I just graduated to 90 hours per month! First time in awhile. I do notice placement has gone up, but not a whole lot. Took a night off and back on. I don't want to do the day shift. :-X

I always have a little glimmer of hope...last night I had a good night and made my goal in like an hour and a half. My placement has been better this week than literally ever before. But I'm still getting completely uneven traffic. I've had a few minor glitches but not any massive ones. So even people whose placement isn't dropping and who aren't running into glitches all the time can't get shows. I mean I'm still only middle page 1 but that should mean I'm not sitting in a room completely alone for 5-10 minutes at a time, right?

Okay dont hate me. I havent started using the new encoder settings. Next Monday I will when my new 4G internet is hooked up (pumped!) and I havent been on much because of other work and a brief stomach bug but today I did go on and I was super busy! Lots of clients, Prvts and Excl. Not a single drop off and no one said anything about glitches.

I did have lots of the typical "show ...... bb" type freeloaders. I noticed this has increased significantly in my room since I now also appear at the top of the page to European clients but that didnt effect my earnings. My Paid percent is at 43% which I would consider high for a Thursday.

I dont want to be the only "everything is beautiful" hippie on here but this thread could use a bit of sunshine. Its become down right depressing so I thought I would share.

i have now 118 hours. and i have more bad placement than i had less 90 hours! i dont know why.

When I think about placement I consider the next factors, I saw the way they affected me during time:

- streaming quality
(are you streaming in HD? *you should*)
(are your BT and RTT alright? *try keeping them average or above*)
(are you using sound? *you should*)

- time in paid chat
(above 25%, if you get above 40% is even better *I heard many models saying is a way to trick the servers*)

- how many new clients do you estimate you have?
(that means, DON'T try to make your goal only with your regulars, SM counts how good you are at turning a non-paying customer into a paying one)

- how many hours do you put on?
(at least 90, but only if you have a decent month. I always saw is better to work less and efficient, than a lot and bad. which translates into: "don't stay too much online if see your average went down more than usual. still, try to put on those 90 or at least 75)

- how many favorites do you have?
(go back to the point with new clients, same logic, more is better)

- what is you average per hour?
(every week I calculate mine *do not add the cammodels earnings, they don't count, they are just extra*, then see if you managed to improve it in the last 90 days. yes, statistics are made every 90 days)

- are you consistent?
(don't work 12h - 3 days per week *you won't have to deal with dead spots*, better work 5h - 7 days)

I don't know the order, some of them count more than the other ones, but keep them in mind. Anybody is free to add points on the list. This is strictly my experience and my friend's experience (she started camming after me).

Update: I forgot something.

- seniority
(every year you spend on the website, SM will give you a better position, that's why some veteran *top* models seem untouchable)

Why would someone hate you for having a successful shift? I'm happy for you that it went so well. I think most people do. Now I am only speaking for myself on this next part.... You may feel that this thread is depressing and that you are going to be attacked for making money, this is what you wrote. Now I think this contributes to that negative female narrative where we can't be happy for one another. It's simply not true. And you may not have thought as deeply about it as I have but it kinda annoys me. Not you personally but the idea that people should only post bad experiences in the camming sucks thread versus in the thread that pertains to the site that sucks for them. I love hearing about people who are doing well but because you are please don't think for a second that you can't talk about it. Its way more complex than Camming Sucks vs Camming Rocks. I personally am not affected by sunshine post or doomsday post more than the other. I like to read em all. Maybe Im overthinking it but I just don't like the separation.

^^ The converting new clients thing is something I wouldnt have considered in their algorithm but your absolutely right that is probably a huge factor! I always work from the perspective that anyone who enters my room is a potential client and I regularly get new regulars! Even when all other factors are shitty (like hours or RTT) I am always on top. I wonder if this is what keeps me there!

I just recently realized this too. I know of another platform that I work on that uses this heavily in the placement. So if you can actually keep guys in your room through all the gliches then I imagine it would help and give you a boost.

I know for sure is a huge factor, even Katy mention it somewhere. If you look in the first rows, most of the models run gold shows and do pvt/excl shows, they juggle with both. Right now you can count on your hands top models who do only pvt/excl. Why? Gold shows are an easy way of attracting new clients, which can lead to a high score in turning new guys into customers. Still, at the same time, you can't get a high percentage in paid chat just by doing them, so you need to "save" time for pvt/excl too. Balance, the key word.

Ah! Um.... I think I was just trying to keep it light. I didnt think you gals would be hating on me for real. it was intended to be facetious not literal. Just feeling like the odd girl out when I came to read the most recent posts today. I wasnt trying to contribute to some "female narrative". I really do need to learn that sarcasm doesnt come across well in text, so my fault!

I am also unaffected by reading the good, bad and the ugly and I assume most of the chicas here are the same so I thought the sarcasm would come through. No offence intended.

Yes, I've seen a general uptick in traffic since I opted in for tv gold shows (the only gold shows I do) and a very tiny bump in placement. Thank you, awesome jello wrestling female producer, who has been giving me consistent tv gold shows!
What I think is interesting is how many new fetish clients I've picked up in the last month. No idea how they found me/ where they came from, but thank god!

You know you can report producers too? Plus, try to be tolerant with them, they do customer support at the same time *which can be super annoying*. Not to mention they changed the producing team a few months ago, cause some of them got promoted into supervisors.

You don't have to do the gold show, is enough to do a teasing to attract some customers in your room. Some of them might be interested in pvt/excl.

My issue since about July had been the opposite of Kitcatt: my fetish traffic has all but disappeared.

I don't offer many hardcore specialties (squirting, anal, deepthroat/gag, large toys) and I charge high prices. Most guys aren't willing to pay my exclusive rates for, while I believe it is still a good show, a pretty tame vanilla event. Unless they become very taken with my personality/looks, most of these guys would rather move along to another lady catering to a wider array of vanilla options for an equal or better price.

My bread and butter is fetish. I used to make almost half my weekly pay off of cuckolding dudes. I cater to most any fetish allowed on SM along with femdom.

These guys are usually willing to pony up the big bucks (they know they are kinky mofos) and are polite to boot (minus all those annoying fake-subs). Where did they all go?? Did anyone else notice this phenomenon?

I'm hoping I can rope in some new guys because as a gal who doesn't enjoy (or hustle very well, tbh) gold shows, I need my fetish dudes to keep up only offering pvts/exc.

Anyway, I am not getting carried away with conspiracy theories re: placement and traffic. I've been suffering these past few months, don't get me wrong, but I can't dwell on things out of my control and possibly not even a part of reality.

Yes, it's gold shows can be a catch 22. You could sit and try to run one and not get the show after spending 3 restarts and say, 40 minutes trying to get it started which could kill your paid chat time and drive away potential pvt/ excl show guys who don't want to wait AND make potential new clients think that you're not worth watching because you don't have enough people bidding in. Or you could get the show, get new custys and flowers and rainbows and shit. OR just get a new small group of guys who beg for gold shows and never want to do anything else.
OR you could NOT do the gold show and find yourself sitting in free chat for an hour wondering if you should have run one and maybe you missed out on potential $$$.
Personally I'd rather sit on my ass in free chat than deal with the influx of bb guys who can't give me 4 fucking dollars to get a show started. Hence the "only guarenteed shows unless I have some weird bug up my ass to do one" for me.

You don't have to do the gold show, is enough to do a teasing to attract some customers in your room. Some of them might be interested in pvt/excl.

You mean just run a countdown without the intention to complete a gold show? I almost never do gold shows, they dont work for me cause the show type i offer but i could do with some 'self promoting'. So how to do this pls if i want to sell privates actually? What to tell the guys "Hey guys, nice to meet u, i am here to show u myself & turn u on, pls come private if u like what u see & are interested?" I offer foot fetish & vanilla/ softcore shows, will this method work for me then? Or u meant different maybe? Ty for input xx

yeah thats what i hate about it. I noticed guys dont like tipping in for my shows unless its 1.00 or 2.00 and my goal is like 50 lol its like they want it almost for free. thats why i only like to do them if im literally not making shit. my sister in law gets all her shows lol and her goal is high and pay in is too so idk maybe i suck at them

Okay dont hate me. I havent started using the new encoder settings. Next Monday I will when my new 4G internet is hooked up (pumped!) and I havent been on much because of other work and a brief stomach bug but today I did go on and I was super busy! Lots of clients, Prvts and Excl. Not a single drop off and no one said anything about glitches.

I did have lots of the typical "show ...... bb" type freeloaders. I noticed this has increased significantly in my room since I now also appear at the top of the page to European clients but that didnt effect my earnings. My Paid percent is at 43% which I would consider high for a Thursday.

I dont want to be the only "everything is beautiful" hippie on here but this thread could use a bit of sunshine. Its become down right depressing so I thought I would share.

Yeah I haven't been having any issues. My paid chat is at 40% too this week. I'm honestly getting more people in my room then I've had in a while. I'm already over my minimum weekly goal.

I don't want to hear "Oh Audri, you don't count because you are a top model." Last week my room was a ghost town. and the week before. I struggled to make my weekly goal the past 3 weeks.

My other issue with gold shows is that it's generally NOT the clientel I want to attract. I want to make money NOT fucking my pussy, or not doing fuck shows at least.
And yes, Belle, I had an enourmous drop in fetish clients over the summer and it wasn't until the end of last month that they started rolling into my room. I think I've become cuntier in free chat and its helped a bit.

My issue since about July had been the opposite of Kitcatt: my fetish traffic has all but disappeared.

I don't offer many hardcore specialties (squirting, anal, deepthroat/gag, large toys) and I charge high prices. Most guys aren't willing to pay my exclusive rates for, while I believe it is still a good show, a pretty tame vanilla event. Unless they become very taken with my personality/looks, most of these guys would rather move along to another lady catering to a wider array of vanilla options for an equal or better price.

My bread and butter is fetish. I used to make almost half my weekly pay off of cuckolding dudes. I cater to most any fetish allowed on SM along with femdom.

These guys are usually willing to pony up the big bucks (they know they are kinky mofos) and are polite to boot (minus all those annoying fake-subs). Where did they all go?? Did anyone else notice this phenomenon?

I'm hoping I can rope in some new guys because as a gal who doesn't enjoy (or hustle very well, tbh) gold shows, I need my fetish dudes to keep up only offering pvts/exc.

Anyway, I am not getting carried away with conspiracy theories re: placement and traffic. I've been suffering these past few months, don't get me wrong, but I can't dwell on things out of my control and possibly not even a part of reality.

I am with u here, my bread and butter was/ is my fetish guys but not getting too many lately, i think they went to the girls who offer a larger variety of shows. Well, cant help it, not willing to go hardcore now just to please these guys, am really not into pain u know, so what hurts me i dont do it (hard anal, deep throat etc) & i cant squirt so yeah, i do what i am comfortable doing.

Never put a cheap show. For example, try $100 for $4-$5 buy in. Be nice, tease them if you want that, write your topic the same way you would present your normal show, interact with new people, that's it. You want to attract guys in your room and just running a countdown will get more people in there. A lot of guys use the option of Gold Show (up on the page at Features) to find new girls. And some of them might really like you and go in private/exclusive if they see your GS won't start. Now, if you get a decent amount, let's suppose somebody tipped you $150, I would advise you to do that show just to please "the man".

Yesss ^^^this. I did this last night. I gave it two tries. It was pathetic with only one or two tippers. no show. I started upselling my pvt/exclusive letting the tippers know that they can get a one on one show with me just for them, I wasn't willing to wait on these people. I got a bite for a 15 minute block!!

This is going to be my last week on Streamate for a while. I'm tired of being tired and bored. I'm losing my passion for camming because of this site and the way the "customers" have been bred into not chatting/going private. I'm seeing SM follow the path of other sites like IMLive...very little traffic, and most of it useless. Just in and out names all day long. The glitches have become unbearable and too hard to work around. I know maybe this is just a rough week, for whatever reason...but I'm just bored with this site. Even when the money is good I don't enjoy it anymore. I don't enjoy the atmosphere of the site anymore. The good days are too far and few between. The customers are boring...demanding...and rude. Not sure which site I will focus on now...but wherever it may be, it's gotta be more fun than this.

I'm hanging on by a thread. I'm giving SM 1 more month and if shits still funky I'm walking. Got my eyes on a few opportunities. Enough is enough already.

Hey Ladies!

So has anyone else FPS(frames per second) dropped? If your placement dropped then your FPS maybe has too. Because I'm normally in row 3-5 of page one, and now I dropped down to the middle in the past few days. But the thing is I haven't changed equipment! And the fps dropped BEFORE I started to use the HD720 BASIC file. So this HAS to be on streamates end, since I changed nothing when the FPS first dropped. I messaged them, and I'm waiting for their response. If you know anything about the FPS dropping, and how maybe I CAN fix it without waiting on Streamate, please let me know.

So if your placement has dropped, check your fps. And is the rumor about the BCC Conference Cam not being good with the HD720 FILES true? I don't have the new SM broadcaster, still using the Adobe Encoder since I am Mac, not PC. Anyone know a camera like the Logitech C920 but for Mac? UGH! Trying to figure this thing out! Mucho Gracias if you know anything!!!!!

I posted a forum post about mac users and how to get your camera to force the 1280x720 and 30 FPS so It doesn't show up 8-11 fps with FMLE.

Bumped the post, its for mac users with issues with the 8-11 fps (the title, something like that) go do that it'll fix it.

Note again, this is for MAC users only. Anyone having issues with windows, I'm unsure. I tried to find a program like camtwist (for windows) to force resolution and FPS but was unable to so I went back to using my 920C Logitech because it has its own (Logitech) drivers, where as any of the business cameras (930e bcc950) do NOT have Logitech drivers and ONLY use the plug and play feature and USB drivers (through windows) which makes it WHY the camera will not go into its true resolution form while using FMLE.

^^ The converting new clients thing is something I wouldnt have considered in their algorithm but your absolutely right that is probably a huge factor! I always work from the perspective that anyone who enters my room is a potential client and I regularly get new regulars! Even when all other factors are shitty (like hours or RTT) I am always on top. I wonder if this is what keeps me there!


Just to clarify, do you guys mean getting a paid show from a customer who has never bought one from you before? Or getting a paid show from a customer who has never spent money on the site at all before? The reason I ask is because I normally have "free chat" turned off in my settings. Either way, I'm assuming it could only help me to turn it on.

^^^New to the site. This is why I run cheap gold shows every so often, and spam the free chat section with pre-set messages telling them to sign up with a CC.

I totally agree with euro_princess - it's all about balancing GS and pvt/exc to keep all the placement factors high.

audritwo
09-24-2015, 03:31 PM
Yeah I do that to. Mute free chat and let them know if they want to talk to me, fully register their accounts with CC. It's free.
Also tip menu spams.

Maybeeeeeeee I can stop banging my head against the wall a LITTLE bit. I finally called my ISP cause my net was randomly dropping yesterday and found out there is some external signal issue and they are supposed to be here first thing in the morning to fix it, so perhaps maybe atleast 50% of my issues this week is from my pos ISP, and let's hope they fix it and I have a banging Friday night n sat day shift and it'll double my weekly earnings, cause hell, I NEED a pick me up soon, lol.
