I'm trying to set up the encoder on my new laptop but I can't remember how I did it last time:( Every time I try putting in the settings that I'm using in the encoder in my other laptop, the encoder crashes? :banghead:
What am I doing wrong?
ave you tried using different cameras? I had to use my built in to calibrate before it worked with my c920

I believe that new models start out with 4 stars as well, your better off to offer a pic set or video for 5 star ratings to get them up that way

yeah new girls get 4* too, i was told that nobody really uses the new model tab much and i didnt notice a difference at all after new model period ended, which is why i said it, save yourself the effort of signing up again xx

How viable and quick would it be to close my sm account today and open a new one?
Last year when I was moving to Katy's studio, it took 3-4 days to move. BUT it's a pain in the derierre, and IMO not worth it, for the following reasons:
- You start with 4 stars;
- New accounts can't charge more than 5.99, and you have to badger support to allow you to charge more. SM support being the clowns that they are, this takes forever;
- Ditto gold shows, static pic and the pause button;
- You can't move your faves, comments and, most importantly *ban list* without losing that new girl status that you moved for in the first place.
The move was worth it for me because of daily pay and having a different cam name, but if it's just the new girl tag you're after, the slight uptick in people looking for new innocents isn't worth the palaver.

If you contact Liz and have a legitimate reason for closing and reopening. You have two choices:
-Open a new account with NEW MODEL status - no faves or bans
-Open a new account with NO NEW MODEL status- with transfer of faves and bans.
With both cases, you start at 0 hours worked and just have to work on time online. When I restarted my account, I kept my 5 stars, ratings for the past 90 days, bans, and faves. I just didn't have New Model status. But, it was worth it to me and with hard work and dedication I got back to my spot and then some within 3 months.

Agreed... Also, when I saw they changed the earnings page, I thought they would include something I've been (and I bet lots have been) complaining about for a long time.
When you offer something on your show (videos, pics, etc.) in exchange for Gold, the customer must then send you an inbox so you can reply with the link or whatever. For example, axel123 plegded 40 Golds to get your video. Then some idiot, thief, asshole, changes his nickname to axel123 (because he saw the pledge) and sends you the inbox, trying to trick you into thinking he's the one that pledged (because he's so freakin smart). Now you have two axel123 who sent you an inbox waiting for the reply with the link. Only one of them really pledged.
Turns out every customer has a customer ID number to their right. So now I have this scenario in my inbox:
From Subject
alex123 <31929408> Video
alex123 <87452975> Vid pls
So what now? I need to write support asking them to tell me who was the one that pledged, then wait for 1,2,3 or 4 days for the reply while I have an unsatisfied customer asking where the hell is his video.
SM now changed the earnings page... Was it so hard to listen to their models and include the <31929308> at the right of his name or when you click on him? If they did that, you can cross reference the ID number and in 30 seconds, you solved the big mistery, got your customer his video and reported the thief. And not just that, many other situations that present when two customers have the same nickname. But no, still no ID number on the earnings page.
I know this isn't our biggest concern right now (btw, last night traffic was absolute shit again), but it's small details like this that got SM where they are. If SM would listen to models and take their opinions, suggestions and complaints into consideration, they wouldn't be as bad as they are at this moment. This customer ID situation has such a simple solution, it just seems incredible to me they haven't fixed it. And this is just one of many small, stupid glitches that if they just listened and cared a little, would get fixed in a second and we would all win.
I signed up to manyvids recently... That site is amazing! Everything is so simple, so well thought. They have live support. Not only for customers btw, for performers too. When you open their live support and start chatting, you get blown away. So helpful, so responsive, so polite. But isn't it the smart thing to do? It's easy to see the way they think... Who's bringing in the cash? Performers! How should I treat them? Like freakin kings and queens! Easy! Make them feel like they matter, like they are the ones who earn us the money and they are the ones that we should be listening to so this site is the best it could be.
But no, we are stuck with SM customer support, their more than 6 months glitches, their automated replies, we are crazy and everything is our fault or our PC is the one failing, etc.
SM used to be such a great place to work...
I feel ya, I only have been on cams for 11 months and I feel that SM is not the same place since a few months ago, many technical problems, my live show is on 31 fps on HD with the Adobe encoder, I just cant use the SM Broadcast becuase that doesnt work for the clients who pay shows from phones, I'm kinda scared because I spend many hours there with only 10 dollars and we all know thats not normal, I want you to teach me if there are others sites to work more like SM, I mean on pvt and not for coins like chaturbate, im also kinda scared because my family, places like chaturbate has many free clients on my country and a lot of friends watch that, Im from colombia and I have no region restriction but SM has blocked my country IPs so I feel that its safe work here.

So I figured out my name problem. As it turns out no one has taken my name. The reason being they don't allow any form of the word "spy". Anyone know what other "words" aren't allowed? I'm still pretty new, so I may just play with other sites instead of trying this one for now.

Because I didn't log in first a while and my stars have reset to 4. There is a 'new models' tab so it's definitely a thing x
You have said a couple of pages back u have 5 stars etc why are u trying to cheat the system? - yr a brit and with all the right speed etc so yr be on front page as there are not many of us (and that is only me speaking from girls from the uk that have just joined up) when i started on sm 3 years back and was only on hd with shitty speed it took me 3 months to get to the front page but it was just my back up site at the time and i didn't use the encoder) .....i was top spot before the new settings last yr but as my mac now cannot get broadcaster or the encoders full hd settings i have had to take a step back until i upgrade my computer ( but still page one so not too much of a bitch)............its the same ole same ole milk them while you can, sm is diff than aw by a mile ....when u earn u earn when its a slow arse day nothing you can do on this site.
it would appear now no matter if you have just started or not on sm right now if u use the correct settings your land on page one if yr from the uk........which to me is not fair to the rest that worked hard at getting there, like i did and non uk girls that just start out. on sm the hot or not shit is irrelevant just quoting something you said in an easier post saying yr hott! - we are all fucking hot in a mans eyes that gets his cock hard at that moment. don't get too up yr self.
^^^ Just for the record, the fact u see UK girls on the front page is because u look up from the UK eventually, now placement is not what it was before, they display the models depending where the members are from, they mix the models on page one, like when viewed by the member he gets to see mostly his local girls together with some from other areas, PAGE ONE is always changing, it's never the same.
You can test this by using a proxy or vpn, log in with different ip's from different countries (USA, Canada, Europe, UK, Australia, Asia etc) to see how girls are displayed differently depending of ur virtual location thorough VPN ;)
Regarding the other aspects u mentioned in ur post, i agree that cam sites are different for each of us, we might do well on a site and do bad on another which again means it's not always about us but the clientele of that particular site & the way we used to cam.
If i go on AW i make shit for many reasons, if i go on token sites it's the same for me but on SM i do best when the site is working and there is paying traffic for me so i stay on SM cause there i have the clientele i need for my shows.
A girl used to a different hustle or site wont find business right away on a new site with a different hustle and clientele no matter how hot she looks/is or she thinks she looks/is.
I might look very hot for the guys on SM but look crap for the guys on Bonga let's say who dont wanna tip or take me pvt.
Go figure, it's a matter of trial and error in this business.
Wow Blovely, ur post should be a sticky no kidding, soo cool to put up all that links together, i would make a thread with ur post and bump it all the time so girls can see it always & go from there depending on what they looking for. I mean YOU to make a thread with that info :)
Good work indeed xx
^^^ Wait, again, the models who can cam with the HD settings thorough encoders, any of them (FMLE or SMB) are placed before anyone else who cant sustain these settings due to either PC specs or internet speeds.
No matter new model or veteran, SM gives models streaming in true HD the placement bonus. They informed us about this, that's why i raised hell when they missed to give the complete info about PC specs last year when they came up with the new settings un-officially, they did not say we need at least 8GB ram to run the HD settings (1280x720 picture size and 2000 bit rate AND 8GB RAM are required for these settings just for the record).
For SM the most important is to stream with these settings, when i did not have the 8GB ram cause of not knowing i needed them my room was wonky & my business suffered, this situation lasted for 10 damn months in my case till i found out & got my rams & upgraded my pc also with a fresh Windows on it, faster and better.
Dont worry about 'cheating the system' by some models, that new model status will anyway bring in a lot of cheap guys looking to fool new models thinking they new in the business, that new model status dont weight in much anyway but it's people right to start fresh if they want, maybe they want a new name or to join a daily pay service or so. It's not about stealing business from others believe me, the model will make money or not on SM no matter if new model status or not, she will find out on her own if it was a good decision to get a new account or not.
Peace!
... on sm the hot or not shit is irrelevant just quoting something you said in an easier post saying yr hott! - we are all fucking hot in a mans eyes that gets his cock hard at that moment. don't get too up yr self.
I fully agree with this statement ;)

Ive never restarted a SM account so I could be wrong with my opinion. But I don't think restarting a new account is gonna help that much. Ive seen girls who were brand new with bombass placement sink like a rock as soon as it was over. Many of them won't last. Now for an experienced camgirl a new girl status can be a good thing but to take advantage of it over and over is kinda silly. Try being consistent first before you pull out the tricks.
^^^ hey i know you!! You are a hottie with amazing boobs yay, i was admiring u on cam no kidding but then i was thinking u were gone from SM?! Later on i saw u with short hair & not top page placement but i was thinking it was because of being gone for a good while that's why the lower placement?
I see where u come from hottie, i get u. I wanna be neutral here just now, people tend to jump on the ones who have the guts to criticize some models behavior or talk open about the way they feel regarding some matters so i choose to not comment much on certain topics.
P.S: no need to quote me or comment negatively on my post here guys, i am neutral, I AM NEUTRAL!!
Just for the record ;)
ETA: my SM account is 6 years old but i worked consistently on it with only short breaks of a few days or max a week when i was sick or busy with other matters, in rest 6 years of hard work and dedication plus i been thru a lot of changes on SM, when i started the site was soo very basic but there was business, now it's just different not in the good way IMO.
Theres the camgirl bookmarks that Curvy Winona (http://curvywinona.blogspot.no/2014/08/camming-bookmarks.html?zx=101062927dd6fd02) made. We could all put helpful links in our bios and bump threads all day long. And STILL people will come along with How do you Splitcam? How Do you Promote? How do you use Twitter? What sites should i use to make the most money. What time should I log in lol and on and on. We could all put helpful links in our signatures something like
ATTENTION PLEASE READ YOUR MONEY DEPENDS ON IT
Something like that maybe?
They wont even see that or care i bet, u right ;)
It took me 8 damn months to open my 1st thread in here & i was not new camgirl but pretty experienced and i still had the decency to read a lot before asking and opened a thread after a long while.

Streamate glitches survey is up in @streamatepolls. Be sure to follow and answer the survey. I'll post the results this weekend hopefully. We need all the girls we can get in there voting!
After that, polls will be posted about our suggestions to SM on which new features we would like to see and which current ones we think are out of date or not helpful anymore.
So follow and DM with your ideas!

Where the HELL is everyone?
For the past few weeks, it seems like ALL but a few regs have disappeared!
Six years on SM, building up my clientele, camming some days for 10 hours, just to feel like I'm a newbie.
I try not to go into top model's room, but I have been, only to discover that They too, only have a few people in their rooms.
Last night was the final straw. I watched a gold show countdown with 2 girl lesbian show. Dudes we're complaining that $7 for a long show was too much to pay.
And the meanness of New guys.
I first joined SM, because it was recommended to me by another cam girl I worked with on naked.com(which was my first site, along with MFC). She said the customers were the nicest, and most generous. And they were.
Sad, really sad what the site has become.:'(

For the past 2 days, I haven't had anybody stay in my room. They all leave a second later. A few will stay a minute, say something and then leave. I had my bf check my stream to see if I'm lagging or anything but he didn't see any problems. I don't know if it's my encoder or if I'm suddenly revolting to everyone.

I'm quitting this shithole of a site this year. I'm done! I'm tired of this shit and I'm ready for a site that treats models with respect and where we can feed a family on it. Just so done!!!
Same here! I haven't been on SM in a week and don't miss it. I'll be joining a site that pays in euros (have yet to decide which) since I'll be living in Europe as of August.

There us no way its you. not on that spec. However I just use a £200 amd desktop and I stream same settings. I changed shift pattern rather than work Friday night I got up at 6am to follow the midnight timezone accross America. And had a great shift. I use a vpn to show up higher with the USA guys as they love my accent. But even connecting my second pc to a different vpn I still show up high on the listings so I dont know how the ranking actually works. As I was 3Rd row front page from any location dispite the different zones I checked on. Even UK mobile networks other than the black screen hit refresh and it works. They might have actually started getting somewhere with overhaul their network

Taxes are due on Monday...a lot of dudes are strapped right now. Also, at some point today, SM's payment servers went down, leaving certain people unable to pay by credit card. Not sure if this has since been fixed, but I know that that was a huge issue for the night.

@hyori : maybe this site is the response to your questions: http://nsfwjobs.applytojob.com/apply/
As long as they are looking for new employees maybe they are preparing the transition
It's almost a perpetual thing, SM looking for programmers & tech people. I suspect the company employees are as disgruntled at how things are handled there as we models are =p
Personally, I don't think SM has any plans to convert to HTML5. I've confirmed with @RealStreamate that the Broadcaster is Flash based too, just like the encoder. IMO if they had any interest in converting to HTML5 they would have waited to launch that bug-filled piece o'crap Broadcaster, until the platform had been converted to HTML5.
I'd be thrilled if I'm wrong. But I really don't see that SM is making any visible moves toward building an HTML5 platform. Which BTW the ad says they are looking for specialists in HTML, not HTML5. Is there a distinction?

SM encoder, do you mean the Broadcaster?
Are you having better results with the new Broadcaster?
The encoder is the FMLE, so I'm confused.
Personally, I rarely ever had streaming signal drop using the FMLE encoder, but with the Broadcaster it drops repeatedly, both in free chat & paid shows.
Better placement be damned, I think I'm going to have to go for worse placement but better feed (and customer satisfaction at not having my stream freeze or drop) and go back to the FMLE encoder =(

I mean the whitelables...or affiliates... whatever the fuck they're called idk.
It's like....6 am or something... I cammed through the night....so tired.... let me see 1 sec...
Like if I type "camgirls" into bing and compare results with google.
livecamgirls.com doesn't show. (unless I were to specifically type that) Which is us.
camfever.com is us.... doesn't show
webcamgirls.com is us....doesn't show.
livecam.com is us.... doesn't show...
ect... those things...
mind you.. those were just the ones I get on page one of bing. None of which show on google. Streamate.com doesn't show on google when I type in camgirls either. Unless you specifically LOOK for it...
This happened a few years ago....that's when there was the major change in traffic. Back in the day we were EVERYWHERE.... I remember lol.
Idk why it happened....google did it. That's about all I know... I know it happened and I know I felt the change. Immediately. It's been different ever since for me. 800/1000 goldshows?? lol yeah right... lol. It's just not the norm anymore :D I still make pretty good money, it's just A LOT harder!!!!! And I mean, a LOT! I'm not going to sugar coat it.
(ahhhhh...but google will happily direct you to naked.com or chaturbate lol....)
and no I don't have "safe search" on
What's funny is I have other accounts on other sites. Just in case you know. A few times I've thought sm might just not be working for me anymore and tried to change. Regulars found me on those other sites in the very short time I was there and tipped me...300...600 dollars plus. Crazy right? Big tippers are moving. They want more for their money. Kik. twitter. skype. ect ect ect.... Things that sm doesn't let us do freely. I don't blame the guys :/ Everyone wants the best deal in life. I will say though, that 50% cut was nice as fuck. For me though, I still make the most off streamate than anywhere else. I'm comfortable there though. And until things go very bad for me on that site, I'm not leaving anytime soon.
In 2015 Google revamped their metrics to lower the search ranking of sites with duplicate content. Of course Streamate, and other major camming sites, each have thousands of duplicate affiliate white label sites. Each are sharing the exact same layout, only having different names & colors.
To read up on it, you can look at this search results:

Someone else mentioned that earlier. I think they said SM lost. Although IMO the time frame was way too quick to have gone through the legal system.
This morning while surfing, I found this MASSIVE affiliate white page creator
http://wavesideentertainment.com/
Holy cock-a-moly! There must be 100 websites.
They've gotten around the Google duplicate site thing by using the standard SM webpage format, but surrounding it by other info/ads. None of them are exactly the same, but they all contain the same affiliate white page info. They're also recruiting models. I can only begin to imagine what this company is earning in affiliate $$$$.
I suspect the Google smack-down is still impacting them, but not as heavily as sites that are merely the same cookie-cutter SM layout with a different URL, logo & color palette.

It would be nice if Streamate can get this working properly as tons of tweets show how many girls are online and at least they are advertising us.
Those tweets are coming from the affiliates, not SM itself. It sounds like that affiliate has done a lot of work to create an auto-tweet program for their sites. Lucky you!
We love that, while Twitter hates automated tweets & tries to smack the accounts that do it down =p
Are you aware that @Streamate was banned from Twitter & they never went through the steps to fight it*. So they can't tweet for us if they wanted too =(
* If you're ever banned because haters report you, Twitter gives you the steps to fight it and get your account back. We just have to pay attention to the info they send out which tells us how to get our account back. I did, and I got my account back (but then, I'm squeaky clean by Twitter standards, so I knew I wasn't reported for showing my snatch or something)

Yeah I keep my twitter decent. Its when I log in they use a auto tweet so the affiliate has thought it out well. even has a range of messages in the tweets. Their twitter has nothing to do with mine so the ban is all theirs to deal with.
I wasnt aware Streamate and twitter had beef. But its crazy how many sites Streamate has had issues with.

Lots of sites run into problems with twitter. SM is not the only one. Clips4Sale is another. Some of my ModelCentro tweets were flagged. Manyvids as well. When I tried to retweet a manyvid tweet the content was automatically marked as sensitive material. Affiliate marketing is just about the only way SM advertises. They have a few commercial spots on ComedyCentral and SpikeTV, but I don't see those often. When I asked about targeted traffic and what was being done I was told they don't interfere with the affiliates. Didn't really answer my question but that was the response given. Also Cambuilder was mentioned. I suppose they were saying that if I wanted to target traffic then start a cambuilder website? The conversation was kinda all over the place. Not a bad idea if you have the time and the know how. Currently I don't have the time. Maybe in a few months. Sam38g made this point a few times on SW how Cambuilder reps with go to gfy to recruit affiliates. They'll create threads answering all questions and give tips on how to build a successful whitelabel but they won't do the same here on Stripperweb? Misogyny at it's worst or finest depending on your perspective. www.cambuilder.com
Cambuilder Thread 1 (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?209170-Two-different-sites-with-almost-all-the-same-models-on-the-first-page&highlight=cambuilder)

Cambuilder Thread 3 (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?208999-Streamate-Cambuilder-com&highlight=cambuilder)
Since they don't want to empower us with the knowledge you can always search google for gfy and cambuilder to see how it works. IF you are looking for a solution that is.

How behind the times the UK is. Streamate TV adverts lol. Thats unimaginable in the UK. I did have one show that asked for all music off and was wondered if it was someone making a video but I cant find anything on the tube sites or pirate sites.
Its a shame they gave up on advertising but with token sites its prob they have to rethink their business model.

Cammodels is real but you only get money from it as long as you are an active model on the site. But becoming an affiliate guarantees you a lifetime revshare.

I have several guys that cant figure out how to send me their cam once they are in private with me:( Anyone know how they are suppose to send me an invite, so I can walk them thru it when they ask again?
^^^ I always tell them to look for a button or link or icon there under my video, it has to be something to click on tho i never knew how it looks like cause i dont have a member account on SM and cant have one.
Does anyone wish to help & post a print screen pls? I never seen how member interface looks like, i too wish to know what they have there and how to guide them for cam2cam. I cant have a member account on SM due to restrictions in my region, SM blocks my country be default.

ETA: By the way, do they ever have the option for cam2cam when mobile, can they send their cams that way? (Phone, tablet etc). Some ask & i never know what to tell lol, there are some i ask about cam2cam and they say "i am mobile, no option avail".
