Here are some questions to European models registered independently:
1) Does SM offer payment via Payoneer?
2) How much does a bank transfer from them cost?
3) Does SM transfer the money automatically every week or you can chose to send it like twice or once a month to save on transfers?
4) How is the company name displayed in your account statement?
yes, they do offer Payoneer and it is the only option i've used so far. Didn't have any problem with it

So is it normal to get a long private where the person doesn't talk at all? He talked at first, and someone else joined the private right away and only stayed a few minutes. He only talked the first few minutes. I tried both saying and typing interactive phrases and questions but nothing. The show went 1 hour and 20 minutes before my internet took a crap on me and disconnected. I could only wonder how long this customer would have stayed. I made way over my goal after that show and was exhausted from trying to figure out how to entertain what seemed like a wall for 80 minutes. So is this normal? he left no rating. Is it possible that he just left the show running and didn't mean to? and if that's the case will I get a charge back? I wan't to be happy I got a long private but the stress of a charge back is kind of putting a delay in that.

I always get paranoid when guys stay for longer than 15 - 20 minutes without typing, no cam2cam, not answering. Sadly, I've found 3 of those shows in a pirate site.

u can either do it in ur profile settings or u have to email support but im 75% sure its something u can do in ur profile urself
I must be blind cause I don't see it.....hopefully they dont give me a hard time about changing my email cause I can't log into my old email account at all.

So... who else here wishes that the SM c2c countdown would automatically deny the request instead of automatically accepting it?
C2C is driving me crazy lately. It's in my headline "C2C IN EXCLUSIVE ONLY!!!!"- takes me private, does c2c, turns on sound, everrrryyyone else can here him fappin' it. :(
Can't you refuse the request? It would always make me accept their cam first. Or do you mean if you don't decide it accepts it after a minute or something?

I know what she means. I only do c2c in exclusive too and it would be easier to let it count down and automatically deny the request than to have to stop what you are doing so you can click the deny button. Because even if you deny it and tell them they have to go exclusive for c2c they just keep requesting it. Causing you to repeatedly stop your show to click deny 3 or 4 times.

I had a drunk custie fall asleep in Excl. He stayed there until his daily limit ran off. The next day, he came back and apologized for probably making me feel awkward))).
Haha oh wow, insanely jealous right now.
Closest I've had was a guy who didn't understand how SM worked and didn't speak much English. After he said he had to go i waited... and waited... then said he REALLY had to go... so I waited... Eventually he figured it out after 15 or so minutes.
I felt kind of bad, he was super generous, but not bad enough.

Reminds me, a guy wanted to go exclusive right after a gold show so I could watch him jerk off. He goes private instead and I was about to be pissed because I don't do c2c in private, but then I remembered I just jacked my private rates higher than exclusive. So I let him stay in and c2c with a few others who flooded in. He thinks he's getting a deal? Hahahahahah sure, go ahead bro.

Except for the times when there are other people in the show that end up leaving because you keep stopping.

Normally no one ever says anything unpleasant to me but tonight I had someone named Markuslund come into my chat and say, "Get real pig." I assume it is because he can't afford me. It seems like more guys than normal have been complaining about my eight dollars a minute but I did get a guy for a half hour tonight so money speak louder.

I had the same this week awfully low traffic in my room it was soooo gutting but I guess if it's like that focus on something else you can use later keep it moving keep it moving
Right now I'm looking at best way to record while broadcasting so while it's quiet I can do fetish and humiliation stuff in the camera, and just edit it when I log off #scrapingbarrels. I worked it out but still trying to retain the qualitaaaay
A second laptop would up the game considerably at times like that
That said I would just like better traffic so I don't have to multi task... ! Pretty sure my placement is shitty !!

Don't even type the word "Skype" into SM or you will get suspended. If you want to try to pursue it covertly that's up to you. But if the guy tipped you $80 before asking if you'd do Skype with him, consider it a gift. Too presumptuous.

Who is "her"? You mean that he told you he's e-mailed many girls & they've given him their Skype name? I'm not sure I understand. If he's telling you that, he's probably just trying to persuade you. Kind of like "All the cool kids are doing it." If you don't want to, tell him no & ask him not to bring it up again because you could get in trouble.

I have been around since the dawn of time..LOL.. its humorous to me that they try so hard on an old hat.

how do u tell ur overall paid time in pvt percent that they use to calculate ur placement or do they use the current percentage for the week ur in at that moment?
Angelfaced
09-13-2013, 01:36 PM
i think it has to do with ratings becuase sometimes my percentage is aweful but im still rocking first row, but ive been doing this for like 2 years so i dunno.

09-13-2013, 02:05 PM
I'm not sure if the following is right or will help any one but it is a theory I have just discovered :)
I check my placement regularly and over the past few weeks have been happy to find myself slap bang in the middle of the front page! However my traffic has been appalling, sometimes I even have an empty room :O I put this down to maybe being the time of day I cam not being totally in sync with the randy guys in the US.
My BF has an account on SM but he just uses it to check my feed from time to time, usually he tells me my feed is good. We were chatting this evening and I told him the above, now this is where it get's interesting ;). Apparentley sometimes when he logs on he will get a pop up telling him they (SM) are testing his speed then the site opens to the front page, except none of the big hitters are there, it is all girls he has never seen before and some he would never be interested in, oh and although he has obviously favourited me I am not there!
So here's my theory:
After complaints and realising that not everybody, custies included, had the equipment/broadband required to run the new widescreen settings SM have now got a programme that can some how match clients with girls that have similar equipment/BB :D
Now I don't even know if this is possible so would be intrested in hearing the opinions of others, especially those ladies that are technically minded.
Just to clarify, no I have not got the top of the range computer and being in the UK neither is my BB too hot, so my theory would explain why despite my positioning I have very poor traffic.

I hear ya Jac ;) Only yesterday I had a guy ask if I wanted to earn some gold, no shit sherlock lol, he then went on to say he had 300 gold and if I did what he said I could have it, needless to say the first thing he wanted was me topless in free chat, ok no problem as soon as I see the 300 I'll get them out, oh no tits first then gold! Seriously do these guys really think we are that dumb?? Like you I have been around long enough to know how it works, still gives me a smile especially when the ban hammer crashes down lol.

Hey Miss D
I'm UK and feel a real shift in traffic too... Usually I can guarantee a fabulous earning even with my least traffic - nothing ever to sniff at, at least - but something seemed different this week in particular. I thought maybe it was even just me and my patience wasn't as strong ! Whole thing felt like something to sniff at for a hot minute !
I do know I get a lot better earnings when I wake up at unsociable hours, also I know my regularity online has taken a beating lately and I'm doing more Gold shows than privates/exclusives lately... So I need to eliminate that ish first before I can be sure of a technical change to the extent you suggest... I've got the top Internet speeds we can get in UK, or so I thought, so I'm sincerely hoping your theory is wrong ! ha
I'm out of net until next week which prob won't help either ; ) but will see what it's like with a fresh mind and regular routine and report back after I'm back on
Hope it picks up for everyone !

I am SO FUCKING MAD right now.
I was in exclusive and the custie had me watching a video with him.
He signed out, I moved the cam up and got sent back to free chat.
He was pretty cool but left without a word (which seemed weird for him) so I checked my cammodels link while I got started in free chat again.
Then I heard this moaning sound... oh, right, my cammodels link... I go to that tab and see myself stark naked fingering myself with porn playing in the background. In free chat.
What the everloving FUCK?
To lighten the mood: one of the guys that came in complained that the image was frozen. Lmao, sorry you only got to see a still picture of me naked in free chat, I guess?

Same here, freeloaders being rude because I won't stand up, guys trying to scam me for free fashion shows, guys looking for girlfriends and sending me their phone numbers and photos of themselves in the mirror. I wonder if Streamate promotes the "dating site" ads heavily on Fridays or something. It's been a long day on Streamate. This is my worst earning day yet.

Seriously getting annoyed with whoever the fuck answers streamate model support emails...
I started getting pop up messages on my sm account saying im "not eligible for TV broadcasts because im not using the hd encoder with the recommended settings"
Confused because, one, I have never once NOT used the encoder and 2, i download their recommended settings straight from their site and use everytime I start up the encoder. LOL. So....I email support. Of course "I" need to have this this this and that to run in HD - blah blah. and to have goldshow enabled. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Its like they dont even read their emails. I HAVE GOLD SHOW ENABLED, IVE DONE TV BROADCASTS ALREADY - i havent changed a FREAKIN thing before I started getting the popups.
UGHHHHHHHHHHH ARRGH /rant

I'm getting so sick of SM promoting us as a free adult site. I wrote on another thread, that recently a friend sent me a pic of a tube site where he clicked on "dating" and there I was...me along with some other SM girls. Our profile pics, with the caption "meet me" underneath them.

all are sm affiliates *shrugs shoulders* and not in a bad way, of course they want to bring customers in and its all in the name, its up to the model to get pissed or make money.
IMO its about money, the point of the game, I assume? Works for me..
i mustve fucked the links... sorry ,but, those r some links , to the average man, would appear free, real girlfriend, mate....
I wonder how many lonely women are in this world and what links attract them?

I have watched MODELS not the SITE ..
give out numbers
a bunch of free nudity, i watched one girl hitachi herself to the side so they cant see but easily get off
I dont blame the avg man for asking, check out the links I posted before and great explanation of why they would ask.

Can someone please explain how some girls have music playing in their chatrooms? I see this with quite a few European girls where there is high quality music playing for their audio. But I know it's not a radio in the room because there lips are moving like they are having a conversation with someone off cam but all I hear is the music?

You can choose separate sources for your audio & video. Maybe somehow they're overriding the cam audio for a computer playing music or something.

For some strange reason my average has been stuck at 4-1/2 stars for the last long while. I have had nothing but 5 star ratings for the last 90+ days so I finally got off my ass and emailed support to get them to look into what is going on since the average of 5 plus a bunch of 5s is....well, 5 stars.
After waiting a couple of days for a response. This is the response I received....
"Everyone is a 4 when they start out - until they have a total of 5 paid. Which then show an average. The average looks at the last 90 days. We encourage performers to ask members to rate them - in guest and in paid.
The average will display as a 4 star until you've reached the minimum number of ratings, which is 5. It does not need to be achieved in the first 2 weeks - but the sooner you get them, the better for sure."
-----
O.O
Um, yes. I know all of this. I have 8 ratings. Each of them are 5s. It would be why I emailed them in the first place. This still does not answer why I am still at 4-1/2 stars.
justanothercamgirl
09-14-2013, 10:05 PM
So, they emailed me back again. They told me since I didn't get a rating in 30 of the 90 days that it defaulted back to 4.
If you don't get a rating in the first 30 days and the default you back to 4 then why the hell do they keep going on about the 90 day thing? If they will default you back to 4 in the first 30 days (which is the first I've ever heard of this) then it really isn't an average of 90 days is it.
Am I missing something? O.O

@justanothercamgirl: I didn't work on sm for more then 30 days ( so no ratings at all ) and i'm still 5 stars. And that has happened more then once.
