If performers weren't doing what they claimed, then I would consider it a con job. However many performers have posted screenshots of other performers doing full nudity in free chat, 10 minute shows for a dollar and other stuff. I haven't seen ad's for Streamate with dp video's but it's possible an affiliate may use them to promote the site.

I've been on there for almost six years. They know their ass isn't getting nudity from me at all in free chat. I don't do Gold shows either, I did a few but I like the private and exclusive shows better.




I think they tell you that in order to get you to take your clothes off in free chat, do one dollar gold shows and meet them for sex. I wouldn't take it as any sort of actual reality, consider it more of a con job.

If I had been sitting in free chat for an hour without making a penny I might do a $1 gold show, just to introduce new customers to my show but that gold show is only going to last about a minute. I'm certainly not going to get undressed in free chat and anyone who meets cam stalkers in real life, that's insane and bless their little hearts cause I hope they don't end up in a dumpster or floating around in big mason jars or as involuntary organ donors.

How do you people ever take 2-week or longer vacations without getting the room sink? I have 2 days off a week and every Monday I come back to find out my listing has dropped almost a page and all the hearts I earned the previous week are gone. It's almost like starting a new room every week, but without all the new girl perks. I feel like motherfucking Sisyphus. Good thing my week's earnings don't vanish lol.

I have never checked my placement on Streamate. I just do my best to offer fantastic service and keep my mind on the money. I don't think placement matters in every instance, not if people are searching for what you offer.

There is always the exception to the rule. Don't sweat the small stuff and exceptions are by definition small stuff.

Also Law of Attraction definitely applies here.

I'm going to log onto Streamate now, feel free to come join me. It's going to be great, no commute, no coworkers to deal with, no one breathing down my neck. I get to work from the comfort of my home and I can take a break anytime I want. If there is a better camsite or if you created one of your own then more power to you. But as far behind as I am I'm still way ahead of the game overall.

10 minute shows for a dollar and other stuff.

I am confused to why doing a 10 minute show for a dollar is a bad thing.

I agree. I guess I just attract weirdo's and it gets tiring.

Depends on how you look at it. I don't do Gold shows so I personally get tired of guys asking me to do a Gold show. I know a lot of performers that have been bitching about cheap Gold shows and how so many of the guys only want dirt cheap Gold shows now. I guess I could see doing a cheap Gold show occasionally to draw in new customers, but then I also understand how doing them all the time can make guys cheap. I also think sometimes people vent about Gold shows and other performers take it personally. I understand why a lot of performers are doing cheaper shows. They have bills to pay and do what they have to do to earn their cash. I do wish Streamate would require Gold to be at least a buck a minute, that seems fair to the performers and customers will still get a reasonable price for the shows.

For me personally, I have a hard time buying into the whole 'guys are taught to be cheap' thing. They may ask for stuff that is cheaper but that really doesn't affect my bottom line. When I do privates I charge one of the highest prices on SM and guys do pay it. I probably also have one of the lowest GS prices on the site too.

When I do $1 shows they are never sex shows. Just like ABigNerd everything I do as a camgirl is for a strategic business reason. When I do GS guys harass the fuck out of me to do sex shows for a $1 or to give out free videos or free pictures and it all falls on deaf ears.

The way I look at it, the excessive amount of knock-off Gucci purses that have been made still have never stopped Gucci itself from making money hand over fist on its designs. To me, camming kind of works that way too. As long as your have a great product (yourself) then it really doesn't matter what the other 'designers' out there are doing or how much they are selling their 'fashions' for.

1 gold for a 3-5 minute JOI nude tease with dirty talk (no penetration) probably isn't such a bad idea. Problem is getting enough gold to make it worth it. For me that would be making at least $1/minute minimum for the total time invested in the countdown and the show. You would think "how hard can it be to hit 50 gold for a show?" On some days, damn hard,

11-11-2013, 12:23 PM
Yeah. Last Tuesday I made a change from payonerr to check then 30 minutes later changed my mind and switched it back to payoneer. Maybe that's why? Thanks. Waiting to hear back from sm again.

im almost positive that its because the finance dept of sm needed time to go thru it and it messed everything up for u this week. change it back to payoneer if u didnt do so already chances are they paid u via payment u had setup before u made the switch over to payoneer

So I went on the site for an hour and it was FULL of beggars and assclowns. These assclowns were demanding stuff and I asked why, one answer is below. Then they went on and on about how so many of the girls on Streamate get naked in free chat, do $1 gold shows and escort. I am so over this site. I took two weeks off and I should have just not logged back in there. I love the people that work at Streamate, but the calibar of customers has went way down.

Fricko11: expecting is more accurate since the site promotes by showing sample vids of girls DP'ing

At least they talk to you. Most of my guys just sit there. I've never had a guy on that site tell me what other girls do? It's happened with phone sex callers but not cam. The climate has definitely changed on that site. I just like to dabble there from time to time. Maybe that's why I don't experience the "well so and so does this...." blah blah blah I try to only log onto SM when I don't give a fuck about money. As I typed that I thought to myself, pfft when is that exactly? I just can't under sell myself to make money. I just can't. It hurts my soul too much. So I keep my prices the same and never lower them. And only log in when I'm in an amazing mood. When that starts to falter I log off. I can't fake it. And I've never met a guy from any chat site in RL. I'd rather turn them into a skype customer instead.

I don't know to be honest. I know the site has changed a lot and I have no idea why. I don't know if it's from cheaper shows, allowing nudity in free chat, a different kind of traffic, to many performers, etc. Hell it's probably a mix of all of those.

That's why I don't like Gold shows for me. Guys act like they have never seen a girl before. Show me this and show me that and do this and do that. Then they ask for video's or picture sets and my first born kid all for five bucks. I respect performers that do Gold shows, it's a different kind of hustle for sure. I personally don't have the tolerance for it at all.

Have I told you I heart you recently? You are a smart business woman and you make your points in a clear, polite way.

They want me to do Gold shows, so they talk about the other performers that do them hoping I will change my mind. They will say so and so hit their $300 goal and you can too. I appreciate them asking but it just isn't something I am good at. I like small group shows or one on one shows. I don't have the kind of hustle it takes to do Gold shows and I am fine with that.

I feel that way too. I feel like if I have to lower prices then the site may not be best for me anymore. I go on there in a great mood and an hour later sometimes I am just annoyed as hell.

I am not going to say that there isn't something weird going on with Streamate. I completely agree with you that something odd is going on. The choices they have made to incorporate to their codebase alone have been very questionable.

The Streamate I worked two years ago is definitely different then the one that I am working today but I plan to continue to tweak my hustle until I can get every last dime out of that mofo site until it is time to move on to somewhere else.

I've always been annoying that way though. I am one of those freaks that will cut open a toothpaste tube to get the last of it out. ;D

Question for you: You know the preset keys on Streamate where I can press the number 1,2,3 etc at the top of the guest chat and it has a saved message? How do I change whats saved as the message? I cant figure it out for the life of me, anyone know?

Thanks!!!

what I do is to type new message in chat box and click save, it will pop up the listing of saved messages. from there, you can remove the messages by click X.

Do you lower your rates when your listing/rating/stats drops? My current placing is around the middle of the 2nd page (30 per page) , 5 stars, appr. 30% paid time. Will it be a good idea to lower my pvt rate to 2.49 for a while to get back on the page 1 (my current rate is 3.49)?

I did some math today after doing a rare gold show and I am only getting 31-32%. I messaged Streamate about this..?? Is this normal? I thought our payout was 35%.

I use voyeur gold shows to boost my paid time.
(Opps: I should of also added that I am usually between 2nd and 4th row these days on the 1st page.)

Thanks guy for the motivation . I have the encoder and I am staying on page one and two!! I log on and am already on page 2. I am loving watching my earnings increase I am more than halfway to my weekly goal and the week just started!! My question is-- is this little bit of fame and fortune only because I just got the encoder or did it stay the same for you girls? Did you get it and notice that at first it was great then kind of dwindled? I have slow periods still but my pvts and exlus are longer, I raised my rates and I am on the first page of like at least 6 categories I didn't check all of them. I really hope this lasts I work at least 9 hours a day 7 days a week and I really hope this keeps up I know I will have slow days but I don't see me making less than 70 dollars on my worst day. I hope you ladies have a little insight and are keeping your fame up there still long after the encoders first debut!!

I just got the encoder and my earnings have been on the rise. I don't see why they would drop suddenly. It's not like we get some sort of new girl with an encoder status lol. I'm still not making anywhere near what a lot of you girls are making but considering that I was going weeks only making $20 or $30, I am stupidly excited over my $50-$60 a night that I'm making now.

u go girl !! I know we don't have new girl status with it lol although that would rock but I thought maybe like an internal sm new encoder thing that sm does lol. I hope our earnings continue :) Good luck and 50 bucks is great considering you just started using it I am uber excited with my money I did ok without the encoder but more slow periods I am hoping the earnings do nothing but rise!!

I worked only one hour last week lol and did not make payout I was wondering if streamate always sends those earnings with the current check? Thanks

Procrasturbator
11-13-2013, 10:28 PM
^ It will be tacked onto your next payout. So for example if you made $10 last week and made payout this week, once they send your check for this week's earnings if you look under "Payment History" there will be another line under this week's total with that $10 and the check will be this week's earnings + last week's.

I am confused to why doing a 10 minute show for a dollar is a bad thing.

Well you are only making thirty three cents per customer. But I guess if you can get thirty customers then that's almost ten dollars per show. If you can get sixty customers then that's about 20 dollars. How many customers do you get typically? If I do a 12 minute gold show and charge 12 dollars then I make $4.20 per customer. So if I have 3 customers that's $12.60 and if I have 9 customers that's $37.80

I guess it depends how many customers you get. I can understand charging a dollar for a ten minute gold show if you are getting a couple hundred customers in each gold show. Personally I never get that many customers in a gold show so I just charge enough to make it worth my time. Enough to pay for all the time I sit around on my ass trying to get the freeloaders motivated, enough to get paid for all my otherwise wasted time.

I have never seen a girl on Streamate who was only worth 3 cents a minute though which is what a dollar for ten minutes comes to. But if you can make it work then more power to you and seriously my imaginary hat is off to you.

You know, two bits of this thread ... <snip> )


I could care less how much other girls charge for their gold shows. I never watch other girls. I don't have a customer account and I have never chatted with another cam girl in her free chat. In the year and a half or so that I have been camming I have spent about six minutes watching other models.

If a cam girl charges a dollar for a ten minute gold show she is paying herself three cents a minute. I think that charging a dollar for a ten minute gold show is good if you can get a couple hundred customers per gold show which would give a profit of sixty six dollars. I think if you want to give people a sample of your work that it is better to do a shorter gold show. If everyone busts a nut for a dollar then you lost business but if you do a really cheap teaser show and then advertise a full show after that one (after everyone is hard and horny but hasn't cum yet) then that's a good way to get people interested. I would hand out a taste, not treat everyone to a four course meal for a dollar.

But the good news is that there is no wrong way to cam. However you like to do it is the right way.

Oh ...

One thing I have noticed is that if I do a dollar gold show (for ten minutes) as opposed to a nine dollar gold show (for ten minutes) that more people will join the nine dollar show than the dollar show. I think most people tend to assume that if you only charge a dollar for a ten minute gold show then you are going to be doing a gold show that is only worth about a dollar whereas if you charge more people will think they are going to be getting a much better show. Their logic being that if you are only making a dollar (thirty three cents really) that you aren't going to be putting much effort into it.

There will always be people who complain that you are too expensive, no matter how little you charge. The people who won't fork out seven dollars for a ten minute show tend to be the same people who won't fork out a dollar for a show. I think a lot of turds register a credit card that they never use and then waste your time in your free chat (with zero intention of ever spending anything) and then tell you, "Well you charge too much." Not because they want you to lower your rate but because they feel guilty for wasting your time so they give you a bogus reason as to why they aren't spending any money on you, (because you are too expensive bb). The reality being that they have no intention of using their credit card, maybe it is maxed out, etc.

About $1 gold show, they donīt work for me because I donīt have that much paying traffic yet, but for those that do have a pretty consistent customers base, actually it is a good idea. If you charge $5, not everybody will join in. If you charge $1, probably you get more people joining in, and those who really want to see you, will pledge with more than a dollar. I also noticed that girls who charge a dollar, offer videos or pics sets if you pledge with more than $10 for example...I suppose is a way to sell their content.

Oh hey, has anyone seen their payment show up in payment history yet? I've never gotten a payment from SM before because I've never earned enough until now. I saw a notice on the site last night that said they were having technical difficulties updating the payment history but that payments were being processed. I was hoping to see something this morning though. I'm feeling paranoid because I had heard that some people are on a 3 week delay for payments. I emailed support and they said I'm not but my roommate use to be on SM and had some issues getting her checks in a timely fashion. I'm trying not to be paranoid but I really want my money LOL.

Don't feel bad, I will never have enough paying traffic to make a dollar gold show work. One problem with the dollar gold show (in my experience) is that some idiot who tips you a couple of dollars will expect you to scream his name and do special stuff for him (like rough anal or gagging) because he is the "high tipper". And I'm not sure we are allowed to sell pictures (someone else feel free to chime in) but either way, why would I want to be trying to get a guy's email address in order to send him free stuff when I could be working? I don't know about other people with better internet connections but when I am streaming it takes forever for other pages to load.

Really by selling cheap gold shows you turn cheap customers into patron saints because it is so easy for them to tip you a dollar or two and be the high tipper and it makes them feel like you owe them something when really you could just charge what you are worth. I charge a dollar a minute for gold shows. I don't have to rely on patron saints to come in and make up the difference. I mean seriously would you rather have five customers join a gold show for a dollar each or would you rather have two customers join a gold show for five dollars each. Five customers at a dollar each is half as much money as two customers at five dollars each.

Even though I charge a dollar a minute for gold shows I still get guys who tip me ten dollars on top of a dollar a minute. Keep in mind that this isn't the kind of job that most people can do till they are old enough to collect Social Security. You are charging for the best years of your life and those years are limited. But like I said, you can do this however you want. And I will never come into your room and complain. If you like to work twice as hard for a tenth of the money then that's the niche you will be carving out for yourself. I focus on the quality of my shows and I charge enough to make it worth my time but I'm just a weirdo that way.

I dunno. I think that it's best to play around with GS prices and see what works. Normally I do 5$ for a GS and that's that. Othertimes I do them for less and get way more people joining during the show after I have hit my goal. I don't necessarily care about how much I'm charging, but how much I'm making.

lifetravelergirl, while I do appreciate that you say that you're not judging and that you say that there is no "wrong way to cam" your language in your posts says otherwise. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but it really does. However you are comfortable with camming is fine but that doesn't mean that others charging less (including 1$) are wrong or writing themselves short by saying that they are only worth 3cents /minute. We all do what we are comfortable with and while I appreciate that you say that you feel the same way - writing essays about how you feel about GS and how much to charge for GS really doesn't promote that feeling among others who don't charge 1$/min or w/e.

I did several gold shows today, all 5 minutes each. Buy-in for 1 gold, very short countdown. It's pointless to complain about it anymore, god knows I used to, but the ways things are now, I am doing what I have to. I don't give out shit either....no pics, videos, etc..... I ended up catching up thanks to those gold shows and making my goal for the 2.5 hours I was on. Some of us don't have time to restart shows over and over all day long until we finally "train" the guys to pay what we are asking. Men are pigs, most men are cheap..but just be glad they are pitching in something to watch your show. You may get some new regulars because of it that will pay your regular PVT/EXC rates. Over on MFC, the freeloaders LEECH off the tippers without paying a dime and those gals still do their shows, so whatever..fuck it. :)

We don't have any control over that, except if we use the pause button then I think it gives the pvt show message for the first min or so then it changes to 'this model is taking a short break'. On a few occassions if my room suddenly goes dead for longer than a min I have checked my model link and it has the pvt show message, even though I have not been in pvt or am not in pvt at that time! Glitch maybe?
