Hey girls, just worked out the total charges for payoneer to send my money since the 29th of April 2016, has worked out at £826.62.......any other Uk girls have the same kind of numbers? It says $3.00 transfer fee, and then I emailed them awhile ago asking why they're taking more than $3.00, and they say that they take a percentage of every payment, so like 5 or 6, I can't remember. That fee is super high when you add it all up. I'm basically getting charged between £15 and £40 for every payment depending on how much I've made.
What I do is I look at my earnings on SM, convert it using a historical exchange rate calculator, and then minus that figure to the figure that I actually got paid, and count that as the transaction fee, this sounds right...right? :O
My last payment amount from SM was $160.24. Payoneer/first choice says there is a $3 load fee plus 2.75% 'conversion fee' of the whole amount from usd to gbp. So that equates to them taking $7.41. The exchange rate on that day was 0.80 so the £122.38 that I got was right. But yes that's very expensive. 2.75% of each and every payment PLUS a $3 fee is painful :(
Cheques take a ridiculously long time i'm loathe to use them. On Niteflirt it took usually up to 3 months from payment to actually getting the money in my bank! Anyone give an accurate time for cheques from SM to actually be available in your UK bank?

YES! Same thing happened to me. I had it for 3 weeks! I feel like it is just another way so they can control things. Now I can't check my stream very easily because I have geoblocking on. Of course, they would love for us to have that feature OFF.
You could set up a customer account with a prepaid credit card so they don't have your actual name or address. It works for me. 😃

LizzyMe, forgot to quote:) Nothing fancy,I use a proxy on a separate laptop and just check my room as a guest or just stay there my entire shift.
No proxy needed when checking myself from my site linked with SM. That I can do from the same desktop.
No proxy needed for some affiliates sites as well.
When SM crashes for me as a guest, there s my cammodel link where I could check also. Sometimes one works and the other no, since the glitches. You know, I get those errors messages quite often lately saying this site can t be reached and so on. My members see the same from time to time and they get booted from the room.

Ya, but your IP is still the same. So, if they wanna know for sure, they can see your member ip matched to your performer ip, unless you use vpn/proxy. I don't think they would go that further though.

Yes that's true but I've had this customer account for probably a year and it hasn't gotten shut down on me.

I'm a non nude domme. How do I check my placement? On cam models?
If you don't have geoblock, you just go on Streamate and see where you are on the page. If you have geoblock, you might ask somebody to check it for you, but if you're new don't worry about placement, you're on "new girls" page.
I stream in the morning because that's when I'm alone. at night, I would have to type due to roommates. Do you ladies think it would be better to stream at night and type?
Try every shift. SM is international, there're customers from Australia with big wallets for whom nighttime is at the same time as you wake up. Mornings are fine for me personally, my fave shifts are 7-9am and 12-2pm EST, but your experience may be different. I've heard other girls say they hate the 12-2 shift and love the 9am-noon, which I can't stand.
But you do have to try every shift for at least a week to see if it works for you.

Ikr! I'm trying to work on my hustle too. if you're a non-nude fetish goddess, should you smile or should you have resting bitch face? Lol I do both and I'm not sure if I should appear somewhat friendly to get privates.
Some fucking guy just came in saying "show me your boobs and I'll take you to private". No hi or anything. and I said "I'll show them to you in private" and he left. Foh lol I hate freeloaders and the block button is quickly becoming my best friend lol
It's a sales job that starts way before they enter your room. A few threads to pay attention to that may help

Thank you for these threads! I trained sales people in a past life(need to resurrect that person). I TOTALLY understand the confusion of "should I be nice in public chat or be a bitch" when you are promoting yourself as a femdomme. I should have just had a tape recorder playing "No" over and over and over. I actually had a great time and most guys were cool. Just need to get better at enticing them into my spider webb and emptying their wallets(not just their load).

When do you start getting 35%? When you no longer have the new camgirl status? Is that like two weeks? I remember reading that somewhere a while ago but I can't find that thread/info
you start at 35% and it stays at 35%

If u getting 30% now u'll not get more than that, i assume u in a non-western country and we are paid 30% (second tier). This is how SM does things with certain nationals .......

I get 30% because I'm with a studio. BUT, my rep is AMAZING. I don't mind paying the extra % because he answers me promptly and is a HUGE help. Knowing that I can fully depend on him is definitely worth it.
^^^ Guess here we have a misunderstanding situation?!
From whom u expect to get 35%? If SM pays 35% and ur rep keeps 5% i assume, what do u expect to get paid later on & from whom?
It does not make sense to me but maybe i dont understand ur logic?!?

You have to contact support and ask them to change it for you. If your payoneer or other payment method is linked to your email address, make sure to mention that, because it's important that they keep your payment method attached to your account.

What do you ladies do on cam when no one is in the room? I noticed the countdown and record button and it seems to pop off every minute or so...is that so guys preview our show before entering our room? I'm so bored when no one enters so maybe guys see my bored face before they even enter my room?
Yeah, they can hover on your room and see what you're doing before coming into the room. The countdown thing is actually for the snapshot (when you don't have a static profile photo), but they can and do watch you from outside the room.
When there's nobody in the room at all, and I'm not too tired, I'll talk to an imaginary viewer. If I'm too tired to invent shit, I split cam with freechat on AW, because those freeloaders are very chatty and help keep my face from "looking like a passport photo" as Katy Boleyn calls it.

Hahah thank you. When I signed up before I got approved, i checked the option to just have a static photo. After I got approved, I don't see on my dashboard that I can change it. Where could I find it? And HOW can they watch me if they aren't in the room with me and I have a static photo?
Signed in customers can use their mouse to hover over your picture and then your chatroom is shown. Also anyone logged in or not can see in you in free chat. Theres always someone watching. To change your bio pic should be the very first thing you see when you log in. Right in the center column under My Profile is a box with your current bio pic. Click the Blue link that says Change Biopic. This takes you to a new page where you can either upload a new pic or use an existing pic that's already approved. In order to change back and forth between static or live stills you have to email support.

Green members are members that have joined your member site that you have linked to Streamate. It means they are viewing your room from that site. If you do not have a personal members only website connected to Streamate then it's someone who is using a hacked back door to the site. They can't hack into your private shows unless you have the external show set to "on" so don't stress about it.

This means someone signed up using your cammodels link and is spending money. You get an extra 40% when they spend on you and 20% when they spend on another model.

I've seen green guests and members too when linking my site to SM. The members are coming from me because I tested the feature but guests can t be. Asked my country rep what s with the guests appearing in my external shows on and she said they are guys coming from affiliate sites.
I know for sure they re guys checking the backdoors cause they only appeared in external shows (the green guests, not the green Members I mean).

TTM stands for talk to me its a phone sex platform. I honestly dont know what ACH means but its the service that most ppl call bank direct deposits. This is the check chasing app i was using to put my money into my paypal account https://www.ingomoney.com/
Thanks for the link, but that's a HUGE fee. $5, so unless your check is HUGE, that's a lot.
Why wouldn't someone just use mobile banking to deposit their check?
I guess it's a last minute option :)

So I have done two private shows, and I can tell when it's in paid chat in the red box vs the gray one. I have had two guys back to back come into guest chat and tell me it's paid chat, that they clicked paid and asking for a show. They are saying they are losing money. They are obviously trying to scam me right? I can't imagine that being a glitch.

^If they aren't in the paid chat box, assume that you aren't in paid chat. They are most likely scamming you. There might be a glitch, but you certainly shouldn't bet on it! Either way, don't do private performances unless SM shows that you're in paid chat ON YOUR END.
If you want to play nice, just tell the guys that there must be some sort of glitch because it still shows you as being in free chat. Tell them to contact customer support to report the glitch and any funds that they lost as a result.
If the site is having problems (whether real or not), and customers insist that you "make it up to them" for free in public chat, they are either idiots or scammers. The answer to site problems is always to contact customer service or tech support.

Exactly what Magical said.
Don't ever feel bad either. When I first started, I had a number of these types so I decided fuck the free chat box and don't reply unless they at least have a member account.

Hello Ladies!
I hope you can help me...
(Sorry, English is not my native language, but I'm trying to improve it.)
I'm new into camming and decided to try streamate, but they're rejecting me because of my adress. My main residence is in Paraguay, but I'm in Greece now (vacation for a few months) and want to stream from there.
At first I gave them the adress of my main residence in Paraguay - rejected.
Then I gave them a German adress (I'm a native German with a German passport) - rejected.
Then I gave them the adress in Greece from where I'm streaming - rejected.
They asked me to explain from where I'm streaming. So I wrote to the support and explained what's going on. They answered ("We notated your account."), but rejected it again a few hours later - and wrote me again to explain where I'm streaming from. I wrote again, received the same answer again and they rejected again. I think they didn't read my answers.
Is there anything I can do?
And how is it with travelling to different countries in gerneral? I cannot stream from Paraguay, because the internet there is a joke. So I can only stream during my visits in Europe at different places. Seems to be a big problem...
Thank you for reading it!
Greetings

You maybe able to use the built-in web broadcaster but your feed will probably still have issues. If you have a cell phone with 4g, have decent service in your area and are able to get a plan with unlimited data you can use that as your router. If you are able to do that then you'll be able to use the encoder or broadcaster.

I had a question about the inbuilt player vs the encoder.
I seem to have to compromise either feed quality or placement. I've tried both the encoders (my computer is fast enough to use them in regular HD, so that's not the isse I don't think), but the feed is never very good. I know a lot of you have issues with the encoders, but I had a look at the girls at the top of the first page, and they're all crystal clear..and I am assuming using one of the encoders? When I use the inbuilt SM player on the site in HD my feed is clear, but the issue is then that I seem to basically be invisible and have hardly anyone come in as from what I can see I have very poor placement when using it.
Do I need to accept that something needs compromised? Eeesh.
I just want to at least give it a go before saying this site isn't going to work for me..
Thanks ladies. X

I'm using a new i7 HP which seems to be running my other sites really well. My upload speed is 12.15 MBPS. It's the best internet available in my area, but maybe it's just not enough for SM? I know a lot of girls in the UK seem to have this issue too.
