Offline placement is your "true" placement in regards to the other offline girls. So if you and everyone around you were online at the same time and not in shows, that's the exact order you will be in. Lots of things affect placement, like hourly average, number of hours you work, quality of your equipment, etc.
Wow that is fucking bullshit then, I use an HD cam and I work regularly, I get at least 3 "5 star ratings" every shift, especially lately I am on daily. I used to place on the first page when I was offline always, now I am on the 3rd page behind people who have not done a show since April? How is that possible??

In my opinion totally worth it...guaranteed pay and a hell of a lot of conversions afterwards if you do it right. I have gotten so many regs from those and so much attention and it has really boosted things for me, you just gotta use that time to sell the shit outta yourself.

Against all odds, I managed to make $100 off the contest! This is the first time I've won anything in an SM contest, so...dumb question, how and where do I see the prize money in my dashboard? It's not on my earnings page. It gets released along with this week's pay, right?
Thanks in advance xxx

Has something changed with how they rank the models? For some reason I'm suddenly on the first page and having great traffic I'm not complaining but the only thing I have changed is my cam I haven't been on much lately either let's hope it hear to stay great day today!

SM do "reward" you for having equipments. It's never been confirmed but for me ranking goes in this order:
MONEY MADE
Consistency/hours worked
Equipments
Ratings

^^ yeah i always got mine right after the contests were over but I do remember that the first few contests the bonus didnt come out until a few weeks later.
Hopefully that was just cause it was still a new thing and from now on the bonuses will be issued the same week. i didnt work for the first part of the contest so I dont know if last weeks pay cheque contains the bonus or not.

yeah, I think in the announcement it said the earnings would show up by thursday
DeepThoughts
09-05-2016, 12:34 PM
It may depend on how early or late in the week the contests are. They issue payments on Wednesday so they have to have time to add the bonuses before then.
When I said "this current week's paycheck", I meant that the bonuses would probably be on the paycheck that gets sent out *next* Wednesday for your earnings from this week. Although sometimes they're really quick about it, so there is a chance it could be adjusted in time for the paycheck getting sent out this week. (Sorry, that was confusing to explain, lol.)
Yeah that is what I ment as well!

On the topic of top spot shows, what kind of offers are you getting? I don't do many good shows as my style is more personal, so when I was getting offers they were just $75 (and then I'd only get a third) has it actually been confirmed anywhere that these are the shows that get recorded and given to affiliates for promotion? Because I think most girls want more than $25 to be put on porn hub lol!

Has anyone else noticed they changed the qualifications for roundtrip in the rankings page? It used to be 100 or below was excellent...it's now 400 or below. So now I can finally have excellent across the board since I'm always around 120!

This is nice indeed cause my RTT is around 200 mark so i was in disadvantage from the start cause of long distance from here in EU to SM servers in Seattle USA, now it says Excellent at RTT too which is a more fair thing, not sure how much it matters but it's nice to not feel 'punished' from the start cause of my location.
Ty SM for changing things into the right direction regarding this matter :)

I stopped doing gold shows because they ALWAYS GET RIPPED even if I'm geoblocked and opted out of marketing. Someone will record it and put some stupid title on there like"horny cum guzzling teen wants to meet up"
It didn't improve my earnings at all. When I found the videos I was in a low earning rut and hmmm MAYBE it's because I had so many free gold shows floating around.
Rolls eyes...
Yeah $75 for a top spot is so cheap...no...

In 14 yrs I have never seen a cam site like SM.. it's an amazing cam site with really great guys on there who treat you like an actual human being.. a part of their family.. I just got to witness the greatness on this cam site that there is no other.. I had 3 guys tipping huge amounts of money because I was upset with some guy on some other cam site who was just being a trouble maker.. so the guys on SM came through and tipped a total of $325.. I am just in awe. I have been on there since 2009.. but the real true guys who are on SM are just amazing.. I never seen so many guys vie for your affection like them.. I started to tear up.. no one has ever cared about me the way cam guys have.. not family, not friends.. . I do not think of them as anything other than customers.. but they cease to amaze me.. strangers who go to get their jollies who are willing to give up so much money for a woman they barely know.. they are amazing! I hope SM continues to live on .. because I have never seen such camaraderie before on any other cam sites.. I mean maybe MFC but you have to be a certain kind of girl on there.

I really wish that you can block the people who just pop in and out of your room once they've left. I had the same guy come in 6 or more times (clearly looking for something free) Anyone have any recommendations on how to keep them away or a way to block them?

You are not allowed to split cam on sm it's against the t&c and you could lose your account! The only way to do it is with two separate cameras so you are broadcasting separate streams. Or use a different way to broadcast and potentially forfeit placement. I say potentially because some girls don't notice a difference but some do

I don't think you can, I think it has something to do with the wide screen feature.. or you can't stream in widescreen and split cam.. I do not know but I only use 1 camera for SM and a different cam for everything else.. get a 2nd webcam.. you can get a cheap one for like $30 or so and use your good one for SM

True! and I don´t have a huge delay, I have an acceptable 300is mms wich sounds reasonable to me, much more than like 800/1000 I used to have considering I have like 200mms in other sites. I can actually follow a conversation and engage, such a change! I hope this keep like this.

You need to opt-in in your dashboard, and have done successful gold shows (hit your target) before.
Also who gets picked is dependent on the "producers" and what they like, so sadly there is going to be some bias.

Fixing the RTT time gave me my second row placement back on the first page. Tonight I've had had no glitches and people have been buying a lot of shows. I'm so happy and I really pray it stays this way. I was so damn stressed over the RTT this summer.

I'm thinking about starting up on streamate again in a few days. I wanted to put it off bc of my body buuut I really need the cash. Like fucking bad. Lol so be it.
Anyways, I know a bit about streamate (because i was a model on iCamzLive at one point in time, for a couple months) so I know about the whole block session ordeal.. Never once had one... I'm assuming customers don't even do them often?? :listen2:
Staples
09-09-2016, 01:14 AM
I actually get at least a couple block sessions a week. Not tons but I do get them. I'm not sure on tips for getting them. One of the things I do is that I only offer anal in block sessions and my guys do like anal so my rule is you either by a block session and get a full 15 minutes of anal OR I won't start anal until you've been in a regular session with me for at least 15 minutes. (I don't make them do exclusive blocks, it can be premium or exclusive I don't care I jsut have to be guaranteed at least 15 minutes worth of money to do it)
You may pick something guys like and mark as block sessions only.
Oh! I also offer one of my boy/girl videos to anyone who buys a block session.
Like I said, I don't get tons (I'm not sure anyone does) but those are the things I do.
DeepThoughts
09-09-2016, 01:22 AM
There is no trick, magic spell or animal sacrifice that will bring you more sessions. If you want to make money you need to put in time, pay attention to your clients and learn to sell yourself. You cant just Moon light on SM and suddenly have all the cash to pay off your bills, its a real job....
avalon_rose
09-09-2016, 05:43 AM
I've had a few block sessions. I dont really do anything special or advertise to make it happen. But I do only offer like the 30 min and 60 minute ones. Most of the time they'll stay past the block session time, too. The only thing about that is that after the time for the block session is up they still get the discounted rate.
I haven't yet had it be a problem. I'm pretty cool with it especially if we've spent an hour together already in exclusive.
So ya, nothing special. Just opting into it and continuing to do my regular thang. :)

I have a few guys that only like block sessions. I didn't have to mention it, they just see it and go for it. I only offer 15 min blocks. The guys who like blocks, a lot of times go over. And I'd rather they go over with the 15 min (at that discount) AND don't start anything/nude or play until 3 min have passed. (FYI) I have a few guys who routinely go over 8 min in a regular private or exclusive, and if at all possible I tell them later, or message them that I offer blocks they may enjoy more.
Seems the block guys just like blocks. I'm not sure how easy it would be to convert. I do see some girls will offer anal in a block. Or squirting. Or as above mentioned (Staples) offering a video is a good idea.
DeepThoughts
09-09-2016, 08:36 AM
It just popped into my mind that I have seen some girls on SM with room topics that state that they ONLY do block sessions. I suppose you could try that! If you were offering a really good rate for your shows some guys might obey. You will of course have guys who try to take you prvt or excl so you will have to be quick to kick them out if they do!
Marina Starr
09-09-2016, 08:45 AM
I do it by simply telling them. I usually say 'Let's do that in 15 mins block' or 'That would require a 30 mins block'. You'll be surprised how many would actually do it.
