Got a question about the Top Spot Gold shows. I couldn't find the answer on here. The producer messages come through as a special pop-up window, but can you just talk to them if you need to say something to them? My set-up doesn't really allow me easy access to type anything. I just did my first one tonight and I just accepted the show and didn't really say anything to him, but I'm just wondering for the future. He told me what his name in the room was, but I wasn't sure if I was supposed to let on to the rest of the room that the producer was there.
Also, it reached the goal like a minute before the countdown expired, but it still was counting down, so that was still the free chat part right? There didn't seem to be any kind of option to start the show when it reached the goal, so I just waited out the last minute of the countdown and then the show timer started automatically.
Thanks so much!

I always talk to them! I have gained all sorts of insight into the top spot gold shows from information they have given me! Like if they offer me a show but the count down is just a few mins its because another model lost the show ie. had computer issues or suddenly logged off, and then they just hand it over to the next person who will take it!
but yes you can speak directly to them. You do not need to type and I always thank them as well.

Susie let me know if having higher prem works for you, i tested it but guys saw that price and then scarpered! I found having it the same price as exclusive didnt scare them completely, then if someone was stupid enough to click prem i still got the same $$

Just a heads up. Once on Saturday and again today I have had guys who tipped me but the tip didnt show up on the chat log! No sound and No tip but when I check the earnings its shows up. I also had one guy who tipped into my GS count down and his tip didnt add to the GS HOWEVER, after i cancelled it his $5 showed up on my earnings.
Everytime its been with guys who were tipping Euros or Pound Sterling so if you get a guy who is saying he tipped you make sure to check it on your earnings page before you assume he is just some asshat trying to get some free love!

Hay girl hayyy!
I wrote that thread four years ago and I'm in shock at how low I was RAISING my prices to! I just made $100 in an hour and my prices are 4.99/6.99, and going up again soon! I will never go lower than these prices. Ever again. I should update the thread tbh lol

Only if they have never spent on the site at all. Get them to tip 1g and the option appears

I openly talk out loud to the producers during my Top Spot countdowns. They respond through those pop-up messages. A few of them are chatty, but most of them just say "Thanks for accepting the show!" and leave it at that. I always say "Thank you producer!" after the offer, and tell my room that we have a guaranteed show. I edit my gold show topic to reflect that because more people end up tipping if they know it won't be cancelled.
You don't have control over when a Top Spot show starts. The producer sets the buy in amount, the duration, and the countdown time. It starts automatically when the countdown is up, regardless of if you hit the goal or not. If you hit the goal early before the countdown is up, then a pop up appears that shows that you have 90 seconds before it starts automatically.
Thanks!

A customer tried to go exclusive and it kicked him out. Is the site having a lot of glitches today?

I had it happen to me once today, we were in the middle of the session and it said (user left: reason: user must contact support.) Thankfully they came back later.

I am happy about this feature showing me "user must contact support" when they leave paid chat even i dont enable the messages "member entered/member left" in my settings cause i dont want my chatroom filled up with that). It means they have issues with their payments or reached daily limit; it's good to know why they left, approximately why i mean.

How long do they usually take? I only have one cheque coming because I went back to Payoneer but I thought it would only take a week at most. Apparently I was wrong.

I usually get them on Monday. Meaning .....checks are sent out on Thursday, and I get them the following Monday.
Other girls get them sooner, but that's the way its always been for me.

anyone familiar with this program? He kept trying to cut his cam on but this what showed up. Like ten times he tried. I asked him what program he was using but this guy doesnt talk much. I asked him if he was using some sort of software and that maybe he hadnt selected the webcam within the software. Anyone know what this is?

They have to message you first then you can send them the link to download or however you choose. Just don't write it out that they're paying you elsewhere.

Ahh bugger. My website url is on the videos and I didn't hide projectmaenad profile! Oh well. I got $15 gold for wheel spins but no one was interested in my new pvt/exc rates so u guess it won't matter if they ban me lol.
Sally Says
11-17-2016, 02:34 AM
New rates take a few weeks to work for you on sm, I find each price rise attracts a different type of customer but it takes them a while to find you xx
^^^ Yes a significant rate increase especially when very new is indeed a difficult start & takes time especially when u not popular yet or have regulars, even for me with 6 years history on SM & many repeats & regulars/ semiregulars i know that if i increase my prices significantly these guys will not afford me anymore most probably so it'll take a good while to get new customers at the higher price & i really cant afford to wait as SM is my only site now & only income.
Not sure how lucrative is to start with very high rates as a new model?!
sexysusie
11-17-2016, 05:32 AM
They're not very high, I've gone to 6.99 exl and 9.69 pvt to exclude the peepers.
^^^ They are still on the high range and i know many guys dont even have the exclusive option because they are new on site or they dont pay attention to look at the exclusive fee to see it's cheaper, they see the 1st option in the list and get scared if too high for them and leave w.o looking at what else is there in the list. SM is really not like AW or any other site, if u used to high fees on AW for example does not mean it'll work automatically on SM from the very start, maybe for a model with regulars/ repeats that pvt/excl strategy is working but not when u try to build a following IMO. Just trying to help, i read above u had a 2nd better shift with lower fees and now they dont buy with the new/ swap fees so this might be why. x
sexysusie
11-17-2016, 06:54 AM
Lower fees than now but they were the same as I started with (5.99/5.99). I need to think up ways to get them tipping because they seem more willing to do that than go pvt. I asked for goldshows but they haven't responded lol. Thanks snowy, not meaning to be dismissive at all, all tips welcome. I just have no plans to train my guys to be cheap right from the start. 5.99 is only £1.65 to me which imo is not enough for my level of expertise and what I offer. I'm only really looking for an extra £20 ish an hour so I'll keep experimenting x
^^^ I get u susie, the biggest disadvantage for u british girls on SM is the exchange rate & low cut, it's just not very profitable to earn US dollars when living in the UK, i know this very well cause i lived there & i got less sterling pounds for my dollars, living here on mainland europe in my country the american dollar has a better value & i live better with the money i get for the dollars i make on SM.
Yes Gold shows could work better for you if u can do them, they can be very lucrative for some models, not me tho, i cant have success with them that's why i keep privates/ exclusives at a medium level so more members afford me, when u have gold shows u offer cheaper shows for some guys (cheap for them i mean, they pay few $ only for a show) and pvt/excl for the 'elite' let's say. Hope they enable the gold shows for u so u can try them, good luck :)

Most guys are not able to take us private today. Simple and plain. I've had the worst day in the whole month, and I've had three people telling me they're trying to go pvt, but just get a timeout error. One even told me he'd gone to technical help and they had just dismissed him. I'm logging out --nobody's got time for this.

Yeah I definitely got that sort of feeling as I had a few convo's which felt like they were on the way to producing $$ but then nothing. I've been reading this thread on and off for a while but only now I am on there myself am I seeing it as it is. WTF are streamate thinking of, seriously? Endless glitches and terrible traffic, are they doing it deliberately? :/
Do you still get the traffic boost wit the FMLE or has it got to be SMB?

As far as I can tell, you get the same boost with the FMLE as you would with the SMB (especially since the FMLE isn't in a state of fail half the time). I only use the FMLE at this point, and my placement is usually in the top 7-15 models, which is quite a bit higher than I think it ought to be given that I'm a serious slacker.
In my opinion and experience, using the FMLE instead of the SMB shouldn't drop your placement, but not being able to splitcam would make me VERY unhappy. Even if the FMLE is dropping my placement (which I doubt) it couldn't possibly be more than 2-3 positions, and splitcamming is 1000% worth it.

I've been wondering if glitches are happening because it makes no sense at all that I've struggled to make 2$ on there. Traffic has sucked but there's been a few guys that seemed like they were going to go pvt then they'd disappear and then keep coming into my room but leaving a couple seconds later like they're being booted. It's frustrating to not know if something technical is wrong because the stream seems fine on my end.
It's starting to feel like I'm just not meant to be on there.

Totally agree! If SM was what it used to be and I could make near enough what i make elsewhere then i'd definitely consider doing some exclusive hours there if only as an experiment. The way it stands though i just can't risk losing money for a site I only really want to make a bit of extra income on. In an ideal world I'd make it purely from indie rather than sitting in SM's pointless free chat but right now getting indie customers is proving really elusive for me lol.

I think SM is trying to make the site more compatible with mobile devices. My theory is that the fuzzy streams are the techs playing around with a resolution that will work across both ios and android platforms. And for some people that means they won't get to see a stream in HD. I played trouble shooting with some guys the other night and some said I was blurry and at the same time other guys said Nope I see you clearly. I think it's coming down to what device your using as well as the browser. Ive have a preset message telling guys on mobile to download puffin. That's probably the best mobile browser in regards to being able to see the entire page. I have a galaxy S5 and it works the best for me. I get a black box on Firefox. Chrome is meh. I may update my preset message to include Chrome as the best desktop browser to watch shows in. I know its annoying for some to have to do this but it works for me. I just login and try to make the most of whats left to work with. It can't be easy modifying a site in real time.

Susie how long has it been since you've been back on SM? I agree with MH it doesnt matter what encoder you use. As long as you use one and you will get a bump in placement. I rarely use the SM Broadcaster because they've programmed it to not detect splitcam software. I use OBS mainly. The other day I used two webcams. I'm gonna get this money no matter what :)
