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 still for masspay from now on?

I don’t know. I’ll let you know when I make my next transfer lol. This time around I’ll get a friend to double check the details before I press send.
I guess everything is delayed cos of the holidays hence why they aren’t responding to emails

Bloody ridiculous. Have you received your money ok? I made a mistake on my swift code and not had the funds, emailed them twice and like you zero, I’m guessing they may be off until like the 4th

Most of it. I withdrew as GBP into an account that can accept euros and gbp but for some reason it failed/cancelled and then didn't get returned to my account. It got returned 4 days later minus the $4 fee and successfully withdrew it into the same account as euros.

Quick observation: gold shows are only surviving on video sales and u literally have to describe how good your vids are the whole pre show and speak dirty , teasing doesn’t work at all they do just watch and don’t pay. Well at least in my case.

I personally do not do gold shows, but from observing others do them, the willingness to tip in and engage has gone waaay down. The few times I have checked a gals room during a gold show, the vibe is so off and it's not because of the model. These dudes just.... sit there. I think a lot of them genuinely look at it as a free show, because if other guys are tipping for the model to get her tits out and move around, they feel more guaranteed to see that kind of thing and they can jack off real quick before the model starts the show. but like all freeloaders, they have no intention of actually paying and only 1 or 2 guys will ACTUALLY tip and thats just not enough to motivate a model to entertain a room full of empty wallets..

Plus I notice guys will try and talk the girls ear off more if they notice other guys are tipping because they think she won't notice that they aren't the ones tipping but reaping all the benefits of engaging with a pretty girl. I know a lot of us Cam girls are very smart and witty and these guys think that we aren't paying attention but we pay attention to literally everything. The quality of customers has gone downhill and it definitely reflects in gold shows.

^^^ Exactly like I predicted in 2011 when they started with the gold shows, I said back then in this forum in 2012 that on the long term they will not be lucrative anymore. They made the members quality on site severely low like on freemium sites.
That's why we get people in and out all the time, they look for free stuff, same like with the gold shows, they freeload w.o paying.
I also believe in bots, the ins and outs w.o anyone talking for hours could be very much bots so we believe there is traffic on site.
Call me nuts, I don't care, my prediction turned up true and I dont want to predict that SM will close one day same like Ifriends did but... can't be positive this site will last for too long, for some good years on ifriends only their top models were making money and at a point, bam! the site closed for good. Sm is following the same pattern unfortunately.

There is still money to be made on Streamate but you have to have patience and nerves of steel to get to it. It's still my highest earner and my bread and butter site but I put a lot of hours in to earn a comfortable living. It certainly isn't like it was just 5yrs ago when money was guaranteed with part time hours as long as you showed up. Camming in general has definitely become a full time hours gig over the last few years.

This. It's my bread-and-butter as well, I've always been able to make a living on SM. Granted sometimes my paychecks aren't as big as I want during slow times. This year was tough for me, but putting in longer hours is definitely showing to line my pockets a bit more lately as well as others it seems from what I read on forums like the "just stay the fuck on" thread. Staying positive and Staying TFO is key.

Or a lot of meds or wine!

How many hours do you hoe a week, Teddy? I'm asking because a lot of hours are objective. For me 10 hour a week seem like a lot!

I stopped offering video deals during gold shows entirely a few months back. I got so tired of customers trying to haggle and make deals for free videos. "how much will 5G get me?" ect...plus like you mentioned, having to go through the entire spiel constantly was mentally exhausting. I stopped offering them and I must say I haven't noticed it affect my earnings at all. I still have the same amount of successful gold shows and now I don't have to give them any extra freebies

Marina! Missed you girl ;D

I'm attempting 50hrs a week and 200hrs a month for January and hopefully the year but my normal is about 25-30hrs a week, which we all know in cam time feels like 3yrs haha.

Glad you're back and posting :)

25-30 hours a week is really pushing it but still doable as long as I stay highly medicated.
More than that would be self-destructive and endless emotional meltdowns and ragey tantrums.

Does anyone know what the rules are for sending photos/videos via the attachments in private messages? I accidentally missed a customer off the list when I sent videos out after a show and he emailed me to see if I could send, but it's been over 2 weeks so I can't send one the usual way.
Can I send any videos that aren't on my profile so long as they fit in with the rules?

I messaged Liz about this and never got an answer on this particular question, so very interested if anyone has a clear answer from anyone.

It won't be easy but I'm committed to trying to see if it affects my income potential with hopefully not too many meltdowns or tantrums. Can't promise that part though.

Well , gold shows did a great deal over the years and there are still guys who enjoying gold shows specifically . It’s quality above quantity though now -some tip lots within, they enjoy spoiling girls so everyone else can see and get attention vids after . But you are right it did go down the hill but everything else did too: tip vib, video sales, gold shows , even my squirting toys . I used to just go online and bank and now I have to convince them to buy in. When it’s new it’s cool then everyone else copy and it’s not new anymore . Good job our personality always stays with us ;) we can’t blame streamate for trying different features though . They have huge competition themselves like chatur mfc and ect . If they were stuck where they were 15 years ago there would be no customers left lol . I personally think customers are very spoiled now with a lot of content all over net and Freemium websites and lots of competition, that’s why it’s happening and it’s so difficult to surprise them . Not SM or models fault

It’s good darling that it works for you x
I do 30$ , 50$ and 100$ packages and it works on a good days. Also there are customers sometimes who only tip in gold shows (good amount) if I see them around I start gold shows and it works

I want to cry. It's midnight (Sunday to Monday) here in UK and I just had my updated docs rejected after a 3+ day wait. I thought I had got past the selfie thing that I was having problems with before, but now I have been rejected because of:

Do not use camera flash. (I DIDNT)
Avoid direct light on your ID. (I AVOIDED)
Use indirect or natural light to prevent glare. (IT WAS DAYLIGHT)
If your ID has a hologram overlay, angle your camera so the hologram does not cover the info underneath it. (I CANNOT SEE TO CHECK THIS COS THE SITE WANTS ME TO NOT BE WEARING GLASSES! I CANNOT SEE THIS DETAIL WITHOUT MY GLASSES!)
Confirm ALL text is in focus and legible. (AS ABOVE - CANNOT SEE WITHOUT MY GLASSES BUT THE SITE WANTS THE PICS OF ME/SELFIE/ME HOLDING ID WITHOUT GLASSES)
To be approved, the photo must be a live capture of your ID card. (IT WAS)
We do not accept photos of screens or any images of a previously taken photograph (IT WASNT)


If anyone has any ideas how to progress, I would be most grateful. Right now I am going to go and sulk in bed with my stupid long-sighted eyes.

No SM fault

I agree they did what made them money, they still do this with the contests, from their point of view they do what it takes to make money, even directing traffic to the popular rooms and to the models who have the potential to bank and rewarding them with prizes is a sale tactic.
I am just sad that for me and others (people i know, friends) is not lucrative anymore as i personally did not succeed with gold shows when i tried them, i never offered vids or pics for sale with my shows, never used social media to promote myself, i kept a low profile cause i did not wanted to be seen off the platform or have my content spread all over the internet.
Camming old style like prior gold shows had me loose placement and rank, now i am at the bottom with no traffic in my room or just in and outs and totally dead during contests, always.
I can say i was not able to keep up with the site changes but i dont regret it, i had my reasons to cam this way, i dont want exposure.
Maybe they will come up with something new?! I wish! I dont want SM to die!
Just ordered me the 3rd toy, this time i ordered the Lush 2, i had two Esca who broke after a few months only and i decided not to buy another one and cammed like this for a few good months but people dont tip anymore if i have no toy, i'll see if business improves for me after i connect the toy when i get it. Hope Lush will last longer, Esca is garbage really!

Confirm ALL text is in focus and legible. (AS ABOVE - CANNOT SEE WITHOUT MY GLASSES BUT THE SITE WANTS THE PICS OF ME/SELFIE/ME HOLDING ID WITHOUT GLASSES)
To be approved, the photo must be a live capture of your ID card. (IT WAS)
We do not accept photos of screens or any images of a previously taken photograph (IT WASNT)


If anyone has any ideas how to progress, I would be most grateful. Right now I am going to go and sulk in bed with my stupid long-sighted eyes.

I am sorry, hug u!
Maybe buy a pair of contact lenses and use them so u can see properly?

I agree they did what made them money, they still do this with the contests, from their point of view they do what it takes to make money, even directing traffic to the popular rooms and to the models who have the potential to bank and rewarding them with prizes is a sale tactic.
I am just sad that for me and others (people i know, friends) is not lucrative anymore as i personally did not succeed with gold shows when i tried them, i never offered vids or pics for sale with my shows, never used social media to promote myself, i kept a low profile cause i did not wanted to be seen off the platform or have my content spread all over the internet.
Camming old style like prior gold shows had me loose placement and rank, now i am at the bottom with no traffic in my room or just in and outs and totally dead during contests, always.
I can say i was not able to keep up with the site changes but i dont regret it, i had my reasons to cam this way, i dont want exposure.
Maybe they will come up with something new?! I wish! I dont want SM to die!
Just ordered me the 3rd toy, this time i ordered the Lush 2, i had two Esca who broke after a few months only and i decided not to buy another one and cammed like this for a few good months but people dont tip anymore if i have no toy, i'll see if business improves for me after i connect the toy when i get it. Hope Lush will last longer, Esca is garbage really!

I don’t believe They direct traffic to popular models , I have customer account and it’s all mixed up I have never seen this girls on top or anything so everyone has a chance .however Popular models hassle a lot and brings business to them including new signs in which is important for everyone. They are not popular for nothing . Yes I agree with you old cam style does not work anymore . 12 years ago I used to lay in bed typed didn’t talk , did nothing special just looked pretty and made about 400-500 a day if i do this now I think I would not even earn hundred bucks lol SM adapt to now reality so should we if we want money xx
Overall this year(2021) is worse than last year $$ (for me personally) even during holidays
Don’t forget the Covid which ruined lots of businesses and left people with no jobs

^^^ Exactly like I predicted in 2011 when they started with the gold shows, I said back then in this forum in 2012 that on the long term they will not be lucrative anymore. They made the members quality on site severely low like on freemium sites.
That's why we get people in and out all the time, they look for free stuff, same like with the gold shows, they freeload w.o paying.
I also believe in bots, the ins and outs w.o anyone talking for hours could be very much bots so we believe there is traffic on site.
Call me nuts, I don't care, my prediction turned up true and I dont want to predict that SM will close one day same like Ifriends did but... can't be positive this site will last for too long, for some good years on ifriends only their top models were making money and at a point, bam! the site closed for good. Sm is following the same pattern unfortunately.

I dont see what you predicted as true or accurate. Gold shows didnt bring the site down nor did it bring in freeloaders. Freeloaders were on sm at the very start of Sm. Every site have them and always will. During contest models like Lucky and many others run loads of GS trying to place in top 5 of contest so of course they may see more freeloaders during there working hours. Every day and every contest will not be the same. Sometimes yes you will have to work harder to get them to tip or buy videos while running GS. Im a cammer like you Kat..i dont do GS nor do i do social media or push videos. But i can say for me and a few others i know that my earnings on SM has increase especically the last 3 years. 2018 to now have been 6 figures with me working Sm 8 to 9 months out of the year because of prolonged health issues. I started SM in 2011 and 2021 was my highest earnings ever. I worked 9 mths in 2021 due to vacation, covid, and health issues that had me taking a few months off. My average on sm in 2019 was $87 then 2020 it went to $100 plus with no GS. Sm isnt dead nor is camming! What did die is the way i was camming! I was very militant in my camming style. Now im more relaxed. Im more senusal.I log in happy and i smile almost the entire time but you still cant sit in my room and not tip or go pvt/exclusive. I work my room by asking them using there name if they are ready to play with me or to make me wet by tipping my vibe toy. I also tease a little more once someone do tip my vibe toy which lead to other guys tipping or someone going pvt/ exclusive.
Yes there is slow days on SM! Yes some days there is loads of freeloaders! Yes sometimes your earnings will be lower! Yes some days take more effort..more teasing..more talking to get them to do pvt/ exclusive! But is SM or cam slower with more freeloaders compare to 2011 for "ME" No!
Do i make more of an effort now vs 2011 Yes! And its paying off 2-3folds!

Does anyone know what the rules are for sending photos/videos via the attachments in private messages? I accidentally missed a customer off the list when I sent videos out after a show and he emailed me to see if I could send, but it's been over 2 weeks so I can't send one the usual way.
Can I send any videos that aren't on my profile so long as they fit in with the rules?


Videos have to be uploaded to your profile (you can have them either free, for sale, or hidden) and preapproved, and it takes a few days for approval. Once approved you can send instantly.

I don't see any way to send them other than that. when I tried just now to attach a video it says this "OOPS
We only support image attachments right now."

I don't think they are ever going to allow videos to be sent without approval to be sure they meet Mastercard and other payment processor's terms of service.

Oh god I really hope you are wrong! I honestly can’t find a site like SM, it’s the only one I feel comfortable on. I don’t think I’m alone in saying that .

Thanks for that post
You are awesome as always
I am not relaxed at all because of contests are putting pressure , I am making the same mistake again and again by only streaming during contests and not streaming much in between.
Actually what I said isn’t correct not the whole year was bad , only half of it . I remember on March April May I was at my highest $/hour ever . Ti be honest last year was the same : first half of the year was amazing then another half was huge drop .
Ok nothing is going down hill it’s just seasonal slow down or just my personal case which is fine I can work with it . I am still doing good just had slow times in October November start of December
And yes you are right GS doesn’t bring cheap guys otherwise Marissa Emma (and me sometimes) wouldn’t bank from it . But it’s definitely became harder (for me ) to take their money out during It thats why I don’t do as many as many just few times a day

All the sites nowadays reducing amount of models online I presume because servers can’t cope and probably it’s too expensive to upgrade them
I dunno . Adultwork banned half of the models , livejasmin is very particular
about room design ,prof photos and camera quality and have very strict rules , Flirt4free doesn’t let you to stream in popular times unless you earring good $/hour and only SM and chatur are welcoming everyone , even those who sleeps online or just lays their with terrible internet and therefore they are most glitchy once. U noticed a difference in amount of glitches when it’s 1600 models and 4000 models and yes it’s partly competition but partly it servers which are stretched and can’t cope that’s why guys get disconnected (in and out)
(My personal opinion)

Haha, this is wrong (at least for jasmin, idk about other sites lol). They used to be, they changed the ownership last year and they aren't so picky anymore. Actually we have written in the livejasmin thread about this. They even let you promote your social media, they let you charge the members extra $3/min to open they cam, another $3/min to turn on their sound, another $3/message to send you a message, you get vibe toy option where they pay for each second ($30 for 30 seconds, $5 for 5 seconds, etc). And you have vip show option, which is exactly like gold shows on SM. You can add stories and members can pay up to 20 credits a week to subscribe to them, you can do videocalls for when you're not on cam, trough their app. Also live stream trough their app, etc.
I got back on jasmin 3 months ago and i am already doing great, the support isn't a pest anymore and the site is overall awesome.

And the increasing share... it sucks it resets back to 30% every 14 days, but still.. you only need to make $250 your cut to get to 35%. Then another $250 your cut, to get to 40%. And from there, money are creeping up pretty easily and you can reach high % . And extra 20% from member refferal, you straight get 20% when he buys credits, not when he spends it (with you or another model, regardless). Which is awesome.

Of course, just like any other good site, hours matter and a fixed schedule. From my own experience, after almost 4 months of doing a stable schedule and putting the hours in, things are better now.

I have been having that issue for a while now. Someone posted on here previously (I think it was Carmen) a way to get to show up.

After you the upload status, disappears- refresh the browser and upload the video - it might take a few trys.
