They definitely do it for major holidays, but I haven’t noticed them do it for sports.
i feel like they might've done one during the world cup? not sure though! they certainly don't seem to need much of an excuse to have one!

I know they have done some holidays Americans don’t usually celebrate, so the World Cup is possible! I think they pick things that equal less models as opposed to less customers, and I think there are more models outside the United States.

I never really used to work the contests until earlier this year, but when I did, I realised that the only way I get semi decent traffic during them is if make a point of hammering out the hours, get on the ranks right from the start of the week and set my ranking to visible. Then that seems to set me up for the week ahead. If I don't make a point of working them, then my whole week ends up pants. That's probably a bit of a mindset thing too aswell, cause it definitely doesn't encourage me when it gets really bad.
I always seem to come across lots of new customers during the contests so I wonder if they advertise the site a lot aswell. There does seem to be a lot of contests at the moment, the whole world will be affected by this corona shit to some degree so it would make sense to want to keep people online etc.

Could take a week or more. It does say might take up to 72 hours and if it’s longer than this contact them. Mine did and I got told off for clogging up support and it would only delay things further.

I'm just barely placing right now at 499, with my 3 highest days so far at $265, $207, and $203
*EDIT* Now at #354 with my highest days at $265, $207, & $297
I’ve been on SM now for 3 weeks. Did the contest this week for the hours. Exactly 25 hours and finished on $1300. Not even in the top 750. Wow there must be some earners out there. Best 3 days were the mid 300’s

Well I’ve got rid of the dippers. Took someone’s advice and made my private shows almost double my exclusive. More than half as many shows but much more money. I made more in Golds than shows as well.

I had to remove myself from a group chat for sm cam girls this morning. Lots of complaining from girls who've ONLY MADE $3k this week. Meanwhile I'm sitting here with my earnings and traffic slashed by 90% or more. Hang in there bbs <3
I've learned the hard way to avoid those camgirl group chats on Twitter like the plague - they are so toxic! They always start out nice......

Thanks hun. I’m an avid fan of Abraham hicks etc. Affirmations are part of my spiritual daily practice but right now nothing is shifting. It is brutal out there. Trying to stay positive and strong however the amount of free loaders and silent starters is ridiculous. Can’t work out how these ladies who win contests are getting the spenders, possibly they have a following

It's extremely hard right now. I took pride in being a tough girl all this year. I stayed indoors the majority of this year, cammed, did my part in social distancing, made sure to keep the tv turned off as i know it's 24/7 doom and gloom. And even i still almost cracked. I knew shit got real when a big hunk of a man and cam show regular told me how afraid he was. We're in some really dark and turbulent times right now and we don't have anything to compare this to. As much as i hate small talkers I've made it a point to allow a select few keep me company in my free chat area, these guys never beg or abuse me and i made it clear they have a special privledge that others don't get. It gives my room a more busy appearance and has helped me snag a few shows on my deadest days. When the fake busy room stunt and affirmations aren't doing it's thing i log out, light candles and dissapear into a daydream like state. At the end of the day i think we can all agree on one thing, 2020 sucks. Keep your head up, it'll get better. I don't know the time or day when things will get better but i know they will. They got to.

Thanks hun . I love your posts, so uplifting!! Guess people just don’t have the money to spend . The contest winners must have golden vaginas lol . I’ve logged off cos it’s soul destroying . I’ll do some meditation and try and shift my mind space.
Really annoying that they bang on about their traffic being so great as an excuse to take such a big percentage, well I can’t see that & unless you are a top earner it’s brutal.
Big hugs to all you ladies xx

I hear this. 2.5 hrs on and 9 min paid chat. I meditate a lot on LOA and practice abundance affirmations...and it's still been tough. It'll get better. I often take a trip down memory lane in the camming sucks thread to remind myself it has been bad plenty of times before and it has gotten better every time. I feel ya sister...totally.

Could be wrong but thinking since they are making the snapshot feature normalized it's making it harder for regulars to find us ? They know what our profile pix look like so are used to looking for that. In general I like the snapshot feature. There were too many models who looked like their pix were stolen and it was too stressful to work forever on a nice biopic only to wait over a month for support to approve it.

I find exactly the same. I literally kill myself to rank and traffic floods in whereas if I sit back and just do my normal it’s dead.

I really don't know if you can get in trouble, but I would recommend you to stay far away from this. Engaging in these kind of forbidden fetishes can get not only your account shut down, but can get the whole payment processor of the website shut down. The rules are there for a reason :)
If somebody asks me about a forbidden fetish (extreme stuff like pee/poo/blood, involvement of children/animals, etc, but also requests about TeamViewer/social media/directing customers offsite) during a show I make sure to TYPE out my response and don't leave ANY ambiguity to it. Make sure support can read the chat logs and make sure YOUR answer to the customers' question is a hard NO. Then block and report the customer right away. If they say disgusting shit / have requests that go against the rules in free chat, I mainly block and report them right away, without engaging. Some guys like to troll.
With these kind of fetishes, you are playing with fire. So don't leave ANYTHING up for interpretation and be clear about you NOT entertaining the idea whatsoever. I completely understand blocking a customer out of an excl block is hard to do, especially when you are first starting out. but having your account suspended because someone in support decided you engaged in copro in any way leaves you without a job! So in the long run, play safe!

Thank you ❤ i sort of freaked out and my first instint was trying to acomodate what he wanted in a way that it wasnt breaking the rules, like the whole step bro thing some.girls do for incest (i dont cos it feels risky but u get the point) but its still sketchy, i didnt type, was using the mic, i will block him but wont reporting bring more atention to the chat log and all? Never broke any rule and earlier blocked a customer that asked for pee but this was so sudden i got startled lol, hate when they dont ask if u do x thing before taking u exc.
I wonder how do they know tho, do they watch your sessions to see that u arent breaking the rules?

I completely understand! I would indeed not report him right now. Dont draw any attention. When models get banned, from what I heard they get banned fairly quickly after the show. But I dont know for sure since I never been banned. Maybe someone can shed any light on this? :)
I hate it too when they dont ask! But the customer is responsible for doing his due diligence before spending money. That includes reading the site rules, using common sense, reading your profile and asking you questions when they feel that is necessary.
Example: Many models, myself included, do limited masturbation and dont even use any toys for penetration. A lot of guys barge into exclusive expecting toy shows but I have to turn them down. Dont feel like a scammer for doing that. The customer and the customer only is responsible for what he spends his money on. Support will view it that way too. Example: You will only get penalized if you enter a show with a customer saying 'I do toys' and after a time in the show you say you dont. Except when its some kind of tease and denial fetish situation. I have done that, LOL. But then the intention is always clear ;D

A lot of the time they come back in my room and say how great it was so I just take the piss out of them for effectively humping and dumping me, if they laugh then I know they’ll be good regs. I like men who don’t get offended when I’m cheeky :)
