Profile updates I've noticed will only happen on weekdays and then only in the daytime. If I update on a Friday afternoon I can forget about any changes until mid Monday at least. If I update weekday daytime it still takes a few hours. God knows why it's so slow and also why they take 3 days minimum for Support to get back to you. It's ridiculous. If it takes three days get a few people to clear the backlog and make it a few hours. A big clip site I use has the BEST customer service, a helpful reply in under ten minutes, any time of day of night. It can be done!

yeah ive been in the industry for 10 year and Sm has never improved their model support. There is a bit more communication this year since the discord action (even then, in the official discord, there are no mods or verification). But the relationship between Sm and its models is very abusive feeling. Customers can speak to support live 24/7, but models, sometimes dont even get a reply about not being able to earn. Its so disrespectful. But here we are, unable to escape or change cause its the main income for me and so many of us.

Yeah and also if you want to delete 1 star under 3 mins rating , you loose you placement few raws and get worse traffic for 3-4 days until they reply to you. , nuts. Make 24/7 models support ffs

What do you guys think about over exposure? I've seen a lot of posts about Streamate placement that recommend around 30 hours per week, and they said too much more than that risks over exposure. Most of these posts are several years old though, so I don't know if this is relevant anymore. I like working more than that, but if it's going to improve my income then maybe I should split it up between sites.
I'm not brand new, but I'm still figuring things out.
Wow I scrolled back a few days and I feel like I missed so much. I literally was sitting here eating my popcorn for breakfast and watching the drama unfold. Good morning!
a few years ago it did seem like everyone was claiming they worked like no more then 15 hours. I always felt shitty because I had just gone full time and was working 35-40 hours often. Barring the reality back then I don’t think it counts now.
too many hours at low pay might lead to crappier placement, but hours alone shouldn’t. During contests which are at least a week of every month, lots of models are working 40+. Unless I was in a jam I wouldn’t do more then 2 low earning hours at a time.

Ah I think understand what you mean. You think if you are there basically everyday they will get kind of bored and don’t have time to miss you and such which kind of make sense BUT based on my experience it’s opposite once I start streaming everyday many hours (contest week) there are actually people who are coming everyday and your favs raising instead of dropping. Also you cover different time zones so there are people who never seen you before/were not able to play in certain time plus streamate benefit those who are streaming Long hours and also yes u can have 1-2-3 bad hours but if you stream 8-10-12 hours it won’t matter much because traffic comes in waves
You will still have to stream during slow hours in order to get good hours later. For example if u make money quick in 3 hours and then it’s slow and you decide to quit it would probably means you start with slow hours your next shift (well that’s what I think )
Now saying that of course there are generally better hours during these 24 and slower hours
Damn sorry I sound confusing

The more you work the more you will make, in the short and long run. More hours = more $$$$.
If guys are bored of you they won't visit you, simple as that.

Something is up with SM today. I've had loads of ins and outs, members coming in leaving then coming back only to leave again.
I've cleared browsing history, reset modem and router, restarted my laptop, refreshed my stream, I mean everything and it's just shit today on SM.
Not cool at all. This is frustrating. SM just WORK!!!

I went and cleared everything as well. Still no change on my end either. Had there of not been any issues i would've banked because i saw so many regulars who wanted a show but kept complaining about our rooms being glitchy. When i logged in initially it was fun, tons of tips and a few shows and POOF, spent the remainder of my shift just sitting there cause not a single user could stay connected. A few freeloaders managed to ask for free tits before dissapearing into the dark abyss.

I have the Lush 2 & it really helps give me a reason to pull more in. I'm a Domme & often have subs tip to please me when completing tasks. It's useful in free chat too. I often encourage members to tip 25 to 50 GOLD to make me cum.
It def pays itself off fast. My Jive was paid off in one shift & so was the Lush.

I don’t think there is such a thing as overexposure, especially because a lot of the top models I see, and not just on SM, seem to be online all day every day. My hourly average always goes up more the more I work. We have a literally infinite customer base to work with, there’s a new guy for every guy that gets tired of us.

it’s definitely a tax write off! The only gray areas is beauty and plastic surgery. Talk to your accountant. Furniture is “office furniture.” Lube, toys, outfits, phone-all tax write off. My accountant is conservative because I don’t want to piss the IRS off. Internet and rent can be written off, but just a portion. I would have been screwed without my writes off. Save the receipts!

^^^^ What’s over exposure? I don’t think there’s such a thing?
That's exactly what I thought but it's a direct quote from one of these guides on how to improve your placement.
"Our top earners do the following:
- Put in decent hours without over-exposure (20-30/week)
- Take short breaks to refresh every hour or two
- Keep a consistent schedule
- Remember and take notes on their shows and paying customers
- Have good cam quality and good internet - bad quality stream hurts! If you're serious about your job in the long run, invest in good stuff.
- Talkative, personal, interactive with clients in free chat
- Attractive in their chosen categories (attractiveness is not always looks, force of personality plays a big role)
- Charge enough (and/or make goals) so their time in paid is high AND their earnings per hour is at a decent level.
- Mind on their money, money on their mind - up-sell, side-sell, soft-sell, hard-sell, pay no attention to those you're about to leave in the dust."
I like to work in the morning for 4-5 hours so I can check it off my list, and then I have all day to do whatever I want to do. I live alone and at night I don't really have anything to do most of the time so I would rather go back on cam than sit and watch Netflix. Honestly working 8-10 hours in a day split up doesn't feel like that much. I still feel like I have so much free time during the day, and get a lot of sleep.

Hello.
I have a doubt about the new rules regarding the change of country.
I live in England and I want to prove my residency here.
The people at the site asked me for proof of residency as an ID issued by the government. Come on in, is the driver's license a good proof of my stay in England? As you know IDs are no longer issued in England and I wonder what other method I could use?
Are there girls who have encountered this problem? I need some help please. I appreciate !
Thank you

i dont think we have to worry about it too much. Think about a name brand bag. If everyone has it becomes less valuable. You want some scarcity, so they buy. Truly I don’t think we have to worry. There’s so many new costumers. We aren’t high end bags. We’re cam models. Maybe like a a famous cam model wouldn’t want to release too much content at the same time. I wouldn’t worry about it

Does anyone know please if I can attach anything I like to a customer's message in Messenger mode? Are the attachments monitored at all? I've never used the attachment facility there as most of the messages are drivel but was thinking if I could send pics or even videos I could get them to tip for them in free? I have lots of content on other sites I'd love to offer but I can't as it's watermarked with my other 'name' from those sites. Would it be a problem to send them through messenger for tips?

I don’t think that is true. I just glanced at the top 20 and it’s still somewhat early in the month to reflect who will actually finish the month in that range, but most of those veteran girls stream for just a few hours a night. I don’t think it is common at all for top models there to put in 15 hours days on the regular, maybe once in a blue moon if it’s a camathon.
Mfc is known for big, fast money which is why they can make tens of thousands of dollars in a single night or in a single tip and rake in six figures a month, bc it’s less about time worked and more about the insane tipping culture. Tipping is a sport there in the gentleman’s club that is Myfreecams, men love to show off and compete with other members to get their fav girl to the top

You made me curious so I checked only a few of the top 10 and you were right! The average seemed to be more like 4 hours!
Which would more likely support the argument of 'log in only when your biggest spenders are online' And make % of time in paid chat be the main priority so you can get the best placement

My rates are high and I don't offer much in free chat so I have to do a lot of hours to spread my net wide. It just depends on your hustle. The ladies that hustle hard can usually get by with fewer hours. I'm lazy and would rather just wait it out for the big spenders that are willing to take me private/exclusive to experience me. Figure out what works for you, not what works for another model.

4-5 hours is correct. The top 10 have a wonderful, generous and well trained room of LOYAL regulars. It's an orchestra which makes a perfect symphony of music

there was a top girl on SM who left SM a few months ago. like closed her whole account. and is now on MFC. wonder how her earnings compare. i cant say her name on here but she was often #1 in contests.
i think she does a gamming niche.
