I have a gaming computer, professional lighting and an upload speed of 150Mb and at the moment there's literally nobody in my room, so I don't think it's speed-related. it's been like this for days =( I can't check myself cause I have geoblocking enabled but god knows where I am.Trying not to complain and think about other solutions to improve my income, but it's tough all across the board atm.

Me too top spec everything all sites are pretty quiet. I think its just peoples credit card bills after Christmas. Not worth getting into a panic over its just trying to stay positive and stay the fck on we all know it comes round again. They are bidding very high on NF which normally means its quiet all around

Was on SMConnect when I logged in, was beyond quiet and the "potential viewers" count said "unavailable". Now I'm on SMBroadcast and it's just in out in out. Nobody has said a word since I logged in. Potential viewers really low too. :/

This has been my room for 2.5 weeks. As long as I stay on I usually hit low goal. It's extremely frustrating however when comparing traffic and sales to Jan where I was doing well...but many ladies have said these months can be the hardest.
It's not just you. And it has to get better. It just has to.

Back on Connect now (so 3rd attempt overall) and it seems better. People are coming in and chatting. Yay! That certainly helps, it's a good start. I felt like there were technical issues this evening as it was fucked up.
After i yesterday streamed with SMB i got an email in my site inbox from SM Support telling they noticed i might have streamed with SMB and that the flash page will be gone in june 30th this year and to use SMConnect, get used to all it's functions and feature, so on; just curious, u too the ones who switched to SMB temporarily got the email?!
This is funny in a way but i like they care about me to cam with SMC, i just wish this site wont be this glitchy; they also said new features will come by til june 30th and beyond so i am hopeful they work on some nice things for us, with all the issues this site has i still love it and feel at home on SM, i dont like any other sites cause only on SM i can make my money and feel comfy on cam, it fits my camming style (pvt based).
ETA: i smell a contest, it's too dead not to have one soon

Someone on here taught me that if you look at when previous contests are, you'll find common dates. https://streamatemodels.com/contest/#contest-list Looks like the next one should be around March 8th.

Def no contest coming next week. Too late to announce a BFF contest (they usually send an email by mid previous week) and no major holiday events (other than 29 feb, which I don't think is going to spark any attention).
Just another day in paradise.
Low traffic before contests seem more like a myth for me. Low days are not new. We had them before contests and we will have them in the future also. The market is just saturated with models and websites. Tastes have changed and now money gets split more.

I notice they send the emails the end of each pay period as well.
I stream with these parameters and i am very low in the listings just AFTER the girls in pvt and BEFORE the offline girls in my category and it says i have no HD! Definitely i stream in HD!

Placement has been so weird for a couple weeks. When I don't show up I'm like "oh well" cause members still seem to find me and not just regs but new folks. Traffic has def declined for me the last 3 weeks, but I think it's like that due to what month it is. Same thing happened to me in June.

It affected my placement like a motherfucker. Sorry I couldn’t find a better way to say that. What you have to do is download OBS Virtual cam to go along with OBS.
So:
1. Download OBS Virtual Cam
2. Go to Tools in OBS and select “virtual cam”
3. Press ‘start’ and check mark the box that starts vc automatically when you use obs
4. Go to your settings in Streamate.
5. You camera options should now offer something like
hd webcam c920 (or whatever webcam you have)
obs-1
obs-2
obs-3
I always click on the first obs option and voila.
I’m good for taking screenshots of each step so if this confuses you then let me know and I’ll send you a pm.
I was unable to find a version of OBS Virtual Cam for mac; does anyone know if it exists?
Or if OBS still affects placement heavily? I want to try out the tip goal thing for gold shows but dont want to risk OBS fucking over my placement

I've been struggling to stream all day, constantly getting disconnected, struggling to reconnect, and now I've disappeared from the front page to who even knows where! It can't be great as I'm not getting any potentials!
How do I fix this? I've tried logging off and on and it's not fixing it
Edit: I've gone from my usual place middle of page 1 to middle of page 5, what's this about?! I've been busy today aswell!!

This is what I would try doing.
1) Clear your browser history.
2) Check to see if you have the most update browser.
3) Check internet speed
4) Close out any unnecessary programs running in the background.
5) Reset Modem.
( I think this might help in regards to connection issues.)
As far as placement- I have no idea- it's a mystery to me.

Thanks Essix, my connection is fine! It just keeps saying the stream has ended because I stopped it, and I definitely didn't touch it. It does that a few times everytime I press start aswell. It won't just start like normal. Hopefully it sorts itself out :/

What are you streaming with SMConnect or SMB?
In the past (and here recently) I would switch broadcasters to see if that helps the issue. Last night SMConnect was stable for me- but little traffic. Earlier this week I used SMB and that seemed to help.
I hope so too - I know it's stressful when the site goes glitchy.

In regard to placement, I have a member account and have tipped several ladies in different categories plus myself with no faves, but I'm showing up in rows 1-2 page 1 for all my categories except brunette which is row 5. And the top ladies seen on a non-account holders page 1 are showing up low page 1 for me and even page 2 sometimes even 3.
Placement for each members is individual and while the site may have you on page 2-5 for non-members you just might be page 1 or 2 for their member account.
This really can help relieve stress about where you're placed on the non-member's page 1 or 2.
I was sitting here seeing that my streaming parameters are Excellent (had my tab closed so i just saw the Excellent writing in green) then a regular tells me my pic is cutting off severely and then froze, i look up and see a crazy RTT jumping from 36 ms to 2000+!!! (i'll keep the tab open from now on to see all numbers).
I told him i'll reconnect shortly so he can return in a min.
The guy said he will return but then it took a while for him to show up just to tell me he had problems signing in and that he got an error. He left w.o coming back for a show.
Looks like their servers are funky cause it causes problems both on my end and this guy's end.
Anyone else?!

I had issues with my RTT yesterday.
I noticed some people were having trouble staying connected yesterday. I asked regulars if they were having connection issues and they said yes- told me the stream was freezing. My thoughts are that this may be affecting more of the mobile users.
I switched to SMB yesterday and it helped for some users not all though.

Well I'm back to 4 stars cause members cant be nice enough to rate after their shows or tipping of gold. Now I dont even want to log on I'm so demotivated. I mention it to the guys but they dont seem to listen. Do you guys have any tricks for this to get them to rate more?
BambiCutie

Don't let the rating get you down. The worst thing you could do is spike yourself should you not login and let the account go inactive. You also risk losing your audience by not having a schedule set in place.
(Should you become demotivated and not login)
There are a few tricks you can use to up your ratings.
-------------------------------------------------------------
1) Flirt or sweetly mention at the end of a good session for them to rate you. "It would make me so happy if you could rate me." with a giggle or something cute. (Use your charm)
Don't be disappointed if they end up rating you 1 or 2 stars or 0, just get back on cam . (Hustle)
2) You can have a placement for those who leave reviews or show your excitement when they do leave a rating. I often had clients come back in the room after a session for a short conversation or waiting for some acknowledgement after leaving a rating. (Like a shy dog waiting for a bacon bit)
3) Stay on cam longer and gain more loyal clients to even out the bad ratings. Unfortunately there is no way to avoid receiving 1 star ratings, but this becomes less important the longer you remain on cam.
4) Block the minute users that take you to private, only to quickly end the session and leave 1 star. This will seriously help sort through those who make the majority of bad ratings.

Good advice given up there.
While I've made less weekly for 2 weeks (it's happened in the past) I dropped 6 rows due to a lack of ratings. Previous slow weeks didn't result in falling so far. Now I'm pushing hard after shows for ratings.
I say "hon, can you do me a favor & rate plus comment on the show?" Every member has rated, but not everyone comments. So asking truly helps.
Dropping so far in placement did bum me out until I checked my member account where I tipped myself & several other ladies in different categories & found I'm page 1 high up.
You've got some followers. GTFO anyway. It'll be ok.
^^^ I am not getting a lot of ratings here and this because guys dont bother to rate if not asked or they cant rate or they exit the window w.o ending the session properly so they dont get the option to rate.
I used to ask them to rate 5 stars and still do sometimes but some dont have the privilege to rate i guess, i think not every member can rate; i dont care about the comments but i do care about the ratings cause they really matter with ranking.
I saw some room topics saying something along the line "give 5 star rating after pvt and u receive a video", u can also save a preset message to send when in pvt telling about the rating and a sweet incentive (pics or vids), this if u type, if u talk then just say it out loud u'll be happy with a 5 star rating (not just rating cause they think any number is ok lol but we need 5 stars).
Good luck and dont despair, u can always go up in ranking izshadow!

You can charge whatever you feel like! Personally I'd mess around with the pricing a bit. I started on the lower to get as many people in the door and rating me as possible and then hiked my rates up a week later so I had the solid ratings and boosted ranking on the site overall. But try it, see what your hourly earning/time in private is like after a few days-a week, then readjust your rates accordingly!

I am the only one who sees the 'circle of death' when entering chat rooms?
For example when checking my own room i see myself for like 2 secs then it goes all black and the picture is not coming back; i look thru VPN as my country is blocked and i dont know if it's the vpn or the site's fault for this, people enter the leave my room right away. Anyone else pls?!
