I think it's different for different girls. It was bad for some on Fri, but good for me. My shitty day was Thurs. I logged on for a couple of hours tonight and it was slow for me. 1 pvt and 2 GSs.

Friday Day time (morning/afternoon in USA) are always slow for me. I dont go on, I do the really early Friday morning shift (USA time zone), go to bed early and wake up early to get the "unlucky, back from the bar" crowd Saturday morning. Its normally my best day other then Monday. Yesterday I put in just over 5 hours and I was back to back with clients. I completely banked!
Hey there! Usually, how long are your shifts? From watching other girls I get the impression that most of the time you do nothing but wait for privates, but I guess it depends a lot on the placement...

^^ there are strategies that a lot of girls use to figure out the best times to cam. Paying attention to sports schedules, timezones and when camsites have technical glitches can help. Really, in the end, it's just about getting on and staying on for as long as you can.

My goal for this week is to be more consistent with how I start my shows. I find myself naked around the 5 min mark...if you are doing a striptease...do your customers expect nudity in the first 5 mins?

Yes, I'd say you should be nude within 5 minutes. Much longer than that and it's obvious you're stalling. 5 minutes is usually when I start masturbating if I'm doing a vanilla show.

I get naked within two. But I am still teasing the fuck out of them. Touching doesn't start until I'm 5 minutes in.

Thank you for the insight! I find myself second guessing my time management sometimes when I'm in shows. Esp if the guy is a little quiet. I feel like I've failed if I can't get to at least the 5 min mark but on Friday I was experiencing a lot of freezing and shorter shows stemming from it.
Thanks again solo for the great advice. Any pointers or advice totally welcome!

I start teasing and taking off my t-shirt only after 1 minute on cam, another 2 minutes of teasing and asking quetions like what they like most, what they would enjoy better, if they like dirty talking, then if they say yes start with dirty/sexy talking, and then take off bra, keep talking or typing and then take off the rest, you dont want the 30 seconds jerks see you all 4 free, always welcome and thank them when they enter to pvt to burn the 1 st minute, ask thrm if they have a cam that will burn more time and things like that.

I aim for 3 hours. I try my damndest to stick to my schedule, which has really shown dividends because guys log on when I say I will be on, then they come in, we do our thang, and they leave. I dig that. Like today I logged on right on time and 3 dudes were there who were waiting, 3 back to back exclusives. Then...crickets lol. 3 hours is as long as I can be happy and perky and peppy (which is my hustle) when money is slow, so that's what I plan on.

If I am just doing a vanilla masturbation pvt, my top comes off just after 30 seconds, bottoms shortly thereafter. I'm a bit faster than other girls it seems, but I'm cool with that. I do a fair number of short pvt shows in the average shift, and that suits me fine.

I didn't have many comments in 2015. I always got rated all the time, but comments were rare for me last year. I got a lot of comments in March, then nothing until September. Then one more comment in November. It's strange!

1, 2, 3: As far as I know, it just to shows you are live and in color!
Gold shows: Streamate will send you a message letting you know that you are now able to do them. Some girls get it within a week, some within months, some longer. no rhyme or reason.
Exclusive: you can message support anytime and ask them to "permanently" raise your exclusive to how high you want.

Mine are very sporadic, sometimes I go a month or two without seeing one, sometimes I get them multiple times in a shift.
Although I do wonder if I experienced a comment glitch a while back, because I have two comments from the same guy who I don't remember, who gave 5 stars and complimented on SPH and squirting shows... which are two things I don't do. Weird.

Which encoder do you guys use? I'm running windows 10 on an i7 if that makes a difference. Also I am starting on Streamate (as soon as im approved) but I would like to use anything I get on multiple sites if possible.
Good morning everyone,
So today I found another account on SM with a name from another site I used to have and a whole body and face photo I haven't ever uploaded to SM. I remember taking it as it was a requirement for Jasmin or something like that, though I never ended up using that site as I had a bad feeling out it. I never show face while camming, and I alredy emailed them asking about it. Have you ever experienced something similar?

Thanks, I alredy sent a couple of emails to SM asking about the account, because I don't remember creating it and can't log into it anyway. I just canceled my liveJasmin account and I'm trying to delete it.

Is there a possibility you opened the account your self and forgot? Sounds really strange to me. If someone else opened this account with your picture, ID and Username then its fraud and that is pretty serious. If you sent your emails just to SM support then be sure to send one right away to Liz as well and explain the situation. SM support often falls short on certain matters and if this is fraud you will want to have it dealt with right away.

Actually, I searched my cam name and "video" on google and there is a TON of sites looking exactly like SM, with a fake account of my name and photo. I contacted most of their support services and they told me they are all related with SM, so they have been using my info. They gave me a link to delete the account - problem is I don't have any way to log into those accounts, therefore I can't delete them. I know that photos get leaked always, so I don't mind and I have always been very careful with what I show. But I have no fucking idea where that photo of my face came from. I have send emails to 4 different SM support emails, and I'm waiting for them to answer me.
DeepThoughts
01-12-2016, 07:49 AM
Those are just SM white labels. Its just SM with a different logo on top so all your support emails are going to the same inbox. You originally said you remembered taking the picture for another site. That means if you didnt create this account then someone else used that picture to open an account of you on SM which is fraud. Unless you gave this information to a studio who used it to open an account of you on SM and then you never used it. In that case the studio probably has your permission to do so. Either way you best option would be to contact LIZ and not SM support to get it dealt with.
You seem extremely confused here girl! I hope you get it sorted.

I once started a sign up process with cams that I never finished. Like a year later I found out that my profile on the site was 'active' and they'd used the photo of me, no make up whatsoever, holding up my ID card as a profile picture. Thankfully the ID was out of frame of the photo and you couldn't increase it to full size, but fuck all if I know what they were doing.
If you ever started signing up with a sketchy site, then that's how they got it honestly. Talk to Liz and tell her you never made the accounts OR streamed on them, which should allow her to shut them down.

Last night was a little slow, but I was still able to make my goal. But that was my fault for getting on two hours late. I know most of you can easily dismiss my experience because of my placement, but if I'm able to log on and make $50 an hour, still good in my book. You just have to increase your time. I know it's really hard sometimes and it will effect your mood, but you cannot let it reflect on cam. You have to stay positive and flirty. You have to control your microexpressions, cause they can pick up on it.

As long as all other rules about who is on cam with you are followed, its not an issue.

Like a year later I found out that my profile on the site was 'active' and they'd used the photo of me, no make up whatsoever, holding up my ID card as a profile picture.

That's exactly what happened to me, but instead of a photo of me and my ID card, it was me on underwear, nothing particularly sexy, just me showing my full face almost naked anyway.
Liz answered me and deleted the account on SM and all the other accounts in other sites dissapeared! Only two left, they look like databases, but I've alredy contacted them, so I hope everything ends there. I also deleted the Jasmin account.
Thanks all of you for the tips and Liz's email! Thank you so much!

I was more offended by how god awful the photo was honestly, LOL! The ID was well out of frame and you'd never know I was holding shit near my face if you hadn't seen the original pic, but still. Total bull. I NEVER finished the verification so the profile shouldn't have existed to begin with.
Always keep an eye out for your model name/pics being used elsewhere ladies. Studios and sometimes sites themselves do that shit without your knowledge if you start but do not finish a sign up!

Your traffic is a result of you being new. New girl status last a while and its best to put in all the hours you can because right now your showing front and center but if your turning that traffic into paying clients then that is all you! Guys are easily drawn to girls who are clearly enjoying themselves!
Keep it up and remember to ask everyone to add you to their Favorites and to ask all your paying clients to rate you 5 stars and leave you a comment and/or a tip because that will help to keep you placement boosted when new girl status runs out!
