I just had to email them about getting a check reissued to a new address. They got me into my old account and had the reissue done fee-free (hopefully, we'll see when I get the check), but I won't get the check until next week with my last one from that account. At least accounting is awake today, right?

Quick question. Who has schedules on SM? I keep getting clients asking, I hate to be scheduled and miss a day. Was think maybe three guaranteed days a week and rest whatever unsch. Thanks ladies xoxox

I do better when I don't have a schedule. I usually always cam around the same time of day (early/late evening) so I tell them that if they ask. It seems that when I keep an exact schedule they just bother me every day with chit chat.

Same as Solo. I have my scheduled filled out but I don't stick to it. I just keep it filled in because when I am online I'm usually on during the time that my schedule says (early morning-mid afternoon/late nights). When my clients ask when I'm going to be on I unusually say "Probably around this time all week but don't quote me on it. Your best bet is to just save me as a favorite and select get notified when I'm online so that you know exactly when I'm online." I think most of my customers know to just catch me when they can at this point.

For those of you who sell or give away clips for clients... do you host your videos elsewhere, or do you attach them in PM's?

I give them a download link from camredeem.com which lets you create links of your uploaded content. I really like the site. It's pretty simple to use.

Hey cam peeps, streamate support was no help so I figured I'd ask here. I'm streaming with an HD cam (no encoder), I do have audio and have never gotten any complaints form guys that they can't hear me (I make sure to ask if my room ever gets too quiet lol). When I check my ranking breakdown it says that I am not using audio. Its bad enough that I can't stream with the encoder because of technical issues so I don't want the audio thing to affect my placement. Has anyone else experienced this problem or know of the solution. Thanks!

Try playing some music in the background for a few days - it can take a while for the audio thing to pick up that you are using it.

Edited to add a question:
How do you guys feel about the TV shows? I opted in cause I guess why not...just curious what your experiences have been.

Thanks BritishBecky, I already stream with music playing in the background every time I log on (its a must when you cam in with parents in the house lol).

SM occasionally sends me a "you're not streaming audio!" pop-up when I am. My best guess is that it's one of many glitches.

Hi girls!Can anyone help me ?Im new at streamate and learning but...saw this in "my ranking " and I dont get it.
"Streaming in Widescreen (16:9)? No
16:9 Widescreen is the international standard aspect-ratio format required for high-definition (HD) video.If you arent streaming in widescreen, use the HD Encoder. "
Ok so I am using the encoder but not set up in wide screen because of my actual bad lighting,I can not make my 910 look good anymore with the lights I had before so I quit to use them until I get a new cam or new lights.Using less light now does my cam look really dark in wide screen no matter how I play with settings,especially when using zoom.My question is:If I dont set wide screen res is it considered that I am not using encoder?Because that is what I understand from my ranking tab.And if so I will just use normal Hd streaming until I fix my problems as anyway now encoder and aw both at the same time are killing my processor.

Ugh, I got charged for reissuing a check older than 45 days AGAIN. It seems that the people in charge of that don't look at the date before taking money out of your check. I actually pointed out that I shouldn't be charged when I sent the request in the first place. Great, now I have to deal with SM's wonderful support team. SMH >_>

Hello lovely ladies of SM :)
So usually when I do c2c with someone, they hardly ever have sound. BUT, the few times when they DO want to use sound, there is always this terrible distortion on both ends. I'm pretty sure its me because it happens every time. I have tried turning the sound down on the encoder thinking maybe everything was just up too high at the same time. I have also tried switching from webcam to computer microphone, but it hasn't helped. I have emailed support JIC they can help, but haven't heard back yet.
Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it? :/
RaeRae
07-14-2014, 07:43 AM
In my experience, it's the guys' built in mics picking up the sound from their speakers. It happens to me every time a guy uses his mic and doesn't wear headphones at the same time.

Anyone else getting randomly disconnected from SM? I'm getting good traffic and paying dudes for once, so this is obnoxious. It happened last night during a GS countdown and again twice since I logged in 30 minutes ago. I'm not even touching the laptop, so I doubt I'm jarring my C910 and my stream is nice today...
AND FOR FUCK'S SAKE IT JUST DID IT AGAIN AS I'M TYPING THIS. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
Edit: And again. And again. And again on my other computer for good measure. I can't find myself in placement and half of the models pictures/rooms won't load. Anyone else going crazy or should I check my internet? It's weird--everything is normal on my speed tests and other sites...

Well, at least it isn't just me. *Le sigh* I really needed to make money today, too. I've got mega bills to deal with next month. I'll try again when I get off work in two hours.

Try being in classic chat and see how that goes. I usually do classic chat and I have never been disconnected in that option.
When I was using Abobe 3.2 I had issues now and then but since I went back to 3.1 its been pretty good. If you aren't using 3.1 give it a shot and see if it helps.

anyone have any tips for getting guys to stay in your room and want to get privates or tip? i get the guys but thye leave quickly and if they do a private with me it only lasts like 10 minutes tops
Issabelle
07-16-2014, 02:38 AM
^^ Minute men are my cash cows, honestly. I make the bulk of my money in shorter sessions. However, the best thing I've done to make shows last longer is to just slow the fuck down. I tease more. I dance more. I strip slower. When they want something, I'm careful about positioning just right (camera, body, toy, etc) and asking logs of questions. That helps.
The girls here have mentioned that having much higher rates helps, possibly by bringing in guys who aren't spending conscious (i.e. deep wallets) and want the experience to last. I'm skeptical, but I'll try it tomorrow and see what happens. I have my rates set at $5.99/$4.99 now (hate premium chat and prefer exclusive, so cheaper; no peepers--10+ in every show problem for me). I might go up to $7.99/$6.99 tomorrow and see what happens. Can't hurt, right?

I've been doing SM again lately and I agree with slowing down. I am doing way less these days, but making more money than when I used to rip my clothes off in 2 mins. Seems like the less I do the more satisfied they are, which kind of blows my mind.
I mean don't stall forever, but you don't have to "show pussy bb" 2 mins into a show just because they request it. Minute dudes can be good too because they can start like a chain of privates, so that can be nice :)
For rates I can't go too low or too high. At 1.99 I just get abuse hurled at me/no one reads my profile. At 8.99 no one gets shows with me, so somewhere in the middle works best.

Another thing I'd suggest is focusing on fetishes, kinks, and roleplays. Those are usually my longest customers. I have a pretty high rate (7.99/9.99) and I get a fair amount of block sessions and customers over ten minutes (at least on good days). Nine times out of ten those are not normal cum shows. A few of those a day add up to a lot of money.

I do. But I tried looking with my VPN turned on and I disabled the geo-blocking and I looked through the first 500 and didn't find myself (I'm broadcasting and I got to the offline people, I'm just assuming since I'm broadcasting I would be before the offline people:

It takes geo-blocking quite a while to turn off after you disable it. It isn't an immediate thing.

So I just got this message in my SM inbox
"I wanted to give you a heads up that somebody on a underground forum(not gonna say a name or say which site)uploaded some personal/private info about you and according to him some unreleased clips that he refuses to say how he obtained. Just wanted to let you know,and I'm gonna post you the download link. Just to let you know,it wasn't me,so don't even think that. I just wanted to warn you. I don't know if the info he released is true,but that does kinda look like you in that short clip."
I'm def not gonna be booboo the fool and download a random link to my computer from some random. My only response was that I don't open or download links but he's welcome to send me a screemshot via my SM inbox of this so-called content.
Anyone ever gotten this message? Def smells like a trojan

I think someone posted this same or similar message a few pages back. I def think its a scam/virus. It doesn't even make any sense. The "person" isn't going to say a name or which site but they're going to give you a download link. In what world/universe does that make any sense lol.

^^ Crap like that is why I've seriously considered deleting everything off my laptop, reformatting it, and using it only for camming/adult work while relegating my desktop to personal work. If there's nothing of value on the computer (identification wise), then it's easier to stay safe, right? And all of my computers use different passwords and have computer-to-computer connection sharing disabled.

Thanks ladies and I'm with you on that Issabelle, thats definitly the safest bet. Once I get my new laptop it will ONLY be for camming and even with that I think I'm gonna get into resetting my passwords across all my sites every week.

I'm halfway tempted to go so far as to transfer all of my files to my desktop (naked time ones included), delete/reformat my laptop or just go on a crazy deleting spree, and use it only for cam/PSO/sexting sites. No browsing. No facebook. No anything. I'd even go so far as to keep all content on my desktop and upload it direct to sites without signing in and exposing my computer to risks. I want these assholes getting an empty computer if they do to me what I've heard some of the girls in Verified say has happened to them!

I really have nothing of value to add to the thread atm, but after a lot of consideration and research I took the plunge and signed up for Streamate and was approved quicker than expected ( I was hoping for the crimson tide to pass lol). I hope to do my first show very shortly. I just want to thank to the ladies that have contributed and shared their experiences. I look forward to working along side you ladies. =)
