Just a Q for you all. Do you find it affects how much you earn a lot whether you talk or type in free chat?

I've been trying to transition from typing to talking and I just find it so boring saying the same stuff over and over. Actually, when the room is busy it's not so bad, but when it's quiet I feel like I'm talking to my imaginary friends (who ignore me).

I'm the opposite -- I can't stand typing (well, not on a social/chat platform like this, that is. I used to be a professional transcriber, so I technically love typing, but I hate it in a communicative sense.)

I individually greet everyone that comes in my room. I start with typical small talk (hey, what's up, how are you, etc.) and usually they reciprocate. I rarely do the fake/cliche "I'm so horny right now" bit when they ask me how I'm doing. Instead I genuinely tell them about my actual day/mood, or talk about whatever is on my mind; in my experience giving the guys a less contrived experience and being more authentic is a lot more appealing to most of them than trying to push privates in a really obvious way. I tend to snag a lot of cool new custies based on actual shared interests.

One of the most valuable things camming has taught me is how to initiate conversation and be more confident with the way I speak -- before this I was super introverted and shy. I still am in many ways, but I've gotten a lot more comfortable with general socializing. Although I still greatly prefer to talk to anonymous/virtual names on a screen than an actual face in real life. :)

LOL @ imaginary friends who are ignoring me! That is happening a lot to me lately. I am an extrovert and loquacious by nature so I talk to them constantly. I am always saying the only way to shut me up is take me excl/prvt and get a dick in my mouth! I dont even know what to do with myself if no one is talking to me. I only need a single "hru?" to start down a road of talking your ear off!

Thing is I dont know if I make more doing it because its something I cant stop doing! I love making them laugh or get mad or just turning them on with stories and antidotes. Im a top row girl though so I must be doing something right.


^^ My RTT is very good, actually near perfect when I don't splitcam and I am in Canada not near SM headquarters. I don't think being near their servers plays that much into RTT. There are girls who live in Seattle and I have better RTT then they do. I do however, have a good system, good internet and true 1080p stream, (USB 3.0 speedport). It is possible to up your RTT without moving to Seattle. I think the secret is to use a true USB 3 webcam/capture card. The Logitech cams are not true USB 3 webcams, they are just "USB 3 ready" which is bullshit, it just means they can plug into a USB 3 input but they are not capable of utilizing the speed of that port. USB 3 have the superspeed port which looks quite different from USB 2.

There are 2 webcams on the market right now that have the superspeed USB 3. If you are serious about camming I recommend getting the Hovercam 3po webcam. It costs around $350 USD. The other webcam is much more expensive.

I want to go back here. I'm with tropo here, being in Spain means my RTT is never going to be below 300. To make it worse there is no internet where I live so I have only satellite internet available (comes through radio, microwaves or something, just does my head in!!). Just had it upgraded to the max speed of 3Mbps. Still Im physically too far away to the server to be faster (I remember a rumor from a certain princess that they might put a server in Europe.) The new 720 settings have got me freaked! I dont want to lose placement if I cannot stream in the 1280/720. Can one of these expensive cams help me with that. I have 3.0 super fast USB ports so I can support the fast cam and I have the money but is it worth it if my internet is topped off at 2 or 3Mbps anyway???

ETA:What is the "other webcam"? Must know the best of everything!!

Yes, if you have the system, these webcams or a USB 3 vid/firewire capture card with camcorder/dslr will make an impact on your RTT and your earnings because your stream will look so much better. There are 2 webcams on the market right now that use USB 3, the Hovercam 3po and the Point Grey USB 3 Vision. The Hovercam is $350 and the Point Grey are in the thousands depending on which configuration you get. You can really customize them for your needs...they are more geared towards security and healthcare use.

Another secret, is to use the XLovecam webcamsplitter (Verysoft Webcamsplitter modified for cam models) with their Flux Manager. Somehow these geniuses were able to optimize FMLE so that your stream looks much more clear and smooth. The trade off though is that you need to join their site as a model to get their software. They take the cost out of your commission. The cost is €9.99.

Yes, that is integrated USB 3. You can use the USB 3 superspeed devices. They usually have this cable:

Was just reading through and wondering why alot of girls don't seem to know where there "placement" is? Isn't that just the order you are on the site? Like second row third picture? I always thought that was how I determined my placement, wondering if i've been doing it wrong....when I am logged in, I just open a new incognito window and go to the site to see where I am.
Would really like to make some friends on streamate also, I have been on the site for I think about 3 years and don't know a single other model. I need help :) I see all of you posting these huge amounts that you make each week, and I don't even compare. I spend between 5-9 hours a day every day on the site make the full 35% and my biggest check was in the four hundred dollar range. I am okay looking I think and I try to be perky most of the time, but I always end up having to get down to my panties and play with something (outside the panties) just to get 8 people in the room and then they quickly leave. I'm usually on the front page, sometimes even in the second row. I've tried staying fully clothed and not breaking out any teasers, but that really doesn't help matters...

Awesome, so we don't need a separate couple account just let them know which account we will stream together from? (per issabelle's reply?) Thanks Katy!

As long as both of you are registered models (because SM needs to have both of your IDs on file), then you can do this without a couples account. Again, you'll have to talk to Liz directly as regular support will try to force you to make that couples account. In terms of which account to stream on, I suggest using the account for whichever of you has the better placement.

Placement you pretty much have figured it out. Some girls have geo blocks on so they cant see themselves. I think that is the issue.

As for not having friends, hang around here and get verified! set up social networks and add other cam girl to it then interact with them there!

Your account on SW is 2 years old but you havent contributed much and so I wonder if you have really spent time reading through all the information here that you can. Cause how to make more money is not a simple answer but there is so much great advice on this forum to help you with exactly that. Start reading it all, and not just camming connection branch out as well.

I know we all want a simple formula as to how to make huge sums of money but there just isnt one. You need to figure out who you are, what you offer and how to hustle that. So start reading!

^^^ Yes & it also depends on if u work Classic or Party chat, i do Classic, i dont wanna 'sound busy' for the new guy entering my room cause i know what clientele i have, whom i attract, my fetish guys want full attention so i try to answer everyone in particular but if they too many wanting to talk i use the preset messages i created to sound 'individual' lol, i post to the whole room but they think i type to them only :)
Then i can play around telling a regular who sits there "hey wanna play now? i have this other guy who is wanting a pvt, come in before he takes me" :), he often bites, there might be nobody else in my room but he does not know ;) or there might be some other guys but i want HIM cause i know he pays good.
Or i get a guy saying "show me this or that (for free), nobody will see here but me" and i tell him "Good try, my room is full of people u just dont see eachother guys, tip 5 gold for ur request" which is true in Classic chat anyway, sometimes they tell me "Good try" but it's still OK, most of the time i play them well :) while in party chat i cant do that, they see everything.
Considering my cam style (fetishes) do not work for gold shows cause my guys always like different things (not even two of them will want the same thing) i just dont need gold shows. It was a time when i simply wanted to make GS's work for me but i understood i dont have what it takes for that kind of hustle so i 'calmed down' and went on with my personal cam style making the money the way i like. Cheers!

ETA: By the way, different time of the day (yesterday i catch the busy hrs here) better speeds for Seattle thru another ISP, so like Tropo said, it matters a lot what time of the day i use to test (cam) & what nodes the signal travels by. Still the ping is in the 200 range compared to 8 ms !!! local!
Imagine if we had some servers in Europe, hey SM, u going to put some over here too? ;)

I've been trying to transition from typing to talking and I just find it so boring saying the same stuff over and over. Actually, when the room is busy it's not so bad, but when it's quiet I feel like I'm talking to my imaginary friends (who ignore me).

I started typing and I ended up talking.I can't get guys to chat or pay when I am typing but they do when I am talking.I have an accent and they all love it .Now I hate typing.I splitcam and on the other site guys often don't have sound on,I get annoyed when I have to type.But indeed it gets boring when the room is not busy and I feel like a broken record when greeting in and out guys.

I only talk in shows or during GS countdowns, because talking causes much confusion. Given like 70% of nicknames are either obscene or utterly unreadable, in most cases I can't specify who I'm talking to and have to just repeat their last sentence. This may result in the person getting pissy about me reading the question they meant to be private in front of everyone, or others getting grossed out by their fetish or thinking I'm too busy and leave. Things only get worse in Classic chat which is my main chatting mode: users can't see each other so their reaction is "Who the hell are you talking to?!!". Me answering questions they didn't ask while they are (as it seems to them) the only user in the room makes some of them think I'm either busy chatting on another site or playing a record.
Also, the long periods of saying nothing but "Hi, how are you?" make me look rather needy and stupid than sexy and charming)).

I went on there for the first time in months and it was great. I did a longer show with a regular and my cut was a little over $90, I logged off after. I think my issue before was I didn't have another site I worked on, so I was super stressed when SM had issues. Now that I work another site I can log into SM and have fun because I don't have to just rely on them for cam income. Never be afraid to add another egg to your basket because it really can help you out when you need it.

My cam/encoder is doing that thing where the lighting flickers back and forth between looking absolutely perfect to appearing almost backlit...I think I read about this being an issue way back in this thread, and if I remember correctly there was a software program of sorts recommended to fix it? Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Was just reading through and wondering why alot of girls don't seem to know where there "placement" is? Isn't that just the order you are on the site? Like second row third picture? I always thought that was how I determined my placement, wondering if i've been doing it wrong....when I am logged in, I just open a new incognito window and go to the site to see where I am.
Would really like to make some friends on streamate also, I have been on the site for I think about 3 years and don't know a single other model. I need help :) I see all of you posting these huge amounts that you make each week, and I don't even compare. I spend between 5-9 hours a day every day on the site make the full 35% and my biggest check was in the four hundred dollar range. I am okay looking I think and I try to be perky most of the time, but I always end up having to get down to my panties and play with something (outside the panties) just to get 8 people in the room and then they quickly leave. I'm usually on the front page, sometimes even in the second row. I've tried staying fully clothed and not breaking out any teasers, but that really doesn't help matters...

Hi promised! If you're in the second row and your check isn't more than $400, perhaps you're not actually in the second row. Are you talking about on the first page? I'm am usually on the 3-6th row on the first page and my weeks are usually around $1k give or take. Something just sounds fishy here! If you ever wanted me message me, I'll help you figure out where your placement actually is. Do you have excellent internet connection via ethernet cable?

Have you received the 20% bonus for your earnings on august 26? I worked on that day and made a decent amount of money, since streamate claimed the bonus was till august 26 00:00GMT and the adjustment would appear within 24h, I was expecting it by august 27, I didn't receive anything, I contacted them and they said:
The bonus ended on 8/26. We are not releasing any bonus on 8/27 as that is past the bonus week

Ya I guess since we were due to actually RECEIVE our bonus on the 27th we don't get one cuz it ended on the 26th ...dumb they said we get 20% extra the 21st thru the 26th so since we don't get it till 24 hrs after its the 27th we'd Recieve it so we technically don't get a bonus on the 26th...there tricky with that wording ...I mean it's jist one day come on right geez

Does it happen when you get up or move the cam? If so, it's probably the cam adjusting the lighting level when you turn it to lighter objects which is normal.

The bonus ended Aug 25th at 23:59GMT basically, so anything on the 26th wouldn't have counted because come August 26th at 00:00GMT it was done... it was over by Tuesday evening at 8PM eastern time.

There was a lot of hosts on all day on the 26th and I figured they still thought they got the bonus, I took the evening of the 26th off and the day too when I saw 1700+ models online and knew it wasn't worth it to work with so many hosts online and no bonus.

Ladies that get paid through Payoneer does SM have to give you a link to sign up? I got my payoneer account through imlive does that matter? Can I still get paid from SM with that account?

Regarding the bonus, there were instances earlier of girls not getting paid who had to contact Liz. That said, check your times online to see if were working during the time the bonus was in affect first:

Bonus ran from August 21st 0:00 a.m. GMT through August 25th 23:59 p.m. GMT (well, they said UNTIL August 26th 0:00 a.m. GMT, but giving the minute it ends is better for clarity).

Converted to common US time zones, this means that the bonus was only in place from 5:00 p.m. PST August 20th to 4:59 p.m. PST August 25th.

For girls on EST time, the bonus would be 8:00 p.m. EST August 20th to 4:59 p.m. EST August 25th.

No work done after this time counted for a bonus--specifically, anything earned after 5:00 p.m. PST/8:00 p.m. EST on the 25th does not earn a bonus!

If you did work during these times and the bonus doesn't show (remembering that daily cut offs are at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST each day), then please contact Liz to make sure you get your hard-earned money bbs!

Yes, I take my money via payoneer too.
You go to your dashboard, and at "my account" , click on "choose who receives my payment" or something like that. And you have the payoneer option there.

After you complete, you go to your payoneer account and go to" activity" (left corner) and click on "funding sources". And it should appear 'ICF technology".
In that moment, it means you are registered.
Hope that helped.

Did you contact support? Could be their mistake or one of your documents needs redone or maybe an expired ID. I would email support...we can't really tell you what the issue is.

Wtf, SM?! Shows that I have a rating of 4* today in "My Ratings", I checked all the privates and I actually have one of 5*. What type of black magic is this? :|
Not to mention all the guys complained the website logged them off from pvt. Had a member who tried a few times to use his block session, got pissed and left. Anybody else having errors today?

I've had nonstop issues so far today (getting caught in limbo when someone takes me exclusive, guys getting booted, lagging...there's been an issue with literally every single pvt/exc). Only been on an hour though. Hopefully everything smoothes back out.

It took me less than 24 hrs for a bad rating to be removed. I emailed them with a screenshot of the PVT and an explanation. They were very prompt,

Two guys been disconnected from pvt & exclusive just now, i knew something was off cause one guy was a regular & the other really wanted to see me, cant be they wanted to log off that fast. Something is def. wrong with SM just now!

Bitrate dropped from 2000 to 900ish then back up hmmm.
Also regarding placement, what the main page on site shows for u girls who are in USA pls? All models like before or just USA models? I looked up my placement & even with an USA proxy i see only the models in my region?! They changing things again?!

I worked the morning/afternoon shift today and had a huge delay again (1-2 mins) and had a few custies getting stuck going into pvt (used the pause trick it worked like a charm!). I had to log off after every single exclusive or pvt and come back on because I didn't want to risk the lag and people seeing me exposed in free chat. Highly frustrating.

Can someone please explain the pause trick? I had a customer complain he could only select "PVT" today and I didn't know how to troubleshoot. Thanks a ton

If someone takes you to exclusive I think it is and you accept but they are stuck in limbo (not connecting, and there is a delay) you can click pause, then resume, and they will show up in exclusive. It's weird, but it works 90% of the time for custies that get stuck going into exclusive. As for your issue with only being able to see PVT and not exclusive, I'm unsure.

Anywhere from 0 to 5. Usually 1 or 2.

So I'm using the encoder and yet on my rankings page it's showing that I'm not using audio or widescreen (I'm using SM's recommended settings). I feel like this is majorly throwing off my placement-- last week I was bottom if page 1 or top of page 2 and today I'm on page 3 or 4 and things are super dead in my room. Wtf?
