I find SM exhausting and don't split for the same reasons they require ALL my attention the whole time i'm in free i'm chatting smiling and keeping things moving the minute I don't they are gone. It took a long time for me to pick up a lot of people to be honest and they are faddy I get some loving me for about three weeks spending big then they go. Long term AW type regs seem hard to come by. I think that there is money there and to be had. Normally I average $50 per hour which i'm happy with over the week. Its hard graft though to get it.

I think its a bit of a beast of its own to be honest. AW free to me just requires me to sit and custies come in this I have to graft for but maybe that is just me.

This is what i need, thank you so much for taking the time to write this! :) i have done some research... i don't really know why takes me so much, i guess i am kinda slow lol, i am also tired of anal now, it used not to bother me, but now, i kinda want to preserve that maybe for skype bookings and charge double of what i am charging now if they want it. I will also up the price on SM.


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.

Yeah, I've got to agree with DeepThoughts. I hope 2-3 hours is your entire preparation routine, like shower, makeup, etc. In that case, it's somewhat understandable. However, if you're spending more than 15 minutes (10 minutes with practice) on anal prep, that's too long.

I know it's a messy subject, and I don't want to blast anyone with TMI, but Nina Hartley gives a great step-by-step cleaning guide in her book. If people want it, I can post it. I can also vouch for it being sufficiently effective.

MsJess
12-01-2016, 11:18 PM
Maybe i should have been more specific, YES! my entire prep routine is 2-3 hours, but anal takes 1 hour!! i use a small device, idk if it's becouse of that! If you are pretty and kind enough to post about Nina Hartley's advice, i would really appreciate it! (probably yes i am doing something VERY wrong lol) I know it's a messy subject too so i didn't even wanted to start a thread hehe.

so i recently switched to the encoder, and now my laptop sound like its taking off :/

my laptop is i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz 4 Cores, 16gb ram and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M its alwyas been the noisiest laptop ive owned but come on!

task manager shows fmle is taking 26% is that right? then webcam splitter another 20% :/

eta: its always been noisy since i got it a few months ago, are there any settings i can change for the fan? or is that not advised?

A guy just booked a 30min block session and finished and logged off after less than 10. I was thinking of logging off but accepted it. Now I don't know if I need to stay logged on for another 2h instead of going to bed in case he returns, or if I can log off safely and not lose money. Please tell me soon I'm tired AF.

I just got approved for goldshows yay. I did a quick one yesterday and despite my sound not working it went well. I noticed that during the countdown I a) got triple the traffic I've been getting so far, and b) lots of guys were asking to go pvt. Asking for private was a little annoying since I've sat there since I started with almost nothing but tumbleweed, and NOW they want to play??! Anyways I guess I can forgive them since they probably havent actually seen me before. OK so I want to continue doing them as a way to drive traffic and get people interested in me long term. Is it overkill to offer multiple goldshows per day? I am thinking of doing 10 Minute tease/softcore with no pussy or penetration, for $100 which is basically what I did yesterday on my first one. Do you guys do this and if so do the guys get bored? Maybe I could spice it up with different outfits..

Also, why the extra traffic?

I don't see many models that offer only nude/tease show. That would be great for you and for the site culture if you are successful with them.

I made it clear in my gold show topic that it would be sexy Tease, lots of sensual movement, breast and ass worship, and blow job on a toy. I also said "come say hello & enjoy my very first goldshow". I think maybe it worked because they knew it was my first, so maybe that won't fly every time? Anyway there's no way I'd do anything hard-core in front of multiple guys for only £28 my cut. I'm happy to go full nude but no open leg or masturbation etc. A big part of my cam shows is my voice, sexy dirty talk, sensual descriptions - I can take up entire half hours with this and have guys cumming without ever taking any clothing off. I'd love to find a way of structuring gold shows around this. I shall experiment with different things and see what works x

My say something nice about Streamate is that their traffic, while weirdly sporadic and nonexistent probably 60% of the time, is also paying. I had lots of brand new customers this week.

I think you get a boost in traffic at least for the ones who know they only want to spend money on a GS and they filter it, thus moving you way up in rank.

We saw our numbers dip earlier tonight and were trying to figure it out. Model count is about half or even 1/4 what it should be on a Saturday night, for us and the site. Percent in paid was also about half where it should be (and less than half what its been all week). A few models still banked...so we're at a loss to explain it.

That being said, its picked up again in the last few hours and the numbers are slowly creeping back up.

Which webcam splitter are you using? 20% makes me think manycams. Verysoft uses normally 5% max.

And dont turn the fan down. The 6700hq is a very good cpu. Get a cool pad for it to help the cpu stay cool

Its 4 cores but it actually has 8threads. So its essentially a 8core cpu.

It might be worth de dusting the exhaust vent with a can of compressed air. but laptops do run hot compared to a desktop

Lol. Me and the hubbie are toying with a camgirl tech support service. Like $10 no fix no fee. we were half way through producing a YouTube TV channel but it quickly became chaos as there are so many routers and different types of pc to account for. The first episode was to show the differences between cat5 cat6 cat7 wires used on different routers like the isp free router and the aftermarket one. using vpn and the cost of speed etc.

The format got out of hand pretty quickly with fancy graphics.

The issue is me or hubbie can give advice on what the issue is but your never going to beat hubbie looking at the pc. So he can work out whats having an effect on what. He literally stares at the numbers on the process screen and works out whats going on then works out how to solve it like rainman as a few of you who has spoke while he fixes it knows he is a total loon while he solves a problem in his head.

The big issue in his head about offering a proper support service is if the girl cant afford $10. As he hates the idea of someone sitting there glitching when its a simple fix. As he swings more on the help people out side of things as its the difference between someone eating and not eating.

I just dont know if its a good idea or not.

Maybe it could be a suggested donation, and if people want to they could donate more to help out those who can't afford it?

Hi peeps,

Im sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere (already tried a search) but i was wondering once live on streamate will you be live on other cam sites such as cams.com, pornhub etc?

Some people say you are but dont specify - Ive also been told not to use internetmodelling but they have an advantage where your live on multiple sites at the same time although your only retaining 20% of your funds.

If the above is true about SM does that mean if already registered on cams.com etc means i cant register on SM? sorry really need some input.

Im currently camming on Adultwork.

Many thanks.

No, sexy kitten. cams.com and SM are two different sites. You need to register separately.

Girl stay away from internetmodelling pleaseeeeee, go to www.streamatemodels.com (http://www.streamatemodels.com) directly and register there, you will be having the same advantages, you will appear on thousands of affiliates sites at the same time and you will get 35% your cut!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) thanks.


Hi peeps,

Im sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere (already tried a search) but i was wondering once live on streamate will you be live on other cam sites such as cams.com, pornhub etc?

Some people say you are but dont specify - Ive also been told not to use internetmodelling but they have an advantage where your live on multiple sites at the same time although your only retaining 20% of your funds.

If the above is true about SM does that mean if already registered on cams.com etc means i cant register on SM? sorry really need some input.

Im currently camming on Adultwork.

Many thanks.

Stay the FUCK away from IM, (or ANY SM studio) they are the devil!

Ladies are top spot gold shows worth unchecking the guest free chat option for?

You don't have to read the guest free chat, you can just have it minimised. The issue with top spot gold shows is that they are the ones that go to the tube sites, so you have to decide whether the $ you get offered is fair compensation for that. (I may be wrong about that - would be happy to be corrected.)

My topspot shows are most of what I find on tube sites but I've also found privates and exclusives so nothing is off limits. Topspots just turn up more often.
I've been a camgirl for so long all my stuff is all over the place anyway, so it's hard for me to give a shit. Guys who are looking to fap for free aren't going to be convinced to pay so it's better they search out my content on tube sites than camp in my guest chat and get on every single one of my nerves.

I keep free chat collapsed. Topspot shows are worth it usually. The crowd can be insufferable but I get a lot of regs who convert to exclusives from them.

Thank you both. I might try one and see how it goes. Really not comfortable with my stuff all over tube sites but maybe I can keep my face off cam during full nudity

I can't start my chat? The green "start show " button is not working and neither is set topic. None of the buttons are clickable.

So every time lately that I have a guy whose c2c isn't working I ask him if he is using Chrome, they always are, I tell them to switch to Firefox and try again, they do and then it always works. I know Chrome is what's recommended but I always have better luck with Firefox.

I do so want to give SM another go as I like it. BUT I don't have an i7 and just can't decide whether it's worth investing in one just so I can start to split it with AW..ugh. I can't really afford one right now - I mean the plan is to get one anyway - but it feels like flogging a dead horse on there which I believe is partly to do with the poor quality of my stream. I have super fast internet, so the laptop is obviously holding me back. When I use my bf's laptop (i7) I stream in normal HD and its good quality but it seems slow almost all the time but ughh..I've never made so little on a site. I DID have some good vanilla regulars there so I am thinking it might be worth just investing in that laptop sooner rather than later, and spending more time on there so people can find me again.
I would use two laptops though, wouldnt let SM suck the quality of my feed when it's usually very quiet. I find the requirements exasperating.

I think phone stays good realtime even if there's a slight video lag. When I see videio lag it's not usually too bad and if I'm doing JOI I mention that to them.
I don't use speakerphone.
If the guy uses earphones it's usually enough to cut out the feedback for me.
My #1 recommendation is to make sure your outgoing voicemail on your phone does not give out your real name or phone number. As in Hi, you've reached Karen 555-555-5555. I have had a few guys get through to mine. I've also gotten through to some of theirs if they don't answer.

I use the phone feature almost everyday and usually with long block sessions, none of my custies have told me that i am lagging or out of sync.

Allways tell them to turn off their audio or speakers and to be patient.

I use my cellphone and it works perfect, the guy calls and it rings right away, never let it ring more than one time. Theres a machine voice after you answer that says "please wait while we try to conect you" and after 2-5 seconds you are connected with your customer.

If the call fails to go through, i tell them to try again, doesn't happen allways but sometimes when it happens they get angry and leave lol, so i explain them before going pvt to be patient and give it a min to connect, anyway is FREE phone! they are only paying for the private video feed.

I have never considered the idea of using speakerphone, i allways hold it with my hand, i am used to it and i guess they don't mind that either, maybe it helps for the fantasy of phone sex.





I have some questions about models who use the phone feature on SM. I have never offered it but I've been considering it lately, because I've had several guys turn on their cams and try to use their microphone audio. The only way that seems to work without there being enormous feedback is if we both wear headphones, so that we can't hear each other's voices echoing on the other's speakers. You can imagine it's a little awkward to strip and fap with my ears wired to the laptop, lol. (Although I just realized, maybe some bluetooth earbuds could be another solution.)

- When you use phone with someone, does it stay in sync with your video? It seems like the guys have at least a 2-5 second lag from the time they type (or speak) to me and the time they hear my verbal response. My audio and video is in sync, but the response time is several seconds behind, if that makes sense. I wonder if/how this would be affected by them using the phone.

- Do you put your phone on speakerphone so that you're not holding it up to your face the whole time? If so, isn't it weird that the guy can hear himself? Also curious how that works with the aforementioned lagging.

I might think of more questions later. Any other feedback/thoughts on the phone feature would be appreciated!

I like the phone and some guys really like it. I offer it in exclusive only. The only time I had an issue with it was during.....yes...Streamgate. So sorry to say that word (as I hang my head low) I would log offline..turn everything off and my phone would ring like 10 min AFTER I logged off and it was Streamate phone service. I figured it was that random exclusive guy still locked in the warp of a forever loading page....he's still out there somewhere I suppose waiting for the exclusive to load. Guys who go exclusive now and are stuck in that warp get a pop up that tells them "you are caught in a bad stream" Bad dream, sure...oh my phone is ringing now brb

I wonder how well a lil bluetooth device would work when doing phone? I HATE speakerphone and I need both hands while I'm, ahem, working. That's why I've never really considered offering phone, but I've been toying with the idea of raising my exclusive rates and that could definitely work as incentive.

Bluetooth works great. I don't offer phone but I did use a bluetooth headset years ago as my mic. It stayed connected during use and I never had any problems that I can remember. The only thing is that I had to remember to keep it charged. The only reason I stopped using it was because the headset and dongle broke. I got it for cheap on Walmart.com so it breaking was to be expected. I never got around to replacing it, mainly because I got back into the habit of using the mics that I had.
