I try to remember to ask them to leave me a 5 rating and a comment when we're winding down the session. For the less communicative gents, I have one of those saved messages that I hit towards the end that shows on their screen.

All too often the non-gentlemen will leave without even saying goodbye! Even when I see them cum on cam2cam, so I know they're satisfied. Good thing I'm used to the rudeness, but it certainly isn't endearing.

That sounds like the model is split camming on ImLive if I'm not mistaken. I've worked ImLive a few times and there's a doorbell ding - but nothing I've heard on SM so far and did exclusives yesterday

kind of the reason why i typically take the weekends off - theres too many models on and it tends to make the site unstable but im blessed to have a living situation that i dont need that much to make ends meet and can afford to typically take wed and the entire weekend off if i wanted to - i havent been on since thursday night

You're online today. That's all.
Not really. My traffic has been great today so it's not "the day." It could be something else ... Or maybe Streamate is just becoming so over-saturated that new girls aren't doing well anymore. Or maybe her cam quality isn't good. IDK, I can't offer an opinion on someone I've never seen.

My traffic is up and down. Losing my new model status is a total bitch, but I knew it was coming and I survived the first week without any drop in income. Dunno why last week was so god awful--I'm blaming all the streaming and other miscellaneous glitches you guys have been mentioning. I did raise my rates recently though ($.50 increase for exclusive and private each), so I figured that my temporarily hurt me. Go figure, I spend about the same amount of time in paid chat and make a good $5-10 an hour more. Well then...

Webcam work is like olden black magic. You know, with the Shaman who keeps a staff that has rattles on top and uses boiled chicken bones and smoke to foresee the future? The guy with the giant bone hook through his nose? Yeah, that basically sums up how SM works.

There are girls on here that say they are doing amazing on Streamate. There are girls on here that say they are doing horrible on Streamate. At the same time.


Lets look at the differences between the two:

Do those who aren't doing well on Streamate have regulars? Probably not, or they wouldn't be doing bad and they'd have business.

Are there more girls on Streamate than ever before? Yes. So that means there are more options for customers to choose from, thus less of the money pie for each of us unless you did the item above.

Is there more traffic on Streamate than ever before? Who knows, there's no real way to tell due to white labels and Streamate advertising very sneakily (I don't blame them). Many girls have said they think the traffic on the site is going down. Thus, showing the above.


So what does this tell us? Streamate is probably oversaturated with cam girls, making money hard to earn in general, unless you build regulars.

Its kind of like those pyramid schemes as well. Those camgirls who got into camming on a certain site well before a rush of new girls, were able to build up a ton of regulars ($$$$$) back when there wasn't much competition, therefore those girls will always earn more money in general and make camming on this site appear "easy" and "lucrative" for new girls when a lot of the time its not.

How does everyone fare from customers who sign up under your cammodels link? Is there much passive income from them spending on others? I know what the % is, just wondering what people's actual experiences are, whether you notice the extra income or whether it's peanuts.

Change the window sizes and move them on your screen, so you can see yourself in the encoder and still chat to your room.

I would not do it. Camredeem has always worked for me. He could be just trying to get your outside contact info. I would just tell him that's not allowed, which it isn't.

You can still get regulars. I still get them every shift. Most of the new girls usually don't last. That's why it's important to find your niche. You don't have to go as far as getting a penis but but I'm happy I still have mine. Girls with the best of both worlds rock ;D

RE: regulars and doing well. I'm not a huge earner but I think I do decently on SM pretty consistently.

It's not just regulars. Those have a shelf life anyway, so I would be hesitant to depend on them. My income is probably 75% new guys now because I haven't been good at keeping a schedule. The best thing I did was a.) getting better equipment/experimenting with my appearance and b.) experimenting with hours. I've been trying out new time slots and it was DEAD at certain times. But with the same hustle I can do really well at other times soo yeah.

I wouldn't keep trying SM or any site if you have honestly tried different strategies and it's not working out for a few months. I have a friend who SUCKED at camming, like could barely make minimum wage but she is out-earning me in phone sex and clip sales. But she'd still be scraping along if she tried to stick with something that wasn't working for her.

its the worst camsite ever unless ur a size zero european model and i mean like a pro model who has professional pix - their quality standards for the thumbshots are too high a lot of cam girls cant get approved with c920 shots and i wasn't approved even with professional pix from my collection of old escort photos and ur ok with working for $1 a min @ 29 % and having that shaven off for ridiculous fines and reasons beyond ur control

I hook my laptop to my tv to the chat room is on it and my laptop screen shows me the encoder that way I can always read the chat and respond.

In response to this you can get hd tv's for very cheap prices now. I got a 22inch HD tv for $50 at a pawn shop. And as it turned out I had 3 HDMI cables unused at my house. Before you go to bestbuy to get one look in your cable/junk drawer to see if you have one already. More than likely you do already have an HDMI cable to hook from your laptop or desktop to the tv. Use it as a bigger screen. Not necessarily the best idea if you are split camming because it wears down on your cpu. But it works. Behind the scenes in my cam room looks like the Matrix.

I was doing really good at SM would it make a difference if I just re open a new account with them start fresh?

My friend said the guys don't know me well yet.. and I was inconsistent on my schedule a lot of times which ruined my stable flow of pvts/exclusives when I did start I was banking... Also is it just dead around this time of year?

I signed up for Clips4sale still need to get that going.. I am signed up for chaturbate and MFC but I for some reason have trouble with mastering the countdown goals.. I really need to bank again somehow.. I hate sites that are bad with chargebacks because it has happened to me.. and It sucks that SM gives only 35%

Have a lot of guys favorited you on SM?Have you referred anyone with your cammodels link? You will lose those things plus ratings, tags and comments if you make a new account so think of that. It might be better off to just stick to a consistent schedule and keep trying on your current account hun

Edit: I actually think Vanessa or Liz can move favs to the new account but you will lose everything else.

its the worst camsite ever unless ur a size zero european model and i mean like a pro model who has professional pix - their quality standards for the thumbshots are too high a lot of cam girls cant get approved with c920 shots and i wasn't approved even with professional pix from my collection of old escort photos and ur ok with working for $1 a min @ 29 % and having that shaven off for ridiculous fines and reasons beyond ur control

Thanks. I needed some extra reasons not to work LJ. I've been thinking about it for the longest time and I've been signed up since January, but can't bring myself to log on - and I've yet to have photos approved. I don't think any cam shots are approved - they have to be digital photos... but the biggest turn off for me is not having the option of going silent and losing 5% if I do.

How does everyone fare from customers who sign up under your cammodels link? Is there much passive income from them spending on others? I know what the % is, just wondering what people's actual experiences are, whether you notice the extra income or whether it's peanuts.

I think it really depends.... I have somehow managed to land 3 "whales" on my cammodels link, who don't spend much on me but spend thousands on other girls. Depending on the time of the month, I make anywhere from a few bucks to $500 in a single week off these guys.

When I was using the camyourway website, I was able to see that my single highest money maker on Streamate is a guy who signed up through my cammodels link and has spent less than $200 on me personally, yet has brought me in thousands of dollars in income.

It's worth putting the link out there. The only place I use mine is twitter.

RE: regulars and doing well. I'm not a huge earner but I think I do decently on SM pretty consistently.

It's not just regulars. Those have a shelf life anyway, so I would be hesitant to depend on them. My income is probably 75% new guys now because I haven't been good at keeping a schedule. The best thing I did was a.) getting better equipment/experimenting with my appearance and b.) experimenting with hours. I've been trying out new time slots and it was DEAD at certain times. But with the same hustle I can do really well at other times soo yeah.

I wouldn't keep trying SM or any site if you have honestly tried different strategies and it's not working out for a few months. I have a friend who SUCKED at camming, like could barely make minimum wage but she is out-earning me in phone sex and clip sales. But she'd still be scraping along if she tried to stick with something that wasn't working for her.

I do agree regulars are important but they definitely do have shelf lives. They typically don't last forever. I think it's more important to have regulars if you don't have good placement on the site.

If you are on the first page you can get a lot of traffic and money from new guys or guys who see you once or twice and disappear forever. Most of my money comes from non-regulars. I MIGHT see one or two regulars per night, some nights I don't get any regulars coming in.

Honestly, I think it's just a matter of appealing to a large audience, unless you are super fetish/niche specific. You have to be someone that a lot of average guys are attracted to. I have found that that "someone" is either supermodel hot with fake tits and blonde hair, or the girl next door. The girl next door wins, seriously. But unfortunately not everyone fits into that large audience appeal.

Actually..... it depends on who you ask.

I'm a size 8 white girl definitely not a sexy european lol and I make an ok amount split camming. They approved my c920 pics for my profile as well as my pro pics. It's also 30% and goes higher the more you earn.

I say give it a try for yourself and see how you like it. I would have never tired it if I stuck to what everyone on here says... and like I said I make an ok chunk of change splitting with it. ;)
