Does sm accept passports as proof of photo ID anymore?
also, i recently started a new account and under the room topic it says "This feature is temporarily disabled." and will not let me edit it... is there anything I can do about this?

As long as it's a government issued ID it should be fine? Although idk if there are certain countries they don't accept passports from
The room topic feature has been disabled for everyone for months now unfortunately. The easiest work around is just to adjust your show description to include stuff you would've otherwise put in the room topic

How much do you guys set as your goal to start a Gold show? I've never done one before but am considering it for NYE! However idk if a high goal will be off-putting to members?
The only experience I have with group shows is on token sites where they pay per-min rather than an entrance fee. Is it a good way to make money on SM and do the guys still tip once they're in, or would it just be less hassle (money-wise) to stick to exclusive shows?

Slavery is forbidden right? All time I said to them that they are leaving lol. I mean call me whatever you want but not slave. I guess that I m the only one follow the rule? Am I wrong? Slave the word is not allowed??

Yessss! I often watch cams and pick up good behaviors that will work in my shows or free chat. It's hardly..."why is SHE making money?" It's often..."so THIS is why she's making money!"
Hell yeah. I'm a congratulator rather than a hater. We are all trying to make it and we can learn from one another. If people wonder why women are on page 1...just peep her room and you'll see.
She's so SEXY! She's embracing her assets and clearly comfortable. I'd give her my money hahahaaaa!!!

I set mine at $300 or so, lots of guys count on you not making goal. Hoping you will cancel it and start a new gold show for a lesser price. Rarely do I cancel gold shows, many guys join right after it starts.
Also my first gold show is the cheapest and I increase the price to join each one by $2 after that. So first one $6, then second gold show $8, cam for a bit and then $8 for the third gold show. I don't do back to back gold shows, it is about one every two hours or so. But my most expensive gold show will sell better than all the others.
I don't worry about hitting the goal, it is nice but not my objective. There will be one to 3 guys who have never bought a show from me before that will get a taste then be taking me private or exclusive to become regulars. So I am thinking long term. Not that it has ever happened, but if only a handful of people join it then so be it. I record all shows & cut it up for content. So I will be making my money off of it one way or another.
Keep in mind, do NOT let them train you... You train them. My motto is that "I only get more expensive as the days goes on and more than happy to make more money off of you later."

usually its foot worship or bbw worship when i deal with the slave term but usually just the name.
the one member named "slave", you could feel his heart through the screen when he typed "im starting to hate this site" :( lol
that was when models went ban crazy last month not knowing what to do.
"Slave" is still around, roaming rooms, sometimes i think he is sm support until he said that, it made me wonder is he a real customer?
Im nice to everyone unless I am having a bad day so i see a few guys weekly that never bought a show but say hi. its doesnt bother me in case ppl wonder why i dont block non spenders.

Can you seriously no longer use the word FinDom on your profile?!
Is there any way to see how many models are on cam anymore?! Took several days off over Christmas and New Year cause it was simply not lucrative for me to get on cam, this december was the slowest ever for me in the many years i cam, AW was also not worth to be on so i decided to rest and enjoy holidays.
I used to see the number of models online on some whitelabels but not anymore, i just wanna feel the site vibe, guess they dont want us to know the total number of models online anymore lol.
Happy 2022 fellow camgirls, may this year be better for us all!

If you click all the regions at the top of the screen, it will give a total- right now I am seeing 551 models online
@KatM You can see the number of online models if you check, for ex., all the options you have on Regions or other filter. Now there is about 400+

Well I just got a new cam now I'm told it's grainy?
So I shut computer down completely, gonna restart.
I noticed after I stopped my show, went offline, it said error connection prob.
One of the guys logged off w/connect problem too?

When they tell me my cam looks 'grainy' I have to fix my lighting, if it's too dark it makes noise on the stream. Is that what they meant?

Are you new to camming?
Have you looked at any of the threads pertaining to these topics?
A lot of these guys like to browse, or just look or waste models time.
Also they like to ramp up like they're ready to do a show, then bail.
I take breaks as I need to, but try stay on a lot too..
Hope this helps

Wished members happy new year and no one even responded.
First of all YOU ARE NOT ALONE ! I just had a day of 4 hours with no shows and only tips. It happens. Don't take it personal.
And were you speaking to them or typing? SM has SO MANY GLITCHES lately it has been crazy for me too dear. I would bet they could not even hear you or see your chats. Blame the glitches and try again is what I do LOL

I verbally chat. It’s been almost 3 hours and only had 1 short show. Last year in a token site I made bank. So this is really disappointing to me. But streamate is a different animal. And again the guys just pop in say nada and leave. Just made me very sad to start the new year like this.
It can be a glitch if no one is responding at all to you in a longer period.
Could be that they cannot see you.
I have seen models listed as online and showing up at the front page, and when you enter the room it says "model offline"... when i re enter the mainpage the profile still appears on front page listing as online.
There is also a glitch were models are listed as being in pvt or excl... when you wnter their room they are not reachable bec client gets the "in in a excusive show" page.... but the mod itself is in freechat and waitimg for customers who cannot reach them
When their are contests, there are more clitches.
Yesterday I had a disconnection while being in exclusive. Guy was actively tipping on tip of paying per minute, and bam. I was kicked offline
Also i had glitches after coming out of pvt/excl with al costumers being gone all at once and no one reentering
I try to change browser when a glitch seems to be hitting my room... Firefox seems to be worst for me. Chrome is ok.
When i use Firefox less clients getting in room.and almost no chatting. With Chrome my room is working better
Try out diff browsers
Type to them and ask them if they can see and hear you ok
Sometimes they cannot see you but can see the chat, so this might help you get a answer from them (also some dont use sound for wife not finding out;) )
Have a line that you paste infreechat for pushing interaction instead of only talking. Just paste it over and over again (for same reason; some guys dont use sound)
Logging out and restarting the streaming page sometimes help for a glitch
When the glitch is persistent log and and take a break and work on spme other platform or income stream. No use sitting in a not working room with no way of earning income

Anyway, after another 3 hours of no shows and what feels like pure torture I have decided to leave streamate and camming for good in 2 hours. Most of the time it is just members popping in saying nothing and leaving. Even my regulars are doing it now. And it is not fun or profitable. It’s a sad way to start the new year. I have had decent traffic but it’s crap. Just pop in…say nada and leave. It’s beyond frustrating and there is nothing I can do anymore. Tired of it all
Dont be tired. And its prob not your customers denying or refusing to talk
After hearing your online time i am convinced it was a glitch. Your customers were prob not able to communicate with you or even see you at all
There has been a glitch were models could not see any texts thatcustomers were writing in freechat
Could have been that your room was also affected by this
Lots of glitches laten on sm
Now it contest so its even worse
Even for full time models contest time is for a lot a harder time to earn proper money, so for you re entering it must be brutal. See how it goes whem there is no contest too, bec it is very very different
Dont let it affect your future outlook on money that can be earned
The guys are still willing to pay
When room is not proper working they cannot pay you of course
Also dont expect to earn what you did after just returning. More girls online nowadays, and they throw massive Deals on the contest days... like a lot of vid Deals from topmodel to get them to #1 contest spot.
Have patience and try again. You will regain custies.... but you will have to regain visibility again and they will need to learn that you have returned. This will not happen in 1 day or 1 week or even 1 month.... this needs rebuilding. But it will go faster since you allready cammed before

hi i dont know if i write in right place . i was model on streamate long time and i dont understand whats happend i hd prv and guy ask about videos so i say ok i do and put them on streamate site and then he tip me it was big tip for 2 days , but i think not the biggest one and then few days later while i was on prv i got info my account is closed , its realy strange coz i got email that some customers fraud money , but why they close my account i dont do anything wrong how can i knw that someone do something liek that ? i wrote to streamate few eemail but not answer until now i feel disapointed coz they not even write about my all money from 3 weeks back nothing they tell me i dont report it ad thats the way account close . but again how can i know if someone give me bigger tip i need to report it ? someone know or have situation liiek that ? what should i do ?
I have done that, logged off back on. Members can see and hear me. It’s not that, I’ve asked, they just come in and leave. Some now are popping in and saying hi and then leave after 10 seconds. I guess cuz they don’t like what they see. I truly wish I never logged in today. Just wrecked my New Year’s Day.
I know how u feel and I am sorry ur start was not what u expected, thats just how SM is lately for many of us, it's not lucrative anymore, out rooms are dead or just like urs, in and out and nobody talking or spending. I have friends with same issues, like it was said above our rooms might look open and ok but for members it's showing u in pvt/excl or offline when they try to enter or video is not loading fast enough and they leave, traffic is directed to popular rooms especially on contests, so on.
I am on this site for 12 years now to know how things work, it's a pattern.
I stay on Sm for the little money I am still making cause is still something than nothing. I am on AW as well and somehow I manage to make ends meet.
I am too old and disabled for a vanilla job and not willing to put up with freemium sites either, I tried and it's not for me.
I avoided getting on cam today cause did not wanted to start my year sad, frustrated making nothing considering its still contest and I make no money during contests or on Saturdays.
Good luck whatever u decide to do, just telling u not to have high expectations on this site, it's not what it used to be.

Try to contact them and explain the situation, it's absurd to be made responsible for what members do, how can we know who committed fraud from all the members spending on us, what are we supposed to do, report everyone for 'spending big'?!
This is also my nightmare on sm that one day they could close my account for who knows what reason after they did this to my friend twice, first they said they closed 'by mistake' and the second time for fraud of a member same like in ur case. Liz opened her account back so try contacting her at
[email protected], she is amazing and will most probably sort out ur situation, good luck!

Happy new year to everyone. I am not sure if I should continue to cam anymore on SM.
I think if you don't like the site and are putting in regularly decently long hours and making little to no money, then why not try somewhere else? There's nothing wrong with checking out different sites or switching things up and we're not contractually obligated to stick on SM!
Of course if you think you could be trying harder on SM or it might turn around, then sure keep going. But if all it is doing is making you miserable then switching might be beneficial. On my last token site I stuck it out through nine months of it being slow for me (I literally could've grown a human in that time!), I'm glad I gave it extra time but ultimately moving away from that site was the best decision I made in 2021. Different people do well on different types of sites, so it is possible that SM just isn't a great fit for you.
I don't say that to be discouraging at all or try to put you off, but it's just a reminder that you really can just do what you want! If it's not working then mix it up ;D
If you click all the regions at the top of the screen, it will give a total- right now I am seeing 551 models online
Thank you everyone who replied to my question, I still can't see any numbers anywhere, maybe cause I access the site from my country which is blocked by default, I will try with a VPN.

If I stay on long enough (over 5 hours) it usually balances out and I do decently, nothing spectacular. However, I become an emotional wreck when all members do is pop in and out, and don’t respond to you when you engage with them. And then I question if what I did finally make was worth the emotional toll and on days like today the answer would be “no”. I just want friendly members who engage when they pop in. Isn’t that why members come into a cam room…engagement with a live person. Or am I wrong?
I deal with it by splitcamming when it's slow to prevent myself from becoming frustrated or bored and logging out. Even top hosts have slow days. I start with my busiest site (usually Streamate) and if it's super slow I add more sites until I start getting more money coming in.
Shouldn't take it personally when members don't engage. Some guys might be shy, some might not have money to spend and some are just assholes. Eventually you'll get conversations going if you give it time. (For me personally I'd rather they just stay silent go straight to private instead of talking my ear off, lol).

For my peace and sanity, I don't engage or even say anything to guys first unless they're regulars.
I give them a few minutes but if they continue to stare in silence, I kick. My anxiety gets triggered when I'm being stared at in silence. There are plenty of hoes that let stupid runs their rooms but I'm not one of them.

In a worse case it will get back to SM or it wasn’t send at all . It won’t be lost but I am sorry it happened it sucks I know. So do u think u will stick to masspay from now on?
