If I block a guy, will he know?
He has a show for under 10 mins maybe once a fortnight but as soon as he gets up EVERYDAY he comes to hang out in my room, until I log off. Just to admire me or whatever. It's lovely to have a fan, but also it's creepy and km starting to feel like I need to log off before I know he's going to come in.
He always sends a message in advance of wanting a show so maybe if I only unblock him when we're due a show?

^^^ He will know as you wont be visible to him but he'll get the hint and fuck off.

He will get the 'you've been blocked from entering model chat room' or something like that so he will definitely know when he tried to come in your room.
I make guys pay in advance if they want to schedule shows.
You allow him to park in your room like that? You have to regulate what's acceptable. That's creepy and rude as fuck. If he's not tipping or spending, he's just freeloading. Past spending doesn't excuse bad behaviors. You can't tell your bills I've paid in the past so now I'm entitled to not paying for a few bill cycles.

Thanks for the insights, I think I'm just being too soft. I'll tell him to clear off. He does tip occasionally but 10 gold every few visits is not worth it for me, he's in Canada so I make lesz than $3 on a 10 gold tip from him.
Thanks again! xx

Okay I am jumping on board this fan club thing. My husband and I sat down to crunch some numbers and I have published my fan club. Im going to give it a try for one month at least and maybe re-adjust after that. Cant wait until we can publish more then one though! Hopefully they expand that soon. Now I HATE giving discounts but there are some benefits here. If you have a client and he has joined your fan club he will be more tempted to be a repeat client. So where he may have gone to another model he might come to you cause he has already signed up for the discount so fans will have an incentive to be more loyal. Also I like that I can use it to send them a quick video as an incentive to not forget me. I wont be sending out any full vids but I will take some of my vids and turn them into some sexy clips and send that to my members so that 1. They think of me and 2. They will be aware of the video and I can then sell the whole thing to them either through SM, MV of OF as I have accounts in all those places.
I would encourage those of you who are skeptical to give it a try at least for one month cause lots of girls will and that will make them more attractive so dont be that model who isnt afraid to roll with the changes!!! Change is not always a bad thing! As an added bonus IF SM was smart and set this as an automatic rebill (I hope then have) Then you will make some money off a guy even if he stopped coming to see you or took a month off and who doesnt want a few extra bucks for no reason?

For those who've already played around with the fan club, will the fan club subscription link be something that can be shared while live streaming and on social media?
"Once you've decided how you want to set up your first club, check your account dashboard for a new "Fan Club Subscription" link in the "Stats and Feedback" section."

Was gonna withdraw my money on paxum but I can't withdraw using external card withdrawal it says "OCT withdrawals are currently on maintenance" When do you think it will come back? The only way I can get my money from paxum is through external card withdrawal since its instant I need it badly. I can't wait 5-7 days for wire transfer.

So right now the max we can earn on each subscriber at 35% is $10.50? But for video sales, we get 50%...
With all the fan subscription sites that pay models at least 80%, you'd think Streamate would catch on by now and offer a higher percentage for non-streaming endeavours.
Exactly! Manyvids, Pornhub, Fan Club memberships give 80% 35%????????????? no thank you. Give us 80% AND the ability/option to add these members to Gold Shows for free... then I'll think about it. It must be worth it to US FIRST, then to the member to encourage him to join
SM support sent a nice email talking about health related situation cause of COVID-19, what i understand is, models cant work in studio locations anymore and SM encourages studios to help models work at home if possible; i wonder how this will impact business on SM?!

All people conected at the same time is affecting my internet also.

Also, regarding gold shows, how do you set them up?
Thank you

Anyone notice under the new agreement in a part of one of the sections it says streamate and studio have the right to use and mention performer name, name AND any fiction names as well as voice? What is that about? Are they talking about that they have permission to use our REAL names or what? That's honestly what it sounded like to me. Anyone know.

I'm doing it. It's best for regulars to save a buck I think. I'm pushing it but no takers so far.

Oh I LOVE the free Gold show for fanclub members idea. I already post too much content everywhere and I get tired of constantly uploading. Having a fanclub of guys who can join gold shows for free is great!

This sounds like a personal thing with ur placement, my placement is ok and will go up a little after some time into streaming.
I see they change the chat fonts, how do u guys like it?
To me is a bit confusing, why they need 2 rows for a single message? Plus the background colors are too close to each other, hope they fix this.
ETA: Also, they dont show the real value of gold given when guys tip like til now, before i saw when a guy paid less for the gold (canadians, aussies) or more (brits, europeans), now i saw just 5 gold and the value was higher when checking the stats (british or european tipper); i want that back!

i REALLY wish they would have done a flat percentage bonus instead of the upcoming week-long contest... especially after they sent out that "we care about your health and safety!" email.
would have been such a better motivator while we're all stuck inside quarantining, and surely would have helped a lot of people out who are inevitably struggling right now.

I know Im late to replying to this but many girls dont have the equipment to work from home. also they may not be allowed to by the studio manager. im independent now but as a model who used to work for a studio, the one i worked for never cared about the girls health that worked in studio. theyd make us work shifts when we were sick and if we called out theyd fine us for missing a shift. there were times all girls in studio were sick at once and the mangers/owners didnt care. just cared about making money off us. idk what other studios are like but SM has no real control over what studios do. whether its because they dont know about the bad things going on, or just dont bother listening to models complaints (many did complain) but i dont see anything changing.

YES Macgirl. I haven't streamed in a couple days because I'm not sure I'm comfortable agreeing to the new terms. Name and signature. It's one thing to claim possession of whatever content I create, it's another to be able to post my legal name and signature. Also, what's the thing about personality? Are they don't to start doing fake AI chat advertisements using our likeness?

had two guys last night (one new guy, and one reg who I trust) say that they couldn't tip or do a show because it said their spending limit had been reached, when they both claimed that was incorrect. my reg normally spends like $300, and he told me he had only spent $10 that night. he couldn't tip regular gold, tip into a gold show, or go into a private or exclusive.
really frustrating... objectively the worst glitch on SM is when guys literally CAN'T send us money.
it's also a pain in the ass to tell horny guys to go to tech support. i don't blame them for being like "nah i'll just try again another time." it's a total boner killer for everyone.

I saw. I sent them an email saying I wouldn’t sign. I will not sign my soul away. Your identity! Your everything. It’s a straight up violation. I refuse to cam. I hope ppl saw. But I saw a lot of models on tonight. Sucks... In the last 3 years, I know I have made them good money in addition to myself. As have many of us. It’s not fair to tighten the noose when everyone is strapped. It’s not okay to remove rights. Especially personal information, especially if you read through the paragraph you explicitly give them permission to release your personal details and real identity whenever and however they see fit. I’m stranding on my 10. It matters. It borders on a violation of civil liberties. How can you sign away the future use of your own signature and identity? Especially during these uncertain times.
Shame on you for straight up taking advantage of everybody. Be careful. That’s how other brilliant companies are started.
I hope more people can take a stand.

Oh shit.... I clicked agree I skimmed it, but I haven't been on since December.... If this ain't even more of a reason to go indie I don't know what is, I need to go to divine with my playing cards because I've been feeling the urge to take this "Corona virus Panic" energy into settling & buckling down on fueling my indie pursuits... I think this was another confirmation without even picking up my cards yet, wow. :O

I never said you were enticing anyone. Interesting choice of words. I encouraged her to do precisely what you did and ask for clarification. That's the best thing to do rather than getting upset over something you don't understand just because someone else is upset. I too am concerned for cammodels and that is why I help out as often as I do. I tell people to contact Liz at SM all the time. Some do and some don't.

Regardless of SM's intent, technically speaking they are within their legal rights to use/make public any performers legal name, performer name, signature, photos, videos, and anything they've ever written or spoken on the site. They could use any of this in or out of context, in whatever capacity suits them. They can also use our personality, meaning they can impersonate us if they wanted to. I'm not saying they will do any of this, and I don't think it's helpful to panic. I do think it's logical to be concerned though, and to urge them to take the protection of their models more seriously if they want us to continue feeling safe working with them.

nothing really changed including name
we go through this every single time - you can go back in this thread and read the exact same freak outs
when ab5 went to effect I was expecting this. there are laws that have changed meaning sm has to stay compliant w the law and we have to stay compliant w sm .
Im am pretty sure a lot of this has to with that.
example: sm shares info w the company paying the camgirls (cal gems /resource edge?) such as real name.
sm is providing that company w info
