It is because I find the guys that want audio tend to be pushy, bossy and demanding. They really make you "work" for it. I can't get them to stay long when I use audio. With no audio, I can drag out my shows by typing slower.
Thanks ladies! :)
That's interesting. Why do you think that would be then? (I thought I might be losing money through having no audio)

Warning: if a guy comes into your room asking about "hype" shows he is asking for your Skype info. I think he is an SM plant or even a bait and switch to see if you will give out your Skype info. He asks the same way every single time and I have seen him in other rooms which leads me to believe he works with SM. Either that or he is really fucking stupid because I directed him to my MC url so many times. I am going to ban him the next time I see him. I am annoyed that I forgot his name.
now I remember his name, or at least the guy who was in my room/free chat going on and on about Skype shows and I banned him he was so annoying about it. His name was "one in a million"

Does anyone know why a certain custie's comments don't show up for me, when they show up for my custie? He sent me a screen shot of his comments that have been apparently left for me, so he can view them but I can't. Another guy in my room said he can't view them either. Does this have to do with privacy settings on his part? Or perhaps the fact that he's signed in on a white label site?
They were some nice comments so I wanna show em off. :P

okay so there was some issue with streamate. I guess the site had a problem during the last few seconds of my GS a few days ago. They wrote me saying they added some pay adjustment. I don't see it anywhere? Should I, or should i write them back...?
Thankssss!

Is the comment quite recent? The author can see them on our profiles right away but it takes a while sometimes for them to show up for everyone else. Support has to approve them.

Yep. I've been checking because he said he left it, and I presumed there was a delay anyway...and then it appeared today having been submitted on Wednesday 18th.

My room is in-and-out hell, so I'm experimenting much like Sarah.
I have a brand new android. I logged in, went to my room, loaded my stream, and it froze within 2-3 seconds or anytime I clicked any part of the page. It then said I was in private after each thread. I then went to download this b-line browser app thing to see if that helped. Well, funny story, it doesn't support android at all. So there goes that option for mobile users.

I know it sometimes takes a few days, but this was from March 8th and I've had several others from different custies approved since. Not sure why this one isn't; there was nothing inappropriate about it.

how does the "numbers by the name" work? I have a guy who's taken me into 3 shows so far, but the number by his name has stayed at 1 (after the very first show). ANyone know?
(and I just achieved 5 star rating, ty so much everyone for all your help!)

Its dependent on how much they spend on you. The more they spend, the higher their number gets. keep your 1's close because they tend to convert into 2's etc and during slow times, all you need is one big spender to make your day.

I cannot seem to find this info anywhere in this thread and I know it was discussed like 2 weeks ago so I feel really bad about asking, but I need to anyway since I need to plan.
i've got Payoneer for SM and am not with a studio or anything, but am an international model. It says that my payment will always be held for an additional 21 days after issue to prevent fraud etc ( i am not on their 3 week hold thing). i thought it was only the first payment especially where Payoneer was concerned? if not its all good, just need to then plan my life around those payouts. Also, if anyone is on this system as well, is it 21 business days or just days?
Once again, sorry for the repeat question.

as far as i know unfortunately they do that to all non USA/UK/Canadian models and have all payloads permanently on a 3 week hold. And if im right you might be able to get off it and go to once a week pay after enuf time and theres no issues but u would have to talk to liz for that i think

Could you please send me an e-mail from Liz to my inbox? I tried to get off that 3 week pay delay, but to no avail... I would gladly try again and ask Liz if she can help me with that, I never had any problems with my payments and I've been on SM for years now.
Thank you.

Party chat I'm finding easier as it means I don't have to include their name every time I reply (and with no sound, I'm having to type everything).
You don't have to type out their name. If you click on a guy's name before typing, you're sending him a PM. He knows you're addressing him, and can't see anything you've said to anyone else.

I've tried that - I keep forgetting to unclick it so he gets the privelidge of receiving every convo reply and everyone else thinks I'm ignoring them LOL!

Random: When people say 'I just want the best for you'. What that really means is: I want the best for you, as long as you're at my level or below. Very few people can handle the blessings over your life. People don't like to be told they're jealous because it makes them feel inadequate.

^^ Sad Britney gifs always make me want to cry! :'( I love Britney and want her to be happy!!! :(
Anyway, camming is not as easy as it appears, I will say that. I am trying to get used to Streamate now. Geoblocking seems to really negatively affect traffic. So I'm thinking about turning it off. At this point, it's either: 1. make more money and let my family possibly see me. 2. keep geoblocking on to maintain privacy but the money suffers. ARGH....

there is just so many porn, pictures, movies, webcams sites and everything on the net, for your family to see you they would actually have to search for you and even then, its a needle in a insanely big haystack. Off course, it take just a badluck to get caught ben even me, who lives in a very small town, when a lot of people actually know be cause i worked a lot in services before, no one recognized me in over a years.

How do I opt out of promotions on Streamate? Or did I opt out when I turned on geo-block? Traffic in my room has never been that good (max. 5 guys at a time)... So I wonder if SM is promoting me on their white label sites or not?
And I wonder if bad video quality makes them not want to promote you on other sites?
Any answer would be really helpful. Thanks.

how will risking cutting ur earnings by turning ur mic and shoving ur face in a tablet help u make more money tho? ull stay on longer sure but u might need to simply by having to be on more to get ur money and that will in turn lower ur placement the opposite of what u want . if u have a kindle u can download kindle for desktop i read books on my computer when my tablet goes dead. little earbud phones wont be that be big of a deal vs muting urself . unless u mean keeping ur mic on and muting ur computer ? in that case it is a good idea i suggest getting wireless/bluetooth headphones tho so u can keep ur tablet off cam view and not be tied down by an aux wire. i got a really nice pair of bluetooth headphones for 40$ late last year by this company called life and soul. i like big bulky dj style headphones so the ones i got wont work for u but im pretty sure that company also makes buds.

How would that boost your placement if your making less money? Even if I've otherwise been in and out of privates the whole hour, it seems that the second I get distracted on something else (replying to texts or SW, etc) the privates stop or slow waaaay down. You can try it but if your hourly is considerably less I'd imagine your placement would go down not up. Just my thoughts, you won't know for sure unless you try it.

I've been thinking about getting a bluetooth so I can listen to my hypnosis while I work. I'd only want to wear it if I could hide it with my hair though. I don't want some big bulky thing showing up in my ear, lol.

I opted out of promotions by mailing streamate support, I asked them personally to remove me from promotions outside of their own website
They told me that when geoblock is in place, they automatically dont use that profile (and shows) for promotion
This is how they handled my account 3 years back though, so if you want out of promotion, best thing is to just mail support about it and pop them the question

Had a really good hour on SM earlier today, but had someone come into my room under the name of 'hottie', take me exlusive and then leave. Apparently they were just trying to clear my room.
It's been happening a lot recently. Think I've had hottie a couple of times and someone else under a username that's something along the lines of 'u dont come'.
Think I read somewhere on here that it was probably studios trying to free up traffic for their models? It's really annoying and completely pointless... Grrr.

If you have a MC page you can market the hell out of it on SM! I even put up a sign in my room with my MC website url and no one said anything about it from SM and holy shit, that sign works like a charm when I remember to put it up. I ordered the medium size lawn sign from Vistaprint with an attractive logo and design and it's gorgeous and goes with my decor, and very eye-catching. A model even pm'd me about the sign!
I don't think I can have the sign up when I do a TV gold show but for regular gold shows it seems to be just fine. However, during TV gold shows, you can mention your MC url as much as you want, the producers have no problem at all and since TV gold shows bring you the most traffic, I say pimp the hell out of it!
Here is the design of my sign from Vistaprint: (I don't have the silly ground spike for it, like I would stake into my front lawn LOL OMG. It's just placed where my bed pillows lay on my bed):41045
Okay, so I'm really confused now. We ARE able to use our MC URL on Streamate?? From reading the modelcentro thread it seemed that we were only able to direct them to the button that would give Streamate a cut. I would LOVE being able to pimp the hell out of my url especially during TV Gold Shows!

During TV Gold shows you can talk about your MC URL but you can't have a sign. At least that's what the producer told me. During your regular gold shows, (ones you start yourself), you can have the sign up.
Your Shazam producer might say something different. Seems as if it's different rules for each producer. LOL. My producer is producer14.

THANK YOU! I'm going to ask the producer next time I get offered one. I have a different producer almost every day, and yeah the rules do change like crazy! I just meant in general, I thought you weren't allowed to pimp your URL at all- I thought you could only direct them to the button on the site that gave Streamate a cut of everything. If it's working for you, then I'm gonna go for it! Better to ask forgiveness, I suppose. :) I love your sign btw, looks great in your room!

gosh, the guys that try to get free dirty talk. Whats the best way to deflect? I don't know if saying "hey, Ill tell you anything in private" will chase them away. I'm use to guys logging off as soon as something doesn't suite their liking, and I have almost no traffic, so I'm trying to make sure people don't have a reason to leave.

Tell them to take you private for dirty talk or ignore them. You can always kick or ban. This is YOUR room so run it how you see fit. I'm sure they do it to other girls too so it's not personal. Quality custies would value your time and take you private. They don't rob or harass you for free shit in free chat.

When guys try to fish for dirty talk, I just giggle and say something like ''Oh that would feel good!'' and then if they keep being stupid, they get a tempo-ban. I understand new clients wanting a small taste of my dirty-talking skills, but after a sentence or two it gets into cheap asshole territory and I start to 'forget' they're in my room.
The same goes for guys that want me to stand or show a specific part of my body- I'l flash them what they want (if it's rule appropriate) for like five seconds, say ''There's your peek baby!'' and then that's it until I get private. If I'm having a particularly slow day I'll just be like '' Baby that'll be ten gold or you'll have to take me private!'' with a huge fake grin. That usually filters out the cheapies.
Also hi!

I just streamed on SM for the first time. Totally forgot to block my state but I don't really care tbh. I was a little nervous at first but I have to admit that was very easy. Anyway, I barely had guys in my room. Is it possible my quality is bad? Is there anyway I can figure it out? I found my room and watched myself for a second and it was choppy. Maybe I'll just try to get my sister to take a look for me tomorrow. This technical stuff is kind of a pain in the butt.
it has nothing to do with quality you just need to build a following some top girls dont have as many guys in their room as others. even when I only have 1 or 2 ppl in my room on a slow day I can still make decent to good money if a regular or random big spender finds me. remember quality over quantity its better to have 2 guys in your room that will spend than a bunch of free loaders.

Your upload is great! What about your computer? If computer is good and upload is great, then your stream shouldn't be choppy!
I just ran a test and my upload speed is 11.30mbps I'm not sure what's considered good.

03-25-2015, 10:18 AM
I don't know if this is an all-around thing or just my laptop, but I found that if I used my laptop's attached mic instead of the one on my webcam, my video sped up and was less choppy for me too. It also helps to fiddle around with the HD encoder's bitrate and whatnot. I had a huge screwup with my internet when my brother moved in with me (he's a gamer and programmer) and after I made the change with my mic, my video quality flew back up and got better.
I don't know anything about my laptop but my brother told me it's a business model and is a little bit older, but hey, I thought I would suggest it.
