I got excited to see the bonus days but then read closer and see you have to stream at least 10 hours in two days. I haven't pulled a 5+ hour shift in ages, so I doubt I'm gonna get that bonus. Sigh. I don't recall if there was a minimum amount of time you had to work to get bonuses in the past - I just remember those rare 30% bonus weeks and being really motivated for those.
Also quite displeased that they are doing contests that accumulate the entire week now, instead of just your best three days... It's super discouraging for models who can't work long shifts every day. :/
I feel your pain. I LOVE any chance to make extra $$$ but with covid-19 and school being out, I have a minor child in the house THE WHOLE TIME! OMG I can only "sneak and whisper" a few hours a day at most. Thank god I bought a good microphone last year!!

Is this normal? I've only got 5 categories I'm able to choose from on streamate?
I've had my account for ages but never been able to do a gold show and in investigating placement couldn't find my profile anywhere I would expect....cant work out how to post my screen shot in but I'm able to select from these categories :
Pregnancy (I'm not)
Toys
Housewives
Tattoos
Piercings
^^^ These are 'special attributes', kinky if u may, if any apply to u; i selected Toys and Housewife

I've got kinky attributes as a different section and it has about 2 dozen options of which I'm allowed to select 5.
The title is just "edit categories" and only has the 5 I mentioned as options. I've looked at all the editable parts of my profile and there's nowhere for me to select things like Brunette, Big tits etc, things that are listed as categories on the front page.
^^^ That u can edit in Edit Personal Statistics, scroll down to see all the options, Bust included
I see they recently added Waist and Hips also the measurements for Bust

I just did the firmware update on Lovense Connect. Its been prompting me to do it for a couple days. Im here to warn you all NOT to do it!! My toy still works when guys tip but it never stops vibing. I have to manually press the button to make it stop now. I am going to send SM an email about this and I hope they can fix it. I will let you know what happens.

Earnings aren't updating AGAIN!!!! So tired of this bullshit. Hey, but let's have another fucking contest...9 days this time! Because we all love them so much and the site isn't glitchy as fuck, so why should we spend time fixing shit when we can just have CONTESTS?! I'm over it. Streamate can stick their contests up their arses. They can also take the passive aggressive messages and shove that too.

as much as I really wish we were all fuckin banking I am REALLY GLAD to hear it's not just me who is not getting SHIT for traffic on SM tonight. I had a regular stop by and that boosted me a little but were it not for him, I literally wouldn't have made ANYTHING

I wanna bust out alil rant here lol
I am kinda annoyed at the bonus week cuz we HAVE to work 10 hrs and make $500...
I don't get why we cant get the bonus even if we dont work 10 hrs as long as we still make the $500.. lame
DeepThoughts
05-22-2020, 11:31 PM
^^ You dont HAVE to make $500. You can make whatever and still get the bonus as long as you put in 10 hours.
Jtothespoon13
05-23-2020, 11:08 AM
thats my point lol
its super hard to get in 10 hrs but I already made the $500 mark yet Im still over here trying to get the final hrs to make it 1 0 hrs lol
I feel like were being punished for doing well lol
My opinion it should be make $500 then U get a bonus OR work 10 hrs cuz some people can make the 500 mark in way less time then 10 hrs
Jtothespoon13
05-23-2020, 11:12 AM
oh ok erm Im over here re reading the post on the bonus days and it says you have to work 10 hrs to get the bonus and the 500$ mention was just an example lol
wow blonde moment lol

I’ve had a fantastic week on SM. The traffic has been coming in thick and fast and and I’ve hardly had time to take a breath between shows. And the tips have been generous. I raised my prices half way through the week and admittedly have put a few more hours in, it has definitely paid off. The few weeks previous were like pulling teeth so this was a nice change.

Streamate gives you a step by step. It doesn't connect till you're logged in though and sometimes you need to refresh a couple of times for it to recognise and connect. Mine wasnt connecting this morning and I had to refresh 3 times.

You mean when someone takes you private? I have in my description that I am topless only in private and I keep my tip vibe in for added pleasure if they want to do so. Exclusive I typically dont leave it on/in since I'm full nude and performing more.

No but for the past 2-3 days my stream has been freezing and I had sound problems today too. It shouldn't be an issue on my end going by my internet

Seems the only time I really have major issues with SM is when there is a contest - guess those days I'll cam somewhere else LOL That's going to KILL my income this week with shark week lurking next week - I'm screwed.....
Today I would freeze for about 15 seconds into a private - black screen on their end and everything frozen on mine. It would resolve after 15 or so seconds but of course the guys are impatient even when I told them it would happen and just to wait it out until it resolves - had to kick one guy out finally because he (no joke!) kept trying for about 15 minutes straight but wouldn't answer questions or follow directions.... and guys in public chat were tipping :banghead::banghead:
I've been LOVING SM lately BUT NOT when there are contests - SMH

When you click on "go private" it only shows the private rate when your a new member. How do you get it to pull up exclusive rates? Or do you have to pay that "activation fee" in order to see exclusive rates?

They have to tip 5 gold to have access and even see the rates for exclusive shows. Take the opportunity to recognize that these are new users and sell the shit out of your exclusive and get a tip.

Ahhhhh okay thank you!!!!! That would explain why he was getting all flustered, I'll let him know to tip the 5 gold.

Has anyone ever had 5* ratings disappear off their ratings? I'm not overly bothered just noticed my ratings count is different to what it was when I first logged on and wondered why!

I only notice mine disappearing if the same member rates me again within 30 days or so, I don't remember the exact number. They will only count the most recent rating.
I really dont get it why some models are allowed in the BBW category when they definitely slim (not even curvy), guess they just want the exposure as the number of BBW's is smaller than Slim or Curvy.

We can't choose most of the categories we're added to on these sites. SM probably has it in their code to automatically add models to certain categories if they hit a certain threshold. Like say if someone is 5'6 and weighs 150 or more SM code is probably programmed to add anyone over 150 to the BBW category. Wouldn't surprise me they coded the categories pertaining to weight based on the BMI scale. BMI isn't always accurate or realistic. Often times it will say someone is skinny, heavier or obese without accounting height, body type and muscle. Some of those girl may weigh more than you think, they're slim/skinny but their weight may classify them ass BBW due to the outdated BMI scale.

Hello there!
Can anyone please enlighten me, as to why I cannot, for the life of me, upload pictures on streamate? I had some very veeery old ones that I deleted, and now when I am trying to upload it's either telling me that I need the Flash plugin (which I do have enabled in both Chrome and Opera browsers), or the page starts...flickering, and it's written in red that I need to enable cookies, which are, also, enabled, and I have Streamate added to the list of sites that I am accepting cookies from. I am using Win 10 with all the updates, and I have a good i7 desktop PC that otherwise is working great with the SMConnect and other sites. This is really way past my brain level, so I thought I should ask in here, because we all know that emailing smsupport would be a lost cause, in this case..
Thank you and I wish everyone a fab day!

^I remember someone having this issue years ago. I don't think a solution was ever found though (probably because the issue may have not been on her end). The only things I can suggest is to restart your computer and try another computer/device. If trying another device works then you know its your computer. If its your computer you may need to do a factory reset (make sure you backup everything of course if you do).

Only the most recent rating from a customer counts. Which means if I a guy rates you twice, his first rating will get deleted and only his last one will show.

How do you ladies deal with the guys who come on and say “I’m new on here, how do I work the site” or “it’s my first time, how does it work?” Or anything along those lines?
No matter how sincere they come across initially they nearly always seem to be trying to lure me into giving free attention out of me. Every now and again they’ll genuinely want to understand something and tip or/and take me private and turn out to be a great customer, so I don’t want to turn them all away but I don’t know how to filter them out so I don’t have my time wasted.
Is it reasonable to ask for a small tip to explain it?
kamiliam
05-29-2020, 02:03 AM
I think you will lose them if you ask for a tip to talk. Since I don’t do anything else for free I often have these convos. I get to seem flirty and charming while reminding the watchers logged in or not what I offer and how much. It’s how I constantly sell. If they annoy me I just tell them I told them their options, and they need to decide. Then I ignore unless they say something that is beneficial for me to talk about.
Also a lot of these guys don’t have any clue how the site works, it’s not like SM helps them out in anyway. I’m used to being IT and customer support at this point.

^^ I do this as well but I remember someone here had a Signature that said "I only do IT in Exclusive". That always made me chuckle.
Sadly making convo with clients who may or may not become spenders is part of this gig. In sales jobs you will learn that you should treat every person who comes through the door as a potential client. You should never rule anyone out because despite what you think you cannot tell the spenders from the non spenders. Also if they arent spending today they very well might be spending tomorrow and people remember when you treat them like they matter and they will come back to you.
