Just lost a show with a sexy ass dude my age who was a total sweetheart. My internet is actually better than usual today so it is on SM's end...

Try not putting anything that you don’t do in your profile or room topic. Those keywords make it so you are in the top results. Your “no race play” just turns into race play. Just say no when they ask, some are just looking for you to freak out, stupid white guys love that.
If they take you to a show after you say no or never said anything; say no in the show. You can also make a prompt explaining that. If they give you a bad rating, take a screen shot for support with the prompt visible. I check my ratings after every show so I know who rated me what.
As sad as it may seem your giant list of rules only makes the creepy ones push more. Support will not ban based on the fetish because it isn’t against the rules. Harassment is though so definitely report them if they go that route

I am certain it is just the website. Traffic in my room seems a bit wonky.

I’m so sorry there are racist assholes. Did you report him?
We should all e-mail streamate and ask racist be banned from the site.
Email sent to SM
I’m emailing you in regards to customers using racial slurs-especially when the girls say they don’t do race play in their bio. I’m asking you please ban customers that are reported for verbal abusing women of color.
SM's reply: "Thank you for alerting us to this. If you can provide the user screen names we can block them."
I hope you make money and don't have to deal with anymore racist assholes. If I had a magic want I'd turn racist into the race they hate.

Tried all of this repeatedly. Thanks anyway. I have given up on SM working with my current Lush. I'll make a sub buy me a new one eventually :)
Don't use the Lovense browser, chrome extension or dongle. Set it up on your phone with the Lovense Connect App(not the remote or any other app), then go to accounts, then scan QR code. If you have been using all the other stuff, uninstall all of that, turn off your lush, uninstall and reinstall the phone app and try again.
That should work, It actually pretty simple if you ignore all the various instructions Lovense gives you. Unless Lovense has the site you want to use setup on their system, they make it way more confusing than it has to be and offer no support at all.
The next phase is getting it to work with their splitter tool...

Yeah, I read somewhere the first version of the Lush is a pain in the ass. It's the Lush 2 that's improved.

Ok, I am sincerely confused. Read a couple of thread, but does SM not raise your rate immediatley when you change it? I definetly do not want to go on this evening at my old rate.

Be sure you click SaveChanges at the bottom on the page when you set the new rate for private and exclusive. That makes it stick.
When you go to your dashboard under Rates and Shows it should have the new rate.

Ok, thanks. I was asking cause all the other stuff related to my profile they change at a snails pace. My stuff was inaccurate, and had to keep emailing to update and now I just want to add a couple of other services that I offer to my profile, and when I emailed them about it, they said it would take 24-48hr to add 6 letters to my ad...

I am in the middle of the front page and am getting like no traffic. Also encountered a big glitch this morning where people's messages wouldn't send in the chat right away, and then they would pop up all at once. Sometimes took like a full minute for them to show up. This is my first time on cam in a few weeks, has it just been bad lately?

SM wants us to work harder and help them with fraud now.
Um isn't that where the giant cut they take comes into play? If they expect me to do extra work, they better be offering a higher percentage.

That message REALLY set me off. They should focus on getting the report button to even FUNCTION seeing as how WE cannot even search for users to report them after the suspicious activity occurs. Maybe if your site functioned properly you'd have less fraud. Lets not even get into the major security issues they had lately

My eyes could not have rolled any harder when I read that. Can't fix or say anything about the persistent and incapacitating glitches that have been happening sitewide for months now (i.e. girls getting locked out of their accounts regularly and the placement glitch that either pushes us to page 362787893475 or doesn't have us showing up as online at all) but can tell us that fraud is now partly our responsibility. Fuck allllll the way off.

All these updates and all I really want is a way to selectively message smy customers who have never messaged me before. I had to take some extra time off before I went away on holiday last week and when I was away, I got sick and I’m still sick now I’m home. I’m in no position to work and I’d just like to keep my customers in the loop and let them know where I am but I can’t message the majority of them. I can’t even do it with this new messenger feature. Obviously they’ll see me back eventually but I feel like it’s manners for me to keep them informed somewhat.
We can’t share our social media with customers, we just have to hope they google us. Yet we don’t have reasonable means of contacting all of our customers directly and easily through the site.
EDIT: I stand corrected on this matter. My mistake!
EmPea
09-21-2020, 03:29 PM
You can message all paid customers, but it takes them 2 days to review it, my guess it so that they can be sure you aren't taking them off-site. Oh and you can't send a photo with it, which i think is kinda lame. I almost did it when I changed rates, but I realized it didn't matter and would look like begging. Pretty sure I would definitely do this if I was taking a long time off.

i'm not sure, i haven't participated in many of the contests this year so i don't have much data.
though based on past experience i feel like you generally need to average at least $350-500 a day to be able to place top 200 in most contests. but maybe i'm way off. hopefully others can chime in.
it could be a decent couple of days traffic wise. it's labor day weekend so a lot of people don't have work on monday, and might be in party mode saturday and sunday. which could be full of abusive douchebags, or nice drunk guys who don't realize how much they're spending, haha.
I'm a bit late to answer this but I was at the bottom of the top 200 fo the last 2 day contest (a first for me!). I made 300 one day and 350 the second day.

Honestly, I sent one too. I have a bunch of appointments for health and maintenance this week that are conflicting with my schedule. Want them to know that I am coming back. JIC.
They probably don't care but, can't hurt to keep people informed.
Also, don't feel weird. That the messaging system is very awkward and I missed several messages from clients due to it.

Thanks for the support girls. I only got to block one of them. The others quickly left my room after the racial slurs so couldn't block. I did keep note of their names though. They will be instantly blocked if they enter my room again.
10 hour shift tomorrow lets hope the traffic is decent. Will split it into 2x 5 hours x

Hey ladies, which site(s) do you split cam with? I'm thinking to try a second streaming site along with my indie sites. Some days my indie sites are slow and I would like to use a split camming software and a second site to drum up some extra income. Thanks!

Any mixed race models here? Do you think the ethnicity on our profile matters? I'm thinking of changing mine back to "Asian", but not sure if it will drive more or less traffic or make a difference. I changed it because multiple cutsy said "You don't look Asian." But recently, I've been hearing the opposite. Any advice?

I am half asian but in the white category. I have debated whether or not that would help me.

Unfortunately, in sw it does matter, for good, but mostly bad reasons. Honestly, many men have an Asian fetish, you can also advertise as Asian and let people know you are half if they press, or you can even call them on their sh*t and say "what do you expect an Asian to look like?". Lots of options here, but the most important thing is that you do what you are most comfortable with.
For years, doing irl sw I advertised as a Black/Hawaiian mix...I'm not lol, but I do have exotic features that I can play up. I don't anymore, though, since I have been very focused on decolonization and working on internalized misogynoir and colorism. In addition, since camming it doesn't seem to matter as much about my ethnicity. In fact, due to the popularity of fetishes online(again for better or worse), it actually helps that I am Black. Is there an option to advertise as "Other", "Mixed", or "Exotic", I have used all of those as well.

I'm half Asian and White. I'm in the Hispanic category since that's what most people think I look like, but recently people have been asking if I'm Asian since I'm not wearing make-up. I looked at the Asian category and there aren't many models. Another reason I changed my ethnicity category years ago was the racial remarks. I guess my question is: Might I get more traffic this way?
We have a new week contest from sept 27th to oct 3rd.
Oh well, traffic is soo bad lately it was time for a contest...
EmPea
09-23-2020, 03:00 PM
There's a fetish for Asian women, and not that many so it's definitely worth a try. You might find a niche, or you might get sick of having your ethnicity fetishised.

According to Pornhub, Asian is one of the most popular searches on the site, if not the most popular (my memory doesn’t help me right now, but you can Google it). I would say, go for it, there is def a solid niche.

I've been having audio issues since yesterday. My reg mic doesn't seem to be loud enough so I had to use synaptic-something or other. But members are asking if my mic is even on. Some have issues and others hear me just fine. Not sure what's up tho.

As far as I know you can't. When I have disgusting messages posted, I spam chat with my saved messages (what i do in paid, video specials, fanclub info, etc) until the offensive messages are pushed back.

Everybody has a Twitter, Streamate knows that, the clients know that. I used to tell people I had a Twitter, verbally, not directly link them. I also experimented with having it as a watermark in the corner of my stream. But what I noticed about these dudes on the sites, is they usually stay on the sites. The only time I had a guy try to take me off site is cause he was broke and trying to rip me off. Social media is for finding your own leads and clients for your own sites. I honestly don't think I want to take Streamates clients with me anywhere because it is the one of two places where I am not 100% domme. The other is Cams.com/streamray.

Thanks, I didn't know that. At this point, I am no longer promoting social media-heavy on sites, beyond leaving links where I can. Ultimately, I feel if they want to find you they will. As long as you are keeping your name consistent, it shouldn't be an issue. And if they can't figure out on their own, do you really want a client like that? The only thing I am using my Twitter for is to promote my clip store, my membership site, independent cam shows, and any items I can't sell on the sites(panties, stockings, etc). No reason to give them any more money than they are already taking, tbh.
