I don't think my post was clear. I'm not talking about the arrival of the check; I'm talking about the issuing of the check. The checks, when issued, are listed on your "Payment History" page. When they are issued late, they show up late on the history. There have been two times when they showed on the site late but were actually issued on time. Every other time they showed on the site late, they were actually issued late.
I'm not panicking or anything. I'm just trying to eliminate the possibility of a glitch on my page (which has happened in the past) and confirm my suspicion that they are indeed issuing checks a day late this week b/c of the US holiday.
If anyone could check their "Payment History" page and tell me the Date Issued of the latest check, I'd appreciate it. Mine currently says "Aug 29" even tho it should say "Sep 5". Thanks.

It hasn't shown up for me either on the Payment History page. I was just about to post about it here too, lol. I'm glad it's not just me. I guess it's just the holiday.

I had a guy tell me last night that he couldn't send GOLD... I logged off later, went perving some other girls and saw another guy say a similar thing to her - the tip button not working for him. Yeah I know it could be some bs, but out of curiosity has anyone else had this lately? If so, that is seriously bad, but at least then it would make me feel slightly better about doing so badly lately.

SM kicked me off a week or so ago for something i didn't do, and now they 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

That's what I'm trying to find out.
They accused me of showing a video feed which i wasn't. but no amount of explaining, begging, wheedling, or demanding has made a difference, they just won't listen to me. I'm not devastated or anything since it wasn't my main site and i hardly had any earnings on there, but it would be nice to sign up again to have as a back up... if it's possible?

Email from Xpeeps:
Hello, XXXXXXX.
The software that xPeeps has been running on since we launched beta has had too many technical issues. The 3rd party software vendor we were working with cannot get these problems resolved.
After much deliberation, we've decided it's time to let the current system go and switch xPeeps.com over to another system provided by Streamate.
As of Noon eastern standard time tomorrow, Friday, September 7th, the new Streamate version of the site will take over xPeeps.com.
If you are not already a model on Streamate's system, please set up your account through the "Become a Model" link at the bottom of the page which will be located on xPeeps.com after noon EST tomorrow.
Please also make sure that you get any contacts, emails, images, etc. copied off of the current xPeeps.com before we take the current site down completely.
Why such a drastic step?
We firmly believe our next generation cam site RealTouchInteractive.com is the future of all cams and proves this every day with its outrageous sales. We can't focus on improving RealTouchInteractive.com while also battling the persistent issues with the current xPeeps.com site.
What about Payouts?
We will send any remaining balance early next week.
Please contact us with any questions,
The Xpeeps Team
-------
Does anyone else take this to mean that Streamate will be taking over RealTouchInteractive? Innnnnteresting. What will Gold shows be like, if you can 'virtually service' 20 men at once?
This is so shockingly in line with what Hayden said in another thread about the future of camming.... wow. :-)

Well maybe not the place for this?... but here goes nothing LOL... yes I have been a dancer /stripper in the past ( I don't know the "politically correct term, just always said I was a stripper) I am just now signing up for streamate... of course I have 4000 questions & this site is AMAZINGLY HELPFULL with alot of my questions.... Ok so here is my question...do you think it would be helpful once I am no longer a guest to do a Blog on My trials & tribulations? ( already had uplaoding issues and appearantly I havent updated Java in years on ANY computer LOL). Just something simple... Ex: because until you have all your docs in you dont't know what or how the phone feature works unless you search this site ( yes I did my homework lol). Yay or Nay...

Helpful to the newbies to Streamte... most of my questions were not answerd on thier FAQ but on here... (yes I am a newbie to streamate, thats where the thought came from)

09-07-2012, 01:20 AM
How would the 'newbies to SM' ever find it? Why wouldn't they just come here, where they could get the perspective of hundreds of other camgirls, instead of just one?
I'm sorry to rain on your parade, babe, but I just don't think that blog-writing will give you any sort of return on your time investment.
(To clarify -- you ARE considering camming for the income-generating potential..... correct?)

Maybe I am a stickler...I hated not having a clue on functions etc.. every question i typed in google came back here...may have only answered 3/4 to 100% the question but was better than where I started...Since I can't blog yet I don't know if more expierenced could reply to a blog? ( i hope so).. Trust me I am not picking because I think it's the site for me...Just a basic trials & tribulations..like I said my upload failure was based on ME not updating java...seems simple, but I wasused to corporate computer use & never thought to update my home computers or laptops...
Little things like that or maybe bigger things from those who know more than me...

You could blog for the fun of it if you fancy, but honestly, unless you have REALLY good content that people want to read, and can eventually monetise the blog (no point unless there's tons of traffic to it everyday), then it's a bit pointless really. I don't know about you but I'd personally rather channel all my efforts into making money, so writing a blog is a waste of time, at this point anyway, because who is going to bother reading it? lol
LittleRedCam
09-07-2012, 02:32 AM
Yes they would come here( you are SUPER helpful)... like I said I dont know how blogs work here & hope more expeirenced could post to it...even if comments? I dont pretend to anything about anything at this point....I like the streamate forum/section I learned ALOT ( you may not think the first 30seconds of gold show was importantand but I do) Just trying to think of a newbie Steamate version...what is acceptable, how to work functions not in FAQ etc... Yes i plam on doing this for my income..awaiting approval... been in the adult industry befor...yes I need the income like everyone else here... just thinking for those who are real will find the blog? or does someone else have similar i couldnt find? Not looking to step on toes or give awy trade secrets... just how to explain the site functions not in FAQ in one place... Totally fine if someone who is expierenced wants to do it...was just throwing it out as an idea for people like me, so if i started now saying bio pics could take 10 days weeds out who thinks $ today etc...
Not looking for a return on my investment *blog only! LOL* just thought it would be nice...

sadly I am the newbie who would read it? I think you ALL have a lot to say and MAYBE the mom in me..but also for the FEW newbies who take it as a job! & not just the quick fix...Long term,,do what you wish/want them to give away in free?Or just realize they are selling themselves short & not making any friends/ technically coworkers? Trust me I am not saying to Sugarcoat ANYTHING! It's hard....I wasnt doing a blog for money etc..My shows are for money:) But I will say when I started dancing EVERY girl took me aside and gave thier advice-whether i wanted to hear it or not ( and the NOT stuff showed up faster than anything else) Just the streamate post is 30+ pages, newbie page had like 6 posts I THINK " dont quote me"... was trying to find a middle... not for profit etc...Just because you all have alot of knowledge to share...If i did a blog of my latest screw up you could tell me how NOT to screw it up next time...

There are already quite a few blogs out there like that. I agree with the above poster that it would be pretty pointless.
This industry changes, sometimes daily. It would be a never ending job to try to keep up. This board is the best place to go for information.

Is anyone else having a hard time? All week I can barely get guys to talk to me in Free Chat, and if they do, they want free stuff or to sit around "trying to get to know me". Other than that I'm just watching people enter and leave my room without speaking. I watched like 20 guys do this back to back at one point. I have like 4 guys in my room max at any given time.
I checked and I am showing up on the customers' end, not lagging or anything and my sound is working. To top it off, I'm always on the first page in the middle, even made it to row 2 earlier this week. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, and the dramatic slowing of my traffic is really starting to put a damper on my mood in Free Chat, which is making things even worse. I'm trying to be positive, but I feel like I'm going to crack soon.

Yes. Me. I checked the first page and saw almost everyone doing a gold show. So that means probably privates are not flowing as much. In this cheapness abundance guys get confused and don't know what to do, so they are shopping around: oh wait 5 gold for 5 minutes? , screw that, i saw one for 3 gold, for 30 minutes, and 10 videos to top it off, so i'll spend here now, then if i don't find another one for the cheapest it can be, i go bother the 5 dollar girl again to do it for 7 minutes, plus gimme some pictures for that too, and it has to be anal with big toys"
Oh and there's the one who wants private, but it's wondering why are you so much more expensive then the majority? NA he keeps wondering entering your chat several times a day, until he gives in out of curiosity, or he will not. But you don't have 24 hours a day to stay there for him a day, for him to make up his mind.

I see all of this, too. It sucks. I really hate those guys who come in multiple times and never speak. Or they come in once, sit there and won't speak even if you address them, then leave. I've also been seeing a lot of girls struggling to get gold show goals. Asking for 2 gold for 5 minutes (for example) there's 20+ guys in the room, and no one will chip in. Yet, they ask to see feet, stand up, turn around, do a little dance and show off for them only they feel you should do it for free. I feel like I'm ranting, but things have just been pissing me off lately.

What did I do one time, I answered the email saying that I cannot allow to get his contact info because it is against the SM's rules and I will get in trouble. So sorry.
BUT
i sent him to his email address from my email OFF SITE saying apologize I had to do that on SM because they do watch emails within SM very closely. I do not recommend this method, though. I did only once and I did not like the risky feeling. haha

Ok SM.....What the hell did I do to make you so mad and treat me like this????
I have been logged in a total of 40 minutes and this is what has happened to me so far.....
-I logged in to find my description, text colo/size, and gold show description/prices/buy in ALL CHANGED. The description was somethign I hve never typed in and my gold show was changed to $100 with a $2 buy in? Ummm wtf? Hell to the no. So I freak out then move on. I log innn
-I have invisible memeber and can not ready half of what otner guys are typing. I was watching myself from my custy account so I know this is real. PLUS I had a good reg in there typing to me but was not showing up on the list. ok whatever I ignore this and apologixe to everyne for not being able to read what they are writting
-I do one gold show and am now paid for at least 3 guys I KNOW wnere in my room. I took a screenshot of them in paid chat but not in the payout sheet for the GS.
-I did a second gold show for $200 and only reached $70 so I decuded to let it cancel, the gold show goes through anyway for some odd reason and starts on its ownm. On the top of the screen is LIVE! which doesnt look familiar to me.I thought maybe I got a TV show and the pop up didnt show up because of a glitch. Nope, the payout shows that I only made my cut for the $70.
All this happenmed in a matter of 40 minutes/ I logged off because I ad no idea wtf to think. I have never had this many issues at one time. These issue make it very hard to work. Small ones I understand but not this. I am not sure if someone hacked my account to change things or how gold shows start on their own or why I havent been paid for some guys. I will check again at the end of the night though. Maybe the payout is just a glitch but there are still other major issues not accounted for. I swear I dont know what SM thinks they're doing. The site WAS fine before they sought to make "improvements". Maybe its time to start building up my cam score on MFC =/

Payment for this week is still not showing up. This is kind of weird. I'm gonna wait until this afternoon before I e-mail the site.
Just to add to the "where is my payment" thing... I have noticed my payment history not showing my checks until Thursdays now, where as before they always showed on Wednesday. Upon emailing SM they told me that payments are "issued on Thursdays" which I found odd because in the past it has always been Wednesdays.
So I wouldn't be surprised if the norm now is to not see it being issued in payment history until Thursdays from now on.

And how much ahould I charge for like just strip tease or oil show or playing with toys? Please help me :)
