with them.

Hey ladies! I ran a few searches and didn't see an answer to this anywhere. When I click a customer's name, their profile pops up with tabs saying "general", "notes", "sessions", and "report". Can they read the notes that I add? I was using them to keep track of what we did in a private, and their preferences, then I panicked thinking maybe they could see them!
Thanks!

^^Sillycamgirl, only You can read the notes you've made. But just a little p.s. on this subject. it will also tell you what date they bought a show-I have noticed that when I mention to those that enter my free chat that it's been a while since we went prvt., and I tell them the exact date, if and don't remember the show, they usually leave. Just in my experience

Story Time!
Backstory: My bf is a chef, and knows what I do for a living. I won't tell him what site I work on, because we're in that super healthy on again/off again bullshit, and I just know he'd be the kind of guy to lurk in my room when we're fighting, so he could see happy, smiling Grace instead of bitchfacegrace(tm) that he totally deserves.
Dude logs into my room: with the user name chefxx. I'm instantly suspicious, but I'm not going to chase away what very well may be a paying cutie. So I start talking to him, and he says he just graduated from culinary school, and we chat about technical culinary bullshit for a while. At this point I'm super suspicious, but not sure, so I go, "I'm having such a great time with you, we should have some sexy fun together in exclusive so I can see you while we chat".
He buys a 15 minute block, and turns his cam on. Luckily it was just some dude, who happened to be a newbie chef, and was super sweet, and not my soon-to-be-murdered-so-hard-in-the-face-for-trolling boyfriend.
That was followed by a dom wanting me to give her sub instructions on eating her shit (nothnx), and a 15 block with one of my regs.
I swear that when I log into SM, I hear the clown car song these days (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjedLeVGcfE).

Less talk definitely!..
I used to talk a ton.. took me a good while to train myself not to talk much, and like you I watch other girls to see their style as well and what works.. Definitely works better with a lil smile , spamming your room with what you will or won't do and keep constantly reminding them to spend money on them.. Immediately when a guy talks to me in free chat I ask how he is doing then ask what he is into, that lets them know right then and there I mean business. Don't argue with them either about why you ask for a tip to stand up or whatever. Just say it and ignore ... they either tip or they cry about it and move on.. Sometimes hard to bite my tongue cuz I want to tell them all to go to hell..lol.. but in private I do talk as much as possible cuz they are paying me and then I get naked or play when requested. You are NOT interested in free chatting free loaders but appear to be super nice and sweet.

Lots of girls complain about how on SM, if someone leaves your chatroom you can't block him after they leave.
However, if they have EVER sent you a message you can block them from messages! Open up the message and click "block" at the top. Then go to "my users" --> "my blacklist" --> and then check the box "block from chat" to block them from chat as well!!! GOOD TIP!

Uhmmm...does she 'honestly' not realize that by mentioning you, she is probably sending more business your way? How else would they do the comparison but to watch you both? Idiot!

When did Tuesdays on SM turn into go fetch items for free day? Most of the time when people have asked me they go private, but today I logged off with a bunch of crap on my bed that never got used. I keep my stuff close by so I haven't been charging to get items, but now I am annoyed that I have to clean it all up for no good reason. Ugh I'm charging gold for that from now on.
Yesterday was awesome though, I even got to break out an ace bandage to wrap my ankle at the end of a long show. LOL, sure! I think it's a little swollen, too, bb!

hi i started SM today and i have a few questions:
1. On the top of my screen i keep seeing 3 2 1 streaming ...does that mean that my steaming gets cut off in the middle and starts back again?
2. I keep seeing names in my room they just pop in and then disappear instantly not even saying hi...my room is empty i had the max 6 guys in it ...mostly there is no one and i see those names come up and boom they are gone ...is that something that happens to everyone?
3. i couldnt get the encoder to work who can help me with that ?
Thank you guys ...

08-13-2013, 02:18 PM
^^^^^^
1. it is taking pics of you while streaming , you can write support and ask for a "static pic"
2. that is 100% beyond normal, guys come and go , not everyone online has money, they use the free chat side. Eventually you will become accustom to it
3. How are you not getting it to work?
Do not tap "connect" , scroll down after you pasted you codes and there will be a green button. Tap the green START button on the encoder.
The last question is wide open bc there could be different reasons it is not working , usually this is the common reason

I don't know if you've ever watched a video of your show, but watching mine was a huge help to me. It helped me realize that undressing quickly and inserting a dildo was about the least sexy thing I've ever seen. I use a vibe and a toy if I'm doing a cum show, because that's how I get off. If I'm in missionary, my hand is covering everything anyway. The guys want to see anything sexy, really. Do a closeup of your junk. Show them all of your pretty curves. Dirty talk. Tease yourself. Go watch lots of porn for ideas. Most sites have categories dedicated to masturbation.
Thanks for the reply! I think I am def going to do some more porn research. I think half of my problem is that I dont find myself sexy and dont really know how to act sexy. Thanks again!
Thespark88

I always hit connect and then the start button on encoder. My encoder glitches alot.. Could the fact I hit both cause that?

08-14-2013, 09:50 AM
You should only be hitting "Start" on the encoder not "connect". I don't know if that's why you have glitches, but try only hitting "Start" and see what happens. When you're done streaming, hit "Stop" and then "disconnect."

Question ladies, this might be silly considering I think it rolls over but I didn't notice the GMT time on SM and I worked on Sunday (July 28-3rd) for like 30 min and made under my $100 payoneer goal. I then switched over to fedex for this week that Monday. My question is will my money from July 28-3rd be on this check? The reason I'm a wee bit paranoid is because I had another account with SM before I created this one and I canceled my account and never received my check. I've emailed them about it and still, nothing. That was back in December too.

I have the same problem! I don't know if this will help you, but what I do is I mimic what I think OTHER girls would do if they were trying to look sexy. Find yourself a 'sexy mentor' from either real life or in the movies and then try to imagine how they would act if they are on cam.
Does that make sense?

I am smiling, dressed up sexy, greeting every name i see in the room ...my face is hurting already lol...i am so ready to log out of it ...does it get better or is it going to be like that all the time. I say hi hi ,hi and some people dont even answer to me ...i changed my rates to 2.54 even nothing...please tell me is it me or everyone is slow? I am so ready to cry :(

08-14-2013, 11:06 AM
I am still kind of trying out streamate to see what works for me. I know that my cam is crappy, (saving to get a new one) and I only offer audio by request in private. For all that going on, I charge $2.29/ 3.49and I am still making an average newbie rate ($25/hr). So my prices are pretty fair right? I will for sure work on raising them when I get a better cam. I looked at my feed on cam models and it's so fuzzy that I am surprised people are going private. Hey, I am not gonna complain though.
kortneykay
08-14-2013, 11:12 AM
I think you guys should list your rates higher, at least $2.99-3.99 and up. I charge $5.99/7.99 and still get pvts/exl. If they want to see you they'll pay your rate bbs!

To echo the above statements from @Charizma and @Sparkly - I'm pretty much a newb on SM (primarily still working on MFC & MGF). I am wondering if I'm doing something wrong???
It was suggested that I would enjoy SM more than MFC. Hmmmm. My experience thus far has been dudes logging in and out off free chat within seconds. It kinda leaves me with that feeling of "Yeah, this chick is so not for me" just based on my appearance. I got like.....$7 of gold on my first night. Since then, nothing. I tend to spend little time on there since it seems unproductive.
I also try to say hi and think my rates are pretty reasonable for a newb (2.99/4.49). I'm unfortunately unable to use the HD Encoder on my macbook....my system isn't that old, but....apparently it actually is in the eyes of Adobe! I'd far prefer to use my webcam vs my iSight built in cam, but thus far have not found a way to change that (any suggestions on that would be great!).
I feel like I'm grasping at straws.
(gonna include my disclaimer: APOLOGIES if this was covered in the thread already. I have done several searches, believe me, and I never seem to find the right place to ask.)

08-14-2013, 12:41 PM
Raise your rates new ladies.. Like really.
I have an awesome irl friend who just started on SM. I advised she raise to like at least 4.99 per min.. I didn't want to ask her about her earnings, but she did drop to me that she ended up making like $100 from a few privates a couple nights back.
Oh, and she's been on cam like thrice... *shrug* I rest my case.

I have been playing with my rates all day so i am not allowed to raise them any more ...i am raising them first thing tomorrow ..how much did you raise them Melly ?
I decided to get things into my own hands and have been saying hello to every single name that pops up, have been acting very friendly calling their names out etc ...well it worked got some privates (wish my rates were higher ) still the room is empty but at least i engage the ones that pop in and i have had like 4 or 5 pvt (short ones) in less than an hour ....so its working now ...and people are complaining they get logged out and the connection is bad ....
@Melly if you want send me a private and we can share ideas :)

@charizma if people are complaining that the connection is bad then you need to work on your computer and connection. Think of your computer as a tool to get your job done. Your life line. It's got to be humming along like a finely tuned engine.
if that means you need to get a new computer just for work and keep your old one for porn and social stuff then do it. Cause its tough to make money if the connection is bad =( Sorry to hear that you're having problems.

08-14-2013, 03:49 PM
"logged out" it can't happen once they are logged on. that's not how web code works. Sometimes they will say one thing but it means another. They may mean they are getting disconnected from your room because you can't maintain a steady connection.
did you go through the sticky threads in this forum that tell you how to maintain your computer for camming?
Sparkly
08-14-2013, 04:33 PM
Should I still raise my rates even though my camera has snowy static? There is no way I can fix this, I just need a better cam with my next check. But, would guys still pay 2.99 for poor picture quality? It seems
they don't mind too much at 2.29.
