Make sure you also read all the information that Streanate provides. No Twitter advertising, I'm afraid. Xx

today reminded me of when I first started camming on SM :D
but unfortunately with more errors, which was annoying. BUT THAT'S OKAY! :D because traffic was nice, and paying.
feeling quite hopeful with SM tonight <3

Make sure your twitter and cam names are similar, if not identical, so you can be found easily. :) They'll definitely find you once you've started camming and built up a fan base.

I'm not on SM (don't feel trapped on SM if you don't like it! MFC/Kinklive are great too) much anymore but...I did notice the other day since the layout change I've had higher room counts on average and more paying traffic. Also support seems faster about changing show descriptions and approving comments, so that is good :)
I'm getting one or two glitches a shift, which was what I was getting before the change though so that has not changed.

First day on SM today! I've only been doing MFC (and some other sites, that pretty much sucked) and I had
a very positive experience! Had a lot of privates and exclusives! Although, I really wanted to do a goldshow :/ But I guess I'll have to wait for that.
Maybe this will be "my site" now. MFC have only been dead and pain lately... Gonna give 110 % of myself on SM now!

Glad you like it, welcome to SM :) I've learned-the hard way, as well, that it's the easiest for me to make money on, too. I'm just average size, nothing special, and loathe deepthroat-sorry if TMI-and am amazed I get privates and exclusives having so little to offer. Anal was kinda my only "magic trick" and I was concerned that since so many girls on there do it, I'd just disappear in the crowd.
Also-I really hated the new layout at first. It just seemed so 80's and like someone put it together for a high school computer class project. But there's less issues now and the number of times I've gotten the neverending circle of doom have greatly decreased. So, I guess I'll get over the cosmetic....um....unique design for monetary reasons lol.

Never rely on one cam site, you always need to work a second site. It can be great some weeks and horrible the next.

I am a noob. Well that's obvious because this is my first post. I have been approved for Streamate and I can't wait to get started. So what's stopping me? Nerves. I am completely terrified. Always get this way when trying something new. I have been reading tons and tons of threads so I am not as nervous as when I started out. Anyway just wanted to say hi to everybody. Soo HI!!! :)

True that! I just got way to comfy on MFC, but since I had 19 shitty days (record!) I had enough.
I still use MFC, but it's better to splitcam. I'm also amazed that I've gotten so many privates and exclusive on SM! :)
On mfc, guys can be so cheap... Well, I've only been on SM for 2 days now, but so far so good!

Buy in is the minimum amount a person can tip you to be in your gold show.

05-20-2014, 12:57 PM
It's not working for me either. Whether I hit accept or whether I let the timer tick down their cams don't open, just happened with 2 different guys.
i thought it was just me :-( the guys love c2c i hope they fix it

Hi all! I'm new to everything (sw and camming). I have spent alot of time reading through threads here and feel I am nearly ready to log in to SM for the first time and try my first show (eeeeek). My only problem is that it has been 2 weeks and they still have my payment method of Payoneer as 'pending'. They haven't even given me an option to enter my existing Payoneer details and naturally I don't want to start working when I may not be able to get paid!
I have also been trying to research the option of DailyPay. The thing is that Princess Jenny's site doesn't look like it has been monitored much lately and I have seen she has been banned here too which has set off a million warning bells in my head. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks so much, and nice to meet you all :)

Payoneer: if it's been a few weeks and it's still pending, I would contact Payoneer. There's a rep, called Nissim who posts in the Payoneer thread in the Industry Insight part of the forum. You can also search for him and send him a PM. He's very good.
Regardless, you can still log on and accumulate monies in the meantime! Good luck!! After a point there's only so much reading you can do, you just need to do it! x
Daily Pay: "Princess Jenny" is banned from here but the service is very much alive. I used to use them and never had problems personally. Always got paid. The only reason I stopped using them is that I want all of my money!! This is the site: http://adultworkwebcammers.co.uk/dp/ There's also another newer service that people have had good experiences with, run by a camgirl: http://models.katyboleyn.com/

You'll still get your pay, you just won't get it until payment method has been sorted. It will sit in your account, you won't lose it. Stop bloody procrastinating and just log on! ;) I was absolutely terrified my first time... as soon as you log on you feel better, and after your first private you'll feel very relieved. After a shift you'll wonder why you worried. xxx

hi girls!
i wonder if any of you could tell me if its normal, but since february my revenu on streamate was always up week after week, reaching even a thousand a week on my best week. But since mid april, its totally dead! i can barely make 200 a week lately.
Did this ever happened to you? how did you get out of this situation ?

It happens to most of us at one time or another! Traffic on the site has been weird lately. My advice is to maybe try some new sites (that's what I'm doing :) )

Hi there! I'm also new, but I decided to write them an email regarding gold shows. This is the answer I got back:
"We are currently in process of releasing the gold show feature to qualified accounts in STAGES. In the coming weeks, if you meet the criteria, you should see the gold show function in your account automatically. Criteria minimums include, but are not limited to, 4.5 stars or higher, use of the Hhad ncoder, use of audio and a high stream quality. If these minimums are met, you *should* see gold shows added to your account in coming weeks. Because we are releasing this feature in stages, we ask for your patience.
Please note - we are not the ones that determine Gold Show eligibility. What we do here is let you know the requirements you need to have in place in order to be eligible. The gold show approval system is automated and runs daily, so you will get your gold shows on the same day that you qualify!"

This week on SM has been just awful for me. I was doing so well. Hopefully it's just the Mon-Wed doldrums. It just seems the guys are MUCH cheaper than usual. When I see top girls failing to hit 60G shows it makes me anxious about the site in general.

They gave me gold show status within a few weeks of starting and I stream at 256k, one of the lowest settings. Go figure.
I tried a few gold shows, then decided they're not my thing.

Yep! You can only contact them via SM messaging but can give links to downloads.
