after having no streaming issues for most of the month, my lag today is awful, my cam is freezing, and it goes shot in private. Is there anything I can do to improve this? I tried tampering with the FPS and the kbps, but it's not helping. This gives me major anxiety. My speedtest reads the same as in other days.

eta: it seems everyone is freezing today, looking at other models. or is it me and my computer? but whyyyyy

Does anyone know if you can skype with your internal laptop camera and use your logitec camera at the same time on SM? This is probably a stupid question.. but I thought I'd ask :)

Not a stupid question at all! Probably... depending on your operating system and all. On windows 8.1 skype is a bit strange for me and seems to just choose whatever camera it wants. I'm not sure how to fix it and I'm usually pretty savvy about those things. On another note, if you are using a split cam program, you can use the same camera! :)

My room was soo empty..... I haven't been on since 2 weeks when I only worked one day and it was my first day.....no guest..no members... About 30 ppl came and left instantly.. Which made me curious... Who comes into a room and doesn't even look for a second.. You like them enough to click!!!so I check my stream through my profile and it looks good HD n all .. Then when I come there's guys all of a sudden... Did I trigger a glitch to unglitch??? I am also assuming its slow because I haven't been on..and I'm new ,hoping to build myself up before my new girl status runs out :)


As far as glitches.....on my ipad I can never view girls for long time it will cut me out or it'll never load the camera...even when reloading .Maybe the guys are getting glitches as well on there end....

Just wanted to ask for some advice. I cammed on SM for a few weeks about a month ago and it was ok but was quite slow. I can't use the encoder because my laptop isn't up to standard for it. I am from the UK and SM obviously only give you 35% of earnings.
Which means every $100 they spend you're left with $35 and once the currency exchange is done to GBP that leaves you with £21. That means guys would need to spend $100 an hour with me which is around 20 minutes private each hour.

Is it realistic that guys will spend a $100 an hour....can that be expected for someone who isn't on the first 3 pages?

You need to cam consistently if you want results. Trust me, I've learned that the hard way. Find a time that works for you and try to stick with it. It might help if you raise your rates. Offering fetishes is also good, so familiarizing yourself with a few could really help. Fetish guys tend to be willing to spend more than vanilla guys.

I agree! I've switched my rates to where my exclusives are cheaper than pvts and I like it alot better. WAY less peepers and typically, the higher the rates are the more serious the customer.

I think it is realistic that guys will spend $100 and hour- BUT its better not too calculate what they have to spend, if that makes you feel unsure or sorry for them (to spend that much- I know I had that problem)..
Just set your price to what you are comfortable with (to ask but also to receive for the work you ahve done!)
It is rare but I even had a guy asking me to raise my price as high as possible 19.99 and spend as much time in excl with me that he hit his limit, which was high!

ALSO a lot of guys will never spend 1 hour in pvt/excl, the majority of customers I have spend around 7-10 minutes in pvt/excl...
For me it works to have a higher price so in comparison I dont have to work as much as I would with lower prices.
I tend to think like this: We are giving them the ultimate feeling; to cum. Should be worth a lot now shoudnt it? You are getting them off in whatever way they want (within your limits offcourse), and even if they are only 5 minutes inside, they allready saw me naked and prob even playing (I offer hardcore shows, so depends on what you offer) so I think it is fair to me if they pay 8.99 a minutes (my rate) for that.

So I logged in on SM (today I didn't cam, just wanted to check to see if I had mail and look at some things) and I got a email from SM saying I could raise my rates ( I asked about a week ago) so my cap has risen from 5.99 to 7.99. I'm excited but I'm curious how long/what requirements does it take to get higher than that? Like is it based off of % in paid chat? Ratings? Placement? I have an avg 5 star rating, glowing comments, and 11 unique tags. Does that help? Not make a difference? I've been camming for almost 3 months and have taken 4 weeks off during that span of time ( I'm working on that). I know I still have a lot to learn and I'm happy I can have a $2 a min on my end and still have a $2 difference in exclusive.

Maybe things have changed but there are no requirements. Whenever I want to raise my rates, all I have to do is contact support and ask them to "permanently" raise them! I got the same emails but I am happy where I am. Keep the rates that make you the most money.

Yes, I noticed that, too. Been making like 2/3 of what I usually make a day. It's just gone empty for meexcept for the regulars. I heard about SM doing something to drive more traffic in - now wondering where does the new traffic go. I personally've seen none of it lol.

question about payment, can someone help out really quick?

I should be about to receive my first payment, I cleared the 100 minimum for the first time on the week of Sept 28th.

I'm understanding that payments are delayed for 21 days, so this week I should be paid for that, right? But I also heard payoneer payments come on Fridays, so should I expect payment for this friday, or until the next one?

PLEASE CAMGODDESSES LET IT BE THIS WEEK.

Occasionally I google my cam name just to see what pops up and how searchable I am (aside from the times that I'm looking for pirated videos). I did it this week, and saw myself listed on a number of sites that I didn't recognize right away. I was alarmed, and clicked on several of them, and still didn't recognize them immediately. I was thinking, "Oh shit, wtf!" but on second glance, I could tell that they were SM white labels. It looks like SM is having their white labels redesign the sites so that they are no longer mirror images of SM, and the descriptions aren't the same when you're looking at the listings on Google, either.

This could be really good news. I'm sure most of us remember the time when you could google pretty much anything related to camming, and you'd get pages and pages of SM white labels. Then Google cracked down and stopped displaying white labels, and SM wasn't even on the first page of Google searches anymore. Looks like they're making progress on "tricking" Google into displaying the white labels again, so hopefully the huge amounts of $$ they spend on marketing will be more effective in getting us more traffic.

Here's hoping!

question about payment, can someone help out really quick?

I should be about to receive my first payment, I cleared the 100 minimum for the first time on the week of Sept 28th.

I'm understanding that payments are delayed for 21 days, so this week I should be paid for that, right? But I also heard payoneer payments come on Fridays, so should I expect payment for this friday, or until the next one?

PLEASE CAMGODDESSES LET IT BE THIS WEEK.

If you're on the 3 week delay you should be paid for the week of Sept 28 on Oct 24. If you are doing payoneer it will be in your account Friday Oct 24. If you're doing global bank transfer it will be there Oct 28ish. If you're doing check, being in Mexico I'm not sure but probably sometime the week of Oct 27.

I can't raise mine too high but what I have I am comfortable with and may be pennies to some but for me it is wonderful I made what I usually make for one of my highest shows of the day was the least paying show with new rates. I can say with the actual dividing time online plus hours online I made 38 an hour don't know what it averages now but thats awesome for me :)
I started out at 9 an hout moved to 20 to 25 and sometimes went to 16ish but 38-40 an hour is great for me i dont mind waiting and working :)

Haven't been on today but last night I think I had a significant lag because anytime someone responded to me it seemed super delayed. And people kept saying my cam was freezing during gold shows, but no other complaints of freezing in free or private.

Is there anyone who works on SM that only does softcore stuffs? ie-naked, teasing, foot fetish but no masturbating/toys?

ME! I am a built-in fetish but my shows are super vanilla. I just get naked and show my body. #notoys, #noanal. Maybe a LITTLE masturbation here and there but that's pretty much it. I like to do the least possible with my body.

I didn't have to find it, I was born with it, LOL! I'm a Transsexual (girl with a penis). I make good money for ME. You don't have to do what you don't want to, that's the beauty of camming.
Just gotta find your own niche/fetish.

So, my camgirl cherry was popped last night, to the tune of $1.75 for 4 hours of work. XD Maybe it was the fact that my mic wasn't working. Got a $5 tip from a lovely man that is paralyzed from the waist down. Really sweet guy, amazing convo and he's a sub!! <3 I didn't let my chronic anxiety hold me back, and even though I was nervous, I got 10 favorites and my fail lit a fire under my ass. Gotta advertise more. :)

Its actually a couple of minutes, not 30 seconds.



Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we supposed to be paid in full for block sessions after the 30 second mark even if it disconnects or the guy leaves early? A guy started a 30 min excl block with me with phone and cam and while I was paid for the 1 min something amount of time during the show, that's all in my earnings. wtf. is this some kind of glitch? I KNOW I read block session and it also says it was a block in my earnings, just not the right amount of $...
