I would just be persistent in asking support to give you five stars if for 90+ days all you have had is five
One person wouldn't update my tags/comments then I asked again the next week and whoever got that message, did it
Edit: sorry. scrap that. I just read this again... Is it that you were told you need ratings in the first thirty days or in (at least) thirty of the 90 day period?
I aim for at least one rating a day I'm on and of course ask those I've bonded with most/or who are most happy and grateful before they log off

Been logged in for the last hour and I hear one beep for when they come in but on that one beep they have already logged off? No second beep for logging off?
example
beggard1000 has logged on
beggard1000 has logged off
I don't even get to say hello

If it's an immediate log in and log out, it's that they're being immediately kicked out of your room. It usually means that their internet isn't strong enough to load your feed, they're getting a black screen or the wheel of doom, and then the system kicks them out. If it's happening to every single customer, it's probably you. Restart your modem.

I was so bummed the other day, a guy came in and left immediately before I could tell him how awesome I thought his CarlosDanger name was. But then the convo with the guy already in the room turned to politics and he thought I as all intelligent and shit and took me for a show. :)

Its not every guy. Im getting a few shows. But it seems to have in bunches. Like 7 or more come into the room and are Poof in a second. But one or two stick around. Weird.

even so it would be a good idea to check ur tech. check ur cammodels link and see if ur feed is clear if it is it could still be ur tech u may have a fuck ton of lag (low ram) and they leave because they think ur ignoring them. when u see them come and go they may not have been in there as short as u think because of ur comps delay reacting to things and having it pop up on ur screen even if a few are staying their internet may be good enuf to outweigh urs and get in. i would suggest rebooting ur comp and router unplug it reboot when windows is done fully loading power in ur router in again

The phone users, especially the ones using 3G or 4G are frequently unable to get the feed to load, meaning they get kicked out as soon as they enter. But if it's batches of customers all at once, and then a few guys stick around, and then a bunch of them don't.... AND it's actually an immediate thing (like you said, you only hear one sound upon exit), then it's probably a site glitch. Try cleaning everything up anyway. Clear history/cache/cookies, sign out, sign back in (after restarting modem). I'm not having this issue lately, but oftentimes I notice that the "glitches" occur in batches. At the very least, I stop streaming & start again. That sometimes seems to fix the issue.

wanted to add on to this everytime i reconnect with the encoder i close it down and load it up again. i dunno if it can help fix issues/ prevent them or its a OCD thing with me lol.

Hey y'all, quick question. My check didn't arrive this week and I'm assuming it got lost in the mail. I've e-mailed support twice and have heard nothing. Can someone tell me what happen
s in the case of a lost check? I'm assuming they'll cut me a new one right? How long do they generally take on that?

Once mine didn't come for like 2 weeks.. After 1.5 weeks I asked them to reissue it an pretty much got the voided one right after lol
It costs $20 to have it reissued and they will cut and send the check when they cut and send the next weeks.
So for me they just combined the check I was suppose to get and the voided one.

Yikes, I just did a show and under my earnings report it says I made $22.05. Under the guy's user name, then "sessions", it has the correct amount of $31.79. I emailed support, glad I noticed it wasn't what it should be.

I'm was in a hurry while working and did the math wrong, the amount I actually earned was correct. But, the $31 under his profile was wrong, and on top of that it shows he spent an additional $14, for a session that somehow ended at the same time as the one we actually did. So I hope he didn't get overcharged.

I particularly like when SM runs out of ideas to blame you for problems when contacting model support they completely stop replying to ur emails. (sarcastic post if u havent noticed) :P
I emailed them about the tv broadcast error message, which i posted in this thread a couple days ago - and they replied: need to use hd encoder, with recommended settings (I do, duh, ive done tv broadcasts already and havent changed my settings), have a good connection/pc (I DO, ive done tv broadcasts already, several times i said this) and the third response was oh, yea right you need to allow free chat (I DO that also, havent changed my settings) So hmm, what is it? They don't know, so they don't reply anymore....WTF

Yep! I am dealing with that with the whole 'why do I only have 4-1/2 stars thing'. After I asked them to clarify that you go default to 4 stars after not getting a rating for 30 days I never heard a peep from them again. LOL!

I've always wondered how favorites relate to # of actual customers... a lot of the time I'll get more favorites than people who actually talk to me or act interested in a show? It'd be interesting if we could see who's favorited us. NGL, if we could see them and could message custies before they message us I'd probably strike up a marketing campaign. Why wait for customers when you can go to them? /sales brain

I think that would be a good idea. But only if they added you to their favorites first. Follow up emails teasing and enticing them to come back could work. Being able to email random members from your chat room could go haywire. Spam galore.

How much would you girls charge for a vanilla masturbation vid?
At this time, yes!
The price is really up to you. Some ladies sell their videos for mere cents a pop, others for 10$+. This my own opinion, so take it with a grain of sugar, but I base my amount on what I consider to be quality. I used to sell recorded gold shows where I did zero interaction so it flowed like an actual video and not a show. Then I started to get a little more involved in my gold shows so I decreased the price from 10$ a pop to a tiered price (with the cost of ALL videos being the least expensive option). The price would go up if the quality were to change, and reasonably down as well.
So, for example, if I were to do a vanilla fingering video as a non recorded gold show I would want 10$/5min vid (which for me is 3.5$ in my pocket...woo!). I have HD, great lighting, experience, good camera-men-ship and editing skills, and I don't put a whole lot of pressure on myself to sell vids since my main focus is live shows anyway. Now add toys and other things and you've got a stew going!...and a little higher priced video, lol!
temptingmodel
09-17-2013, 09:31 AM
I mainly sell mine for gold show buy ins.. get a free vid :D and I do not go out of my way. They get a pre recorded show of a previous gold show.
For a single vid I charge 50. They do not dictate what goes in it.
For a single vid w requests I charge 100 simply bc Im doing what they ask
pics are 100 EACH gold esp fan signs.
With that said it is up to the individual model. I much prefer they buy LIVE SHOW. Customers have told me Im high priced for vids, IDGAF, Im a camgirl not a vid girl.
I will get responses like "other girls charge...." , "this site must suck for you" (obv it does not suck if Im telling someone 100 gold for a pic w/out blinking a eye) The customers will always try to get a model to lower prices by saying stupid shit that has nothing to do with you such as comparing prices to another models.
Not one model is the same :D that is my excuse and Im sticking to it.
I do this to keep them from asking for clips/pics also have a fan club on SM they can join for all the vids and pics they want.

I'm not sure about the matching but I will say that placement may be jacked up currently. I am normally a first page girl and yesterday whenever I checked my placement I was on page 7. Not sure why this is as I have not changed anything . Maybe your placement is off now too. Sorry :(

Oh look, SM support emailed me back....
Everyone is a 4 when they start out, or if you have not received at least 5 ratings over a period of 90 days or more-- until you have a total of 5 paid ratings within 90 days, which then shows an average. The average looks at the last 90 days. We encourage performers to ask members to rate them while in paid chat.
The average will display as a 4 star until you've reached the minimum number of ratings, which is 5 within a 90 day time frame. So, once you get a few more ratings your average will go back up.Everyone is a 4 when they start out, or if you have not received at least 5 ratings over a period of 90 days or more-- until you have a total of 5 paid ratings within 90 days, which then shows an average.

That COMPLETELY answers my question about if you don't get a rating in the first 30 days if you default back to 4 stars since that is the question I emailed them.
