Privates are groups, right? or premium you mean? Sorry, I get confused on the terms used here.
Are you saying 60% of your "private chats" come from exclusive?

Oh, so she's saying 40% of her income from SM comes from premium and exclusives?
Then I wonder what makes up the 60% for her.

I average in at pvts at about 40%. I don't mind since I make good $$$. I honestly don't care if the number is below 50%.
she means her daily time in paid chat % a combo of pvt or exclusive

Yeah I've been playing with my header to try to draw more people in. I think my complaining helped things because I got a few privates, and was able to fund my first gold show attempt on my first try :)
Grats!! Do you have a static pic yet? That helps as well. Put your name on it too, makes you look more profesh. Actually, zoom around the front page, see what pics catch your eye, make you wanna click. Use them for inspiration. I find face helps a lot.

I have had that happen many times. Many of them don't even know exclusive exists until after they take someone private first.
I get so tired of explaining this to new guys on a regular basis; I need to have it as a saved message. Wish SM would either do away with this precaution, explain it to the customers or at least clue the models in on what they have to spend first and the rationale behind it (I know, a girl can dream). A lot of guys get disappointed, so if I could tell them what they need to do or how much they need to spend, I feel like I could retain their interest, you know?

In this thread somewhere it is explained that they can tip you $5 first to go exclusive if they haven't been in private yet. I can't attest to that, but it has been mentioned.

Looks like more performers online on site or they just are not taken pvt so they sit in freechat or gold show count downs making the number bigger, i see new faces, more porn stars, my placement tanked, room is dead, no pvt's, looks like political situation in US scares people from spending?! This week started very bad for me :(

does every sm model have a page on all the sm dating sites? i know a lot of front page girls do - they get them daily in there room - ppl pretending to be them and shit and giving the dudes links to her sm room and im normally middle of page 2 and ive never had that happen to me .

socialsex isn't the only one. when I created a members account on sm for verifications I used my guy's name and cc and our shared email account. A day or two later he gets a email confirmation to a dating site, 'city'-something. I was all....uhhh, wtf until I checked out the dating site and recognized a chica profiled there. She's a member here and at the time used the same avatar here as she did on her sm pic. I also noticed the confirmation email used the same screen name and p/w I had used to create the sm members account. I'm sure some guys who sign up end up having some tense convos with their so's. :D I wasn't familiar at all with sm at the time, if it wasn't for the fact that I recognized a chica from here and actually went to sm to compare profiles no way would I have known it was a 'dating cams' thing.
I still have quite a few regulars who met me on the first cam site I worked, and had come to the site through the dating link webcams.com used at the time. Not discounting the annoyance of dating/cam ads and constant requests for meets, just saying that the traffic isn't totally a lost cause.

Weird as shit error? Y'all know when you're about to stream in HD you get that pop up with the URL and the other thing and you copy paste then you hit start on the encoder? In the middle of a goddamn gs countdown, I got that pop up, one almost identical to it I didn't think I could repaste without closing my stream so I ignored. It booted me. Anyone have this happen to them???
Second question, the numbers next to the guys' names? What is the exact system they use? Roughly 1 means they've given anything (from as little as 1 gold), and 3 means they're my big spendings, and 2 is in the middle...but what does it all mean? And does it go higher than 3? It's weird because 1 looks gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze, but 3 is the best...? What the fuck streamate.
Sorry if this is disjointed, just logged off and head is dead.

I agree with you but this traffic is pretty bad. Not sure if they are just from dating sites, but almost all of the performers are being hit hard by it. It's non converting traffic and they seem to feel entitled to free shows more than normal. I honestly have never seen traffic this terrible ever. They really need to fix it and buy quality traffic again. Unhappy cam performers will just stop working on their site and go work on another site.

Yup some shady biz going down. They have another site called eroticmatch dot net If you are not careful with the second email sent out to you will be enrolled in a dating site. I was told its something you have to opt out of otherwise you get charged $19.95 a month to be signed up when you click on a link. Very misleading.

Hi Ladies!
I'm new here. I've been reading and lurking for a while though :-) I just got accepted for Streamate last week. I didn't realize I would be accepted so soon, and I'm wishing I had waited because I won't be able to get on cam until next week, and I just read that your new model status starts from when you activated your acct. not when you begin streaming like on MFC. Oh well, not much I can do now, hopefully it's not that big of a deal :-)
I had a brief stint on MFC in 2011/2012 but I stopped camming when one of my close friends told a bunch of people and I didn't feel comfortable with that many people knowing my cam name and potentially being able to use it against me. I had a lot of fun on MFC, and was just starting to get the hang of the camscore thing, but alas, my safety was more important.
So, I've decided to start fresh with a new name and new site. The more I read about streamate, the more I think that it might be even better for me than MFC. The one thing that worries me is all of this encoder, techie stuff. I'm just not that tech savvy, and it seems that your quality matters so much more on SM. I'm learning a lot here though, and I thank you guys for that. :-)
I wanted to share an embarrassing moment with you guys, because I'm sure that you have all had your own camgirl-related mishaps and can appreciate. I ordered some stuff off of Amazon the other day. Specifically a silicone dildo, a butt plug and a rubber paddle. I guess I wasn't paying close attention when I chose the shipping information, because I accidentally shipped it to my old address, 2,000 miles away from where I currently live. This place is now my rental property, with tenants in it, who don't speak english. I didn't realize that I had made the mistake until the day when the 1st package (they shipped in 3 separate shipments) was to arrive and I tracked it. Even worse, my mom was there that day to let a repairman in for me b/c the heat had broken, so she saw the package was for me and asked me about it. She said she would take it with her and send it to me, but she's old and crazy and she forgot it, so it's still there! I had to call amazon and have an uncomfortable conversation with the customer service representative and see if I could get the other 2 packages that had not been delivered returned or rerouted. The customer service rep. said she would as she giggled slightly, but attempted to remain professional (she was actually very nice). So now I have to wait and see if the Post Office actually gets the message to return the packages that haven't been delivered and figure out a way to retrieve the one that has already been delivered. I'm laughing about it, because what else can I do, but I feel like a total fool!!

Two of the redirects for that site is http://www.localbabeloud.com/, http://dietcrash.com/.
They seem to have been doing a big TV commercial push - I know on Comedy Central I regularly see ads for "Weare18.com" (aka, Streamate) quite a bit

I'm not a fan of the dating-site traffic, it's kind of annoying really but at least it's not hard to get around. Just telling these VERY confused guys that I don't control where I am advertised and that I only put on cam shows seems to work for me. I've had zero problems since adopting this so I'm really hoping it can help other people out, too!
I hope this kind of advertising fizzles out. We all want people who WANT cam shows because that's what we do! I ain't sellin no beef burrito at my pizza joint, and the poor guys get frustrated when they're told there is a burrito when there is no burrito. THE BURRITO IS A LIE.
Ugh. Oh well. It's not a huge deal and easy to get around I suppose. The best I can do is be a decent human being and lay out the truth-carpet for all to strut upon.

I feel dumb, but I must be the only one not getting hit with this dating site shit, beyond guys that come in and are like, Mark/22/Las Vegas or something. What kinds of things are guys saying/doing in y'alls rooms? So curious. I feel like I'm left out of the annoying party, like when I was in middle school and all my friends liked Clay Aiken and I thought he was dumb but pretended to agree so we'd have stuff to talk about in gym class.

I had a guy take me pvt, stay for 10 minutes and rate me 4 stars. When I was trying to figure out who it was that gave me the 4 stars I clicked "sessions" beside his name and saw that somehow he had rated me 4 stars when he gave me 1 gold before our show and 4 stars when he gave me 1 gold after the show. Like. Who does that? Only one rating shows up per customer but why do you feel the need to send me 1 gold specifically so you can rate me 4 stars THREE TIMES. I sent a message to him atf saying basically that only one rating registers but if I saw him in my room again he would receive an instant ban due to his desire to rate me poorly more than once and have two of those times be specifically doing something ONLY to rate me.
WHO DOES THAT? What is wrong with these guys sometimes?? If you don't like the show then don't rate. The only time that I have accepted a low rating was a time that I thought that I had a bot in my room and proceeded to go about my business ignoring him thinking that no one was there. As it turns out he was just an idiot who didn't know what the fuck was going on. I deserved that 1 :P

It's a lot of, "you said you wanted to meet and fuck me!" because of those little chat popups on sites that are like, "hi, I'm x, let's fuck!" and the non-computer savvy people get lured into it. Then I have to explain how it's just an advertisement and how I apologize for the misleading because I only do cam shows. For the most part the fellas are actually pretty cool about it!

I LOVE the dating site route.... so easy to handle as long as you know how to handle yourself. To them its real, we know what it really is.
a really good key is for SM to inform us how we are marketed. This way we are prepped for these questions.
I wondered why I was suddenly getting guys from a specific state and it stuck in the back of my mind that JANE has mentioned this so I play with it.

I don't mean to scare you but it is possible. Like Jane I've had that glitch before (for me it was a 3ish minute delay in the video so when I went back to free chat it was broadcasting what I was doing a few minutes prior.) But with a dick name like CamAdvisor he was probably messing with you.
