They don't match the gold you make, they only guarantee your goal of $70 and whatever extra you make is a plus.

Hey, so I had a serious gold show bug. I hit start, it took a bit to start which was strange, then I was immediately kicked out of my show and the countdown went from 5:58 to 0:00. The 0:00 was in a different font and size. After returning to the 30s until your show remains, I returned to chat devastated, apologizing and thinking I lost my goal. Turns out, they were all charged... Lucky me, but I contacted streamate support about it. If anyone runs into this as well, please report it. Guys can't start to think that SM might be ripping off their custies.

You really need to read the Performers Manual. I think you said you speak Spanish somewhere on here? Send me a private message. I can help you with parts of it if you like.

Silly newb question: If someone clicks on your link and signs up, will you get paid for referring them?
And if I want a members account for myself, should I sign up through my link? Or should I do it through the homepage of streamate the site?

Sign up under your affiliate link, and yes, you'll receive 75% of whatever they spend on you and 20% of what they spend on other models.

Hello my beautiful fellow cammies, so lastnight was my first time web camming ever, I had one private in 3 hrs., all I cld do was laugh because I hadnt even realized the guy took me private for like a minute lol, but he was very nice and rated me a 5 even tho admittedly i cld have done so much btr. But I am already frustrated, 90% of the guys that came into my chat left within 5 sec. wtf? I am often told I am a beautiful girl, and i try to greet everyone, talked to the ones that wanted to talk, I dont understand what I am doing wrong. Well I actually cant help them leaving in 2 sec., but I have good lighting, hd cam, great internet, a freakin personality, and looks, sooooo, anyone have any answers for this newbie who took a whole month just to push that little start my show button? lol.. tx ladies!

You can't sell clothing or anything on there that would require you to get their personal information. I know people do it, but many have been suspended for doing it.

You officially unofficially CAN NOT sale tangible goods. Yes some get away with it. But not everyone can do what they do. Soooo be careful with that. Selling tangible items means that an exchange of offsite info has to be shared. That is against the rules. Being new and just starting out you really do not want to get suspended while having the "new model tag". Its a waste of a good thing. Read the manual and learn the rules.This way you know how to play the game. Read this thread. So much info is embedded in here.

You can't sell panties on SM. If you sell panties, you have to ask the buyer for his address so you can mail them, and you're not allowed to give or ask for outside contact info. The girl you saw was breaking the rules. They will ban you for that, so it's probably not worth it.

Yes, if they want to take you private, they'll just do it. Try looking around at other ladies in free chat, see what they are doing, see what works for them, and then develop your own cam personality and "hustle."

Coming in and out is probably because they're hoping to catch you totally nude doing a close-up of your spread vag in free chat (which you shouldn't be doing!!!).

Yeah, do not sell your panties as a new model. The models that do stuff like panty selling, "fuck a fan" contests (ewww), nudity in free chat, etc get away with it because they're proven money makers, and even then they sometimes get in trouble.

As for guys popping in and out of your chat, Streamate is notorious for this... that and guys just sitting around not talking. It takes some getting used to. If you work classic chat (where they can't see how many other people are there/what they're saying) you can have conversations with yourself to keep it lively so you're not just sitting there greeting guy after guy after guy getting demoralized.

Thank you ladies for all the responses, and no, I wont show any nudity in free chat let alone my spread vag lol! Some guy asked to c my pussy for a dollar lastnight. Yeah I dont think so bud go buy a playboy omg. tx again!

I was this close to writing the night off as a waste of freeloaders and freebie seeking assholes when I got a request for an exclusive with a new customer. Then he asks for phone, extending the show to like 30 minutes. On top of it, he tipped on his way out, left a super nice review, and promised to come back tomorrow same time. Yes, yes, I can live with that. <3

It's the little victories, right girls?

I've suddenly had a HUGE increase in the number of block shows that I do. Over the past two days, I've done at least 3/day. I used to do one every few weeks. O_O I'm not sure why it's happening, but I am NOT complaining. :D

Work has been so bad since Christmas. I don't understand what is wrong. I can't make money to save my life on Streamate. I have a huge tax burden from last year and I can't even pay my basic living expenses. I am tempted to contact Streamate support to see what is wrong, I mean why does no one come into my room? Have I been black-listed or something? Am I blocked from appearing in regions? I am going to loose everything I ever owned and end up on the streets.

lifetravelergirl
03-21-2014, 01:53 AM
Can I change my region blocking myself, if so where do I find it to change it?

I think I must also be charging too much, do you think seven dollars a minute is too much? I am asking seven dollars a minute for both exclusive and private (same price).

I think 5.99 or 7.99 are good spots. I think you should try 7.99 first. Couldn't hurt to try.

Thanks, I decided to quit doing the same price thing. Now my private time is a dollar cheaper and everything ends in .99 instead of .98 I also managed to find the geographic restrictions thing after reluctantly putting on reading glasses. Amazing how much easier things are when I can actually see what I am doing. I accidentally let loose with a huge fart on cam (after a previous anal show) and no one said anything *_* . I didn't blush either, I guess I am getting used to this kind of work.

I'm really beginning to think that half of the people coming into free chat honestly don't know that SM is anything but free chat. I don't know how or where they are advertising but it's obviously not as a pay-to-play site. All day long I get people asking for things in free chat and when I tell them I can do it in private or exclusive they ask what that is. Or they'll say "this is my first time here, what do I do?" Is there nothing for the customers to read when they sign up or are they that fucking lazy that they would rather me explain the workings of the site to them in free chat than read? Well guess what, I ain't got time for that. I can explain all you want in Exclusive.

And I don't know if it's my computer, my internet, or the site but it's really hit or miss with tech stuff for me. My feed is either choppy and freezes or it's flawless. Some days it's like pulling teeth to get $50 in 3 hrs and others I'm in back to back private and exclusive where I'm doing $300 in 3 hrs. I know I need to upgrade my laptop ( hoping to get a desktop in the next moth) but I don't understand why it some days and not other days.

Overall though I do notice it's getting better. I was able to do $1000 last week to get new furniture which I desperately needed.

I think the best u can do is just minimize the free chat - all guys in guest chat HAVE credit cards on file they're just cheap fucks. U need to be registered with a credit card to be able to talk in guest chat and not free chat

Yes on Streamate you do it from your settings page, the same page where you decide whether you are going to have Classic or Party chat. It's really easy to do. Click on Start My Show, Click on Settings, And then on the right side, second drop down menu choose No where it says, "allow users without credit cards to enter my free chat".

How often do you get TV show offers? I've opted in cca. 3 weeks ago, got one the first day, and then no more...I'm online almost every day. Also I didn't get any warning messages from producer or anything like that. I see some models get 1-2 of these per day. Do I just suck or what can be the reason for that?

When I first opted in it took ages until I got the first offer, which I accepted and then I didn't get any for a few weeks. I've been getting at least one offer daily for over a week now and it annoys the hell out of me. I wish we didn't get an error message when we opt out, cause that bit of red text annoys me even more than the daily offers.

How do you get the "10 minute break" on Streamate? I'm using the encoder but dont know where to look.

There is a whole bunch of 'trixy' things that Streamate doesn't let the people who work for them know about by default.

Here are some of them are that you can email support to ask for:

1. A break button so you aren't trying to break you neck to get dressed in 30 seconds.

2. That you can have a static picture as your user picture instead of the unflattering candid pictures that they constantly are snapping of you.

3. You can raise your rates beyond the default posting limit of $4.99

If you email support and they tell you that you can't have any of these things then just try to email them again at a later date. Support there is not consistent. Sometimes you get evil monkeys and sometimes you get nice and competent people. It is really just a crap shoot when you are emailing support about anything in general.

It is best to only ask for one thing at a time. The majority of Streamate support staff can not multitask more than one problem.

Welcome to the awe, wonder and hate that is working for Streamate! :)

Perhaps you need to have an invitation for this. After a month they sent me an email stating that they had upgraded my price options allowing me to charge up to 7.99.

I won't ever be charging this much so I don't care, but perhaps models need to be up a certain standard before they allow this option, as they do for Gold Shows...., or maybe that doesn't count for US based models.

You have to be in party chat and you must have free chat enabled (in addition to guest chat). Xx

Another question, I saw a girl selling her panties to highest tipper and was at 30$... can u set ur bid so highest tipper isnt like 2$ and my panties cost 5?? And any advice to get into privates would sooo much b appreciated, I charge 3.99/min, Do the guys that wanna take u pvt just take u pvt?

Hopefully without upsetting other sensitive ladies on here, my advice is that you're charging too much, assuming the $3.99 is for premium chat.

I charged $2.49 on my first day and got many privates. That was last month. I'm now experimenting between $2.49 and $2.99 to see which works best, but it's not easy to get a conclusive answer because day to day business always fluctuates. If you've got all the good and it takes 3 hours to get your first private on your first day, that's a pretty good indicator to me your price is too high. I believe first day status should make you quite popular. My first day camming (back in 2005) I made over $500 profit on one site.... and I'm just an average looking Asian girl.

You have to e-mail Streamate to ask them to give you higher rate options, and they will.

Also, when I had signed up with a Streamate studio some time ago, their welcome e-mail informed me that $3.99 for premium and $4.99 for exclusive are the standard rates that models start out with.

As I said above, I didn't have to email them - the option was given to me in a message from customer support about a month into my service.

However, because I'm not in the US, we are treated differently so what happens may vary by model location. For starters, we only get 30% commission and don't have an option to do block shows, so we're certainly not treated as well as most of you.

Yes, I realize that. I'm responding to your "Perhaps you need to have an invitation for this" comment. I was just letting you know that many SM models actually had to e-mail SM to ask them for the higher rate options. I know that I was one of the models (yes, I'm in the U.S.) who had to e-mail them to ask for it.

Same here, my maximum rates were set to 4.99 so i emailed them to give me higher rates, now i can go up to $9.99, still i read some of you guys have them up to 14.99. For sure its not the same for everyone which is not fair, i dont know any other site doing things like SM does regarding what features & % pay they give their models. SMH

You actually don't need an invitation to raise you rates. I know girls who have signed up for Streamate and had their rates raised the first day.

When you raise your rates, you actually have to have a number to tell support to raise them too. Mine are at $14.99 right now but I've heard that you can now go up to $19.99. I've been too lazy to email support to fight with them to raise my rates again and haven't been bold enough to start charging $19.99 a minute yet instead of $14.99 a minute.

If she is charging too much I can only image what you think of my rate! LOL!

I am $12.99/$14.99 a minute.

That is the awesome thing about camming. You can keep experimenting with your rate until you find the best rate for you. The right rate for one camgirl is not necessarily the right rate for another.

Keep raising it until you find a slow down in your privates and then knock it back a little. It is all about supply and demand, bb! You don't need to keep your rates static. Every day is a new day. ;)

Yes, I remember you posting about that a few weeks ago. I was just intrigued that I got an invitation a few days ago. You said they can approved up to 9.99... even $19.99.

I would like the block sessions. I think I'll email them about them and ask.

They just sent you a message letting you know that it is possible to get your price up to 19.99. An update news, apparently. :)
