They just leave after I say hi to them.


theyre just browsing then must be a slow night and the guys are being picky if they started talking to u and then just left that would be different
as far as the gold show thing i dont know i personally dont like them if thats ur hustle and all u do is GS's ud make more going on CB or MFC and get paid 50% instead of 35% from SM but thats just IMO.

I would prefer to do one on one fetish. I try to get a feel for what people are interested in whether that be gold shows or privates. People who can't afford eight dollars a minute like my gold shows so I try to milk everyone equally.

Hi girls!!!! Streamate this last week has been horrible for my,only guys who wanted to see without paying, and private two minutes long or even thirty seconds!

There was a nice client came to me every day for two weeks, and never gave me even a gold, and told me tomorrow I'll take a long private ...but he never do.And yesterday he come to my room 5 times and dont say hello only watch normally i banned directly costumer like this,so yesterday i was blocked....
And he send me this totally incredible message what kind of crazy there on webcams :


sorry u thought u had to do that. ur lost not mine, i was just lookin for friendly people to chat with to spend my money not with the ones just want money, first thing out of their mouth. i understand they are trying to make a living and i am not knocking anyone. to some its more than looking at a woman and jerking off. good luck, but a beauty as yourself shouldn't need luck :)

Yes, when I was dancing in the club I had this regular and every so often he would come in, get very angry at me and tell me I had to meet him outside of the club. The owner of the club explained to me that this man (who he had known for years) was out of money on those days. But when a customer acts this way you may want to ban him for a while, then maybe let him come back and see how he acts.

camming has good days and bad days it was a troll-tastic day yesterday for you it was shitty all over i guess life traveler reported the same thing she had a revolving door in her chat room last night . i work in the mornings i start at 7 am my time and stop around 2-3 in the afternoon. my day was good got my daily goal short by 3$ before it got slow and i went to bed for the day . thats why i like mornings i find u dont get the overly horny/bored late night owls insomnia guys. u probably just got hit hard with the american after club crowd and it was more obnoxious normal. tomorrow is a better day =)

Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is bad. Personally I would never ask a customer if he wanted to go private, as a stripper I had to in order to earn a living but as a cam girl it doesn't work this way (in my experience). It is better to appear aloof or too good for them, unless you are trying to do a gold show. But I never ask for privates. Like someone else suggested here if a guy says, "I really want to [insert whatever] you BB." I will say, "Ummm... I want you to [insert whatever here] me and then I will [Insert whatever here] you in our exclusive session together cause I want to make you cum BB." Or something like that. The important part is in bold. Maybe I should leave off the part about making him cum because that might make him cum in the free chat.

honestly yeah because he had a two in front of his name and its not like he was trying to downplay what u do . i would have just told him ur a fulltime camgirl and it more then pays the bills and u enjoy what u do . some guys are just ignorant and dont know but i think if we teach them it will help spread the word around the other guys this is our JOB and they may start having more respect for us and what we do and maybe make it easier for them to tip or go pvt once they understand this is our livey hood. he was probably just trying to get to know the 'real you' since hes already paid into u a bit and no clue why u banned him and what he did wrong

If it felt right, then it wasn't wrong. Plus you can always unban him later and when he asks you about it just say 'I dislike personal questions' or something like that and then don't justify any more than that.

(P.S. I ban and unban people with 2 and 3 by their name all the time. I find it keeps them on their toes and stops them from taking me for granted. ;) )

but i think if we teach them it will help spread the word around the other guys this is our JOB and they may start having more respect for us and what we do and maybe make it easier for them to tip or go pvt once they understand this is our livey hood

I personally rather not have the guys know that this is our job. That is like a magician going on stage and saying 'Hey, I spent years learning how to do this trick so you better appreciate it!' or a musician going on stage and bitching out everyone who pirated their music. In my world, freeloaders will always be freeloaders and guys who pay will always pay. I don't want to piss off the guys who pay by always trying to educate the freeloaders who will probably never pay anyway.

It's the number of times they've taken you to a private session. :)

It's the amount they've spent, not the number of times. They must spent $5 GOLD to get a number ever. It goes from 1-5, but the highest I have is a 4, and only have one of those. I'm curious to know how much a guy spends to get a 5.

I don't know exactly but it has to do with how much money they have spent on you.

And I just banned another 2 because he told me, "I would love to see you without your wig on." I will unban him but I am going to see if I can train him. I wear a wig not because I like to switch up my look but rather because I am incognito.

It can't be the number of privates or exclusives they have done with you. It has to do with the amount of money they have spent on you because otherwise I would have 100s but I think my highest number so far is a 4.

i see ur point but it is possible for them to pay and not understand this is a full time gig for many of us - like in life traveler girls situation. nothing wrong with shooting off a one line remark when asked tho something like "o this is my job sweety i make more then u obvi think doing this it gets the bills paid and then some!" if thats not how u cam then our hustles are just different and well agree to disagree . id like to have my custies think im living a glamorous porn star life of sorts swimming in my money =) .

I figure on a Saturday you can go early or late because you don't have to worry about whether or not all the people with money to spend are at work or not.

They just leave after I say hi to them.


Right now I am doing something I never do, I am looking at other models. I don't have a customer account and I can't see how much they charge per minute. Do I have to have a customer account to see how much they charge?

Someone told me if I charged less I would clean up. I was charging a dollar a minute for my gold show, for seven minutes ($7). His suggestion to lower my price seemed like an insult to me so I went to Streamate dot com and I looked at the number one model and she was charging half as much, $4 for eight minutes. And she said (like I often do) that she would do the show no matter what. So if she had one customer in her gold show she would make a dollar and thirty cents for eight minutes of rated xxx entertainment. Plus getting ready for work, doing her makeup (etc.). What do you think? What do you think the average cam girl should charge for a minute of gold show time?

The first girl on the site is the girl doing the TV show. She will start the show and make the goal no matter what because the $$ is guaranteed regardless of how much of the goal she gets. By agreeing to do the broadcast she is agreeing to do the show. While I only ever do goldshows by myself for 5$ (for 6 or 7 min) the producers often put it at 4$ for 8 min (though certain ones know that I like 5$ and will stick it at 5).

However, I'm going to fit in a couple of hours daytime from now on. my custies always find me. Oh, P.S~ I forced myself to wake up to get that 'after club, 'no nookie, no cookie crowd last night'. 1 prvt. in 3 hours!!! The rest were strange requests like peeing, pooping, incest, etc. Snowy, You've been in my room, and know in The daytime, I'm in back-to back prvts. good luck though. maybe you will have a better experience than I did.

and new ones too!! Like, camming outside your usual hours you might get more trolls for a day or so but you also get new guys who you would never have gotten before.

The first girl on the site is the girl doing the TV show. She will start the show and make the goal no matter what because the $$ is guaranteed regardless of how much of the goal she gets. By agreeing to do the broadcast she is agreeing to do the show. While I only ever do goldshows by myself for 5$ (for 6 or 7 min) the producers often put it at 4$ for 8 min (though certain ones know that I like 5$ and will stick it at 5).

Are you doing the television thing also? I know absolutely nothing about it. Can I do it, can anyone do it assuming they are able to do gold shows? Thank you for your post.

This is absolutely true and something I have been thinking about a lot lately (because I am trying to save up for a trip to Europe). And I am trying to make the absolute most of my time. So on week days I try to work when most people are home from their jobs. On the weekends it doesn't matter as much to me as far as I can tell.

I just worked today (Saturday) from two in the morning till one in the afternoon and I managed to break two hundred dollars. If it is uncool to mention that I will edit my post to remove it. I don't want anyone to feel badly about what they made. We all have good days and bad days no matter what time of the day we work and I am sure that there are plenty of girls who would laugh at me and tell me to get a different kind of job, one that does not rely on being sexy or attractive and one that involves a lot of heavy lifting and fork lifts.

u have to opt in for it and u have to be in party chat. ive gotten a few pop ups saying im ineligible for tv gs because im not in party chat. im assuming thats because a producer tried to offer me one and couldnt because im not in party chat (i always go in w/ classic chat mode because i dont want guys judging my popularity/worth etc in party chat ). but i really dont like GS's in general enuf to go thru the trouble of logging out and comming back in with party mode (because of the encoder and stuff) just to see if they would give it another go and try to send the request thru again

no its fine to mention ur earnings like that its not like ur trying to brag and rub it in ppls faces ur just stating facts IMO if ppl do get jealous then they just need to step up their game and put on their big girl panties and take that hate and use it as motivation instead !

I used to feel exactly the same way about Party Chat because I was so worried that someone would say something awful about me and then all the other guys in the chat would pick up on it and it would generate some kind of mob style abuse.

What I learned is that guys are usually too busy jerking off to read what the other guys say, remember they might be paying eight dollars a minute for this so the aren't going to invest a lot of time in customer commentary. I also started asking customers if they saw what so and so said or if they could even see so and so in the chatroom and the answer I most often got back was no.

And my whole life has been about overcoming my fears so that is just something I have grown to desire to do. Sometimes you gotta take a risk to reap a reward and one good rule of thumb is, "Don't sweat the small shit, it's all small shit." Or something close to that. What I have come to realize in this life is that the only thing that matters is your relationship with your friends and your loved ones. What happens at Streamate doesn't matter as long as it does not affect your friends or loved ones.

yeah I do them and generally like them. The guys that you get can be rude though sometimes and will request more stupid shit of you than normal. I mostly ignore them.

there's a few things to keep in mind with the tv shows though:
- I think that they average the amount that you normally charge for your goldshows
- if you don't make your goal consistently, they will lower the goal that you are given

I really love some of the producers (there's four that I like and am friendly with). I recommend trying to "befriend" them or at least give them something to remember you by. One of them raised my goal permanently and often they cheer me on. Also, based on what you said, it's totally possible that it was me who was doing that GS. I'm more than certain that yesterday I said not only that it was a confirmed show (which I normally DO say because sometimes they don't want to pledge if you're not getting close to the goal) but that I would be happy to do the show for the 4 people who had pledged at that point.

if you have more questions feel free to either PM me or private chat with me :)

I have been trying to learn this lesson as well, the quote I currently have taped on my work desk to remind myself says, "The key to achieving the big things is not to be distracted by the small things."

IKR everytime i get that ineligible pop up for being in classic chat when a producer trys to give me a TV GS i think to myself "hello i'm a bbw - why r u trying to put my fat ass on tv? ull probably end up having to pay the whole fucking thing urslef why would u wanna do that?"

(i always go in w/ classic chat mode because i dont want guys judging my popularity/worth etc in party chat ).

I haven't slept in a long time O_o ... So I didn't think to mention this ...

I have had plenty of guys say absolutely awful things about me in gold shows and in free chat (party chat). Specifically things that play on my insecurities (which makes them awful to me). None of the other guys have ever picked it up and run with it. It has always been just the one person and I have gotten good at banning people fairly quickly and I think they got rid of that thing where you click on a name and it jumps to the top of the list? Either that or I just got used to it?

I'd recommend checking out other girls / their tv show countdowns and goals assigned to them before you make that decision. Also opting in is something that you can do and they can decide on their own. If you were to do a few and didn't make the goal a number of times they would just stop giving you the requests so no harm done aside from maybe getting the option.

I think that you girls are being a bit negative on yourselves. Giving them the option of giving them to you and the option of making for sure money even once or twice only / having the exposure of them seems more worth it than to think that there's no way that you'll ever get one or make the goal. Doesn't hurt to try!

how do u even know its a tv gs vs a regular gs just from watching it in free chat?

luscious sadie
11-02-2013, 03:11 PM
tv goldshow has the very first spot on the site and therefore huge publicity builder. I'm normally top two or three rows but instead of like ~30 guys in my room for my own gs I'll get up to 100 during peak tv gs times. You also have guys at home who might become a reg after seeing you doing the gs.

the best indicator if you're not sure is if there's no music playing. You're not allowed to play music during the tv broadcasts.

Ummmm, helloooo your a big beautiful women, why wouldn't guys wanna pay double to see your sexy fat ass on their TV screens?
If you told us the day and time of the gold show I sure as hell would throw in some gold. so far me and streamate are behind you, now go log in to party chat and go get the rest.

I am not enabled for tv because I do geo blocking, but it's my understanding that it's based on your gold show average? I took a year off right after the tv introduction. Is this still the case? I only ask because some who are being contacted may want to think again before jumping in. How do they caculate your gold show average if you don't offer them? Or you've only done a handful? Wouldn't it be better for you to try gs on your own and build your average before entering into an agreement?

im kind of wondering this too when i first got them i did one 20 gold show with a 3$ buy in then i did 2 sleep shows and got like 10$ between them both and havent done then since i would hate to be offered a gold show that low ...

luscious sadie
11-02-2013, 04:19 PM
yeah I dunno how that works... I would try it out. I think that the lowest that they give is like 50$ minimum goal. I also have geoblocking and you can still do them just know that anyone who has SMTV can see them and you're not geoblocked for the tv (possibly the countdown either... dunno)

11-02-2013, 04:41 PM
Im not interested in them, just wanted to throw it out there. Maybe hold off on it until you can get a higher amount. At least that's what I would do if I were inclined to go that route. I would get my gs game up to maximize on the amount of money that I would receive. It would suck to get the lowest amount and then have to "prove" yourself all over again for the producers. I know everyone wants to make money, just think about it carefully.

Can anyone help me with some tech issues?

My feed on SM is so incredibly laggy nowadays. I'm using some new encoder settings (thank you Vlodina!) that only require 256 kbps of bandwidth. I'm supposedly at about 750 kbps upload speed at the moment (according to the speakeasy.net speed test) so it should be fine, right? Nope. The lag is awful.

I've never paid much attention to this before so I'm not sure if it's relevant but while I was streaming I was checking my computer performance and under Wi-Fi it said I was sending only 18-73 kbps? Is that why it's so laggy? I don't have any other apps open that would affect my upload speed so I'm wondering why I'm apparently only putting out 18-73 kbps when various speed tests say my upload speed is 750 kb-1 mb per second. Has anyone experienced this?

u have a logitec camera right? if so theres a certain way to program ur settings and make ur feed better it helped me be able to use sm on this computer when before it was so bad and chopping it looked like an old still frame movie
