I wish SM would make a sound notification for when guys actually TYPE to you in free chat, not just when they enter the room

I think Im page 1 I dont ever check anymore. but yesterday was so so so so ugh! I got some gold shows from dish network and even in those shows I got maybe 4 tippers. That never happens to me!! I did manage to start a couple other goldshows after much work but only because I had guys tipping 10 to 20 gold (all on their own I didnt have it set that high) and I spent about 20 mins in prvt all day. I did about 7 hours on cam and it was probably my worst day ever!
Even Im thinking of dropping my rate or maybe I will offer a goldshow exclusive. Like you tip in 50 golds and I do a 10 min show just for you (and anyone else who wants to jump in). That might appeal to some of the bigger spenders who are tight right now as its way cheaper then my rate and at the very least I get the benefit of having a gold show (meaning good placement and more offers from dish network) with out having to spend one hour getting it started.

I used to do goldshow offer for a discount, more like a block session. It worked sometimes, but hardly any peekers jump in. I need to start offering that option again, but I HATE party chat. I wish they allow us to set up goldshow in classic chat too.

so totally off topic butttt just wondering if any of you have had any luck recording shows and turning them into clips for c4s? recording directly from the encoder so the videos are all pretty long and just have an entire shifts worth of shows throughout... im just realizing i have fuck tons of videos saved but im wondering if the time editing them and converting and all that would be worth it? especially since i normally have music on in the background so i'd have to do some sort of audio magic there but i'm pretty good with audio engineering so i dunno! just wondering if there's anything i can do with all of them?
I do have some luck with using my recorded shows. I put fetish recorded shows on c4s, but sell vanilla shows for golds to guys who cannot afford my rates... if they are willing to do clips instead. I did try and sell vanilla shows on c4s but barely made any.

Vanilla clips are about all I can sell on c4s! I really wanted to have fun with different fetishes, but they just don't sell for me :( I don't record my SM shows, but that probably wouldn't be a bad idea for me since that's what sells best for me.

I havent tried it yet today although I have done them in the past for certain things. Today is a bit more active for me. Not like Im going to bank but I have had more guys taking me prvt and excl, short ones but still paid, and I managed to do two goldshows started so that is at least something! Normally Friday is my slowest day so Im taking this as a sign of good things to come!!
Im all Hustle today but if the traffic drops anymore I may need to make a sacrifice to the cam goddess....

So I've been working on Streamate for about a month now (love it!). However, I am very new to camming and started at 4 months pregnant. I know a lot of the guys on there love the pregnancy aspect but I can't help but get a little winded/tired sometimes (not to mention it's a bit hard trying to reach around to fondle my lady bits now that I have a big belly in the way (only getting bigger!) Anybody else on here cam when they were pregnant? Was hoping to get some ideas on things I can do when I can't seem to get around this belly. Thanks loves :-)

I've never been pregnant but it seems that guys go crazy for milk, so whenever that does happen, milk it! ;-)
If you have a suction cup dildo can you ride that? Or if you get a really long bendy dildo you'll be able to reach, even without using it all of course! Hitachi shows. Make sure you mention pregnant in your profile and tag line (under your profile pic when you're online). Get guys to tag you as pregnant too. Advertise it a lot so you get more pregnancy fetishists who just want to see your belly.
So you do domination shows? Push them as well so you can sit there and rest while you humiliate them/make fun of their little dick/do CFNM JOI etc

Yea, I definitely have "Pregnant" posted anywhere I can think of and I'm always on the front page of the Pregnant section when I'm online which is good. I've honestly never done any domination before. I don't know if I would have the personality for that as I've always had more of the "sweet innocent" look as I'm told. Still working up on my toy collection. Honestly, I had NOTHING when I started this a month ago (I know, sad me) but slowly trying to build up.

I did that once and yes, I got like 5 and more guys in pvt but the problem was, that I got three 2 star ratings and one 1 star (and not much 5 stars). Probably because everybody was barking orders and I just did my own thing, even though I wrote in my room topic that I will lower price and NOT take requests. And SM support will remove some of them, but I guess you can't email them "oh I got x 1 stars and x 2 stars today, can you remove them all". And ratings affect placement, so I don't know if its really worth it?
Maybe I just got lucky? I got several 5 stars and nothing else. Everyone was actually pretty decent in private, too. I was shocked.

I just had my baby in November. Camming was great for me during pregnancy, when I was able to log on. I got very tired very easily so I didn't work as much as I'd like. I don't have any tips for how to get around the belly because I didn't find myself having any problem actually reaching around to do anything, but I will say that the majority of the pregnancy lovers I encountered didn't even want me to do any "playing" they only wanted to admire my body. So don't be quick to start going at it with toys, you might not even need to!
I was really looking forward to the milk guys because my whole pregnancy everyone was always asking if I had milk... then I came back after having the baby with full tits and seriously I get a few guys asking each day if I have milk and none of them actually going private. I can count on one hand the number of milk shows I've done since November. It's strange because I've always heard that was a huge fetish!

Yea, I think I have more guys asking me about milk/milk shows than are asking me about my pregnancy! I'm hoping to start making some clips as well since I've read a lot on here that pregnant clips/videos can definitely sell. I mean, is Belly Worship really a big thing? Or do guys just like your typical sex videos, just with someone pregnant?

Definitely make clips. There's several threads here related to pregnancy that have great advice. I didn't make any sex videos while pregnant, just worshiping type or measurement videos. If you're smarter than me, make a video every single week where you measure your belly and breasts and talk about how big you are getting and what you are craving, things like that. That way you have at least one video every week. Guys love the weekly progress/measurement videos, unfortunately I didn't do them consistently. No masturbation or sexual stuff required.
I don't want to fill up the Streamate thread with pregnancy stuff, so feel free to PM me if you want. :)

I don't use social networking much at all. I have a twitter account and I am not really great at keeping it updated regularly, and I do well. You can definitely do well without social networking, it just adds a boost, but it's not necessary.

I have never not received my checks but there were a few times when I got them late. I now use Payoneer for direct deposit.

The only reason I have my Twitter and maintain it regularly with pics and tweets is to get the SM/CB/FWC guys over to Skype instead. It is the single best way to get them off the big sites and into your Skype lair. A ModelCentro website is also a powerful tool for passive income and getting guys to use my Skype payment processors.

Yeah, I have my age listed as 10 years younger than I am. One thing I noticed is when I had my real age (35) I got way more young guys wanting me to dominate. Since I'm submissive and look a lot younger than I am I decided to try being 25 again lol. I have a much easier time getting the customers that I want now...older men (technically guys my age lol) and men who let me be submissive. So now we are all happy!
