I only have 2 upload and I'm on the middle to top half of first page. I was in the same place when my upload was only .75! As long as you can upload with the highest settings, you should be fine. Bitrate seems to make a big difference. Once my bitrate adjusted from the last time I was on cam (over a year ago) my placement shot up.
I wouldn't spend the extra money if it were me. Unless you plan to or are already split camming.
I do split cam tho with and usually have 6 sites up at one time and going to add more. I have 2 laptops and a 40 inch tv with a 20 inch monitor and will be hooking up another 20 inch monitor soon.
I've also wondered if bitrate had anything to do with placement? Ever since I've started using my 40 inch tv, I've noticed my bitrate going up very slowly but going up( Maybe cause its putting more light on me?) Is there anything that I can do to make my bitrate go up faster?

Bitrate is a big factor. If you are splitting that many sites then yes, I would upgrade.

This is like the 6th time I've been kicked off in 30 mins. I don't even get a prompt anymore. My encoder doesn't disconnect, it's SM. Anyone experiencing this? Every show gets disconnected, and I also get disconnected.

I just have to say that my last private tonight was a first in my 10 years of camming. I actually had a guy who legit turned me on just by looking at him. And he was a black dude and I am not even really into that but he was so hot.... So very very hot! He had a fit af body and his dick was 9 inches and PERFECT. I couldnt even handle it! :O I gotta get me some of that!
Had this happen earlier this year with a dude who could've been Sam from supernaturals doppelganger. #droolfest

One thing I will give SM that I highly appreciate is we get paid, when we get paid... if a custie doesn't have the funds in his account for a show he gets just that = NADA / ZERO / ZIP .... no one wants to deal with the hassle if wondering whether or not you're going to receive payment ... despite the low percentage, kudos to them for that !

Hey guys, how long does it usually take for a change of address to go through? I changed mine yesterday and it still says "awaiting approval by accounting department" but maybe they don't work weekends, who knows.

DELETED no threadjacks. Please start your own thread.
I was excited at first about Camglomerate, however.
They will post your link as a squirtnetwork link, so you can't post your affiliate cammodels link... If you wanna attract new customers, you'd want them to sign up using your link, so you can actually make some extra money... Basically: they get money with their affiliate and increase their traffic via their own link, and you get maybe, a few new twitter followers which are usually NOT paying customers. That's the impression i got after researching. Thanks, but no....
If anyone else had a different experience using this app, please share, maybe i got the wrong impression

You're so right about this, and it is one of their best assets.
It's why I have been with them as long as I have (6 years).
Some cam sites pop up out of nowhere, luring girls to join with big promises....but then there's always an issue with getting paid. Everytime. (Just speaking from personal experience).
And the charge backs on some sites.. don't get me started.
I bitch and moan to myself all the time about getting paid only ONCE a month with most of my pso companies.
I mean, I worked all month in July, and I JUST got my paycheck yesterday from Niteflirt. And it came so late, that my bank was closed, so I have to wait till Monday).

I was wondering about the SM contests... Is it just the prize incentives for us or do customers get discounts too? I had a great day today and assume it was because of the contest, but if customers don't make savings, then why would we get better traffic even if they do promote the contest on twitter/emails etc???

TBH I think you need to get out of the general SM thread and start a new thread, as it is EXTREMELY obvious (and you have said) that you are a rep for this service. IMO reps need to create their own threads rather than threadjacking others and be up front about what your relationship is with the org (ie are you doing this for nothing or do you have an agreement for extra promo or are you staff etc).
Betsyxo
08-14-2016, 03:43 PM
They dont use a direct streamate link, they use a squirtnetwork link..... last time i checked i never signed up on Squirtnetwork or any other whitelabel or whatever that is... and i think Bootsie is right

So we use this link on our twitter instead of our cammodel link and loose our cammodel link % for the possibility of increased coverage? Yeah, that's what all white labels are for, and they promote me on twitter without my help. I'll take my 75%. Thanks though!

He's viewing you from an external site (like if you had your shows embedded to stream to something like a Model Centro or whatever).
If you don't have one, then this guy is up to no good. If he ever asks you to enable some kind of "external" option in your settings (I forget exactly what it's called) DO NOT do it. He's trying to scam you.

I've been getting a lot of greens lately. All guest_6373 type screen names.
Model Centro members are ORANGE!!!!!!! And also if they are your fans will not likely just be quiet in your room. I kept banning green guests and another one would appear instantly.
I have no idea what that is about

Actually, they won't show up orange (gold) unless your modelcentro members are logging in from Streamate. If they are viewing your live stream from your modelcentro website they will show up as GREEN. But yes, it is possible to see random green names that are not members of your site because they are using a backdoor access (aka hacking).

Streamate is facing hacking issues in that case. I know my members and they are always happy to say at least hi. It was so weird to see GREENS banned and reappear instantly.
MistressX
08-15-2016, 03:37 PM
Then it is hacking because I don't have any external streams. What the everloving fuck! I will be banning him the next time I see him. His name is "Charlie" and he has never taken me private or paid any money. I just said hi to him every time I saw him because I thought it was something new or special. Fuck that guy

Best part is, you can't block him. You can only kick him out everytime you see him. And Streamate won't do shit about it.

Customers already get discounts depending on their spending level on the site. They get a certain % of gold they spend on the site back to re-spend, essentially. It's a sliding scale, the more they have spent on the site the bigger of a % they get back.
They don't get anything special during contests, though, just the same bonuses as usual.

Hi everyone ! So I signed up on SM 2 weeks ago now . I cant believe I am on the first page ! I am really ' trying ' lol. I am on MFC ( i use to make 800-1000 every 2 weeks) but now maybe 200 in 2 weeks lol, I am making more on SM, anyways...I have a question about private rates..I probably wont be new soon, I started at 2.99 for paid and 3.49 for exclusive..so I raised it up to 3.29 and 4.04 for Exclusive..does that sound good? WHat do you recommend? Any tips? I keep getting so many 1-2 minuter guys ! lol so annoying, but better than nothing, i guess. Also, I am trying 5 C for topless, and before I would try handbra/topless...should i not do that? This User ModelAdvisor helped me out, the person helped me get privates ( I think he/she is a scam artist though?) ok , I appreciate any advice! I may quit MFC, so many guys just sit in my room and wont talk lol
Marina Starr
08-16-2016, 04:51 PM
Congrats on being on page one. I would raise your rates to $5.99 for private and $7.99 for Exclusive!

I didn't take advantage of my new model status, have like 1 rating total, and when I log in I get exclusives at $5.99min, raise your rates!

oh ok thanks girls, and the guys will pay it ? lol
Teddy_Bear
08-16-2016, 06:33 PM
The guys will pay whatever you charge if they like the look of you or dig your personality. I used to charge 7.49 when I had new model status because I wanted to capitalise on that new girl money but once I established some regulars and lost the new tag I raised it to 9.99 and they still pay that now. The same regulars still visit me and I've never heard any complaints in fact they often tell me how much I deserved the increase :D a couple waited for me to get 'desperate' and lower them but even they returned recently for shows again once they realised the new price was here to stay.
Train them to believe you are an expensive luxury because you are. The ones that do complain 'oh bb why so expensive?' couldn't afford you if you were 0.99 a minute and unless it's free would complain anyway and even if it was free they would complain you weren't whistling Dixie out your arse for them.
Congratulations on your success on SM long may it continue!

What would you ladies charge for a custom video? This guy has asked twice and said he'll pay what I want. I charge $7.99 exclusive but definitely want more than that to make a video. I haven't gotten into making videos yet.

For videos paid through Streamate I charge them according to what it would take to get my regular payment minus Streamates cut so currently my videos on Streamate are like $150 because I charge $50-$100 normally. Warning this works for me because I rarely do videos, all of them are custom made and I do fetish mostly. I've seen models charge anywhere between $5-$60 if they sell them on the regular

That's the only way I'd be selling vids through SM too. The cut is too low. No way I'm giving away vids for 2 or 3 g my cut. I don't even bother. For the one or two guys that would pay it there's far too many more that will tell me it's too expensive.

I've been gone awhile, should I try to rebuild myself on SM or sign up for Katy's daily play studio and transfer my account, get new model status, and match my name to my Twitter name. Any thoughts girls? Is it possible to make a comeback after a year and a half ?

^^ Uh-oh, it looks like you might have joined a studio. There's no "new girl" percentage. :( I urge you to look through the stickied threads like:

https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?160099-How-to-sign-up-for-sites-directly-to-earn-more-(aka-avoid-studios)
More girls might chime in on some advice about your percentage, but definitely check to see if you accidentally signed up with a studio. Make sure you do lots of research on this forum from here on out because knowledge is power. c:

Yeah OP looks like you are in a studio. Who did you sign up with Streamate through? It's not end of the world if you did sign up through a studio, more of reason to charge higher rates since you are getting a lower percentage. If you need help and direction how to leave we can help you. Also Streamate isn't the only site you can make money on. <3

You are most likely in a studio. Read about them and get yourself out. Bear in mind also though that if you are from a Tier 2 country (so not the US, UK, GB, AUS and a few other european countries) you'll only get 30% total by default.

"What if I decide that webcam modeling isn't for me?
Then you contact us and let us know. It's that simple. We will then deactivate your account and cash out whatever may be owed to you, at the end of the pay period. We dont make you sign any contracts at all."
So by their website it looks like they will release you no problem and you didn't sign any contracts with them that would keep you stuck in a 6 mo waiting period... But I cannot hold any promises. I would just email her saying, "Please close my account entirely I think camming isn't for me." That's it. I would cc
[email protected] just incase she doesn't and you have proof to the site you have requested and they have record too. Once your account is closed, create a new account. I would wait like a week. You'll lose all your favorites and comments and have a brand new profile. Make sure to sign up here: streamatemodels.com next time
No where on their site mentions they will be taking a percentage of your earnings. Sooo scummy studio tactic, not being transparent. Also this made me Lol.. "We are THE ONLY agency that is cam girl owned and operated." THIS IS A FUCKING LIE! There are so many cammodels who have studios on Streamate. There is a member on this forum who was a cammodel who has an amazing studio that has daily payment options, contests, and other cool things: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?189264-The-BoleynModels-InstantPay-Thread&highlight=instant

ya my traffic has been pretty low lately & I have just chalked it up to the fact that I haven't been on theree long enough I guess in the last few days since I started another site. So realistically how many hours per day do I need to be on there to get much better traffic?
