No. Nothing they ever disclosed. But SM has a pretty chill attitude about it. They always advise girls to kick/block people if they get rude or "abusive". I listen their weekly podcast and for placement they mostly talk about consistency on cam, good specs and money, which is common sense.

For the record, I have over 1K blocked people right now. I used to have even more, but I feel merciful from time to time and unblock guys from ages ago. Don't think it matters for my placement.

Sometimes they can. I have checked with my member account. Sometimes there is an icon that kind of vibrates and says "My live vibe" or something like that. Other times it's not there so I guess it's random.

Hello I was wondering what are your ladies experiences with gathering Euro/UK clients, as in which times work the best. I know times aren't written in stone, but another model told me 10 pm - 6 am PST is optimal time for her. Any other input? Thanx

Also I hear that Streamate has daily pay as an option now? If so how do I go about that? I'm currently with Boleyn Models, although I like the bonus they give - I don't see myself working 6 days a week frequently to get it. I kinda want my extra 5% out of the little 30% I already make lol.

This is a half joke and %100 serious inquiry, but does anyone want to team up against streamate and their team to bully them into giving us a wishlist for the holidays lmao. Ive already started tweeting them for it, but im thinking of a respectable amount of spam to the mods asking for such. It wouldnt have to be outside of streamate, a bunch of sites had in site sponsored wishlist's that customers could still buy from confidentially. Ive had a influx of guys wanting to buy me specific toys or lingerie, who back out when they realize how much more then the amount they would have to pay me to cover it after SM takes their fee. With all the insite work they are doing with the layout and platform I think this would be the perfect time to really lay into them as a team that this is a feature we would like to have. I might be wrong tho, this might just be a cheap ass me way of not wanting to buy new toys every few months.

^^^ I want a wish list, yes tho i dont have social media channels i use for work, maybe u guys who have more influence can determine them to give us the option.
This regular i have wanted me to buy a specific toy but he did not like the one i got cause it is 'too small' for his taste, now he wants to buy me a 'proper toy' and i cant direct him to a wish list, i feel not comfy to ask him to tip me such a high amount to buy that toy myself from my cut considering i only get 30% on SM.
I also dont wanna spend for another toy on my own, i already got one for him cause he is a good reg, pity he did not like it; he is willing to buy me the toy if i had a wish list but i told him we dont have this option.
Yes its about time we have a wish list on SM!

I don't get good EU traffic, when i switched my country to UK i got only UK guys but asking me if i lived in london and if i wanted to meet up ugh, i had to change it back to mine lol
Traffic from EU must suck so bad i generally get guys from AU, MX, US and JP, some from chile and peru but not as many, from Spain i get just a few.

While I certainly dont have any leverage on my own, I think that if we where to all band* together and tweet them all at once over the same couple of days, they would atleast have to take notice! Could put HD webcams on it, and Mics as well and it would be a killer way to help make sure all performers worth keeping on the site (cammers who can convince someone to buy) have the proper equipment to do so. I agree, I just cant get anyone to agree to pay me 3x what the toy is worth to buy it. Even the ones who believe we only get our percentage see it as a ripoff, and toys... QUALITY TOYS arnt cheap. I have a client right now who is incredibly dependable but wants me to buy a $130 custom toy. It would be over $300 in gold for him to buy me that toy.

How do we get american guys? I have this same issue on every us site, i get a few americans but 99% uk. I already have my uk guys on aw thank you very much, i want some AMERICANS lol

it might be time you're on maybe? I tend to get more American guys if Im on when it'd be just woke up, or after work, time for them

I have the same issue on not getting any Americans! I seem to get freeloading UK guys on there and I have enough of those when I go on AW free chat ha.

I thought UK early morning would be good for US guys but perhaps I should be going on a little later so it's early morning for them (well some of them) rather than the middle f the night!

I've been back on for 2 weeks now and tried gmt afternoons 2 - 7ish, and late nights 10 - 4am ish. I just get uk guys lol, it's like the Americans are either not seeing my profile or they don't like uk girls. I've about as much chance of trying the early shift (5am - 12pm ish) as a chocolate teapot has of lasting through afternoon tea. I don't do mornings! Perhaps that's where they all are! :D

That chocolate teapot thing was quote of the week:D

I hear you. I think there is the odd one who is really keen on the accent but I have a feeling we are not coming up - unless they're specifically searching British girls. Which doesn't seem to be very common, as you said! I'll let you know if I do get any. Got on at 9 today, all English guys. The only show I had with an American was about midday UK time.

11-15-2019, 10:27 AM
I’m British and I usually get quite a lot of Americans! They seem to be less prone to freeloading than the U.K. guys. I get some Aussies too occasionally.
I always get some on a Saturday afternoon and I tend to get a few working evenings/nights. Not as many working mornings though!

What's a good "Newbie" rate. When I first started my rates were in hell 2.99/3.99 now I have them jacked sky high because I cut myself in the beginning now they're 5.24/6.99 is that too high? I changed my prices so many times I feel so bad & plus I'm inconsistent so idk what I'm doing lol or if it's just whack a mole pop in and out season it's setting my anxiety a little off.

Personal opinion: bare minimum rates should be 4.99/6.99

When times are good my usual rate is 6.99/8.99
When it's slow as piss I knock it down to 5.99/6.99.

something is always at 6.99 lol.

I felt this so hard. If I bullshit this week away then next week is gonna be so high stress that I just might up and die. I have less time available to cam now but my vanilla check won't come in time for these bills so I just need to be a good little internet thot and stop bs'ing.

I like $5.99/$6.99 until I start to get busier and more well known then I may raise it like Nita's rates are when she is busy. I tried to go lower then that and it was like a punch to the gut when I saw my earnings after a show.

It wasn't until I went on Boleyn Models and read through some of the blog posts that 4.99 should be the lowest, by then I had a month worth of people who seen me at piss poor rates... It made me mad when I saw my earnings as well... Scrambling to get dressed after a show and only seeing $3-6 afterwords, And when a client 'thanked me' for keeping my "prices appropriate" when I got done playing around with them, and ended up going back to the original. I snapped internally I knew I had to be selling myself so short. I'm too diverse and talented to be on cam for less. It'd be different if it was indie... But it's not lol.

I feel like I might give up on SM or just come back to it later... I think I might be forcing it overall, just like I did NF when I first started SW. All the girls raved about it, and I hated TTM... Come back a year later and TTM (Talk To Me) has made me more money now than when I was dwelling on NF first time around. Funny how that works lol. I Feel like I wasted too much time on SM today. I'll be experimenting with cams, & signing up for other cam sites. Hopefully this week I can make enough to get a USB Hub so I can start split camming.

handling streamate with other sites makes life so much more easier.
I swear every cam site has their own culture

I always do much better and if one site isnt doing anything more than likely the other site is so it doesnt feel like your day is lost

I always did well splitting streamate with cams.com or imlive.com
I did not do well splitting w MFC but thats just me. I do well on mfc lone.. if I would log on lol

It wasn't until I went on Boleyn Models and read through some of the blog posts that 4.99 should be the lowest, by then I had a month worth of people who seen me at piss poor rates... It made me mad when I saw my earnings as well...

they complain but its like most guys only want/need 5-10 min shows. that times 7 or 8$ a minute isn't much at all for what we are offering (live, customized porn). they just frame it like we are soooo expensive but that's not true at all, they are just spoiled by cheap/free porn

Umm. Is there something I'm missing about block sessions? I just accepted a 15 min block session and the guy left after 2 mins and I got paid per minute rather than the entire block session?

Unless he got cut off, he was getting the discount and leaving. I don't want to post the exact time before they get charged but if you look on streamate support and search block sessions you'll see when they start to get charged for the entire block. I think it's so unfair they get the discount without staying.

This happened to me yesterday. I made a note on the guy on his info and if he tries it again I'll block permanently (only reason I didn't is he has done shows in the past and it was an easy one and he was polite so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he got cut off). One more strike though and he's out.

Thank you so much for the info!

I am pissed now though, that fucker. I hope his dick falls off and it hurts a LOT!

^^ Here's what I do. If it's a block session I always start the show out just talking and getting a feel for what he wants and grabbing any props I need for the show. I tell him since he bought a block we have plenty of time to feel things out so I can be sure to give him the best experience. This way, if they leave before getting charged the full block they didn't get to see anything for a discount.

I've seen a lot of girls rooms saying "I'm taking a short break" recently, how do you do this? Also, does anyone know when payment is sent for ACH?

There is a break button that looks like "pause" symbol on the broadcast window. I have it but I can't remember if you have to request for it. Hopefully someone will chime in.

I didn't have to request it. I've always had the option to go on a 10min break.

No, you don't have to ask for it. It's just as much an automatic option as the "start show" button.

Not all girls have it. I think is built in only for american models, because much xenophobia. :) I had to ask for mine and so had other european models. I even know people that were denied having the button for reasons as: "we give this button only to our exclusive models, is not meant to be used by split camming girls". So yeah, keep in mind SM is not the most politically correct platform, they treat girls based on their location.

I'm a US model who opened their account end of 2010. I had to request it when I started back up seriously in 2018.
