They usually issue checks on Wednesday, but sometimes even if they're issued, it won't show that they are. In the past when I've emailed support about it, they always say that it's just the site not being updated yet.

This guy read my SM room topic and said that what I was offering is a pretty sweet deal. I smiled and told him that he'd be surprised how many guys refuse to tip 5 Gold for a flash and video. As soon as I said that, he and another guy tipped 5 Gold pretty much simultaneously...lol. Cool.

@Blovely Wow, it's like you read my mind and just posted what I was thinking! :P
I do flashes for 5 Gold in public chat, and man, it's like pulling teeth just to get guys to do THAT. My room topic stated that I'll do flashes for 5 Gold, and some guy tipped 2 Gold and thought I was gonna flash him. I thanked him for the tip and told him he needs to send 3 more Gold if he wants that flash. He sent it, and I gave him a generous flash. Then he's like "That's not enough." *rolls eyes* I told him he can go exclusive if he wants longer periods of nudity. He didn't. I guess he's one of those losers who thinks that tipping $5 ONE TIME means you get to request things from the model all fucking night. Nope...you want another flash, you have to tip for it again. NO FREE REFILLS...lmao.
Its the same for me too,when i was offering GOLD for flashes id have tons of guys in the room and then more than half would clear out the sec i flashed.Not to toot my own horn,but I have big tits and a pretty face,so i KNOW i didnt scare them away lol They just got what they needed and bounced and that shit PISSED ME OFF.so now,i demand $15-20 GOLD for a flash,depending on how my day is going.
Surprisingly,ive had MORE guys tip at those higher prices than i ever had when i flashed for $5.I still hate doing it bc ive rarely had anyone take me private afterwards.It just seems like im throwing money away.Which has me wondering why in the hell im still offering flashes at all?! hmm..:noidea:

I think i mentioned this in the BBW thread or maybe before in here but i got a lot of guys asking for ass and tits and for me to stand up then i ask for gold and they left. Then I did it for a day without asking for gold they all just left as soon as they got what they wanted. I was a little annoyed but not too much because i was kinda expecting that but still. Now i dont do shit if asked unless i get gold
There have days when i danced around and talked in free chat and right when i was about to start doing a 360 turn there have been guys who said show ass so i stop turning around and say 5 gold. Even tho i was about to do it anyway i wasnt gonna make them feel like i did what they asked.

thanks for that, i am not new to camming but work on another site and i do not give them anything free, i had just wondered if streamate was different and you needed to do it to as it would appear most girls do "sigh"
Thats cool then, if they want to see more then they will just have to keep coming pvt with me, seemed to work ok today with not showing off in free..............i feel the same, they get free chat and see me in free, if they want the naughty goods they can dam well go pvt.
Also what do you all charge, i have asked support to enable me to put up higher prices but got a reply as its a new account i cant and will need to be online for a bit and get some ratings first........at present i charge 3.99 in prem and 4.99 in exclusive but would like to up those prices.
My upload is crap so cant have the hd encoder so wont be able to do gold shows by the looks of it, but i had my settings on hd mode today and all the guys said how clear my cam was.
another quickie i can have sound in the day no probs and it works as i can have a smutty mouth to keep them in but does anyone work on there and do it witout sound as i want to work evenings as well but wont be able to have sound on at those times.
Your very welcome. As far a pricing goes I think the best thread is Please stop being cheap (http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?166860-Please-Stop-Being-Cheap-(-!!!!!!!!!!)&highlight=stop+cheap). Its kind of long but alot of ladies posted their prices in there. If they won't let you up your price then your only option is to work at that price. Make sure you tell your customers to rate you 5* before they leave pvt. Most guys forget or don't even think to rate. Your ratings will go up alot quicker if you remind them to rate you.
Alot of ladies on here don't use the encoder either. Their internet speeds aren't high enough or their computers just can't handle it. Alot just use the HD mode like you until there able to upgrade their equipment. I was using HD mode for a while as well because my computer just couldn't handle the encoder.
There are a lot I mean alooooooooooooooot of threads on here about camming without sound (the search function is your friend:)). In short alot of ladies cam or have cammed without sound.... me being one of them. I always felt paranoid that someone heard me camming so for a while I switched back and forth with using sound. My earnings were pretty much the same as when I used sound. Its just annoying as fuck to have to type all the time. You will be fine without sound your just going have to type alot more. Also if guys insists on wanting sound then you can just tell them to catch you online in the day time. When I cammed without sound I had regulars get online in the morning just so they could get a show with sound.

On a positive note on SM... Yesterday, I asked for a rating to be removed (guy took me private was in a whole 51 seconds and gave me a 2) I was like wtf! SM removed and emailed me back within 2 hrs! then I had a pic up I hated, I asked if they can removed, said I looked to white in it pasty haha and it was taken down within 4 hrs!!
Maybe they have something good going on.

That's good to know because I have never had any issue with SM support. I've asked them to remove bad ratings a few times and they were very helpful! I hope you ban that fucker next time he cums in.

WOW! I just signed up for a member account to see what other transsexual girls are charging and the majority are only charging $1.99 and over. WTF! That's just so sad. When you're a novelty, you have to charge more. No wonder why a lot of custies tell me I'm too expensive.

I got kicked off SM in the middle of a multi guy pvt. Messages them and they just responded with a list of what I was possibly doing wrong. I'd buy into all of that if my Internet and computer weren't above and beyond what they were suggesting I fix. Also, I didn't freeze on the guys. They both told me the screen turned into a huge exclamation point and they got kicked out. Ugh.

Mine was showing as issued last night (Wednesday night). Sometimes it doesn't show until Thursday afternoon but the checks always come on time. For me, anyway.

How long (or how big of an earner?) do you have to be on SM before they enable gold shows? This is something I'd really like to start doing, as I have some show ideas that'd be better as a gold show, and I don't know when I'll be able to offer them. I've been on SM for about three months now, always on the upper 2nd page. Mes wants gold show! :P

I think that you have to have a 5 star rating.. I never asked for it, mine just showed up saying I could now do gold shows
Marina Starr
01-31-2013, 02:49 PM
You can actually do gold show at 4 1/2 rating. SM let me do it a long time ago but I don't do gold shows.

That's good to know but I didn't ask for Gold Shows. SM just messaged me saying they've enabled it for me.
It depends who ask it and who answer your question in support. Some girls get GS function after camming only few shifts (with 4 1/2-5 ratings) in couple of days and some will get it after 2 months, some after 5 months.. (even have "all"= using encoder every time, high internet speed, sounds, high quality webcam/camcoder...) Some get it with 4 1/2 ratings some with 5 stars. Some get it with 4 1/2 ratings with not so high quality webcam/camcoder and not so high quality computer and not so high internet speed and some cannot get it with higher quality things. It helps if you are US girl. Good luck=)

I had the weirdest dream that I suddenly got the Gold show option on SM. I was all excited to see it, and then I was trying to plan a bubble bath Gold show. And then I woke up from my dream...lol.
Marina Starr

I don't think so. I just tested Gold show without using the HD Encoder and the Gold icon still lite up.

You're already approved for Gold shows though, right? That's probably why the icon is there for you...because you've already been approved for them. I haven't ever been approved for them though, so I was asking if I HAVE to use the encoder FIRST in order to get approved. I think I remember Incantatious saying that you HAVE to use the encoder a little bit at least, in order to get approved. Then I guess once you're approved for them, you could probably do with or without the encoder?
Even though I don't have the new laptop yet, should I still email Streamate and ASK them to enable me for Gold shows? Or should I just wait 'til I have the i7 laptop? I know how they like to pressure models to get an i7 laptop.
Marina Starr

I am not sure on that but I didn't have to ask for GS. SM just messaged me one day telling me I am now qualified for GS. You can message SM and see what they say.

BrownFox-- I wasn't using the Encoder at all when I had Gold Shows enabled. In fact, I never even asked for Gold Shows, after about a week back on SM under a new persona, I got a message saying I was approved. Just ask ladies, the worst they can do is say no.

I wish the 'edit profile photos' feature was better. The way it is now, I believe you can't even delete a photo on your own, and you have to ask Support to do it for you. I'm pretty sure it was sort of like that on Webcams.com too (managing profile photos was complicated there too).

This happened to me and after a few times of asking them to raise it back up, they permanently raised it. I would ask them to do "permanently raise it to X amount" or something along those lines.

Thanks, girl! I told them to leave it at $10.99 and we shall see. If it happens again, I'll tell them to "permanently raise it to X amount". I hope tonight is better for you!

OMG Don't turn exclusive OFF!!! Raise your prices sky high instead.
If you turn it off, no one can use it, no matter how much they want to.
If you make your exclusive rate $25 a minute, you never know when you will get some guy who will pay ANYTHING to have you all to himself...it's like the girls on NF who never log off, but just raise the rate to $50 per minute when they don't want to take calls. No matter how much you hate it, at some point, the money is worth it.
