That is NOT right! How is your stream? What's your internet upload speed? Streamate requires a lot when it comes to your stream so make sure it's smooth and clear.

I'm afraid it isn't just you. I'm also a new model, my prices are reasonably cheap (5 per minute) and I was almost 3 hours online for 2 days, and NO shows at all. Absolute 0.

Don't give up! I'm new too & got my first private just days ago after logging on for the third time.
Check all of your equipment to make sure it meets the requirements of SM - see: streamatehelp.com
It is also a good idea to double, if not, triple check

SM is fickle don't give up! I've been on SM for a year+ and I still have days where I make $0. You can't let it shake your confidence in your ability to hustle or you'll get stuck in a burnout. You can do it! If it gets to much ignore your chat and just relax, believe it or not I've gotten shows like that.

I'm really interested in doing Gold Shows so bad...they look like so much fun to wrangle up the guys & their wallets.
About how long did you take you ladies to get that option after starting on SM?
Marina Starr
09-21-2016, 05:34 PM
I got it within a week but for some it took days, weeks, months. You can message
[email protected] and ask her to enable GS for you.

Thank you. I'll do that after I get some more online time going on & at least a few more privates. I appreciate the response :)

There are some hard requirements you have to meet first to get GS enabled. You have to have a solid 5 stars, stream in HD (most people do), and chat in the Party Chat mode.

^^ also mandatory to allow free public chat, (worthless idiots that don't sign up with a cc). Thankfully, you can minimize that part of the chat and never ever look at it because most of them are mentally ill trolls.
Edited to add: actually, you only need to enable free chat if you want TOp Spot shows, if you don't want to be offered top spot you can still do gold shows without free chat, my bad.

Streamate isn't an easy site to make money on...and it doesn't help that everyone always gives advice to new girls to try Streamate. It's over saturated with models and it takes a long time to get a following there. It's super easy to get discouraged when you go a while without making any money, especially when you've been there a long time...but it happens. It's just one of those sites that you have to stick with and put in A LOT of hours in for it to make a difference. I've been there over 4 years and I still have days that I'm working 8+ hours to make my goal. It will pay off if you have the patience...but it's not an easy site to work. The only reason I stick with it is because I started out there and I just love the familiarity of the site and members.
So if it's a site that you like and you want it to work, just keep putting in hours and eventually you'll get a steady following...but that's just how any site works really. Good luck!!

Thank you so much!! I guess I needed to hear that right now. I really really get discouraged when I try something (whatever it is) a few times and nothing happens straight away (At any area of my life, not just camming). Something called anxiety you know...
But you're right, I will just keep giving the best of myself and a lot of effort and hopefully at some stage, it will pay off

This week on there has been kinda bad. Last night there were glitches and well, in general there are glitches. They hired way too many performers and when you have low traffic and 1800 performers on it can get kind slow. Keep trying and if it doesnt pick up try another site.

Give it a good two or three months before you decide if you want to stay there or not. Summer just ended and it usually picks up around now.

If your excited to do GS but are too new to be allowed to have them then why not offer something like tips for tricks ? I remember Jenny saying this is how GS got there start. She would ask guys to tip in an amount and then she would do something. So like say you take your tits out and suck them at $5. One guy could tip that or 5 at $1 could give it. You can do a blow job when you reach $10. You might have to keep it low if you dont have a lot of traffic but you would be surprised how many guys would pay for that!
Also if you can try moving around your hours to see when you have the most traffic! SM is a great site! You dont need 40 ppl in your room all the time you just need one whale to make your whole week!

hello miss anxiety. I thought I'd reply because I was you three years ago. Hang in there, keep on trying, like other ladies said, this is a marathon not a sprint. not all of us are lucky enough to have a good first shift, or week, or month. I think it took me like two weeks to make my first payout in SM. I got like two privates only my first week, probably earned 20 dollars.lol
aaaaaalso, I was an anxious mess and I couldn't manage to just. stay. on. and make a nice relaxed face! I guess this is difficult and you have to get practice at it, hence why it's good to just keep at it. so first, keep doing it. here are my other recommendations to get your ball rolling:
1. always ALWAYS be closing. I don't like chit chat. I don't sexy talk in free. after the first couple of introduction rounds, I start pushing to go paid: ready to get me naked now babe? wanna see how hot you're getting me babe? 3. let's go EXC so we can play C2C babe, I need to get off! etc. Some girls do enjoy chit chat and you use it if it relaxed you, but in general have a line of conversation that generally leads to PVT. this is useful when you have six guys in the room and you´re basically having the same conversation with all of them. and out of six, you can be almost certain that you can reel one in... and if it's a good day when one of them goes pvt, probably another three will follow. 2. don't do anything ever for free, just stick to your guns and ban beggars for pleasure. 3. Spam them to favorite you, rate you, comment, etc. This has really had good palpable results for me. Ask also for casual tips, sometimes they will just drop.
these are a few concrete things that I've changed and that I noticed changed things immediately. I know I was in complete panic mode, never knowing if I'd get a pvt or not that shift, until I implemented some of them, specially the closing one. guys wanna be sucked in. ;) and once u realize that, it's just developing a method, then lather rinse repeat with every guy that steps in, for the rest of your shift. boring and repetitive, yeah, but you only need to endure it. and some of the guys will fall and give you $$ ;).

Awwwww! Thank you, gorgeous!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
It really means a lot for me to read that!
I see exactly myself in your description! hahaha
I get VERY very frustrated when I don't see results straight away (in anything in my life)
But thank you so much!! Your words, example and tips just gave me a big boost to not give up and keep trying hard!!

I dont mind giving advice and helping people.... but try not to ask when my room is flooded and im clearly busy. Work conversations can change the atmosphere so fast. Wait til the end of a goldshow... or when im sitting there talking about off the wall shit please. Not when im hustling hard that very moment. If theres a ton of people and tips that minute, just wait until after that moment. Please and thank youuu. Or just message me here. Anywhere anytime when im not clearly busy. Its kind of rude. I say this in the nicest way possible. Dont take it wrong.. i helped today.... but still... ;)

Hi! I cammed for about a year on SM before and then took a break due to mental health issues. I'm returning now under a new name, and was approved to stream today but I won't be ready for at least another week or two. I know the new model status lasts 30 days(if I read the right information), but how important is it to start with that status? If I don't get on before the 30 days are up, will it be harder to get noticed on the site?
Thanks! :)

I thought sex acts like blow jobs and sucking nipples were not supposed to be done in free chat on SM. I see a lot of it though but I'm just wondering if it's actually against the rules or if they just overlook it.
I really wish we could go back to the days of guys having to pay to see any nudity and the freeloaders being locked out as we went to private. I guess that ship has sailed :(

I opened an SM account awhile back and could only stream two days during the 30 day new model status. After that time was up, my placement was on page 3-4 and next to nobody came in my room. I closed that account, opened a new one and worked regularly during the first 30 days and after it was done, I was on page 1.

How did you close it down and open a new one? Were you able to use the same name? I guess I pretty much need to get on there ASAP. I got a horrible hair cut yesterday and it's way too short, and I can't get a wig until next Friday... and then I'll have my period so I won't be able to do much but I guess I could always get on and do some shows anyway.. I'm just definitely not going on with this hair cut. :eek:

Ok so I have noticed I am absolutely having an issue with my placement on Streamate.
I literally work every day, at least a 2 hour shift, my paid chat time has been consistently 40% or above for the past month, I have gotten over 100 favorites since August 15th, nothing but 5 stars every shift, I have gotten more comments this past month than I have in a while, I stream with a 1080p Logitech cam in HD High all my shifts, and my rate per minute is the same as it always been. I've even been adding new profile pics and albums more than I usually do.
Somehow my placement is below other women who's profiles say they haven't been online since APRIL when I am offline, also when I am ONLINE I am never in the top 5 placement that I used to be in. I would usually be in the Top 3 in my category at all times, even when I would take weeks off at a time. I have seen new girls make a profile, not even stream in HD or have any comments, and their placement is ahead of mine.
WHAT IS GOING ON?????

I just checked, it says I am not streaming in HD or streaming with audio, which is NOT TRUE there are my stats:
Bitrate 706.23 - Good
Frames per second - 24.4 Good
Round Trip Time - 140 - excellent
Ratings- 4.96
Hours - Excellent
Widescreen yes
Hd - NO
Audio - NO
What the hell??
I have the highest internet speeds they offer in my area and I average round 50-60 Mbts. download and 15 upload
I downloaded the streamate encoder, omg this thing is so confusing to use
Marina Starr
09-24-2016, 04:33 PM
Streamate somehow cannot detect that you are using HD and audio so that will hurt your placement.
Honestly, if you are making money, I would not worry so much about placement. I love those Thai TS, they give zero fucks about placement lol!

09-24-2016, 04:39 PM
If I broadcast in the browser and not with the external SM software(encoder, broadcaster,) it always says I'm not using audio and HD when I am. It's been that way ever since like 2ish years ago, I wonder if it is a 'glitch' designed to force more girls into using the external software?

I just logged in to my account and contacted support that way, asking them to close the account. They sent a message to my email when it was done.
They won't let you use the exact same name but I just put an underscore symbol at the end of my performer name and that was fine.

Wait till you see the lady puking in a bucket in free chat. Or the chick who cams from a glory hole and beach, and pulls in strangers to suck and fuck...a lot of it is done in free chat.
On second thought thought, don't.
I've learned to stay in my own lane, and keep my head in the sand.
I can't compete with that.

^^I've had a cam twinsie rocket up the rankings by suddenly going full-on taboo bait in freechat. I can't even go in her room anymore, the squealing and plush toys and "who wants to be my daddy" is too cringey.
It would be easier to ignore if the pigs in my own room would stop pointing to her in a "so why don't YOU offer ageplay ya prude" context. Go see her then! Shoo!

OK so the Streamate RT bot on my twitter just picked up a post from real Streamate saying that he saw a Streamate TV advert on a plane. So has Streamate finally started advertising again?
It costs girls money to stream for Streamate as they demand more bandwidth which costs girls money than any other site so hopefully they are advertising again.

OMG I just saw that topic "pee puke fisting" along with "I'm on my period now you like girl on period?" and several rooms with full on pussy spreads going on. What the fuck is going on with streamate?? I mean if it's that easy for me to go to page 2 or 3 and see it? Free chat is really getting ugly
