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. .

Ashley, all I can say is, it's not you. I have the same problem as you with traffic and customers coming and going without saying anything. It is what it is when there are 700+ models online. SM doesn't strike me as a great starting site for newbies anymore. Flooded. If you miss out on new girl status, you're screwed. I'm generally on page 3-4 and it's pretty darn quiet in my room.

Girls, I finally made it to Streamate hahahaha =D I'm happy.

I still don't make great money there as my connection SUCKS but now I'm sure I'll be able to have it good and it will improve a lot. But meanwhile, I've got two problems I would like to share (and see if I can't get any solution):

- I still can't run gold shows... I know I need some reputation before that, but what do I need to do anyway? It's not clear anywhere, even Vanessa wasn't clear about that :(

- This other one is more delicate: I've got this guy in my room, he comes everytime I'm online. It was fun when I started as he would talk to me even if my room was empty. He even had a pvt with me in my third day. But the problem is, as he's good companion when I'm alone, he's trouble when someone else shows up in the room :( he keeps talking about sitcoms, for example, when I try to hustle when my room starts to fill up... and I don't know how to make it work. I don't want to hurt his feelings because he's a client after all. But I cannot see how to hustle properly with him there! What do I do? Help T.T I guess this problem might be common, so I'm sharing. I've got another friend like that at SM but he helped me out, talked some with me and even tipped me in the end "for my time". This one doesn't T.T it's hard to get pvts with him around, but he's ALWAYS around =P oh gooosh T.T

I have clingy guys but they help and hurt your show and I have one that joins gold shows but distracts me from working ALL night ugh. Its so hard to run with that but he talks to me too. I feel your pain. I only see him 2-3 times a month tho so cant say he affects my hustle too much and hoping for advise as well.

MissSassyPickles
03-27-2013, 06:50 PM
I don't have too much experience handling these kind of guys so I'll wait for the veteran cam girls to answer that part, but for me I would think about it as a business decision. Is the amount of money this customer is giving you more or less than the potential money that you could be making without him? Or losing because of him? Simple math.

BlueBunny
03-27-2013, 06:54 PM
I had a couple guys like that and I talked to them if the room wasn't busy, but if it got busy, I whispered to them, sorry but I need to answer some questions from some other guys in my room, and I'll reply to you when I can..and then basically just ignored them after that because they just wanted to talk and waste my time, not even take me private. I felt bad doing it cause they were nice guys, but I'm there to many money not entertain lonely guys for free.

AshleyRed
03-27-2013, 06:57 PM
Seller, he shows up EVERY SINGLE FUCKING NIGHT :( at least I've worked 4 nights already at SM and he shows up after like 10 minutes I'm online. It looks either he got an "Ashley Red" radar or he's online all the time at SM.

MissSassy, he's not worth the money at all, but he's a potential. Also, I don't want to hurt the guy's feelings as he helped me out at the beginning and didn't leave me with the crickets when the room was empty. But now I start to feel the room is empty because he's there picking on my hustle time :( I found a little way out which worked some, I start dancing, and dancing... but after 3 or 4 songs I get really tired and out of dancing moves ¬¬

Really girls, I even put down like 2 kilos after I've started camming, so much I've danced already HUAHAUHAUHAUA... and had really sore thighs in the first week =P

You might just want to be honest w/ him. "I love talking to you, so why don't you take me pvt so we can talk some more? If you're not up for a show today, I need to give my attention to the many other guys in my room." If he won't shut up at that point, you can try again but be more forceful about it. Or simply INGORE him. He'll eventually get the hint.

As much as we like to be nice, this is a job first & foremost. Anyone standing in the way of you making money is a foe not a friend. You set the tone for your room. Let it be known that you appreciate paying customers.

AshleyRed
03-27-2013, 07:12 PM
Jess, I guess I'll do that and talk to him. It's really hard being like that, I need the money!

And is it normal guys login on and off your room SOOOOO OFTEN (different guys)... I feel like they come into my room, don't like it and go away :(

KillKeely
03-27-2013, 07:38 PM
exactly what jess said. I am the same way as you I think and I'm not really forceful or anything, but sometimes you have to be!
Put it in a way where you're 'really sorry but I really need to concentrate on the paying customers in my room tonight' every night. lol
if you let him continue what he's doing he'll just assume it's okay and he won't stop. being nice is not worth the $!

as for the guys coming and going, i figure they are just scrolling until they see something they like for free. don't take that personally lol

Aren't descriptions like these and adding that her name starts with a G going against the no outing rule?

I wouldn't like if people laughed about me "spazzing out" and you probably wouldn't either. Lets be kind to our fellow cam girls.

Besides that is sort of her "thing" she's very dominant and has the no bull attitude. Spazzing sounds like you are talking bad about her.

Ohh..I know which model you are speaking of. I have to say, I can really appreciate how she handles her room. She takes no bs from beggars. The way she tells them off has to make them feel like big fat losers lol. Some asshole was trying to give her a hard way to go about doing camming. She turned her cam around and show her earnings for that day and it was nearly $900 (6hours in). He was like, oh wow,... talking about his new job will be paying like that, it shut him up lmao.So she's definitely doing something right.

Well maybe I shouldn't of used spazzing I like her and was not talking shit about her I've even followed her on twitter and talked to her she is very nice as I've stated in my previous comment. She was very entertaining to watch I will remove my post I do not want anyone getting the wrong impression. I really don't want any drama from anyone on this thread.

@ Ashleyred; If you feel he is hurting your earnings then you must let him go as needed or permanently. I dont waste time on the certain all nighter I spoke of earlier and he gets it and leaves while I continue making money. He just wants a friend and all my attention. Its cool when its slow but not when the room fills. They will leave on their own and come back another day.

Ashleyred, that was happening to me and now I am suspicious that my clinger has found you after I gave him the boot, LOLOL. I have a very big heart but I also have a very big debt to pay off.

Even when my BFF was just being quiet in the room it hurt my hustle because I felt like I was being watched by him. It was weird. He would buy a long-ish session about every two weeks and I did enjoy his company so I felt like he should be welcome in my room. I had a hard time deciding what to do but eventually something happened and it hurt my hustle big time. I logged off only to see he had sent me a message that made it worse.

Then I realized if this one person was taking up so much of my mental space then I had to block him, and it was a tough love move from me to him as well. I am not saying the person in your room has gotten to this point for you, but I bring this up because if someone is making you wonder what to do, you can give it time and maybe something will happen that clears it up for you.

Or, you can block him from chat but not messages, so he can plead his case to you and you can decide to reinstate him. I have done this, too. Honestly, I do best when everyone in the room is on the same page, and the few regulars who don't have the money to spend are up front with this about me and contribute to my hustle in other ways–letting me know when I am lagging, suggesting new ideas for Gold shows, etc.

Do what you gotta do, sweetie. At the end of the day, it's not personal it's business. Even Burger King only lets you sit for two hours after buying something off the 99 cent menu, LOL!

@AshleyRed I have guys that do this ALL the time!! Once I realize they probably have no intentions of spending that day I will slowly just stop giving them attention. When they talk I give short answers and don't really keep the conversation going, but I'm still nice and don't get rude. I feel if he really wants my time he can pay for it. They eventually get bored and will just leave on their own. When they are ready to spend money again they will...it works for me!

^^^ I had to block a guy that bought a show few days ago and then sent messages about how he wants me all to himself (in real life) and started to come in my freechat asking how my work day was and when i asked about pvt he said he wont buy any anymore cause he wants me for real blah blah, i really had to block him cause he was doing not good to me.

I normally tell them i need my work space, i dont like to be watched when i hustle, i need my privacy and such, if they insist and disturb my work i block; i had to do the same with another guy that bought a few shows some time ago but not anymore lately, he will always come by a few times a nite with 'just came in to say hi', after a few mins again 'hi hru, how is work?', leaving and again 'oh just wanted to check on u', after a few of these i got tired of him and blocked his sorry ass last night.
these guys, why the heck will have to disturb us like this when they could log off site and watch us invisibly? i mean come on, this is not a dating site, u came to me and paid for a service, i did not state anywhere i meet up or want to marry u or be ur gf or move over to ur place, get real, i am here to make a living, respect that and come to me when u got the cash.

^^^ I had to block a guy that bought a show few days ago and then sent messages about how he wants me all to himself (in real life) and started to come in my freechat asking how my work day was and when i asked about pvt he said he wont buy any anymore cause he wants me for real blah blah, i really had to block him cause he was doing not good to me.

I normally tell them i need my work space, i dont like to be watched when i hustle, i need my privacy and such, if they insist and disturb my work i block; i had to do the same with another guy that bought a few shows some time ago but not anymore lately, he will always come by a few times a nite with 'just came in to say hi', after a few mins again 'hi hru, how is work?', leaving and again 'oh just wanted to check on u', after a few of these i got tired of him and blocked his sorry ass last night.
these guys, why the heck will have to disturb us like this when they could log off site and watch us invisibly? i mean come on, this is not a dating site, u came to me and paid for a service, i did not state anywhere i meet up or want to marry u or be ur gf or move over to ur place, get real, i am here to make a living, respect that and come to me when u got the cash.

Do you know how is it determined on which page of sm you are placed? I've blocked my country and I can't check myself (actually I unblocked it just to see, but I couldn't find myself, I have no idea why). Is it based on the earnings? Or on time spent, or both? If I stay and not make money is it good or bad for my placement?

I believe it takes about 24 hours for your geoblock to reset/turn off so that you can see yourself.

Oh, thank you, I supposed it maybe doesn't change immediately. And do you have some idea for the standings?

LOL! This is my fault. I always invite people to give me a 'drive by hi' if they can't stick around for a show.

You invented people saying hi? Damn you, woman! :)

There are a lot of factors that go into play, none of which we can be 100% certain on, we can only speculate.

From what I have gathered, earnings are a big part. Time spent online in free vs in pvt seem to have an impact. I have also noticed that when I log on regularly my placement goes up a lot. I was also told that ratings play into placement as well.

If you are logged on for long periods of time and are not making money, I assume this is going to have a negative impact on your placement.

If you log into your Streamate account and hover over Support, then click Tips and Tutorials it has a section on placement.

So there is a male SM model who came into my room and couple of times and I said I would check his room out if I caught him online. He seemed pretty cool in that he wants to get SM models networking to promote ourselves, though he didn't say how. Anyhoo I finally stopped by his chat last night and he said we should meet up.

It was just a bit of a shock that the male models would see SM as a dating site; it's bad enough that every chat guest wants to meet up. It made me feel super weird in addition to being concerned that he could get in trouble saying that in chat. Maybe he was just bored and blowing smoke?

Male models may have to cater to mostly other men, but most probably aren't really gay. If a male model came in to say hi to me, I'd treat him politely but just like a customer. Pretty much the way I treat female models while I'm working.

I've had male models come in to my room as well. Usually the straight ones use the site as a dating service and it's annoying. No, I don't want to check out your room, I'm working. I think they believe that just because they joined the site as a model I'm suppose to trust them or join forces with them or something like that.

Yeah, I know the male models are mostly straight, that's not why I was shocked. It was saying the words "meet up" that was weird but it was his stream not mine, LOL! Anyway it seemed like he was interested in getting promotions going on twitter so I was definitely interested in the promo aspect. He didn't take up too much time and I check out the male models anyway. Not for a meet up, though. Real people? Yuck.

Yes, it happened last night. I just noticed a lot of models were offline and now online again. I think they're doing some updates to the site.
