I dropped from 3rd row to 10th in a few weeks, from $250 in 4 hours to $50... I am getting so anxious, but you girls help me stay sane on today's shift.
I took a break and back on cam now - boring!
EDIT: I'm getting very tipsy now, the most annoying thing is when the guy comes into my room and tells me that I look bored... I don't look bored, I AM BORED! It's hard to smile and dance for 4 hours and get 9 minutes in paid chat. Ugh.
I feel like I'm complaining too much, OK that's enough report for today :D

Hey there, was wondering if anyone has ever used the ACH payments through streamate? Was wondering how long that typically takes to hit your account. Thank you
ACH payments are received Fri mornings. I used to get paper checks and they always came Mon afternoon.

I think the hardest part about being in a slump is getting used to the new norm. I was in a slump for almost 2 months. It's getting a little better now that I STFO. But when I first experienced the slump I was giving up after 2-3 hrs which really hurt my pockets. It's a shock for sure and scary AF. I've just accepted that it's gonna take hours upon hours to make my goals. It's either that or get another job. Sorry doll...this is camming :(

That's exactly my issue now - I can easily stay on for 7+ hours when the day is good, but hardly 2-4 when it's dead. Tomorrow I will try to cam at a different time tomorrow, and stick to at least 5 hours at a time. I think it's time to focus on hours instead of earnings :chillpill

Just wanted to say, I really appreciate everyone’s openness about their earnings (or lack of) this week. When it’s slow I start second guessing myself and self doubt sets in, it’s helpful to hear that it’s not just me who struggles at times. My twitter is full of people (mainly content rather than cam) who are always posting about how great life is and how much they earn, which is a great motivation boost a lot of the time, but not so great to see when I’m having a shitty time myself. So thanks!

I went from making $65ph on Sunday to getting to 1h15min online today and I’d made an entire $5 odd.
If I’d not made the equivalent of £5 by 1h30min I was going to log off. I managed to get 2 shows by 1h40, one for a little over 2mins and the other for a whole 1min35secs. Aswell as that, I had a couple of people moaning that I’m way too expensive and I called it a day at that point.
I’m really tired as it is which definitely wasn’t doing me any favours. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or rhythm right now! I’m focusing on hours atm and not money. Apart from today anyway lol

Great...snapshot finally works on Chrome browser (took it 3 days ago) and the goddamn thing is shit lol. I've been checking placement with Opera browser and my biopic is showing up instead of the snapshot. Interesting tho...that funky snapshot got me to exceed high goal yesterday and medium goal today faster than normal. Men are so weird. That image is shit lololll.
^^^ It's on and off for me in the last days including today, it's not always asking for a snapshot, just sometimes. I too use Chrome.

They said they would only ask for it once a day (their day I suppose) it used to ask me every time I started streaming now it is when I start a new shift.
^^^ Good to know but then when we wont have a profile pic anymore, what will be displayed if we stop the stream for breaks or tech issues several times during a shift?

Tonight I had a phone call from a customer through SM (which I haven't done in months) and the first few times we tried it didn't go through. What it did do was go to his voicemail instead of connecting, even though he was waiting on the other line the whole time. I tried asking him what he heard on his end but he didn't answer and just said he was going to try again, and now I'm terrified that he got my voicemail too, which says my legal name. I had no idea something like this could happen and it feels like a huge privacy risk. I guess I just wont do phone anymore, but I thought the whole point was that it was secure

I think there must be a 24 hr or so timeframe as I took another one last night at 6pm and it's still using the same one now at 6:20am and I'm not prompted to take another one. The update is fast now however. The new one I took last night updated to Chrome browser within 10 min.

Is anyone having a problem with customers trying to take them private?
I had a guy saying he was getting kicked out of the chat everytime he tried private, and kept coming in and out, I thought he was just timewasting but now someone else has come in saying the same thing. First time, he told me it kicked him, then it said it wouldn't accept his card, he's changed his card and now it says system error each time.
This has to be a problem with SM cause two people are saying the same thing??
I've told him to contact live chat support but I think that's highly unlikely!
Edit: He's on to live chat support so I'll come back with the verdict

It happens every now and again with a British guys I have that are new on the site. Usually it's their bank blocking the payment for suspected fraud but if they either phone the bank or reply to an SMS the bank sends out it can be sorted quite quickly.

Thank you! Yes this was exactly what it was, he came back and said it was his bank. Guessing it was the same for the same guy, as I've had loads of new guys recently

I’m wondering if anyone has a contact at streamate. Not Liz. She already stopped replying to my emails. My studio blackmailed me into being perma-banned and I have been trying to sort it out, to no avail. If I can’t be on there so be it but, I have hand written notes from studio owners bribing me to work for drugs, I have recorded audio of them saying” we’re just gonna fine her till she quits” in reference to an African American girl. They stole full paychecks of mine numerous times, till I left, I waited out the year and a half till I applied on SM again BUT every time I do, the second I submit my real name/ID, ALL COMMUNICATION stops. I don’t even get an explanation. It’s so fuckin fucked up, excuse my language, but I’m venting rn lol
If anyone has a good friend or contact there that might be able to HELP me of at least give me a REASON, I’d be willing to pay. Lol. No joke.

^^It's a good idea to edit your post and remove timeframes as this is a public forum and that info can cost models a lot of loss.
To get around the peepers I take the first minute to just say hello, reiterate the show idea, then move into position. I do not do anything in less than a minute to prevent loss.

I'm kinda late to the party so forgive if this is out of date.
I've been hearing that guys get free xx seconds to watch you, if they leave before then you don't get paid.
Well it seems to be xx seconds now.
My OH is a member and he watches me to see if my lighting looks good or not. Anyway he tried this out. He came in my room for exactly xx seconds and got charged, I got paid as well. Then he came in for xx seconds and didn't get charged, neither did I get paid. AS I say sorry if this old news.
Wow interesting. Does it say xxs on the chat duration on your earnings report?

Some are a lot cagier than that. They wait till I've been in a show for a while then start dipping in and out.
Oh well, just something you have to put up with.
I'm on Adultwork as well and the guys there get charged from the first second.

That's a whole other thing that is hard to deal with. Yeah, in that case you can manually ban them, but it's hard to get their info when you're already entertaining another or others. That's annoying AF!

Ohh really? I have been thinking about trying AW is a backup. Would you recommend it?
the popping in and out doesn't phase me as much as it used to, but if I see someone continually abusing the preview I will ban them. Sometimes it's tech issues so the first time I give them the benefit of the doubt.

Today is fucking rough... managed to do ok this week despite it being slow, but today is something else.
Pussylicker115 --> this dude is making his rounds harassing models on SM
He keeps calling me whore and demanding I show shit for free... I literally laughed and was like "yeah exactly, I'm a whore so that means I don't do shit for free. Glad you acknowledge that! So until you pay you don't get shit!" hahaha
Block and report this guy if you see him, he was harassing my friend also saying she 'wasn't worth shit' and other abusive crap.

Whenever someone enters my private’s, if I can get away with it quickly, I click on their name and put ‘p’ in the box. Then if they leave before being charged, when they come into free or another private (cause they always come back to try it again!) I block them instantly, cause I know they joined a private and abused the preview.
They don’t get another chance after the first time. I always used to give them another chance and they always came back to pull the same shit so no more.

Just had a guy come exc c2c for not even 2 mins and he had the cheek to come back in guest and asked if it was nice! Told him yeah, but I would have preferred it if he lasted longer, ha. Oh well it’s a few dollars more than I had before.
Edit: thinking back I think he may well have been asking if his dick was nice not the show itself so I may have just ruined his day. Whoops!

SM is a thousand times better. Most of the guys on AW are tossers. You can be sitting on free so they can see you. Then the'll take you private and click out after 5 seconds. They seem to think it's funny.

That's why I stopped doing phone - I had a weird experience like that too. If you want to keep doing phone I suggest changing your voicemail to not include your name. When I was doing phone mine just said "Hello, it's me - leave me a message" LOL

I'm glad you said it. AW used to be an amazing site. Came back with 0 feedback after the 2016? USA purge, paying for placement and now its chock full of weirdos emailing you their pathetic fetishes (feedback or not), and shitload of compliments in free chat whilst asking you to stand or bend over and no tips. I had 1 show last week and I've gotten 3 calls from directchat (like 1 call a day 5 min each for some strange reason).
I may have a love hate relationship with SM but at least they tip, and go pvt. If you put in 3h, you'll get something. AW? You get "Do you meet?" yet haven't spent a dime on cam. Ummm you won't be able to afford my meet rate its clear, why are you asking? Even had some random male escort message me in detail what he wanted to do to me whilst apologizing saying "I hope you don't mind." I DO. You were in my chat not spending and now you're emailing me >< I might just throw in the towel with cam (at least free chat) and just keep the phone on. Horrid. Maybe its just the lockdown? Wasted 50gbp on positioning and availability and have made half of that back.

I agree. My first ever site was Adultwork and I’ve come off it altogether now.
If anyone thinks there’s cheap skates on SM then AW is a whole different walk in the park. I built up a lot of feedback and started to put my rates up from £1.29/£2.29 and the more they went up, the less I made.
The highest I went to was £1.99/£2.99 and barely made a thing, forking out for positioning and not even making it back. Then I put my rates back down to 1.49/2.49 and immediately I had the busiest day I’d had in a long time. I made more than I had for ages.
Free chat was a nightmare aswell. Constant non stop yapping and ‘do you meet’ ‘give us a twirl’ over and over like a broken record. I used to crack after 20mins and switch it off. SM free chat is a breeze in comparison.
Edit: infact I was actually put off signing up to SM for ages when I found out about it, cause basing it on AW, I honestly didn’t think I could hack the mandatory free chat. That’s how bad AW free chat was.
