I would improve my JOI skills lol. i am not sure what guysss want or expect.. got good feedback however sometimes they leave in the middle of show without cumming! maybe happens to everyone but ohhh some like countdown some not, suck dildo while they wanking...or play w my pussy??watch them only and cheering ahah anyway it is a seriuos need of advice! ... do you find your technique always being a win? or you ask before hand details!?
i want to improve myself on this! ... it is not going always to work nah?? :) ty y all
i feel the same way -- guys like all sorts of different styles of JOI and we can't read their minds. often when i ask them for their preferences beforehand they just leave. i am honest with guys about me not being an expert about various sex acts but am willing to try, so i feel less pressure if they decide to do the show. some guys insist because they really like my voice or the way i look or whatever. either way i usually do more "jerk off encouragement" rather than specific step by step instructions, as that feels too direct and dominant for me. i tease/strip slowly and speak softly about them stroking and motion it with my hands (or on a toy but only if they say so, because most don't seem to want that), and look into the camera a lot.
for me it's a matter of finding the right guy to do it with. if a guy is like "hey can you tell me *exactly* how to stroke?" i'm like "no thanks" because it's just not how i like to do it. feels super awkward for me watching them on c2c if they literally won't move their hand unless i tell them what to do, and they just want me to sit and talk at the camera instead of teasing/moving around. makes me feel like i have a big spotlight on me and i hate it, lol.

i had a new whale last night who was incredibly attractive and also very smart and personable, we chatted for like 20 minutes in excl c2c about sex work stigmatization before he wanted to start playing. he had already upped his limit one time during the session and was tipping extra throughout the exclusive for no reason. right as we started doing sexy things his stream cut out due to hitting his limit again and support wouldn't let him raise it anymore. :(
so frustrating that he couldn't go any higher at that moment, especially on a contest night.
in the past i would have tried to be sly about hinting him towards my social media so we could maybe continue on skype with an indie payment processor, but with how strict everything has been monitored on SM these days i didn't risk it. :'(
what i don't get it is how token sites like MFC allow guys to spend literally tens of thousands of dollars in one tip and SM can't even raise a guys daily limit past $300 without jumping through massive hoops. i get that it's fraud related but i feel like the threshold should be higher, like at least $500-1k a day. on IWantClips (what I use for skype payments) the limit for a single tribute or transaction is $10,000, and that includes for guest check-outs without accounts.
For my whale who even didn't spend his limit which about 1000 gold's support said something as he is not allowed to spend all on 1 model. It happened on 50% bonus week, so upsetting.

wow that sucks. From a business standpoint i have no idea why SM would restrict a customer's spending like that. If he wants to spend it all on one model its still the same amount in their pockets at the end of the day. Weird.

I tried being entertaining and it didn't work for me, lol. I guess you could also say that by saying hi to guys first, they feel being put on the spot and leave, lol.
Same. I do better when I'm boring. If I use a lot of energy in free, it burns me out and I can't stay on as long. Of course I am old so I have an excuse. lol

I'm sorry if this has been asked before. What do you guys do when a customer sends his phone number in messenger? I have been immediately blocking and reporting. I'm not going to explain that it's against rules. They already know and plus I'm not risking my account because they broke a rule.
I wish there were more options to report. We need one that says "Broke rules". I'm using "Member is abusive" because it's the closest I guess.

That is what I use. I click member is abusive and report and I also tell them they need to make us a report button for rule breaking as its only fair for us to report them and be held to the same standards we are.

yes block and report. 1 time i contacted liz about a client that did that in a exlcusive show. she will refer the issue to client services and they will deal with the client directly.
its good to do that , because the client i had even told me that he always gives his number out to girls with no issue and i am the only one to complain so... lol i am sure he is lying but the more often clients see us reporting and rejecting the info, the less maybe they will try?

i hit the motherfucking prick motherload ...pardon my french but i am PISSSSSEDDDDD. i found some prick who has over 394 different exclusives with each model on SM and some of mine.
he is trading around all of our content with other pricks in exchange for more vids and then spreading them on every corner of the net. he is selling them and trading them.
not just uploading.
NO ONE sells or trades my content but ME. EVER.
i know some people like their content to be shared. but for those of us who dont like to give away our exclusive and private shows
we need to stop this POS. also he slightly alters our user names so we cant google ourselves and find it. not to mention for marketing no one would find you because he alters your user name.
contact me for the link. youll most likely find yourself there.
together we can contact liz for a DMC take down or ask for his account to be removed.
i recognize so many models from sm..
anyone want to take this prick down?
PM ME me since i cant post it publicly here.
bumping my post . pls pm me for the link ladies there are over 360 private and exclusive shows being traded and sold like baseball cards.
lets stop this prick. once a few of us have found our vids on there. we will all contact liz for a takedown if possible.
he adds videos weekly.

We can hope that happens. Once they start with the "meet up" stuff, they never let up, even if you tell them to stop 1000 times.

"How about you vibe my ass on lovense remote? You have lovense remote? Ill give you device name"
Is this allowed or was I right to say no? I'm not sure if this would give me an ability to chat off site.

You were right to say no.
I once wanted to give my lovense code as a bonus for certain customers but checked with support first and they said absolutely no.

I haven't had to with with them giving personal information with the new rules yet. Only 'I would do anything to meet you in person' or 'I could so much with you if you were here.'
I told them we can only play right here on Streamate.com

what i don't get it is how token sites like MFC allow guys to spend literally tens of thousands of dollars in one tip and SM can't even raise a guys daily limit past $300 without jumping through massive hoops. i get that it's fraud related but i feel like the threshold should be higher, like at least $500-1k a day. on IWantClips (what I use for skype payments) the limit for a single tribute or transaction is $10,000, and that includes for guest check-outs without accounts.
I've had this guy for a few months - just a heads up, don't count on him to continue with it - he comes in hot, spends a LOT of money, earns your attention and then slows/stops spending but takes up all of your time in free chat without tipping or doing shows. He also toes the line with what he types in regards to stigmatization of sex workers (mentioning other sites, etc..) - so if there are bots crawling words... it's risky. I'm holding my banhammer right now for the next time he shows up LOL. He's very sweet, but that has been my experience with him. Don't risk your account over him. Not worth it.

I have tried it myself in the past and raising the limit (on my customer account) is easy and support was helpfull and did it in a couple of minutes (own experience) ... (i wanted to know the process and how support dealt with this, therefor made a customer account to check this out)
It is possible for them to raise limit above 300.
I had once a 1k tip in freechat from a whealthy reg.
When they really want to they can up their limit high... i dont know how high exactly, but 100% sure 300 is not the ceiling
Also they dont have to jump through massive hoops. If custie is trying to make you believe this than he might be lying? My own experience is that you go to livesupport, you ask them to raise it, and they raise it instantly. Done. No proof or extra info needed. Just the question for limit raising

I agree so much about this. I think it sucks big time that members have such a low spending limit on Streamate. Some of these men are older & wealthy and ready to spend.
I have a regular on SM who spends his limit of $300-$400 everytime he is with me. One of these days he found me on MFC - he spent $1500. Streamate is really missing a lot of money with these low spending limits.

Its to bad they have the step in between were they need to raise it.... but they can raise it high. The limit is not 400. It is only when he keeps it like that
Maybe he likes the security of not being able to spend more daily on sm (?)...

I dont think we're talking about the same person. The guy i saw was talking to me specifically about stigmatization of in person sex work (he shared with me that he sees escorts) and seemed very new to cam sites based on his questions and behavior. Plus he wasnt typing much since we were doing c2c with audio. He never mentioned other sites and also tipped a bunch in free chat prior to going exclusive.
In general though i never count on or expect any individual customer to stick around. It's great when they do but never smart to rely on them. I had a whale for a year and a half who was a nice percentage of my income then all of a sudden he lost his cushy job and had to move back in with his parents. You just never know.

I am aware the limit can go quite high. I have had a couple regs in the past go over 1k but it sounded like they had to send in some extra personal/financial info to SM to get to that point.
Not sure why the customer would lie about his experience with support when he was clearly desperate to keep spending. He went to live support and got it raised once but then they wouldnt do it again in the same night. I imagine it may be because this guy seemed new to the site. I could see support being more lenient/needing less proof with established/long term customers.

I wonder what they are asking him for.
I’ve done the same thing as Ivy to see how they raise limits so im I”d know what to tell them to do.
Some guys want to keep a good name w models and blame support.

I'm not saying the guy from the other night was asked to provide anything, he just said support said he wasn't allowed to go any higher. Other regs in the past have told me they had to send in certain docs. Maybe an ID or bank statement? Not sure.

They don’t require more info
Usually what they require is to chat with them because that is a virtual signature and that they are aware of raising the limit and the credit card has not been stolen. The support doesn’t tell them it’s to protect their credit card from fraud, that’s all it is (lol his credit card probably had a max)
Whitelabels catch the chargebacks and usually chargebacks are high Spenders that are one nighters. Support is just protecting everyone’s money.
I feel like fraud is higher during contest times. I didn’t get many chargebacks until we started doing contest and maybe SM started picking that up.

I think you are right and it has to do with that he is new probably
Or what Erika said: that his own card has a max

Hi, ladies!
Have any of you been struggling with earnings lately? I went from an average of 40$/50$ per hour to 3$-5$ per hour. This is the fifth day like this. Camming had ups and downs this past year for me, but in 10 years of camming I never had such earnings. I dont know what to do anymore, I try to put more hours in but with such a slow traffic is hard to stay on for more than 5 hours. I've been emaliling support but they say my account is fine.
I am only streaming on Stremate for the past 5 years, but I am really considering open a second site, but with such long time only with Streamate I dont know what site could I chose, I used to split with Jasmin before.
What do you girls think? Have any of you had this problem lately?

I find it useful to search past payment history for the month and week I'm struggling with to compare earnings. Often times I'll find that the same month down to the same week it was a struggle in the past so I'm not so hard on myself.
I've hit slumps before and yes...they are a shock. I find sitting and biting the bullet during very slow times does pay off by the end of the month...but you gotta be willing to stream up to 40 hr weeks with some really shit days knowing most of those days will be big winners since you're available for opportunities. Easier said than done however.
