In my experience, paying female cam customers are literally a one in a million thing.

my biopic has been rejected for copyright violation..... its a photo of me that i took myself 10 mins ago...... eh?
It happened to me a week ago, they told me its "maybe" because of my watermark. i put it up without one and they took it. Bullshit if you ask me.

I feel like 90%+ of the time it's just a guy pretending to be a woman.
Id just tell her(HIM) if they want to be sissy trained and get off on being a girl, pay for the privilege like everyone else. If they are a legitimate chick,which i doubt, the fact you have a pussy does not exempt you for paying to see mine,gtfoh

Why do people feel the need to tell me they are a woman? I don't give a shit if you're a fucking velociraptor as long as you're paying me. The ones that do it never seem to be paying customers, either.
Well, I would argue that it's good to know who your audience is. I've done a few shows with actual confirmed women on C2C, as well as several shows where I'm pretty sure it was just a guy pretending to be a lady. Regardless of whether or not they actually have a pussy, they want a female-centric show, with related dirty talk -- not you sucking on a dildo and talking about how much you love cocks. It threw me off the first time; the person on the other end actually typed "Uh, I don't have a cock, put that dildo away and tell me how much you want to eat my pussy." I was caught off guard and realized I'd never dirty-talked for a woman before, lol.

Hi ladies! I was wondering a couple of questions. I had to take a long break camming, after a longer break from camming, and now my placement is reaaally bad, I mean I´m in page 4. Might this be because either there a lot of new girls or not using the SMbroadcaster is affecting placement this much? In your experience, is possible to improve placement from there or it makes sense just to close it and make a new account?

True 90% of the time it is a guy but that doesnt mean we need to call him out. If he wants the "woman" experience then I give it to him but not in Guest chat! I do have a few females who pay me. One girl and I became pretty close. She would come to visit me and always spoiled me with gifts but recently she got into a relationship with another lady who is very controlling and cut off all her contact with me. Most of my female spenders are into the goldshows though. I rarely do privates with them.
I might point out that I have done a lot of filming for a large porn company that does only G/G shoots and this has drawn many of these ladies to my cam as well. They are out there though and they will spoil you if they have the means to so keep your minds open cause you never know when its a guy or when its the real deal!

I dont know what page you were expecting to be on but not using the broadcaster will affect your placement to some degree. Not enough to knock you down to page 4 from page 1 though. If you away for a long time then your placement dropped because your not earning and your not putting in the hours. I would try for two weeks to put in major hours. 40 hour week minimum and if you can do gold shows run those cheap and often to attract new spenders to you. If your placement doesnt go up then start a new account. If you cannot do lots of hours and gold shows then I'd start a new account. If you have been away from camming for more then a year then start a new account. But new girl status is not such a big deal on SM like on other sites so still be prepared to hustle hard or you will be back on page 4 when it wears off.

Thank you for you answer! I been off like 10 months, then back for 2 months, then off again for like 4 months. I know whatever I do it´s gonna be hard work to go back at least close from where I used to be but I want to take smart decissions. I´m gonna try for a couple of weeks and if there is no way to go up then I might open a new account, seems the right thing to do.

Gioanne I had the same problem, basically dead for me I made about $84 for 4 hours. Guys kept coming in and out immediately. Nobody talking. I am not sure if it's my computer or the actual site. I am wondering if anyone else had any issues. It was unusually slow.

The sm broadcaster shuts my computer down any time I try to calibrate my webcam with it. I tried the encoder and it says that my system is not compatible with it. So I'm broadcasting in HD but without the encoder which Is hard because I'm not getting as much traffic as I would like. And my camera does not look as clear as most. I am using an Intel Celeron CPU N3050 @ 1.60GHZ INSTALLED RAM 2.00GB. I am not computer savvy. Are these specs way to slow for streaming? I am still making money but I have a feeling that the computer I'm using is causing my issues because my wifi is high speed. Any info would really help. Thank you.

Me: Yeah, I've got it down pretty well.
Douche: Oh okay, well I can give you some tips if you'd like.
Me: No, that's alright... I've got it figured out.
Douche: Okay well if you use party chat mode instead of classic chat mode you'll make more money.
Me: ..................
Douche: You need to get gold shows enabled and have more ratings.
Me: ......................................
Douche: *more "advice"*
Me: ..............*squint* /:O

Every Day for the last week or so I have been having the same problem. I cam all day on the broadcaster at 1280X720 without a hitch. My internet is brand spanking new 4G speedtest showing at 52 down, 15 up and nobody complains about anything. Then at 4 or 5 o'clock every afternoon it just stops working! I log on to the broadcaster and the video outputer just drops and then I lose connection completely however my speedtest shows the same. It has happened every afternoon to me and its effecting me because this is some of my best hours!
What do you ladies think is this a SM issue with the broadcaster or would this be an issue on my side? I really thought it must be on my side but I have tried every little friggin thing I can think of to fix this and only just today I realized that this only happens in the afternoon. My mornings are always perfect! What is the link here?? Im missing something!

I have a similar situation here Eastern Standard Time. But for me it's around 8pm and then again at midnight. It could be your ISP cutting down your bandwidth. Or if more cammers from your region are having this issue it could be on SM's side? I dunno. Maybe now that you know you can just take a break. At least it's a consistent issue and not sporadic.

But if it was my ISP wouldnt that show up on my speedtest? Because the numbers are still really high. Sadly I cant take a break because its the last hours of the day I have to work. I always work from 4 or 5pm until 8pm and then I eat dinner. Then I work all night in my office doing other work I have to do for my business. These are the last hours of each day I have to make that $$.

I dont know how paydays work in the USA but in the UK paydays tend to follow 15th of the month and 28th of the month. Corporate pay is the 15th and I tend to get doctors and Hugh earners. 28th your normal bule collar types. This time of the month I find the big spenders stay away and the min wage workers are still OK for money.
Always wondered what the USA common payday types are?
Marketing has become very important as I sort of enjoy being porn based. Which I never thought I would.

I had issues after 9pm mst last night. Members saying they had been trying to connect to my room, but got booted with a "systems error" pop up. On my end everything looked fine, but after they said that I went from an average of 10 people in my room down to one for 2 hours, before a member tried to take me pvt and excl 6 TIMES before it finally connected properly without freezing the instant we went to paid chat.
After that I was too frustrated to stay online.

I was off for a while. Came back last week and found everything much better than in January. Last night was awful tho... I was all like "Not again SM!!!". Some regulars told me it must be due to Spring Break. I'm not from the US but from what they told me, it started yesterday. Could this shitty traffic be due to that?

I don't know if things have changed since I started but I don't think you can unblock Gold Shows yourself. You must keep your 5 star rating for a specific amout of time (a month or less, I think) and SM will unblock it for you. Good luck!

Might this be because either there a lot of new girls or not using the SMbroadcaster is affecting placement this much? In your experience, is possible to improve placement from there or it makes sense just to close it and make a new account?
In my experience (I went through something similar):
1. Start streaming at 720. SMbroadcaster or Encoder. I personally use the Encoder since the SMbroadcaster gives me a freakin headache. It works great sometimes and others it just won't. The Encoder always works.
2. If you were out for a while, your rating probably dropped to 4.5 or 4 stars. That lowers your placement a lot. If you haven't had a single rating for more than 90 days, your average goes back to the default 4 stars. It happened to me. So you need to start getting those 5 star ratings in again.
3. Obviously you must start putting in some good online time.
Obviously the internet quality, webcam and an updated PC that can take 720p play an important role but I'm sure you already know that.
When I took care of that, my placement got a lot better. Not the best because my online time is really low but I did see a big difference.
Good luck!

I usually chalk it up to the increase of internet usage in my 'hood. 4-5pm is when people usually get home from work. My shit starts acting up between 5-7pm (EST).
See the problem Im having has nothing to do with that. Firstly there is no one in my "hood" I live on a mountain and the only other houses here are all summer homes and empty 90% of the year so its not that traffic to the net has increased but even so my net is super fast. I can upload movies on to my website and watch youtube while they are uploading at the same time because its fast and its powerful. I have infact been doing this during these hours because I cannot cam at these times so I just get other work done.
So what is the problem??? The "internet" problem just doesnt cut it for me. I used to stream every day at this time on my other internet in HD using the encoder and the max I could get on that was 2Mb so how could it possibly be that I upgrade my internet and shit gets fucked up but only between these certain hours???
Its making zero sense to me. Today Im gonna try it with the old net, with the encoder and with a VPN for America. Im gonna rule out every possible combination of things I can try to make this work and see what happens.

I was on SM today just browsing and almost every other chatroom that I would click on would be fine until a system error message would pop up or either it would show the model was logged off when clearly they were still online. I would refresh and it would happen again. I went to SM from all my other devices (3 labtops , 2 tablets + cell) and kept getting the same error message. After refreshing multiple times the model would pop back up. I'm wondering if this is why the last several days half of us have had almost no traffic and bare minimum earnings ??

Im thinking it is or all of a sudden I suck at this. Because shit gawd dayum!?! Some cant stay connected the rest can't part with a measily five gold? I had a room topic at one point that said "By A Show of hands...who here has at least five gold?"
^^^ I was lucky with a nice exclusive this morning, in rest all freeloaders & demanding guys. Logged off to save % in paid. No other tips or shows beside that excl. & all new guys, it felt like i was on bonga lol, that type of clientele.
