The take I believe is 65% , performers get 35% so 1 Gold = 35c.

I've been wanting to try streamate for a while, but as someone who doesn't do vaginal penetration besides fingers is it worth it?

I'm a foot fetish specialist who rarely uses toys other than for footjobs & do considerably well for myself. I'm marketed as a Domme who does get nude, but rarely do I penetrate myself. There are plenty of fetishes to cater to that do not require penetration: SPH, JOI, CEI, foot fetish, CFNM, Strap-on, humiliation, degradation, etc.

You can do well without penetration.

You don’t even have to do fingers if you don’t want to, or any type of masturbation show at all. You could do purely tease/worship shows, fetish, fem dom, nonnude, etc.

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..

i've been on SM for a long time and have had long periods of time with geoblocking on and off.

the two main reasons i had it on was to prevent local people from finding/seeing me, because at the time i had another side job that was very social and public. my main concern was getting doxxed. the other reason i liked having geoblock on was because when you geoblock you are WAY less likely to have any of your SM content uploaded to tubesites. this is because a lot of what gets uploaded comes directly from streamate or a white label, because they are allowed to use recordings of your live shows as "promotional material" as it is stated in the contract. however if you have geoblocking on, they are not allowed to do this, so the amount of your shows that end up elsewhere on the internet decreases dramatically. it also means they won't use your photo or live stream in porn ad pop ups.

i had geoblocking on for about two years, though i had been on the site without using geoblock for about three years prior. the first month or two that i turned geoblocking off, i noticed a substantial decrease in traffic and a lot more "dead time" in my room. but i just hustled harder and converted a higher percentage of the fewer customers coming in. i made *slightly* less money on average, but was still generally able to hit my goals, though with more time/effort.

a few months ago i turned my geoblock back off. my traffic has increased a lot and it's made me have a much better/easier time financially than when i was trying to cam in 2020 with geoblock on. there are just a lot more models online these days because of the pandemic, and having geoblock off definitely seemed to improve my placement and traffic.

I am a toy model, toys cost extra in private which means probably 40% of my privates don’t have toys and privates are less then a third of my earnings on average. I already get so annoyed beyond belief at the guys who can’t read and demand toys all the time. I am not that patient of a person though. Still if you don’t want to use toys put that info somewhere on your profile for your own mental health.

I enjoy toy shows so I am coming from a different perspective and customer base. If you market yourself well you can kill it doing no toys.

^^^ oh SHE said she saw you on porn hub and you were embarrassed...lol. Still I understand. I have mine turned on. Maybe I ought to turn it off. The first week I did a guy came online and said I looked like one of his neighbors.

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.

Thank you, I haven't got any of those things haha apart from the Connect app on my phone, I followed the instructions on SM, turn on vibe, connect to app, make sure connected to SM, that's it. Are all the things like browsers and extensions needed? It did start working again today so I don't know what was going on with it!

If you don't mind answering, how much extra do you charge for toys? I have considered offering extra for vibrators, and other certain things. I just don't know where to begin as far as price points.

I just do 10, weeds out the guys who think that’s a lot, who are gonna be demanding anyway. Also assures a longer private which will get more guys joining. Toys stop when the guy who tipped for the toy leaves.

I do plenty of finger/vibe only long shows, they usually fall into my exclusive category though. Those are guaranteed to be personalized down to the name, outfit, cam position, etc. Since I don’t really do gold shows I like to offer a flexible crowd pleasing show in private.

Anyone else deal with an insane number of dudes who refuse to read? I make it SO clear that I don't accept cam2cam or requests in private, and I also have in huge letters NO LOCATION QUESTIONS on my chat bio, but every dude asks where I am in Australia and i get 1 star reviews when I won't jump through hoops for demands in private chat! My god! men hurt me haha

On the bright side SM is so good at removing unfair 1 star reviews!!

^^^ I just lie about where I’m from. I tell people where I’m from originally, places I have lived, or general area. Helps build connection. Tell them you are from a place you vacationed. Guys just want to connect. Give them a BS answer and they’ll be happy.

I took my geoblock off cause I heard it slows traffic. Of course an an ex pops in. Well his username was my ex’s but his name is unique. Surprised he didn’t say something? Still though...unnerving.

Thank you! Charging for toys is brilliant, and I like your hustle. I agree that privates are much more profitable than gold shows. Privates are always my money maker.

I try to do this wherever possible but they're only ever asking because they think me being in the same country as them (Australia) means they have a chance with me. It grinds my gears so much. I've started saying I live on the moon

Those guys who think same country= possibly of meet up are always delusional.

A large chuck of these guys don’t know how to flirt. They lack social skills, or at least they do when hard. It’s just a question that they feel is more polite to ask before telling us the dirty things they want to do with us at the moment. Some guys skip the pleasantries all together. I just state my region just as I do on here. Anymore questions and I will then usually give a bitchier answer. I just give my initial location answer with the same energy I give when they ask how was my day. They often don’t give a fuck about our answer.

Here, within US, generally they hit early am.

Yes, I have a few different ways to encourage more to join in private. One way that sometimes works is keeping a big price difference between the two, and I offer more things in private. Many girls on here like exclusive better, but the group experience works best for me. I love gold shows but they don't seem to do well anymore.

sorry new to posting and this was meant to answer the Australian lady's post.
Been reading the posts for awhile now and this is my very first posting, been with sm 11 years this april and camming 18 years all up.
Thanks for all the lovely ladies posting on here with all the great information!!

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

Oh yeah, fair enough. That makes sense. I just broke down and bought a Brio which should arrive later this week and I'm hoping I like it better/it can handle my mood lighting a bit better.

Do you/anyone else have the issue where SM only lets them zoom in once with logitech camera settings? It's not super helpful

Yes, I experience the same with the logitech cam settings software. With Logicapture its possible to zoom more, but that slows down my computer, so for me thats not an option :(

"U can never know when a whale joins to your room and makes your day."

It's totally true! After a quite slow hour, a random man I have never seen before and had no member status, just started to admire me, and giving huge emounts of gold, I have never got before O.O Altogether ~ 300 gold in big portions, I was just like what the F is happening :D

has the tip vibe issue been resolved / are tip vibes working properly?

my new lovense toy just arrived in the mail today and i want to get it set up, but it would suck if i went online to test it out and nothing was working. would rather wait to "debut" it on a day i know the tip vibe feature is stable.

same, been shit all week.... traffic has been lame too. Struggling to put my minimum hours in I'm so bored.

Tried restarting everything multiple times and bitrate is between .10 and .40.... RTT is bouncing between green, red, and yellow too... like is there any point to being on?

SM has been pure garbage since the 1st.... it's been so slow that I literally have to ask myself if I'm even logged in

has the tip vibe issue been resolved / are tip vibes working properly?

my new lovense toy just arrived in the mail today and i want to get it set up, but it would suck if i went online to test it out and nothing was working. would rather wait to "debut" it on a day i know the tip vibe feature is stable.

it works for me lv2

Why do I have a whole bunch of 'thanks for the shows' tips in my inbox when I wasn't even online yesterday? None of them are showing in my earnings.

Same...and they're all from shows I did in like 2017 and 2018 because I have notes on their profiles that they tipped (that exact amount) after the show they did. Holy glitch batman!

^^^I was gonna say, I think one of the guys I got a tip from is someone I have blocked.

They are fucking with the algorithm for placement. I think that is the cause of the tech/traffic issues at the moment. When I view the front page, I see all models from my own country first and then the top models from other countries.

Something that popped up in my mind, especially for models outside the USA: If you want to stay a little anonymous, consider geoblock. Now that SM changed their placement algorithm, models from your own country are always the first ones that will show up. Even if your display country is changed. Which means: Every website visitor from your country will see you first. Everyone from your country who sees a Pornhub Live ad or any other ad for a white label (PH Live is the biggest so I used this as an example) will see you first. So if you are from an EU country/small state and want to stay anonymous, please consider this and enable geoblocking if you think that would be a sensible thing to do.

I am myself always a little hesitant to use geoblock tho, because I am afraid it will affect my earnings too much. However I am from a small EU country and I ban people who come into my room from the country anyway so... Any models on here who use or used Geoblock, how does/did it affect you traffic and earnings wise?

I only started in January so don't have any comparison, their second payment has not arrived. Received the confirmation of wire last Friday stating had been sent Thursday, should have appeared by now. My bank say there is no reason why it should not arrive, I have triple checked the bank details and the first payment arrived fine although did take 2 working days.

Contacted the country rep yesterday and today, their first response was to ask had I reached the cash out limit, yes I did which is why the 'we've sent transfer confirmation email notification' and account on SM went back to zero the previous Sunday.

Omg tonight I went online for an hour so many ass holes, free loaders and rude Twat’s shelling out nasty comments . Made my skin crawl, ended up just logging off. This morning the perves were lovely, clearly night time had an effect on them today ������

same, except for one guy who tipped me $50 after a show in 2017 but in the message today it said $25. everyone else showed the same amount they tipped between $5 and $10 several years ago. weird. i emailed support to let them know.

I wrote a bit about this on the previous page in a recent comment. Geoblocking will likely have a noticeable effect on your traffic and earnings, at least in the beginning. For me it took a month or two to readjust my hustle and get used to the lower amount of traffic. I had to put in slightly more time and effort to be able to earn my regular/pre-geoblock goals, but it wasn't that bad. I somewhat recently took my geoblock off after having it on for over a year and I definitely have considerably more traffic again.

Hi all. Yes, we are working on a fix - these old messages should not be displaying. Ah the pains of improvements! We'll get it handled, sorry for the confusion

yes i had an issue also with my lush2 today, it wasnt reacting during a show where a client tipped 50, then 25, the 25, then another 50...
i rely on the vibe to actually work to get a natural reaction. which i couldnt fake today.
ofcourse it had to not work during HIS Show. uggg.

oh no! that sucks to hear, and is exactly my fear about advertising that i have one and then having people tip. i actually want it to work so i can have genuine reactions.

i'm gonna wait til one of my regulars is around tomorrow before i use it, he said he'd help me test it out for my first time.
