Is there anyway of geoblocking on SM?
yes you can, on your main profile page, click Edit Geographic Restrictions. Its one of the options under your bio pic in the middle of the screen :)

$25
it states: "If you earned at least $25, you will unlock a 50% match on the total amount. For example, $100 in eligible earnings means we will match $50, earning you a total of $150. If your eligible earnings are $1000, your total earnings will come out to $1500!"
No minimum of 25 hours required! woo!
edit: I am still going to put in as many hours as I can to take advantage
LOL so am I .

Ladies, something is going with streamate, because this week my chat lags SOOOO bad. It's crazy. I type, and it lags, it is literally slow, then takes a couple of seconds to send, when there re several users, it's just insane, I feel like I am using not i7, but some old computer from 90s. My browser is crazy busy, my laptop is hot as hell, and this is the only site and tab I open!
What the fuck, seriously.
I have the lag too, I don't have an i7 but my stream is usually very good (i7 will be obtained in the new year).

Yup, I only type in all my shows. When the lagging started, I thought that was because I'm highly medicated then I read on here and confirmed it ain't me.
They're sorting shit out that's why next week is 50% bonus. Don't clutch your pearls too tight next week!

I wish that the streaming on SM was easier tbh. I mean I need a Very high speed connection to keep streaming. But like fibre. Download 185.75 mbps. I don't think you can higher than this. Now on Aw you can with just a simple wifi. I m not expert but yeah then customers in cam2cam they look pixelated also. More customers users friendly lol. X

Advice please! Should I just stop saying hello or talking to members? And just turn sound on in private. I mean 99% of the time when I say hi to a member they either ignore me or just leave. Drives me insane! It’s not a good time at all. And really don’t know how I will maintain my sanity or cool even for a few hours. Hour 2 of just pop in and leave! Like WTF! Do you all have any tips how to deal with this?
Don't take it personally. I think they're like browing the merchandise. Like going from room to room to see who they like

And how can they figure out what they like. I mean they like you enough to click on your room…..stay all of 10 seconds…don’t say a word and leave. That’s is 99.9% of the traffic I get. I feel all I do is waste my time. I think I’d make more on welfare at this point.
are you only on sm?
reading your posts it appears like you need more than 1 egg in your basket

I just need to quit camming for good at this point. It’s just not fun, a constant source of stress! What’s the point just in and out 24/7 on there. Just in tears again. After 3 hours of this total bullshit!
I may very well take too many breaks… but I peaced out after 20 minutes of lameness. I’ll go back and it will be better somehow. Schedule yourself some breaks!
Give some cushioning to have time to leave them hanging and leave. Maybe you work in a studio/are beholden to someone else’s schedule, but you can still do that for yourself.
If you can’t get out right away, what’s stopping you from rebranding yourself? It would at least be a better distraction then these losers. don’t give them so much of yourself for no reward.

Not sure what I'm staying up for at this point. It's really dead and the people who pop into my room aren't worth a damn. I really just got this dude in my room, pretending to be a girl, talking about "herself". GTFO! I'm giving it another 30 minutes, then I'm going to freaking bed!
Every girl is online right now! I'm making minimum wage at this point. :banghead:

My bitrate was all over the place. My 3 year old keeps waking up and I keep having to stop my stream and console him. I made $3, I'm going to bed.
I hope it's better the rest of the week because this was just awful. I feel like I wasted my makeup!

Just curious does anyone on here work everyday? Or curious how many days and hours? I usually can’t do more than 4 hours 5x a week .
However, I believe some work everyday….and I have no clue how…especially at the holidays. I think it’s good to take breaks so you don’t burn out…and also to focus on other aspects of ones life…such as friends/family.
I sometimes work everyday. But I'll only do like 3 hours at a time. For me I get anxious taking days off because for a while I decided to work 3 days for 20ish hours but it was SO FUCKING SLOW those days. I never work more than 3 hours at a time because it seems like traffic just dies after that.
But yeah. I've started to force myself 3 days off and it's amazing

Try hovering over the bottom right of the black window. You should see an icon that looks like a screen enlargement icon. Click that and it'll pop up a new window over your stream that shows the camera feed. But make sure you turn volume up because it's muted by default.

Back after a horrible day Thursday and taking Friday off. And it’s the pits again! Went my first 40 minutes without even someone saying hello to me. Like why are member so rude! Just pop in say nothing and leave. Don’t even click on my room. I am about in tears again!
I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. Honestly that's how it is for me. That's why I split shift. It takes me about an hour to gather any decent traffic and then I make bank for about 80 minutes then it's dead all over again

It's hard sometimes. Yesssss of course! If you are working in sale everywhere isn't better believe me. No every day is a good one. When you own a business there are days lost, timewasters (physically y can not block them or kick off lol). I worked in corporate but even as stripper escort. Slow days and/or bad day are in whole package. Unfortunately. Eheh I don't like this however happens to everyone. How you use react to it makes the difference. Hustling .

Lol, how about those of us who put 200 hours months. If you wanna win at camming, you gotta stay online as much as possible. I still have days when I make like $60 in 12 hours and days when I make $1000. Camming is not all riches only, it's serious ups and downs. You gotta stay online and rinse and repeat every day, if you want success on long term. Read the "Stay the fuck on" thread. We keep posting in there and it will help you get trough.

I hope it will really help you clear your mind about deadness on cam. It's all my "struggle" since I started to put 10-12 hours on cam in the past 2 months. I am on 3rd month of consistency and my daily earnings increased even more. It really pays off, but you gotta be patient. Read trough all the thread tho, because it's ton of useful info on how to deal with deadness. Complaining won't help. Taking your net out of the water too early won't help. But toughening up and accepting the deadness, going trough it and starting all over again tomorow, will definitely help. Now, since it's dead, read these posts, I am sure it will help you! Hugs!

Have you read this thread? Every time a new model gets on, in the past I've always suggested spend time reading yes, this entire thread.
I did before I posted anything. You'll learn so much & be brought up to speed.
We've come & gone & come back again. Ups and downs. Site outages "Steeamgate" "hell week"
It's an exciting soap opera.
Camming isn't for everyone. I had years of working as a stripper that helps me a lot. Know how to sit down with a guy & shoot the shit helps.
Liking men helps. Not everyone can do this.
But lately it seems, " I'm pretty, I'm ready I'm here, why aren't I making any $$"?
No one knows why. Traffic? I had great days due to very few regulars. Tons of traffic? That doesn't mean paying traffic.
No guarantees is the only thing that I can promise.
Not everyone is cut out for this. You have to find something special inside yourself. CONNECT REACH OUT to the fellas that come into your room.
Those names are living breathing people. They need
YOU to create a reason/connection to go private & come back again.
If you just don't have it in yourself, then that may be the reason to leave.
Don't mean to sound like a hard ass, but when it comes to making a living & the all mighty dollar, you gotta get real.

I can relate to all this..
I just jumped back into camming, been on &off for years.. yesterday, I put in 13 hours, not bragging o' complaining!
It was fairly slow, to me, for a Sat.(got a few shows) it was frustrating too, not only the 'shopping' guys, but the fuck brains who ramp up like they're going to do a show & bounce, like they totally get off on that.
Also, they totally 'prime ' their self so it's a shorter show, less$ for them
All part of the job, I've also tried combo-ing w/regular jobs, part time etc, but right now that's slow too. Plus it's super hard to do.
Anyway, best of luck, hang in there good luck.
Thanks to Cutie & everyone for their input & tips!

Yeah, when back in the camming game (like I did), or in general in camming it's good to focus on the hours goals. Set a goal and stick to it, it can be deader than a graveyard, focusing on the hours every single day and not taking the deadness personal, can lead to super satisfying monthly income. I think it's the strongest advice I can give there. Of course, there are others to take into consideration, like others said, but focusing on HOURS GOAL and sticking to a schedule no matter what, is the daddy of the advice out there :)))) You don't have time to be demotivated and go offline because you had a couple of slow hours, because you are stuck to achieve your hours goal so... yeah, gotta hang in there :)))

HOURS GOAL and sticking to a schedule no matter what, is the daddy of the advice out there
It just needs to be highlighted again and again. You can't build a following without some kind of consistency and that's on any streaming platform
You always have to invest and change with the times. INVEST in your internet, your equipment, yourself and your time. Always be investing

I can't find it explicitly on the Code of Conduct page either but it clearly says this on the SM FAQ. https://streamatehelp.com/streaming-rules-faq
"The terms “daddy” and “mommy” are not banned and may be used during your shows. However, the context of these terms is important. For example, “spank me daddy” is acceptable. But “show daddy your X year-old sister” is NOT acceptable. If phrases such as “daddy” or “mommy” are used to suggest incest, non-consent, or underage sexual activity, then they violate the Streamate Code of Conduct. If a member uses these terms in this way, stop the scene and then report and block them. During an investigation, this report is a positive sign that you are helping us keep this content off the site."
Code of Conduct states nothing obscene "including but not limited to...", so even though incest is not specifically listed in the list it's been pretty clear via support responses on this forum as well as the FAQ note that it is not allowed.

I try to say hi and be friendly to the members when they enter. But most never type a word and leave. It makes me feel like they don’t see me as a living human being.
And yes I spent many many hours reading this thread and others being making an account
Well, that's how they are, & pretty much going to be.
I personally try to get past that, for everyone that cruises by there's going someone(s) comes in that wants me, we do a show..

I'm all for venting and ranting but there has to be a balance.
When back to back posts are 'the sky is falling...' or it's always a sad story or bad day(s) that's not healthy. I find it problematic when the constant complaining brings down the moral of this thread. I find that sad!
I get it, this is the only community that can relate to what people are experiencing but we all have the responsibility to be mindful. We do ourselves a disservice when awesome advice are not heard or received when they get pushed to the back of the line while complaints and rants completely took over.

Not to shame her but I felt that from the very beginning. That makes me sad because no one is used up. Everyone can find something that they're thankful for.
Our lives don't have to be perfect for us to feel proud.
I picked up on depression and other issues so bad days feels like bad months. It's a vicious cycle. I hope anyone feeling this way get the help and therapy their deserve.
On a random note, I can't think of Kentucky and those who are impacted without saying 'MY GOD!'
I can't imagine losing loved ones or the pain of not knowing if they're dead or alive.
Losing so much of what people have worked so hard for. It's unimaginable!

I felt really sorry for this lady. I think we have all had days of sheer frustration with the job, I know I have! The support of this forum and other ladies is what keeps you motivated and to keep aiming high . Life is a lot about mindset and I agree but depression is no joke and my heart goes out to anyone battling this.
Sending healing energy to her, I hope she gets inspired by other ladies on here or finds a career where she flourishes .

I just want to say thanks to everyone who participates in this thread with solid advice. I took this last week off to visit my long-distance boyfriend (probably a bad move considering it's the holidays), but I returned today to find they added my Break button! I've also been getting the blackout c2c glitch lately, and using the pop-up button does indeed fix it! The site has been crawling at a dead pace for me since the middle of last month, but I've found if I just stay online as much as I can, I feel way less discouraged in the long run.
Hi! Need a tech advice!! Ahah Can I send in group mode a video to my clients already in my inbox list? I checked however seems I can not attach files!! Am I doing something wrong?? :p thank you

�� We have recently removed the option for non-US accounts to select "Check" as their payment method. ��
Please make sure to choose a new payment method by Jan 15th to avoid interruptions.
I'm going to miss seeing checks in my mailbox.
Right now I'm using Paxum, and will get Cosmo payment as a backup.
I'm skeptical about these online options

wow, i didn't mean to start something but I had to ask
my advice if you are sitting on cam bored, its easy to make videos when camming (foot fetish is a good one) even if its 10 buck a day earned, thats 300 extra monthly to cushion the blow of camming sometimes
all the clip sites and not just one
you don't need a full production or nice camera as guys love amatuer w a webcam or even a phone.
