Be sure you have it formatted with the https:// thing in front (not http://, and also there is no no www in there: https://yourcammodelname.cammodels.com
Thank you SO much! This was so helpful

At one point in time out of depression I literally streamed in a full on hoodie and I was paid more out of mystery LOL. Men are weird. “Why buy the cow when…”
Brb gonna grab the biggest sweatshirt I own because trying to look appealing to the male gaze doesn't seem to be working on SM anymore. Heck, maybe I'll wrap my whole body in a blanket so all they see is my face. Whatever gets me more $$ than i made today lol

I'm starting to think tik tok live might be the way to go lmao, no seriously! I see girls just sitting there fully clothed with a low cut top and people tip them just for existing and talking about the most generic boring stuff! I'd love to get tipped just for looking pretty and not have to actually do anything
Wait what?!?!? I had no idea you could actually make money on there. I thought it was just a video sharing site where you could do lives but not actually make money on it! I'm going to check this out!

Yep! sometimes while I'm scrolling through the app I come across random livestreams, and people tip "presents"or "flowers" that they spend real money on. It's a rather new phenomenon on tik tok, people at home with nothing better to do just sit and talk to people and get paid whenever someone tips. Not entirely sure how it works, I'm sure they make a percentage like we do but all they have to do is sit there and talk to people... Hell they don't even have to interact with people honestly. I saw a girl with the camera on her hard nipples through her shirt playing on the computer ignoring everybody. Maybe that's why cam sites aren't doing as well I don't know. Sucks sitting online all day on a sex website looking pretty and getting naked when others just exist fully clothed and get paid more. Worlds not fair, man.
Edit: I don't actually know if they get paid more or not but I know (for example) most female twitch streamers get paid for doing no work at all, they just...exist on camera and live in luxury apartments lol

I see the banner now too and support told me I was already verified. Why can't we get in contact with the 3rd party for tech support? If they want them to handle our documents at least put a contact phone # for help. How hard is it to put a VERIFIED/PENDING/NOT VERIFIED green or red banner at the top. Just constant confusion and stress for us. "One-Time Verification" my ass

Do you guys do block shows often? I just put my rates all the way the fuck up because its slow as hell- so I added in the option for block shows. I'm a bit confused by the 'although you will not be penalized should you decide to disconnect' message after the time is up. Surely if we 'should' disconnect they'd just build that feature in? ;D
So do you guys leave once the block time is up, or just keep going? I kept going as it was a reg and my prices were high af anyway, but idk if that's best practice?

I've heard tiktok pays absolute pennies compared to other sites like youtube and twitch though. You need millions of views to monetise your videos as a whole, and on live you need a shit ton of viewers to get enough gifts. I tried to google it a bit and saw a post of someone saying they only made $24 off of a video that got 1.6 million views so...yeah I don't think people are making much from views alone.
I found the conversion rate for the gifs for lives though- a diamond is 5 cents, a coin is 2.5 cents. I think people mainly send roses, which are 1 coin aka 2.5 cents each. You have to exchange from coins to diamonds, then diamonds to actual money. It's a bit confusing but there's an explanation here https://www.alphr.com/how-much-are-tiktok-gift-points-worth/
This is making me want to watch some streams to see how many roses/gifts people are getting on average now!

I keep going bc a 10/15% discount for a guy who's already had 15+ minutes is fine by me. I think they're trying to emphasise that if you (not the customer) end the show while it's still within the block time you will lose money. I've never disconnected early but I assume we'd lose the whole block, like what happens with goldshows.

I don't get many block shows since I raised my prices. If they are willing to stay 15 or 30 minutes at regular price, that's fine by me. My experience is, most guys keep going beyond when their time is up. We should absolutely not disconnect. That's their job;D.

No.. they rejected said there is no photo of any of us holding IDs, and also poor quality... but there was no option from the phone and link doesn’t work from the PC . Now I don’t even have a link . Wtf (
So we followed their instructions, did what we were told to do and now we all have to resubmit because it wasn’t right?
How can it be so difficult to give us simple and correct instructions? And then some sort of confirmation to say whether it’s been accepted or not? Seriously. Surely they’d save a massive amount of headache for themselves too!! But what could I possibly know. Lol

This verification shit is a fucking mess. Submitted last week with it only asking me for 3 steps (front of ID, back, and selfie). No pic of me holding the ID. Didn't get an email or anything saying I needed to resubmit, but the banner popped back up and wont go away! I've done it like 3 different times now and I decided to just say fuck it and hold my ID in the selfie step since there is still no step asking for selfie with holding ID! Idk what to do besides email Liz, I don't want my account to get closed!
Did you all receive a message about the rejection and reason why, and if so was it in email or over SM messages?

This is insane. Can I ask, you ladies who submitted okay, at least those who never had any message there was an issue, are you going to do it again with the new message? I haven't had anything to say there was a problem with mine at all so should I do it again? I don't want any issue on the 15th either.

It did the same for me so I resubmitted them again & now the frigging thing is back. I messaged support but haven't heard back.
I got asked to take the selfie with the id near my face from the very beginning, I did and everything was ok, banner disappeared the next day and never came back. Do I understand correctly that some of you who got the message back was not asked to take the selfie + Id picture initially? Is this the reason they asking to re-verify?They for sure are making the whole process soo difficult for everyone.

I didn't have any issues and haven't had the link pop back up since it went away. When I did mine it did it all via my laptop and webcam, what I got asked was a photo with my ID next to my face, a photo of just my face, then front of ID, and back of ID.

I keep going if block time went well and keep them in the show as long as I can. I find that guys who do block shows are only willing to spend for whatever time they paid for and bailed once their time runs out.

I always thought that if I raised my prices when its slow that I would make less because people are already not spending and being cheap, but I'm seriously considering it...lol
as for block shows I let the show go on until they leave
edit: I just did a 15 minute block session and he left 5 minutes early cause he already finished. gotta love when that happens cause we get paid either way lol.

Hi hun yes that is correct I WAS NOT asked for an ID beside the face image.
As you can see it's a generic-worded message. It doesn't seem like it applies to me. But why don't all accounts see it then? How hard would it be for SM to send out a MASS MESSAGE using their own system on the site to all verified models "congrats you're good to go" and another to all models "there was an error, please resubmit your documents"
This type of banner is just asking for us to panic. Be CLEAR. Not all of us are english first language

I've tried again as the banner came up for me and it still asks for front and back of ID and just a selfie, no selfie with ID. I can't fit my ID into the selfie to even try it that way, it seems to not accept the camera held landscape, so I have to hold it vertical, but then I can't fit my ID in without blocking my face. I'm using my passport.
What a mess!!
Edit: Managed to complete it but then it said it wasn't successful due to a backend server error. Managed to do it again but it scanned my face as I blinked, so my eyes are closed. Now the banner has gone and I can't resubmit. What am I supposed to do now?
Nevermind, the banner came up after a bit again. I will now continue to wait in anticipation for my fate lol

This!!!
I came here again to say...STREAMATE, where is our communication?
I had no message that my verification wasnt accepted, but here we all are, wandering what the fuck is going on cause Streamate changed something AGAIN and has not bothered to tell us a single thing.
Its soooo fucking exhausting to have to research any shit that changes on forums and through gossip and speculation when they could just send us a damn message.
We give them 65-70% of our money and we dont have dedicated support and clear communication?!

On a lighter note, I wish we had the option of making the verification photo when we stream each day, our live photo. 9/10 it always looks miles better than my million attempts at the live photo thereafter!

I initially tried to do the verification about a week ago, but didn't proceed because it was asking for ID in my old name. I thought I had updated my name, but maybe I skipped something, or maybe it has to do with the fact that I am with Boleyn. In ANY case, I have since been told that to get this corrected I should add and verify a second performer with my new name and ID. Which seems like a weird way to do things, but whatever.
I've tried to do that, and after I complete the process the ID section on the "add performer" page says "submitted" for about one minute. Any time I reload the page after that it goes back to instructing me to "start section" again. I have no idea if that means my ID is being rejected or what. I haven't gotten any message one way or another so far (I can just see on the dashboard that my second performer is "not allowed to appear on camera"--but my signature/agreement haven't been accepted yet, anyway).
I tried to submit the ID multiple times. I tried the second time because I wasn't sure the first completed successfully at all, since the screen on my desktop refreshed while I wasn't looking and returned to the dashboard. Usually these ID verification things refresh to a screen indicating success, so I figured I missed that or it timed out or something (but no, it just goes back to the dashboard each time).
I was only asked for the selfie holding my ID the first time I attempted to submit. Each following time that step was skipped and it immediately gave me the QR code. I am also no longer asked for the holding ID photo if I start the process for my old name/previously verified user. I do have ID with that name still on it, but I assume trying to verify that one would fail without the first selfie anyway.
To me it seems like the selfie with ID is something Streamate might have tacked onto the process themselves, since it was requested on my desktop browser before what I assume was the transition to the actual third party verification after being shown the QR code to move to phone. So... no wonder it's not working properly, really.

I resubmitted and my account was closed. I was notified by email. I emailed SM support with no response. Then I emailed Kelly, I think. I received another email tellingt me to log on and resubmit again. I don't know what I did wrong the first time and am scared they are just going to close my account again without telling me what I did wrong or what they are looking for. I emailed aking but have not gotten a response. Any advise ladies?

Hi y’all! Has anyone had to get a check resent? We’re there any issues/did it cause a hold up on future checks? I have USPS informed delivery and was supposed to get my check in the mail Tuesday according to their pictures but I never got it. USPS is absolutely no help.. I was already planning to switch to direct deposit and this was the last nail in the coffin for me. I’m just concerned about getting this last paycheck without causing issues with any future ones..

As someone who got checks for the longest time, I just changed my payment method to ACH and I am so happy I switched. My check last week was 3 days late and had me worried because rent was due. I emailed Liz and she told me USPS is backed up really bad so everyone's mail is coming late. Even more reason to switch! Its only a $5 fee and my money was deposited yesterday when I usually got checks the following monday. I see theres an even newer direct deposit option called MassPay added too

I am not sure but I don't think so, I think you'd have to request a re issue if it just never comes. In the payment info tab under ACH it states that direct deposit wont kick in until a week after you switch. When I switchedI got one more check that was already mailed out and the next week I got it through direct deposit.

This is from Liz when I asked if everything was okay:
It looks like your proof of address has been approved. For the ID verification there was no picture of you holding the ID so they were rejected. We are working on the link to get you back to the verification area so once that pops up, try again, let us know when you do and we will check the IDs.
