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.

I would say jack it right up! In some ways experience is an asset to this job but its not the deciding factor on what you should be paid. If guys like you they will pay what you are worth to have you! Even the guys that cant really afford you will pay it if they like you enough.

You're asking people to pay you for something very unique. There is only one of you! You're a rare commodity! You should be on the critically endangered list you are so rare! How much is that worth? I think its worth a lot!!

Also if you charge low you will attract clients who only pay low and those tend to not be the best clients. If you charge high you get a who different group of men paying for you time and in my experience they are much more civilized then those men hanging out in the bottom sector so put your rates up as high as they will go and give it a try for a week. You can always come back down if you want.

You always want to price what you are worth but the average rate on SM seems to linger around $4.99 private and $6.99 exclusive. This is where I'm at and once a bit more established I'll raise it a little every six months till I'm at the highest comfort zone for me.

Thanks ladies, I needed to hear that! I just raised my rates about a dollar but they're still fairly low...and $5.99 is the max I can charge for exclusive right now so I guess I'm on the low side no matter what! I really only have one regular that I really care about and I think he'll find a way to pay for me anyway (and he needs to start buying block sessions anyway instead of paying full rate and then sticking around for 45 minutes...what are you doing dude). I feel a lot better about streamate in general knowing that people are commanding much higher rates than I've been charging!

Just wondering if anyone that gets paid by wire transfer has got their money yet. Im in Canada and it's always in my account on Monday mornings but it still isn't there. I'm wondering if the holiday last week delayed it.

dont hold yourself back, Ive been at 4.99/5.99 for absolutely ages, because Ive been to scared to raise - I raised on sunday just by 0.5 each and it's made no difference at all to my shows - Im gonna keep increasing I think, slowly, but definitely doing it :)

people that want you will pay x

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.

My check just cleared.
Forgot that checks deposited on Saturday don't get cleared until Tues.
No big deal that I have to wait until Monday for it to arrive.

Email support right away and ask them to increase what you can charge! Once they put it up you can play around more.

Keep in mind that if you charge 4.99 a min and you do a 2 min show you just made 35% of 4.99 but if you charge 8.99 a min you might only get a 1 min show but you just made the same money for less work! Dont be afraid to scare the cheapos off with high rates you might just be better off

hi all! i have been a long time reader of this forum but finally made an account cause i need some advice...

i am a US model for SM and receive checks via mail and have for months and months with 0 issues. i always receive a paycheck on Monday unless there is a holiday which in that case i get my paycheck in the mail Tuesday. well the paycheck that was mailed out on june 19th i never received. waited all week the following week when it was supposed to come and...nothing. never happened before but stuff gets lost in the mail sometimes right? so i emailed liz and was told to request a reissue if i didnt receive it by Saturday so thats what i did. but then on the 7th of this month i see on my account that theres been a hold on my payments that reads...

"Hold applied: 2019-07-05 (GMT) Reason: A check was returned to us due to an incorrect address. Please contact Support for assistance."

so i email liz.....twice now over 3 days asking if that was normal when requesting a reissue and if i should expect to still get my checks normally and..... i get no response. she usually replies with a quickness so thats unusual but i think its because of the holiday shes not responding right? but then i see all of you are getting emailed back but im being ignored....hmmm okay awesome...lol.

on top of that my paycheck that was supposed to come THIS monday never came and its tuesday and still hasnt come.... and it was mailed out on the 3rd before the hold was placed. im freaking out because ...bills....

any advice? please and ty <3

go ahead and send her proof of your address even if you have done this do it again
its triggered the addy being wrong bc a check was returned putting you on a hold to receive payments
its annoying
been there, get it done by today to meet cutoff

07-09-2019, 04:14 PM
its funny she actually FINALLY responded shortly after i made this post...lol. she asked what my addy is and i sent it (just typed it not photo proof) because they already have that and my address still says verified on the payment page. she said shes going to talk to accounting about it.... i told her i never got it but have never had issues with them being delivered before. hope its resolved by today because i cant not have my money for another 2 weeks ill be fucked. sigh.

I still have not received the check with the bonus on it and it says that it was issued June 19th. Does issued mean mailed?

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'm not sure, but you can block someone only from your room and still allow them to message you. I've done this and had the guy message me and truly apologize so I've let him back. He actually spent money after that. You can always go back and change it and block him from messages at any time after that.

Thank you for this. I started 3 years ago at 4.99/5.99 which was the highest they would allow me at that time. They've raised my limit twice now and I've still never changed it. I need to get up the nerve to start raising it.

I believe issued means when the check was generated/created. Checks are generally issued on Wednesday and mailed out on Thursday. I usually got my checks on Monday unless there's a Holiday or things of that nature.

I wish SM would do direct deposit already.

Then it certainly should have been here by now as it's been like 20 days. Nothing like paying $20 for a lost check because they frigging won't use direct deposit

Hello ladies, I'm coming back after a long hiatus and I find this new smconnect thing. I usually use classic chat and I'm best with exclusives, C2C included, I found this out yesterday when I logged in and I didn't want to waste time with new software. I logged in with my usual settings and I made bank. Yesterday was a great day even tho it was slow because I've been away for so long.

My question is, should I invest time on smconnect, given that I usually work best with modest settings and one on one rather than party chat, does the positioning change that much that it's worth it to switch to smconnect? thoughts?

TIA

I'm with PixiieGirl here: I use SMConnect Web Encoder and place so much higher than FMLE. And like Pixiie has stated: there's classic chat which I utilize most.

With FMLE I'm on like page 6-8 and SMC has me on page 1. I'd suggest trying it.

Give SMConnect a try. You will have to eventually. There a 6 months left to get adjusted. Starting with 2020, all browsers will ditch Flash (old interface is Flash based), so you won't be able to use it. At least, using SMConnect from now on, will get you used with this new way of logging in. Honestly, besides the hideous themes (black or white, awful for the eyes), it's quite good. You can't do phone unfortunately with it. There is no option, but they are working on it. Besides that, everything is like before. And you don't have to bother yourself with no setthing. Smconnect is self setting and picks up your best specs to run on it.

Second this. I HAAAAATED smconnect when they first rolled it out and avoided it like the plague, but last week the broadcaster was acting up big time & I tried smconnect again out of frustration and I actually really like it now. My stream usually looks good, you can set up a gold menu and it takes like 20 min to fully get the hang of it. Plus you can set it to dark mode which is easier on the eyes when staring at a computer screen for hours straight.

I really love SMC but I went back to SMB because I felt like I wasnt getting the traffic with SMC. Im going to give it another go though because I like the platform a lot more and I love that on GS I get an extra Min at the end of the show to make it happen. That extra min usually rakes me in a few more tippers so more $$ for me!

My only gripe with SMConnect is it's harder for me to block guys.

Totally, this is my only problem with it as well. My blocking technique of choice is to have the block screen queued up and ready to roll so I can block after they leave, which is especially helpful when it comes to peepers. If they could make it so you could block after they leave like you can with the broadcaster interface it would be awesome.

OMG girl, yeeeees! I do the majority of my blocking that way ;D

PS- Love your screen name. Trifling indeed, LOL

What do you mean by "block screen queued up" I have no problem blocking those that deserve it lol any thing to make it easier for me!

Good point. I used the same technique and I actually wrote them to bring it back for Connect. I need that extra window. :))

When people peek in pvt, I used to press the block button and then get a pop up asking me if I truly wanted to block them. After they left, you could only block them from msg. But that's more than enough, cause you could switch from your black list and select "block from chat" also. Now on Connect, it blocks them right away, without any extra question. So you have to relay on your instinct. What's annoying also, there is no msg in the chat that you actually blocked them, you have to check it yourself after.

Just write to SM, as feedback, to bring back the old step for blocking. More people complaining about it might get us somewhere.

I don't really block people unless they are being mean/abusive, shamelessly freeloading/persistently begging or abusing the preview. Alot of the time I can tell it's going in that direction but I'm not 100% sure, so I wait until they leave and block them after the fact. I've had people tip me or stay into paid while I've had the block screen up with my finger on the trigger ready to fuck them off into oblivion forever, which is the only reason I have any patience when it comes to this shit, but boy do they try it!

Dumb question. How do you block someone on SM after they leave? If they aren't on my screen or in my messages then there doesn't seem to be a block option. I have to wait for them to come back. When I click on someone's name it ONLY show's that one person as an option to block versus a roster of guys that are in my chat. I use SM Connect.

You have to wait for them to come back. Hopefully they eventually change that cause sometimes they leave faster then your mouse click.

Good question, not dumb. Any guy who gives off a shady vibe I immediately click their name and have their notes pulled up to get ready to block. It's harder when in a private and engaging already, but if they're in free I just sniff out their attitude and cue up the block action. If they leave faster than you can pull up block then you have to wait until they come back.

A guy tipped me 10 gold but when I look at earnings, its showing that I only made $2.16 off of his 10 gold.......how is that even possible? I usually make $1.50 off of 5 gold?

Was it in a different currency? I didn't know until recently that if the customer is using a different currency, they don't pay the difference to convert it to USD.....WE DO. Complete BS.

It would have said " User sent x amount* then *(the amount after converted into USD) So a $3.00 gold tip was $2.16 once. Again, total bs.

Hi guys! I'm just getting back on Streamate after focusing on videos only for a long time, and I'd like to participate in the contest next week, but I have a dumb question. When it says that CamModel earnings aren't eligible for the bonus, does that mean the entire payment isn't eligible, or just the CamModel portion?

For example, if a customer uses my CamModel link and pays me $10, I'll get $3.50 from my regular payout and $4 from the CamModel bonus, for a total of $7.50. Does the $3.50 regular payout count towards the contest, and the $4 CamModel bonus doesn't? Or none of it counts?

Thanks in advance!

Just the extra bonus doesn't. Anything extra than your normal commission on the website. So those $3.5 will count, but the $4 from Cammodel, no.

I think those are external site earnings. You can link your website to SM and perform a show at the same time on both. I can't remember more than that. But there was a glitch door for hackers to see shows for free.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Really sorry, I have another question. It says video sales (like through your video store) don't count. But you can send customers videos for tips, right? I was just going through my dashboard, and I can upload a video and then send it to any customer.

So during the contest, I could get guys to tip me Gold for videos, and then their Gold tips would count towards my contest total. Right?

I'm trying to send a few messages to members who have done shows with me, but they are not showing up in contacts. They have not reached out first in a message and that must be why I do not have them as a contact.

My question is: how can I reach out to these members in message? I'd like to personally thank a couple very generous members who made my day Sunday.

Thanks.

I doesn't matter what you send to which member. As long as you get paid during a show, that's up to you if you want to reward customers with content.
They only mean sales made through your gallery, as "Video purchase", what customers buy separately straight from your videos.
If they make a deal with you: "Hey, I'll give you $100 for 3 clips in your store", then those $100 will count for your prize. Some girls actually disable the gallery during contests, so they can monetize everything for a prize.

Try copy pasting the user's code. For example John <938476374>. Sometimes it works without having them as a contact, sometimes it doesn't. SM is fussy about it.

Most of the time, if I can't say thank you in a msg, I just send them a video from my gallery. They love it!
