Yea i agree with sweetie, use the new girl status to your advantage and work work work build those regulars because after the 30 days you will see a difference and a definate decline once the new status runs out unless you hustle hard and take advantage of that new girl status. Youre rates are fine, i would definately keep them at that so that if you choose to raise them later it wont shock them that much. But definately work the time you can while youre getting the increase in traffic it doesnt last long. Good luck with it.

I just read about the contest. It says my ranking as of now is 78. Does that mean I get some prize money? (:D) Or do you still have to be that rank when the contest ends?

Hey ladies! New here.
Could someone please explain to me the difference between premium/private & Exclusive? My Premium is $3.99 per/min, and Exc is $4.99 per/min.
And can guys turn on their own cams? And if so, how often do they normally do that? I feel i'd be awk trying to actually talk to them & hear their voice.
Thanks!
Read thru this thread as much as you can. A would guess that all your questions are answered here. I watched gold shows too to get an idea of privates and inched my rates up slowly over my first year until I found my sweet spot $6.99/$8.99
ALSO as far as C2C goes, if a guy takes you private and IMMEDIATELY tries to turn his cam on....wait a couple seconds and REJECT it. laugh and say, "oh I'm sorry, try again honey" 9 times outta 10 he just wants to flash you and leave.

Sooo many freeloaders tonight! Way more than usual. Lots more "Show ass bb" than usual too. What's going on? Anyone else having this issue?
(Also: Hi, I'm new on SW! I started camming on SM a few weeks ago and usually love it, lol.)

If you're getting a frenzy of traffic and requests, convert them to a sale. That's normal.

Thanks, I tried. I logged on again and the few guys who actually spent money made it worthwhile but it seemed like the freeloaders were out in full force. I danced for six years prior to this, so I definitely know how to hustle. My percentage of paid chat hasn't dipped this low since I started camming, so it was more than a little frustrating. I made my goal though :) even though it took forever! Here's to hoping tomorrow is more lucrative *raises a glass of wine*

The freeloaders are beginning to flock to you because you are building up an interest to people online. That's a good sign that your stream is growing. Your percentage and paid time will ebb and flow, so stay patient. <3

I remember reading here that if a client is new he cannot take you exclusive. Is this correct? Is only when he is new to the site or new to your room? Also can he tip in and then exclusive will be available or does he have to go prvt first to make exclusive available.
I looked on SM FAQ but I couldnt find the answer to this at all so please spoon feed me...... ;)

I think its when they're new to the site. They have to spend money first. And it may not appear until after they leave the room and reenter. Its not always easy trying to explain this. Sometimes they think I'm just being greedy and only out for the money. Cuz you know a woman wanting compensation is such a bad thing ;)

Thank you PGD! I also feel like I am just digging for more money but I just had a guy and I told him flat out that I wasnt sure and I knew it sounded like a trick to get more cash but thats how its done.
He just left. Bottom line is if they cant throw in a dollar to be able to see my Excl. rates then he was never going to be able to afford me any ways!
He just left. Bottom line is if they cant throw in a dollar to be able to see my Excl. rates then he was never going to be able to afford me any ways!
It's not just a dollar, from what i seen here, the total money he spends by giving a tip has to be AT LEAST the price for A MINUTE of ur private show fee, for example if i have $5/min he only gets to see the exclusive option when he spends $5 either in pvt or by giving a tip.
Also, he gets A NUMBER before his name in our rooms when he spends at least what i said above, if the guy gives a lower tip of 1,2,3 Gold or stays less than a min in pvt he will be charged still but he wont get that number 1 before his name; from my experience that guys had no exclusive option if they were totally new on site and spent less than my per min private fee.
Hope it makes sense ;)

11-26-2016, 10:04 AM
my guys tip in $5 for the goldshow and they get a 1 beside their name afterwards even though its less then one min. in my private chat. So now im wondering if $5 is enough. Ugh! so confusing! Im glad it doesnt come up often.
^^^ I am $5/min for Premium so who knows, maybe $5 is the magic number & enough to get the Exclusive option?!

When my customer account was brand new, I would have to click on "CLICK HERE to enter my private show" twice in order to see exclusive prices.
Now that I've perved on the ladies of streamate and tipped, I see both options on the first click.

Aha this train of thought might account for some of the idiots who bitch about my private price of 14.99 being too expensive and the fact that I have a whiteboard behind me stating that exclusive is cheaper at 9.99 escapes their notice or comprehension. They don't see an exclusive option. It might also explain why some guys will pay the private price and when I inform them exclusive is cheaper because I hate privates 50% of them leave and enter exclusive. It's possible the exclusive option was not shown to them to begin with or they were too lazy to look.
However I will never know for sure because as soon as they bitch I block, especially if they are bitching about the exclusive price.

As long as you're paying attention to your room and don't mention the other sites you're on its fine.
do you guys do it
Tons of us split with SM.
does it work for you well? :)
Yep and it seems to work well for many others as well. I stopped splitting for a few years and only worked SM. Once things started slowing down I starting splitting again, now I can't see myself only working one site again. Having the multiple streams of income even if at times its not alot is great to have. I said this before and will say it again... splitting saved my ass and sanity. I just wish SM had a forced private button(pretty sure they're the only site at this point that doesn't have a forced pvt). When I go into private on other sites and see people popping in and out while I'm on break on SM I just think about all the money I could've made if there was a forced private option.
^^^ The forced pvt button, yes that would be amazing but i think they simply wanna keep us away splitting, the SMB was made to make splitting impossible. Is indeed what THEY want but they should be aware we find our ways always if needed lol, nothing can stop a cam girl, not possible with SMB? no problem, we plug in another cam lol.
Sally Says
11-28-2016, 05:33 AM
well they made the site so we have to have a powerful computer, so most of us have machines happy to run two cams lol
as for splitting, if you use two separate cameras then you are not breaking sm rules, basically they own the stream you broadcast on sm, if you have a second camera then its a different stream and image, even if only slightly. Just make sure you know the rules inside out for BOTH sites. For example, on sm you can flash for cash but on AW there is a no free chat nudity rule, so either cover that cam when you flash (a post it note works well) or log out briefly, AW you dont have to do freechat you can just minimise it and it pops up when someone wants grop or private, so that site works well at the same time! On aw you can give out your twitter etc but not on SM so if someone asks on aw then type it if you are still logged in to sm

It used to make me feel awkward when they don't say anything.
But now since most are repeat customers, I just figure they're jerking off so hard looking at my gorgeous voluptuous body, that they CAN'T type anything.

Quick question! I finally took more pics of myself. I was going to watermark them with my cam name and my twitter handle (without mentioning twitter, just putting the handle on the pics) Anyone know if I'll get in trouble or banned for that? I don't want to put them up like that if it'll get me banned. Thanks!
Magical_Hoohah
11-29-2016, 03:19 PM
You definitely can't put them up with your twitter marked on them. Depending on who checks them, they might not even want your cam name on there. Just keep a copy that's edited with no watermark, just in case they reject the one with your name on it.

Guys are going to be demanding no matter what you offer. If you're comfortable with doing anal keep offering it but perhaps be more strategic about it like Marina suggested. I'd also incorporate some of the advice from "Ways To STALL and Make More Money... (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?150777-Ways-To-STALL-and-Make-More-Money)" like teasing, striptease, dirty talk, etc. You don't have to do every demand these guys bark nor do you have to do them right when they say it. I run my shows the way I want to. If a dude barks orders at me I will either stall and do it when I'm ready or I will completely ignore him since I am suppose to be putting on a show and not playing Simon says. I am not a robot or a dog, I do as I please.

Sometimes i start with a long long ass striptease, and probably 90% of the guys love it and at the end rate 5 stars, the other 10% are just assholes who want action right away, ima get rid of them geez

I used to do anal but I found most of the guys that wanted it, were bossy as fuck! There was a few that just let me do it at my own pace and in they way I enjoyed but they were the minority. I eventually stopped offering it. I do miss out on some money but that's ok.

Wow ok you need to be MUCH more assertive with these guys. It is YOUR show, that means you do what YOU want! They don't pay you to do every fucking thing they can think of getting a girl to do, they pay because they like spending time with you. That means YOU can control the show, every last minute of it. If you don't like anal stop offering it, if you do like it then do it how YOU want. And offering it doesn't mean you have to do it all the time, you can still say no. Or heck have it both ways and fake it. I would! Don't ever let guys think they can do what they like with you. It's a one way trip to burnoutsville and hating cam.

I have toyed with this but I do just fine without to be honest. Most people have something else and for the few I loose i'm not bothered.

It looks like you have already decided to not to anal. I dont think this is a major turn off for most guys. I charge a lot per min and I do offer anal and dp but most guys dont even want it. Try putting your price up a buck or two when you stop doing anal. It seems there is a direct co-relation between guys who have not a lot of money and guys who want the hardest core stuff they can get!
I wanted to say though that 2 to 3 hours!?!?!?!? Your not preparing yourself properly. It shouldnt take that long to prepare it. Now I know it a gross subject so I am not going to talk about how you should be doing it but I do suggest that you look up some information on google about "how to prepare for anal". Your going to most likely end up on gay male sites but the information they give is great. You shouldnt have to be cleaning yourself out completely so if part of you still wants to do it or for anyone else out there who takes this long to prepare take a moment to do some research about it and find out if your doing it wrong.

Hey ladies I think maybe there is something wrong with my stream or my profile but I am not sure what? All my rankings are 'excellent', I have 5 stars, and I'm still in the new period yet I have had 3 shifts in a row of 0 privates/exclusives. My first couple of shifts were ok, nothing to write home about, then I had a great shift, made $100 in one hour. That was 1 week ago and since then it's gone like this. I am on about row 3 when people click north america/uk/aus, my sound is on and my lighting is excellent. I have tried at different times (early morning, afternoon, evening, and very late night GMT). I am making money on my other sites so I really don't know what the issue is?
After I tried playing with my cam (logitech c922) i noticed the sound stopped working and now I can't get it back on. I'm using verysoft and no matter whether i select the c922, verysoft, default, or anything else it will not broadcast audio. Had enough fiddling with it so I have come off now, but if anyone can help with either issue I'd be greatful. Audio is working fine on aw and mfc. Please don't suggest using the encoder as I can't afford not to splitcam. Cheers x

It is just very hit and miss I think. I have been on a few years on and off and have excellent placement and regs. I go on the same time pretty much give or take and make regularly good money and its pretty even. The past few weeks I have had some really weird shifts yesterday I was stuck on $63 for four hours which has NEVER happened to me before. Today was great for an hour and a half and made my goal then the next two were rubbish. Since Trump/ Thanks giving for me its been off. September and October were good for me although August was a bit slower but normally I tend to even out. Lately very odd.
With the cam are you checking your stream? I had to really adjust the settings as I looked totally washed out. On the site I look normal now but on my end orange.
Audio wise I don't know but there is a glitch where it comes and goes I have to keep refreshing but I used the broadcaster.
DeepThoughts
12-01-2016, 10:35 AM
Okay for sound left click on the windows icon, bottom right hand corner of your screen and select Control Panel from the drop down list.
In Control panel select Hardware and Sound. Under the Sound selection click Manage Audio Devices
On the Sound pop up select the Recordings tab.
You will see your 922 listed here. Double click on it and select the levels tab
Make sure that that is up somewhere between 80 and 100.
For some stupid reason mine always gets reset to 0 and no one can hear me so that what I have to do to fix it. If that doesnt work then your going to have to contact support or ask someone else about verysoft cause I dont know how to adjust anything there.
As for clients you could ask to do gold shows. This is a great way to bring in lots of guys and give them a taste of what its all about but its just sort of slow on SM these days. If your splitting then you might need to put in more hours until you build up a client base and remember to ask everyone who comes in to add you to favorites cause this means they see you on top whenever they log it.

Horny maybe you;re right about the audio as it was fine one minute then just gone the next. I will try altering the hardware settings, thanks Deep. I've asked for gold shows but Liz said I need to wait to be offered them. Hoping it will be soon!

I am making money on my other sites so I really don't know what the issue is?
That in itself may be the issue - if you're always getting shows on your other sites, SM guys don't get enough time to catch you. Since I started splitting SM and AW, I've noticed I only get new custies on SM when AW is slow. Otherwise it's shows with regs or nothing at all. Whether it's because of splitting, or because SM really has gone down the tubes, is not entirely clear. When AW is hopping I don't even bother with SM any more, though I'd like to get out of that bad habit tbh.
