i used to be that girl who would use the dildo right away or when they asked. i did hows today and long ones too and i never even took off my panties.. not even 1 time.
didnt even show pussy today. and made $170 or something.
i had to make changes.
it can be done. you just need to find your own way to express it to clients without pissing them off.
best bet would to say something like “I like foreplay before sex.” That sounds dumb, but make it about getting really excited before sex. If they give you shit give them shit and guilt trip “You don’t want me to have fun too?” “I’ll cum harder if you take your time with me.”
Can anyone tell me how to check my placement? I did a search on SM and forum search On SW. I took my geoblock off and looked up SM as a customer. How do I find what page I’m on when I’m live?

Getting really sick of being a nervous wreck when I login wondering if the site is going to work or if I wasted my time getting ready this morning....
If my bitrate and everything else is stable = no traffic
Bitrate unstable - shitloads of traffic
The new consistent glitch - I'm frozen unless I refresh the page and I have to keep posting notices to the guys in chat to refresh if I'm frozen. Always like this for about 20-30 minutes and then it works itself out but still WTF?
I remember when sites used to be a LOT more reliable and consistent and u only had a bad day if the guys weren't spending. Now all of these sites are a tech shitshow - never know what to expect anymore.......
WTFH?

Let me remind some of you that this is an International board. When you come here to complain about foreign models and your placement it comes across as xenophobic. It's already been stated several times how offensive it is to many of our members. And we don't need that here. Please be more mindful when posting. Thank you.

Good question. You'll have to search the pages for your room. If you know what your bio pic looks like you can spot it on the page.
But remember smart placement: you may appear higher up on individual member accounts based on their preferences. Example: you're a BBW. You'll show higher than petite models.

My post wasn't 'xenophobic.' I'm discerning the difference between the old placement and the new placement.
the old placement had all US models on the 1st page. the new placement has models from Colombia & Spain. That is a fact.
So the original question: why the sudden change in placement?

I was curious so I just now took a look in another browser where I have no login info or cookies - completely blank and cache cleared. I see a mix of models, majority from the U.S. and Canada with some mixed in from various other countries.
Maybe try looking at the site with another browser. It might be pulling in cookies data and resorting the page due to where you have clicked previously?

I think SM runs some promo for non US models. They did it with France, then with Brazil and so on. So yeah, for European customers, they tend to show “native” models from their area. Is a business decision based on catering to non english speakers, plus customers usually feel closer to performers of same nationality.
If you change the IP to Greece or Spain, you will see models from those countries. Same goes for UK, Ireland and other places of this world, except US. For US, there is no preferred placement regarding international models. So don’t you worry, considering most of traffic is US based, I wouldn’t worry about columbian chicks stealing no shining spot.

So here’s the thing about the multiple accounts, you really should check in with support.
But so many guys have them. Their credit processor is kinda “weird” it seems. I know it is the nature of an adult transaction but obviously SM's does something that triggers the banks’ response. I had on my customer account my bank flag one of many transactions. Money available wasn’t the issue so I tried the card again when Sm wanted their money. It wouldn’t let me add that card back and had to use a different card. So this probably happens to a lot of guys. Maybe they want to use their business card the one their partner doesn’t check, well now they can’t so they make a new account. Can’t really blame them, even though this is against the site's T&C
Otherwise the spending limit is way too low for serious money potential, at a lot of our rates with tips guys tap out quick if they get the high limit. I believe there should be a first show limit or something like that, but that is another reason guys have multiple accounts.
Then you have all the scammers and internet scumbags we deal with and you can see why they have multiple accounts too. (your regulars may fit into this category)

I'm not able to see how many performers are online any more. Has anyone else noticed this? It doesn't make a difference to me whether I log in or not but if I'm having tech issues I sometimes have a check to see if there's an unusually small amount logged on which could point to a site server issue.
^^^ I can see how many models are online, right now it shows 2085 Models Online, i check with Puffin Browser on PC but it shows with Chrome as well.

I believe the starting limit is no higher then 300. After that you need to give them more information, which probably isn’t that hard. It’s just something lots of guys trying to cum won’t do.
For others it’s lower, and can be very low if a guy signs up with a prepaid card. That is another problem that is related to their numerous jackoff accounts. Also these policies seem to vary customer to customer. If would be helpful is SM would provide their customers clear information about spending, but I suppose that would mess with some white labels’ hustles

Well, I have a friend from one of those countries. It took her 1 year and 2 months, to get from page 5, to first row, page 1.
5 months ago she was on page 1 bottom rows, averaging $150- $200 a day, now she's on top row, page 1, makes about $2000- $2500 per week.
She works 60 hours a week, 5 days on, 2 days off.
Nobody helped her with shit.
She just worked hard. That's it.
I only know about her case and how she made it, but there are other models that are not from US, who made it on the top rows, the same way, by staying insane hours on cam and eventually increasing their earnings and staying there. Once they got regulars, it was easier.
Yes, it's pulling teeth to make it on page and unfortunately (... or not) page 1 becomes harder and harder to reach.
Also, SM is like MFC. Quick money in a short time, gives you a boost. It's like an invisible camscore.
And then there's this placement for different members, according to ip, favourite models, etc, just like the other girls said.
I've seen how I jumped in a few weeks from page 7 to page 2, just because I had some good regs.
Now I struggle with page 2 (3, when it's 2500 models online) and finally planning back my 60 hour weeks on cam. I want my place back on the first page.
LE: Oh! And one more thing! since Jasmin became super abusive with their new rules (because, apparently, they are transforming into a studio exclusive site), basically forcing models to sit in front of the camera like statues, not doing anything sexual and suspending their accounts just because the camera was blurry for a second, or the position is not perfect, or the lights are not perfect and other bullshit, many moved to Streamate and brought their regs with them, wich, probably pushed them higher and faster.
This may also explain a sudden increase of latin countries models, because Jasmin used to be their main "home".

i tried LJ recently, i'm in the U.S and tbh i hated it. they dock you for any and everything. i was offered hourly pay just to get an email saying that i'll get docked half an hours pay per violation. the problem is every little thing is considered a violation. nuts. looks like they're slummy all the way around.

Jasmin tries to apprach that "glamour" type of camming, that happened back in the 2000's (nothing sexual in freechat, just classy and vanilla, the sexual stuff to happen only in private). Also, they want to be super professional, magazine- like, with perfect decor, perfect lights, perfect outfits and makeup (yes, even makeup, they would approach you and warn you if you don't look glamour'sih) and they became extremely picky about it. I'd say is abusive, but I realised that they are a private company, it's their site so they implement whatever rules they want, if one doesn't like, may leave. Just like I did. Overall, it's not a bad idea, because, when you offer expensive content, you atract members who are looking for this and it also, forces you, as a model, to become profesional. I think they actually want to target the super rich and wealthy members, they don't wanna focus on average Joe with $20 in the pockets anymore. Less members, but higher quality, so, they want the models to be at that standard too.
The problem is their live support, who cannot agree with some stuff and they will fuck you up, because they see things differently.
My example: I had a support admin telling me to change the decor, because it wasn't classy enoguh. I changed it and 2 weeks later, another admin came in and told me that the decor isn't classy enough, again. Then I've been told my lights are not good. I fixed it, a few weeks later, another admin came in and told me that the lights are not good, even tho, i didn't change anything since the last admin came in. So I gave up for now.
There are some studios who have exclusivity with Jasmin and they all can meet theese requirements without sweating, that's why, independent models are starting to migrate to other sites, because it's expensive to keep up.
It wouldn't surprise me if, in a few years, Jasmin would only allow studios to collaborate with them and not accept independent models anymore.
It's hard for me to leave the site, because you can make a shit ton of money there, but maybe when I'll move and have a proper camming room, I will try again.
My style is also glamour expensive- ish, so... it would fit.

Is the same for me, i start to doubt myself and wonder WTF is wrong here but reading ur post makes me feel better that it's not me only, must be the summer and the site and the corona virus and what not.
My placement tanked a lot so i geoblocked, now i dont see my position anymore cause it was painful to see myself behind all the studio girls from all over the world that are not even BBW's but are listed in the category.
This shall pass, i hope!!

I have had to STFO & stream 30-40 hrs a week to make 1k+. Yes I am feeling it. Sometimes I'll go a whole hour with just one hello & feel frustrated & discouraged. I've dropped in placement due to a lot lower hourly. It's brutal for sure!

This is the only the 2nd one like this at least to my knowledge. They also only rank till what 500? so really NO way to know yet.
ONE thing though, it looks like they got rid of the 25 hour requirement and with that the bonus. You WILL need to work 25 hours if you do not have a very high and consistent hourly $. They definitely crunched the numbers when they set up this contest.
