I'm getting the blank page when I click on "start show" as well. I guess I'm just not meant to make any money on Streamate today. Maybe it's time for my glorious reappearance on MFC! fml

30 an hour is still decent money!!!!! I make that too sometimes just depends on the traffic honestly.

Averaging $30 an hour for a job where you don't have to leave the house, commute, or wake up early if that's not your bag IS good.

Also where you don't need a no college degree or certification. But hey good/decent $$$; per hour, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly is subjective so.........

Ugh, i've had two guys get kicked from exclusive, one guy complaining about my cam freezing and my chat lagging. The first guy got kicked twice, came back the first time but I guess he was just as over it as I was the second time. At least my first two days went well, I might try again later but between the issues and the freeloaders i've been getting idk.
Sidenote: i'm new here (obvi lol) I just wanted to say thanks so much for this thread!

I logged off...was making barely any money. Thought I would peep around...model in my category doing a zero dollar gold show. I wanted to see if she got her goal...like sit in there and see. So i went to hername.cammodels.com. I was not logged into my customer acct...NOT LOGGED INTO MY CUSTOMER ACCT...she made her goal...her show started for me for free. Like I thought we had to at least be logged into our customer accts to verify age and stuff right? Is this a glitch too? Or do I understand this wrong?

I did a 3.5 hour shift and it seemed decent just slow, still managed to meet my goal which seemed unattainable but thanks to a baller reg for 1/4 of it and the traffic earlier, around 2am et it completely died for me, lots of complaints on freezing and lagging too. Same thing happened last night also, from 10pm-130am it was kicking then just died after 2am... coinky dink? not sure, but still managed goal both nights. I tend to fade out after about 3 hours online cause my back starts to bother me also so that doesn't help either. This afternoon it was #$%^ when the site went down to 100 models online but if you can get on and stay connected and deal with the laggy cams/freezing it still seems okay to make your goals (depending on what you are used to making). There is hope after all I can hit that 2k mark as long as there is no huge crash like last Saturday!

FYI a few days I had that exclusive issue too. Try this it worked for me: When you get the exclusive request window, click your break button. Try it and see what happens. BAM the guy was in my exclusive room. My status was listed as "on Break" LOL and he said it was telling him I was on break too, but we could chat and he could see me AND he was charged.
Of course that was also when the confidential phone service would ring my phone AFTER i logged off Streamate.

Not sure if it's the glitches but ppl keep popping in and right out before I even type hi, like reading a word from me will put a flaccid dick curse on them. Or maybe I'm just that ugly tonight lol.
I tend to fade out after about 3 hours online cause my back starts to bother me also so that doesn't help either.
I am exactly the same that's why i need a strong start & consistent money in the time i am able to stay on, after 3 hrs i cant sell anymore so it'll be a waste of time & ranking to stay on, freechat on SM is just soo exhausting cause i cant rest my face, have to keep lights on my eyes plus the position i stay in, it looks relaxed but is not, back hurts all the time. Typing to everyone the same answers and selling when in pain is no easy task. I should have surgery but there is nobody to look after me & the recovery is long so no way i can do this now, maybe later on i can pay for a laser procedure or something new expensive procedure i read about but not the classic way just now.

today i have a guy that has taken me into a 15 min block 5 fucking times, and each time, he said i froze and then within seconds, he gets kicked.. but.. I am still online.. It has honestly taken his whole 15 min and i havent even gotten undressed. This guy is a big time regular... I do not know if it is the phone, exclusive or what but i hope he asks for his money back!

Aww yeah I can sympathize for sure, I have to FORCE myself to sit straight otherwise I sit like a hunchback all slumped over... when my back really starts to bother me I just put my cam down and point it on my boobies and partially my face, that's normally the breaking point for me when I can't sit up straight anymore without it hurting. haha, seems to work, still sucks though, but you really have to do what you have to do! I remember days when I used to cam 14hr shifts and work 120 hours every 2 weeks, with getting older and going through all these issues with my back (I was in 10 rear-ended car accidents within 8 years from the age 12-20 and never got fixed properly and its getting worse as I get older) its hard to cam more than 30 a week. I'm not the young 'go-getter' cam girl I used to be, and I also think that I'm spoiled more so with how much I make per hr as opposed to what I used to. I feel like I've 'done my time' and 'earned my status' and have a certain expectation.. so when that isn't being made and having to force myself to work beyond my comfort zone I get really grumpy.. I kicked a regular out 3x last night because he was drunk and obnoxious and realized it was time for bed after not being able to feel my butt any longer.. lollll, little motivation and positive thinking is definitely what keeps me going! Well wishes and tons of $$ prayers to you!!

Normally if they stay over the half way mark (7.5 minutes) and then disconnect you get paid for the full amount! I would msg sm about that one and ask where the rest of your earnings are.

I've been having major issues with Streamgate too in the last week. Exclusives were getting short shifted, bitrate going to dismal levels, Flash server flatlining for no reason etc. No matter what settings I used or even switching to OBS didn't help. Not sure what SM did to piss off Adobe but it looks to be something to do with the the Flash servers.

Glitches continue. Mid-exclusive, my customer's cam2cam cut out and everything froze. It took like a minute for him to DC the show (or it DCed him? Not sure) and he couldn't answer me. Lovely...
SM, fix your DAMNED SHIT.

Today it seems like the only guys who can talk or stay in the room are the "show me bb" guys. And the ones who wanna play lets make a deal. But the spenders are showing up on other sites. Streamate ya'll better wake up.
Also wanted to add that the chat isn't loading still for many of the mobile customers. That's where my money was coming from.

Thank you for your post Cutie, it means a lot to me, wish u all the best there too, looks like we have things in common :), i used to work longer hrs myself, i was rocking Ifriends site and Imlive in their years of glory, even livejasmin until they got crazy with their picture/ stream requirements & rules; it was much easier to stay online longer hours when it was not mandatory to stay alert all the time like in freechat, i could close my eyes inbetween shows, lay in bed in a relaxed position, now i need to pose all the time lol.
I too feel like i dont want to work that hard anymore & i got spoiled too, i expect money & i am not willing to do much to get them, i am very selective with the shows & things i do & i think is normal when u reached a certain level of experience & income, i dont know if i do a quarter of the things i used to do when i started many years ago, maybe less.
This kind of work is meant to be done for a few years but not longer IMO, it's like modelling, sports, dancing, short time careers, there is a time when u 'on the wave' but then the curve goes down & u get tired of it, consumed, it's highly consuming, that's how it feels for me.
No matter at what age u start it, it matters how long u stay in the industry. Best is to start when young & have the power & enthusiasm & the force to rock it cause by getting older it'll be more difficult to do it. Health problems appear, body changes, cam work it's taking it's toll after a while.
Well, it is what it is & we do what we have to do. Hugs! Much love xxx

Hah! thats crazy the first site I started out on was Imlive, I remember working my ASS off to remain a HOF host there (then I had to spend over 50% of my online time in free chat to remain a HOF host, stupid..), even if I worked 10 hour days to make only 100 dollars and *I* too did SO Much more back then, now I don't do nearly 1/4 of what I used to! I remember looking back at my income at IML after 2 weeks and working 120 hours and thinking it was good and comparing it to what I make on SM now in ONE week in 1/3 of the hours! Its insanity. Moving sites could have been the best move ever. I don't even use toys anymore (I have issues down there and get a lot of pain with insertions) but to use them to suck on or lick or whatever...... and I'm very selective and picky also, I'll be quick to kick a member out thats abusive or if the chat is going where I want to, but you know, like we both said, we did our time in the earlier years, we are ALLOWED to be picky now! <3 to you also, wishing for the best for you in the upcoming weeks! and everyone else for that matter, lets hope SM gets back to its rocking self soon!

Does anyone else ever have this issue. When you check the site on your mobile almost all streams load. But when you check your own it freezes,times out and then says in a private? Because I get this consistently. And I'm not logged in when i check.

I get the dreaded black screen or it saying 'loading' forever and have to refresh like 5-6x before cams even come up if they even do. The mobile aspect of the site is so terrible.

But can you see other cammers? My issue is most of the time i can see others but by my own stream freezes and times out. Ive also had guys tell me that they can other peoples streams and somedays mine is one of the few that won't load.
Im not disputing that the mobile site sucks. Because it does. It just find it odd that on somedays the issue is very specific.

Hi! So, I'm new to this site and to camming in general--I just started last Wednesday on Streeamate. I know that traffic slumps happen, and I just had really good nights on Sunday and for a little of Tuesday...but last night and today have been really rough. I know a lot of tech issues are happening with the site and I had one disconnect on Tuesday but overall I haven't really had problems. I just want to make sure that I don't really suck at this and it's normal to have days when making a little money is like pulling teeth? I am going to have trouble meeting my goal for this week if I don't basically cam all day tomorrow and Saturday!

Well I will be honest.... I was originally coming back here to post that I wasn't impressed with your initial response Liz (I'm not good at ass kissing, sorry!), but this is a great idea.
I expect most models placement to take a hit with the amount of models that suddenly log on for this but hopefully this will drive the traffic back to Streamate so it shouldn't be an issue! On that note I should get back to work...
So colour me surprised now but lets hope this interaction and communication continues into the future where we work together to make as much money as possible for everyone involved.
Thanks.

Damn, seems like I chose the best week to go on vacation... Haven't cammed since last Tuesday and missed all the extreme glitchery. Read back a few pages, sorry you ladies had to deal with that.
I was planning to log a bunch of extra hours this weekend to make up for my absence anyway, so this extra 20% is pretty amazing timing.
Hope things go smoothly, good luck with all of your cam-a-thons! :dance:

This is amazing :) Thank you SM for making us feel like you appreciate us.
I'm not sure that I will actually be receiving the 20% bonus because even though I attempted to log in and work on both Monday and Tuesday- it wouldn't let me log in, and I'm not sure if they are giving it to all models who were active in general before Aug. 20th or if it was the models who were able to log in and actually clock hours during the week that the glitches were the worst. I logged in successfully last night- but it wasn't until around 9pm EST which would technically be the 20th already SM time. :(
I'm hoping I am because I could really use the extra money since this was supposed to be my rent hustle week and because I wasn't able to log in for the first half of it - that got all messed up.. but either way, It makes me so happy that they are doing something like this to make up for the fact that everything was a mess.
and HELL YES CAMATHON! either way!
