So who the heck do I get in touch with from Streamate? I've sent them two questions in their support mailbox and have received NO automated reply that they even received them. They force you to send al these irrelevant screenshots...My resolution is constantly in the red now and I don't even remember the second question. I was thinking of sending a third about the disconnection issues. I've had people now actually message me to tell me that *I* kicked them out of their room...during a private..now wtf would I do that? omg...apparently all the short sessions I've been having are all the site kicking them out of my room and them thinking I kicked them...I would have made a lot more...Ive given up on SM and dont take it seriously anymore... wtfwtftf Streamate this is killing our profit...How do I get someone to respond to me there?

edit: i did finally get some replies but they were pretty standard and didnt address the problem. i mean it always says my stream has priority placement but...the stream health is red...

...would you guys say 7.99/9.99 on sm is way to high to charge on the first page? I'm sick of 32second guys and I get less than $2 my cut for that so I'm thinking of being expensive to root them out. too much or should I stay at 5.99/8.99?

I think there’s only one way to find out. Try it and see how it goes. It works well for some.

I don’t know how you ladies stream for hours and hours at a time. A few hours in I’m tired and ready to strangle the next wanker who asks a dumb question or tells me he’s wanking to my pix or some shit. Don’t get me wrong, there were plenty of good customers in the mix too, but I’m moving around the entire time and don’t have the capacity for extended periods of social interaction. My hat is off to those of you who can cam all day or all night!

I would say up your exclusive rate. Mine is much higher then 9.99 a min And always be expensive. Work smarter not harder!

I'm with you on that!!!! Most I can do is 3.5/4 hours and I get cross eyed and the bitch look comes flying across my face. Heck 15 mins in I'm ready to kill someone. I am floored at these girls who can do like 12 hour shifts.

I'm 4.99/6.99 .... but if you are first page, established and have a great number of people that come in and out. I say up it. I know I would once I'm more known and doing good.

I have but it sucks my battery dry. Plus it doesnt tell you if you are upside down or right side up. I would have to be near a computer and pull up my stream to see. You cant edit your room topic or anything from your phone either.

Gold show earnings load up every 10 minutes. So at 10, at 20 and so on. Always even number. :)

So let's say you finish up at 4:22, then it will show up at 4:30.

Hey, anyone know how long it usually takes to approve address verification? I just moved and updated the address under payment methods, but I’m worried about my rent check if it’s not verified before things go out tomorrow; will it be held until it’s verified or sent to my old address? :pray: :-\

You can put a hold on your payment rather than have the check sent to the old address, i am just not sure where they will send your check now...

xxDarling
06-25-2019, 12:42 PM
I’d honestly be fine if they sent it to the old address, since my mail is being forwarded from there anyways. It’s them not sending it/holding it that worries me :(

KatM
06-25-2019, 12:50 PM
^^^ I dont think they will hold it unless u ask to be held. In this case if the address wont update in time they most probably will send it to the old one.

If it was going to be held, you would have a big banner at the top that says you are not compliant with Know Your Customer. You have xx amount of days to verify or we will hold payments.

Oh and they'll send it to the new address. I just went through this. It takes them about 3 days to verify it.

too funny how our words carry through the generations of models. I could never meet goal so I would just take shows. 15 minutes starting the show at 25.00 if that but more came in.
I was doing back to back and your words cut me in a good way.
sometimes we need to be reminded

Are blocked sessions worth it? I hate penetration so said I would do that in blocked sessions in my profile so I had time to like relax and work in to it but now I'm wondering if I'm cutting myself short by doing that since most models on SM dont seem to offer it that way. I mean I know some of the top models do but they also have a big following so can successfully.

I have certain toys I only use in exclusive block sessions and people do buy them. Try it out for a few days and see what happens. alternatively, raise your rate to what you feel penetration is worth (even in a short show) and try that.

Are blocked sessions worth it? I hate penetration so said I would do that in blocked sessions in my profile so I had time to like relax and work in to it but now I'm wondering if I'm cutting myself short by doing that since most models on SM dont seem to offer it that way. I mean I know some of the top models do but they also have a big following so can successfully.

I have block sessions enabled. I don't use dildoes. I have a tip toy though. And a huge strapon, that I never use on myself, of course. I have no problems at all, some do go away when hearing that I don't use toys but those were not my preferred audience anyways. Respecting your likes and limits brings back respect from the customers too. Enable your block sessions, and stick to whatever feels comfortable for you in them as well. A block session is a favor to them after all, as they pay a lower per minute rate.

Question - if I send a message to someone and then block them afterward (via their profile through the inbox), will they still receive/be able to read the message?

I believe so. Messages don't go away just because you block someone on SM (or because you were the one blocked). You have to delete them manually.

I wonder if they can see a "you are blocked" message at the bottom of a conversation since we can see a "they were blocked" message.

ok, that's what i thought. I blocked a reg who then made a new account to sincerely ask why I blocked them. So I responded, let them know my thoughts, said they weren't welcome in my room anymore, and blocked them again through the inbox.

As far as what they see on their end, I just figured if you block them, then they simply are unable to click a "reply" button and its more of a read-only format. Not sure though.

My check arrived yesterday, and I'm over the moon about it!:dance:
It always comes on Monday night.
I could get very used to this.
Because waiting a week and a HALF for money I already worked a week to make blows.

I got mine yesterday too. The last time this happened it was also around a federal holiday. Strange. I would think that would slow it down, not speed it up. Not complaining. Just odd.

Although, my $100 bonus that shouldve been on that paycheck from the BFF contest wasnt, so that still sucks.

Same. The only time I've gotten checks early was, usually around Thanksgiving..Ish. Always a national holiday. I thought too, that it would be the opposite. Because I've had them arrive late because of them.
* Makes me wonder if they get it to me on Saturday, why can't they do that every week? Hmm.
My bonus money wasn't included either.
Let's hope Liz is back from the long weekend holiday, and gets back to us today.

The check signer probably wanted to leave early. Same reason you are missing your bonus. Happens with any business before a holiday

Hey guys, I'm new here! I'm just starting my 4th week on streamate and haven't put in many hours due to unexpected schedule complications, but this week I'll really be ramping up how much I put in. Since I'm new and, let's be honest, probably not great at this just yet, my pricing is fairly low, but I've been quite busy and getting good feedback from the guys who've been buying. I'm wondering how often and by how much I should start to raise my pricing? What's worked for you guys? I'm worried about scaring off my current regulars and/or no longer having any business at all, but I definitely am not happy with my current pay rate.
