For those that use the GOLD MENU, what are your rates? I occasionally change it...
Here are mine:
GOLD Menu
Flip Off
$2
Stand Up
$3
SPH
$4
Strap-on
$4
Bounce Tits
$6
Show Feet
$7
Twerk
$10
i have been changing my menu lately cause guys seem not to use it except for tit flash which mine is $10
I used to charge 10 for flip off also
never used stand up cause im always standing up and stretching on cam
I can't tell you how much to charge but for example, i would charge sph like 30 gold lol
I charge for dancing 15 gold
The cheaper thing i have in my menu is doggy position $4 gold and i always tell them to buzz my toy when i'm using it.
They should add spin wheel, this always makes me $$
Blow job with toy $40 gold
Goddess appre $25 gold
Dirty talk $30
i just can't price this cheaper, doesn't work for me, I 'll dedicate some more time to check what can i add that i can make it 5 or 7, maybe feet, maybe lipstick or blow a kiss for 2

Do you recommend I raise the prices? I'm struggling as it is.
You do you but I get more GOLD tips now that I charge more (9 for ass, 11 for tits etc) than I did when they were lower priced (5-6) Those guys that can’t afford a show but still want flashes, well I want to make money out of them. And it made me cry inside when I’d flash my tits for less than a dollar my cut

It depends: do you usually get shows from the flashes? If so then it's working in your favor. I swear that guys just screenshot my flashes then leave. I NEVER get a show from flashes EVER. That's not an exaggeration.

What do you guys say to the annoying PIA customer who thinks his stupid $1 dollar golds are worth actual gold. He will sit and tip $1 every few minutes, sometimes try and talk dirty and just get off for free in free chat. I hate feeling like I'm nailed down to the room cause of his stupid golds. It would hold value if it was like $5 or more per tip but 30 cents isnt your my best friend material.... at all. Would you ignore or block? I highly doubt we are ever going to get past the $1 gold tipping in free chat. He can go for up to an hour doing it and well its not worth the whooping $7 bucks I may make out of it at the end of that hour.
I just say thanks babe
when the person starts wanting something I tell him to go private or get blocked. Fuckn working for pennies. I have to be straight up
they excuse themselves
some guys want that tip to add up to something on the tip menu. But it never works in their favor

I finally have access to the "wishlist."
manicure = 30$ ?
lingerie = 50$ ?
Are these prices from 2010?? pffft
Isn't that disgusting ?? A man made this I'm sure. We should all complain so they get with the times. A do-it-myself manicure is $30. Frig all the way off

I have a new guy who has done this twice. I smile and say that feels good to 1 GOLD, but 5 GOLD feels better. When he does like 1 GOLD ten times in a row I show him how wet I am from it, but always ask for more. I do give a lil dirty talk cause he tips fast and frequently.
It's def the cheap way to get play. He has gone private tho, but not for long and doesn't tip in private.
If it was minutes between tips and nothing higher than 1 GOLD, I'd just smile and say thanks.

Ok the topic of tipping $1 gold in free chat. It really depends on the customer. I had a customer do that in free chat AFTER he bought a 15 min exclusive. I get it if they spend a lot of money after they might be more frugal which is understandable. It’s important to have financial boundaries, but I’m more flexible with regulars than random guys who just want to use me. Just like in the club as long as they were tipping I’m polite and say thank you. If I’m entertaining you then that’s worth a $1 (0.30) and I shouldn’t have to do anything else really-being in my presence is enough. I probably was too generous last night with this particular customer, but I felt like being generous would pay off later. My rule is if you’ve gotten a private from me you’re part of my community and you get perks so long as you continue to get privates. I’m selling emotional intimacy and to do that they need to feel safe. Lots of boundaries and tough, tough love with these guys. These guys are a handful...worse than disciplining toddlers.

I do, yeah. If I know I have a delivery due then I usually warn them at the start of the show but sometimes shit happens. He was unreasonable. I let them know that I need to pop to the door, I’ll be right back and it’s up to them if they want to hang on in the show or log off till I’m back. Usually they just hang on.
I had a load of this around Christmas as it was parcel central in my house. Shops aren’t open so I have no choice but to get shit delivered

Bit rate and RTT were fucked up for me last week ugh they need to fix this.
I don't usually report pussy or whatever, cause you know my pussy is fire!!! and custies pay to see it, if these girls don't want money for it, it's not my prob... but I just reported a whole bunch of girls promoting their snapchat, twitter, IG, everything diplayed on the site!! If I can't promote it, you can't either!!! Do not steal our customers.
yeah in the end the customers belong to SM. they do good marketing. whenever someone in free chat or exclusive trys to give phone number or email or whatever i block and report.
i am sure lots of models collect off line customers but .. umm i dont need more problems and stalkers. also i am loyal to SM. i hope they will be loyal back to me lol.

what are european tampons?
when i lived in france the tampons are different there, they are pure cotton and they slide right in, the have no applicator,
i used to just buy the monoprix (store brand) when i go back to france for vacation i buy 100s of them.
its hard to explain the difference but you can feel the difference and they just look different.

so it looks like all models have access to the wishlist feature now
i just checked it out and i think it's pretty stupid since you can't write in your own items or prices. like i don't care about manicures, but i'd totally add "buy me a Nintendo Switch" or something of the sort.
i don't get why they don't allow us to customize it, much like the "gold tip menu" where you can only use their preselected activities.
this part "We plan to expand wishlists in the future with more options such as physical gifts" is interesting... i've never been comfortable with guys mailing me anything but i'd be curious to know how SM might handle sending physical gifts.

I also charge 3 gold for stand but I charge quite a bit higher for everything else. Sometimes people moan and I tell them they’re paying for everyone else to enjoy me aswell in free, but if that’s an issue, they can just come private instead. They say fair point sometimes. Lol.

Pretty sure it's so we dont write things against the rules but a banned words filter would easily prevent that. I think it's lame they couldn't even come up with 10 items to add, give even more of a variance. Why can we only choose 5 of them ? Why not as low as $1 like videos and as high as $500 ?

Sugar, Erika, & anyone w/nosy, 'mail openers'
get a PO box?
My one neighbor stole an insurance check, which I had a huge battle to get reimbursed.
It cost me like 35.00 for 6 months, if you close it out before the due date, they refund the difference.
Also, there's UPS boxes, much costlier, but they can receive any size package, also count as a regular address.
A po box can, if you get the street address, & put box #, just don't write box, put the number.

though since i'm a california model who had to switch over to being a CalGems employee for most of 2020, I am curious when my W2 for that is going to show up. not looking forward to doing taxes this year... i've always had multiple 1099 incomes, but this is the first time i'll have to deal with adding a W2 in there. hopefully it's fairly straightforward on turbotax since i always do them myself.
anyway if any other CA models get their CalGems tax paperwork (mailed or digitally), an update here would be appreciated

Hi all!!
So I've been a PSO for over a year and thoroughly enjoy it. I tried Chaturbate for a while, and felt horribly demeaned -- the money I got from camming was absolutely LAUGHABLE compared to phone sex. I guess I wanna know, is SM worth investing the time and energy into, monetary-wise? Anyone know what an average newcomer to the site (but not camming/sex work) makes?
Thanks ♪

it's impossible to determine average earnings for anyone because there are so many variables -- time spent online, internet connection, built in webcam vs a nicer one, computer specs. then all the other subjective unknowns, like what types of customers you attract, what you're willing to do in shows, whether you lean more domme or sub, etc.
i will say, i think a PSO could be more suited to a site like Streamate because of its inherent nature for a lot of the customers to lean towards doing private shows. with token sites like CB often being so public/group oriented, i could see how that might not be your thing since you're used to private phone calls. you can offer phone in exclusive shows on SM and really try to use that as a selling point, for example if you have a very seductive voice or are really good with JOI or whatever your current skillset already is.
if your only experience with camming is Chaturbate, i think it's worth it for you to give SM a shot and see how it goes. they are totally different hustles.

I find streamate to be my most profitable site. coming up on 18 years. as I've noticed things are changing with camming and more models starting. I've noticed sites that build their brand on being media network tend to bring in the traffic.
Streamate business model is that to be a media network. Then I got inspired by their marketing when I was travelling and saw their late-night commercial of streamate.

There are a ton of girls that don’t turn it on but advertise it
don’t go by what others are showing as a icon
its Too hard to tell and asking will get a “yes it’s on” from everyone lol
