I understand. But I also do not understand. If what you say is true then what to think when other models say congrats, good for you and so on. Does this mean its all fake? I mean who to believe anymore? Also I think we almost know who are most the models who are anonymous. I believe its pretty obvious. It's the same models who are top rows,who work all the time or who have best traffic etc etc etc
No it doesn't mean its all fake. Not everyone is the same. Some people will congratulate but not everyone will. Just like there are nice people there are also mean and vengeful people. Not everyone is going to be nice and cheer another person on who is doing well or better. There are people who get jealous and will want to tear another down. Just because you read some people being nice and supportive doesn't mean everyone is like that. Again people aren't all the same.
Sure we can guess who some of the anonymous winners are but we can't guess all of them. The winners aren't always the top models of the site. It would be impossible to guess who all of the anonymous winners are since there are so many models on the site. Also just because we may be able to guess who some of the models are doesn't mean that people shouldn't have the right to go anonymous. If the winners don't want to be known they should have that right.

Just put in my application for SM. 3rd time around haha. I have up last time ecause I just couldn't get traffic, it was D-E-A-D-Sville! However I've just started out with my first whitelabel and thought it'd be better for me to be a model there myself so I can send guys to what is effectively 'me' on cam rather than just some random camsite. I'm going to make some short vids for promo and wondering if any other ladies want to swap content for advertising (tube sites, XVideos, whitelabel blog etc)? Hit me up if you'd be interested in this x

Today I couldnt start a GS because there was something in my topic that was "not allowed". Through the process of elimination I discovered its the word High or Highest (as in High tipper). Once I modified that it allows the show. Just a heads up.

I've been camming on SM for about two months and I seem to have a hard time getting anyone to rate me. I've gotten some ratings, but most of them don't rate at all. Even the ones who stick around, thank me for the show, and say how great it was don't leave a rating. Of course, I had one guy give me a 4 star rating which dropped me from the excellent I finally built up to back down to just good and now I can't get enough ratings to bring it back up to excellent. I also have no comments whatsoever. Right after I first started, a guy came back in after the private and tell me he left a comment and even typed out the whole comment he supposedly left to me in free chat since he said it would take a while to show up for me to see. It never showed up, so I guess he didn't actually leave it. It was just weird that he typed this whole thing out for me. I have only three tags as well. I've looked at other models profiles and they have a ton of comments and tags. I know they probably have been doing this longer than me, but still...
Maybe because I've only been working very part time, like 5 to 10 hours a week? Trying to get that up to 20-25, but life just seems to get in the way. I do have over 300 who have favorited me. Not sure if that is decent or not for 2 months. Sorry if this is coming off as a very needy whiny post. I'm just getting a little discouraged. This forum has been such a great find for me. I have learned so much from you beautiful ladies. So thank you for that, you all are truly awesome!

You will get the guys to comment and rate with time, even now ive been doing it for almost 10 yrs and i would say only a few out of my night rate and i ask every single one to they say they will but just dont. So it isnt just you so dont get discouraged. Just keep doing what youre doing and asking and it will build up over time. The more you make yourself available the more regulars you will build overtime and those are the ones who i can depend on to rate me for sure the ones who always do. Youll get back to excellent on the ratings with just a few guys to help out i know it seems like it takes forever but worth it when you do. Hope you do well, and good luck with camming. Also youre doing good with the favs so dont worry about that those will build as well. :)

don't take the lack of ratings and comments too personally, for them to get a rating screen they have to click on the button to 'end show', but most of them just close the window and hence they don't even KNOW they can comment or rate a model, or how. I get enough ratings but very few comments, and I've also wondered how to make it better. I has helped me to explicitly ASK them to rate and comment if they enjoyed the show, they still won't all of them do it, but you'll see they start to trickle in!

Glad SM is offering Paxum now for a payment method. When first setting up paxum they weren't my fav (took me over a month to get my card) but fuck payoneer for their $5 instant loads to get my hard earned money. I'm welcoming paxum payments with open arms.
Yep, and it saves me having to keep 2 cards. Payoneer for SM and Paxum for all the other sites. Paxum is more professional all around, and they have a good message service for customer support - I've been using Paxum for 3 years and have no complaints.
You need to remember to transfer credit to your MasterCard when you are paid. It can only be transferred one way.

Thank you! I thought the ratings screen automatically popped up for them, but that makes sense that they just close the window and don't ever see it.

you have not reached their criteria (whatever that is, I do not know) to enable GS. Not sure how it is now, but a could of years ago I email support and had them enable it. If they come back and say you have not reached the criteria, I would ask them what you need to do.

Here's what it says on SM help to qualify for GS.....
Stream in HD (via the encoder or Sm broadcaster).
Stream with your audio enabled.
Average rating of 4.5 stars or higher
https://streamatehelp.com/qualify-for-more-options/
Sometimes they don't automatically enable GS even if you meet the requirements. I had to email support in order to have GS enabled.

3 hours on SM and a grand total of $2.64 haha. Literally 6 people came into my free chat the entire time. Is it my location (UK), or what? I'm not using the encoder but I do have HD, sound, offer phone, great lighting etc. GMT 9am - 12pm x

It's not you, it's SM.
I have a grand total of $7 I made a couple of weeks ago.
Exactly the same as you - good internet, cam etc and nothing.
It's a shame as they're shooting themselves in the foot, in my opinion as the requirements are just silly. I literally have no idea how other UK girls do well on there. The encoder can do one, as far as I am concerned! The only reason I will connect again is so I didn't effectively give some bloke a free show and I can reach payout. I'll probably just have it on while on AW on another computer - make payout, and be done with it. xx

I meet all the requirements. I couldn't use the encoder though as i need to splitcam. As a new profile i have 4 stars and am on the 2nd page. My rate is as high as it will go 5.99 for both pvt and excl. Ahh well will split again later and hope for the best x

Exactly. There's a HUGE difference between traffic, and PAYING traffic.

One thing I did notice is when I opened up my own room to see how my feed looked, I couldn't hear my sound. Guys said my sound was working though and it was definitely switched on.

Hopefully Streamate will feel the pinch as well and make more effort to allow us to tweet our rooms. Lower the bandwidth used by the freeloaders. And put that towards getting spenders to the site.
It might be our jobs to convert the traffic however if they just sit and dont speak all damn day then what else can we do

I think the room is not even loading for them?! It takes at least 2-3 secs on a fast pc/device for the stream to load (keep in mind not all members have fast connection & pc's still) so when they leave right away means they did not even see or hear us, sometimes they leave in a split second, for sure this is either a tech issue on SM's side among other issues or is the user's fault for not being able to connect, we can never know actually but i suspect it's the site.
My last two shifts after election in USA were absolutely dead, i mean i 'missed' the freeloaders, when they are not present then u know there is a serious issue. Can also be the election effect where guys dont care to wank when they worried about their future u know... sheesh!

Hey everyone!
So, I've been cramming for about 3 moths and been making ok money. These last few weeks have been tough though and I, barely scraping by! Is this the same for veryone? It's worrying me as this is my only source of income. I'm on the first page normally 5th row so I would expect more traffic but sometimes I have 2 people in and all they do is ask me to lower prices or 'show tits bb'.
Does anyone have any tips or uplifting words in order for me to improve this slow spell, because right now I have zero motivation to log on when I just deal with cheap freeloaders all the time.
Does anyone lower their prices when it is quiet? I was thinking of doing this but the thought of only make 20p a minute isn't far too depressing lol.

what were you doing before you started camming ? whatever ur doing its working for you imo . 3 months and ur locked in on the first half of the home page ? i noticed things took a dive for me about two weeks ago i was easily making 60-100 a day in a few hours . this week ive only worked wed thursday and today and ive been working from the moment i wake up to just before i lay down and its been like pulling teeth to get shows all day long and today its deader then dead from veterans day . plus im going to be limited on the positions i can do because my roommate is working on a chest tattoo for me. i already had to turn down an exclusive anal show because i cant bend that way right now without it feeling like a pack of bumble bees are going at my chest and thats just the lining he did last night so yeah ... (not looking forward to that shading needle next week)
the only thing i can say is push it out as long as you can you never know when youll get a burst of traffic or a super long show as far as lowering ur rates that depends on you cant go up and down with ur rates too much because it causes problems with getting steady regs so if ur going to drop them drop them for the long haul . you cant just be all like o ive two slow weeks lets drop my rates a dollar two weeks later o im doing good again lets push it back up . u run the risk of yoyoing with ur rates because ull constantly have an influx of new ppl and eventually theyll catch on u drop them every so often so theyll just price hunt u and only get shows when ur rates are lower.

Snowy0Star - thank You for your reply, you've put me at ease! I logged on tonight for 3 hours and made $10! My worse ever day. A few weeks back I was getting £100-£150 in 4-5 hours. Which I was happy with!
I used to work in a shop and I've never done anything like this before, I do enjoy it. I love my regs, but recently I'm just like urgh, meh every time I log on because it's so dead. I honestly don't know how I've made it onto the first page because I only really offer vanilla stuff and I wouldn't say I was super hot or offer anything really interesting lol!!
I'd really like to do the odd goldshow too as I feel like this would help me on my quiet times but they haven't activated it even though I've asked
I know it's been a big week for America and I'd say most of my custies come from there so maybe that could be the reason it's so slow.
I guess I'll have to suck it up and put in all those extra hours!! Xxx

If you read around this forum you will notice that quite a few ladies are having a rough time right now. You could also peep in models rooms in which you may notice that quite a few are in freechat for a while and room #'s are low compared to prior weeks. Advice??? If SM is your only source of income add more sources as its not good to depend on 1 site or 1 source. Read the stickies on the first page, promote yourself, put more eggs in your basket and just keep hustling through the slow period. Here are a few good threads to check out>>>Promoting Yourself/Advertising/Getting More Traffic 101 (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?175218-Splitcam-Guide-for-newbies) | More Eggs, More Baskets Challenge (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?187653-More-Eggs-More-Baskets-Challenge) | Maximize Your Earnings (EGGS X 10) (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?205013-Maximize-Your-Earnings-(EGGS-X-10)) | Splitcam Guide for newbies (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?175218-Splitcam-Guide-for-newbies)
For me lowering my price never really works. I don't get more shows nor do I make more money when I lower my prices instead when I do get shows I make less because I decided to lower my price, which in the end makes me feel like shit because I think about what I would've made if I didn't lower my price.
