Thank you for responding. So does the model make £1.24 per minute if she charges $5.99 per minute? I think I may be confusing myself.


^The UK model sets her rates in $ and gets paid the percentage of the $ rate. If a guy pays in £ then he will pay the converted amount of the dollar rate (ie he still pays the dollar rate set) and the girl still gets the percentage of the $. Unlike IML, SM doesn't overcharge/underpay based on converted amounts.


I have question about being in the UK working SM: If you have your rate set at say $5.99 USD 35% your part = $2.09 per minute. is the conversion 1.24 gbp? OR when a UK model sets their rate men are paying her in GBP from the beginning instead of USD? The reason I ask is I have noticed the conversion already in place for the customers when they tip. And wondered if I would be coming out with less or more when I visit?

^^ It doesn't matter where the customers live and what currency they use. When they purchase credits on SM it's all in USD. I'm sure all their payouts are in USD too. They would send USD to all Payoneer accounts too. I have an Australian address for my Payoneer card, but it's still in USD. The currency exchange occurs when a person uses their Payoneer card, wherever that happens to be.

Do the UK girls get 30% or 35%?

Yeah, $5.99 per min = £3.57, and we get 35% of £3.57, which is £1.24 per min.

Guys can tip in their own currency. So a UK user could tip £5, French user could tip 5EUR (lol why doesn't my laptop have the symbol!?) and SM will convert it into dollars when adding it to your earnings. But your prv & excl rates are just flat, dollar rates.

When people spend on me on SM, I get dollars. Sm sends dollars to Payoneer, who then put pounds into my bank account (global bank transfer).

You're not even allowed to say "search me" "or google me" Someone here stated that they got a suspension for doing that. Most guys know how to find you. Some do Some dont. Just use the same name on site as your twitter and they will find you if they want to.

Which is SOOOOOO stupid because I have seen many models have "google me" or "search me" in their profile descriptions which have to be approved by support.

I am a former MFC and AW model and looking to replace MFC for SM. I got all my account set up, and I can't use an external encoder because my laptop doesn't seem to have the requirements needed, can I still be successful on SM without the encoder?

Kaii
04-27-2014, 03:21 AM
It all depends on what you think by "successful". But the encoder is almost a must! You can always work without the encoder until you have money to buy a cheap laptop (for $500/600 you will have one with i7 and enough RAM).

By the ways ladies, how much ram you have on your computer? I've been thinking on getting another RAM card. Well, I also work with i5 and it works great so far, it's actually more about the clock rate and the Ghz than anything else.

Thanks for your help :) Maybe its's best to build up funds from AW/MFC to get an up to date laptop with i7 and then start on SM.

by the way, for all those who are using an i5 processor try this out!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9nfpaiUCy0 that will boost your clock speed.

forget about it if you have a HP or Sony... If you have a lenovo for instance or a good computer that never heats up, then go on!

Does anyone know what "Gold Chat Party" is. It was mentioned in a quote by MissEgo in post # 11802

("- To keep excitement in ur free chat, play some games with the customers, dance to ur fav music, enable Gold-Chat Party (if u have it)".

I do fine without the encoder, but as you say, fine by me could be lousy for another. My limiting factor is internet speed as I split to many sites and I'm not going to dedicate my bandwidth to that pig of a (freeware) encoder SM uses. if they could get a decent auto encoder like JCI on AW, that would be amazing, but they don't want to spend money on that.

Lucky you! How much do you pay for the global bank transfer? You may want to explore the option of getting your own free Payoneer card ($2 per month maintenance fee) so you can be in control of your own withdrawals. It varies, but my loading fee from SM is $2 (2 days) or $5 (2 hours). I eliminate ATM fees and lousy exchange rate fees imposed by our local banks by using my card for all my grocery and other shopping. When you purchase with it you get the spot Mastercard exchange rate, which is probably the rate you get when you use the Payoneer global bank transfer.

8 GB of ram, i7. Works great since I switched to Intel. I had a customized desktop that was new and gaming-fast, but SM started being odd for me with it (choppy, blurry feed, low bitrate) so I got this new laptop, which is a lot more handy for camming when I want to host in different places in my studio (admittedly not very often)

I had the card, but I consider it to be an accounting complication, plus all the different fees, only being able to use certain ATMs, needing to work out how many Pounds I can take out before I make a withdrawal, no chip and pin, fuck all that shit! I pay $3 per global transfer transaction, regardless of the amount being paid in. It's a very quick and efficient way of doing things, and it's in my bank every Tuesday (sometimes Monday) with the exception of US bank holidays holding it up. I would definitely recommend global over the card.

^^Thanks, I'll have to look into that option.

Do you set that up from your SM payment profile? $3? What is the minimum payout using that option?

I know what you mean about "no chip". That made my card very limited with regards to taking money out at a money changer or bank.

thank you for your imput here sophia :)

i aaaalways wanted a PC for customized fro gaming and poker. Weird it didnt wirk well for camming :S :S You can decide what program cpu has to focus though, but that sounds weird. I know about to improve fps, but what about bitrate? How do you improve that? Which is the minimum recommended by SM 800?

What's your laptop's brand if i may ask?

Kaii, I had a AMD computer that was set for gaming/video (I don't do gaming but told the guy I needed the fastest and for video, great video card etc.) It worked terrific on SM until it didn't, a couple of months ago. Now my bitrate is usually steady around 800 or so. Rarely I see it drop for a moment. It's a Lenovo with Windows 8, loving it :) How have you heard to improve fps? I know you can set it in the Encoder, is that all? What is your normal bitrate? I don't know the recommended but I know a high one is good because it helps your placement, based on what I've seen of the previewed placement analysis tool thingie. I know the upload has to be a minimum of .6 mbps to stream in HD.

This is me being picky... I have a lenovo (so much love) i5 which with 4gm of ram. I strong internet (100upload 10download) and always wired. Yes, I modified the fps with the encoder bc with SM recommendations it didn't work. I focus my cpu right to the encoder and chrome. I stay at 800 to but sometimes it goes lower so i didnt know i jsut guessed... I will do some research though. Because that's the thing, if you're laptop is working above its limitations you're guys the site might not work well enough and if you do lower the you're streaming isn't as good as it can be and it's affecting you placement. I've worked it to be close to front page with all of that and had low traffic and guys getting kicked out all the day and the other day had no problems at all... So i'm just trying to know what's wrong.

EDIT: Sorry for the grammar... I'm extremely sleep deprived.

I was initially on the card for several sites when they brought out the global transfer. I just asked Nissim (Payoneer rep) (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/member.php?90140-Nissim-Payoneer) and after a few emails it was switched to bank transfer.

edit: The minimum payout on Sm for using it is $100.

yeah i didnt watch the vid but im pretty sure that was a vid on how to overclock ur comp. with overclocking you can pretty much turn an i5 into an i7 but i wouldnt recommended anybody doing that unless they really know what theyre doing and have a liquid cooler system in their rig because it makes ur processor extremely hot and you can ruin ur processor because its too hot from the over clocking . overclocking makes ur processor work harder then its supposed to witch is why it will get hotter then ur built in fan can probably cool it down to safe levels

Girls, if you have i7 it works too :) we tend to believe i7 is better (and it can be in sooo many ways) but the two processors have different fuctions :)

I might be posting this in the wrong thread though :/ is there any thread for learning how to improve your PC perfomance? Or something similar?

Thank you!

My mouth just dropped wide open when I just read a custie's email. He told me that if one of us charges $0 tip for a gold show that everyone present in the room when the countdown ends gets to be in the show! Is this true??? I was under the assumption that they had to tip at least $1 to watch a gold show. Although I always set it at $5 and only do like 2 gold shows a shift I did not know this!! Is he wack or is this true??

(I did a search and it didn't come up)

Today I was offered a tv show for the first time in forever (I was starting to think that they stopped offering me them completely, lol) and they offered an amount that's only half of what I start my shows at, and for a longer show, too. What are they basing their numbers off of? I've exceeded the goals they gave me in the past and I know my average is well past what they were offering today. I also don't understand why they didn't offer one for so long, since I've been in party chat and have been doing well with gold shows.

In any case, I declined it because it seemed really unfair. I'd rather just reach a higher goal myself.

yeah i didnt watch the vid but im pretty sure that was a vid on how to overclock ur comp. with overclocking you can pretty much turn an i5 into an i7 but i wouldnt recommended anybody doing that unless they really know what theyre doing and have a liquid cooler system in their rig because it makes ur processor extremely hot and you can ruin ur processor because its too hot from the over clocking . overclocking makes ur processor work harder then its supposed to witch is why it will get hotter then ur built in fan can probably cool it down to safe levels

Oops Snowy, i didnt see your post. You're totally right about this, but what do you mean my cool it down?

I'm assuming you've never actually seen a processor chip out of a computer before
This is a processor chip the bumpy side snaps into a computers motherboard and gets hot when its on. If it gets too hot you can permanently damage them because if they get too hot you can melt the silicon circuitry and break them .

Everyone please pray that the SM gods (or fairies or unicorns or whatever pulls the strings w/ registration) approve my new account ASAP because today I've been hit with an unexpected bill and it's a whopper. Ty in advance.

I Just joined SM A few days ago Found these tips to be helpful. Although, I haven't had my first chat yet i feel like there is something missing. Bought a new camera with mic, new wireless keyboard, 4 bright colored outfits, I have 4 toys. do you think this is enough to keep their attention for now. would this be enough to start the show??

NOPE! You need a sex swing and then you will be good to go. Finally! Just kidding. You are more than prepared. You just have to show up to the party.

Don't panic. The categories are still there, just in a dropdown at the top of the page. It's red and located at the top left.

It's working for me... As usual, I'm sure there will be glitches. Maybe it's intended to be more ipad-friendly this way? It certainly looks a bit sleeker...

Streamate now has an app-based homepage. I guess they really want to take it in the mobile direction. We don't have text profiles, tags, or comments on mobile devices though.

Streamate is also trying really hard to push party chat. It now has its own category that is different from gold shows.

Hey it looks nice!! I like how when you scroll down you can actually *see* model pics. It's going to push streamate in the right direction tbh. Force girls to take nicer, higher quality images and have higher resolution cams. I like it.

Wait, does that mean that if they're on a mobile device, they CAN'T read our profile?
That's kind of a problem. When they jump into private and demand anal, they could be justifiably pissed that you don't do anal, since they didn't have a profile there to tell them what you do and don't do...

It reminds me of chaturbate kinda. Except the search and sort is still there. I don't hate it but if it makes it easier on mobile devices then I'm all for it. But just now I logged into my customer account and my favorites weren't there?
