Possibly a stupid question, but what happens if you set a gold show up and don't hit your target? Do you go ahead anyway but just end up doing a show for pennies?
I'm thinking of trying one out as it's so quiet right now but I don't know if it's a bad idea!
You can just cancel it if you don't hit your desired amount. The guys don't get charged unless you do the show.
You can restart the countdown or just try to hustle guys into private at that point. Sometimes gold show countdowns are a good way to bring in traffic even if you don't go through with the show.
Personally I don't do low-ball gold shows anymore, even if I haven't made any money otherwise. (In other words if I haven't hit somewhere reasonably close to the goal, I will not start it.) It's not worth lowering my standards and letting guys think I'll do shows for super cheap in the future.

Thank you!! Yes I’d much prefer to cancel than go ahead and do a cheap show. I’d be annoyed with myself after if not and like you say, it gives a bad impression.
I’ll try one out soon!

been on Streamate for five years, never had the guts to do a GS. >_< I suck hahaha. Seems exclusives are my thing. But I wouldn't mind doing a discounted show for exposure. Maybe I should just look at it this way.

[QUOTE=Sweet_Sadie;3134070]Question: Why would we want to spend money on another girl? Is this for coaching purposes? I understand why a girl wants to enter in another girl's free chat (to see what her hustle might be). I've even had some girls pose as the guy, and I didn't figure out it was another performer until I started getting firm about starting a show.
Anyway, why would we book a show with another performer?[/QUOTE
I have a customer account. I go perv on girls I like, I tip them for flashes, watch gold shows, chit chat (they never know it's me) I like them and I appreciate them. I do this on chaturbate too, but they know who I am, so I usually tip offline with a tip note.
I LIKE tipping people I enjoy.
Tipping the camgirl I like and enjoy (without expecting anything in return) is a show of appreciation

Just got a message from some custie account ive never seen with a name like "iwork4jobs4flawlessgoddess_____(my username)" begging me in a very long message to be my paypig. I love a good pay pig but have never experienced something like this, it seems fishy to me. I haven't done that much findom but a good bit of the guys on SM who ask for it wind up trying to go offsite with me so I'm wary. anyone here have this happen?

Ask for x money tip to show his truly real desire to be your paypig.

If you don't login to your account for a long time, is it normal to be on page 10 with all the robo cam girls and bots? I almost feel like my account is broken. Is that a thing ? or is this what happens after taking time off? I get almost no traffic, because I barely had any favorites before... should I just start over with. a new account? thoughts?

what's a long time? if it's been 90 days, your ratings disappear, so if you don't have any recent ratings you will default to 4 stars. This happened to me after an absence and once I got back to 5 stars my traffic and placements vastly improved. You just have to stick with it for a little bit-think a couple of slow weeks.

I can't do a gold show to save my life but I can get 30 mins exclusives. It's not for everyone...I really think it depends on the kind of customers you attract, how many of them there are, how you are comfortable hustling, etc. I think gold shows are only worth it if u can hit high goals like when they first introduced this feature. But I have done them when I'm desperate to make another 10-20 quickly for cutoff.

Do we have any way to message a guy in this new messaging system before they message us?
I had my sound off and some guy went private and I didn't notice till he left! He was tipping me before and was really sweet so I want to apologize.
They at least need to let us message guys who have spent $$ on us.
I did send him a little video with the video system but there is no way to attach a message that I see.

I don't think there is a way but sending the little video was a nice gesture. Maybe he will message you back from that.

I remember a girl in these forums saying that if you switch back to the classic version of the inbox then it'll give you the option to compose and type who you want to send the message to.

for a model to reach one member he has had to have a previous mail convo with her for her to look him up.
We can only initiate convo by mass email to spending customers
I think its to keep us from harassing customers, idk tbh but makes sense

I received an email that French traffic on SM is picking up and they need french girls. I contacted the girl in charge of it and hopefully it will be true. From what I understood I will need to speak french only while right now I switch between both languages to make it. I hope this will help me getting more regular and money tho.

I have a member telling me that he has reached his daily limit and that messaged support to get an increase but they said he had to spend $300 before they would raise it? He "says" he's spent $275 so far? Has anyone ever heard this or know if thats true or if he is full of shit?
Also once a member reaches there daily limit, how long is it before it resets again?

Only once have I done a show with a guy who clearly reached his limit (I got the "user needs to contact support" message) and he actually contacted them to finish a show. All the other guys just shrug it off and leave. But anyway his limit was raised within 15 minutes, I want to say even less than that. But who knows, support could have just been on there game that day

Yes, lately they've expanded for the European and Latin American "market". They even have account managers for those regions (somebody for spanish, russian and romanian natives).
They are also attending more conventions. I think this month they will be in Prague and Amsterdam for some meetings with models and pros in the business. Liz even said she's having a talk with some payment processors (maybe they wanna resuscitate SMPay, who knows). You can listen to their podcast and see what the marketing team is up to (Chris and Neil are the heads of it, Vanessa and Liz join the discussion also, and sometimes they have extra guests).
SM used to get not social at all, they barely did any conventions or exhibits. But they are trying to keep up with the other big sites (Jasmin and Chaturbate, especially, both of those sites have a big following in Europe and South America). More models means more money for them. At the end of the day, if 5 models make $100 or 1 model makes $500, SM takes the same cut. More is merrier.

There is no real way of knowing. Support treats customers different. Some can have their limit raised based on their spendings, others have to wait longer. They talk with an actual person, so answers will be different based on the "admin".
But yes, if support doesn't wanna raise their limit or give them something extra, they need to wait 24h before it resets. I've seen people get an extra $50 or $100 after they finished everything and I've seen other being denied. Can go both sides.
If the notification you get is "user needs to contact support yadda yadda", then yes, he reached his limit. Don't bother too much trying to understand if they lie or not, it doesn't matter at the end of the day. What matter are the $$$. Still no show, if he's not spending because he doesn't want to or because he blew up his limit.

I guess I need to check out their podcasts then. More models is scary as it seems it has been more models to men on there, especially as of late but I'll keep my fingers crossed for more men that see this as a new site to them and come spending money like crazy on all of us!

It's because it's done through Epoch and a lot of cam sites are using that method. It kills me because it makes idiots think we can be paid directly with Paypal because of that. Also I hate that so many industries got their start profiting from us (I was around during the Paypal/Yahoo boom days) and then when they get successful suddenly they are too good for us.

It's called static pic and you can msg support to have it. This way you will have an avatar and not live screenshots.

Is it worth splitcamming on SM with sites like MFC and CB?
I've never used a token site but I'm wondering if it'll help to maximise earnings or at the least, increase them if I'm hopefully earning tokens on one whilst sitting in freeview working to get privates on SM?
I wouldn't want to go full nude in freechat anyway on those sorts of sites I don't think.

I do it.
It's not optimal and you need to really have a good computer/internet speed because your stream will not be good. Still trying to figure it out. Because, one day I will make more on CB, the next it's MFC, the next it's SM so I go on multiples sites for now. Or stream 3h on SM then 2h on CB/MFC.

I do it once in awhile, with 2 really good laptops. AND when I get a private on SM I switch MFC to a voyeur club show where they have to tip at least 100 tokens to spy
