I started camming again back in August and this week is probably the slowest week I've ever seen on SM since I've been back!! Tonight, my paid chat rate was almost 50% but only because of one VERY long private towards the end of my shift. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have made my goal, ugh. I never understood the "Tuesday" thing girls' talk about, but this Tuesday and last Tuesday were both EXTREMELY slow. Monday was pretty bad for me this week too.

On SM I'm constantly getting guys popping in and out my room, guys asking "Why do you have so many clothes on?" (a tank top and shorts is NOT "so many clothes"), guys complaining about 5.99/9.99 rates, and guys trying to talk dirty to me in free chat. I'm trying to make SM work for me, but DAMN, where are the SPENDERS???

I saw a guy doing a GOLD show on SM the other day so I thought I'd click on him and take a peek. He was awesome (talking, attentive, responsive, good lighting, etc), so I promoted his sweet ass on Twitter. - It was SO cool to see a guy doing a GOLD show!

That aside, he mentioned (whether this is true or part of his hustle to help shut up freeloaders, I don't know) how Streamate can actually get hard on people who have a low percentage of time in free chat... I cannot remember his exact wording, but it most definitely took me back to something someone (perhaps Melonie?) said about Streamate starting to do this a few months back about them cracking down on performers who take up bandwidth by streaming a lot of time, but not bringing enough $$$$ back into the site. Like they are actually costing SM money by streaming if they aren't earning enough?

I think perhaps guys may find this harder, and have had more experience with this because I don't think they get nearly as much work as women on the site (I could be very, very wrong about that so don't quote me on it!) so I don't necessarily think it's something we all need to start being scared about. But it did make me curious as to the ins-and-outs of this, IF what he said was true.

I really, really hope that this won't be construed as fear-mongering or any crap like that. As I said, he could just have said this to help him hustle for the GOLD show tips / help along a private afterwards if the GOLD show failed, or he could have been serious. It just got me really curious.

I'm getting the "why so many clothes" a lot lately too. It drives me nuts.

Guys are going to complain about rates no matter what they are ... although, I know you mentioned you price your premium higher, to encourage guys to go exclusive, but exclusive doesn't show up to a lot of people. It might help if you change it so your exclusive is higher, just because of the fact exclusive isn't available for all guys.

Thanks, but I'm going to keep exclusive the lower rate, because I don't like premium.

Getting the option for exclusive is easy. All the guy has to do is tip ANY SM model 5 GOLD...OR take ANY SM model premium. Then when he returns to your room, the exclusive button will be there. I mentioned this before in a previous post, and have tested it out before with guys. It works.

01-16-2013, 09:17 AM
^ Oh, okay. I didn't know they had to tip for exclusive to show up. Now I know what to tell the guys that ask, thanks.

Edit: Just to add, I wasn't trying to tell you what to do or anything, I hope I didn't come off like that. I didn't know that you knew about the exclusive not showing up. Turns out you know more about it than me. :P

These guys are asking this ridiculous question during WINTER time when it's like 30 degrees...lol. Do they really expect all cam girls to be sitting in free chat wearing a bra and thong? I really believe they think that...lol.

When they ask me "Why do you have so many clothes on?," I smile and say "Because you haven't tipped me yet (for a flash)" or I'll say "Because you haven't gotten me naked yet." :P

If the exclusive option doesn't show up after they've tipped you the 5 Gold, it's because they'll need to leave the room real quick, and then re-enter. When they re-enter, the exclusive option should be there. A regular had first told me about this (he explained why some guys only see 'premium' and not 'exclusive'), and then I tested it out with 1 or 2 other guys, and it worked the way I described. :)

I started logging onto SM fully-clothed a few nights ago because I figured they're already getting to see a shit-ton of me naked for absolutely free if I go on in my usual bra and thong... They can see cleavage, tummy, thighs - maaaaaany guys can very happily jerk themselves silly to those things alone, so fuck! they ought to be paying us to go to the effort to make ourselves look so incredibly easily accessible and hot in the first place.

Sometimes I kind of damn myself for trying to make myself look like a frigging FHM cover model for FREE chat! Sometimes it hits me that guys pay money to look at still shots of women in the stereotypical provocative clothing we wear for free chat (bra sets, sexy costumes, niche outfits, certain kinds of knickers (lace, silk, etc), bikinis, suspenders, stockings, garter belts...) O_O If they're happy to pay for just still shots of those things, (which we know they do), this may easily explain why we get so many freeloaders and quiet guys sitting in our rooms. It might not, but... it might at the same time.

Anyway, I start my shift doing a GOLD show completely clothed during the start of the countdown... And I specify in the topic that with every, say $10 or $20 GOLD, ONE item of clothing will come off.. It can act as a very good tipping incentive if it's played off right, and if there are enough guys in the room to make it worthwhile.

I am going to make it a habit of logging on every night fully clothed... I just want the guys to be reminded of who has the upper hand when it comes to how much of my cleavage, sexy underwear and naked thighs they get to see for $0!
We're a luxury to look at even when no one is paying.. *gulp*.. It's enough to make me want to do my whole "cocoon" act again when I wrap my entire body in my duvet and refuse to come out until I reach a $200 GS target! LMAO! XD

Ahh I miss that night... I actually gained a well-spending guy that night who fondly called me "butterfly"; I opened C2C to find him wrapped up in his duvet! Don't anyone ever tell you that you can't pull money and quality regs in unless you're half-naked!!

So true.

One of the few times I actually did gold show (I've done them 3x and always made my goal)...the guys were nagging me to show a nipple, boob, ass, etc. I was fully clothed...I told them no...Thats what the gold show was for...One of the guys in the room was like "You are very smart my dear..very smart"...and made it rain shortly after lol.

I notice the same thing when I am in free chat.

Sometimes I've gotten desperate and start taking clothes off and my room may get a little fuller but once the clothes get back on...all the wankers leave. Waste of time and energy.

My hourly yesterday: $65 Today: $40 <---and i was going for that naked, take my clothes off approach..no bueno

I think back when Google Chrome was having issues (somewhat recently), when I used it for SM, I think guys were unable to hear me when I was on cam. Then when I came back under Firefox, it was fine. So I've been using Firefox ever since.

Google Chrome just recently started working as normal, and now I can use it again with the MFC model web broadcaster. Yay! I'm not sure how it'd work for SM now though...haven't tried.

I use Chrome for SM and Firefox for surfing while camming. I never have trouble with Chrome on SM. One time I have to enable pop-ups to be able to see customer profiles but that's all.

One day I clicked on a SM model's avatar photo (she has an MFC cam score of like 11,000+), and was shocked to see that she has tons of negative member comments on her SM profile. There was several back to back comments from guys complaining about her shows. I actually felt bad for her reading it.

Tonight has been okay....thanks to a couple long shows, I have noticed traffic is pretty wonky though...
1st page, 2st row a couple of hours ago with 6 people in my room....huh?

As far as the country I'd probably put down US...a lot of guys filter out everything but US/Mexico/Canada, so it might effect traffic.....and by choosing US you'd be in the sort of exotic/accent/sexyeuropean niche :)
If you put down Czech Republic you might get a lot of "do you speak english guys"..*facepalm*
Even with the accent they'll know you're in the US and not lying bc I'm pretty sure they don't give European models the option to put North American countries..
However it's ultimately up to you

I know a girl who's from the same country as me, and she can put US as country. I cannot though... She is on DP might be cause of that? But I'm on DP too. However I had an independent EasternEuropean account first.
She said even if she speaks english well because of her accent every one ran away or said she was a liar. :D But she does good with her real country shown cause she has nice regulars from here too.

Experiment, experiment. I even experiment wiht my age, birthday yadayada. I move my zodiac sign around, and play the "I have birthday today" card, just like the guys lmao

Is it possible to delete or have support remove negative comments?

I'm thinking about contacting support and asking them to approve the comments I know I've received so that they'll FINALLY show up (I've been waiting on some since October) but I'm a little hesitant in case any bad ones appear.

They will delete one or two if you had mostly positive comments out of courtesy.

I'm thinking about contacting support and asking them to approve the comments I know I've received so that they'll FINALLY show up (I've been waiting on some since October) but I'm a little hesitant in case any bad ones appear.

I'd love to know how that goes. I contacted them about that as well saying "I haven't gotten any new comments since 09-18-2012. If I do have any new one's can they please be approved." and this is what they said "Currently we have no way of viewing comments within your account but hope to have this feature available shortly. In the meantime if you pull up your profile page on the website, you can view the comments there.

Hope this helps!"

I didn't even respond because I was confused. I know they approve the comments before there even posted. So I'm not sure what there talking about.

It sounds like they either didn't read the message or didn't understand what you were asking and assumed that you were asking for a way to read comments.

Did i do the right thing?

I did a private with a guy and then during the 30 second countdown to take me back in free chat i got taken into another pvt before i even had a chance to put my bra and panties back on . and i was worried about the 30 second thing so i covered my breast with my bra and sat down so he couldnt see my va-jay and tired to talk to him for a little bit and i guess because he wasnt getting instant dildo in pussy he left.

I know its what i would have done...If im getting a million peepers during a show,and Ive had to stop numerous times to cover up and tease while im stalling for the first 30 sec to be up,eventually Ill say fuck it and just pretty much go on with my show without stopping and covering up bc i dont want the one that initially took me private to get pissed and leave (usually the guy that took me private is the one who always stays the longest)

But if the first guy left and a new one came in while im getting dressed? Oh yea,definitely going to cover myself up and talk to him for ATLEAST a min or two before we start getting down and dirty.It may be different for some ladies but for me,almost every guy that joins an ongoing private of mine NEVER sticks around that long - i usually find those guys to be the cheapest "paying" custies i have besides the ones that tip for a flash and then jet afterwards.So i always make sure to take my time and milk them for all theyre worth,theyre gonna leave as soon as they can regardless of whether im shoving 4 dildos up my ass or licking my lips sexily while talking to him anyways.

Just a few minutes ago I COULDN'T LOG IN!!!

I tried the "forgot password" option and it said that my email address wasn't in their database (yet my profile was still up). I sent a message to support and then did a quick search through here before trying to log in through cammodels.com as if I was a customer - and for some weird reason that worked and now I'm in.

Argh.... so annoying.

ETA: And now I can log in just fine through streamatemodels.com

Thanks for the explanation cuz I was like HUH?


I give up. I wrote them back saying:
"I don't think you understood what I was requesting. I wasn't asking to view comments within my account. I was saying that I haven't received any new comments since 9-18-2012. I was asking if someone could check to see if I had any new comments and if so can they please be approved so that there view-able in the comments area."

They wrote back saying:
"It is likely you have however comment approvals have a long delay. They must be reviewed before they are posted.

If you have further questions, let us know!

Have a nice day."

SMH I can not with them. Its like talking to brick wall. Sometimes they help and other times its like what exactly was the point of me contacting them lol.

So, I've been trying to block someone with the username alabs since I first started camming, and today I finally caught him. I did a little victory dance in free chat today. Then he came back 5 minutes later. He's not on my block list at all, even though it asked if I wanted to ban him from sending messages as well. Total bummer.

I have a question about guys who buy block times because they say they want to watch me cum. Today and Friday I had two different guy buy 15 min blocks. I'm wondering how often they really want to see you cum or they mean they just want to cum "with me" (because I fake it)? I dont get off with insertion I get off with clit stimulation only so I need to use bullets and stuff and I was advised against getting a rabbit because it blocks my opening from the cam view witch is what guys want to see. (plus the fact theyre expensive as fuck and my clit is very picky I dont think I could even get off with one)

IF the guy is buying a longer block session because he wants to watch you get off he most likely really wants you to get off. Yes some of these guy want the real deal and will get longer shows to try to see it happen. If you only get off with your bullet and fingers, then only use them. Yes some guys want a Wam-Bam-Porn-Star-Fake-Orgasum but not all of them. Say something sexy like "ohh i'll show you exactly what I like"
I also dont recomend the rabbit vibes, there bits never hit exactly where they should.

Was he leaving your room or had already left your room by the time you caught him and banned him? When it asked if you wanted to block him from messages,did you select yes or no? If you selected no,thats why.When you block someone that has left your room or is leaving your room right as you ban them,it will only block them from messaging you,NOT from entering your room.
SO-if you select no when it asks if you want them to be blocked from messaging you as well,it just cancels the entire ban.What you would have to do is catch him again,select YES when it asks if you want to block him from messaging,then go to your black list and check the block from chat option (and then you could uncheck the block from messaging option if you wanted to leave it open,or leave it checked,either/or)

Now if you selected yes and youre sure of it,then you do need to contact support right MEOW and tell them-send a screenshot if you happened to have taken one as well.They should be able to manually ban him for you..just depends,some ladies have reported SM doing it with no probs and then Ive seen others that have gotten the stupid computer generated message "if youd like to ban a customer...blah blah blah"

Streamate and I are about to go 'round n 'round. They haven't even issued a payment to me in 3 weeks (as in, it shows my last payment being for work done in December)... after I hit the 2nd week, I've pretty much stopped camming on there until they figure out what is going on. I'm not racking up thousands of dollars on there so they can pay (or decide not to) at some date in the future.

I actually emailed them about it, and they said they would re-issue the payment for a $25 fee--WTF? They never even issued the payment to begin with! How ya gonna charge me for re-issuing a non-issued payment? Am I in the twilight zone or something?

It's not really affecting me too much, as it's just bonus money for me and not really my main bread and butter. But still, it's principal, and they are only hurting themselves by not getting 65% of what I would have made them had I been logged on.

What is it with the cam companies and their automated replies? MFC is just as bad.. we make these cats shit loads of money and they act like we're good for nothing bitches..

Geez, sorry... I had to get that rant out of me.. LOL :D

Was that your first pay check fo SM? If so, you have to contact them to put you on weekly paid or they'll put you on a three weeks delay for your first check!

Oh, no.. I'm an SM veteran. They just suddenly stopped paying me last year, and that was that. Definitely a test of my patience.

Yeah I did.. the first response was the default copy and paste, "within 45 days it will cost you 25 days to re-issue the check or Payoneer payment".

I politely explained to them that they never issued the payment to begin with and to check their own records--so there is no "re-issuing" to be done. I just want them to release the last 3 pay periods to Payoneer so that they will wire it to my account. They are already take 65% of my money and now they want me to pay them $25 to release my money as well? Jesus H. I swear these adult companies get battier everyday.

All it makes me glad for is that I get closer to total independence within the adult industry everyday. And then no more dealing promoters, agencies, crumby site management, over zealous fees, etc. It's too much hassle and frustration. As many thousands of dollars SM profits off of me a month, you think they would take the time to do just a little due diligence, read what my email said in the first place, and take the time to give a human response. I never said my payment was lost.. I told them to check their records, because they haven't issued a payment to me since December. It's kinda disappointing, because outside of a single lost check, I've never had an issue with them.

Oh well.. time to go make some money elsewhere for tonight. :)

I've had this happen as well! I really wish they had an option where you could enter a screen name to ban instead of having to physically click on their name. But I guess that would be difficult since usernames aren't unique on SM...

Could you possibly email Vanessa to see if she can help or refer you to someone that CAN, a real live person instead of the 12 yr olds and bots they have working for their support?

Luckily, about an hour ago, they emailed me to tell me that the money is being sent Friday, so all is well. Thanks for the great tip though! I'll be sure to consider that if I run into any future problems. :)
