Hi,
Anyone knows if wire transfers direct from Streamate are available outside US, as well? On Streamate it says not available for all countries, but I can't find the country list. And another option is the check via regular mail, is that available for any country? Reason I am asking is it seems I am stuck with Paxum, don't have their ATM card yet and that seems to be the only option for me to withdraw from Paxum. So it looks like I have no way to get my hands on my money for now?
Thanks so much

Checks are available in all countries BUT u dont wanna deal with checks, believe me!
It takes at least 2-3 weeks to get them depending on ur location then for me in europe it took up to one-one and a half months to cash the money, i needed to open a US dollars bank account and deposit these checks then wait for clearance to get my money plus the fees are high-ish depending on ur bank.
Wire is available for first tier countries (means north america, canada, UK, australia, western europe) and maybe some other countries but i was told u need to earn high to qualify to get a wire transfer if u on a 2nd or 3rd tier country.
What is the problem with Paxum?! Cant u make EFT transfers til u get their card?!
I mean, Paxum is still preferable than checks or wire, i assume u in one of the countries in south america or asia? (u said in the other post u not in europe where Cosmo is available or even colombia) so yeah, stick with Paxum and make transfers til u have a card cause any other option is more complicated, checks get lost a lot especially if they sent outside of USA, believe me i dealt with checks soo many years as back in years 2000 when i started camming there was no electronic payment method or any other method but checks.
I NEVER have potential members -hmmmm
Maybe because u geo-block? In that case u dont see any potential members.

same. just checked, the only bad new one I noticed was "pig" (lol.) usually when there's one bad tag, i find several more. was surprised that was the only one. although i do have about 100 blocked tags so maybe they just left me one I already blocked, hahaha.
i love being hated so much, means I'm doing something right :D

Is bottom of page 4 good during a contest good or bad?

This is a potential tip for the C2C Beta if your bitrate keeps dropping; it could be what you're wearing. I've had times in the past where I put on a (plain)shirt(when I usually wear skimpy tops) and then my resolution and bitrate started fucking up so I took it off and then everything restabilized. Just now, even though I have been having no issues all day I at one point put on a plain long-sleeved shirt and then my bitrate started dropping. I took it off and then everything immediately fixed itself. I have no idea why this is, I could understand if I was wearing something super sparkly or shiny but every time it happens it seems like it's always a plain, medium-colored, solid, long-sleeved top.

^^I remember being page 6 and struggling during contests so much so that I'd just make enough to cover groceries, gas, and GNO. What I can suggest is sticking to your schedule and STFO regardless as you'll be seen more and you'll get more favorites. If you haven't already...post your best image then ask support to have it set permanently instead of screen captures of your show (just sitting there isn't the best image to present to potentials).
Keep a positive frame of mind: keep your vibration up. Engage in a lot of self care. Your positive vibe is apparent, Elle...it will take you far as you work your way up in rank.

I don't think your position matters as much, as long as you have good customers. A few good hundreds, close to 1K would help you place the contest, maybe a little bit over

Thank you so much for all your lovely advice and positive support! I shall do just that :) I was wondering how some people always had the same picture versus me with random screen shots (usually unflattering like when I'm flipping my hair over to the other shoulder or mid-sneeze)
Hm what do you recommend for self care? I am treating myself to a minor haircut and a color at the salon tomorrow so maybe that will help too :) Aw thank you!

Do you have your "biopic" set to a picture of yourself? You would have to purposefully upload it the same way you would deliberately upload pics or vids to your gallery. If you have a "biopic" pic but you still see screenshots of your stream as your chat room pic then I'd definitely reach out to support.

Yes, I have my biopic pic and it stays as that for like the first 30 minutes or so of my stream then it changes to screenshots of my stream after I've been online for a while. Definitely need to get that fixed asap. I emailed support about getting the pause button and they said my account wasn't established enough for that yet so hopefully they won't give me the same response about the biopic!

I'm page 1 (around row 5-6) when I log on and have never even placed in one of these contests lol. That doesn't negate what you said though - I'm pretty sure that most of the contest winners are definitely page 1 models. But SweetSouthernElle I wouldn't get too hung up on your placement in relation to your performance during the contest. It has to be a collection of factors, with no single element being more important than the other.

Girl, you're welcome. & cut plus color is great self care & an ego boost. Right on.
I'd suggest, during your contest shifts, to eat clean (stay away from processed foods & refined sugar), drink half your body weight in oz water a day, listen to & repeat positive affirmations, do yoga, or meditate on breaks, & boost energy with green tea with raw honey.
Ohhh, Nita & I both listen to music during shifts. I have 2 playlist of damn good music I play during shifts to keep my vibration up.
These self care tips help me out tons. Elle, you got this!

They didn't really elaborate much beyond that. I've had my account for more than a year but I didn't start really camming seriously with it since like end of March? So I guess I haven't been camming for very long

Wait what? I know I’m a little late to the party on the lurker count discussion, but is this actually a sign of a glitch? I get weirded out if I’ve been online longer than a 5-10 mins and still have less than 50; 70-90 is more average for me typically, and it’s not unusual for me to hit 100 and stay there for at least a while at least once per shift. I thought that was good. Should I be concerned? WTF Streamate...

It's definitely not a glitch (unless you have geoblock on), they've had that feature for a while now. Pretty normal to see that number fluctuate during your shift.

Nope. 90+ members is definitely some regular shit so you're normal. I just never get that many during the weekend ( which is odd in retrospect) even though Sundays are my best days. Seeing decent numbers like that on the Lord's day had me confused lol.

Same thing happened to me about a year after I started streaming. I was told I wasn't established enough. I think they're trying to prevent split cammers. At the time I had a part-time job and I don't think I put in enough hours to qualify. I'm too shy to ask and be rejected again even though I think I'm probably much more "established" now than I was before.

When i started on SM forever ( 8/9 years?) ago I lived in the country - had horrible internet service and worked very sporadic and they gave me a break button and it was there when I restated my account recently after a very long break - A break button should not be a privilege -its a necessity to perform your job professionally and sanely - if it were me I would be politely messaging them every day until I had it - make a copy and paste email - they love copy and paste emails :bullwhip: ;D

I had a break button when I was on SM for three months when I had great internet speed in Okie City in 2014. Then I moved back to my lake house because I was done with why I lived in Okie City for a few years. I became disabled, so I began writing and camming because camming sure is less painful than other work because I can work in bed. I had to cam on CB for three years with satellite, and that satellite did a good CB stream for me. I tried SM several times on the satellite, but my stream had pixel sickness in the worst way. LOL
But I had a break button...

Apparently they have lengthened the free preview time. I time all my shows and I had two within the last few days that were short shows but definitely longer than the preview time that I did not get paid anything for. I wrote Liz about it and interestingly it's the one time she has never responded to an email.

It's probably a glitch or something. I have shows from this week with 1 and 2 seconds over the preview time and I got paid for them. So they didn't lengthen the preview time for sure.
Edit: Smconnect tracks time in pvt (in real time), so maybe give that a try to monitor your shows.
