Where's all my 20% referral guys??? I used to make at least $100 a week from them. Many weeks I made $300 off referrals. Now....nothing. For weeks.
I've noticed this too. I had 5 spending daily and then it trickled to the one who went from making me $100 a week to maybe $50-75. This week so far he's only made me $17 :/

A couple of weird things have happened today.
First thing that happened was I heard the room exit noise and then about 7 lines of chat appeared in the paid chat area. The chat hadn't been there before and there was definitely no entry noise. The guy had waited for a minute while I just sat like I was in free chat. Safe to say I got a 1 star rating there...
And then just now I have had no one in my room whatsoever when suddenly I get a exclusive invite but I still couldn't see the guy in my room until he got into paid chat.
Anyone else had these issues or can think of a reason for them?
Also is it dead today or just me, seems like all the freeloaders are in today! :-(

Hey, can anyone tell me what I need to do to get approved to do a girl on girl show with my friend. She's already streamate approved for to stream I just don't know how to go about setting up our show (I.e. Who's account do we use, does the money split automatically, who harangue ratings/comments?) Thanks!

Pretty sure best bet is to email Liz and she will add a note to you account.
As for pay simply split the money when you get it?

So about these referral links... I know what it is - directs a potential customer to my page through which, if they sign up and spend money on SM, I get a percentage of it. Right? That sounds pretty straightforward. What I can't seem to figure out, though, is where exactly do you post it?? I'm really not that savvy with social media, don't have a big twitter following or anything which I'd assume would be a main place to advertise. I don't have my own website. Are those the only sorts of places you ladies post your link, or do you plaster it all over craigslist or what? X) Advice is much appreciated!

I have only ever posted mine on Twitter.

Ladies.. If you see a referral spending a ton and it seems unusual, report it to Liz. I'm pretty sure I just had a guy using a stolen card. Our account could be jeopardized if it isn't reported.

SuperPookie, I had a jerk in my room losing his shit over it too. (and I have in my room topic I only do c2c in exclusive LOL, so he can't claim he didn't know) It happens, they feel entitled. Don't give in, or they'll think they can push you around even more. Which will make you feel bad and lose energy to deal with other customers.
It literally is two things for me: I don't like looking at dicks (which I don't tell customers) and I honestly can't give the individualized attention they want in a room of people (which I do explain).

Speaking of turning down C2C, have you ever rejected a C2C request and then had the C2C feature just no longer work?
A few nights ago someone tried to do C2C but I rejected it. After, two different custies tried to do C2C, which I was allowing for them, but the system wouldn't even give them the option. I had to log off and come back for it to work again. One of the guys gave me a 4 star review for it. I was so pissed.

If I use Instagram to post when I'm going online, would it be against the rules to be like "hey follow me on ig so you know when I'm going to be online." I mean, I also sell vids and pics on my ig. But I'm not advertising that by saying to follow me. It probably is. But I thought I'd check.

You cannot say google because they consider it "taking a member off site".... You cannot do this. I know multiple girls who have been suspended for this.

You can say, "yes, I have a website but, I am not allowed to say what the URL is nor am I allowed to tell you my social media contact names however, I do have all those things, and if you are smart you will know how to find me. If you are stupid then you are a loser who is paying too much for porn."

That was what I was worried about... Guess I'll just have to keep trying jedi mind tricks for those incapable of using the brains in their heads to search for me off SM!
As for random disconnection, so many today and guys not being able to even get into privates as well... Guess its just part of the game. :-/

Ugh. I don't understand why. So stupid. C4s allows it as long as you use that site to promote back to c4s somehow. If I'm marketing myself on streamate, on my ig page. I don't see the issue. Oh well, kind of what I figured.

You know, I never did figure the logic out on that one. SM loves social media. Cammodels link, Twitter accounts, IG accounts, TV advertisements even--SM fucking loves to use it, and they really love when we use it to get guys onto SM. But god help you if one of those dudes should happen to ask 'can I follow you on Twitter?' once he's already on SM.
Oh, wait, the logic was 'give us ALL the monies!!!!' Well played SM, well played.

Bah. BAH! I was having very decent traffic until about 10pm when it slowed to an absolute trickle. Tried refreshing my page, tried using the encoder (it freezes every time now for some reason)... finally around midnight I started getting traffic again but only in-n-outs. No big, must be slow, at least it's not glitching on me anym--- waaait a sec. These two guys keep popping in and out over and over again. Oh, here's another one. In and out a good 10 times.... it's like they're trying to stay in my room.... fffffuuuuuuuuu

Sometimes I have a guy join a prvt. show and then another guy with exactly the same user name joins and leaves quickly this happens multiple times during the show. I dont know if its a glitch of if its some ass hat who changes his user name to the same one as the guy in the prvt and then pops in and out. The odd thing is its really fast (not like he is watching for free but like his flash isnt working) and sometimes the impostor name will have a number next to it where as sometimes it doesnt.
Anyone else experiencing this?

05-22-2015, 10:49 AM
Ohhh damn, just checked my cammodel link on my phone and it says I'm in a private show. No wonder people keep leaving right away! Hopefully it's only a mobile glitch but still. Arg! What to do about this...?

Gold shows-how do I get them? So I used the search feature, and still couldn't find the posts about how to actually get them. I'm an idiot, and I apologize in advance. =) I know I previously read somewhere about needing a 5-star rating. Well I have one. What else do I need? Am I missing something? I had 3 different custies ask me last night when I was going to start doing gold shows. After I got off cam, I spent another 2 hours on here trying to find the answer, but was so frazzled I just went to bed after that. Lol.

you know I was very lucky to stumble across them when researching camming as a new job. Everyone teases me about how much I "research" things, but it always pays off. Vanessa, is who I signed up with after watching her videos and reading the forums. She's always helped me out when I have a question, needed videos removed from tube sites, or any general question. The videos are very informative and reading through this streamate thread helps too. I've read page after page...from the very beginning! I'm at page 478, but I have insomnia some nights and love to read. LOL

Or maybe they are really that daft. Like when you move your dogs food bowl and he just stares at it...then paces around where it used to be. Men are like puppies they need routine.

I think some guys are intimidated by Skype shows. The shy ones probably don't like the better picture and sound quality that we get when we see them. I was a little taken back at first when doing Skype shows because you can hear then and see them so well but you get used to it.

I feel like I'm forever asking questions on here. Probably because I am, and I apologize. Can someone point me in the right direction to find information about tv broadcasting? I tried searching, and am not really finding the info I need. One day, I'm going to binge read this whole thread, because I'm positive it's got to be in here somewhere...
I got a thing at the top of my performer dashboard asking me if I wanted to opt-in for tv broadcasting. I'm looking for information on what exactly this entails? Soooo, I'd be on tv??? Where, who, is the pay worth it? Have other models found that it gives them good exposure? And on that note, how much exposure (If I walk into the grocery store in my fairly small town, are 10 different guys going to recognize me in one day, or is that still not that likely)... I read you need sound... I only do sound in private and exclusive right now, because well, sometimes I like to make snide remarks about people's user names or their ridiculousness to myself. THAT wouldn't be awkward if I forgot I had sound, or anything. =) Anywho, I'm assuming sound would be required in free chat?
On another note, I read that all tv performances are gold shows... but yet I haven't been approved for that yet. So, how's that work out?
The prospect of hitting the goal offered no matter what sounds enticing... butttt what is the goal usually? I mean are we talking $25, or are we talking $250? Of course, that makes a big difference. Is it based off current earnings?
Edit: On the gold show part, haha... just got approved for them... I suppose it would help if I check my messages on sm before posting, eh? So I'm assuming that's why I'm getting the tv broadcaster message as well. I'm smart *insert sarcasm here*. Oh well.
So I found info about the broadcasting on streamate support. But if anyone has any experience about what type of pay we are talking, or how well it helps with exposure and such, I'd still love to hear from you.

Hi everyone.
Am not new to camming but am new to streamate. Thanks for all the very useful info on here - it's been brilliant. I have one question, which is where is the break/pause button?
I don't seem to have one and I find it bloody annoying having to log off and then mess about posting the codes into the HD encoder every time I want to leave the laptop for a few minutes to get a drink or something.
Thanks!
