Day 2 on SM- I was doing a private with two people, one dropped out so one was left and halfway through I got a message to accept c2c. I did, which I assumed meant he switched over to exclusive. But my earning report says premium the whole time not exclusive, plus a 15.00 Gold tip afterwards that he left. People can c2c without being in exclusive? Also, the gold tip never showed up in any of my chat like they usually do, just in my earnings report. Also, the c2c screen was so small (like an inch wide) that I couldn't tell when if/when he was coming which was harder to fake through since he wanted dirty talk/me to tell him to come. Is there a way to adjust this? I couldn't seem to.
if you click the window where their cam is it makes it big, then there is a smaller blackscreen box you can move around to your liking.

What happens if you have multiple people in private who want c2c then? You don't make anything extra for c2cing?!
Only one can at a time whoever initiates the c2c and no you dont get anything extra for it, thats why alot do c2c in exclusive only.

I'm (hopefully) getting online tonight for my third time on SM. Well... More like my second, because the first time I lasted 8 minutes before realising I had terrible audio problems. I think I've got those ironed out now, but only made $20 in two hours the second time. It was terrifying but exhilarating!

They're given the option to tip after the show is finished, so no you won't see it in the chat, but an automated msg is sent to your inbox = ]

Can someone please answer if it's more important to get a lot of hours logged in when you're trying to get established on SM or % in chat?
You need a balance Scarlet, long hrs on SM with lower % in paid will affect ur ranking so NO, less hrs and higher % in paid is needed to climb up. xx

What confuses me is if you don't work the hours how are people supposed to see you? I would think for a new girl or someone trying to gain more customers putting in hours is important. I think I read on SM somewhere awhile back they ask models not to go below 3% paid chat. What I figured was working long hours for low pay and as you gain customers your ranking/earnings would increase.
That's a catch 22 situation Scarlet, i would say: for the nr of hrs u on cam u need to pull as much money as possible from these guys, that's the ideal situation.
But then yes, u cant get noticed if u not on cam long enough but if u sit there w.o making money its affecting u also, that's why i say DO SOMETHING to make them spend, depending on ur hustle u can try gold shows or just try to sell pvt's.
Yes about the 3% in paid, if u go lower than that they might close ur account, i know it happened to studio girls here who were not able to sell higher enough but this was a while ago not recently, dont know how is now.
Anyway, just try to make them spend even u have lowish fees. SM is just like this, the hours dont matter if u dont sell ur shows.
Good luck xx

You need to make sure u work at least 20 to 30 hrs a week when u are new and that will help alot! The rest will come

@the scarlet letter
It's a balancing act with time online vs time in paid chat. When you're new, the most important thing is to stick to a good schedule. Don't go crazy working 12 hour days or anything, but I would try to do 20 hours or so per week. Log in at the same time every day and you'll start to see familiar faces.
Do your best to put on great shows, encourage them to favorite you, and keep logging in.

SM kept that private because models also want that to be kept private for obvious reasons: models get trolled, attacked and the claws come out!

Well I heard they would retweet sometimes which spots ppl got but I heard the account got closed or something I couldn't find it and the streamatemodels one just posted the same top ten list they emailed.I know they announced anonymously for the girls that wanted that but I think there was like 8 who gave the ok to release there names.I just don't know which positions each person got. Just wonderin if anyone knew :)

^^I honestly never once was curious who got first or second or whatever. Never even crossed my mind to wonder about it. I have missed all the contests except the last one and I didnt actually try during the last one cause I knew I had other appointments that would take me away from cam but I was pleasantly surprised to see an extra add on to what I was expecting last friday because it turns out I did place! Still I didnt wonder even what MY placement was. If they sent out an email or something to tell me before hand I probably deleted it as junk mail!

I have a very good idea who placed #1 I will NOT say who (not even in a PM so don't bother) except to say, She's one of my favorite models. She is in private/exclusive probably close to 100% of her time online. And does NOT do gold shows. I enjoy watching her because she has her hustle down PERFECT! She fucking rocks! I can't see anyone but her winning. ;-)

Wow that's great !!I actually was just told it was a gold show girl and I know she only beat 2nd place by 200$ but worked more hrs . So I guess anything is possible .I know even if I am in pvt 100% of the time I still make more off gold shows normally but I don't charge to much so that's probably a mistake .I don't know

I would love to see her time on line to paid percentage! I sometimes have days where Im private or exclusive almost the whole time and I only get like 64% What do you have to do to get 100%???

well like that Tootsie Roll pop...we may never know how many licks it takes to get to the center. I like to watch girls and have my favorites. I was just guessing out loud. mmm a gold show girl? GEEZ, who knows right? Just the right guys tipping at the right time, the stars all line up and BAM! I had a guy I had never seen before come into my room...the other night, tip 100 gold for nuthin" He liked my butt! So, I started a gold show asking 140 for the goal, and BAM he paid it. Then he tipped a bunch more gold during the show! Never said a word after that and I haven't seen him since. You just never know.

Wow, I was peeping a front page model and clicked on one of the "similar models" pages at the bottom... the girl is sitting there in free chat, naked legs spread open, closeup.
Worst of all, this is her free chat topic!
$2 2 fingers pussy
$3 finger ass
$4 3 fingers pussy
$5 2 fingers ass
$10 toy pussy
I reported her... but seriously wtf.
During my last shift, I had a lot of guys asking to see pussy flashes in free chat. When I said that was against the rules and that we could only do that in private, I actually got responses like "That's bullshit, I see pussy all over this site." One guy even said he had never gone into private chat before, and bragged about how much nudity he's seen.
Ughhhh.
I've also noticed this race for the bottom tendency in SM and there are a lot more freeloading cheap-assed idiots floating about. Sadly, when you feed vermin, they come back in hordes.

I switched to KB as well and the faves carry over, it just took them a while. About a week I think. You also have your ratings and block list carry over eventually as well. Take advantage of that new model status while you can. I did the same - it was pretty awesome minus the awkward conversations for about a week with people I had banned on the old account.

I'm on week two of not getting my paycheck from Streamate (meaning I'm now missing two checks). I wrote Liz to make sure they were sending them to the right address. They are and everything seems fine on their end. I believe them because I've never not gotten my paychecks before. I've had them come late once but never just not show up like this. Is it possible someone is stealing them before they reach my mailbox? Liz said I should consider switching to FedEx but I've just never had an issue with plain old USPS and I hate the idea of losing 30 bucks a check to get them delivered via FedEx. Anyone know if there's a way to report missing mail to the USPS?

I had trouble setting up Payoneer. I'm in Texas and I've used the global deposit thing through payoneer with CMD before with no trouble so I don't know why I couldn't get it to work with streamate. It's been like a year since I tried though so maybe I'll try again and figure out what the bug was.

Looks like you have to have a tracking number to file a claim and as far as I know regular USPS checks aren't issued tracking numbers. Oh well, I'll just have to request a re-issue and maybe start getting them sent to a different address.

Regarding my issues with the SM broadcaster not connecting I really tried every stupid little thing I could and I sent a bug report to SM to which I was given the standard canned response so I called Liz.
Liz says that they are aware of these issues and every time we have them we need to continue to send the bug reports because that information helps the technician to tweek the system for the soon to be released "New Broadcaster". Liz stressed that they are very aware of these issues and although its frustrating they are working to fix them with the new release of the broadcaster so we wont have these issues anymore. The new broadcaster is expected to be released early next month so continue to send bug reports when you cannot connect. The canned response is the team confirming that they have received your report so dont take them to personally.
In the meantime, Liz says the problems seem to be intermittent (which is my experience as well) so continue to try and use the broadcaster from time to time but when it doesnt work you should still be able to stream using the encoder so switch to the FMLE when the broadcaster fails you. Liz assures me that our placements will not suffer for using FMLE so long as we use it with the new 720 settings.
I hope that helps out anyone else who is having these issues. It does make me feel better that they acknowledged that there are issues because that mean they are working to fix it. So far I have been using FMLE and I dont like it as I still get lagging and some pixelation but I have been making money with it and that is what matters! Keeping fingers crossed that the new broadcaster will be released soon!
I copy and pasted this from the other SM venting and discussing site issues thread in case people dont see it there.

Thank you for trying Streamate free chat. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the free chat feature we are now asking users to create a FREE LIFETIME membership after trying out the free chat. This membership costs you nothing unless you decide to enter a clearly marked premium area of the site.
Members get up close, personal attention from our models, much more so than you have seen so far with this demonstration.
Come join us, and see why people are saying that Streamate is the best chat site on the Internet today!
Hmm! Are they putting a stop to all the long-term lurkers?

Is it normal to sit for 10 min + with no one all all coming in? I was on one hour last night (around 4am gmt so yeah random time) and had 4 people come in and leave immediately, one stayed and bought a show. Most of the time I sat staring at an empty room. I havent been on in months so my stars have reset to 4 star, my rates are 6.99 exclusive, 10.99 prem. I wasn't using the encoder/broadcaster as trying to splitcam other sites. I had HD though.

03-23-2016, 10:47 AM
I was on around the same time last night and it was dead as fuck. It's usually not normal to sit around in free chat that much. I'd give it a week and see if things improve, then adjust your hustle/rates/equipment/etc.
Using the encoder will significantly boost your placement. I drop several rows if I don't use it.
