The number of models in each category has been stuck at the same exact number for several hours now. Very odd.

Nope not just you, today and yesterday were crazy slow for me, maybe a quarter of my normal traffic. No-one speaking to me or responding when I said hello, just coming into my room staring for a few mins then leaving? So strange.

RaeRae
12-06-2013, 11:36 PM
Def not just you. Slow, plus the past two or three days I was getting told that I was lagging and freezing a lot. I checked out my own feed every time it was brought up and I seemed fine through my cammodels link and I'm great according to the encoder. My gold shows keep on messing up too even when guys say my stream is fine. I assume that Streamate is just glitching a lot right now.

Yes!!! I was chatting and flirting and everything. It was horrible, they don't even want to talk anymore :(




yup^ thats what happened to me too on tuesday!
it suuuucks! but glad to know its just not me, cause at first i thought it was. lol


anyways, question....was today kiinda slow? I am wondering if I need to change it up some or whatever....cause it was kinda slow.. but i still did well...just not sure...
still thinking I could have done better but it was like pulling teeth

i wanted to share this link for ppl who were keeping track of their time online its an hourly calculator it concerts time into hours . like tonight so far i worked from 9:15 to 11:30 and 1am - 2:45 it converted that out to 4 hours of time for me. it makes things a lot easier for me hope it helps some of you out too

also just wanted to add i realized i make about double at night then during the day in the day i make 11-13 an hour at night ive been averaging about 20

12-07-2013, 01:22 AM
what I do is look at my online time before I go online and write the total minutes down and then at the end of the day subtract the number I wrote down from the new total. Then divide that by 60. Then I divide the $$ I made by that number and get my per hour.

I just did my first successful Gold show but my Gold isn't showing up in my recent earnings. I'm freaking out. How long does it take after a show for stats to be updated? I am concerned that because one of the people left the show early I'm not going to get paid or something.

I have a spreadsheet that I use for Streamate. I just put the hours logged and earnings info so I can see how often I'm in private chat and how much I'm earning per hour.

It's called the external chat button. You have to message support and ask for it.

It's supposed to be used to do membership shows for your personal site. You can use it to avoid FREE chat when you are in classic chat and to enable your gold shows for your site members in party chat

Just keep in mind it knocks you down to the bottom placement wise so the only way that you are seen is if someone has your favorited and is logged in or by your site members. If you search external chat streamate on here there is a thread about it. It's a nice option to have just like the break button. I use it sometimes to put Myself into private mode so that the lurkers know My time is valuable and to make content and do membership shows as well.

i asked for the external chat button before i went to bed this morning i just woke and see this back from SM support - Thank you for writing. I am not sure what you are referring to. Please clarify what you mean.

so basically they have no clue what a feature is on the site they work for ? this is where our 65% is going folks ....

so what should i tell them? since i really want to use this to log in on sundays so i can only work for my regs and ppl who have me faved but i know they wont give it to me if i tell them its the button that lets u avoid free chat lol

trying one more time to get someone who knows their job then i'll be emailing liz -_-

Using it to avoid free chat is abusing the feature really so yeah don't mention that you intend to do that.

I'm not sure they will give it to a host who has no member's area because it is intended to provide a way for you to transmit a show to your own website members. I had to show a link them my member's area and that it was secure and not open to the public before I got set up.

I believe they are going to require a password protected area with a billing processor that checks that anyone buying your memberships are of legal age. All your private shows are transmitted to whatever site you have linked when you do the external show option so you'd be doing shows in public if you link to a site that doesn't require a secure login with membership.

it's called a break putton or pause button .. i think that is what you are referring to..

she's asking about something else but realistically you COULD use the break / pause button for this and it would probably work as well.

JaneBurgess
12-07-2013, 03:20 PM
She's talking about something else. Those of us that do cam shows for our sites with a members area have this option.

i kinda gave up on the idea tho i cant really use it the way i wanted to because i dont have a members only site and after the second time i email support to ask for it seems no one knows what it is .

So I have a question, I have lots of regs on sm and they do come at least a time or two a week to see me. Most of my customers are new, like everyday I get at least ten new people who get shows sometimes I never see most of them for awhile if at all. I make most of my money and good money off these new people I am always on page 1 or 2 when it's very slow. My question is do all of you see new people like everyday too that get shows because if I ever don't have any new guys like I have everyday then I think my money might go down a little. I am doing great with the site and have been there 5 months so it's not my new model status bringing the new guys btw. I have 1000 faves already too. Also can someone who knows about the numbers of sm tell me how many new members or visitors sm gets everyday I looked on alexa and coul not find it. THANKS SOOO MCUH LADIES :)

I have my big spending regulars who show up every couple of weeks, then I have my group of semi regulars who get short shows once a week or so, but the majority of my privates are new guys. I think being on the first page you get the most exposure to traffic and so you will see a lot of the new guys to the site.

I don't think there is any real way for us to know how many new members the site gets every day. Also, you can't look only at streamate.com because they have SO many white labels that make up a bulk of the traffic. Trying to figure this out is near impossible for us.

Well you might have seen me vent about my earning fav-adds being Sisyphus' labor and things. Today, I literally got to witness 30+ fav adds I earned this week magically disappear over the course of an hour! It went like 14017 - 14006 - 14000 - 1380 - ta-daam, you don't have those 14000 anymore bitch, go change your status to something less smug. Shit, now I seriously think Sunday is the day someone sends my regulars insulting letters on my behalf.

I ALWAYS lose a ton of favorites on Sunday. My theory is that's the day the closed accounts/ banned members drop off from favorites. Not sure what else it could be.

HOw the hell does one get more than 5 people in chat these days? In these two weeks I 1) changed my hair;
2) lowered my price to 1.99; 3) bought pro lighting; 4) stripped down to bra and panties; 5) was dancing and stroking my ass off. Nothing seems to improve my traffic or paid vs free stats((((. My last month sucked ass and I need to do something to get it pick up asap. Looks like it needs financial investment, but I have no idea what else to buy to lure them in(((

Have u tried changing ur profile pik? Different angle of the cam ? Re-writing ur profile ? Are you active on social media - tweet piks etc. ? Redecorating ur cam room ?

I'm generally in the top two rows and it's very rare that I have more than 2 people in pvt at a time. It happens but it's rare... I don't believe much of what I see on her. Focus on you and don't worry about what you read.

^^I rent the apartment so can't remake it in any way (only put a christmas tree or a cute lamp in my corner, perhaps). I changed my profile pic to a holiday-themed one, but it didn't work, though the pic is really cute IMO. I also have a tumblr where I post my pics sometimes, but its as deserted as my chat room so my selfies only get like 5 notes)). As for the profile, I can't see what can be changed to the better there; same with my cam angle.

Im surrounded my two brick walls a kitchen and the front door wall is just the door and a giant window i got a photo backdrop stand to put behind the couch that i have wall scrolls clipped up to . is ur wall decorated in anyway like maybe tape up some posters or something ?

Lol after I got kicked out of one of my previous apartments literally for driving a screw in a wall I'd rather not do it. Some landlords are just bitches on power-trip =\. Guess I'll ask mine next time I see him. Have no idea what to put up there, though)

I never get mine on Monday... always Tuesdays or Wednesdays. I don't think you guys should freak out unless you don't get it until later in the week... I don't think anyone on here has ever had a problem getting a cheque from SM (except the recent glitch stuff that they communicated with us).

No idea why! seems like the usual copy/paste crap you get from support. if that is when the glitch happened i should write them back and try to get the check sent again. i remember around that time when i logged on it gave me some pop up message about payments not showing up in earnings but that payments would be sent out on time, but it never came. is this the glitch you guys are talking about?

For those of you who receive checks, the mail is really unpredictable this time of year. I wouldn't freak out about it. Everything gets delayed, which sucks a whole bunch, but that's the holidays for ya.

I would be freaked out about a check from a month ago though! Is it in your payment history that they sent it to you? If so, then it was probably the post office that screwed up, not SM, and you'll end up having to pay the fee to get your money :( A similar issue is why I finally decided to suck it up and pay payoneer's fees. It's not ideal, but it's better than stressing about where my money went.

Payoneer's fees are so steep! They were charging me fees to buy stuff, a percentage of every purchase, percentages to take $ out, fees for ATM transactions and for debit transactions.

I got direct deposit set up and now Payoneer only charges me $3 and they put my money directly in my bank account every Tuesday and I keep ALL the rest of my money.

Why pay all those fees? I don't get it.

The check is reissued for free after 45 days. Unless you really need the money now it'd be better to wait.

Yeah the payment shows in my payment history. ;( drag.. so maybe it was the post offices fault.

i did some digging further back in this thread to see what happened. really sucks. i will probably just wait the 45 days so i can get the check for free.

I thought about getting payoneer and went to sign up for it but then they told me i needed to scan and send my SS card. so i never did it... but $3 for a direct deposit sure beats $40 through SM. or a trip the bank.

Blah!
My room has been so dead lately, i honestly don't know what to do.

/stressed

Xmas is coming up & I need a new computer. I only need 500 bucks but that goal seems so far away since the last few days all I've made is 69 bucks.
Fuck My Life.

Do NOT give up. I had a few shitty weeks on there. I was pissed, upset and mad. I took time off and then came back Saturday. Stick with it and see what happens. We all have days that are shitty and make you want to cry. The we have awesome days and love camming.

Literally tumbleweed in my room today, I had to take a week off because I was too ill to cam and now Im thinking I seriously fucked up my placement. I sat there like a lemon for 2 hours today and made...$0.70! Jesus take the wheel! How long do you guys stay on cam when you arent making any money/before giving up hope? I was ready to throw my laptop out the window! And the week before I was ill was my best week ever! Dammit!

I'm in a niche, but I've never had placement issues after a single shitty night. Lately I've been trying to stay on for at least 2 hours, there seems to be lots of guys who check me out then decide to come back a little bit later to go private.

ugh just had a pretty sucky 3 hours on sm i did good my first 3 hour shift from 9-12 took an hour break 12-1 then 1-4 was just balls - pretty sure it was the site i saw a lot of guys go in then leave right away or stay a bit maybe talk leave randomly and come back a few seconds after . i did good in my first shift (for me) made like 40 something then from 1-4 i made like around 10 or so : (

anyone else seem to have had tech issues ?

I had tech issues yesterday (morning my time, which is at night for US girls), I even lost connection while in a fucking pvt with a regular! Thankfully the show was finished and we were just talking... Still, ugh.

No idea about today, I'm sick :/
