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.
i thuoght the max u can go on sm was $15 0.0

Im on the fence about posting pix up on my profile. I read in one of the first pages in this thread that you shouldnt put pix up on ur profile because guys jack off to them. But I'm wondering if I should so when guys ask for flashes I can tell them to look at my profile pix or take me pvt if they want to see what i took like standing or my ass etc.

I just have one photo that is also my default pic. I get asked all the time why I don't have more photos and I always reply "Because why look at lame ass stills when you can have actual interactive fun??" I personally don't ever take requests in freechat. I don't show anything for tips, I don't show ass, feet, anything. But that's what works for me and it took awhile of experimentation to get there.

Just out of curiosity...do you think enough guys would pay to see a bubble bath/shower GOLD show where the model is wearing a shower cap on her head the whole time, or no? LOL. What if it was a chocolate syrup/whipped cream shower show?

yall know i normally never rant but i do feel the need to just let this out for a sec
I made a custy acct with SM yest finally,and it asked me if i wanted to be set up with their free erotic dating service site as well.i clicked no,i MADE SURE i opted out of all that crap.but what do i see in my inbox this morning? like 4 of their dating service emails,with "friend requests" from models etc.(and OF COURSE,it showed the models pics AND vids)
That really didnt piss me off too badly,what pissed me off was the the 3rd email,which wasnt a friend request but rather a MEET request.yuuup, it looked like a friend request but instead it was a request to meet in person for "fun".Id screenshot it but Im super busy today and dont really have time to edit out the model's pic on there.I knew they were doing the whole dating sites and bots thing,which is infuriating in itself,but i signed a contract and I was aware of the risks when i signed it.but this still pisses me off nonetheless,no wonder so many guys ask to meet up and then are furious when i act like theyre outta their fucking minds.

That is absolutely unacceptable. They're LYING to customers on our behalf? That's insane & makes me angry. Are these SM models this company is saying will meet up with customers? I mean, maybe it's just another shady "affiliate", but if it's SM doing it, that's lame.

Im sure it was just another asshat affiliate,the thing that really pissed me off was that it asked me when i signed up (through SM main site of course) if i wanted to make a free dating profile through them as well.i checked no,went back and double checked to make sure i was completely opted out of it etc yet they went ahead and did it anyways,made a freakin profile for me and everything.Of course,all of the "info" on my profile was total bullshit but still,thats besides the point.(and of course,im even more irate about the meet up requests)
Yes it was SM models,they even had a meet in person TAB,where any models that have sent you a meet request go.fucking ridiculous. It was obviously another affiliate but i guess it just irked me that SM is offering this when you sign up,and then making an account for you even if you ask them not to.and theres no way to cancel it! you stay a "basic" member if you want to cancel.say huh??? I guess it makes me feel like even though theyre an affiliate,the fact that SM is asking if i want this service and then signing me up for it regardless,makes me feel like theyre "tied" to SM more than some of the other 3 million white labels out there...

^^^when I created an sm customer account for verifications I got signed up to a dating site as well. It wasn't on sm, it was a separate site, can't recall the name...City-something, I think*
at the time I didn't really know anything about sm so I didn't immediately recognize any of the chicas profiled there. Cuz I don't use credit cards I has used my guy's plastic and info to make the account, when I saw the dating site email in the account the day after I had signed up to sm, at first I thought HE had created a profile on a dating site. I was like...ummm, wtf is this? He had no idea, so we went through the site togther and I recognized a chica who used the same avatar pic here as she did on sm. From there we compared the dating profiles to sm and yep, identical.
Funny moment looking back, he was worried I thought he was cheating so he was trying to get me to look through his browsing history to 'prove' he had nothing to do with it. It was cute.
Still, crappy for y'all who have to deal with 'date traffic' while you're working
*edit: since I signed up directly through sm this program clearly has the blessing of sm (ie: it's not the practise of a rogue affiliate or white label)

Wowzers now i get why so many guys come into my room with the "Where u live" "i just wanna talk" and or "get to know u" bs
Thanks for sharing that.
So basically SM has a fake dating site to try and trick custies into thinking they''ll get to met us IRL but whats the point of that?

My meet requests had a models profile,with her "friends",pictures AND videos,and they were definitely chicks from SM.It looked EXACTLY like it was from each model although obviously,like you said,its just automatically generated by the website.
Im sure there will be some ladies who roll their eyes and say " well,you were aware youd be signing over your soul pretty much when you signed that contract,so deal with it" but it still pissed me off nonetheless.
I just had to rant about it for a min- we all know there are bots and ladies hired out there specifically to pretend they are us to try and drive traffic to the site but the main reason i was so mad is bc like Loveshooks said,since this happened automatically and SM gave them my info even though i opted out of it,its like theyre giving their blessing to this affiliate,actually more than that really bc its not like theyre just looking the other way,its like theyre pretty much in collaboration with this white label.
I had heard of affiliate dating sites before,several models here have commented about them but i havent ever ran across something so blatantly promoted by SM that included meeting in person before! *shudder*

I really can't understand that marketing strategy. Guys will be pissed off once they find out that we are "material girls" and we are not looking for Mr. Right, and for us is annoying not just the fact that we will have to deal with more assholes but also that SM is "using" our profiles to other kind of business not related to camming.

I just did like 3 or 4 attempts at an $8 for 8 minute Gold show, and it didn't happen because the only person who contributed was one of my regulars. Oh, and some guy had the nerve to say to me "$8? Those are pretty high stakes." *rolls eyes* Please...you probably spent 10 times that amount at Game Stop today...lol. Would you rather pay my exclusive rate of $5.99/minute, jizzbag?
I know a lot of guys are used to paying 50 cents per minute and less for Gold shows, which is fine too. But really...ANY Gold show is a bargain compared to our rates for exclusive/premium. So anyone who complains about a $1 per minute Gold show is a moron.
I could see myself maybe doing a 5 minute toy show with a minimum buy-in of $5 Gold (I'm sticking to $1 per minute pricing on Gold shows). Then some buttmuncher is gonna be like "But 5 minutes isn't enough time, bb!" Oh well. If the minutes go up, the minimum buy-in goes up! Don't like it? Go somewhere else.

if you get anyone who claims that they found you through a dating site and that you sent them a friend or meet in person request,then youll know for sure they found you through that site.which actually really isnt their fault,bc SM signs new members up for that site even if they check the "no" box when it asks if you want to sign up for a dating profile as well.fucking ridiculous...

Exactly its like the guys who are like "$3 for 6 min is too much bb, do a $1 for 10 min bb plz" or the all too better "take off your top bb you'll make goal fast bb"
Ughhhh
I was doing my standard $5 for 6 min show earlier today and had a guy ask what he got for joinin the show.... I chewed him a new one... Wtf does he want 5 extra videos plus the show for $1.75 my cut... I don't think so.
This is why i don't usually do gold shows... They can pay the $5.99/$9.99 all day long...lol

Yes! HAHA.
One thing about Gold shows...even though it's cool that it makes your room fill up with guys, I'm pretty sure a lot of those guys are just sitting there HOPING you'll get topless at the halfway point. They're not fooling me one bit, and I'm sure that's what some of the guys in my room were doing earlier...waiting around to see if my tits will come out yet. I've seen some of the same guys jumping in and out my room like they're just checking back to see if I'm topless yet. I'm sure y'all see it a lot in other rooms too. Guys not even chipping in will ask the model "Tits out halfway?"

Quickie questions....do you girls watermark your profile pics? and do you use the same profile pics on different camsites?
PrincessLuna

I don't believe you can watermark your photos because legally SM owns them once you upload them. If anything, they'd just deny their upload.

And I was under the impression you can watermark on SM as long as its just your name.I can't remember which thread this was just discussed in, but a bunch of people weighed in on this topic, again, and I thought the general consensus was that if you watermark, should only use your name bc even putting yourname.cammodels.com could get you in trouble

I'd save two copies of the photo, one with and without the watermark. I mean, the worst that happens is they won't approve the upload so it's worth a shot.

I'm 99% positive that does NOT apply to Italy = Italian nationals get 35% of gross sales.
With DP they would get 30% of gross.

Lovely start of the week.....Now I'm gonna have to hop back on again in the afternoon so I can make something in time to meet the daily pay cutoff.
