Anyone noticed that Canada can now get wire transfer. semi super excited right now, not yet
Still need to finish rolling into these Dave Ramsey baby steps and have $1,000 in emergency funds before I can see if it works or not.

Did anyone who used the beta cam get the 10% bonus? I just looked at my payment history and it's not on my check.
It was added to me yesterday.

still wondering where mine is.
I hope they don't throw in some BS of how because I didn't have actual cam2cam sessions I won't get it. because they did invite me in and I sent in the feedback even when the proper feedback link was broken.
I still managed to get the feedback sent in.

He deactivated his account/got blocked by the website/blocked msgs from you. Most of the times it's the first option. Camming websites can be pretty addictive, like a nude Facebook/YouTube for guys.

It was just for last week and you had to get the invite to do it. It is different than the regular SMBroadcast, has improved C2C features.

There will be a link payment adjustments that will have it. I thought it show up on my earnings drop down menu. but its a separate page.
So now I have to work for the 30% bonus week and see how well I can do it to get as much as possible.
Now I am curious about wire transfers since they are willing to send to Canada. Added in my spreadsheet wire minimums, plus fees and rough estimate of how much I will get. and it is super motivating if I can hit minimum $300 a week.

Holy shit, guys!
Just had a really great placement discovery that I wanted to share with you all. Geo-restrictions really do make a HUGE impact on placement. Like whoaaa.
I was feeling so hopeless at my ever shitty placement last night that I decided to just say "fuck it" and take the risk of removing the geo-restrictions. I wanted to see how big of a difference it makes.
Well damn, does it make a difference! When I got on first thing I immediately noticed the upswing in traffic. I'm also now on the THE 3RD PAGE of the overall SM site, and page 1 of the curvy category! This is huge for me!
I am thinking once I get my new webcam, the Logitech c930e (it's a Christmas gift I am waiting on) that my placement and overall performance will go up tremendously! I am suddenly feeling way more hopeful!

Just an FYI, once you turn off geoblocking you are WAY more likely to have your shows recorded and uploaded to tubesites. That is actually the main reason I keep my geoblocking on. Streamate and their affiliates are allowed to record your shows at their discretion (for "promotional purposes") unless you have geoblocking on.
I keep all my other ranking stats at "excellent" and I am able to maintain pretty steady traffic with geoblocking. I'm not convinced it actually has a massive impact on placement if the rest of your stats are good.

I think once you are established it doesn’t matter if you have geoblock on. I feel like I could turn it on right now and it wouldn’t hurt my paycheck too much because of the amount of regulars and favorites I have. However when I was new I had it on and saw a huge increase in income when I turned it off. I also get a fair number of guys who say they see me on pornhub and that makes them sign up, might be lying but still, they are new and spend cash.

fair point, I should have mentioned that in my post. I had geoblock off for my first 2 years and amassed a pretty hefty amount of favorites. Definitely helped for when I started geoblocking early last year.
Mainly just wanted to make the point that if you started with geoblock on and you're not used to your shows being recorded/uploaded, be prepared/aware of the higher possibility now. I assume for most girls it's worth the boost in traffic. But if you're paranoid about it, keep geoblock on.

dont forget streamate gives affiliates use of material for promo.
if geoblocked, affiliates can not use the model for promo..

Well, they need to spend something with you, otherwise you won't know those details (the ID no). Before I was asking them to msg me also, but I deleted my inbox history and I had to improvise to see if it actually works and boom, it did.
I don't know why SM doesn't teach tips and tricks. For all those years I thought the same. But it actually makes sense, that's how they know John is that John, by the registration no they get when signing up. And there is no way to find it out, unless they spend something/msg first.
I'm getting a message that says "Error. You cannot contact these user(s)." when I try to send a message this way. I was planning to be online a lot this week but then my period came early. I wanted to try to schedule a fetish show with a customer for this week so I could still get that bonus. When I was online Sunday I kept asking him to send me a message so we could keep in contact but he couldn't figure out how to do that while on mobile. Any way, now I'm trying to contact him using this method and I'm getting the error message. I formatted it to be Username <8 digit number>, but the message won't go through. I tried it with and without a space between the username and the number. Does anyone have any tips?

Accounts are not fully deleted right away. I think there needs to be a 6 months break for it. Otherwise, he can reactive his account after a few days/weeks.

Same with me. I think also if the client goes into debit the account gets suspended until they log in and pay up the money owed. If its a regular client then its usually not a problem. They overspend a bit and the next time they log in they make sure the balance is taken care of so they can continue using the site.

Wire Transfer works fine. It just sucks that the fee is 40 dollars. For high earners, it's probably no big deal, but 40 dollars every week adds up fast.

How do they go into debt with the site? I've had guys tell me they couldn't spend anything because they owe money and I thought they were just full of shit. I thought they gave the site their credit card and it just billed the card. Wouldn't the transaction just be declined if there was no credit available on the card?
DeepThoughts
12-19-2018, 06:16 AM
^^ So I would be guessing here but basically what happens is that their CC is billed after the transaction is made. This isnt going to happen with new clients because they are given a limit of 50-100 bucks and then they can have that limit raised to say 300 and with more time and spending they can basically have a much higher limit.
SO! lets say 1000 is what they can spend on the site. So a guy comes in your room and he spends 500 on you cums and leaves. Then SM charges to the CC they have on file but his card is almost maxed out and only covers 300. The client now owes 200 to the site. Now lots of these guys pay their CC off at the end of the month so once its paid and they log back into SM then SM can collect their 200 and unblock the client. Rinse and repeat.
Now Im speculating on this as I said but its an educated guess based on the info I have gathered from clients and other models on this site sharing information. I have never held a client account so I cannot say for certain that this is the case but I believe it to be true because it would be in SM best interest to allow the whales and clients with the financial means to spend freely without realizing how much they are spending in one go. The financial benefit of this would far out weight the financial loss from clients who did not pay their own CC debit and thus would have an outstanding balance with SM (who pays their models regardless ergo they suffer the loss not us).
Another interesting take away is if I have a client that tells me they cannot come see me on SM because they have an outstanding balance or even if they allude to that I do not offer them an alternative site where they can see me because they have just proven to me that they are unable to pay for the services and most sites will charge the loss back to me! So when a guy asks me on twitter if I do SKype I tell him to come see me on SM. If he says he cannot cause they closed his account then I tell him to pay his account and come see me on SM. Dont want no broke clients thanks!

It's definitely something along this line. Long story short, the old producers (the ones with TV requests) were covering customer support also. Some of them used to be chatty a few years ago and I remember them telling me they had to suspend specific guys due to being late on payment. Plus, they constantly check for clients accounts (as in if they are fraudulent or if that limit suits their spending habits). Others have attribution for models also. I remember this guy who got promoted and he would verify suspicious earnings from both sides.
So yes, clients can get suspended (until they actually pay it), due to reaching their credit card limits. Don't know how the credit card system works, cause all my life I've dealt only with debit.
Btw, is it me or they are not doing TV shows anymore (Top Spot whateva')? I haven't received a request in some good weeks.

i am missing streamate checkS, plural.
informed delivery confirmed the drop off but my mailman had nothing in his hand. NC had a snow storm lol 1 flurry the state is on lock down so we assumed it was stuck in another town.
2 weeks.. no checks.. 2 informed delivery w no delivery.

That makes sense since obviously they can't bill it until after the show is already done so they wouldn't know how much to authorize the card for beforehand. I've also had them tell me they have to add funds to their account which I figured they must be using a prepaid card and that is what they are adding funds to.

If your traffic suddenly dies while you're online you might want to make sure that your placement didn't randomly tank; I ended up on page 2 for no reason after emerging from pvt and I had to end and restart my stream to fix it. Normally the only time that happens is if my fps drops and my rankings drop from excellent, neither of which happened this time.
JoyKitten
12-20-2018, 10:31 PM
favorites only lets the guys build a list of models they want to see or think they will see. it has nothing to do with your money at all.
*Bump this topic*
I strongly disagree with saying being favorited by guys has nothing to do with our money. When they make us a favorite & we're streaming we appear on the 1st spots on their top line of available models. It's like handing us a paycheck! It's the most important advertising ev'a!
The guy is interested in us, he's horny, we're on & he can easily find us. Bingo-bango! He can take us private rather than waste his time searching, maybe not finding us. Or, instead of going with another model instead of me.
It's so important to my business that when my chatbox is full of 7 or more non-regulars I ask everyone to please use the heart button to save me to their favorites list so they can find me again when they're ready to get freaky with me.

He asked me for gagging. I was like "Okay, cool, let's do gagging!" During the show I got naked, gagged on my dildo really hard, and then they left after doing the whole "mmmm" and "ohhh" thing that dudes fuckin do when they're jerkin it. The session was like 3 minutes, overall.
Then when he left he rated me 1 fucking star! >:( I am thinking perhaps it is a troll account or something, or maybe he hit the button on accident.
Or maybe he's upset because I didn't throw up? Some guys really want that when they say they want gagging.
I'm so upset! And I'm not sure I can have the site remove this one since it's technically not because he asked for something I don't offer.

Just tell them the rating is unfair, because you actually did what he asked for. And 3 minutes it's not that much to show your full skills + plus everything you said above. Be confident, you'll have it removed.

Next time screen shot his responses, that is enough to get the ratings removed. I have to say this holiday season has the trolls feeling some way. I haven’t gotten a 1 star in over a year but the other week I got 2. One was from a private block scammer other was a douche, both were removed

They go over their credit card or debit card limit. SM will allow the guys to sign in, but not spend until they pay SM what they owe.
