Please stop calling out models by name. Not everyone is okay with that sort of attention. I can't tell you how many times cammers have contacted me to have their names deleted. If you don't see them actively posting here under their performer name, then please assume that they prefer to be more discreet.

Sorry, my bad, it was late and I wasnt thinking.

IDK how a guys mind works but I took a peek in "Name Removed" room yesterday and she had more than 100 potentials in watching a GS countdown. Without looking at stats I dunno for sure but my guess would be there's a very similar amount of traffic but just condensed into fewer places. Just using her as an example becasue she's been #1 for more months than i remember, and plucking numbers out of thin air because I just don't know.....on a normal day she'll do 2 hours and do 1 GS an hour where 100 peeps jerk off to the countdown and some of those buying in. But on a comp day she's got the top spot to bag so she does 6 hours online and 2 goldshows an hour with the same amount of guys jerking to the countdown and the show each time. That means on a contest day 1000 guys more than 'usual' are spending there time in "Name Removed" room and not floating round the whole of streamate like normal.

She is streaming a lot and has been using streamate loooooooong. She works hard, is a professional (in looks and work ethic). She has a great hustle! She moves sround, talks, smiles, nteracts when she gets the chance and is always focussed on making that sales .
Thats what I call a top performer and she deserves that spot! Its years of hard work and perfecting her hustle!
She is nr 1 putting in prob 10 tp 12 hour a day on contest for sure! I always see her online on contest day hustling like a pro.
being able to pull that long of a day with keeping her energy up , her smile on face and sexy energy , flirting/moving around.... after all those hours she keeps pulling of her hustle. That is NOT easy at all, as we all know, to not decline in energy and spirit.

The difference is the ones who put in extra long hours at least have some incentive to stay online. I don’t blame any model who wants to sign off after a reasonable time of trying if it’s not profitable or if there is no traffic. Our time and sanity matters most. Maybe she is making $5k a day or more so it’s worth it for her.

I hailed from MFC where it's the total opposite, girls make money VERY quickly without having to work crazy long hours. I’ve personally had many $1k-$2k+ nights in under 3 hours. The top MFC girls make like $30,000+ (USD) in one night sometimes. I remember seeing one top girl get tipped 500,000 tokens in one single tip. That's $25,000 usd. It was the first highest tip on the entire platform at the time. Now it's over 1million token tip. Maybe my problem is that I should stop comparing these two sites, as it does seems like the key to success on SM is to put in tons of hours.

I always heard mfc is not steady in income and there are also a lot of down next to the big ups. As opposed to streamate were money is more steady.
But yeah the 2 are not really comparable since mfc pull way more traffic because they use a completly other model vs streamate

Its inspirational isn't I'm I've never heard anyone say a bad word about her. And the same things get repeated for many of the big players on SM, they're on the air for years, they put serious time in and they keep their energy high and positive. I think theres a dozen women on the site who I fake a glance at when I'm having a bad day and how well they're doing reminds me it's still possible to make bank in this industry with the chaos of the pandemic.

I personally don't believe in quick money, I'm a firm believer that chasing fast money most likely will lead to it leaving as fast as you get it. I think in most instances, long term, consistent success comes from long term, consistent work. There's that saying isn't there, about how many years it took people to become an overnight success.
Obviously we all want to have a great hourly and be hitting targets in good time, but if ones main focus from the beginning is the need to make big money as quickly as possible, with as little time and work as possible and gets disappointed if it doesn't work like that, then I don't see how that's a sustainable strategy.
If someone has a reasonable figure in mind that they're willing to work to and makes it worth it for them, that overall figure or hourly can be built on over time. I'm not saying that people can't and don't make big money quickly, but how many months or years of consistent work did it take before it consistently happens??

I think accusing SM of rigging the contests and stopping select people from making money completely undermines the hard work and graft that goes into people ranking, no matter where they rank. Everyone's working at different levels and there will be people who earned the lower bonus prizes who will still have had to really graft to get there. If it's rigged for the top 10 models, why not the top 100 or 500 and everyone inbetween?

My experience with the contests is that I literally have to be all in or all out. There's no inbetween whatsoever. If I go into a contest and try to work my normal hours, I'll get little traffic, make a lot less money than usual and have a crap hourly.

If I'm up and at it from the get go, dedicate as many hours towards it as possible with the intention of ranking as high as I can, I'll get good traffic and I'll make considerably more than usual. My hourly usually takes a little bit of a hit but it's fine because I'll have made a lot more than usual, simply because I never put in 50+ hours on a normal week. I haven't got the stamina to work like that week in week out. I basically have to decide for contests whether I'm willing to hammer the hours out or take a hit that week.

Hi beautiful ladies. Contests are tough but I ended up second place. I just wanted to say that my traffic is also worse during contests, I am just making extra super effort like standing up the whole time, chatting , joking and even being nice (which is the hardest for me lol) there were hours when I made nearly nothing but because my prices are quite high and I always take extra for my special shows (and they are happy to pay) and sometimes I can make 450+ gold shows it compensated it . I can just make money quick and squeeze out all possible money out of each customer. I guess I am just good at sales lol SM doesn’t just float a traffic in my room lol I need to work for that :) you make money quickly-you get more traffic, plus I have catchy snapshots;)
PS: OMG freeloaders just really [email protected] my brains up this contest! Was never like that before it’s almost like they don’t know they have to pay lol
Apologies for my English (I am drained) lol

Girls, thanks for all the nice things you said , it really means a lot to me!!
I am pretty happy with streamate apart from connection troubles, I noticed the more models online the worse connection it is for me, bitrate is all over the place. It was nearly 4000 models last night. Competition is raising higher and higher, new star is born everyday. I just wonder if SM server can’t handle high volume of models/customers and ending up with tech issues. They should do something about it ..
Another observation is European/English guys never have problems seeing me/hearing me when American guys often have issues (black screen ect) which is a shame because they are the best crowd (money wise) Europeans are too bloody reasonable (cheap ) :D

Congrats to anybody who placed! I did not mean to offend anybody. When you have a bad day + some personal shit going on toxic thoughts can enter your mind quickly. And this feels like a safe place to vent because we all do the same job. So please no hard feelings, my intentions were not bad.

What I do stand by, is that I would like some more transparency from SM about these technical issues. A lot of us, including me, had problems with placement being all over the place, C2C not working, bitrate drops, et cetera. I mean, I get a text from my phone company if there are issues, why can't SM be transparent with us? That would benefit us all, high or low earner. I would also like for them to bring back the ranking page, so we can see where we stand.

However, I am happy to hear that I can stay online during slow times without it affecting my rank too much. Its a mindfuck when you have a bad day and you feel like you need to push through, but you are also afraid it will fuck up your ranking.

No hard feelings at all if you are referring to me xxx I totally get the frustration of not being able to earn usual $
Few bad days will never have an impact on your ranking . Still
If it’s completely dead I personally wouldn’t stream more than 5-6 hours because it’s reasonable time to understand what’s up today some days are just dead. ) . However I wouldn’t stream less than 3-4 even on a dead day cause it needs time for your room to appear for some customers (unless u placed very high)
Regarding tech issues well streamate is a business imagine if they send out a message about tech issues most girls won’t bother to come online and they loose income , they want us to stream as much as possible especially when it’s glitchy and it’s still possible to make cash even in these days just way harder

Yes to working ^ 2 to 3hrs increments when its slow then break and repeat. Alot of guys are at work or with family and may not be able to do a show til the 2nd or 3rd hour you are on. I just dont understand why some think working 1 or 2hrs will yield any postive results. Then give up for the day and come back and do the same thing the next day. Ive made 0 - $25 per hour before. It happens. Some days are just dead.com but every time its slow you cant just give up or say i will try again tomorrow. Its always tomorrow..tomorrow..tomorrow..tomorrow..tomorrow.. tomorrow. Why not try again today.

I'm at such a loss with Gold shows. I never used to be interested in trying them but I've been giving them a shot here and there recently but I've never managed to get one started. The vast majority of my shows are exclusive's at 10.99pm but a gold show at 5 gold? They're all like nahhhhh. Or they ask me what they're getting for the entry fee. Well. An entry for the show lol?!

I'm guessing it's something I'm doing but I have no idea what! Aside from the fact I don't do videos?

Yes in gold shows u deal With lots of cheapers unfortunately but some of them are willing to pay more much more than 5$. Sometimes I get 20 people in gold shows who paid like 5-10 and sometimes I have gold show with 5-6 people only who each paid 30-50-100$ They tip for videos and tip vib and sometimes they tip more because they just really like you and want the show to go on and sometimes I get like only 25-30golds but I still proceed with the show just give them vanilla things and convince them to pay more ( if they don’t I loose my cool call them names trash them , very bad advise, don’t ever do that lol)
Again good way to bring more traffic into your room even if the show wont come through some guys might take u excl
Requires lots of convincing and teasing :)
I have bunch of regular high spenders who only like gold shows I guess they like idea of a gangbang especially considering the type of my shows :) they have no problems in putting in 100-200-250$ obviously they don’t come everyday lol

Yes to working ^ 2 to 3hrs increments when its slow then break and repeat. Alot of guys are at work or with family and may not be able to do a show til the 2nd or 3rd hour you are on. I just dont understand why some think working 1 or 2hrs will yield any postive results. Then give up for the day and come back and do the same thing the next day. Ive made 0 - $25 per hour before. It happens. Some days are just dead.com but every time its slow you cant just give up or say i will try again tomorrow. Its always tomorrow..tomorrow..tomorrow..tomorrow..tomorrow.. tomorrow. Why not try again today.
Love all your posts in here . Always smart and give good advice

Thank you for your insight!

After saying what I said I just managed to start one after my 3rd attempt today. I've been on SM for running up to two years and tried a few over the past two weeks and never managed to start one before. Was nervous as hell tho so I clammed up and barely said a word. Worried it was a disappointment lol!

Oh my congrats u just need to get used to it and get feeling of it. Make good vids of u can they really boost earnings. I make around 700-800$ a month just through video gallery sales and much more in gold shows/free char sales. Guys love that u can offer them something as a bonus (apart for ur beautiful self) plus it’s great promotion . Solo vids I sell from 5-15$(Each) and couple is for like 20-25$ (Video gallery) Saying all that bare in mind if I stop coming online for a while nobody would probably buy them as they still prefer live shows , plenty of free porn in net so :) good luck!
PS: it’s good that u care to give a good gold show

I always heard mfc is not steady in income and there are also a lot of down next to the big ups. As opposed to streamate were money is more steady.
But yeah the 2 are not really comparable since mfc pull way more traffic because they use a completly other model vs streamate

Very true that both platforms are totally different - it’s just a struggle for me personally to stop comparing them and accept SM for what it is. SM might have a more steady income at a lower rate, but the inconsistent traffic interferes with this and that’s the frustrating part. Afaik MFC is where the serious cash can be made due to it's tip-based model. The top mfc girls do not need to stream crazy long hours to make absolute insane amounts of money. I’d say income is pretty steady, considering most veteran girls of the site can maintain their approximate ranks month after month, year after year. The very top girls make 6figures in a single month, other top girls mid-upper 5figures… in a months time. Again not working long hours.

Personally my earnings were fairly consistent on MFC. My monthly rank was consistent, in the same range. And my nightly goal was much higher than what it currently is on SM just cuz of the crazy earning potential. Like now I basically work 10-15 hrs a week on SM to make what I did in a single night on MFC when I cammed there regularly. I have anxiety/other issues and SM works better mentally for me right now… except during bad traffic. So I’m not willing to put in more hours on SM knowing the opportunity cost of instead putting that time on mfc :/

Too bad your anxiety is preventing you from working on mfc if your earnings were so much higher.... if its that faster than might be worth to just stream mfc for the moment and do very short shifts? Instead 9f trying to work longer shifts on streamate?

The way I look at it any model who is satisfied in general with their earnings, and can keep a hourly wage they like after putting in 15-20hrs could put in an additional 10-15 hours for a contest week, rank and come out ahead. Everyone has to crunch those numbers and decide if it is worth it for them to put in the effort. This isn’t going to work for everyone. It helps if you have consistent earnings and a very flexible schedule. If a model is unhappy at SM they will for sure be unhappy during a contest. I wish it was different

These two days aren’t worth it usually because the prize money messes with the above number crunching.

For top 20 often the actual prize money has little to do with their equations of how much to work. It is a competition in the grander sense.

I like to work no more than 15hr/week and I’m alright with my actual weekly earnings, except during contests or just whenever the traffic is trash. I seem to have *at least* one bad shift a week no matter what thanks to a major decrease in traffic. But it usually averages out at the end. Contest weeks my earnings are always down. Doubling my hours, or even just working 10 hrs more, during a contest seems impossible for me personally. I don't mentally do well in a dead room and I lose all motivation. It's very different coming from a site with tons of traffic & fast $$$$ where the sky's the limit and anything is possible. Nothing feels possible on SM when there is nobody in my room at times LOL

Like shouldn’t my $2k/$143/hr week have helped me out in some way with the sorting algorithm? Except it didn’t, cuz the next week traffic was noticeably worse. On MFC any improvement in hourly earnings makes your camscore skyrocket, thus boosting your site placement and only creating more opportunities from increased visibility. On SM it seems like there is no rhyme or reason to traffic. Endlessly frustrating, forever a mystery

I do 2, maybe 3 hours a night on SM. Maybe if it's really good 3-4 max.
It's like impossible for me to go on mfc right now cuz my anxiety is literally *that* bad and I'm going to shut up now and stop cuz this is a Streamate thread after all lol

I do the show even at just one buy in and ONLY do what I promised for GOAL. Some guys will join midway (my shows are longer 7-10 min) and some guys just keep tipping during the show getting me to goal and I do as promised in the description.

Yes Sorry girls for the confusion, yes I ended up second and you previously were taking about girl who won first place but I took all that compliments about working hard and being awesome on my behalf anyway haha :D :D yeah you could probably say as I am not native English speaker lol however I also don’t believe in “pushing” traffic or shady shit during contests so it still stands . I feel stupid anyway :D
Bare in mind they were teamed up with another top model of course they get 100+ customers. Couple shows especially with 2 amazing top models are extremely popular. Nevertheless it didn’t affect my earnings at all

Girls, thanks for all the nice things you said , it really means a lot to me!!
I am pretty happy with streamate apart from connection troubles, I noticed the more models online the worse connection it is for me, bitrate is all over the place. It was nearly 4000 models last night. Competition is raising higher and higher, new star is born everyday. I just wonder if SM server can’t handle high volume of models/customers and ending up with tech issues. They should do something about it ..
Another observation is European/English guys never have problems seeing me/hearing me when American guys often have issues (black screen ect) which is a shame because they are the best crowd (money wise) Europeans are too bloody reasonable (cheap ) :D

omg if you are who i think you are.. you are my cam hero. ive never seen anyone command those cocks the way you do.
when when i popped into your room, you even compelled me personally to send you gold ,and i did ..haha
you squeezed money out of a fellow cam girl within 1 minute ...so imagine how you drain mens wallets in exclusive.
and some how your hair always looks perfectly done .

Also regarding Gold shows, I've tried to start three now with no success, joining the club but I'll keep trying!

I wondered a couple of things. If guys join during the show do they still pay the same amount as if they joined before it started, even if the show is nearly over? And can you extend a show in progress if you want to and if so how? Also for a model like myself with a fairly small following would it be better to try to start a show for a small amount, far less than I would get in an actual show, just to get it started? I don't want to look desperate but on the other hand it is always better to be earning something rather than nothing.

Oh yes, presumably the xxx seconds free at the start doesn't apply with Gold shows?

Hey ;) the goal amount depends on your placement/ amount of people in free chat and if you do have videos for sale or not and tip vibe is useful tool for that as well. If you are on second page(or lower) I wouldn’t go higher than 30-50-70 for sure. If u are first page but not experienced with gold show I wouldn’t start high than 100 u can always squeeze more within a gold show. Once u have more experience u can put more but don’t be afraid to experiment you got nothing to loose. I personally put 150-200 but I offer special shows and I got bunch of vids , sometimes it goes through sometimes it doesn’t and sometimes I get way over the goal . Talk tease convince then to pay keep telling them what they gonna see in a gold show . No u can’t extend the gold show time once it’s done that’s it. 5-7 mins is optimal time for the length of the gold show. Yes u are right it’s always better to earn something than nothing . I would start with nearly ANY amount just do way less than I promised abs convince them to pay more.

Thank you hun so much for this. I would add that I’m new to cam and I find that sometimes offering a lower target goal works cos guys think they won’t have to wait as long for show to start. If you don’t have loads of vids to sell too like me, then when they go into a show they can tip you more and you can end up making more. Don’t be ashamed of making your target less! I’m on first page and I go from 50,80 to 100 target depending on traffic feel of the day xx
