I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I don't think your placement would be as bad as you think. I would just work as much as you can. You've been through a lot, go easy on yourself :)
Thank you <33 We'll seeee.
I'm sorry you went through all that, and I hope you're feeling better.
My advice for coming back is to get through your first 5 hours on SM as soon as you can. The algorithm doesn't start counting your "hours worked in the past 30 days" until you hit 5 hours. Once you get the 5 hours in, give it 24-48 hours and it will start counting it. I have always gotten a big placement bump when that happens. (It makes you wonder, if I get a big bump just for working 5 hours, how many models on there are not working even 5 hours a month?)
Ohh wow, that's good to know. Maybe I'll just cam-up and try to do 5 hours tonight. Thank you <333

So I was having a "new" glitch last night. Guys would come into my room and I always greet them. It would take up to a full minute before I would get a response and of course by then they would be logged off. I am sure it was as if I was ignoring their conversation or request. I logged off and tried again and the lag was still bad. Also my break button started malfunctioning. All of a sudden I would be trying to talk to someone and then I was in a break without even pushing the button. I was starting to think my computer had become possessed. lol

WOW streamate is being bipolar again... $72 in my first 30 mins online! I hope the rest of the night is like this... I'm actually getting multiple people in private and they are staying. WTF is this?! I almost don't even know what to do! lol

Desperate to look at boobs for free is my guess, because half the people that swarm in never join in.

Most girls show a lot more during gold show count downs to try and convince guys to join. These guys flock to gold show rooms because they know the girl is probably showing off a lot rather than sitting down not showing anything. They are just freeloaders trying to get a glimpse of something.

My last GS was over two years ago. I don't regret doing them but I wish I never did. Whenever they ask for GS, I would say 'why share when you can have me all to yourself?'.
Dont ever feel pressured into doing something you don't want to.

SM has been really bipolar for me. I'll have 1 good day per week, but then the rest of the week, nothing. I have tried everything. I am going to continue doing SM, but am going to also up my hours on *shudder* MFC again. I have tried goldshows, dropping my prices, raising my prices, videos, eeeeeverything. My next plan is to be a secretary again :P damn you camgods! </rant>

It's hit or miss for me. I'm making a solid average hourly right now, but I'm having a lot of yo-yo hours and I'm splitting with my indy sites. Earlier I pulled $48, then $11, then $62 over three hours. The first hour was predominately from my indy site, although I was only on SM for like 15 minutes so no shock there. The other two hours were 100% SM money. I'm on shift #2 now and I did $32 my first hour and I'm only at $6 so far. It's a roller coaster.
TL,DR: Just stay the fuck on.

I used to be gold shows all the time but I have started to realize that the money isnt there. If I make a minimum of $100 for a 7 min show that takes me 15mins to start then I just made $35.00 for 22mins of work. That means I can make $70 an hour IF there is no re-starts and we all know that never ever happens so all of a sudden Im making $35. for 37mins or 52 mins. Its just ridiculous when I consider how much I make taking prvt and exclusives and I put so much less effort into them.
Gold shows put me in a bad mood as well.

I might be the only one who enjoys goldshows. I tend to be bossy, so I don't actually like pvts because of that. Most of them want you to do a lot of shit. Move to the right, now left, now spread your legs, now show me your feet, now dance like a penguin. At leat, in a gs I can do whatever I wanna do. I take more pvts when I see is slow.
For me was a good night on SM. Can't complain at all, did over my daily goal.

I see gold shows as a way to get new regs. I always acquire new ones after they've joined one of my goldshows. I never try to slack off during a show because I want them to come back to see what I can really do in private or join more of goldshows and purchase content. Always ask for favorites, because it's something they can do.

Unfortunately for me, the only regs I got from goldshows were "goldshow regs" who would sit in my room until I start a show and then tip the minimum and act like I owe them the world because they tip $3 a few times a week. Now they sit around and say goldshow? and refuse to go private. They still always come around asking for goldshows like I'll just change my mind for them. I wish goldshows brought me real regs. :( That would have been a big plus. The guys who wanted more after the gold show would always be like "do another gold show bb". Lol

I'm an old fuddy duddy when it comes to Gold Shows. Some times I like them, some times I don't. I like WATCHING other girls goldshows LOL. And I do watch quite a few. As for my own, I know I have guys who are just Gold Show guys and I can always count on them to pitch in. I wait for the suggestion when my room is full and lagging... So what I've been doing is a very short, (4 minute max) low goal, low buy in, GS only once or twice when I'm camming to make those guys happy. I also have a short countdown. I usually don't have a problem making the goal (it's low anyway) with time to spare, start it as soon as I can and have fun. It breaks up the monotony for me.

That's true for me too...I got it all figured out with my 4 minute GS...the last 45 seconds I jump on my man toy, ass to cam and ride like I'm at the rodeo! The ones who don't have time to finish keep the show going and take my private before I dismount. LOL

Im thinking about sitting down and working out the math on this because I also occasionally have guys who I know are high tippers. The problem is that long count down. If I had a 3 min count down and a 7 min show then what do I have to make in that 3 mins to make starting worth it? I am just crunching some quick numbers in my head. Hmmm you have really got me thinking now Jess. There might actually be a "happy" spot here I just need to figure out what it would be for me.

Yeah those dudes. I see them as micro-transactions (lol). But yeah that shit is annoying as hell. If someone asks for another gold show, I tell them no private if you want more. Sometimes it works. The first thing someone said to me this morning was "gold show." I do them on my time, not theirs. lol. If they want convenience, private.

I was thinking more that it's kind of cool to know that not many of the models on SM are actually working regularly. There may be 1500 models online at a given time, but there must be a pretty high % of them that will show up one day and won't be back again until next month (if ever). It makes the "competition" seem a lot less competitive. It also makes it easier to see why just showing up regularly is such a big key to camming success.
Very well said.

I have stage fright with Gold Shows. I just can't bring myself to start one.
I'm not doing great on SM, bee working since september and I can't seem to go above 17/hr yet. LOL. Unless there are ridiculous days like today, when I've made 11 dollars in a little over two hours. :'(
with that, Goldshows seem like a good idea to bring up the traffic or help me get to my goal, but I'm paralyzed thinking I will not make goal and I'll just sit there looking stupid.
I try to never complain, but today I'm finding it hard. Sometimes I feel like a camgirl joke.

LOL! I'm sure there are tons of reasons that models don't need to be on more than a few hours per month. I've taken numerous breaks from SM, and sometimes it's just because some other site is doing really well for me. Some people only need a few extra bucks here and there, and that's cool, too (although preferably it wouldn't be for extremely numerous bail payments!).
I was thinking more that it's kind of cool to know that not many of the models on SM are actually working regularly. There may be 1500 models online at a given time, but there must be a pretty high % of them that will show up one day and won't be back again until next month (if ever)
I wonder how many of those models logging on once in a while are just keeping their account open to get the affiliate link cuts. Even though I also have a (useless) MoneyTree affliate link, my Cammodels link has more sign-ups and I plan to get that cut until they pry my mouse out of my cold dead hand.
Also, it's bullshit they shut that down after we are no longer active. Even if a model is no longer working I am sure plenty have their link in places that still might attract new sign-ups to the site, so why cut that off? To save server space? It's clear to me that models have as much or more of a clue as white label affiliates on how to find and attract viable traffic. I don't think SM should be cutting off any potential traffic avenue.
