So I just found this place, it's wonderful, you ladies are AWESOME!
So my story. I started on Chaturbate about a month ago. I tried it for almost a solid week. I made hardly anything. So is desperation and about to give up i logged on one last time. I danced my ass off for like 4 hours to music, actually turned it into a strip show. I had a really good time. Was a free workout! But as the end I was really saddened. I made like 320 tokens. Which is hardly anything. This is my full time job as of this year. I want this to work. So I've taken time off, talked and researched, ended up here.So I have now signed up for Streammate tonight, i'm awaiting approval.
I need any helpful advice on how to make money. I don't mind nudity. I just won't do it in public chats. I am really serious about this being my full time job. It's actually my dream job but i really got discouraged from Chaturbate. I do have an account at LJ but all the guys there only want short little private shows and LJ doesn't pay weekly.
I know i can setup a schedule and have like dancing show nights and such. But i need to know what will make it interesting the rest of the time. I chat, flirt and tease but at least on Chaturbate I hardly got any private shows. I don't want this happening again.
Please HELP!

I didn't know it was supposed to be 29.97. They told me if it was between 20 to 30 it was ok. Will have to check my software.
Means Frames Per Second, u can check ur camera settings how many frames per second supports at maximum, if u have 30 frames per second u are able to run the encoder with recommended settings as they require 29.97 FPS.
Some of you may find ur FPS are set lower than 30 on camera software so u get a conflict between what ur camera provides and what encoder requires.

CS seems to think the issues we experience are caused by us, not the site They even suggested it's our internet provider. I use Cox Communications with an upload speed around 14 mgbs. Who do you use? Perhaps we can figure this tech stuff out on our own.
It's not right for Model Support to continue blaming their models for tech issues though. I know it's typical for them to blame models for not having an i7...what are they gonna say later when models get an i7 and still have issues (which still happens, by the way)? They will sometimes say "We haven't received any reports of other models having these issues." That's either a lie, or I'm thinking models aren't reporting issues anymore because they know it's pointless (cuz Support will just blame the problem on them/their equipment)...lol. I'm sure that SOMETIMES the tech issues really are due to the model's internet connection/equipment, but SM needs to do better than automatically assume that it's the model's fault...just cuz she doesn't have i7. Especially if certain SM reps are now saying that you DON'T HAVE to have an i7.
By the way, I have Verizon FioS internet, a Logitech HD C910 cam. I'm taking a lil' break from Streamate and focusing on other sites because SM is really trying my patience. But whether I continue to stay with SM or not, I'm still getting that new computer with the i7 processor just because I WANT an updated computer.

I have an i5 desktop pc and is working just great WHEN SM IS WORKING GOOD TOO, if i look at processor usage when online with the encoder running their recommended settings the numbers are + - 30%, i can even splitcam if i want, i just prefer now not to do it cause i dont really like other sites.
Conclusion is for me now: it takes 30% CPU power from my i5 pc to run the encoder with the recommended settings that are also required for TV Gold shows, why do i need an i7?! Probably then CPU usage will be 10% or so lol!! This is bullshit, of course they will blame models when they have no other answer to give, its typical behavior of these sites.
I updated my PC cause 1st of all i WANTED that and then cause they said we need i7 and even so i did not go for i7 cause i considered its simply not needed and when i asked support about if i5 will do the job they said: we tested all with i7 cant tell how i5 will work!!??!! Haha, come on guys!

I always have about 30. And when there's something wrong with the site, I might fall to around 25. Any lower than that and I start having problems.

This is the encoder panel with the required perfect settings in order to provide TV Gold shows and run normal sessions as well.
The Frame Rate must be set to 29.97 no matter what and the other parameters set exactly like in the picture.
What is happening when there are problems on site, the Bit Rate falls under 800 kbps and u start to lag.
On the panel right side u see the Auto adjust with the 2 options, SM said we need to tick Degrade quality which means IT WILL NOT DROP the FRAMES theoretically when stream parameters change (due to bad connection either on ur side or SM fucked up servers) but u loose stream quality.
When having problems always check the encoder tab called Encoding Log and u'll see the auto adjusting bit rate going up and down, in this case i sign off and back in, reset modem, pc, whatever, then if i see connection is stabile i know all is ok.

I really wish SM would give us the ability to message guys who have gotten privates with us. My internet just blipped out in the middle of a long exclusive and I have no way of apologizing to him or anything unless he messages me first.

We can dream, yes? I had this problem a year ago due to MY hardware problem (I was a beginner and when I asked SM if they could help me to figure out why this happened, I got the copy-paste "are you hardwired? etc." thing, but later I could find out it was my end). I asked the support if it is possible to mail the customer and apologize, they said something like "we are working on a decent solution", but did nothing. I would still message support (the guy came back on his own 2 weeks later and bought more shows afterwards, but it could be nicer if we have the chance to explain the problem). Well, good things come those who wait... but how long?

I saw something on SM just now that completely turned me off, and I'm gonna keep names out of it.
A top row model (who seems like a nice person) was running a 17 minute Gold show for $1, and her Australian dude that speaks FOR her says to the room "Why the fuck don't other models on here do $1 shows??? Because they're all money-hungry fucking whores...that's why!!!" *facepalm*
Then he's like "I don't care if she tells you guys she's doing another $1 show. She AIN'T! I'll make sure of that!!!"
Lots of guys can't stand that dude because he never shuts up when she's running her Gold show countdowns, and he's annoying as hell. But to talk shit about other models who charge more.....WTF is wrong with this dude???
Mlle_Mystere
02-24-2013, 12:33 PM
Wait - he insulted other models for not doing $1 shows but then forbid his girl from doing another $1 show? Or was he talking about someone else in the second bit? He sounds like a total dick.
TheBrownFox
02-24-2013, 12:39 PM
Wait - he insulted other models for not doing $1 shows but then forbid his girl from doing another $1 show?
Yup.
One minute he's saying "Other models on here won't offer you $1 shows cuz they're all money-hungry fucking whores!!!"...and then the next minute he's saying "If _____ tells you guys she's doing another $1 show, she ain't! I'll make sure of that!" He also uses a bullying tactic to try to get guys to buy into her show, and other guys in the room get really annoyed having to listen to him talk.

Just wondering;....when guys send you their phone # or email or other personal information in a email on SM do you guys contact support about it, just email the guy saying no offsite contect or just ignore it...
Maybe I'm a little paranoid but I don't want some random suspension because guys think Streamate is some dating site and keep sending me their info.

I just reply back that I like to keep within the parameters of the site and I do not communicate offsite or do anything other than cam modeling. Then, I tell him my schedule and when I'll next be on to do shows.

Lol. I'm going to go ahead and play the devil's advocate. Most of us know exactly which model you're referring to. She's made a big name for herself by being all about entertainment. Her show definitely isn't the sexiest out there, but it's probably the most unforgettable. Her Australian friend is part of her gimmick, and I don't think he'll have a negative impact on her income. I rarely perv SM anymore, but she's one of the few that I've seen almost always reach her goal.
As for him bashing other models, I think she's probably the most bad mouthed model on the site. I refuse to trash talk any model, but I definitely have to bite my tongue hard when someone asks about f****** bedposts or "squirting" in my mouth. When I was new, and I spent time watching other models, I heard her name dropped more than any other top model on the site. Any publicity is good publicity, and the girl is flippin' fantastic at attracting attention.

The girl's got a hustle and is top for a reason, I don't think anyone (though I can only speak for myself) was saying anything bad towards her, just the dude and his annoying self.

If it's an e-mail, I ignore it the 1st time. If he sends a 2nd e-mail, I reply & tell him it's against the rules for customers & models to share contact info & ask him not to contact me again. If he straight up harasses me, I send support an e-mail about it. Usually they are just spamming every model w/ the same e-mail & they don't bother after the first try. Sm can read your e-mails, so you shouldn't get in trouble for just ignoring it.
I have had support delete e-mails out of my inbox when I was being spammed.

Isn't that part of her "schtick" though? I just assumed his voice off cam was part of her hustle. That and fucking bedposts... (assuming we're talking about the same girl). Last time I checked out her room he was telling her that while she was doing the GS countdown he was going to go to the store and buy veggies for her to fuck. The guys were loving it.

The guys were probably loving it even more when her "pimp" kept his mouth shut...lol.
Whether or not that's her "schtick" isn't the point though. The point is she can earn her money without her spokesperson name-calling other models on the site, which makes her look bad. This isn't high school.

Foxy, I know exactly the model you're talking about. The only time I ever went in her room that guy was just going on and on and wow I can't imagine what a turnoff it would be for the guys who actually want to buy a show! It's like he's her annoying pimp or something!

Yeah, there's that one too. The girl I just saw didn't say anything in the girl's chat. She just opened up the other chat (you could hear the model talking) and started running her mouth about her. I'm just completely shocked at the utter lack of class of some women.

I am just getting back in SM after 6 months off due to health issues and a surgery and I am really struggling.
I have been on 21 minutes and have had had my show ended due to 'system errors'7 times once just as I was taken private. I an using and i7 laptop and my speed seems to be the same as it used to be.
Is this something that i am doing wrong or is the problem on SM's end.

Welcum back! Are you using the latest version of the Encoder? If your computer is good, fast speed internet than it's SM issues. Lots of girls are having issues right now with lagging, show errors, etc!

I was way too scared to run a gold show today...
I heard one girl say that one of her shows ended today in the middle and felt horrible for her... I've had that happen once... There's nothing worse than giving a show that was already cheap for FREE to a large group...
I started having REALLY bad issues today after seeing other girls have problems.... I was so pissed I was almost in a gold show mood :p
