Tonight was my first night camming so I am not sure what is considered regular traffic.
I was on for about an hour at a time (taking a break to cam on another site) and I only had a maximum of like 4 people at a time in the public chat.
Is that typical for SM?

For me traffic was good yesterday and not glitchy at all.. was working perfect.. and my placement was good between 8 - 15th spot .. thats odd

Yes, that's pretty normal, especially for a new model that doesn't have many favorites yet. Just keep in mind that on SM, you can get a show even if you only have one guy in your room. If you get taken to paid chat frequently, you'll probably never have a ton of guys in your room at a time, because by the time they start to trickle into your room after one private, you'll get whisked off to the next private!
That being said, it's usually not ideal to switch back and forth between sites too much. "One hour here, one hour there, repeat" doesn't allow you to build up momentum on either of the sites. A lot of models feel that there's some dead time when you first log in, and then after that, you get a more steady rhythm of privates (or tipping if you're on a token site). The more times you log off and come back later, the more dead time you'll have to sit through. This is especially true on token sites like MFC, where the dead time can easily last for multiple hours.
Obviously, take breaks when you need them and keep yourself refreshed, but maybe try to consolidate your time on each site and see if that works better. If you have 4 hours per day, try 2 hours on one site followed by 2 on the other, or spend all your time on one site, and do the other site the next day. YMMV, but if you want to build up more people in your room, you'll have a better shot if you don't log in and out too often.

I know this is a rookie question, but I pretty much never PM anyone, so I've never tried this. Is it possible to click on a member's name, and then click on a saved message? Will that send the saved message as a PM?
I'd like to have a saved message saying something to the effect of "You're asking for exclusive shit in a group show. Please go exclusive if you want to direct that badly." I only want to send it to the offending member though, because I don't want some other guy who politely asked about a different position to think I'm yelling at him.

If u select his name (highlight it) and send the saved message it will go to him only, the offender so yes, it's like sending a PM.

Perfect! Thank you!
Last night I got a 3 star rating from a guy who went premium, and 3 other people came in behind him. He wanted my tits right up close to the cam, or a close up of just my face (for him to cum on). I did the close-ups for a short time, and then moved on to other things that others wanted. The dude kept saying, "No, closer, just tits up close!" so I verbally said, "This is a group show, so I'm doing things for everyone here." I don't feel like I can appeal the bad rating because I didn't type out a refusal, and I wasn't totally clear about who I was talking to. It's the first time I've gotten a bad rating for something like that, but as my rates get higher, I'm having more and more issues with people wanting an exclusive show in premium. I'm thinking it's better to just have a canned response for them that I can screenshot later.

So now, Streamate has introduced this type of messaging so we don't complain anymore because of in and outers?
How brave...
"Oh is not site's fault, the user left by himself!!!".
Yep...>:(

I'm actually pleased that they introduced that. I'm tired of hearing complains about the ins and outs. No one tends to be logical anymore. Not every guy has to : like me, want to chat with me, afford me, etc. Yes most guys are actually browsing before they find someone they truly enjoy seeing/ talking to. Obviously I'm not talking here about the guy using his mobile with a crap wifi. But that's not a glitch either, it's customer's issue.
Knowing how much I browse ( out of boredom or to find someone to take private) I can't tell the ins and outs are glitches. I enter and leave so many rooms I lose count. MAYBE these guys are doing the same.

its only going to say they logged off. "disconnect is the exact same as logged off"
Usually the system will stop you from holding a goldshow if a member is going private but today not 10 mins after this more than I care to read in a chat, I hold gold show, member goes private,member suddenly kicked out fucking private over a fucking gold show ( logged off (reason: unknown) bc I implemented a goldshow just before he went private.
Just so the system can register one more motherfucking thing that is completely goddamn useless.
This shit would not have happened yesterday. I bet ya it would not have. and it looked like on his end I KICKED HIM OUT? fuckn christ, the small shit can have a big impact
when a model knows her shit, she fuckn knows it
But yay one more fucking "tool" to report

I guess, SM. We pretty much know why a user logged out, lol. What, no "user has run out of funding"? Pfttt. I guess I'll have to be happy with the "user must contact stttuuuupport" aka their card limit probably has been reached, lol.

Wait...what' whoa..if it's not anything you've purchased online like some one week freebie sign up ad you may have forgotten about, that may be set up as a autobill, nor showing from whom on the statements, call Payoneer ASAP!

Does anyone know how the customer do cam2cam once they are in paid chat? I had a guy go pvt with me and then ask how to go cam2cam but he never could figure it out. He said he was on a laptop but I wasn't sure what to tell him to look for?

Know what SM could do that would REALLY make models happy? Like, overjoyed beyond all fucking belief? GET RID OF THE FUCKING PEEPS. Or less time. FFS. Seriously, if they got rid of that or cut it by 1/3, I would PERSONALLY PROMISE to not complain about them for SIX WHOLE MONTHS. SWEARSIES. Christ. Throw us a fucking bone that MEANS something.
I'm just grumpy because guys were having weird stuff happen on Sunday. It settled down the third time I reconnected, but guys were having issues hearing me, seeing me, taking me pvt. It kept taking them into pvt but I still was in free chat, INCLUDING TALKING TO DUDES WHO WERE RESPONDING then suddenly I would be in paid with about 2 mins of "babe? babe why aren't you doing what I ask???" I felt shit, since most of the guys stuck around (thank fuck) and the ones who left came back to try again and didn't give me 1* ratings or anything. It's hard to not have anything to say except "I'm so sorry you spent $8+ to watch me talk to other dudes and suggest THEY go pvt with me when you already had".

I think a 10 second limit is more than ample to decide whether or not to join a show. the amount they have now is kind of ridiculous. even cb's private function starts billing peepers after 10 seconds, and they don't even get to interact!

offline tips are nice, but considering all the contests they've been doing, I'd hope if they made it an option that they wouldn't count offline tips as part of your earnings for contest days.

You need to contact payoneer immediately about this. It couldnt be a tax on ATM cash! Something is wrong and I would think its on their end because of the ATM transaction. But be prepared! if it is their fault it will take UP TO 90 days to refund your funds and in my experience that means they will wait 85 days at least! lol

I feel you. I think the ins and outs is freeloaders looking to peep on a show in progress. I think it's kinda odd that they are in and out in 2 seconds also. But I did have a guy trying to scam me. Did a show. It says user left. Then he comes in and says what happened? I said it says you left. Most likely he was going to try to jump back into a show and think I'd skip the first minute formalities because heck - we were just in there. Cheap fuck

I like it because it says in the free chat that user has left to go to paid chat. This helped me know when someone from free was popping into a private show, I actually was able to catch a long time pepper because of it and banned his ass!

Does anyone know if my payment waiting period would be over by now? I know its 3 weeks before payment for new models on SM, is that 3 weeks from the date your approved or 3 weeks from your first payment request. I'm yet to email support to change the holding to a week, but i've been on the site over 3 weeks so is that over? Thankyou in advance

3 weeks for first payment unless you contact support and ask to be put on weekly paid.

I had this exact response from support last week, when I needed a rating removed.
It was the first time they ever said it in that way.
I like it.
It means no more screenshots on my end to save.
Looks like SM is stepping up their game.

Ask CS to remove the rating for you. I did a twenty five minute show the other day and the dickhead left three stars. If it wasnt a five star show why stay so long? I asked CS to remove the rating and they did. Some customers are just assholes and no matter how much you do a good show they will just leave a bad rating.

Does anyone know, do they use the Top Spot shows for promotions or something? I just opted in and tried my first one today. I'm wondering if I'm more likely to get recorded and posted on tube sites if I do Top Spot shows, or if they'll resell those shows. I have geo blocking on and asked to opt out of promotions.

Hi everyone!
I just joined this community and this is my first post, i can;t really find much help or info on different streamate related topics...
I have been a camgirl for 5 years and a performer there since late may, so im still new, but there are some things i dont understand very well. Does everyone make 35% of what they earn, or not? I currently make 30%, initially support told me i earn 35%, but then came back and rectified that i make 30%. Even though i asked them for some information on why, i never got any explanation, so any of you know why? Is it because i'm new, or the way i signed up or something like that?
Also, i find Stremate very pleasant to work on, i get decent traffic for being so new, i set my private rate at 4.29, and my excl at 5.39, and my gold shows sell for around $40. However i am very put off by the 3 week reserve on my earnings, will that ever go away? I just cant keep up with that....
About topspots, i just had my first one yesterday, AMAZING! A lot of traffic, and i made my goal in no time, they gave me a bigger goal than what i usually ask for, and i nevr imagined i can hit that so fast. They say that geo resctrictions apply, so i believe that, however, you will get more attention when doing a topspot show, so that includes potentially unwanted attention, like people recording your shows etc.

If you are getting 30% it sounds like you might be with a studio. Are you in Eastern Europe, or did you sign up anywhere but Streamatemodels.com?
