Did anyone else get the usual beggers and lurkers actually buying shows today? It was kind of blowing my mind. They were all short shows, but I didn't think they would ever part with a penny on a cam site.

Re: The guy who rated me one star.
Just as I predicted, it was an accident. He gave me a sincere apology, and said that he was positive he had chosen the 5 star rating. He had a conversation with Support and asked them to please change it to 5 stars, and they removed the bad rating. :) He even sent me a copy of the conversation so that I have proof that he really did talk to them. Awesome. He's a nice guy.
By the way, SM needs to have it so that it says in parentheses "worst" next to the 1 rating, and it says "best" next to the 5 rating...or something like that. That could be helpful just in case there are actually guys who assume that 1 is good.

Have you thought of signing up for Payoneer? I use them and have no issues at all.
i am so frustrated and not getting any help from support on this. just wanting to rant and to get some advice. my moneys on the line or rather its in limbo.
recently i moved out of US to another country and i went to change my address to my new one. all was well. then i noticed my paper checks where not coming in the mail so i went in to check my details and the site had glitched out or something because it had half of my new address and half of my old address as the payment address. i went in and tried to edit it but it would not update. i contacted support and after many a copy pasta response telling me that i could edit my details - which i already knew how to do - they eventually got the point n said they changed the address to the right one. it appears to be right on my profile even now. so once again i thought all was well.
however i have still not received any of my checks since late DEC. or my 1099s - nothing. when i write them about it they give me the "pay 25 bucks to get another check or wait 45 days to get it for free" response. at that point i thought well maybe because I'm not in the US it takes longer and that they'll come in eventually and i waited...and waited and waited.. still nothing.so i wrote back and i asked how long does it usually take to have a check sent to this country. they said 9 days. it has been well beyond 9 days for even the most recently issued checks. for the oldest check well over 45 days. ;(its really disheartening.
anyone else having this problem? what can i tell them? how long do you foreign girls usually have to wait for paper checks? do any of you ladies outside of the US use paper checks?
i tried to get a Payoneer card but they asked me to scan and send my social security card. is this normal? maybe i should just bite the bullet go to the embassy and get my card reissued to get one.
I'm wondering if the address looks fine on my end but still glitched out on supports end. its just weird to not be able to get a check from them. i should also mention i had them reissue the earliest check again since its been over 45 days but I'm worried since i haven't gotten any others that its just not going to the right place.
i wants my money lol

Private is group chat, anyone that pays can join. Exclusive is one on one only.
I just started on SM today, whats the difference between exclusive and private? and how do i know when freebies can see me or not? it appears as my cam is always visible

Is this a new thing on SM for models to get the icon on their profile picture "TOP MODEL CERTIFIED"? Or is just this model that wanna stand up the rest and show off? If it's not a SM thing how they approve such a profile picture with such label on it? Any clue pls?
I don't think that SM is labeling models as "top model certified". If that was the case then models like Nakita, Ava, Ember, Diamond, etc would have the icon. Sm allows writing on profile pics as long as what's written isn't directing the members off of the site. So the models you see with the icon maybe self labeling themselves. Also some of the models are with studios and the studio may be the one's labeling the pics.

YES! see,thats the shit im talking about! Im really glad that it WAS a mistake and that he went so far as to send you the conversation etc - That is an excellent idea.itd take two sec to add a worst and best in parenthesis next to the numbers,i guarantee you bad ratings would go waaaaaay down!
Reading your post,its made me realize that I need to back up and give everyone a chance to explain themselves. From now on,unless someone is a 30 sec peeper,requests something I dont do and then leaves my show in a huff,tells me I suck ass bc Im not going fast enough etc,basically makes it blatantly obvious that theyve given me a 1 on purpose,Im going to question them the next time they come into my room and see if theyre just confused about the rating system or if theyre fully aware and meant to give me a bad rating intentionally.
Im thinking I may be jumping the gun on too many of them and banning too quickly,I dont want to cut a potential repeat clients money off just bc they arent smart enough to figure out that 1= bad and 5 = kickass lol

Two questions here ladies, to the ones with member accounts on SM, i remember a while ago i read about the feature that when u hoover with mouse over a model picture in freechat u see her live in a small window w.o even entering the room? I mean when u logged in on site as a member.
Then, how do u know if a guy registered thru ur cammodels link, how is appearing in ur stats? i sent a guy the link but i am not sure he registered thru it cause when he came private just now the money looked like a normal session and not 100% revenue?! Never had a guy register thru my cammodels link and i was thinking this guy will do it :(

02-15-2013, 07:33 PM
I think that they list that income separately. I don't have the option on my page, but it should be a drop-down choice similar to "My Earnings". I think it's "Adjustments" or something like that.
You don't have to be logged in as a member to view a model's page. Yes, you can view free chat (from some sites, but not all whitelabels) by hoovering over the picture.

I haven't been on SM but have been doing the MFC thing. I think it messed up my hustle on SM! I'm starting to wonder if I need a different back up site. Have you ladies noticed the guys on SM being incredibly cheap lately? It seemed so much easier to get pvts in Oct/Nov... I HATE GOLD SHOWS too! Never make the goal so don't bother. I do pvts on MFC for more money and I get a bigger split. It seems harder for me to get a pvt on SM now. Anyway, I'm thinking about Chaturbate as an new backup... The last few times on SM I didn't get any pvts! Guess every site really is different for each girl. Sigh...

There's one guy named 'tattoo' who I'm considering blocking (I remember him from when I used to be on Webcams.com) because he never tips, and he hangs out in my room saying "Damn bb" if I'm flashing for SOMEBODY ELSE'S tip. When I'm not in the middle of a flash, he'll say "BRB" and run from my room to check out other models. Then he'll come right back for a few minutes, then he'll do the "BRB" thing again. I'm not even sure if he'd ever tip me on Webcams.com either.
Also, I was so happy about getting approved for Gold shows, yet I haven't been able to do one yet. It's okay. They can pay my usual rate of $5.99/minute for exclusive if they don't wanna take advantage of a $1/minute Gold show deal.....

Omg I get that guy alot, and he NEVER tips! He just talks sometimes or just sits there. When I see him again, I'm straight blocking him.
I haven't been on sm in awhile because I hate it there now. No traffic (I'm noticing less traffic in the top row/front page, too), and the guys that do come in, leave as quickly as the entered, sit and don't speak or do the "show ass bb" crap with no tipping. I have moved on, but may get on there again at some point to see what it's like in the future *shrugs.

Are you getting any traffic on SM ? For me it is SUPER DEAD :( lot of 30 sec peepers and guys logging in and off, asking for things against the tos or crappy questions, do you shit ? do you pee ? have you ever seen a cock during your childhood ? would you insert strange things in your pussy for me ? would you finger my ass ? Aghh
Then a guy took me private, I had a feeling he was a 30 sec peeper, I started talking to him, he didn't answer and he left, then came back after awile, I told him : are you expecting me to get naked within the 30 sec and he said : Yes !! I blocked his ass immediately.

So, these "member comments"...I have one customer who assures me up and down that he left a comment on my profile, and he says he's the only one so far (I've only done this for 4 weeks so that's not shocking). However, I can't find his damned comment ANYWHERE. Am I supposed to approve it? If so, where do I look? I've checked all the logical places, but I know better than to assume that SM will be logical.

No you dont approve comments,you cant even see them unless you check your profile out through your customer account (if you have one) or through your cammodels link,other white label sites etc.They only approve comments about once every 4 mths,I had several that didnt show up for evarrrrr.You can email SM support and ask them to approve any comments that you have gotten so far,tell them you feel it will bring you more traffic and privates if guys see that you have some good comments up about your shows.Not saying itll positively work,sometimes youll just get a copy/paste answer and will have to wait until they mass approve the next round of them,or you may get someone thatll actually approve them for you.Worth a shot anyways.Its talked about quite a bit in this thread,you just have to look back through all the pages (no small feat for sure lol)

I do not know what it was ,I had three awesome days back on SM. I took 2weeks off ,I have really never saw this much paying traffic since 2011 in my room LOL. Maybe it was that I put a diffident profile pic up or maybe it may have been my see thow fishnet mini dress you could see my nips. I don't know but wow I was for 2hrs made 63 when back last nite 4hrs made 100 for the day I made 163 for the day. I am am BBW my rates are low right now at 1.99 I really doing that, for motorvation ever 5 pounds I lose I raise my rates so I could have made double what.Just wanted to share.

And then when I tell certain SM regulars that I'll be "on the other site" (MFC) later on, tattoo is like "What other site?" *rolls eyes* He just wants to camp out in free chat on there too, just like with SM, and just like he used to do on Webcams.

I suppose do what works for you but to me it seems like ur punishing urself for being 'fat' the lowest a lot of girls even the BBWs say to be is $4 per minute. Maybe consider raising ur rates to that then uping it every 5 lbs. Always remember no matter what size u r ur a beautiful woman Ive seen BBW escort ads in the $350-$400 for an hour range before just to give you some perspective. Money should never be an equlvalent to size.

Speaking of member comments, I have NEVER been able to see any of my member comments. A regular told me that he had left a few comments for me, so he took a screenshot of my comments page and sent it to me so I can see the comments for myself. Even when I log into my SM member account, it won't let me see the member comments on my model page.

The only way to know if they used your link is if they spend money and it shows up in your account.
It will show in the same place as your regular earnings, there is no separate area for it. It will be mixed in with your other earnings.
It looks like this if they spent on another girl:
http://lifeofacamgirl.com/images/cammodels2.jpg
And this if they spent on you:
http://lifeofacamgirl.com/images/cammodels3.jpg
^^Those two are from the same username, so it will show the 40% you made and then the regular 35% under it.

Has anyone been having problems changing their bio pic? Mine will not change! It goes black and says the "up to 10 days for approval" message, then the next day..back to the old pic! I can't choose as many photos as before for the bio pic either, only certain ones have that option, wtf?
Cam_Model_Jess
02-18-2013, 06:00 PM
I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but you can only use pictures that have been approved. If, during the time you're waiting for them to approve a picture, you click on another picture AT ALL, it will cancel the submission of the previous picture for approval. So if you want them to approve a picture, here's what you need to do:
1. Choose a picture that you can live w/ for a few days
2. Submit a new pic for approval
3. Don't click on another picture
If they reject your pic, you should get an e-mail about it. I'm not sure why you can't choose certain photos as a bio pic, but they might've gotten moved from the "bio pic" folder to the "gallery" folder. They should still be available to use as a bio pic tho, so that's weird.

But then I see people reaching $800 gold shows and makes me think , maybe it's not THAT dead ... hmmm!

I'm going to take a break from Streamate for a while. I feel I am busting my ass way to much for only 35 percent. Between the glitches, moochers and 30 second assholes I have hit my limit. Plus customer support is now telling performers they need a new modum and internet speed. Please, I have a new modum and my upload speed is atl east 14 mgbs. Not sure why they can't seem to get it's their damn site that is the issue. Plus they stopped buying traffic months ago and now they have ads saying the site is free. That's why the site is full of moochers. GRRRRRR

There are a few breaking the rules , but I have actually seen a girl just chatting in sexy lingerie the other night , reaching $800. It did appear it was mostly her regulars pledging in though.
Guys have the money , they just dont want to spend it .... or need a lot of persuading for it and the incentives : videos, pics , panties , highest pledger gifts etc.

SOOO SM support and I kept emailing back and forth, they wanted to know all about my laptop's specs and this is what they told me:
Our tech team has determined that an i7 processor is required in order to run the Encoder/stream in HD successfully. In the short term, I would suggest not streaming with the Encoder. In the long term, you might want to look into upgrading your system if you wanted that option available.
>:( I'm gonna try out MFC more...the first time I ever logged on the other day I made a whole $3!! hahahah
