Okay, I'm going to say it, I don't think sm gives a FUCK what happens in exclusive. There are models that I know for fucking fact eat their own shit in exclusive and have been for YEARS and, meh, they don't care.

LOL well, I hope they charge a pretty penny for that!! I have seen just this last week a girl on the front page in free chat enjoying 420 openly!! Is that allowed? I have a beer, or a cocktail..ha! Get it, cock and tail? anyway I do partake in the alcohol on cam. Some times I need all the help I can get. ;-) But pot? And openly? I do have a question on a topic that I know I've read about in this forum some where...? Classic or Party Chat? I might try classic for the first time. If you don't mind giving your opinions. Or I can search it again?

I find it a little hypocritical to judge a model for smoking pot while admitting to drinking alcohol on cam...

PhatGirlDynomite!!!
04-23-2015, 08:34 AM
I think her point may have been that one is 100% legal (Beer) and the other (POT) is not. I know of one person who was suspended for smoking on cam. She now works on Chaturbate doing very well. But ironically CB doesn't allow drinking on cam, but turns a blind eye to smoking. But I don't think she was being judgy?

I know, but legal/illegal is irrelevant when we're discussing the rules and alcohol isn't allowed either. that's why I found it hypocritical.

thanks phatgirl, you're right, I was not. I was just asking if it was openly allowed. Me? I'll use my red solo cup ;-) and smoke off cam.

I do smoke shows pretty often with customers and occasionally take a hit in free chat, but it's legal in my state. I don't tell customers that, of course (I don't give away my location that easily), but I could make a good argument to SM if it ever became a true issue. Their office is located in Seattle (legal to smoke, sell, buy, etc) and I'm also in a state where it's legal, so I'm not breaking any laws about controlled substances. I don't know if the same argument could be made for a model who works in, say, Texas (I don't think it's legal there?!). Just my $.02 after doing these shows for a while. :)

Besides, pot keeps me so much happier on cam. I tolerate the stupid better.

Basically it comes down to this, there are rules. And people choose to bend them and break them. Most of us (me included) have broken or bend them. And it sucks for the people who do get in trouble, when others don't experience any repercussion. Let this be drinking, smoking, showing genitalia, ect. We see it happen all the time. And it makes us wonder, what is aloud? If you want to smoke a bowl and worry about losing your account or being suspended for x amount of time, do it off cam then. If you don't care, sure do what you want. Whatever. But I do think rules shouldn't have a grey area. Camsites have the responsibility to tell us EXACTLY what they don't want us doing as much as enforcing their own rules.

How do we deal with this? You can either ignore it, or voice your concerns and frustrations. But if you depend on a site, and you need that income, you have to do what you have to do keep your account and not have your income become impacted. I'm trying really hard not to touch myself. Because I think its unfair that my girl Ivy gets in trouble for it, when I don't. I can't do that anymore. Also, she is up there too with me. What happened to her can easily happen to me.

I did have a question about classic and/or party chat. I'm going to try classic chat today and see how I like it. What do you girls think? I know it's probably been asked before I can do a search for it. But if anyone's willing to give their 2 cents about it. thanks

I like both of them. For me at least, they are completely different hustles. Classic Chat I get more of the fetish guys and my regulars, a lot of the freeloaders and rude guys stay away (In my experience they tend to gravitate towards party chat/gold shows) The downside in my mind to this, is that I like it when the guys in my room can talk to each other. Obviously, this doesn't happen in classic.

When I'm in the mood to hang out, chat, do gold shows, get the guys to compete with each other and talk to each other in free chat, I go with party chat.
When I'm in the mood for fetishes, c2c, and don't have the energy to deal with as many assholes, freeloaders and beggars I go into classic chat. I also tend to do classic chat when it's that time of the month for me.

As far as money goes for me. I make almost the same hourly in either with party chat coming out the winner because I can fall back on gold shows if I'm not where I want to be.

I know a lot of ladies who say they only do classic and make more hourly there than in party. I think it depends on you :) Try it out and see how you like it!!

I do both and I like the chatty nature of party chat but also HATE the chatty nature of party chat. When it gets to the point where customers are greeting each other in my chat room I go on lock down and switch to classic chat. Seriously, it feels like about a month into party I start seeing my $$$ decline. When I feel like I haven't been seeing my fetish guys as much, it's time to transition.

What is the best internet browser to run sm???

I use explorer but I can't see any of my notes on the guys because it blocks pop ups ... But chrome says I need a Java or Adobe update I can't remember now....

Thanks for the input. That time of the month is good for it? That's towards the end of next week for me, so I'll try it then too. LOL I hate having to take the first couple of days off during my period, but I feel like crap those first 2 days and it's too much trouble. ;-( But I'll give it a try and see how I like it.

This is changing the subject, but it's about the phone notifications guys get when a model logs on. You know, the one where they want to be notified when a model is online?? I got asked this today in chat. Is their phone notified when I start streaming? Or when I log onto my dashboard just to check my mail? I do that constantly through the day, so I was wondering too. Thanks

Preach Audri.

I think what bothers me the most is that it hadn't even occurred to me to check the rules on this issue. Like I mentioned earlier, it's legal in my state. It's legal in the state SM operates out of. Why is it an issue so long as I'm not acting as a shit show exactly? So I looked it up and:


7. Not Under Influence Of Alcohol Or Illegal Drugs.
While giving any performance or taking any other action related to this Agreement, Performer/Studio shall not be under the influence of alcohol or any illegal drug or controlled substance.

Since that is clearly not enforced with any regularity or consistency, I really don't even know what to do with that. Ugh.

Have a lot of top models left SM? I hardly cam very often anymore, maybe like 3-6 hours a week when I can and my placement has gone up on the first page and I don't see many of the models that are always on? Just wondering....

Serena-Shields
04-23-2015, 09:36 PM
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of models are taking extended breaks from SM, tbh. I haven't been on there in two weeks, but I hear traffic has sucked lately and it was dwindling for me last time I logged on.

I'm only working about 2 hours a day now on SM and it used to be my full time gig and my ranking has gone to poor b/c of it but oh well, I still have my regs that can find me. I've decided to put my energy into working other sites for the time being.

Is it so irrational to ask for a tip to stand?

I don't want to have to keep standing and sitting for people who aren't going to take me into a show because they don't like what they see lol.


Also, I've only been getting tips for flashes... the guys love it. They do it for $10 every time (still mad that I only get 30% of that), but I can't seem to get any privates... idk what to do or what I'm doing wrong honestly.

QueenBitch
04-24-2015, 12:31 AM
it's not irrational to ask for a tip to stand, I do it all the time. I only ask $3 so if they can't even tip me that, the chance that they'll take me private is 0. so then they get butthurt and leave and I won't have wasted extra time on them :)

you're probably not doing anything wrong, some days I get a lot of tips and almost no privates and then other days I'm in privates all the time and get no tips... or I get no privates and no tips ahahahahaha amirite ladies amirite??? /nervous breakdown

Sonikku
04-24-2015, 12:41 AM
Okay, I was changing $3 for stand too.

I'm just upset because when I used to cam on SM in 2013, I could get on EXTREMELY inconsistently, make AT LEAST $25 dollars in an hour and log off.
Like wat.

What happened? lol

I get chump change trying to stay on for an hour now, if even that.

I've only had one private since I've been back to SM. And then I got mad when I made 12.05 when I could have taken home more due to the higher percentage, so I logged off and didn't get back on for a few days. Now I bumped my rates up by a couple bucks and nada.

AlyssaJane
04-24-2015, 12:46 AM
A few observations after 3 weeks of camming.

I think the guys who log in and out quickly are just checking our rates. This makes sense when they come back and quickly go into a show. They are simply window shopping. Because they checked all the rates and we are the best value for their category of model they are looking for.

I have seen some of the fun ways you girls work tips. Having a wheel of fortune, having hero boards, making it into a game. I LOVE IT! Totally not planning to copy any of what I have seen but I am so down to come up with my own way to make tipping fun. Brainstorming ideas now.

A lot of girls will do any kind of show. I don't know if I am one of those girls. I am a sweetheart, I love pleasing, I love being a submissive, and I have a lot of real life experience with cuckolds so thats a fetish I can pull off. I have to be in a mood to be dominant. (weird that I can do cuckolds but struggle with dominating....hmmmmm...you'd think it's the same but its really not.) I would love it if we had a referral program. "No I don't do anal, but check Model XYZ. She's great at it." My favorite sessions are the ones where I am doing what I love, maybe pushing my boundaries a bit. There might be a few sessions I've missed out on because I didn't say "oh yeah I will rock your world with (request I've never done/have no idea how to do)." I have been working on saying "oooh that sounds interesting. Can you tell me a little bit more how that works?" That has gotten me some shows that get me a bit more experience with that fetish and the guy isn't expecting me to be a rockstar at it. They often get off on teaching me. Its that whole submissive angle I can work. Part of why I wanted to do this job was to live my authentic life. I'd so much rather be honest with custies about my abilites and skills than just take them for all they are worth. I have a genuine desire to satisfy. Maybe that will fade over time, but that is where I am at right now.

As far as hustling, I have gotten a lot more shows just asking for the sale. Asking what they are into, assuring them I can deliver, and asking if they want to go private. A few regulars have sat in my room forEVER but the second I ask if they wanna play BOOM they are exclusive. Like they need to have me open that door for them, they are ready and have been ready, but need that little push. I am still learning a lot. I've checked out some gold shows, I've been watching some porn on the categories of requests I get that I struggle with. Porn watching is the best inspiration.

Any great dominants? I will send them your way. Send me your subseekers.

also a side note. when the say "stand first/show me your shoes first/panties first/ etc" I have been saying "I'm sorry sweetie that's not how it works. I'd love to show you, but you need to take me private or at least send me a tip first."

this has reduced the amount of time freeloaders stay in my room and increased my tips/shows.

What do you say to these guys?

I usually tell them "I'd gladly ____ for you if you tip x gold". They either do it or they leave immediately.

I finally got approved on Streamate yesterday. I signed up with 3 sites, SM, MFC and AW. And since MFC was pretty quick to approve, I've been streaming there a few times already. I like MFC, I have some regulars already, and earned about 1500 tokens on each day I streamed. I figured that was not too bad, and I had a lot of fun and I hope it stays that way :).
So I want to start streaming on SM too but I'm a bit nervous about that.
I don't get all these different chats you guys are talking about. The only thing I see on my profile is premium and exclusive. Set those rates too 2.99 and 3.99.
What differences ae there in what you do in premium of in exclusive, I figure that exlcusive is a private show? I supose you don't give it all away in premium?
How many different chats are there? I read premium and exclusive on my profile, which is pretty self explanitory, but then you guys talk about classic, party and gold?
How do you get there and what's the difference between all these chats?

I'm also pretty nervous about those shows, I mean, on MFC if someone takes me private I just ask them what they like. I do know a lot of fetishes, but on MFC I always end
up pleasuring myself, pussy faced to the camera and most of the times using my dildo. So how can I make something like this memorable?

And another question, I play music onf MFC, because it calmes my nerves a bit and it helps me get in the mood and be happy and cheerfull. Is that allowed on SM?

Thanks in advance, for anyone willing to help me. SM just confuses me very much, and I want to be able to know what I'm doing before I dive in.

I know I always tell girls to raise their rates...I now think it depends on a lot of factors. If you like being busy then play around with your rates and see if lowering or raising them helps keep you getting privates. I'm actually going to offer things in block only now and see if I can keep the guy longer.

I used to be so sweet to those guys, show them my feet in free chat, put on some heels and entertain them. But as I have read here in forums they rarely take you private. I didn't believe it until I had been camming a few months on my own and discovered it's true. I get a guy (about 1 in 50) that wants to see my feet or me in heels that actually does just take me private for it and it ends up being a long exclusive. so it's rare for me. Thank god I only have a couple pair of heels and didn't invest a ton of money on shoes! So now I say, "I'd be happy to, but I do that in private" If they really like you, they will.

Premium and exclusive are paid chat sessions. You start in free chat, then someone takes you to a private show.Premium is a group show that anyone can enter. Exclusive is a one on one show. A lot of girls only offer certain things, like fetishes, phone, cam2cam, etc in exclusive, so they price it higher than premium. But there are other girls who prefer one on one shows to group shows, and will price their exclusive cheaper to entice guys to go exclusive instead.

Classic chat is basically where customers can't see what other customers are typing. In party chat everyone can see what everyone else is typing. In order to do a gold show, you must be in party chat. Gold shows are a group show, but instead of a per minute price, you set x amount of gold for x amount of minutes. You aren't automatically allowed to do gold shows, you have to be approved for them.


I'm also pretty nervous about those shows, I mean, on MFC if someone takes me private I just ask them what they like. I do know a lot of fetishes, but on MFC I always end
up pleasuring myself, pussy faced to the camera and most of the times using my dildo. So how can I make something like this memorable?

Honestly, just practice. The more shows you do, the easier it will be to figure out how you want to run them.


And another question, I play music onf MFC, because it calmes my nerves a bit and it helps me get in the mood and be happy and cheerfull. Is that allowed on SM?

You can play music as long as you're not doing a TV gold show.

Why do I lose my stream connection (but NOT internet connection) once, but only once, every time I stream? At first I thought it was due to my ethernet port being a little wacky, but it does it when I'm on wifi too. And if it were the ethernet port, wouldn't the whole internet cut out on that computer?

Please help! I don't get it. The guys don't care much, but if we're in a block session they lose that half-minute when they come back to continue, and god forbid they begin to consider me unreliable.

:)

EDIT: before you ask, of course I'm using the encoder. :P

This may sound weird but I lose it sometimes because the usb port on my computer is loose/.... If i move my computer too fast it cuts out momentarily and throws me offline. Maybe its a loose connection or your cam..... I know its a long shot but hey maybe itll help

Upload a photo of you standing. I always mention they can tip or they can view the photos I've uploaded. Those who want to see Me life will do so and it helps me answer them without saying no.


Is it so irrational to ask for a tip to stand?

I don't want to have to keep standing and sitting for people who aren't going to take me into a show because they don't like what they see lol.


Also, I've only been getting tips for flashes... the guys love it. They do it for $10 every time (still mad that I only get 30% of that), but I can't seem to get any privates... idk what to do or what I'm doing wrong honestly.

Thanks. I'm curious to hear if others have any theories. I can try to keep a closer eye on my webcam port. I should mention that I'm referring to a pop up box on the SM page saying "blah blah your streaming connection was lost," rather than the encoder saying "attempting to reconnect to primary."

girls is it normal, even with the low traffic, to be on line for more than two hours ininterrupted, thousands of guys get in and out, one or two talk a little and no one private, no even one dollar?

for me that has been the norm i dont start getting shows until ive been on 2-3 hours and ive had to start putting in 8-9 hour days just to make $20-$30 for the whole day for the past 4 weeks now. my rates are 3.99 and 5.99 but i have dropped them down to 1.99 and 3.99 to make ends meet for the week. ive considered dropping my rates back down to 1.99 and 2.99 but i know im worth more and when i was that low i didnt like the kind of guys i was dealing with but rent and bills need to paid so i have to do what i have to do if it comes down to it.

I'm a newbie and things are pretty hard, I really don't understand how some girls made so much money in few hours, I 've even put my rates at 0,99 and things keep hard

I really don't understand this logic, if the site is slow, with a lot of models on, why charge more would be better?
I have just made one show, 10minutes for 5 dollars, is a piece of shit, but I'm still triyng before totally gave up

I guilty myself for being so stupi, I only read the good things abount camming, girls making 100 hundred dollars in few hours

I stupid because I bough a webcam and a good computer cause I though this could be true and also happens to me, but no
