If you go to the top... there is a tab called "My Reports". Under that tab is a section called "Daily Time Online". It gives you the number of minutes online, the number of minutes in paid chat, and your percentage in paid chat for each day that week.

Yea u have to pay close attention if u think u might be about to get a pvt cuz I've switched tabs and browsed for a few mins before to go back and see a dude already in pvt for a couple mins lik "Hello?....." lol. but when u enter pvt there is a small "gold" sound like when u get tipped gold. U can only be in paid chat if there's someone currently logged in on ur paid chat window if that helps. and I believe when they leave its the door slamming sound.

I'm not sure if this goes here, but daytime US girls:
I'm trying to decide if I want to wait to put my kids in preschool until I'm "established" or if I need to put them in now to take advantage of new model status.
I'm also curious about CatBBW's question above.

I'm anxious to get to do/get all the things (social networking, full time camming, toys, bewbs, etc). What is the balance between taking advantage of new model status, and not outworking/spending what you make. I'm overwhelmed with the amount of things I feel like I need to do in 30days

IMO the issue is traffic/SM. It really seems like they aren't pushing traffic. Them not fixing the glitches and being rude to customers isn't helping either. This week I've been checking other girls rooms next to mine as well as models who are in the top row of the site. Alot of rooms are showing 5-10 people even with gold shows running. Some rooms are showing even lower numbers than 5. The only thing you can really do is start pushing your own traffic and putting more eggs in your basket.


The minute SM started hinting that we could have Twitter out of the blue tells me they're experimenting with the idea...hey! Maybe we should let models drove some of their own traffic? Great, well then their percent should go down to 50% like other sites bc how is it ok for them to say you can't have Twitter penalize models in the past for trying to drive their own traffic and then later on entertain we should tag and @ them in the sake of the Halloween contest? I've been giving money to SM for my model Centro fan site and they do nothing to help my custies when they can't see the join button. I've never direct linked and I refuse to open up my personal network and tweet to thousands of ppl to check me out on SM bc I'm not sure if ill be suspended for it. But with 5-10 ppl in rooms at a time for top row models...yeah it's interesting. What's also interesting is how long it's taking for support to even get back to us with a generic response.

Just want to throw this out there: I don't think using the SM broadcaster necessarily gives you better placement than the Flash encoder. It might have been a coincidence, but the other day I switched from Flash to SM to give it a try and my placement actually went down. As long as you're using some kind of encoder, I think you should be fine. I prefer Flash though.

Yep. Every time I switch to the Broadcaster, my placement drops. I go from being on the 3rd row to being down on the bottom with the Russians.

I dont understand why they would be doing that. Do they just not care? Do they know something we dont? Maybe they're going bankrupt or something. Time to break into indy after putting it off for so long I guess. I really wanted to avoid going back to naked.com but I dont like the other sites. Streamate used to be such a great source of income for me when I first started a couple years ago and now it's just been in the toilet what seems like forever. I guess they've given up on their own site. Time to start moving on I guess

Checking in with you since you removed geo blocking. You notice any difference?

I would do this in a Gold Show. Run a Gold Show for a low goal. Have the time be an hour (or however long you want) and the guys can join in if they want to voyeur you. I wouldn't do it in open. You know those guys will frap for free.

Recently reactivated my account.I was on last night from 1am-5am Saturday Night (this is supposed to be prime time right?) and streamed for 4 hours total and only made $45 dollars. Back in 2013 I used to make $40 an hour no problem . One problem I had was half of my exclusive chats were "dissconected" and a message popped up saying lost connection after the first minute.Could this be because of my internet? My download speed is 2.35mbps upload speed is 1.19mbps


I am going to cam again after superbowl and hoping to make more money tonight.Will Update yall :)

Your internet is too poor to handle HD settings by a long shot. Get that upload over 3 mbps at least if you want to stream without disconnects.

This worries me, I'm moving into a new place soon where upload is supposedly "up to 10" but is currently pinging between 5 and 6. Is 5 mbps enough for the 720p encoder settings?

Yes. Mine is around 5mbps and I stream in HD720 perfectly.

I have a question about gold shows. I occasionally like to do a voyeur gold show to make a couple bucks and try to up my time online. I know that the countdown isn't considered paid, but the show is. Usually I just start the show right away though, so is it considered paid from the beginning or is it considered paid time once someone tips in?

It won't count as paid chat until at least one person tips in...but it doesn't matter when they tip in, as long as you have someone tip during that show it will be considered paid chat for the entire time you are in the gold show.

Yeah a TV quality stream needs 3 so 5 will be fine. You can also change tcp/ip mtu settings so data validates faster. Your default is 1500 but a broadband packet can go as low as 1380. Which means it sends and validates faster because of the smaller packet size. Old gamer trick the husband says

Manually mapping your ip on the pc and changing the dns to Google also helps speed. But you also need to do this on your router as well. In the UK we have full control over routers settings. Once its mapped and the dhcp is not controlling it place it in the dmz so nothing is hindering the connection of your streaming pc. And also make sure you turn windows updates off as that saps the connection without you knowing.

I'm curious how you bb's usually do your voyuer shows?
I get points when indy is popping, and it'd be cool if I could just do a vouyer gold show for the duration of indy.
Do you just do a countdown warning that it's vouyer, and start playing no matter how many have tipped in?
Can guys still joined after you've started the show?
What do you usually put in your topic for the Goldshow? and How long do you usually run your vouyers?

Sorry for all the questions! lol

I usually have a countdown of like 3min, and I put in the topic in BOLD that it is a voyeur show in case people complain, I also state the nature of the voyeur show. I start with or without people tipping & people always end up tipping throughout the show

Your internet is too poor to handle HD settings by a long shot. Get that upload over 3 mbps at least if you want to stream without disconnects.

We found they had a "sister site" also, pingtest.net. This combines for a much more accurate picture of your network settings.

Speedtest will tell you the upload speed, so its a good starting point...if you fail that one then nothing else matters.
Pingtest (to Seattle area) will tell you the quality of your connection. Under 60ms for ping is good, under 2ms for jitter is good. Packet loss testing depends on Java (which WOULD be a key component), which most people no longer have.

Hey Girls, just wondering - how long did it take for you to be able to do Goldshows on Streamate? I've been camming for 2 months, I stream in HD through the external encoder and I use a great webcam. Also rated 5 stars and that's apparently all you need to qualify for Goldshows but it still won't let me do it. (Oh yeah i'm also in party chat)

If you think you're entitled to the gold show option now you can email support. Unfortunately sometimes things slip through the cracks but asking politely goes a long way.

Ask support but be nice about those goldshows
just bc
They get a lot of questions that are repetitive. Sometimes they might say you have to do more privates,more stars more tags blahblah
Good luck!

I am glad to be back on a semi grind and see the goods roll back in. I lost my flow for a minute and for a while I was falling into the "blame it on sm" trap.

I was denied at 1st (I already expected it) so when guys kept asking I politely asked them to write into support & sure enough G.S option was enabled shortly after.

Has anyone else received this email from SM automatically increasing your rates? It was only raised $1 and I thought I could just ask them to raise them up to whatever I wanted. The issue is, I'd rather have a percentage raise as a way to 'value' us more. Like I feel like I got bamboozled. I noticed that I got this only after I started implementing party chat with increased traffic. I'm not trying to complain but I just don't see the necessity of the email, and thought the option to increase had always been there. I feel like they gave me a pat on the back, but no reward? lol.





Congratulations! The maximum rates you can charge customers per minute has been increased.

We automatically increase rates for performers that consistently have high quality shows that pull in customers. We appreciate the value you add to Streamate Models and want to give you more options.

You can see the new maximum when you edit your show prices. Any time you make a change to your prices, you can monitor the effect to your bottom line via "My Earnings" on the Report menu on your Streamate dashboard.

Let us know if you have any questions!

That's actually been there policy for some time, at least a year or more. Emailing you to let you know is a new thing. When I first started camming a few years ago, they let me go up to $14 I think when I emailed them. After a while with the studio, they stopped maxing out the rates completely. Now we get them raised only by special request when a model asks, as they have an "automatic system" from what we were told.

This is the first I've gotten it. I too asked to be raised a while and it went up to $14.99 so I'm surprised as to why it's just $1 and I didn't even request it.

IDK if anyone has gotten this email or posted it yet. Behold new contest!

We're running a special Streamate Sweethearts event on Feb 14th and 15th! Two hundred performers will receive special rewards that are sure to tug at your heartstrings.

The event will run for two days, on February 14th and 15th (GMT). It will begin at 12:01AM GMT on Feb 14th and end at 11:59PM GMT on Feb 15th. Remember to check when Feb 14 GMT will begin in your time zone.

The Streamate Sweethearts event isn't about member votes, so no costumes or decorations are required. All performers are eligible for rewards!

Rewards will be given based on the amount members spend on you during the two days (this includes Gold, Gold Shows, Premium charges, and Exclusive charges; Cammodel earnings are not included). At the end of the second day, all eligible money billed on your account will be added together.

The top 200 performers will receive some especially sweet rewards:
1st place: $2,500!
2nd place: $2,000
3rd place: $1,500
4th place: $1,000
5th place: $500
6-10th places: $350
11-20th places: $250
21-50th places: $125
51-100th places: $50
101-200th places: $25

If you plan to be online, let you regulars know! Members won't see an announcement for this event. You can also promote your shows on social media using the hashtag #smsweethearts.

All rewards will be added to your account a few days after the contest is over. Good luck to everyone who will be online!

Ugh, not again, streammate. Funny how they say 'this contest isn't based on votes..." and in the same breath "rewards (*cough* votes) will be given based on amount members spend on you..." Come on SM, try not to be so obvious with your lies, lol. I just wanna get on and make my money, but I guess another contest it is. Like, fuqqq they're cawk blocking us. Some of us are trying to cash in on the lonely hearts and SM of course blows our cover with a fooking contest, man, lol.

Stupid contests. Now I dread Feb 14, the site is going to be an all-out thirsty brouhaha again like over Christmas, except probably WORSE because many models had to spend Christmas with their families - no such obligations on Valentine's. Wish SM would just spend their money on a couple more programmers who might help FIX THEIR SITE. Yesterday I had a distinct one-hour period of normal traffic with guys flowing in and out of my room, made some good money, and then all of a sudden traffic TANKED for the second hour. 5-min stretches with not one soul in my room (including greys!), and the viewer count never got over 3-4 brokeass beggars in my room at any one time. I made a lovely $1.50 in the whole second hour.

I mean I know camming fluctuates like crazy, but this felt like shenanigans.

"It will begin at 12:01AM GMT on Feb 14th and end at 11:59PM GMT on Feb 15th."

So I just want to be sure I converted the timezones correctly -- for PST/west coast time, that's 4:01pm Saturday the 13th, to 3:59pm Monday the 15th, right?

So how do these contests typically go? My bb works Saturday through Monday so I have nothing but time for SM. I was thinking of switching from my usual comfy style to some lingerie but I don't want to mess up what works.
