Hello, girls. I am new to web modeling. I was trying to work on MFC but it doesnt work for me. I cant ger people into my room. I just don' t understand why. I set up topics for topless and fully nud. I don't want to do cum shows in public but i don't mind being naked on public. But nothing happens. Is there a chance that stramate will be better for me? What do girls do on public chat there? Is nudity and masturbating allowed there? Do girls get tips and how much is a tip? Are there any girls who didn't make anything on MFC but suceedes on streamate?

Hey lil_smiley, you should spend some time reading all the stickied threads and more on the forum, and I think you'll get a general feel for most of the questions you have, and probably a few you didn't have.
I myself do not prefer MFC, I just like the atmosphere of streamate more. Streamate free chat is free chat, with no nudity allowed (except topless I believe). IMO, though, you should charge a 'tip to see ____' fee if you are going to show any nudity in free chat at all. They can and will pay it. You are not allowed to be fully nude or masturbate. You get 35% of all shows and tips (which are called Gold). I'm sure there are plenty of girls who didn't do well on MFC and do well on Streamate, but I'm sure there are probably a lot of the reverse, as well.
Hope this helps.

Thank you. I'veen reading forums for about 2 weeks now. I've been on MFC3 times. But i feel so stupid as there are only freeloadres in my room. Thats why i am thinking about streamate as they have to pay for shows there.

Fuck, first time back on SM in almost a year ... yesterday was just fine, better than I expected. Tonight, it wouldn't show the HD icon next to my name at all even though I was using the encoder. Anyone else experiencing this problem tonight or was it just me? ... frustrating.
Ah, I found out the problem. I feel like a newbie ... ugh.

I'm thinking of giving SM one more try before my daily pay account gets deactivated (it should still be active). I'm gonna charge what I feel like charging for private chat and exclusive chat (probably use toys in exclusive chat only though). I don't want to do GOLD shows, and any guy who complains about my private and exclusive chat rates will just have to get over it...lol.
MFC has been so disappointing lately, and it pisses me off how people sit around twiddling their thumbs, waiting for my regulars to do all the tipping for topless/naked countdowns...smh.

I don't know about anyone else, but every time I've tried geo block, my traffic plummets and getting privates is like pulling teeth. Maybe it's because I'm on the 1st page and my guys cant see me if logged out so they think I'm not on. O well, back to disabling.

and now I ask questions that have been asked a thousand times:
I'm on payoneer for SM, but when I asked them to remove the pay delay, they said it wasn't possible. I've been working for about two weeks there now. ¿AHORA ESTA MI DINERO?
Gold shows: I've got 5 stars, it's been 2 Thursdays, and I use the encoder and party chat. ¿Donde esta mi oro?

I've been wondering about getting Gold shows enabled too. I've been on for about 2 1/2 weeks with 5 stars but I assume its going to take more work than that.

Hmm, do you use sound? Is your placement decent? ... I was only on SM for a week when they enabled gold shows for me.

wow I totally bombed trying gold shows tonight. I didn't make my goal at all. I started at $150 and ended up trying to make a measly $60 and just a few pledges each time. I had a few guys that stuck around and kept on pledging but obviously it wasn't enough. I wonder if its because I don't use toys or do anal and the guys are looking for something more hardcore. Total waste of a night :(

OMFG....it's so slooooowwww on SM right now I want to blow my brains out! LOL....no not really but I just cancelled 3 gold shows and one guy asked me would I please decrease the pledge amount from 3 to 2 bucks! Nothing today for me except freeloaders. Think I'll take a little break & log back in later....fingers crossed. Tuesday night and Wednesday daytime was slammin', now it's downright pitiful

I understand completely. I've been having a hard time all week, and it's making me so sad :'( Maybe it's because it's the beginning of the month and Labor Day holiday coming up.
Edit: Things have totally started to pick up for me. I just have to remind myself that in this biz (any biz really) there will be days where I make little to nothing, then others where I can't get a break because guys are taking me private left and right. It's easy to get down when times get tough, but it gets better sooner or later.

I have never not used geo-block. It's like my little safety blanket lol. I am not willing to take the risk of being seen by anyone I know who happens to be creeping Streamate without an account, plus I don't want to be used in adds.. Oh, and I also believe it keeps jealous models at bay, lol. In regards to traffic though, since I've never not used geo block, I don't really have a comparison, but I still seem to have good traffic consistently. Usually about 10-25 members in the room with no goldshow countdown, and then about 30-70 when the goldshow is on. Depending on how I am hustling the particular show there can be more though.... I had 110+ members in my room at one point last night which is the most I have had in there to date... so yeah. You can definitely still get good traffic while using geoblock! ;D
Obviously there are slow nights as well, but that's bound to happen geo-blocked or not.

Gold shows. What's the point? Since nudity isn't allowed in free chat due to minors that could access the site, why then are women doing nude things in free chat for gold? Isn't the point for a whole bunch of people to give a little gold, to get a show at an individually lesser price than a one on one show because they all pitch into "the pot". So isn't the contributions supposed to be for the show AFTER the goal is reached? Why show during the count down? I want to be able to use gold shows at some point, in case I ever come up with an idea for one, but I won't be showing anything in free chat to get gold. So at that point, does anyone even get gold if they do it that way?

It all depends on what works for YOU. It also really depends what works that particular night. Also, SM's policy states that no below-the-belt nudity is allowed in free chat, not just no nudity in general.
Sometimes I flash my tits for tips during gold show countdowns, sometimes I don't. I always thank each guy by name and blow him a kiss (unless we're onto the "later" phase of the countdown in which case I am doing er... other things that "distracts" my attention). I usually at some point (if the countdown is feeling a little too dry for my liking long before the half-way time is reached), I will say something like " more guys and I take my bra off!"
During the last minute, if I feel I [I]really want / need to step shit up, I will also throw out a "5 more tips to get me NAKED!" - (no pussy in free chat of course! That is always covered), but this can work absolute wonders for me.
If I have almost reached, or actually reached my goal before the countdown has ended, I will usually always strip down to nothing and give the impression I am already pounding my pussy because it can string guys by their dicks into my GOLD show if they're seeing something they like already.
Some girls may watch me doing this and think.. meh, whatever.. but it's my shtick, and if it was against the rules and didn't bring the ££££ in, there is no way I'd be doing it.
To the discerning camgirl, things like this act as incentives for guys to tip - it gives them extra reason to tip, and stay in the room (and be my hustling targets) - and we are going to do whatever makes us the best money. Some girls like them, some girls don't. You absolutely don't have to do it. But for me, I kind of need to do them at times because just sitting there has just never seen me hit any targets.
On the other hand, I have seen one particular girl simply masturbating her naked pussy in free chat during gold show countdowns and looking confused as fuck as to why she isn't getting any tips (because she's just showing everything in free chat, no tipping incentives there, no reading her audience and fine-tuning her hustle based on their responses) - oh, and then starting her show at like $20 or some shit... So yeah, if you are actually talking about girls who show everything in free chat, pussy included, that's against the rules and you could report them.

So I closed my old streamate account and started a new one in order to set up dailypay. I worked some tonight and realized by percentage cut was slightly lower. On my old account it was 33% and now I am receiving 30% for every dollar earned. Am I missing something? I left for about a week and perhaps I wasnt informed about this. Is this just me because Im starting over and I have to work my way up? And its not a big deal but it can slightly add up. If they decide to cut another 2% thats 5% all together and youre slowly losing money. Im guessing it has something to do with me joining via the dailypay website? I also see how alot of girls say 35% for their cut and I never received that. i always assumed the 33 was rounded up. Ive contacted support and am now waiting for an answer... But do you all know anything?

*sigh of relief*. Ok thanks lol. I didnt know DP would be so quick to deduct the money from what Ive earned. I thought it would be another extra process where I had to allow them to take the money out. Idk.. but thanks. Thats good though. Just be quick and get it over with, it would of been painful to literally watch them take the extra out before my eyes. Im just glad it isnt SM trying to play me.

I just figured out what is going on with chat lately. SM is making it easier for freeloaders and silent lurkers.
Ever notice people chatting to you but you can't see them in your chat room?
It's the eye.
I think the tv guest show up in the free chat box.....I have noticed that the guys in the free chat area have been talking more and asking questions more along the lines of members not just freeloaders

SM kicked me off a week or so ago for showing a video feed (i wasn't!) and now won't respond to my emails at all. I got my money from them no prob, but I'm wondering how I can re-apply to them when they already have all my details? I hardly ever cammed on there anyway, but it's nice to have as a back up. PJ? Anyone? x

Sorry hun, but I am pretty you can only sign up under a studio in your country. :( I am sure sure if other cam sites have the same requirement. Maybe look into daily pay with Princess Jenny? She only takes 5% I believe.

I've never banked with TD, but Canadian banks are mostly carbon copies of one another as far as basic transactions are concerned lol. I always cash or deposit those bad boys at RBC and they always show in my account the same day BUT I always cash/deposit them at a teller. If I deposit it with an ABM I have to guess at what it's worth in Canadian dollars and then they correct it and sent me a letter, which I don't like.

Yeah, I was thinking about switching to checks on SM, so I asked them about it. They said that even taken to the teller it would be held. So, I figured, the way I have things set up now is just fine.
