Sorry if I missed this, but has anyone else had an issue with the break button? I've hit it several times, only to return with my chat window totally open. I have no idea what's going on.
No, my break button works fine. HOWEVER, 3 customers in row said they got thrown out of our private. :-(

I forgot, yesterday I had a guy get thrown out of exclusive and the message came up at his side saying that you can't watch two performers at once. He wasn't trying to!

The main site is glitchy and slow for me from a customer POV, but it might be because I'm uploading a fuckload of videos.
Streamate, please get your shit together by Wednesday when I have a whole day to cam. It's my son's birthday soon.

This is something you might not have thought about at all.. Did you change your mouse settings or get a new one that makes it click faster than usual??
other than that I offer not much help to your dilemma but sometimes it is your hardware you are using that causes these problems that you think are software related.

I always check to see that the break countdown has started :/ I even sat in front of it the third time until I had nine minutes left.
I also had multiple customers who tried to go to private and then got kicked out.

Streamate was glitchy as fuck for me today. My chat log was all jacked up. I couldn't read customer names and it wasn't scrolling, so I missed a bunch of things people said and they thought I was ignoring them and left. I had at least 3 guys try to take me exclusive and weren't able to. I also had a weird thing where I was in an exclusive with someone and during the show it said (another user name) has left chat.

I didnt think you were yelling at me. I too don't understand the Twitter drama. If someone bothered me on there I would just block them and move on.
I find that it is not so much the watching, it's that people can't seem to keep shit INSIDE. "Saw someone do something I don't like? Gonna bitch about it on twitter where everyone can see how mad I am" Instead of keeping it private/moving on.

Chain reactions/Barbara Streisand effect yo. I really don't understand how anyone can't expect drama when they post shit. I just don't! If they just didn't post shit then nothing would get started. It's amazing how that works!
(And I'm def not yelling at you Jane! I'm feeling sassy this morning because I'm cranky from missing so much work. <3)

After my afternoon shift I personally suggest that you very very sweetly and politely ask your members for nice tags. Maybe suggest they'll get a cute pic in your inbox if they do so and PM you after with the tag they added. Tags may not do anything to boost your placement but it makes you searchable by people who are interested in your show! If you have a special expertise or feature guaranteed guys will be looking up those keywords and they may even pick you as their new favorite model =D. After a nice customer added a bunch of tags for me I started getting at least 15% more traffic right away. Is that newbie stuff? I just wanted to add to the convo.
Also, I love gold shows. Not only does it give me a coherent goal to work towards, some guys are drawn by the simple fact that you have a gold show going, and then get engaged by you, and take you private if you don't meet your goal... or simply wait so they can have you to themselves, I'd say that happens at least half the GS I do. I do put a fair amount of work into teasing in my GS though, booty poppin and flashing for my pledgers. Sometimes make it look like I'm touching myself out of view from the camera with a cheeky smile. Effing love gold shows.

No. ABigNerd is right, you get ten minutes and after that it will disconnect you from the site if you don't come back out of break.

^^ Thanks! I just emailed customer support. I find it really weird that they have so many features I wouldn't even know about unless I heard about them on here - and you have to ask for them.
A couple of weeks ago they gave me block sessions after I asked for them. They're working out well too.
I hope they give me this break button. It will allow me to do short sessions on other sites while staying connected.

Hey girls!.. I know this is kinda a stupid question to ask since I been on there so long.. but how do you set up a voyeur show??? some of you talk about how you do nonstop voyeur shows when you dont want regular shows.. Do you put a certain goal?? what is the time you put how much is the buy in... do you ever leave your voyeur gold shows to go to the bathroom or get a drink?? yea I just need the DEETS!.. thanks
Dulce

Are you allowed to do gold shows without audio? When I first got gold shows years ago, I know audio was a requirement, but is it something you can get away with without getting suspended?
BlueBunny
05-13-2014, 10:27 AM
I think I did one voyeur show without audio and nothing happened to me, but idk if SM would have beef with that if done all the time. As for voyeur show, if I run one I plan to be visible on cam the whole time. Idk if there are consequences to disappearing briefly. Custies may complain if the show description leads them to believe they are to see a human on the other side. As for how to start one, just set up a goldshow like you would normally as far as total amount, buy in, and length of show, and start the count down clock at one minute. This will pop up the warning that money goal has not be reached and if you want to start the show anyway. Start show and you are in it, that is if you don't want to take the time to sell the GS in free. As far as amounts, idk. I guess I would stick to what GS go for usually. I have done 3$ buy in but I am no expert at this and don't care for GS.

So last week I emailed to have my rates set where I could change them and raise them set perm to max of 14.99.lol today I got a message that I had achieved a level where I could raise my rates.. woohoo... now the max is at 9.99 ? wtf?
temptingmodel
05-13-2014, 02:23 PM
its a level thing... next will be 14.99 then 19.99 that is how all of us oldies had been introduced. Its a level up type of deal.
^^^ level 1
level 2 is 9.99
level 3 14.99
level 4 19.99
I say levels bc that is basically what it is.

My first level was 4.99, now it's 7.99.
I don't really care as I will never need those rates. I'm quite content to slum it at bargain basement prices.:D
Just got my pause button added less than 12 hours after requesting it.
I asked them why I only get 30% commission and they totally dodged my question stating that I can raise my rates and make extra commission with the cammodel link program. :-[ So that's what I have to do - compensate for a lower commission by raising my rates.
They obviously don't like answering that question. I replied asking them again ;D

OH!!! I WOULD EMAIL AND ASK WHY IT WAS DROPPED. Im sorry I misread. They did change the site a lot maybe it was accidental, just write them and ask why you had been dropped from 14.99 to 9.99

Usually bc support doesn't deal with models and studios, I know you are not in one but support has to dig for this information. I bet they assume your in a studio. Did you mention your location and that is why you are asking?

^^ They know I'm not in a studio. I wasn't aware I was getting a lower rate until I started reading this thread and all the ladies were complaining about 35% LOL.
I think it's a reasonable question. I've left it until now because I have 3 months of solid work behind me and they can see I'm a hard worker.
They're probably scratching their heads to think of a way to answer it. Their first attempt was a total dodge. Let's see what they come up with next.

So I'm just starting out on SM (I've been using CB but someone advised me to use something better lol!!) and some guy comes in on free chat and it says that he started an exclusive chat... do i get paid for that? I'm not seeing that I made anything from my time with him on my "earning"!! I think I might have been scammed! Is there like a master post that explains all the diff chats (free, guest, private, exclusive, etc?) and how the pay works, how I'll know I'm in whatever chat...
SaraLaughs
05-13-2014, 04:27 PM
You should get a dropdown as soon as he enters paid chat, the border is red vs the black of free chat. Otherwise... sometimes it takes a minute or two for my earnings to show up? Hope you get it figured out :(

wow 3 months?? I thought you were on there for years!!... it's like an animal that I have never seen before ..I joined in 2009... only started to figure it all out in 2012... late bloomer I guess. thought you were on there for a long time. I mean, in my career.. it's like slaying a dragon.. I keep crossing my fingers wondering how long it will last, the last time I felt like this was with IMLIVE in the beginning when the site was only 6 months old... I am concerned with this new layout it is their demise and we should be on the look out for the next big site.. I hope not.. with all the crap and the trolls, the free loaders etc etc ... I have never liked any site more than SM...in all my 11 1/2 yrs.. so let's pray for the best.

^^ I've been working on Asian sites from 2005. They always paid the bills and paid 50%, which included very good customer service, free money transfer, no charge backs and instant communication with the site owner, so suffice to say I was very content... until the traffic started dropping like a stone.
Forced to find other options, I had a look at Streamate and some others (joined 7 new ones this year), but 30% didn't appeal at all. I begrudgingly gave it ago starting 2nd week of February and I've been pleasantly surprised with the outcome. What I expected would only be an auxiliary site became my main income source.
Anyway, that's how I became a pest on this thread.;D Allow me to thank everyone for all the valuable information which is unobtainable from customer service, and an apology to anyone I have offended so far (and anyone I'm yet to offend :-[). I'll try my best to be a good girl.

I'm still new and have done less than 10 sessions so far. I've picked up a couple regulars, one being a guy that's pulled me into exc 4 of the last 5 times I've been on. For the most part he just wants to chit chat with me still mostly clothed - best possible scenario. The thing is, he always has a different screen name. Even the couple of times he ran out of tokens or the cam froze, when he came back soon after he again had a different name.
I told him he should keep the same name so I will know who he is, but his response was that he always tells me, which is true. He does c2c and isn't trying to be secretive. Bottom line... it's just weirding me out. Any thoughts as to why he is constantly changing his name?
JaneBurgess

I would be careful because a lot of scammers will use different names and then do chargebacks. If you're worried ask the cam site so they can check him out.

Okay. I know it's the "time of year" and all, but seriously, is traffic ridiculously shitty for ANYONE else? I can't pay my bills, I still to the SM Camgirl Bible and it's just terrible. If I'm logged in for three hours and have like two shows I can't justify staying on for more. It's been unbelievable, and their website sucks.

If someone requests an exclusive session, you will get a pop up asking you to accept it. If you didn't get one, you most likely got scammed. But it could also be a glitch. Streamate has those from time to time.
Free chat is always in the bottom chat screen and all private sessions take place in the top chat screen.

I had a customer when I just started who also constantly changed his name - during the first 2 weeks I worked. He claimed he had many credit cards he had to spend with Streamate - it was his job and he had a boss. He didn't ask me for any money share which is what I would expect if it was credit card fraud. I had no idea what to make of this, but I reported his first name to customer service as I was very concerned about chargebacks. Could it be some kind of sophisticated money laundering scheme? I won't go into details or make accusations, but use your imagination.
Theoretically, they could do very well picking on brand new models who are grateful for the business but wouldn't have a clue what is going on or question it.
