Great I think the site is going down. I came out of a pvt and had no one coming into my room or any potential viewers; I logged off and back on and sat there for two minutes with no potential viewers and no one coming in the chatroom period. I restarted the broadcaster and tried again and still literally zero traffic, I checked on my room and it wouldn't load at all. I checked other rooms and none of them were loading and I'm see the model count drop.

Since they removed the "My Rankings" page in favor of the new "priority placement" banner -- does this mean they are no longer considering other factors such as "hours online"?

The banner says I'm getting "priority placement" because I'm using SMBroadcast + C2C Beta, with the "classic flash page." So do I not have to worry about my placement getting dropped if I'm not working 90+ hours a month (or whatever it used to take for that ranking to be "excellent")?

Oh goodness I didn't think of this but it would be great if that was the case as it would be great to be able to come back from vacation and not be on like page 20 :D

so I messaged Liz about my ratings page not updating and this is what she said:

" There is a bug in our system that does not show all ratings as paid ratings so they are not all counted. I’m not sure when this will be fixed. Right now you onl

Some showed up as non-paid ratings. it’s an error in the ratings system. if you get a few more just to be safe I’m sure it will show up as 5 "

This makes no sense?? Since when has guys been able to rate a model if they haven't done a show?? Anyone know what she is talking about?:O

Incoming domestic wire transfer fees are $15 per transaction. Incoming foreign wire transfer fees are $16 per transaction.
depending where you are is the cost.

And this is on top of the fee SM charges to send?

I don't think that's the case, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sort us on the page. Yes, priority placement matters, but if you have that checked, then other things matter next (hours, ratings, billing per hour, time in paid chat, longevity etc).

I have priority placement and I've been offline for a couple of weeks. My placement is lower now than last time (rocking 90h), because my hours went down also.

I think SM needs to clear this out, otherwise models will think other stats won't matter and stop hustling for hours.

Ladies, maybe someone can help me, I am trying to use SMconnect, but when hitting connect, it just keeps loading and and never connects? Any suggestion what the reason is? All the other ways to connect work just fine, only SMconnect not?????

Thanks so much

Happened to me too, and some girls said it happened to them too, and it worked after restarting the router and the computer. I havent tried yet, as I am not sure about this new software yet...waiting a bit longer so they make it work properly.

I work 2 or 3 times a week only for 3-5 hours but I am on 1st page but I have been on streamate for 5 year so I gues that's why LOL

I have no idea what this means :D My understanding was that they can only rate you after a show and I have never seen any rating from the 40 second peepers so I just assumed they couldnt rate either. This is very weird!

On another note I have been using SMC for a couple of weeks now and just today (by accident) I discovered I can make my video image larger and get rid of all that info on the side!!! I freaked out! So much better to be able to see myself now! If only I could turn off the alerts that tell me that clients have entered guest chat! I hate the alert just constantly pinging at me while Im chatting and working the room!! I will be writing them about that. What are some of the thing you ladies would like to change about the new system? Im just curious.

I also get the priority placement banner, but can't look me up on Streamate since I have blocked my country. My question, if you get the priority placement banner, which pages am I on on the site? between 1-5 or 1-10, or.....?
Anyone knows?

Is that glitch still happening where it doesn’t say you have priority? I suddenly don’t but always have before today - and my placement seems the same?

Yeah, it's still happening to me. Can't check my placement, though, because I got geoblocking on.

Okay I changed my mind about OBS. I had to take some time off from camming, and decided to try the SMBC2C upon my return. I LOVE IT!!!!! Bye OBS.

No delay, and it just runs flawlessly. SM has their shit together these days (*Pretending to insert 5 applaud hands emojis here*). I won't be using SMC anytime soon, but I'm very happy with what I am using now.

If we are using the new SMBC2C for a gold show then it gives us an extra 1.30 min at the end to start the show when the goal is not met. Is this correct? Cause that is an amazing feature! I have missed so many shows cause I got distracted and didnt push the button to start in time. I saw it once but now Im afraid to try it again in case Im wrong :D

I have, twice unfortunately (both times the lost/voided checks showed up like 3+ weeks later - likely a postal service issue, not SMs fault). Unless you want to wait several months to waive the fee, it will cost $25 to reissue which they take out of your earnings and then send it out with the next round of paychecks which go out on Wednesdays.

I haven't had any problem with SM wire in Canada. I always seem to get it the Monday after payday but today this time because of our holiday yesterday. Way better than wire through Paxum. Cheaper and I feel more confident that it won't go missing and I'll never see it.

Sorry to hear you still don't have your money. I did get mine last Monday and don't deal with Paxum anymore. Don't need the stress.

Thanks ladies, I'm trying to wait it out. This happened to me once a few years ago. The check showed up a 2 or 3 weeks later kind of tattered. I'm gonna hold out the 45 days so I don't get $25 taken out of my hard earned money....but fuck this sucks, especially with quarterly taxes coming up.

This nice guy, jack47, couldn't post here because he’s not a model, but he wrote me these great details about gold shows:
I can't post in the camming section (not being a performer), but I saw your question.


In general, you have to set a price to join your show, a duration, a goal and a timer.


Price: The minimum a customer has to pay to join the show. Their first tip cannot be less, but it can be more and they can keep tipping afterwards. People can join from the moment you start the timer until the show ends, so they can join even if the show has already started.


Duration: Can be a minute, can be several hours. You should be sure to have your show planned accordingly. Being done after 5 minutes when you promised a 10 minute show is as bad as rushing through 10 different positions in 3 minutes.

Goal: The gold the crowd needs to pledge to start the show. If the goal is reached, you have to start the show. If the goal is not reached, you can decide to start the show anyway (to my knowledge it will be automatically cancelled unless you manually override it, but you should check that with another performer). You will only get paid if you start the show. Also, the goal should look achievable - there are not many performers who can reach a 100+ goal or get more than 20 people to join.

Timer: The time people have to join the show. This is also the time you will be visible to people who filter for gold shows. A high value (15+) might scare people away because they don't want to wait.


There are probably hundreds of strategies, but to give you some ideas (it also depends on what you intend to do in your show and how often you can repeat it):


You can just do one gold show after the other (price 2-3, duration 5, goal 10-20, timer 5-10). You might end up doing shows with just two or three people. IMO the idea is to use the shows as teaser to get people to continue/restart in pvt.

You can throw in a gold show when you have a certain number of people in the room (price 4-6, duration 6-8, goal 30-60, timer 5-10).

You can aim for high value gold shows. You can offer pictures or videos for higher tips or special treatment for the high tipper. You can also try to roll forward your gold show (that usually requires a fan base). In that case you would set a high goal and start with a medium timer. When the timer runs out you would cancel and restart with a shorter timer. Rinse and repeat. The idea is to either build up enough momentum to keep those who already pledged interested (hoping that most of them pledge again after every restart) while attracting new tippers at the same time, or to find a whale.


You can start a gold show even if you haven’t reached your goal. Sometimes people just wait for the show to start before they join. So if several people are staying in the room without joining they might wait for that to happen.


You can use a sound activated toy to get people a) to join and b) to keep tipping during the show. The latter is often used for low goal shows (lure them in with a low price and have them pay afterwards – depending on how strict you insist on additional payments this might backfire if you care about your rating). However, if this is done well you can double or triple your goal with additional tips.
Just one minor correction. I said that you are visible to people who filter for gold shows while the timer is running, however, you are also visible while doing the gold show.


Fun fact: People who join the show do not see a countdown while the show is running so unlike you they don't know how much time is left and when it's going to end.

Thank you very much, Jack!

Just a couple of things I wanted to add. Most of this is correct. Who is this Jack guy? is he from support or some rando client?




Duration: Can be a minute, can be several hours. You should be sure to have your show planned accordingly. Being done after 5 minutes when you promised a 10 minute show is as bad as rushing through 10 different positions in 3 minutes.

Goal: The gold the crowd needs to pledge to start the show. If the goal is reached, you have to start the show. You dont HAVE to but the timer will shorten to a minute and a half if your goal is reached and then it startsIf the goal is not reached, you can decide to start the show anyway (to my knowledge it will be automatically cancelled unless you manually override it, but you should check that with another performer). It will cancel after one and a half minuites from the count down timer ending if you are using the SMBC2C and it will cancel automatically after the timer ends on the old SMB You will only get paid if you start the show.[B]You only get paid when you FINISH the show! If you cancel early or your internet drops or power goes out or the systm just glitches you will not get paid and the clients will not be charged. For this reason I do not recommend doing long gold shows like an hour or more. Break them up if
you want to be in a GS all the time Also, the goal should look achievable because you can start at any amount this is BS advice. set it to what you like and start when you want. If someone drops a large amount you wont be forced to start right away and can entice more guys to join so dont be afraid to set it high and verbally say the show will start at 20 or 50 bucks- there are not many performers who can reach a 100+ goal or get more than 20 people to join.

Timer: The time people have to join the show. This is also the time you will be visible to people who filter for gold shows. A high value (15+) might scare people away because they don't want to wait. also bullshit. Nobody is scared of your timer but some guys only do goldshows so they will pop in and how long they have then leave and check out other shows. They will be back near the end of the timer and if it looks close to start or it is going to start they will join it. Most guys join at the end so dont cancel your timer and dont be afraid to set it for longer then 15 mins if you want they will pop back at the end.


There are probably hundreds of strategies, but to give you some ideas (it also depends on what you intend to do in your show and how often you can repeat it):


You can just do one gold show after the other (price 2-3, duration 5, goal 10-20, timer 5-10). You might end up doing shows with just two or three people. IMO the idea is to use the shows as teaser to get people to continue/restart in pvt.I find most guys dont go on to private most go on to other gold shows so I wouldnt recommend this

You can throw in a gold show when you have a certain number of people in the room (price 4-6, duration 6-8, goal 30-60, timer 5-10). No idea what this means. You can throw one anytime regardless of how many people are in the room. Also people will come if you start one and the people who are already there will likely not tip so its irrelevant who is in your room

You can aim for high value gold shows. You can offer pictures or videos for higher tips or special treatment for the high tipper. You can also try to roll forward your gold show (that usually requires a fan base). In that case you would set a high goal and start with a medium timer. When the timer runs out you would cancel and restart with a shorter timer. Rinse and repeat. The idea is to either build up enough momentum to keep those who already pledged interested (hoping that most of them pledge again after every restart) while attracting new tippers at the same time, or to find a whale. again I wouldnt recommend. Most guys will leave and go find another gold show and then come back or not but yeah if you have a really really solid fan base I suppose you could but also if you have a really solid fan base your probably made your goal so why not just start and then rinse and repeat with a new show?


You can start a gold show even if you haven’t reached your goal. Sometimes people just wait for the show to start before they join. So if several people are staying in the room without joining they might wait for that to happen. yep


You can use a sound activated toy to get people a) to join and b) to keep tipping during the show. The latter is often used for low goal shows (lure them in with a low price and have them pay afterwards – depending on how strict you insist on additional payments this might backfire if you care about your rating). care about your rating?? People cant rate you after a gold show so it cannot effect your rating. Maybe piss off some clients if you ask for more money once your in the show to do certain things but some guys love that and there is nothing wrong with asking for more to preform more. I wont do anal for a 50 gold show but if they throw down another 50 sure I would but I also wouldnt say im doing anal in the description.However, if this is done well you can double or triple your goal with additional tips.
Just one minor correction. I said that you are visible to people who filter for gold shows while the timer is running, however, you are also visible while doing the gold show.

Also, don't do gold shows for $20, pls. You are better than biscuit money. Put a good price on your time and body!

If your hustle are GS, then set up high. You are already giving a discount for the performance.

I'm not sure if this is the same scenario as an address change, but when I had to renew my ID it took nearly a month before it finally got accepted. I uploaded it right away and it was pending for over three weeks, even after contacting support twice. (Thankfully my old ID hadn't expired yet, so I could still work the whole time.)

I dont work for them I work for me. They provide the platform and drive traffic to it but all the models are self employed.

Im not really sure what you are asking though. I mean. Why Wounldnt it be worth it to work on SM???

Since Most websites give you 50%, and SM only give 35% of payments (I think at least from what I read?). Just trying to see if it's somewhere it's worth getting the 35% instead of the 50%

Its not about how much of a percentage you get. If you get 50% on another site but they have little to no traffic you will make 50% of 0 dollars. SM has good traffic! Also those other sites often do charge backs. SM does not do this. They absorb all the losses so what you make is 100% yours. Nothing frustrates me more then logging in to find out I have been docked $$

"Only 35%" is relative. For example, if a site pays out 80% but has garbage traffic and shit-quality cheap guys, then you're effectively getting 80% of pennies while dealing with awful people all night. Not worth it, IMO.

For me it's worth it to work SM because I get fairly steady traffic and have amassed a lot of generous regulars over the years. I also hate token sites and prefer the small free chat/private show format.

It does sting a little bit to get a big tip or a long block session and only keep 35%, but the fact that I can reliably hit my goals is why I stay there. The percentage is frankly irrelevant as long as I'm making good money.

That and the fact that they cover chargebacks. I would personally never take a risk with a higher-paying site if they don't cover chargebacks. Too much risk of being scammed.

And both of you are so right that I want to slow clap. I think Skyprivate offers a 75% payout but I've made a total of 49 dollars since first signing up in August. SM's 35% feels like a slap in the face when you have customers tipping $50+ at a time but no other site brings me even remotely close to 1K a week. So I refuse to complain.

does anyone know if not having 90 hours really affects your placement? I was gone for 4 months, so I am still trying to get everything built back up. I finally got back to 5 stars and I've noticed a big boost from that but just curious if getting to 90 hours will make a difference too?

tbh Ive been page 1 (very bottom) - page 2 (I hoover around middle to top on page 2) and my hours are usually around 30-60 depending. I think I'd be even higher if my internet was better

I think they matter a bit I just dont think they matter loads

I put in nowhere near 90 a month. Some months if Im shooting a lot of porn or travelling I put in like 25 a month and I still sit very happily on the first page when I log in. The only time this wasnt true was just recently cause I was gone for almost 5 months in a row. When I came back my placement was somewhere else (I dont really check it anymore) and I had 4 stars but a week later I was back on top and I only did like 15 or 18 hours that week so I really think it has very little to do with your hours and more to do with your turn over rate.

Always remind guys to add you to their favorites because that means you will show on top for them. I say it all the time to my room and I have it saved as a pretyped message that I shoot out to the room very often Especially if Im running a GS or if there are just a lot of guys parked in my room. I really think that helps, even if it doesnt help your placement it helps that you show on top for so many guys cause most of these guys wont Un-favorite you they will just click it and forget it.

I should be used to it by now, but I'm always surprised at the earnings required to place in the contest... I made close to $700 over the last two days and I'm currently in the top 200, but I'm fairly sure I'm going to fall out of the ranks by the time the contest is over later. I'm not about to hop on and hustle for an extra $50. I freaking hate low-bonus contests.

What generally happens, in a broad sense, when one ups their $rate per minute? I have not had time to attract many regulars on SM, and most of my previous whales are not going to become SM members. I am in my fifth week on SM. I am meeting my goals.

I cam on the side. It is a support system for making ends meet. I cannot invest in social media, website, etc. like full-time cammers. I invest in those for my freelance writing biz. But, I do not want to sell myself out too cheaply.

Is this a good time to up my prices?
