IDK what to say about this bb unless it needs to be set up under a studio acct
As I was sending my message, I remembered that I am on daily pay on streamate and I signed the new model up directly yesterday. I put in my message that I wasn't sure if that makes a difference. She didn't say if it did or if it didn't. she just said that they do not have a model referral program.
Maybe she didn't want to elaborate because I don't qualify. It was worth a try though :)

This is where models have diff experiences, I logged in this am and had a wonderful first 2 hours then it died.
I know this is from yesterday but this morning I logged in and made $4....in 30 minutes being the #3 girl on the site...WTF SM!
I'm sure it will get better but... so frustrating at this moment.
I'm just glad my vanilla business finally has taken off to the point where it pays my bills.
And WTF is up with girls offering vids for guys rating them 5 stars after a private... I've seen it before and it didn't become a trend, so hopefully it doesn't this time either/

If you're suspended, there will be a "time out" timer on your main page. You'd KNOW if you were suspended. They also send an e-mail to the address you used to sign up.
Thank you everyone and sorry for the late thanks. Like others suggested it has something to do with Internet Explorer. I have been using Firefox with no issues. Another poster mentioned Google Chrome and now that I think of it, Google Chrome was something I uninstalled. Google is spyware and I hate everything "Google", but maybe I needed it for Streamate when using IE?
Anyway... I am always freaking out and assuming the worst. Maybe I should make a note of that and put it somewhere I will see it to remind myself to chill out. O_o
Thank you Everyone ^_^ .

Today is my first day and I am buried all the way on page 7. I have been on for 2 hours and guys have been coming in my room and telling me I am pretty but I am way to expensive at 4.99 lol so i dropped it to 1.99 just for a test and immediately got my first private smh.

Youll also get them complaining at 1.99 too lol
You have to decide whether youd rather sit in free chat longer and get a few less privates if you have higher rates or if youd rather go super low and get a bunch of privates and work your puss triple the amount of time,for the exact same amount of $$.
Keep in mind that the lowest of the low as far as customers go will be in your room more often if you set it low like that.And most of them STILL dont pay.The higher you go,the less assholes and cheapskates youll get in your room although youll still get plenty even then unfortunately.But higher rates do tend to weed out SOME the trolls/douchebags/beggars-you just have to find a rate that works for you that wont mentally tax you and wear out your body at the same time.
Most vets recommend starting out at atleast 3.99pvt/4.99 exl. but if you dont feel comfortable with that,maybe try 2.99/3.99 for awhile? Its a learning process and most of us learn pretty quickly that while you may get slammed with privates at lower rates,you get sick of all the BS real quick and end up racing to the rates page to frantically change them/email support to raise them even higher.
If you havent,Id read the raise your rates and the please stop being cheap threads - they offer much more detailed insights into the whole rates dilemma.
I wish you the best of luck!

I have found that, especially when your new that its a toss up. Lower your rates some and you get more privates,, raise them ans you will sit longer. It really does take awhile for guys to find you.. Head up and give it some time :)

I actually received my SM check on Saturday and I'm on the East Coast too and it has to come from WA state...Now my Naked.com check, which comes from FL and normally gets here on Mondays is late. Maybe this big weather system caused some delay?

I just heard one model say that the customers are trying to take her PVT/EXC and they keep getting "system error" pop ups. So it's certainly not an issue on our end or theirs.

I would believe it! I noticed when custies trying to take me pvt/exclusive, it would take a bit longer after they left guest chat to show up in pvt/exclusive.

Thank you for that response Briadda. Thank goodness all I did was talk dirty in that private for those 12 minutes I definitely would of been dissapointed for pounding my pussy for 12 minutes and only making 7 bucks. As soon as we were done I logged off and asked streamate to adjust my rates up to 7.99 because they both were stuck at 4'99 for some reason so I'm going to put my premium at 5'99 and my exclusive at 7.99. I was just dissapointed at the fact that I was all the way on page 7 on my first night and all these guys kept coming in saying I was expensive. So I was thinking maybe I should start cheaper to get more privates so I can get a 5 star rating quicker and get pushed closer to the front page. Then I realized that I really didn't want to be at 1.99. I was on for 2 hours with out a private so I figured I should test out a lower price and see what happens. Maybe I should try to be more sexy or entertaining or something to get the privates rolling at a higher price idk.
Marina Starr

Please don't charge too low because you're new. $1.99 will attract a lot of cheap ass mother fuckers and freeloaders. Keep your prices at least $3.99 and over :)

LOLOLOLOL
Sorry, that's funny. You can't call Streamate. Just send support an e-mail and hope someone answers 1. the right question, and 2. at all. :) Good luck.
Edit to add: I'm not laughing at your problem, so I apologize if that was offensive. Just the thought of being able to call SM & easily solve an issue is laughable b/c it's so impossible.

I kind of don't blame them. It can be frustrating when there's a REAL problem, but can you imagine all the crazy calls they'd get?
"Hey, yeah, I can't figure out how to turn on my webcam. Do I really need to plug it in?"
and other numerous gems which I won't mention here b/c I'll probably just end up offending someone. Point is, it would be awesome if there was a number we could call, but I don't think models have enough of a "filter" to know when to spend 10 minutes trying to fix an issue on their own.

She's a top model for a reason.... So she has to be doing something right. I don't think I'm a top model but I'm always in rows 1-4 on SM. And I've spazzed out on guys. Because they deserve it. I assume it probably is hilarious for people watching, and I don't like that thought :(

She was doing it for entertainment everyone in her room was laughing at the guys she corrected. Any guy that came in her room acting dumb got cussed out then kicked out she was letting everyone know that she runs her room not them and guess what she still made her gold show and got her money. I just started streamate 2 days ago I'm buried all the way on page 7-9 and have only gotten a few privates. I was looking at her for inspiration I definitely was not judging or making fun of her.

Ok, I can't understand what I'm doing wrong, but I just need to tell it to someone. I really really want to do that camming thing right and I know I have to at least put the hours so I decided I'll start slow and stay on cam at least 10 hours this week. I stayed for 40 minutes on sm yesterday, but it was bad and I logged off. There were some guys entering and leaving, but nobody even spoke to me. There was just one guy who wanted to see my toy. I decided to log off because I could see I don't look good. I don't have lights and it was evening here and the colors on cam were kind of reddish I decided I'll log on again today when it's daytime, at least I look a little better on daylight. So here I'm staying for 30 minutes with great internet connection, my page says it's streaming and nobody even entered my room. This has never happened to me and at the end I just started crying and logged off. I know I'm feeling a little bit down these days, but I'm not showing this on cam, I smile, I'm nice and even dance a little in free chat...just can't understand what I'm doing so wrong. I suppose I'm not on the first couple of pages, but still I'm using the HD encoder so I can't be on the last or at least I hope so. I've blocked my country so I can't check on that.
I just really needed to say that. I think I'll check LJ now and if it's bad there either I may try sm later.

You're broadcasting on the Internet, bb! You can't control who sees it, what they think or why they watch.

They'll say up to 9 days... Whatever the USPS website for mail delivery times is either 9 or 11 days, I can't remember.
A month or so ago I had a check that late, requested a new one then a couple of days later USPS finally got me my check (all mangled looking)...too bad I already cancelled it, but the next week SM combined that check with another one and I got it really fast.

The site is acting funny for me again today, watching my own video I am lagging and glitchy for about a min, then im fine for 20-30 secs, and then back to the lagging. Ive switched computers, checked my upload and download speeds, and even hardwired into my internet and its still happening. I really wish this would stop, its so frustrating.

Are you using the HD Encoder? If so, reset your internet and unclick 'auto adjust' in the Encoder and see if that helps.
