^^ I agree. If they ask me the percentage I tell them to open their own account. Its not like hidden information after all. When it comes to Skype I charge in Euros and I charge the same as I do in SM. I dont see why for one second they should get a discount because its Skype. I believe Im worth what Im worth regardless of the platform.
Also there are no charge backs on SM so I always always always send guys to SM first. I cant even believe how many morons ask for a Skype show on Twitter and when I direct them to SM they tell me "Oh they wont accept my credit card" or "I cannot because I still owe them money". My Favorite is "I dont have a credit card"! How the fuck are you gonna pay me your twat?!?!?! Like why the fuck am I gonna take a chance on your ass after you just admitted to being shady!
Oh, you mean you don't cam for fun and not charge? LOL!

I've heard that on SM you can programme your keys with stock phrases, but there's nothing in the Help files about it. Can someone tell me how it's possible please?
type the message you want as your set phrases into the guest chat chat box, as though you were typing to a client but do not press enter. Instead press the icon of the disk that is beside the "send" button on the bottom right of the text box.
This message will then appear in a pop up box and you can decide for it to be in 1st place or any place up to 5 I think.
To use the auto saved messages just press the number that corresponds to the message you want to send, the numbers will appear on the grey bar that identifies your "Guest chat".
You can repeat this for your Private chat as well. Just enter it into the private chat, chat box and repeat the other steps.

THIS!!!!! GIRL!!!! HAHA!! I thought I was the only one who didn't want to see them on Skype!!!! I have a really high paying customer who wanted to do Skype. I told him that my Skype was down because I did not want to watch his ugly-ass jerking off!!!!!!
PLUS ONE!
*I am waiting for Skye ski SK YPE to approve my account. Ive never heard of those sites.
Some actually believe this.
The fact they can use their camera cell phones is a nightmare
I love watching them scream into the phone can you hear me? CAN YOU HEAR ME?
*turns the volume off
*moves my screen in front of his video
Id rather deal with a screen licker/kisser using a regular webcam. I have learned to appreciate those days :D

Is it realistic nowadays to expect to make money on Streamate without doing dildo penetration shows...and offer other things, such as vibrator play, oil, foot fetish, shower in premium/exclusive? Or is the dildo penetration show pretty much what the premium/exclusive guys are looking for?

I don't do much dildo penetration and I do just fine. There are tons of fetish guys on SM who are fine with you either idly playing with yourself or you staying clothed while you discuss their fetish.

Thank you, guys, for the responses!

I agree, from what I've seen with some of these Gold show countdowns. Before Gold shows were added to the mix, guys were content with taking models premium and exclusive, because that's what they HAD to do in order to see a show. Now...even when they're getting shows (and sometimes videos thrown into the mix) for as low as a $1 buy-in, instead of being satisfied with that, they still got the nerve to ask "Will there be squirting? Will there be anal? How long are the videos?" *facepalm*

so... i've always interpreted the "no below the belt nudity" rule as being pretty straightforward. in other words, don't be visibly naked in free chat.
i saw a front page top girl doing a gold show countdown recently, fully nude, and penetrating a toy from behind. she was on her knees and facing the camera, so you couldn't really see her genitals in clear view, but she was clearly using a toy, and was clearly nude (as in, wearing zero clothing, as in the literal definition of nudity.)
i sent a screencap to tech support to ask if this was allowed, or if it was a violation of the below the belt nudity rule.
they responded and said this wasn't a violation. they "clarified" that "below the waist nudity with visible genitalia is not allowed." i suggested perhaps they should reword their code of conduct, which simply states "Nudity in free areas will result in temporary suspension of your account." to me, "no nudity" and "no visible genitals" are two different things.
just an FYI in case anyone didn't know this detail. i was really surprised, especially considering how graphic she was getting with a toy.
(also, no need to say "mind your own business/why are you watching other girls/don't be a snitch/etc." i really don't care what other models do. i happened to stumble on it and it was such a blatant, unexpected thing to see a naked sex act happening in free chat, so i really wanted to know if it was allowed. as a performer i want to fully understand the rules of the site i work on. i didn't think there would be a grey area to "no nudity"... but if you're allowed to be naked and fuck yourself in free chat as long as you can't see the toy going in and out, well, that's really not what i thought the rule meant.)

I sit naked in freechat sooooooooooooo many times without showing anything on screen
you really want them to change up their code of conduct so any model being naked and dressing up after the 30sec and not ready yet can be kicked off the website?
there truly is no grey area as you found out. just dont show pink. end of story. whatever goes on outside of the frame doesnt matter
Marina Starr
03-14-2018, 12:33 PM
I do the same!
The ones that like to waste time and energy policing what other models do, why don’t y’all channel that same time and energy doing something more productive?!
In the past Streamate has banned girls for reporting models they think broke the rules. I’m glad Streamate ain’t got time for that!

but it's not about the 30 second rule and still getting dressed after breaks. this person was intentionally spending ~10 minutes in a gold show countdown fully nude on her knees, with her entire body in the frame, penetrating a toy from behind and being rather graphic about it. that's a very different scenario than "sitting naked in free chat not showing anything."
the code of conduct says "In order to prevent minors’ exposure to full nudity and adult material we require there to be no below the belt nudity in free chat. " nudity = not wearing any clothes. adult material = sexual acts. it's very simply worded and implies no condition regarding whether or not you can see genitals.
by that logic i figured a model literally pounding a toy naked in free chat would be a direct and straightforward violation of this rule. i personally wouldn't want a twelve year old seeing that in free chat, even if there is technically "no pink" / no bare pussy right in your face. so yes, i do think that if the "no nudity" rule only applies to blatantly exposed genitalia, then the phrasing of the code of conduct should reflect that. also, that would mean b/g couples could fuck doggy-style in free chat from that angle, and i highly doubt that would be allowed... so what's the difference with a girl and a toy?
as for marina's comment, it's not about "policing models" - like i said idgaf what other models do. i was checking other girls feeds to see how glitchy it was and what the traffic was like before i logged on. and then i stumbled on that. so i was genuinely curious how this rule was interpreted which is why i reported it with an example and asked. so now, if some guy asks me to get naked in free chat, instead of saying "no, sorry that's against the rules" like i always have, i presumably now have the option to charge him accordingly and do so, as long as i don't "show pink."
(though honestly i still don't think i would risk it. because like brownfox said, some girls have gotten suspensions just for flashing their bare ass. tech support responses and the suspensions they give for rule-breaking seem to be wildly inconsistent, which is another reason why i brought it up to them. it'd be nice if everyone was on the same page.)

I use toys in exclusive for penetration. I will use toys in premium, but clit-play only (just a vibrator or Hitachi). For Gold Shows, the more I get, the more I do. So, I'll start a show at $40, but use fingers. $50, Hitachi. $100 dildo with penetration. $150-200 butt plug.

Anonamiss, teoretically there was no pussy shown and I don t know if you checked the entire SM thread +the Vent Thread) but somebody here said they asked support what is and not allowed and the support said that yes, they can suck a toy in public. I don t know the topic page where to point you, though.
I ve seen sexual acts in couple s room and that would be considered something graphic. Sites nowadays are more permisive.
If you want to try a site which is very strict to their models, I can recommend you Jasmin (Live Jasmin), they have many rules, they enforce them and the earnings percentage is up to 60%.
Erika_Xstacy
03-14-2018, 07:40 PM
LJ is strict
On sm I wouldn't check feeds of models to see what is up.. In general its not a good idea for many reasons. Mainly loss of money.
Checking another models feed or room count does nothing towards our feed or room count. A lot of models use different cams and encoder, obs, smb or straight through the site.
True Story Example:
Today my feed was shit. Glitching like a MFR. FPS going insane, computer reaching 100% everything moving slow motion.
I couldn't figure my mess out.
I didnt stop to check one girls room bc I am already at a loss by glitching.
I reset all my shit and then realized I was camming w a low battery. plug it in and smooth sailing.
Twitter #smglitch that will let you know if feeds are fucking up across the board.
NO PINK, NO STINK <---- That is the actual rule. :P

OKAY Pause. I just had to delete some stuff that went a bit too far. What we are not gonna do here in Camming Connection is unleash on other cammodels. I don't care if you feel vindicated with the full strength of Streamate's tos by your side. We are NOT going to enter threads threatening screenshots. We are not going to bate members with name calling like Bitches, etc. Nope thats not what we do. If that's your goal then please take it to twitter with the rest of the gatekeepers who truly have no leg to stand on. This is Stripperweb. We are not sanctioned or financially supported by Streamate, Chaturbate, Niteflirt, Cammodeldirectory, Boleyn Models, Indiebill, IMlive, LiveJasmin, Cam4, Cams, BongaCams, LCMS, ModelCentro, Adultwork, IWantEmpire, C4S, Manyvids nor Myfreecams. Or anyone else I left out.
If you don't like what someone says...then add them to your block list. But going off the rails with name calling and threatening another model's way of living is not supported here. I get asking questions for clarification, but remember...This Is Stripperweb. Not the HR Department.

I think LiveJasmin is a very lucrative site for many people (especially euro models) but at the same time it's very difficult. They monitor the boards probably more than any other camsite and this I suspect is why we don't have a "LiveJasmin Sucks Thread". It's the camsite with the most traffic but yet no one talks about it here on SW? I think there may be money to be made but no one is going to talk about it.

I recently had a private show with a "girl" even though they probably weren't a girl it still was awkward for me because I felt like I had to play along and I just didn't know what to say. I'm straight af and used to dirty talking/playing for the male gaze and I just felt uncomfortable dirty talking to "her" about her pussy and stuff. I dunno it was just strange and I felt out of my element.
Same. When I have someone claim they're a girl, I just warn them I'm used to playing with guys rather than girls on cam as I'm not seeing many. Makes it far more comfortable lol.

Well there really is no right answer... Depends on your expectations and what you put into it. When did you last work it? What did you charge? How many hours do you want to work? What is your personae?
Yeah there are glitches and freeloaders and whatnot but if you look back that has always been the case. SM obviously has no desire to change. They will be perpetually updating something and it will never be anything the models want. Other sites have their issues too all we can do is try and find our best spot.

lmfaooo so true.
I have camgirl friends that have taken 6 months to a year off, the only complaint was their placement dropped. One friend dropped her price to 3.99 and Goldshows just to get her regulars coming back and informing them its temporary. She was back to normal within a cpl weeks.
IMO
SM has not gone down.
SM has a lot of contest.

What I do feel is the models have been taught to up their game... thx to SW lessons!!! lol So the competition is more fierce, more performers or not.
On that note, were can I find a social media manager, I don't have an interest in it but feel like when I was trying to keep up, even the little effort I put in was paying off. So much I could not keep up with the demands of being the media manager and the performer.

Just an FYI to everyone, that contest next week has little to do with basketball and more to do with it being Holy Week, which isn't really a big thing in the Anglo Protestant English-speaking world but more of a celebration in Southern/Eastern Europe and Latin America. Streamate is hoping to make up for the lack of cam models that won't be online from those parts of the world by randomly slapping a basketball NCAA theme that no one but Americans give a shit about, hoping girls from the good ol' USA will pull up the slack. Then it all culminates with Easter which I'm sure will be a whole other carrot they dangle in front of us.
Holy week is celebrated in the US as well. Huge among Catholics and the Spanish/Hispanic culture

From the update email, THIS stands out the most.
Announcing Smarter Placement
We're excited to announce an update to Streamate members' front pages! When a member logs on, they now see a unique list of performers based on their preferences and habits. This means your placement is no longer simply "high" or "low"—it's different for each member. You'll show up near the top of the page for members who are a good match, automatically pairing you with the viewers who are likely to enter your room and spend!
Our goal is to deliver relevant and high-quality results to all of our members, so your video quality, ratings, and consistency are still important factors that will help you stand out. You can read more details on the updated Placement help page, along with our best tips for being seen on as many members' lists as possible!

That doesnt sound good at all. How exactly are they going to detetmine who's most likely to enter a camroom? Based on viewing history? What sort of demographics will they use? Some of these guys bounce all over the place but if they start tinkering with placement based on that, then it could create a sort of bubble where men with hardons will have to apply even more brain cells to get out of it.
Its like social media "caters" the experience based on collected data and will only show you what they think you want or should want.
