^^this is my hell
I am hooked on soccer. I notice a lot of customers love it as well. When asked what Im watching and say soccer suddenly the room turned into a sports bar.
It is soccer , lax, baseball season and many others as well. My customers love soccer.
Ugh, I have lots of European fans too. I made about 25-40% less than my average this week. Bah.

I have no idea what was up on SM last night but it seemed like all the crazies were hanging out in my room. Lots of guys seemed new, too. A couple of guys were asking me questions like I was tech support. I had my first Vore (nice guy, actually, that was kind of fun, but I wish I'd know about that one so I could have been prepared, but I think it went okay), and then a ton of guys would pop into my room all "show vagina". Hi, this ain't MFC and you ain't getting to see that in guest chat for free, thanks. I was grateful to have a regular come rescue me from the asylum, though that guy is an entirely different story.

^^^ I really dont get this, how can they give such an answer when SM is all about GOLD - Gold shows so TIPS now a days? Means u cant ask for more gold than the buy in for a gold show for example? How about models asking for gold when they sell their pics/ vids sets? How about telling a member while in pvt that if he enjoyed the show he can give some gold as an appreciation for the service he received? It does not make sense to me, anoncamgirl, can u tell us what u wrote there in ur profile that made them reject it? not the exact wording but the idea.
I really wish I had saved it. It said something to the effect of--
"Please tip if you would like me to flash my boobies, ass, or feet for 30 seconds. If you would like to see them for longer, please take me private or exclusive! Feel free to ask me how much requests are."

^^^ Dont know really, maybe they dont want us to mention we expect tips/ gold for our services?! You can keep the money aspect off ur profile page & write it in Room topic? That's how i do it, my profile is about the shows i offer but says nothing about money, gold, tips, these info i put in room topic and preset text for my room, when guys ask me to show stuff i paste the preset message for what to tip or tell them to read room topic above.

I second this whole heartedly lol Today wasn't as bad but it's seems like it's gonna be a slow night - been on for over an hour and barely had any chatters, let alone privates.

Yeah if they are going to do that I'd like it if they would just completely do away with tips. I would rather them be unable to tip in free chat and be forced to go private if they want to see anything.
RedAlice
05-06-2014, 12:09 AM
I think it's because tips are supposed to be goodwill, not a payment for a service, and by asking for them in profiles we're taking that illusion away (that free chat is 100% free, tits and ass and twirling included). But in room topics & while we're streaming they don't seem to mind. So no need to worry as long as we keep it off our full profile I guess.

placement tool?

I did a shift I NEVER do on SM, 12-4 am and I was surprised that I had some good private and exclusives. I got an idea to hook my macbook to my TV with an HDMI cord, That way I could run the encoder, see myself and see the chat. It cut out so many distractions and gave me more freedom to position the camera. I was more comfortable and I made a bit o' bank.
Sometimes it pays off to do everything different - just to give it a try.
I'll see if I can repeat the success tonight.

There was some talk here and there about a new feature in the making that lets us analyze the factors that guide our placement. I think it was in the SM Placement thread towards the end? Anyone remember? A few girls got screenshots of what it will be like (I wasn't one of them).

yes they do. Most do at least ..
I would think they worry about their placement as much as anybody, once you reach the top you still have to work to stay there. So I imagine they would as interested in tool as any model. They still have goals to meet just like every other model, and placement isn't permanent.

I don't think it's only available to "top models" but yah, they are top models for a reason and they don't get there over night. They DO have to worry about KEEPING their placement, for sure!

I meant they were only letting top models test it and that it was silly imo because they're already at the top so its kinda moot to have them be the only ones that got it for now. I know top models worry about keeping their placement and worked hard to get where they are.

Yah but several "top models" don't have the feature... I don't think they have given it to "top models" only. There's no evidence to suggest they did.

I think it is nice too, matches the new layout....looks more appealing. Hopefully, we will get more helpful tools now.
I am also hoping that the new changes are the causes of the SLOWNESS now.
I am thankful though that Streamate is still being pretty good to me. Over the past few weeks, I have slowly climbed from 20 something an hour to 30 something+ an hour. So I still have hope!!

Last night I had a bunch of dudes in my room and several requested a GS, I told them to message Streamate support on my behalf to get them enacted (8 5-star ratings and no ratings below, yay), and it WORKED! This morning I woke up to the message that I can now do gold shows. :) So for ladies who are curious, have your guests message support staff and ask for you to be able to do Gold shows, it works.

I'm a TOP Model and I have the ratings review but not the My rankings yet. I check it so often Myself though that I always know where I am lol.
It is earned not given and I do like that we can see how much we are making hourly.
I raised My rates and it's working nicely. Even if I have times of longer time in FREE Chat ( I don't do gold shows very often and only for VIP clients who tip $100+) when you get the guys who truly want shows of quality they are there so don't be afraid to do so.
I hated the layout when they first changed it but now it looks nice and cleaner.
Stay strong ladies now is the time we build up clientele for when it's "busy" season ;)

Hey quick query, I wanna create incentives (like a personalized sexy pic or something) for high tippers during GS. How can I upload media so that only one person will see it? In PM? Can I make a passworded album? Anything?

Maybe, but SM's policy really makes me wonder how much pink is pink. Currently, she's laying back with her cam between her legs, so all the parts of her anatomy are seen, but it's not pink but brown, so must be ok((((

Seriously. The key to success is being positive, surround yourself with positive people, and worrying about ONLY the things that both a.) personally affect you, and b.) that you can personally change and have the authority to change. We don't have the authority to make choices for other people. Otherwise, its pointless IMO and surrounds your brain with negative energy.

Be warned, the sad fact about reporting other camgirls to Streamate is that they have been known to take disciplinary action toward the 'snitch' and let the person who is actually breaking their rules be left alone. :(
This is why I never bother reporting anyone, hell I hardly ever even bother support unless I have too.
I am not in a financial position where I can bite the hand that feeds me right now.

Also another reason why reporting them is a futile attempt is because IF they do get suspended or deactivated, they comeback with a new account. Similar name but with numbers added to the end. Or the name now has a niche word preceding the old. I think they have system on how to work the system. I've even seen girls get "rotated" on different accounts. Unless I see a kid on screen or someone in danger I really wouldn't say anything.
