^^^it finally picked up but it was in and outs most of the evening until now. I got a few nice long exclusives. Hang in there. Camming is really like running a business-lots of sweat equity. It really only takes a few horny guys, but it dealing with the bullshit between that makes me want to cry.

My inner whore came out and I started making a little bit more by being more aggressive. You can’t be passive. Guys will just WASTE time if you don’t nag them to tip. I’ve always had a soft sell and made money by genuine and kind, but then guys take my kindness for weakness. I’ve been better about making sure to turn the conversations into privates. I have had guys that I was nice to and they did spend money later. I want to be greedy whore without looking like a whore. Break times over nice talking to you.

Sorry if I missed this, but are you guys experiencing crazy placement issues? I should be on page 1 and number 1 in the pregnancy category right now, but I’m halfway down page 2 and near the bottom of the pregnancy category. It was like this when I last cammed on Tuesday too.

This week on SM has been record breaking. I was at 3% in paid yesterday... literally one 6 min private after 184mins of being online. Nothing but poppers trickling in, and my potentials has been around 5-10 max wheres normally its 40+. I'm on the front page in the US and EU also. I got new lingerie and have been looking cute as hell, but no one wants to even waste my time or sit and stare at me... what gives? There's someting rotten in the state of Denmark, methinks.

I emailed support and my bio photo was finally approved, 13 days later. I uploaded a video yesterday afternoon and it was approved immediately when that usually takes up to a week for videos. Not sure why! I assumed the vid would take a week so I uploaded it ahead of when I needed it. It's all good. . .

With how slow its been I am nervous about the contest next week. I plan on working 40+ hours but this will be hard if there are no users.

Same here. I dont know why I got a signal in my Amazing brain and for fun tried to open an old account I had in another website and is working in the same pc. That means that now I can split cam with streamate. Have 2 webcams so yeah, why not. Thx Lord I did that cuz now SM and this other site, work smoothly same time. Im gonna do that this whole weekend to compensate. Bad thing is that I have to invest the time because my ranking is low af but I know something will be earned. And the bonus next week? Im positive but if I earn one, will be used to compensate this week that have been Brutal for me. I started streaming again on tuesday and was Good¡ wednesday and yesterday? Miserable. Lool lol. Get ready water and snacks for this upcomming week. We will need it. Hugs

... and the day after having my worst day in camming history, I had my best day. I was only at 30% paid and traffic was still shit but having raised my rates & having a few regulars come by (including two findom regs, thank gawd) I pulled 75$/hour average for the whole day - a first for me- whereas I was at 10$/hour the day before.

What a roller coaster this site is. I'm not gonna get my hopes up that the tides are turning just yet but HANG IN THERE everyone!!! And RAISE THOSE RATES!!

Just read the message about the latest contest 1st place: $7,500! My god is that the highest they've ever done!?!!? Usually it's 5k or 2k. Really makes mfc look like they're giving out crumbs with the miss mfc contest by comparison LOL

hello, so I had made a streamate account some months ago which I had left it at the verification, I didnt go through verification, although there is my Full name signature on the papers of the site, the agreements and etc, so I had forgotten about that and I made recently a new account, and I went through uploading my ID and etc, its still on pending mode, but how do I move with this? is streamate gonna detect that there is also another account with this name as a full name signature, and gonna be suspicious with me? do I just delete the old account and go through with the new one? do I email them to tell them about the situation? PS. I dont mind about which one of the two accounts I will keep, just go through verification successfully and begin camming. thank you!

right? especially compared to what you have to make on MFC to place in the ranks. it's like $50k monthly earnings for maybe a $1000 prize. kind of blows my mind how hard the MFC models work just to place in the top 100, though i'd guess for a lot of models it's more about the clout/bragging rights than the prize.

I don’t entertain those mofos for free. I think after 5 minutes I’m going to politely ask guys to tip or leave. I haven’t figured out how. Last night I said, “you guys don’t want me to go hungry do you please take care of me. Maybe like...alright guys I need you to show some appreciation if you want to keep spending time together. I don’t even think I’ll say or you have to leave. I’ll just boot them out of my room after politely asking several times. They’ll figure out why. Maybe blocking is too extreme. I’ll just boot them out for the day and if they come back and tip me or buy a show I’ll forgive them. You want my time and energy there needs to be a fair exchange. My time is valuable.

Now this guy is butt hurt that I blocked him and messaged me saying he’d buy a private if I unblock him. Like i don’t even want to entertain him now. I don’t think I’m gonna unblock him. Bad customers end up costing me in the long run.

Men are like dogs you gotta train them to respect you

Me too. My guess is over 1k ? I'm just going to work my regular hours and find out. Doubt I'll place. This week last year was 1 of my best weeks of the year. At least it tells us the top 1200! That's pretty cool

i kind of hope they start using this format more -- i think it's going to be possible to rank in the top 1000 and get a decent prize without having to work a ton of hours. i'd much prefer that to the 25 hour bonus / minimum earnings format that they usually do during these long contest weeks.

I'm trying to be positive, but this start to the contest is wretched. I'm 4.5 hrs into an 8 hrs shift and I've made 20% of goal. Looks like I'll be logging 40+ hrs to do well this contest.

Does the contest page show only the top 500 for anyone else? It showed the top 1000 on the first day and now only shows the top 500.

I'm ableto get on the site but its super slow making $7 an hour for the last 8 hours on the first page.

Miss_ShaSha
08-23-2020, 02:26 PM
^^If you scroll down the whole page you'll see all contestants to up to 1200. It may say you're not in top 500 but it'll show all who have placed up to 1200.

I was at 1100 when I'd made 80-100 I think then I'd jumped to 850 or something when I'd made 150, that was about halfway through the day, all from what I can recall.

Wow this is brutal...

I actually contacted support about the shit traffic I was getting and after making me go back and forth showing screen shots of my speed test and equipment they wrote "the placement and traffic issue is a known issue and we are working on it!"

... seriously? Did it really take emailing back and forth 3 times and taking screenshots for that?

Wow. Last nights shift was rough. I couldn't even break $100 before I went to bed. I'm on now, first page in the first 4 rows and it's slow asf! Few ins and outs and lot's of stupid ass questions! This. Sucks. Looks like I'm working more shifts than I planned too. UGH.

Streamed from 3-4am CST and zero. Been on now 2.5 hrs and $10.08 halfway down page 1 too.

It is fuckin brutal this week. You are not alone!!!

I was booted offline?! This hasn't happened before. "An error occurred" no clue why. Back online, hope it doesn't happen again.
If I press "accept" it boots the user and does not go exclusive. I stopped pressing accept. Same has happened with Cam today and yesterday. Despite all of this I am moving closer to the top 100. . . slowly like a snail lol. Good luck to everyone! There are SO many models online right now, surprised I am snagging people to play + pay.

dang, looks like everyone's struggling right now (though I know there's a huge bias here since the models doing well are way less likely to post.)

but yeah my shift last night sucked ass. took nearly 4 hours to make $100 which was from one gold show and one long exclusive. it was mostly a ghost town. i am usually quite selective about the shows i do but i was willing to take the shitty "faster harder bb" shows last night -- and not even those guys were around. my regs were suspiciously absent as well, which has me wondering if i was even showing up on people's favorites or what. lot of people would come and go with "connection issue" errors in free chat.

i have only made $200 over the contest days and i am just under the #1000 mark.

how many models do you see online? i don't see a total number anywhere, just different numbers for different categories.

Same. I'm taking a break for lunch, then I'm going to try again for another 3 hours. I should have over $200 right now, between my 2 shifts. I don't. It's starting to look like a 50 hour work week is in-store for me. Yuck.

I have tried Chrome and Microsoft Edge; neither of these browsers will show models online. I assume 3000 at least as I'm row 9-10 page 1. These model counts haven't been available for a couple weeks now. I just guess.

After months of a shit bitrate, it is finally GOOD and now - uh, no TRAFFIC! SMH. Bitrate good=bad traffic. Bitrate bad = full room and tech glitches galore. I really do NOT understand this at all....

I think the contests are just designed to keep models online for a lot more hours than usual so they can toss peanuts at us for being there. It has to benefit them in some way (affiliates, etc.) because it sure doesn't benefit a vast majority of the models. I make 1/3 of my income during these damn contests and end up moving to another site and taking my fans with me until the contest is over.
