A heads up for the models here who were interested on maybe doing a podcast with Mr.Skin. Head over to @StreamateModels on Twitter they are putting the call out to any models who want to be on the podcast. Like and leave a comment as to why you should be on the show.

Also does anyone know how out clients can give us tips when we are offline? Is there a link or something I can send out to a guy?

I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure they can only tip offline on mobile.

^^^ ERRRRRRR!!! So frustrating when they dont have this stuff in their FAQs or help section. Do you know how its done from the mobile?? Cause I want to have a guy send me gold but I dont know how its done and you know these guys are a bit to distracted to figure it out on their own.

I believe the option for tipping offline is available when a member sends you a message via mobile. As far as I know there is an icon or separate button in the mobile messaging window for sending gold.

For those who wanted to know, like me, this is their response.
If your client's on a mobile device and goes to your Streamate profile when you are offline, click "Send a Private Message," then click the GOLD icon at the bottom-left of the screen. :)

sm is a rubrics cube at times

^^ :D :D :D That is exactly what I just did!
I never got an offline tip, that button should be placed right near the other icons like Favorite me, not inside another button like Message me. Whatever, SM is loosing money too this way ...

I've managed to have the occasional video sale on there. I don't *think* I've lost any custies over it. I think I had one guy do a show and purchase a vid. I like when I sell vids cuz I make money for no work.
I also use vids to get around things I don't usually like to do on cam so I have to do less of it or things I probably wouldn't regularly be doing on cam much anyways. For instance, with the dudes who I know will only do a fewe minute show and are wanting me to squirt right away, I'll refer them to a squirt vid. I still have dudes wanting to see me play live though. I think some don't even scroll down and notice the videos tab. I also have like a video of me getting messy with ice cream and ice cream isn't something I always have around in case that's that's someones kink.
Maybe offer different things you don't usually offer in your typical show so they still have to come back for your show? Ie, they can get a tease for less with their videos, but only offer squirting in shows so they have something they have to come back for.

Hello! First post on this site, sorry if this has been discussed before.
But I ALWAYS wonder when we are going to get a model support phone number to call when we are having issues. It is incredibly frustrating to have an issue that literally affects your very livelihood, and having to wait 2-3 days to get auto-responses back from BOTS.
If members have a member support line, why don't we? Are the models who keep the site running less important than members?

There are the site representatives Liz (for US) and Catalina, I don t know about Vanessa as well, I think she s more with the brand awareness and social media. From them, I only dealed with Catalina so far because she s the Rep for Europe and she replies via email, Skype, WhatsApp and quickly, except when she s at cam conventions. I know her office is open for models in any case, but that s if you re a local.

Theres a promotional opportunity in Industry Insight for models on Streamate and more. To be clear I moved it there to respect the section and to uphold the balance between performers and affiliates. Unfortunately SW doesnt seem to support sub forums for Camming Connection. I'm working with what I got and I'm currently brainstorming on ways to fix that. Check it out. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions.

Any suggestions for profile pictures? Either SM is dead or my picture isnt what they want to see lol
I'm new to SM, I see theres a classic chat and a party chat, are those the 2 options you have? Also, if I'm in classic chat am I in free chat and only seen as available for paid chat? Is there a way to just list myself available for paid chat but not be in free chat? Also theres a party chat which do you guys prefer? Trying to figure this out apparently I made a little gold money while sitting in classic chat or party idk, didn't I even know at the time, how do u know if your tipped?
Also, what rates are best for someone that doesnt do anal or have toys yet? Is 3.69/4.69 ok? Is that high or low 4 the site

free/guest chat is required. classic chat means that users are "invisible" to each other and only you can see the text people type in your chatroom. party chat means users can choose to be "visible" and can therefore have their text seen by everyone else in the room. more importantly, you can only start gold shows if you're in party chat. my room is very social and interactive so i always use party chat. if you don't do gold shows and are more one-on-one focused, classic chat might be the way to go.
if you've been tipped, you'll hear a tip noise and it will show up immediately in your earnings report. if you're new, guys might try to scam you by just typing out a fake tip in the chat. check your "recent earnings" tab at the top of your chat window to confirm whether or not it was a real tip.
streamate has a help site/blog that has a bunch of good information for newbies. https://streamatehelp.com/getting-started/

My rate is 4.99/5.99 and I don't do Anal. It's listed on my room Topic that I don't do anal. I make it VERY clear when asked. And I will quickly block a mf who acts like they don't understand that. (Side bar: dudes will literally try and take you prvt. and be like "okay, so enough games let's see if you can fit that cock in your ass". I've dragged convos like that on for a few minutes just to get paid for the inconvenience and then I block em right there in prvt. chat)
I've never had an issue with my rates even though I don't do the butt stuff so I wouldn't look at it from that perspective, the "is it fair for me to charge this" view.

Yes there is only Classic and Party. Yes if you are classic you are free (its called guest chat at SM) and that means you are available for paid chat and/or Tips (tip vibrator are great for this). There is a way to be only in Paid and not in Guest chat However it is risky because often guys can hack through this and then view and record your private sessions and then post them else where. I was warned about this so I would not recommend this option. Also locking yourself in Private chat means you cannot have clients take you exclusive. Better to be in free.
As mentioned above Party chat is really for models who are doing Gold Shows and/or those who have social rooms, so the clients like to talk to one another. If you have a tip vibrator in party is great for that as well because often you will have guys who will all start tipping you at the same time or try to out tip one another so Party chat is a more lucrative in that case but if you prefer to go one on one with clients then stick to classic chat.
Tips can come to you offline, after a show a guy can tip you and while you are in Guest chat, private or Exclusive chat you can receive tips. For offline and post show tips you receive an email letting you know. If you are live you will hear a chime and you will see a message with a little gold coin beside it telling you who tipped and how much. Tips higher then 25 dollars will have a more elaborate chime but the rest is the same. So turn on your sound!
As for rate I would go higher as well. Offering anal isnt actually a huge deal so it doesnt count for much. I personally find that when I am in Private chat I normally have two or clients with me so for exclusive I charge the double of my private rate so I would recommend putting that one up for sure. Remember its always easier to bring your price down then to put it up.

Good day to everybody :-*. Just to mention something, Im using my interactive toy on SM since a week ago in classic chat, i never use party chat because i dont do gold shows or interact to much, i sit normally waiting for privates like usually do, and.... My income has been muchhh better since then. Im happy with that. But ive seen manyyy customers asking me "why I dont open legs and show my kitty while the toy vibe" so yeah, that must be due to many girls around there are doing it (that ofc is against the rules) so they think all of us do the same. So, all is about how we use these devices in free chat because Sm actually let us use these toys, all depends How we use them. I just tell my users: if u want more we have to go to pvt, easy. My customers just tip to see my face of pleasure, thats all. But so far all good here. Happy day there. :)

Someone posted here that disconnected manually meant a sm admin cut it off. Possibly because of fraud? When that happened to me they weren't able to enter the room afterwards. They just disappeared. Isnt there another prompt that says member needs to contact an admin, something like that? Those are the ones I thought ran out of money and need additional support to increase their limit.

You would just need to contact support and request to have your account closed. But be sure to have conformation that it's closed before creating a second account. Otherwise they may close the new account.

Can anyone help me understand what this new SM connect is? I keep seeing it mentioned here, but I don't see anything about it on my dashboard or profile. I also don't see an option for party chat? All I know is I'm in the same guest chat I've always been in. Just curious what this is. I do opt in for new features, and I tried out the "new way to stream" that they offered, but couldn't do it because I use Smbroadcaster and it wouldn't let me. Im just pretty confused, if anyone could help please. Thank you.

Guest chat is free chat, which has 2 modes: Party Chat and Classic Chat. In Classic Chat, I believe the guests in your room cannot see what the others are typing, or how many are in your room. In Party Chat, the guests CAN see what others are typing, and can interact with them as well. You can only start GOLD SHOWS in Party Chat mode.
To switch from Classic chat to Party Chat, click on your Settings tab (next to Live Show) once you've loaded your Live Stream page (but before you start streaming). On the right side you'll see an option to change the mode.

SM Connect is a new interface that Streamate is rolling out, I think because they're finally switching from Flash to HTML5. It looks cool but I haven't used it yet since it's still in beta phase.

Thanks so much. I get it now. I forgot party chat was even up there because I never do gold shows, and I thought that's what it was for lol.
I need to either have an external encoder or use chrome broadcast(which I tried & didn't like) to use the new interface. What would be a good alternative to Smbroadcaster?

My chatroom and user activity is still not synced up properly although the delay is less, it's like a second now. Also today my rankings section was messed up and it took over 20 minutes to fix itself(I know it says it can take up to 24 hours but it always fixes itself within ten minutes for me) and it took my placement even longer to fix itself, normally they both fix themselves at the same time.

"SMPay is an e-wallet service that Streamate is creating with our international models in mind" Yay! :D
"we'll send your Streamate Models earnings to SMPay in EUR currency" Ugh!!!!! :banghead:
I'll have to do some research but I'm pretty sure any atm I use down here to withdraw EUR is going to fuck my ass with a rough pineapple in terms of conversion fees.

Has anyone got there august bonus yet. This is the message I received but haven't got anything yet and I made over 400 that week
We're inviting you to join us for a 10% bonus earnings week from August 19-25th (GMT)!
To qualify for the 10% bonus, you'll need to make at least $400 in eligible earnings during the week.

That means if you earn $400 in eligible earnings that week, we'll add on an extra $40 bonus. If you earn $1000, you'll earn a $100 bonus! This special event doesn't have a leaderboard or prize list, and there's no limit to the amount you can earn. The bonus will be calculated from all eligible earnings made between Aug 19-25th (GMT), so make sure you know when those dates start in your time zone.
Let your regulars know when you plan to be online and invite them to join you! Use #smbonus to promote your shows on social media.
Rewards will be added to your earnings within a week after the contest is over and will be paid on your regular payment schedule. We hope you can join us!

Right, i got the email too, sounds like an option but i dont see the need to send our earnings in euro, i mean is an option or they'll send euros to everyone?
I mean why convert it? Is the exchange rate better if SM converts the american dollars we make into euro and send us euro?
I dont have euro in my country but the local currency still so i'll face conversion fees here as well.
Dont know if i should get this card or not cause i have Cosmo and Paxum already, will think about it.

I saw no % for the conversion rate, so I assume we can withdraw money at the Mastercard rate (which is pretty good). Ofc, if you chose to let the ATM convert it, then you will pay a fee.
But with Paxum or Cosmo, we pay that % to the service, not the atm. So I think is going to be similar. We are going to lose a couple percentages with $ to €, but not pay a fee for withdrawals.
