The placement confuses me all together. I took 15 days off this month for the hell of it and my placement is the best it's ever been since I started camming in September. I hope it fixes itself honey :) I know that must be a pain!! I remember tumble weeds in my chatroom a few months back and now I can't catch a break. lol :)

I rented a Mother in Law suite aka Guest House in the back of someones property. What saved me was the back entrance from the alley. So I didn't need to cut through the front yard of the property or interact with the people in the main house. The neighbors never even saw me. The windows were double paned to cut down on the noise going out and coming in. Ask those sort of questions when you look at places. Check it out at night time, just to see how quiet it is and how well the insulation works. You don't want to move in and be the loud one. The only problem I had was the wife getting weirded out by another female being on her property. She was kinda curious about what I did and sort of offended that I never invited her in. I only lived there 6 months.
Does anyone have any advice on a better rental option? I live in a studio and I cannot be as loud or as wild as I would like because the walls are paper thin and being that I live on the 3rd floor there are people below me. What about renting out a casita (small guest house) in someones back yard, have any of you done that? When I move I am going to miss all utilities being included. lol. :)

Placement is very weird. I haven't been on in four and a half months and I was on the top of page two. I expected to be way far back. I also plan to work on there a lot again and get back towards the top of page one.
Holy hell is SM updating placement in like a matter of days now or what???
My placement had been lower from barely working for a month, finally I had been working a lot again doing great and it went back up REALLY high. In a matter of two days it went right back down again to where it was before!?!? :(
And I've been making good hourly, getting 5 stars, perfect stream settings..... so frustrating. The only thing I can think of is that I took 3 days in a row off. But why would only 3 days make it go back down that far?

Did your gold show earnings show up? They can sometimes take up to 30 minutes to all show up on your earnings report.

earnings from gold show take 1 an hour or so to add into your earnings, and even if you did a show without making goal, because there are guys who come into the gold show during the show the earnings will just show up after the show has been finished for an hour.

Regarding placement. Please don't worry about it, as much as I've seen posted on here I've noticed that You all have the same screen names (who never pay) in your room, as I do in mine everyday, and night! I've never been on the first page. I even see those that I have blocked, go into Your rooms with the same idiotic questions that got him blocked from my room.
I just wish SM would get more new people to sign up. I only get a few new ones every week, that I try my hardest to covert.
Than God for my regs, because at a certain time of night, they always go prvt.
Hi,
I'm posting here because I'm working with SM, but I just wanted to hear from you, guys. I even wrote SM support and they suggested that I asked you lol. My issue is that my percentage in paid chat and my hourly wage is awfully poor. So I wanted to tell my story for those who have nothing else to do (I'm sorry for my whining, girls, I just need I little help here).
I started camming like 3 years ago, but only for a couple of months, nothing consistent, I didn't make great money or anything and I was with a studio and I stopped bc I was in a bad moment emotionally and I started dating a guy who thought camming wasn't helping (and well, I really think you need to be stable to do this kind of job, now I'm ok). Last summer I tried again. With cam4 and SM, I even applied for MFC, Chaturbate, cammodeldirectory and I was thinking in AW too, but never used those sites though. I performed some indy shows through skype (cam4 might be full of retarded broke wankers but it helped me find some good regs for those indy shows). I wasn't consistent either. My shows were pretty vanilla, I was using my laptop cam, a shitty internet, never used the mic, any toy and did everything wrong, but I managed somehow to be in the paid chat the 30/35% of time (and I was doing pretty good in the beginning in cam4) I earn good money for being the lazy ass I was. I stopped for bf issues again (he is the jealous type).
Then I thought, what the heck, I'm broke as fuck and I loved that job and the unemployment rate is just so fucking high to find anything decent. So I made a new persona, wanted to focus only in SM for the moment being, and I've been like 2 weeks or so, now I have high speed internet (100mbps) at least is the higher in my country. I have the logitech c920 now (a client bought that for me), use the encoder, good lighting, I'm being more consistent, I'm trying different outfits every time, different angles, I have a cute face with nerdy glasses, sometimes I don't use them sometimes I do, I have a slender body thought I need more gym lol and my thing is I between DD and DDD, natural boobs and tiny waist. I smile, smile, smile, like I have stiffness in my face next morning and I move and dance and chat and use the mic a lot. I do my nails, put make-up too. And I speak 4 languages but only use two for working.
I work from 00:00 to 4:00 am UTC/GMT +1 hour bc I'm living again with my family bc I had no job and they would freak out if they knew, and I'm spending weekends with my bf... I wish I could change that. Do you think is a good or a bad time to get online?
I don't have the feature where my main picture change every 3 minutes bc it always caught me doing stupid ugly faces but I heard it affects traffic. Is it true?
Also, I can't know my placement bc I blocked my country THOUGH the second day I could find myself on the first spot in the first page of new models category, but I can't find me anymore. And some dudes from my country were in my room sometimes as well, I guess via proxy. I have 5 stars, and all, only one comment yet, and I made some successful gold shows (pretty cheap to gain audience).
I learned all that because I've been reading you forever and you guys are awesome and give great advice. I've post like four times bc I'm shy and I would like to post in a place where only cam girls could read me but I believe I have to be verified or something and post a lot.
Sooo, here's my question. I have like between 2 up 5 guys in my room, when I'm trying to make gold show like 15/20 guys popped up, but most of them only lurk around and pay nothing. I greet every guy that comes to my room after half a minute. I don't have toys yet, I'll buy one today even though it's only for titty-fuck and DP. I can't squirt yet bc I do my shows in my family living room, in a chair, and that would be a catastrophe lol. I fucking love fetishes, I love to dominate, but the sissies don't come to my room almost ever!!! All guys want is to see me jumping and bouncing my oily boobies and my shows only last an average of 2/3 minutes!!! My percentage in paid chat is like 12% (since I started) and my hourly wage is 15$ and I don't even know if it's worth it. I'm not american, sometimes I think guys want girls next door or something like that...
So girls, if you have any suggestions... It will be greaaatly appreciated. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I made a base of regulars really fast when I was working in those poor conditions (those guys would stayed with me like 45 minutes) and I know it's only 2 weeks, but I find it really weird. If any of you wants to know my nickname in SM to help me out or finding my placement tell me so.
Another thing is... I'm going to make a new skype account and a twitter and I think I'm gonna start pimping my cammodels link (I'm doing this very low-key, so IDK). But how can I give my custies my twitter and my skype without being banned? I was once and I didn't even gave it! The guy insisted till death. I said something like 'yeah yeah, I will, I promise' but I didn't it was just to get rid of him. So I'm kind of scared.
Also, I've read everything in here and I'm following the rules, I just think I don't know how to hustle anymore, I don't know how to get guys to buy me pvts or i don't know. I won't give up bc I love it and I really need the money but this is not enough.
Sorry for the longest post on earth, anyone who read it, well, it will have all my love and all.

In the last post i was just replying lifetravelergirl's question but regardless i've been reading your forum for a long long time that's what they told me when I asked for some tips:
"In regard to your time in paid chat it sounds like you are doing all the right things to have a quality stream and fun/interesting show for users. Many of our performers have had success in finding information or getting suggestions from other cam models on Stripper Web, https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?198-Camming-Connection."
Guys, you should start asking for commission :D

I would say since the peepers are definitely annoying you and you get mostly repeats anyway, price your private price high enough so that it cuts down on the peepers but still low enough so that your regulars will buy. (Maybe put it at whatever your exclusive usually is).
I'd also add - price your exclusive just a bit higher (maybe a dollar) just because I feel they should pay a little more for the privilege of locking out everyone else. :) That way you get the psychological advantage of them paying a bit more and realizing they are getting a privilege.
Why would increasing the price stop peepers? I would have thought that the higher your price the more peepers you'll get because they can't afford to go over the 30s so they will cut out before they're being charged.

Your cammodels link can not be promoted in your own room on Streamate! That is only for promoting outside the site, so there is no need to give guys on SM your Skype and risk being banned. As far as Twitter there are some great threads here about getting followers and promoting your cammodels link. Twitter is the best tool for getting signups it seems. Don't risk your account by trying to promote in your room. Just get the same name as your screenname and fans will google you.
Since you love domination put lots of domme stuff in your profile along with keywords they might search for like joi and sph and how you love dressing up sissies. You have to let them know they are welcome so they can find you.
$15 an hour average isn't too horrible really. I realize its hard to do this job for 8 hours but I'd say work as many hours as you can (and maybe work from your boyfriend's place some if it helps you work longer - I'm assuming this is a different guy from the one who wanted you to quit). Consider raising your rate some (subs will often pay more if you can build that clientele up).
Greeting every guy and dancing around doesn't really give a domme vibe. It can actually chase guys away when you greet them immediately like that. Try being more low key and sensual and maybe study a few dommes in their free chat and mimic their attitude.
If that doesn't improve things then go the other direction and try a different more vanilla persona and see if that fits. You have to experiment a bit sometimes (which can be fun actually). Best wishes! Honestly I think you're off to a good start and things can only get better from there.

It takes Support time to get back. For me its usually around 1 or 2 days at the most. I wrote SM about ratings yesterday as well. A customer rated me a 1 because he didn't read my profile or room topic about what I do and don't do in my shows. I haven't heard back from them yet. Be patient bb.
who do i talk to.. because i wrote liz and i wrote support and i havent heard back from anyone.
Some asshole rated me a 1 because he got charged and i have proof thats why he rated me
"You kicked me out of the private and told me you were not doing it, when we already were there, when my card was already charged...you want a 5 star review? Earn it! Bussiness most be a win-win my dear"
from him
and no i did not kick him out. i told him hey i dont do privates or exclusives and I even typed it out in case he had no sound... no response so then he was like can i at least see ur pubes and im like that it? sure.. okay.. he so i show him.. and yeah.. he leaves after a minute and a half.. and fucking rates me as a 1 because I got fucking charged... dude. I gave him an out.. he's just an incompetent fool.
so do i keep writing liz til she messages me, do i go to vanessa? i dont have her email.. i want that rating off.

For future reference, please don't write Liz or Vanessa if you need to have bad ratings removed. They are very busy with a million other things going on. You can simply contact support from your account and provide them with an explanation why you'd like it removes. It may take 1-2 days but they will remove it.

Thanks a bunch, love! I have all that in my profile. I'm a switch, I like doing both things, but I just don't get submissive guys yet. I'll try not to greet that often and I will watch more dommes for sure.
The thing is that my screen name is kind of a popular one, so I'm not sure they would find me but I'm gonna look for the threads about exploiting my cammodel link and the twitter.
And yes... It's the same guy, we split up, i started camming again and then we came back. It's my business, but I guess I'll eventually tell him. I'm just worried about my financial situation right now. He's improving things so, we'll see.
But thank you again!

I don't plan to cam on there full time again. I don't want to lose the account, I want to work on there part time. I took time off because I was stressing over all the changes and glitches. Gold shows threw me for a loop to be honest. I just plan to not do them because I suck at them. Being away did allow me to find a couple of cam sites that I really enjoy working on and plan to continue on.

Everyone should expect a bad rating here and there from butt hurt assholes.
I can see how if you only do gold shows, it might be a concern because at that point you never get any ratings. And ratings drop off after 90 days. So if you never get any ratings, you're eventually going to fall back to the "default" 4 stars anyway.

This is exactly what I did the last time I changed my rates. I bumped my Private rate up to my usual Exclusive rate, and bumped Exclusive up a dollar.
I realized that I wasn't really making anything in private at my usual rates, although I was spending a LOT of time there. It was just being drawn out by multiple peepers. So far, my average is about the same as it was before BUT I'm not wearing myself out by hammering away in private for next to nothing.

This is not meant as a criticism of your opinion in anyway.....but in my own opinion....the ability to have bad ratings removed isn't exactly what one would call a privilege. Most companies that use rating systems do have a fail-safe in the system to allow for bad ratings to be removed or handled so SM doing that for us isn't a privilege really.
But if you are saying that if girls whine about bad ratings too much that Streamate will turn its famous deaf ear to all camgirls to 'teach them a lesson' then I can totally agree with that. LOL!

The deactivation thing is a new occurrence. And going forward it's after zero activity in a three month period. Recently I think they did a massive clean up of all the "dead" accounts. Some accounts have been re-activated after a an email to support. But I know of two whom were deleted completely. Or at least that's the response they got from the person on email duty that particular day.

I only ask them to remove '1' star ratings when it is truly nothing to do with me.. the rest of the time .. I give them plenty of good reasons and push their buttons so I end up taking the hit for it!..lol
In addition to this, I kind of feel like if we email to have every single bad rating removed, they will quit giving us that privilege. One 1 star out of tons of ratings shouldn't hurt you to the point of hurting your placement or anything - if anything it hurts our pride lol that's about it, unless you are getting several bad ratings regularly, and if they didn't leave an actual profile comment no one can see it but you.
Everyone should expect a bad rating here and there from butt hurt assholes.
I can see how if you only do gold shows, it might be a concern because at that point you never get any ratings. And ratings drop off after 90 days. So if you never get any ratings, you're eventually going to fall back to the "default" 4 stars anyway.

Why would increasing the price stop peepers? I would have thought that the higher your price the more peepers you'll get because they can't afford to go over the 30s so they will cut out before they're being charged.
I think what laurielegs is saying is that increasing your prices is sometimes a good deterrent for the cheap-asses. We've said so many times on here that cheap rates often attract the cheap-ass, bottom-of-the-barrel, rude members...while the classier, more respectful men are often willing to pay the higher rates without bitching about it. You can tell who the cheap-asses are. They're the ones who go jumping from room to room bitching at models "4.99 per minute?! Are you fucking insane?!," and they're the ones who always say "You gonna do a Gold show, bb? Tits out halfway?" LOL.
Hope this is the right place for this... if not, I apologize!
I was on Streamate for the first time tonight, and sat for an hour without any privates or exclusives. Is this normal? Six people did add me to their favorites list, though obviously that doesn't pay the bills.
Could it be that I'm charging too much for a beginner? After reading through this thread, I set the rates at 2.89 premium and 3.89 exclusive. I've run though "the checklist": I had low music, good light, and was talkative and chatty and smiling. I also had a good set of toys. I'm also North American and at least reasonably attractive, if that matters. Any suggestions, or should I just try again later?
