When will streamate get rid of the free secs? It gets abused SOmuch. I always kill time when someone starts a private but what am I supposed to do when I'm butt naked and someone joins?! I always sneakily cover myself a little for ~ seconds and see if they wait it out but ugh. I hate it

Hate this so much, they always leave too quick to ban too

Placement seems to be weird today, with for the US, I use to be at page 3, today Im on page 6-7...of course 0 traffic and very little money.

I hope it gets better.

Placement was totally messed up for me yesterday eve. I'm usually page 1 and I was stuck on page 4 all night. Even after making $126 in 1.5 hrs I was still stuck on page 4. When I logged back in at 3am CST it was fixed. It's just a glitch.

I still had traffic tho, so I'm sure you will too but maybe just not right now. It's been dead AF for me the last 4.5 hrs sooooo...

There is a known issue going on and we're working on it :-)
Is this the same issue that even though tip vibe is connected and working (I get buzzed when someone tips) the tip vibe icon isn't showing when I'm streaming. I sent Catalina screenshots but haven't heard anything back.

Yeah I even tell them they don't pay anything for the first 45 seconds, so my show will start after then. wink wink

Thank you, placement is fixed now ^^ After 3,5 hours I have 23$ :D I hope to reach 40$ in the next 2 hours, it seems to be mission impossible lol .D

OMG you're doing better than me hahahaaa. I did 7+ hrs for $30+ lololll. I was pretty angry with SM for a bit, but let it go. It certainly tested my willpower. I might try again at 3pm-6pm, but I don't know.

Today was the deadest day Ive had in about 2 years.
2 hours online, not one single private and I couldnt stay on because I was confident i was going to nod off. Then after 20 mins of no talking Ill scroll my phone out of boredom and boom "You should pay more attention to the chat" :bitelip: SM is my only site so its always a big hit to my income on days like these.
Im not a aggressive person but it was so bad today (after being slow yesterday) I was literally cussing minor trolls out for asking for free shit. Normally I just ignore.

The worst part of it is I know its going to damage my morale for tomorrow.
Ill reason with myself tomorrow that its a waste of time. Here's to hoping its site issues and not a downswing in the site. Still super high potential members and a quiet ass chat.
If youre struggling on the site right now, please know its not you and you are not alone.

Highlight of the day was some random dude asking me if my breath stank. All I could say is "bitch it might" I was so done at that point. It wasnt even a fetish, Im pretty sure he was just asking. :D:D:D

I do have a schedule and find it works FAR better than trying to predict busy / quiet times. I know I do a certain amount of hrs each day and I also know some days will be great, some ok, some poor. I also know I have zero idea who is out there at any point, ready to spend on me. Or not!

A schedule doesn't work for everyone but I truly believe that you can only really control what you do. You can't control who is out there or potential site issues. You just have to work the best way for you. Oh and Erika thanks for the tip about the vibe in the panties, I did that today and it didn't piss me off at all, AND I got a few takers so win - win!

I pretty much stick to a schedule but sometimes I wish I were more flexible with myself. I think it's a good thing to be unpredictable sometimes. You inspire me.

I pretty much stick to my schedule too, but will sometimes get on earlier to make more. It's best for me as I crave a schedule and routine, but I'd love to be able to make money whenever and get on when mood is always good. Sometimes due to a schedule I have to cam in a shitty mood, and I know that it can effect sales.

What are you guys using for your camera/software? I have the Logitech C920 and have been using it with logitech camera settings for years. I upgraded my computer and generally want to upgrade my whole set up, so I figured I'd ask what others are doing. I keep seeing other models seeming to have a remote or something to zoom in and out, and it looks so flawless and beautiful. Everything I do looks clunky and awful. If it helps to know, I have a new M1 chip macbook.

They are probably in a studio-haven’t found a remote cam yet. They have them but they are expensive!

lmao I am not that free with my time.
i usually get on evenings 4pmish slow times can easily be eaten up by going on a walk, cooking dinner, go to the store, i can take a break for a few hours

I had to learn its ok to walk away bc the money is here 24/7 before i didn't have that ,entality to just put it down. for now.

when i was more crunched to cam a certain amount of hours is when id get a shitty mood like Sha. I lost more $$ staying on but didnt have freedom to log on any other time

i use to work a set schedule 10a-2pm and 10pm-1am everyday. now I can log on mid day check out the vibe, if i start getting shitty i can log off and come back hours later. makes the biggest difference for my attitude. I use to be a schedule camgirl.
I have members that were once scared of me bc that's how bad I raged on cam.

I literally joined this forum because I was bitching up a storm about the issues I’m having on streamate while on another forum and someone kindly directed me here

I picked a bad first week to try streamate... I’d say I could be doing worse but I also know I’d be doing a lot better if my Lush would connect and gold menu would show up for those in my room! Ugh

But also hi, I’m glad I found my way here!

YUP! As soon as I made the mistake of mentioning mine wasn’t connecting or I didn’t react, my tips lessened

That said, even as a noob in a more niche category (Bbw), with a zillion streamate issues, the thing paid for itself in and then some in 2 short-ish days (though I already owned mine for personal long distance use lmao)

** ETA I don’t think it’s essential tho tons of people don’t use them!

I have the Lush 2! I’ve seen mixed reviews on the 3 but haven’t tried it, and probably won’t until if/when my 2 bites the dust.

Hi girls, I've been camming on streamate as a couple for more than 5years, I cam 4hours a day, my weekly earnings are between 600-800$. Sometimes I do more than 1000, or at times not more than 300.
I cam on the same shift for years for the same hours. On regular I have 1-2 customers in free chat, and 0-1 Potential members. But I heard you girls have more than 50 potential numbers and above 10 cutsomers in free chat. Why I am so unpopular? Because of the small hours I cam? I cam on the same hours almost every day, is it because I don't do goldshows? My equipment is excellent, I have no idea what my placement is, but I am sure I am somewhere far from the first page. But why?
I was ok with the traffic room I had, I got used to it, it was always like that and still earn some money. But now that had been dead week at Streamate I start to wonder why.
I know the numbers are very slow compared to girls I have been reading about on forumes, I even have only 4k heart favourites, in normal <10k for maybe 1-2years of camming.
I would be more than happy to get whatever advices or opinions you have on that topic!

Thank you

I know the numbers are very slow compared to girls I have been reading about on forumes, I even have only 4k heart favourites, in normal <10k for maybe 1-2years of camming.
I would be more than happy to get whatever advices or opinions you have on that topic!

Thank you

Maybe keep up your schedule but if you can add another shift in another time? or try working an extra couple hours in addition to your normal hours to see if you get different traffic.

Hi girls, I've been camming on streamate as a couple for more than 5years, I cam 4hours a day, my weekly earnings are between 600-800$. Sometimes I do more than 1000, or at times not more than 300.
I cam on the same shift for years for the same hours. On regular I have 1-2 customers in free chat, and 0-1 Potential members. But I heard you girls have more than 50 potential numbers and above 10 cutsomers in free chat. Why I am so unpopular? Because of the small hours I cam? I cam on the same hours almost every day, is it because I don't do goldshows? My equipment is excellent, I have no idea what my placement is, but I am sure I am somewhere far from the first page. But why?

As long as you're happy with the earnings I wouldn't worry about extra eyes. They are pretty much useless peeping toms and very few of them would join for you anyways (from my experience).
I was always much happier when I didn't know the potentials, I started streamate.. eh. Long time ago. feels like a lifetime, but ive been there for all the changes and seeing the potentials was by far the worst thing they've done (imo). But I also have anxiety so the more in peepers the more stressed I get. I stopped token sites for that exact reason. Ied trade a high potential client room for 10 good men, anyday. As far as hearts go, wayyyy back I would offer a free photo for every favorite. (Ied ask them to send screenshots). The photos whernt xxx just suggestive. When I would do that I would gain thousands of favorites a month so If its something you would like to do Ied give it a try.
Once they start going tho its hard to keep up. Just ask them to put random numbers like "98277" in screenshot reply so you can filter them. Also tell them "dick pics will disqualify" because oh boiii will they slip them in there.

In regards to your potential members number, it is probably because you have geoblock restrictions enabled! I found that out recently too. My number usually says 0, but sometimes fluctuates up to 3.

So I just checked my messenger mode and I have several tips in there that never showed up in my day's or weeks pay. Aren't those tips supposed to show up as "other" in our earnings? Its saying I have 0 in other.....

That explains a lot actually!!! I have heard geoblock restrictions is not traffic friendly, but I thought that saying is that you loose traffic from the potential customers from the country that you have blocked. I think maybe whatever country you block the traffic goes bad.
Do girls actually use geoblock restrictions?
I remember once I thought geoblocking restiction is stupid after hearing that it messed up with traffic and in the same week that I didn't have my country blocked one of my old classmate conctated me on socials that she saw me live on Pornhub ad pop up "horny local girls". She wasn't a close friend and had no idea I was in the camming industry before that, it was an alwful situaion..

Great idea for getting new favourites, thank you! I would def try it.
When I make money I don't worry about it that much, but when I have bad traffic days I start to think about those things, that if my placement was better, if I had more "favourites", etc probably I would earn some money even in those days. And on the "good" days I would earn even more.

I don't worry too much about the number of potentials, I don't get massive numbers. Unless someone buys a Flash Tits from the gold menu then they multiply, my tits aren't even huge!

One thing I don't do though is look at my placement. I can't do anything about it and I don't really know where I'd expect to be anyway.

A quick question about the Lush 2 please! Mine seems to have stopped responding to Gold tips today. It has been fine last few days, battery charged, on, connected to app and showing On on SM - no apparent problems yet it won't react to Gold and it's been fine all day until now.

Does anyone have the same issue please and if so how did you fix it? I have turned the vibe off and on and also closed the stream page and reconnected. I haven't tried logging in and out again.

It's so damn frustrating because I can't see why it's not working!

I know it sucks, its incredibly frustrating to feel like you're being undersold. It feels so personal, but its not.
I had to stop checking SM all together. I don't want to know where my position is, or whos above me/below me or what they are doing to be there. I haven't been on SM in YEARS to browse! I watch other sites when I need some motivation. It just was all around bad for my mental health. Dont get me wrong, the other girls are lovely but its SOOO fucking depressing going sm room and seeing how little some girls do to be huge hits and Im really hard on myself so i just go "I could never compete with her' or see some gorgeous woman that I couldnt even look forward to looking like on a good day doing nothing and having men fight over her time and think "fuck all this, im going balls to the walls (literally.. there is balls on my walls) and shes being fawned over for rolling her eyes" and its just a whole bunch of negative energy that I didn't deserve to put on myself but more importantly the other women didn't deserve it because I would choose to be them if I could but I stopped checking all tougher. I have no clue where my placement is (like no reference for years) and I can tell you if I know nothing else about camming/streaming its that it was the best decision I've ever made as far as camming goes. The reasons above are just my own of-course, but if placement bugs you its totally a "lifestyle" i recommend. I assume I bop all over the place because ill go from a ton of guys to suddenly no guys' but it dosnt bother me because ive trained myself not to care about placement (I use 4g to stream, another thing I totally recommend and have a few tips for if anyone wants to try to use their phone internet to stream).

That was my long winded way of saying "i totally recommend blocking the sm base site from your browser, and never ever check your placement under any circumstance because you are under enough pressure as it is". Also i check sites like these to see if other people are having streaming issues, its always kept me off of the SM homepage.

This is SO TRUE! I had a really hard time camming in 2017 and staying motivated, depressed about my life, worrying about finances. Whenever I was on cam (and even when I logged off) I was obsessively watching other models and seeing how they run their shows and the money they make and how hot they are. I was going through all kinds of mental stuff and watching others make bank just made it worse.

Finally I cut out some toxicity in my personal life and decided to stop worrying about placement and watching others and just focus 100% on my room and try adding in other adult streams of income. Now I'm very happy with Streamate and my customers there! I don't know what or where I rank, I haven't looked at the homepage in years lol. I don't watch other models in free chat anymore either, I'll just follow them on social media to see what they're up to and how pretty they are :)

They had an update recently did you download it? That happens to me EVERY TIME there is an update. If that's not it - disconnect from your internet and then reconnect, and do the same thing on your phone if you use your phone app. Make sure they are connected to the same connection if you use a router

I do admit I check my placement but I don't obsess over it. I'm usually somewhere on page 1..ususally in the middle to bottom of the first page. I'm happy just being in that area. I notice if I haven't cammed for a week or so then I go to page 2 and I see a HUGE DROP in traffic. My traffic is slow during contests and I always drop to somewhere on page 2 during busy times when there's a contest so I cam in the mornings and am ususally able to get back to page 1 for some hours but it's still slow. Contests suck. When I'm online after about 15 mins I log into the homepage just to see if I"m there. If I am I log off and never check again. It's just like opening a door to another room..once I open it I close it.

What's with the mum-son taboo roleplays requests, I must receive 5 or 6 such requests each day. I decline all. Also a guy told me he is 17 I was really busy at the time, so didn't get to his profile in time to report.

If you are using the chrome browser with the extension you can just click on the lovense icon in the top right corner and the drop down will say 'update' at the top if it isn't up to date, you can click on that and follow the instructions.

I developed a uterine prolapse in June and was able to cam until last month (personal reasons). I was unable to do any penetration other than fingers. It was hard at first BUT only because my regulars were used to VERY active and intense penetration shows. Once they caught on (and the new guys were unaware of my previous abilities) I did quite well still on Streamate.

I suggest using the new Lovense Ferri or some sort of panty vibe (I used the Lovense Domi on my clit) since the Lush isn't an option. My BJ and dirty talk game is strong which helped too. Good luck to you!

(I'm finally getting my hysterectomy this month!!)

Yea, my vagina is to tight I can't even fit a lush in which is pretty annoying since most guys I deal with on free chat sites like CB etc always ask for penetration.
I'll check the lovense ferri out thank you :)

I haven't used toys in almost 3 years and I do fine! I'm sure I lose out on some customers because of it, but honestly, hardly anyone even asks. So it doesn't seem to matter at least in my case.

edit: and half the time I don't even do penetration with fingers lol.

Another I'd like to ask to how much does 1 gold convert to USD? I see you only keep 30% of profits, so if a user tips me per example 1 gold, how much would that mean?
Also if you girls get a lot of Gold tips in free or the money you make is mostly exclusive/PVT?
