Loving this new preview option now when one guy pays for a flash my room count spikes up. Yay! This is good practice for a free token site with higher pay outs I guess so there's that.

Now I don't cam on streamate, but what perving the site for the first time in a long time because I'm planning on trying the site out. I did notice the web page looked much better, it was easier to navigate through room to room to look for girls I wanted to watch. I don't think it'll hurt the earnings only enhance it, but that's just my opinion. It seemed really nice and streamlined from a member's perspective. I also stayed on much much longer than when the page was the older version and it was more difficult to sift through models and go back tot the ones I wanted to watch. I think it will drive more traffic to the site overall. But I am a mfc girl so maybe that's just my preference? idk

I am bad at attaching pics... click on the icon if the pic does not sow up..... it is all pretty self explanatory. You should go to the SM dashboard website and have some alone time with it. Get to know it, feel it, press all the buttons and see what they do until you know where everything is.
I feel like you not even trying to figure things out for yourself, just clogging up the forum. I am not trying to be mean, but really, put some effort into it.

Curious, hi! just wanted to second this,
And also add, NEVER let a cam site tell you what to call yourself behind closed doors/on StripperWeb/at home. You might have to sit in a category on SM or get called something, but if that word offends you, there's no reason to really absorb the title. 'Shemale' is used a lot which is shitty because it's uh, not the best term. Unfortunately, until that's changed, it's something you might be called...just don't feel pressured to take it 'home' with you, yknow?
I'm in a few "fat" categories, I hate that shit, I tolerate it on the sites but I NEVER call myself fat. BBW, sure. fat? Never. Obviously it's not the exact same, but I wanted to share that tidbit. So don't feel like just cuz theyre calling you that, you have to call yourself that.
i wont even sign up to sites call that plus size women "obese" a lot of European sites have this label and i dont know why not every plus woman is "obese" to me its disrespectful and theres so many other eggs that i have to me it wouldnt be worth it i make enuf money in other places

Hey girls! In your opinion are Monday evenings worth it now with Football Season in full swing? I know for me, last week was terrible. I feel like crap today and really don't want to get on if it's going to be slow because of football. What time are games generally over with anyway?
Marina Starr
12-15-2014, 01:57 PM
My best advice is to not ask before you get on because there will always be girls that complain how terrible it is. I just know that personally for me, that would put a damper on my mood and I'll make no money when I log on because I'm already expecting it to be slow.

I think it always depends.. every week is different for me. The key is to not be in a negative mood when you get on, if you're logging on in the mindset that Mondays are awful PLUS you don't feel good, might as well work on something else instead, or take the day off- and work on a day that's normally great for you and you feel better!
The game tonight STARTS at 8:30 EST.. so your best bet will be to get on before that.. take a break for a few hours and get back on when it's over!

Like Marina mentioned, you never really know. SM was pretty bad last week for a lot of girls because of the changes but I believe camming is back in full swing again as it's picked up dramatically this week for me personally. I think if you feel shitty, don't do it but try again tomorrow. Football happens but SM is an international site so American Football doesn't effect everyone. I've had privates during college and NFL games from guys who don't watch or are located in other countries. What may be a shitty day for one girl may be amazing for another so its best to see for yourself.

Hey girls! Quick introduction and then I'll get to my point haha. I've been camming on SM for the past year, but I'm basically still a noob since I don't have much time to devote to it unfortunately because I have a very demanding vanilla job/budding career. Sometimes I fantasize about just doing this full-time..but yeah. So I still have to customize my profile on here too!
Anyway, yeah like some other ladies have said, my days online have been DISMAL since the new interface. Not sure if it's a coincidence..but I'm trying to keep my head up since the last few nights I had were sad lol. I think the new layout really does promote room jumping and ADD. I hope I'm just having some bad luck!! Though my placement is probably not hot because I was off for a couple months not too long ago..

I wonder myself what the new trend will be since the change, Gold shows changed SM completely, now with this new feature i feel guys wont leave page one anymore lol as they see everything "in there", i imagine they do it like this (because that's what i did myself when i looked up things): enter a room, watch the model a little, stay if they like what they see or scroll down the page (without closing chat room) if they dont like, enter the next room and repeat. Then scroll back up to see who else came back on cam as the models list refreshes soo often. Then eventually scroll down again & repeat. Do they leave 1st page at all? Not sure, lately i only got shows with regulars having me in their favorites, very little new guys joined my pvt. Is this good or bad, was this the intention of SM regarding this new feature? Hard to say, time will tell i guess.

Same here. The only shows I really got were with people who had favorited me. The new layout is good for consumers, but bad for us. Because I agree--I think the guys will do what you said: click on a model, stay for a bit, scroll, click on someone new, etc. But even if you're not on the first page, people can find you by your tags. Luckily I have a good smattering of those. I noticed that a bunch of people would come in my room at once, then slowly leave. I'm really, really hoping that I'm just having a crappy couple of days because I keep fearing that I'll like, never be able to make money on SM again :'(:-\ and I actually do like the site. I tried MFC briefly at first and it wasn't my cup of tea.

Ladies, I would test things out by staying on longer. What I've come to notice with the new feature is that often guys come back in my room as it's easier for them to click from the front page if they leave. What I dislike about it is it seems things are slower as the guys bounce in and out easier. However, I've also had new clients in privates/exclusives this whole week and only a sprinkle of my regulars stopped in. None of my regs have gotten shows, but several of the new guys have come back repeatedly so I'm guessing we just need to be available more and a bit more entertaining/stand out more so you're the candy he chooses when he comes to the shop, lol. I still hate the layout but it hasn't stopped me from making money this week so far and I just raised my rates to $8.99/7.99 too.

I think you're right. I need to get on earlier because I have only stayed on for like 2-3 hours because I have to go to bed. What's cool too is I've gotten mostly exclusives instead of privates recently. And some free chat tips which aren't super common for me. ALSO, what is probably REALLY messing me up, is that since I was offline for so long..I got dropped down to 4 stars!!! And now like no one is rating me even though I ask for it. I still can do gold shows (I never do though..I'd like to get to point where my room is full enough where I can.. they're fun) but yeah now I need to work back up to 5 stars...It seems to be harder than when I first created the profile.

Yaasss the tips have been coming for me harder as well. I was going to mention it but didn't want to boast haha. I think it's partly because my prices are high and a lot of guys just want to see me stand, etc. which is fine as money is money. I'd say if you're comfortable to possibly stay at least 4 hours per shift because I think SM tends to favor those who stay on a bit longer and you're there long enough to make more money.
LadyJezebel
12-16-2014, 12:42 PM
No, I haven't had that issue, but I did have one when a custie tried to take me private. I heard the sound of them signing out of my show, and it came up with their user name in the private show box saying they signed off. But it never said they signed on. The number count in my free chat was slow too. But that could be a problem on my end.

Yeah I agree, and anything less than 4 hours isn't enough time to really bring in money. But for me, it's dry from about 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. EST. When I was out of work and would cam during the earlyish afternoon, I actually did pretty well. I wish I could still do that haha. What are you prices? I think mine are relatively low, but not too bad. Approaching $4 for private. About $5 for exclusive.

Anyone have not received a check from SM through regular USPS Mail this week? Mine usually comes on Monday and today it's Tuesday but still no check. Now I have a million things going through my head of what could happen. Was my mail miss placed or SM forgot to send it out? I guess I need to go back to Payoneer.
I don't "need" the check but it puts me in such a bad mood when you're expecting something then it's not showing up! #fixitjesus

SM forgot to send out a check for me once and I ended up paying $30 for fedex and never looked back. They send you an email when they ship it with confirmation so you always know where it is. I now get wires but I'll be going back to fedex as soon as I move. Sometimes they do forget. I get that $30-40 is a chunk of change but it beats waiting and wondering where your money is.

Damn, SM is super buggy for me today. I couldn't log in at all with firefox, which is what I normally use, I had to use IE instead. I just had a guy try to take me exclusive, and I clicked on the pop up and...nothing. It just hung there for a few seconds and then I went back to my free chat. There seems to be a pretty big delay in my feed too.... Grrrr /vent over

That's usually a glitch with a mobile device not working for pvts.
