View Full Version : The Streamate Thread
And my guess is the rest of this week will suck as they all spent their $$ elsewhere, plus this is rent week. Stripping was NEVER good for me when a holiday weekend fell on rent week. And of course the 1st of next month they spent the rent $$ so that week will suck for most of us. The ladies that have name brands or a good following will still do ok. And then there are those exquisite creatures that are so stunning they could roll around in a pile of rubbish and still make bank. The ladies that are so HOT they make a straight chick feel gay. LOL

(edit)
Some asshat came in my free chat and posted the above it is a video of a girl on sm I think.
I was immediately taken exclu as soon as he posted it and could not report or ban his ass what could this be?
Maybe he is recruiting a studio girl or showing us he records us?
If it it is a studio they should not be stealing traffic that is so tacky.
As to the slowness sm does get slow for all of us but I have never not made my goal even having to stick it out ten hours to do it stay on no matter what u will get it get favorites ask for them to add u as much as u can leave ADD ME in the box on ur stream page. I still get new guys my average has dropped but it is my fault for not being consistent. If I work I will get my goal if I put the time in sometimes I have sat for 5 hours with 30 bucks and 3 hours with nothing but it will pay off it will even out one day u may make 5 the next 500.
I find if u do the time sm pays the crime lmao .
But seriously I think anyone can do it it may pain u as it does me to sit ten hours but if u want money u have to work and be on to get it if ten hours isnt ur thing there are other sites and ways but for me ten hours means food and bills.
I can also work some days and make my goal in 50 minutes just depends also be nice to ur custies and they will spend :)
I wouldn't have made my goal yesterday if it wasn't for my other 3 sites. I would never sit on SM and just hope for the best. Having said that, it wasn't just a slow day, it was the absolute worst since I've started on SM.

Aww sorry tropo :(
I don't really hope for the best I mean I do in a way want myself to good and want to definitely make good for the day but I just go with it and It has never failed for me like I said if it is slow and u put in the time u may just get ur goal I always have the longest oi have worked for my goal was 12 hrs and even then I went over goal at the end I guess some do good some just do okay others do bad but no matter what I think we all can say sm is a good site or else we wouldn't be on this thread right? Some disagree that's okay but I love sm and I always will as long as it does not leave me lol. Sm never divorce me boo I loveee u.
Trop it gets better u have done good before :) I have seen u post it :) U will make it boo :)

^^ I'm just like you... always make my minimum goal, but these days I stream to 4 sites at once to achieve it. SM is usually the most consistent of the 4. I used to stream to just one site - did that for many years, but I feel these days it leaves me too vulnerable to bad days on any one site compared to streaming to many. The longest I've streamed to make my goal is 15 hours. Last weekend I did a 14 hour stint, but bad internet cost me about 3 hours - I don't give up easy LOL.

Hopefully u can go back to one site more sites make it easier but in a way one site to put all ur energy on is good as well.
I hope things get better. At least u have those extra sites too. I should be like u because if sm leaves I am stuck lol. Until I find something similar.

If you haven't already, you might want to look into aw. You can keep it on no free chat mode and get pop-ins while you're busy with privates on other sites. It's one site where I find that free chat doesn't work, so it just sits in the background making you extra money without interfering with your sm. You can have some great nights on there despite it being a low traffic site. I hear that American girls can do really well on there as the UK guys dig them LOL.

Hopefully they can fix that but they suspended my account until I give them the proper id and I can't. I wish there were more non free chat sites though.

I did over 20 hours on just SM on Friday and yesterday. I do what needs to be done, because bills are due, and nobody but me pays them. I get through it by taking breaks in between, or doing a voyeur shows as well. even though I'm beyond burnt out today, I still managed to make my soft goal just now only being on about an hour.

I think something drastic needs to happen tho IMO i dont think the low payout and depending on the white labels isnt working right now. I think they need to give us a bigger percent and drop the white labels or make advertising guidelines for them because the way theyre doing it now isnt working and its effecting us performers that dont have a loyal fanbase. I could tuff it out i suppose and build up and it may take awhile but why should i when i can just work harder or as hard as i would on sm promoting sites that pay more and PSO is doing so well for me?
Why would dropping white labels be a thing that should happen? The white label sites are what brings in a lot of traffic. We don't lose a percentage due to white labels. If anything, getting rid of all white labels would get rid of a huge chunk of traffic. That just wouldn't make any logical sense.
I complain that it's been slow but the truth is I still make way, way more on SM than I can on any other pay per minute site. They are still the highest converting private based site, hands down. And they don't like losing out on money either, so I imagine it won't stay slow forever.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with geoblock? I unchecked all my blocks weeks ago but they are still in place. When I contact SM they say it's a programming issue and give me a complete run around. I'm told there's several of us but with the way SM treats us, I wonder if it's just me?

Can I ask what all your daily goals are? It's just crazy to me that it would take 15 hours to get there...at that point camming doesn't even sound that lucrative, but maybe my daily goal is crazy low.

Well fucking A...
I took a FANTASTIC photo of my tits with one of my fav plush toys between them.
I submitted it to be used my profile photos and it was rejected for the reason of "inappropriate content"
I asked for clarification because tits are legal ... I can't imagine it is a product licensing issue or "label"
Support sent me a link to the site rules....um yeah dumb ass, that told me nothing. There are girls with superheroes, Hello Kitty, liquor advertisements and this particular plushie isn't THAT recognisable unless you really look closely...and boobs aren't against the rules.
Any guesses on what triggered the fascist rejection?

We all know that I complain about Streamate's bad coding choices like a mofo, but I am completely with SarahTime on this. SM isn't going anywhere. They have enough traffic and a strong enough brand name that once they get smart enough to realize that they are leaking money they will make corrections to stop that shit.
I know I will never quit SM. I've just made it a lower priority egg in my basket right now. Once things turn around then I'll do what any smart camgirl does.
I will follow the money. ;)

They have rejected my ID type. Even though on the ID website, it says its government issued ect...

My goal used to be 100 it is now 200 and I stay on 40 hours if needed to get it cause I have bills n shit :)

I sometimes think it's tacky to talk about how much money I'm making and I question others who boast a lot. But it does help to know what the goals are when I read about people being online for hours upon hours. Sometimes it's difficult to fathom when there is no dollar amount mentioned?
As for whitelabels they do drive traffic to you. I just wish we could be alerted when one of them decides to promote you. A few months ago I started getting favorites up in the 1000's out of no where. I thought maybe SM had finally updated them from over the years? But then a few guys in the room told me they saw me on something like "Fuck A Fat Chick" :O Sadly all those favorites didn't really convert to sales. Maybe they will over time?

Getting back on SM today...I have let it slip big time so I'm going to lower my rates way down just to start building up a client base again...I hope that that works. I will raise the rate once things go well again, this is just a temporary measure to get started again. Not sure if this is a good strategy?

Thanks! I know people don't like to talk about how much they make, and I don't blame them, I don't either. I've just read so many posts lately about goals that are taking upwards of 8 hours to make, and I know I can't stay on for more than 4 hours straight, max. I couldn't tell if these people had goals like $1000+ a day. My goal is 200/day as well, with 100/day minimum if I have too much else to do (in the interest of full disclosure), but I only get a few hours to get on at a time.

I bet 1K it was not the model. It was a customer. Only shitty models practice this and they will be eaten alive.. I had one model troll my room, her husband. All you have to do is report to SM and they are magically banished.

THIS!!! No one is going to buy her vid because the link was posted in your room for all to see. IMO, this is my safe haven, SW, I do not want my vids etc on here. I am sure this model would not be happy about someone linking her vid in your room. You can also jot down the name of the user and report them to SM. I know some names are generic but I reported this way once and poof the troll was gone.
