I have been terrified to check my placement since the new 720 rule (recomendation) started to be applied. Today I finally decided to and my placement is fine. Exactly where it was last week and last year. I have been using the 720 since they first mentioned it so I wonder if that maybe helped.

I've noticed a spike in quality traffic, started to finally get right kind of guys. It's been going since Friday night I think. Anytime my roundtrip goes poor (which has been the norm on SM for me) it completely stops and even freeloaders don't stay.

I really hope they stick with THIS kind of contest instead of the Gold tips thing. I have family and friends to see this christmas, but hopefully the next contest (valentine's day? new years? who knows) they'll consider doing the 'highest earning' contest again if it goes well :)

I haven't tried the new smbroadcaster yet. I am still using the regular encoder but I am using the highest settings ( 1280x720) & 2000 for my bitrate. Would it make a difference in my placement if I was to change to the smbroadcaster? kind of scared to try it:(

AlexiaRoss
12-16-2015, 04:46 PM
Yes they certainly are :)

I have a question, I have to paint my house and I was considering doing a long voyeur gold show painting my house naked lol. If its a long show and people join in throughout, and I make it clear in my topic its voyeur only, would people joining after it has started be aware that its voyeur? Just wondering since I get people popping into gold shows near the end and I am not sure if I would get a bunch of complaints from customers if they join a show that has nothing but nudity lol.

Oh hey I think this is really cool. I might try for this if I can. :)

"Bonus Holiday Gift!
If you don't hit the top 200, you can still qualify for a bonus gift from us! If you stream for at least 10 hours during the three-day event and successfully bill at least $25, you'll get a $25 bonus gift. It’s our way of thanking you for making the season so merry and bright! (If you receive one of the top 200 rewards, you aren't eligible for this bonus.)"

i have been using both, no diffrence in placement but SM broadcaster still has too many problems at least for me, so i have to come back to the encoder, try it if u want, dont be scared... if dont works for u, u can use the encoder again =)

I've been enjoying the SM broadcaster if for no other reason than it's small and easier to drag around my desktop without maximizing.

I have a question. I messaged support, but got a automated message :/

I've noticed that sometimes, let's say a client tips me 5 Gold in my chat room, it would say in my earnings report that I got less than that 5 Gold before the 35% cut (so it would say in the price column that I got for 3.47$ and then in the earned column that I got 35% of it, 1.21$). Anybody know why?

He is from Canada or Australia, their currency is worth less than USD. But for example if a customer is from the UK and he pays in pounds, you get more from his Gold.

Re: placement...I haven't done 720, I don't have the SM encoder and my placement is just the same. When they have the new encoder available for Macs I might try it.

I'm excited about the contest! This to me is a better idea instead of basing it off of tips when it's not a tip based site. I'm tempted to even work on Christmas...but we will see if that actually happens : )

First part of my shift was alternating between dead and annoying as fuck. Logged off, sweared at the screen for a minute, smoked, raised my rates and logged back in. Ended up making about $32 tonight, could be better but I laughed my ass off when it happened after my rates when up.

No shit!! What the hell?? It's dead as fuck tonight. I usually get lots of traffic and chat. Is traffic down because of the new SM encoder?

Sounds like a great idea!! Yes, they can see the gold show topic and time remaining, so they are well aware of what type of show they are buying into.

I will be working this holiday because I'd planned on it and though I appreciate what SM is trying to do, I can't help to feel a little annoyed with their attempt at trying to win us over with these contests.

Firstly, most of the same top 6 girls seem to obviously take home the top prizes. Good for them, it's not easy to be on top and stay on top but I calculated the prizes to be a total of over $43k+ not even mentioning all of us who are going to work 10 hours for the $25 bonus. So basically SM has $75k+ to 'give away for the holidays' when that money can be used to generate more quality traffic, and or at least a 5% raise across the board.

When sites do incentives like this, it's their way of dangling the carrot by trying to get us to log on more. SM is worried that we'll b spending time with our families (as we should) instead of working on their site. They presume the earnings for these 3 days will be low so this is their 'perk' to get us to log on. There's nothing wrong with perks, but why isn't there a more permanent solution to get us to log on?

Perhaps, they, and other sites I can name (imlive) should stop trying to bribe people to come on with contests and perhaps make permanent changes to our work environment so that the incentive to log on far out lasts the holidays. I'm not trying to bitch because I love SM and will continue to work there if they never do another contest again but I still believe that when you treat your worker bees right, they'll treat you right. It's just hard to believe all the extra money they have to spend when we're still making 35% and traffic has taken a huge nose dive. I mean, $75k can be used to update the model's interface with a few new perks like blocking someone after they leave your room and live, model chat support. A bish was going to work anyway, but...thanks?

I guess SM is expecting us to go back in time in addition to all the encoder demands. Check out the bolded. LOL!

Does SM have a new owner? If so, all the nonsense that's been going on would explain it. But still doesn't make it right.

I just found out that NZ cammers are supposed to get 35%, and I'm only getting 30%, so I want this fixed asap! Goddammit SM!

Hey guys, quick: what is the email of the woman you all say to contact in case of probs (Liz/Vanessa/something)?

I just found out that NZ cammers are supposed to get 35%, and I'm only getting 30%, so I want this fixed asap! Goddammit SM!

SMbroadcast is pissing me off to no end, ugh! I've re-installed and deleted it so many times now because it stops calibrating at 24% and doesn't do anything.

I would get the encoder back but I literally HATE that program more than anything. It's so slow and it just randomly bugs out and fucks with my stream. My brother laughed his ass off when I told him that I used it- apparently it's a creaky old tech dinosaur.

Sigh. Good thing SM is my least favorite egg.

So, update...Liz got back to me real quick, and yes NZ cammers are entitled to 35%. But despite being an NZ resident I don't count as an NZ cammer because my submitted ID pic is my passport which originates from -unnamed asian country that is totally fucking respectable and not, like, North Korea, I mean come onnnn-.

Bummer of all bummers.

Sittin' here in the bottom-feeding 30%, so don't y'all be moaning about getting ONLY 35%.

Any generous soul offering to quick PM about SM? I'm new on the site (as my old one completely fucked up... pff). I'm not really used to this format and I get quite lost, hehe.

Ok Ive bounced around on the streamate search and i havent found anything to potentially answer my question, i haven't seen up here unless i missed it in the thousands up here lol. Im going to start on Streamate and i wanted to include my husband in a couple of special shows like Gold shows,but not full time just as a feature. Does he have to sign up, do I have to sign up under couples to be safe or can he just be in a couple of quick shows as a "prop" with no problems? Im a newbie trying to get over my nerves and just do it,im waiting until my cycle ends so it gives me a few days to get it together. Im excited to start but nervous! Sorry if i annoy anyone by asking a question thats been answered.

He can sign up under your account as an "approved performer" just email Liz and tell her that you would like to have him come on every once in a while as a feature and they will enable an "add performer" button on your profile. Then you send in his docs and once he gets approved he can be on cam with you whenever you want :)

Does SM have a new owner? If so, all the nonsense that's been going on would explain it. But still doesn't make it right.

I've read conflicting things on another site. One model said that there's a new owner and another model said the owner(I'm assuming she may have meant S) said that he's no longer involved with what's going on with the site. The dates of both posts where only a couple of months ago. I'm not sure if I can or want to post the link to where I read it but you can PM me if you want to read it for yourself.

My placement is all fucked up right now. I'm streaming in 1280x720, using the SM Broadcaster, my upload speed is 73 from Seattle.... and everything was fine and dandy.. hanging out in the first 3 rows per usual and all of a sudden my traffic died.. checked my placement and I'm somewhere on the 2nd page? What the fuck.. whyyyyyyyyy.

This happens to me fairly often. :/ Your placement will be fixed at some point if you stay logged on.

Fuck it up how?

On a side note, I havent checked my placement today but I've somehow made $105 in just over an hour. Literally the most I have ever made in one hour. I am happy as a god damn clam right now, and for real you girls helped me so much by telling me to raise my rates. THANK YOU to the people who told me to do that! :D

Thank you for that :) I was just going to say fuck it for the night, but after reading that I logged back on and it was back to normal. :D

THANK YOU! :) I'm so sorry I wasn't on here or I would have checked back for you! I just looked to see if by chance you were still on and didn't see you. :(

Fuck it up by saying that he(really a she) has no sound. Then proceeds to ask you to type 'forbidden' words that will get you fired from the site, that's how.

Oh, great Question. I will let you know when I get my next check next Monday. Or maybe someone else can chime in, and answer this.

Did my first shift with the SM Broadcaster, not one issue. I'm never going back to the encoder.
