ok. My last question for the day. I totally had insomnia last night b/c of stress. So I need to go back to bed so I can cam.
What is the best way to do Amazon? If I ask for gift cards should they be to my sm account mail or my gmail? Also I noticed on the wishlists that it gives your city, state. UGH. Can the guys find out info with the gift cards?
Thank you!!

Have them send the GC to an email acct..nothing with any of your REAL info. I have a gmail with my performername...As soon as they send you the code, you can redeem it on any AMAZON account, that way you can send yourself whatever without having to worry about them knowing your location, city, etc.. I don't think they can find it out with the GC...

Don't be so hard on yourself sunshine, I have days like that on cam when I haven't even taken time off! (*laughs*)

You'll get your groove back soon. Be gentle with yourself in the meantime. ❤

As soon as you make all those requested items available, no one will ever ask for them again. :)

Okay, I know this is a super stupid and basic question. But just to clairfy:

1. Guys can see us ban other guys?
2. Guy can't see us kick other guys?

Thanks lovelies!!!

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I've searched this thread for 'watermark' and 'watermarking' and can only find posts related to photos.

Are you allowed to watermark your stream with your performer name? I've never seen any girls do it so I figured it wasn't allowed but wanted to ask anyway.

Depends on the site.

With Streamate it seems that you can get away with watermarking if you are a top girl.

But what don't they get away with? ;)

Girls, where are the forms (performer agreements and age verification) I'm supposed to print and sumbit?:O
In the Streamate Agreement I only have a virtual contract, and in the ID and Headshot I only have - well, an ID and Headshot that I should picture/scan.

As I said, on the Streamate Agreement section I only have a virtual contract that I had to sign. On the ID & Headshot section, these are the only two things I'm being asked to submit.

AliceFun
05-08-2013, 05:30 AM
Maybe they changed procedure recently and that virtual contract is all u need to sign? I hope its like this cause before u had to print, sign, scan, send by email all documents, it was a hassle.

Nina_Den
05-08-2013, 07:27 AM
That's why it's weird to me, because I don't recall having read anybody talking about a virtual contract. I always read posts about the hassle of the documents...

What the heck is up with all the guys that are taking me to private.. sitting there for thirty seconds and not saying a word and logging out, I have had 3 today and its about on my last nerve.

i had a few of these last night when i was on 2 of them rated me a 1 star. i ask them what kind of show they want i get no response start taking off my bra at 30 sec and do my 'default' thing 40sec-1 min in they leave. and my average stars went down to 4.5 because of that.the kind of guys that take me pvt never say bye and just leave randomly during the show so i never get a chance to tell them to rate me after the show is done and most dont is that normal - for guys to not say bye and not rate you ? i think i might start asking guys to rate me in the middle of show in the first 30 sec is that bad taste tho ?

AliceFun

@ ShySara: There are more possibilities why this is happening: they cant connect to chatroom properly so they cant type therefore they leave (a good regular told me it's happening to him and he is an Ipad user), they trolls and do it on purpose just to rate bad or to make us unavailable to other members (i had regulars leaving my freechat and never returned that shift because i was taken pvt by somebody else who did not even stay in).

@SnowyStar: i feel ur pain ladies, yes on SM is alot of room for abuse, we models dont really have tools to fight these abusers and i am really pissed off on Sm for that.
I decided to use the preset message with new members especially regarding rating, i do it when about to start the show, it sounds like "Dont forget to rate me 5 stars when we are done if u enjoy my show, thank u in advance, it'll be highly appreciated xxx".

The "performer agreement" and "age verification" ARE "the contract". If you're signing anything else besides those two documents, they've added an additional step.

Nina_Den
05-08-2013, 10:49 AM
But then why does every single model talks about printed documents with details you have to feel in, etc? I don't have any of that.

And on a different note: I see so many of you discussing the 30-seconds-peepers thing constantly. I HONESTLY don't get what's in it for SM? Why would they possibly allow it?

It seems like they may be trying to be more progressive about documentation. There is legally no difference between an electronic signature, and an ink one. So, filling out online documents saves time and probably a whole lot of hassle. I've never printed any of my documents out. I have a "stamp" I created of my signature and use that in adobe.

Most girls aren't really a fan of talking about the 30 second rule in the public area (guys lurk here). But, the short answer, is that it prevents a large amount of charge backs and fraud.

What do you mean he tricked you? As in, he made you believe you were in private chat when really you were still in free?

I saw the private window we were in, just like always. I performed. He left. I sometimes have a hard time hearing the sounds going into and out of shows but I'm very vigilant about paying attention. All seemed to go normal. I checked my paid time online and earnings and nothing. I notified SM and have yet to hear back, so who knows? I can only suppose if the 'glitch' is not SM's, it's mine. However, either way if a member is 'tricking' a a girl I don't care if it's out of a few dollars or a few hundred dollars, it's BS. I thought I should put the word out.
It's not possible for a member to make you think you are in private if you are not. I am confused to how this member did anything wrong. It sounds like a streamate glitch.

I just woke up and got an email from support they took down my ratings w00t and my star average went back up to 5 but i still see 1 star rating in the earnings - is that normal?. Also went and looked thru my earnings over the past few weeks and it seems like i dont get busy untill around 9pm my time and i log in at 7pm and i get off at 1a gonna try logging in at 9p and see if it helps me from going crazy and help my paid vs free time and help my placement. Its gonna cut my shift by 1/3 tho but tomorrow im going to try daytime caming until Sunday. I have to get off at 1a and get ready for mfc at 2a if daytime caming on SM goes well im going to change my shift on MFC too and just cam during the day and live like a normal person : P

Yes, that's normal. It allows you to still keep track of how a customer rated you while not affecting your overall ratings. They changed the rating page a while back and it's a change for the better. It used to be that the ratings disappeared but the average didn't change which was very confusing.

I just wanted to let you know that I did a very long private the other day. It was a 80.00 show my cut and I freaked out because it wasn't showing up on my stats for a good 5 minutes. That has never happened to me before. The only times it's been like that is when I did a gold show. It corrected itself though and I felt better. LOL

Is it true that non-US models get 30% only (even if they didn't sign up through a studio)? I read they tend to do it to Eastern European models - I wonder if this will be the case with me (Israel) too? :/

Nina I just recently( like 2 WEEKS AGO) sent in my electronic paperwork for a solo account. They had us scan and all that bs jumping through flaming hoop shit when we did our couples account. They're ridiculously slow. Like they must have one 90 year old person who doesn't know how to use a computer in there approving 1 case a day.
I even tried to email Vanessa. ( probably the only other person there)
You would think the electronic siggies would make the process faster. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

I have a question/issue, wondering if anyone could help me..
I contacted SM support two weeks ago about getting gold shows enabled. They said it will be automatically enabled when I reach certain criteria (that I happen to match)
I have a 5 star rating, have been on continuously every night for the past 12 nights or so, make a decent amount per hour. I use the encoder on the correct, updated settings. Still no gold shows... Should I wait it out or is there someone I can contact to get it enabled? It seems weird that it would *automatically* come on. There has to be someone enabling it I would think.

My queses is that the SM system is not showing you as meeting the requirements.... I would Email SM SUPPORT again with screen caps of you encoder and your cam pic showing the HD Icon above it.... that should force sm to look into the issue and not just say that the system will give it to you when you meet the requirements.... But then good luck

I signed up on SM on my own (not a studio) and i get 30% only, i am an EE national. I asked a very important person on SM why i get only 30% and i got the answer "that's how we do it with certain nationals". Huh? I call is DISCRIMINATION! You guys can find another reason why they do this? I cant.

Yes, it's horrible, and I have a feeling they are going to do it with Israel, too.

Wow, that sucks. Do you charge more because of it? I plan to set my rates at 4.99/5.99 because I don't think it's going to be worth to go any lower, what's with the 30%...

No, I don't, I charge 2.99/3.99 at the moment, but mainly because I have pretty slow internet connection and not so perfect stream. I will try to slowly raise it and will see how it goes..

May I ask how well you're doing with these rates? I did some math (taking in consideration the 30%) and I must admit it was a little off-putting. :(

I did some math (taking in consideration the 30%) and I must admit it was a little off-putting. :(The trick to SM is charging AT LEAST $3.99/$4.99, idealy more. Any lower and you just plain don't make money. And as weird as it sounds, when i raised my rates, I noticed a huge decrease in trolls and ridiculous requests and 30-second peepers(I charge $4.99/$6.49).

Thanks, Jaana. I'm pretty sure I'm going to charge 4.99/6.99 starting from day 1. Just curious about the 30% things, seems to be strangely arbitrary...

I guess you will just have to try and see by yourself. It seems that they do this to Eastern European countries, but that doesn't say anything about Israel. I would really like to know what is the reason for this, because it is not fair. :(

I earn about 15 bucks/hour on average day and I agree that is not much, but I only started camming regularily about a month ago. I will try to raise the price slowly, but the problem is I don't have so good placement right now(2th-3rd page) and am scared it will get even worse, if my pvt time decreases.

Me too. Days might be slower but less assholes in my opinion.



I just woke up and got an email from support they took down my ratings w00t and my star average went back up to 5 but i still see 1 star rating in the earnings - is that normal?. Also went and looked thru my earnings over the past few weeks and it seems like i dont get busy untill around 9pm my time and i log in at 7pm and i get off at 1a gonna try logging in at 9p and see if it helps me from going crazy and help my paid vs free time and help my placement. Its gonna cut my shift by 1/3 tho but tomorrow im going to try daytime caming until Sunday. I have to get off at 1a and get ready for mfc at 2a if daytime caming on SM goes well im going to change my shift on MFC too and just cam during the day and live like a normal person : P

So, I keep seeing it mentioned everywhere online that new models shouldn't have high rates (MAXIMUM 3.99 for either premium or exclusive) and I am a little worried because, as I wrote already in this thread, I'm gonna go with 4.99/6.49 from day 1 and I won't settle. Is that going to cause me trouble? /:O

Nope! Stick with it! Guys come to me every day that have never seen me before and they are willing to pay my prices (4.99/6.99) so it doesn't matter how long you've been on the site...you're always new to someone. You deserve the higher price so demand it and don't settle ;)

New means nothing.. I'm new there and my rates are at 4.69/7.69. Yeah, my percentage in paid chat is a little low, around 22%, but its decent money. I'm probably averaging around 30/hr right now.

Hi, sorry if this has been asked somewhere else. Searching on SM's rating system isn't giving me the answer. How long does a viewer have to rate us after a show? Is it only immediately or can he go back retrospectively and 1 star us? I currently have a good average but one guy is getting ridiculous in his requests. Should I be worried about retaliatory rating? Thanks.

Everywhere..? Everywhere BUT SW!!!
I did $3.99 for one week... Then $4.99... Then $5.99... Lol
Now I'm at $5.99/$9.99..
I should keep raising it, if they like you they'll pay.

Supposedly 45s unless it glitches.
Ban him If you are uncomfortable and if he is rude, I ban assholes in privates, not often but it happens. Just because they are payin you doesn't mean they own you and can try to make you break your comfort zone.
As for retaliatory ratings, if you recieve one email support and explain the situation politely, they will remove it for you.

To the ladies wondering about why EE countries are paid differently by most cam sites,Im pretty sure atleast some of it is discussed/explained in this thread HERE (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?183847-What-amount-of-camming-money-is-worth-all-the-quot-contras-quot-of-this-job-newbiebaby)
