I KNOW RIGHT?!?! I was like "Uhhh...how about no." haha.
I mean, I didn't even see this cat enter my room! Then he says that shit and insta-leaves.
I didn't think it was real, seeing as if this were an actual feature, prettyyyy sure there would be a site wide announcement, and not some rando coming into chat to make an "announcement"

Just thought this would be an interesting share haha

~New(ish) to SM so I am clueless as to if this is real or not~

This is a con. Don't do it. No legit person from SM will ever contact you to tell you to turn on external show. However Streamate is aware of this backdoor and has done nothing to fix it. But still don't do it.

Hah! Knew it. Some people are just so sad. One would think/hope SM would fix it, but not holding my breath.
Just glad I was super cautious about it and didn't fall for anything stupid.
Bullshit like this needs to be exposed.
Thank you so much for clarification <3

Literally wondering the same thing, seeing as if people can scam free shows, then the site itself is also getting scammed out of money -- which would lead you to think they would do something about it

It doesn't matter if you hit your goal before the countdown or during the show. You should only get the remaining compensation from the producer if you didn't hit your goal by the end of the show.

Thank you so much. I thought I was right. Although another strange thing happened during the show too Producer_X offered the show and I accepted/thanked etc. the countdown commenced, I got half the goal and started the show, then the generous man tipped in the rest - but about half way through the show Producer_X left and Producer_Y entered instead. I remember thinking it was a different one. So it is possible that Producer_X simply forgot that the generous man had got me to the goal when they were paying out compensations maybe? Either way a very strange TS and I haven't had one in forever so it just confused me to be honest. I will see it as a happy bonus this time.

The external feature is for people who have a member's only website connected to Streamate. So, since my site is connected if I activate "external show" it immediately sticks me in Private Chat on Streamate and members from my site can view my Private chat room for free. So if I'm putting on a show for my site members then Streamate members can enter for my private chat rate. This backdoor allows hackers to view for free without paying through SM or through my member's site.

I sometimes use it for GS. When your in party chat and you start a gold show there is a small check box at the top of the GS description box and if I check it then my members can watch the GS for free. If I have a member in my room I always quiz him before I turn on the external option though to make sure he is actually a member.

Although these last few weeks its rare to get a GS going cause traffic is so low so many of them just log on directly to SM and tip into the show :D

But if you have a website is a nice little extra to offer your members although I would never offer them a free private! GS is the most they get.

Anyone ever think that they're so good at what they do that they should be charging much more than what they currently are. BUT their current rates are highly competitive for such a good quality show that they stay busy and rarely have time in free chat and make bank? But then wonder how much bank they would be making if they raised those rates? That's me today, stuck wondering.

I did actually raise my rates the other week by a dollar each, but I didn't feel as busy, I felt like people were coming in and out but not spending. So I moved them back to where they were before and can easily make 200-600 a day. But then I wonder, a one or two dollar increase, could have the potential to double those figures IF I stayed as busy as I was on the rates I have now.

Dilemmas!

Maybe regulars would not like the price increase but don't forget that new members have no idea what your prices used to be.

You will get less shows and feel slower, but make the same amount or more. Less work for your holes imo.

Nope I never wonder that cause I keep my rates high no matter what. You'll be moving into a different set of customers so just like when you started with your current rates, it'll take a little time to build up some regulars. Just stick with it and know what in the end you'll be making more. It's a good time to split cam and use other sites so you're not relying on just one and obsessing over it :D

I need to raise my rates and I've searched a few threads but can't find anything dated recently. Do we still email [email protected] or the web support? Thanks x

2) the site is glitching like mad and theyre getting disconnected or its making ur feed fuck up so they leave

This is the 3rd year SM has held my money saying my tax forms were returned because of my address. My address hasnt changed in 3 years. Someone in accounting doesn't know how to read addresses correctly and it's getting tiresome. They better pay me on Friday, too. I emailed Liz and made sure to attach this month's cell phone bill with the same address on the damn account.

No, this has always happened, it's just worse on certain days & moreso recently, plus now SM tells you why the guy left. It says bad connection when they have one.

Now whether we can trust those messages I have no idea LOL, but they added that feature in a few months back.

I'd say it's more the #1, but it's driving me INSANE :(

Thanks :)

Another example of SM & how poorly coded & designed their site is:

You should NEVER EVER allow users to pick the same user name.

So every time I ask them to ban people, I get the same BS excuse that they can't b/c there's too many with those names. They say that even when they are NOT common names.

Now they are telling me that there's a number next to the user's name & I should give them that. I'm like WTF? Do you girls see any number next to their handle??? I sure as hell don't. :(

Tell me about it. I reached out to Liz who had to ask them twice before they agreed to pay me tomorrow but I really did not appreciate her telling me "since this keeps happening every year" that I should pay $120 out of my 35% just to get my money. Fuck that.
Um how about you tell payroll to double check addresses before placing holds on the day of payroll cut off? I literally have proof on this very thread around tax time how they supposedly send my forma and claim it was sent back. It's on this very same thread 2 others times. And yet they have no issues sending it the 2nd time and it reached me? Things that make you go hmmm.

When I did pay $30 for fedex they still stiffed me one time as they literally forgot to pay me, lol. Vanessa had to send me money via direct deposit that time.

Hit "PrtScr" when you have a real asshat like that then go to wordpad and hit paste. Gets the whole fuckin thing. I have one like that right now. What is it about some of these men? And I have had a really great experience so far, 95% of guys are nice, and sweet, and appreciative. But 5% is one in twenty LOL! And one in twenty is some kind of dick loser that needs therapy!

I had the same thing happen last year and the year before. I blamed my postman and got a PO Box this year. No issues getting it this time around.

I practically already have a p o box, lol. I live in a cul de sac and they stupidly built the mail boxes after all the condos were built so my mailbox is all the way on the other side of the parking lot. We even have a box for big packages where they leave a key in your box. And we all have keys to open our boxes for our msil with our nsme and address inside of the box.

Either way, it's annoying and the fact that I get all my other tax forms just fine from my other gigs makes me wonder what's up.

Has anyone used the Yeti Microphone while camming? I hate my mic on my webcam, and it would always cut the sound out when I play music from my laptop. Now when using the yeti it basically only picks up the music and no one can hear me. Does anyone know what settings I should have it on? I havent been able to play music in my room for over a year and I would really like to

I'm doing a test as I write this lol ( didn't want to give you bad info) I have my mic set to Cardioid. I'm using verysoft. I have youtube in one browser and the site on another. My very awesome guy can hear me just fine even as I blast the music. Make sure though that you mic is in front of your speakers or the monitor.

I use a Yeti Microphone while camming. I have mine set on Cardioid. Since the mic is adjustable, I tilt the mic towards me. I keep the gain in the middle and turn the volume all the way up. My speaker for my music is off to the side behind my mic. I cam about 4 feet away from it.

I figured it out. It was still picking up the cam mic because you have to switch the audio device in the actual streamate broadcaster. I had done so on my computer and by right clicking on the box where the SM broadcast logo is when you go to cam (where you would see yourself if you were using the in browser broadcast) and changing the settings there.. didnt do anything. you have to go in and change it in the actual SMB. I'm using stereo. I wish I could hear the difference between that and cartiod. Maybe i'll just have to bring myself up in a separate window and use headphones to listen..

Tell me about it. I reached out to Liz who had to ask them twice before they agreed to pay me tomorrow but I really did not appreciate her telling me "since this keeps happening every year" that I should pay $120 out of my 35% just to get my money. Fuck that.
Um how about you tell payroll to double check addresses before placing holds on the day of payroll cut off? I literally have proof on this very thread around tax time how they supposedly send my forma and claim it was sent back. It's on this very same thread 2 others times. And yet they have no issues sending it the 2nd time and it reached me? Things that make you go hmmm.

When I did pay $30 for fedex they still stiffed me one time as they literally forgot to pay me, lol. Vanessa had to send me money via direct deposit that time.

Why don't you just do direct deposit all the time? Unless it's cuz you don't want it to show up in your bank account :) I understand.

That's bizarre. Are you using support? I've had Liz block a guy with the username 'john' for me before and there's thousands of them.

Of course I do LOL.

Support is soooo stupid, they don't even know how the site is structured & that if guys just come in for 2 secs, there is NO WAY to block them. They are constantly telling me HOW to block someone as if I'm a moron & just started yesterday.

And when I send them a common name or one that is only marginally common, I get the same BS that they can't block it. Then they started asking me for a date, so I sent them dates. That still wasn't good enough, then they wanted the TIME the asshole was in the room. I sent them times. Now they won't even ban them saying they can't find them & they need the numbers.

They are lying & saying other girls send them the guys number. Do you guys see numbers???

In the last month I've come across several guys I had them banned that were NEVER banned even though they said they banned them. <sigh> Just came across another guy just now.

I'm ready to tear my hair out.

You gals do know that almost all cam sites use Romanians to do all their customer service right? Not that I've encountered any Americans on other cam sites that had a full deck either.

You can record a clip of just the audio with each setting and then play it back to see what each setting sounds like.

And the real number will be less because apparently SM pads the online models #...

Ya, they always increase the numbers and if you count the pages it gives you way less. And when swapping to page 2, few girls from the 1.st one will be shown there too which makes you double count them and the same for the rest of the pages. Anyway, girls, have a great day.

Another example of SM & how poorly coded & designed their site is:

You should NEVER EVER allow users to pick the same user name.

So every time I ask them to ban people, I get the same BS excuse that they can't b/c there's too many with those names. They say that even when they are NOT common names.

Now they are telling me that there's a number next to the user's name & I should give them that. I'm like WTF? Do you girls see any number next to their handle??? I sure as hell don't. :(
WhenI get these similar names I open their profile tab and GIVE them a number. Like Mike. I get 3,000 anonymous mikes. So I open tab and write down mikeooo1, mike 2000, mike 343434 or whatever. Then I can see how many times the same mike is coming into my room because I make notes ffor that too. Been in my room 6 times in the last few months and didn't go pvt? Banned. That way I'm not wasting my breath on guys that don't intend on tipping anyway.

I have always felt like the "force" me to be online longer than I want to be. Probably b/c they wouldn't have anyone online if we could just make our $$ and leave. I did this so I could make $$$ and have a life. Not so I could make $ and work a regular 40 hours. If they can ration your traffic, and my guess is they can then this is what I feel is going on. Because I have been there many times when it's "working right" and it's no problem to make $$$$.

Right, I don't use their profile, I use my own Excel file, but I can't even get to their profile b/c they are in & out of my room in less than a min. Before I even realize they never book, they are gone, unless there's a way to open their profile when they aren't in the room anymore, & can you ban from that profile once they are gone? I thought you can't which is why I have to keep contacting support which drives me insane.

But the numbers you mentioned are your own numbers right? Not numbers from their profile?

Thanks

I don't know, I get tons of guys coming into my room, but they never stay, so they aren't quality guys for me. Although, I'm a niche, which is why I make a ton less than you gals make. I was shocked to hear you guys can pull in $300 a shift. I'm lucky if I make $50-100 :(

I've also started to notice recently that there's more guys talking sex (I don't allow sex talk in my room unless they pay me gold or of course take me pvt) and/or expecting freebies than there have been since I started with SM 1.5 years ago :(

Because I shouldn't have to pay to receive my own money. Payoneer at the time was like $4 for DD, plus monthly and ATM fees, i was paying for wires but again, why should I be giving SM $160 A month for transfers? Paxum outside of their yearly fee is free. Also, I do my own DD once it gets on my paxum card by doing a credit card cash advance from my paxum card to my bank account, so I avoid atm fees with paxum too.

Don't make your notes in excel. Just the sm profile. Highlight the guy as soon as he comes in and then open it and make a note.Sure some guys are fast in and out but I catch them once in awhile. Also if you get someone coming in and think you might want to ban them just hit the ban button and it will ask do you want to. Stay with that window open until you decide yay or nay.You can't ban them after they leave unless they sent you an sm email. You can block from mail. Just open the profile. But that doesn't help with 99% of them.

Only SM will celebrate Women's Day by having a contest 'celebrating us' whilst asking us to work for 30-35% without at least a 10-15% day raise. LMFAO. NOPE.

I am sure this was mentioned before, but the search function kept telling me it was not. What is the official cut off time for a "workday" on Streamate?
Also what time zone would it be(EST,CST,etc)? On daily pay with Boleyn and wanted to know.

Also, if you are in the non-nude category, Streamate says that is the only category you can be in. When I went back to change, I didn't see any other categories to be in...like BBW,or Mature. Do they pull that from your description?

Many thanks. Starting on cam tomorrow and I am scared shitless!

And sorry ladies for being somewhat jumbled. I should not type anything before coffee!!!
