Not sure if to write this here or in the other thread but Streamate , if you can start to listen, lots of us seem to love the extra %. Please do these " bonuses" more often, also please do them during normal days, not just holidays and weekends so more models can have a chance to participate. Some of us have family duties we can not participate during weekends or holidays.

You probably won't see any bonuses until Wed or Thurs considering SM does their payroll on Weds. It usually takes them a few days to tally things up. It is 50% PLUS 35% after all, I'm sure they have a lot of sussing out to do.

Wait we get paid an extra 50% of what the customer paid? I thought we got an extra 50% of our calculated 35%?

I agree. I would love these contests to occur on regular days and not holidays. But, my guess is that SM knows that the holidays will be much slower than normal. So, they run these contests on the holidays so that more models will log on. It's incentive for us to log on and make that money. I was honestly tempted to log on on Sunday (so, their diabolical plan worked!) - but I was too busy with brunch and other Easter festivities.

I understand that they want to motivate models to log on. But when you can't , you can't. I think they should play fair, at least sometimes, and offer this stuff when everyone has a chance. IMO. :)

Oh, I get it. It's just business to them though. I don't think they are worried about when we are all available. They want to make up for lack of earnings on holidays. But, trust me, I get it. I agree 110% with you. I would love for theses contests to be on regular days. If this past one wasn't on Easter, I would have definitely logged in. :heartbeat

What I understood (and I see I'm right by my bonus) it would be whatever you made from clients the 16th-17th (non cammodels, gs, etc) multiplied by 0.50. So in total it would be 80-85% from those particular sales. 35% + 50% depending on if you make 30% or 35% of course.
I loved that I got an extra bonus of $40 because a cm link client dropped a guap on someone, lol.

Pinching myself. It did say 50 (FIFTY) percent? Right? Probably the most generous I've seen of SM in the two years I've been on...
Don't fool yourselves ladies, SM is not creating contests for us, they're building them to try to bring traffic to the site during times when there are very few customers expected. They check the algorithms and see that these days last year were dead, due to a holiday or tax day or whatever, so they offer us a contest or bonus to try to get us to work.
With that in mind, and such a generous offer, I took it as SM must have expected crickets throughout the site those days.
From what I've heard, those models who worked found out there was little traffic. I knew it was going to be dead, so I didn't sign on to work, but I did check how things were going. At noon ET there were less than 1000 models on SM! The only time I've ever seen less than 1k models online was when the site was hacked a few years ago.
Easter is a world wide family holiday. Plus it's Spring in the northern hemisphere, which means the weather is nicer, days are already getting longer. People aren't sitting inside watching TV as much. In general fewer guys are home jerking off like they are during the Fall/Winter holidays.
Ditto for the models.
Most models have family obligations on the big holidays, so few of us are working. THAT is why cam sites offer contests. To lure models to work on days when the site is expected to be slower than usual. Getting popular models to come on cam, even for an hour or two, may bring their guys in too.
Contests are all about bringing models in, which the site hopes will bring in their guys along with them.

I honestly don't care if Streamate did that contest for the models or not. Unfortunately I had a small window of opportunity where I could participate and that really bummed me out because the traffic was pretty eager. Of course they did it to meet their bottom line, that's what all of these companies do. But this time they chose to do things differently. I really hope that they continue to do more contest in this format going forward. It's good to mix things up. Maybe they could try rotating the high dollar contest with bonus days...and then add a third option as well. They need to work cammodel relations to be honest oh and the damn site :D

04-20-2017, 01:14 PM
Ok, I thought it's 50% x whatever I made on both days. The math isn't adding up (it's just under), so I contacted them. Did anyone else get a bonus that wasn't correct?

They're giving a placement boost to models who use the broadcaster, so I'd use that if you're able to.

I moved the broadcaster question over to the Streamate thread because all the info is right here. Also using google helps to do searches on the site: Stripperweb + Streamate broadcaster, stripperweb + smbroadcaster +placement etc

Other sites also have lower traffic so even at higher rate that doesn't mean anything. 80% rate at no traffic is still 0%, LOL.

Well to be fair there are dedicated threads for lots of sites filled with angst and complaints (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?207601-BongaCams-Official-CC-Thread-it-s-actually-not-that-bad!). Not just SM. They get talked about the most because there really isn't any other private based site to emerge as an overall contender. I think Cams has potential but they have a lot of crap to work out as well. I'd give them the award for the most improved but every damn time I want to hand it to them, someone gets hit with a charge back. Then there are the threads for skype shows. They have higher percentages but aren't without issues.

Most of us already know that the contest is SM's way of having us bring our own traffic. We discovered that way back. For those of us who don't do social media, it's not really a loss.
I knew traffic could be iffy (holidays sometimes are) so as soon as I found out about the contest I messaged my regs and previous paying clients letting them know I'd be available and I made great money that way.
Just because contests (when they're worth it like this past one) are low traffic days doesn't mean you can't make what you already have bank for you. I also found out from my regs that SM is back to texting them again when we're online.

Thanks to all who explained where to find the bonus added. Mine has been added and Im so happy. I LOVE these bonuses over the contests. I actually feel discouraged to work when its a contest but for these bonuses I want to stay logged on for every minute possible. More bonuses please Streamate!!!! <3

They have always paid me accurately and on time without fail and although their % payout is low I always make more money than anywhere else I've tried.

Girl I so did exactly this! Only went on twice by appointment only for some of my big spenders. Did block sessions two hours later I had made huge money and that wasnt even counting the bonus! So loved that contest!! Normally I would have taken the day off and not bothered but I couldnt pass it up!

I am still stubborn and use the encoder, no placement issues nor money decrease. I tried the smbroadcaster but I personally did not like to use it, also it did not increase traffic (so I assume it did not increase my placement neither)

As much as I hate SM at times and sometimes I really HATE it unfortunately I cannot deny that when just checking my earnings spreadsheet for the year so far they make up over 50% of my money. That makes me a little sad but obviously extremely happy. Yes the % on SM is low but the traffic when it is there are big spenders (not including freeloaders) who are used to high prices. I'll be sticking it out I reckon.
On the subject of the contest I was shocked at how many ladies fell for SM's ploy to get us online after the whole 'orthodox easter' debacle last year of the site basically emptying out for the entire day and saw that there were still under 1000 girls on at any one time so I hope it was profitable for you all. I stayed offline the whole weekend and stuffed my face at my mum's instead lol I didn't think about SM once, I don't jump online because they are dangling a carrot I get online for my shift as and when I feel like it, contest or no contest and there is always money to be made.

Why so condescending? Ploys and dangled carrots? I'm not even SM's biggest fan but that's a bit much. I didn't get to work nearly as long as I wanted to because I ran into tech issues, but I really wish I had. It was a bonus and lots of people made really great money that day. For some it probably helped them make up for lesser days. Keep that in mind.

I don't think what I said was condescending in the slightest as I didn't personally attack or address anyone in particular apart from SM. I don't believe the bonus was for the model's benefit and yes I believe it is a ploy by SM to get models to log onto their glitchy site for their (SM's) own selfish reasons of padding their bottom line. It is exactly the same during the other types of contests.
I'm sure lots of ladies did earn a fortune, I hope they did, but offering a higher % for one day is indeed 'dangling a carrot' to us and is an insult in my opinion. That doesn't mean I feel any animosity towards ladies who did get on that day I'm simply voicing my own frustrations with the site.
You yourself even mention tech issues in your post and we all know the site only works sometimes but not all that often, so offering a bigger percentage for the duration of the #smfix if it ever comes would be a bonus, not just one day because (in SM's mind at least) the site is likely to be slow on both the customers and models end.
Apologies to PGD and anyone else who may have been insulted or felt talked down to it was not my intention. I hope you all made bank and I am nothing but supportive and informative on this site as far as I see in previous posts.

It did appear as though you were talking down to those of us who chose to log in. Most of us know how this game is played and decide how and when we're going to participate. I get salty with the way camsites interact with us in general but I try really hard to be on the side of the models even when I'm disappointed. I can respect where you're coming from.

SM is not a charity, it's a business and of course their contests are 100% business decisions. Anyone who expects them to run contests offering extra $$$ solely out of the goodness of their hearts needs a reality check and I wish them good luck in finding ANY company that periodically gives away extra money to their employees solely for the sake of being nice. I know people who have vanilla jobs that periodically pay them bonuses and guess what determines the size of their bonus? How well they're doing and how valuable they are to the company. If they want a bigger bonus they gotta do more for the company. There is no charity, you don't get something for nothing.
I'm glad I took that 'evil carrot' they were dangling, I got a $150 bonus for my few hours of work.

IF you told him to sign up via cammodel link when he already has an account then that could get you suspended or banned! SM does read chat log.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for your reply. He asked me if he could sign up off site. He said that he would use a different card etc, which leaves the fact that his name would be the same, Idk how SM would deal with that, I mean there must members with the same names right? I'm 90% don't risk it, but it'd be nice to finally have someone from my cammodel link! So far spreading my cam link has been a waste of time :(

04-24-2017, 05:42 AM
^^ Im pretty sure it wont work. I think they go by IP address so your not gonna get the extra % even if he opens a new account. Ive had many a client that opened accounts after coming straight from my cammodels link and I didnt get the percentage. When I called Liz about it she told that if the guy had visited the Streamate or a while label at anytime before going there from my cammodels link then % went to the 1st affiliate that sent him so I assume its done by IP.

We should thank ourselves. SM is watching and we've all complained that we wanted a higher percentage and practically hated contests so they got smart and ran with our desires. They're shook.

I did very well with the bonus and it made me have more motivation to see how well i could do since it was on me to make what i could. I pushed myself and if i didnt put the effort in then it was just on me. Liked this way more than the other contests, hope they listen and continue with this type, i would definately do it again if i could dedicate the time during again.
