If you have anyone who regularly spends and you get cammodel earnings...indefinitely. I had a guy who spent at least once a week and it kept my account open for like 7 years. I'd hop on sporadically like once every 3-6 months and kept the account open. I once went a couple years without logging in and it was still active.
oh this is interesting, thanks! i actually have had a couple guys spending on other models while i've been away so i've still been getting deposits from SM when the referral spending hits the minimum $100 paycheck amount. good to know this counts as keeping the account active :D

I'm also the one afraid to raise my rates too high.....I had similar prices forever and just recently raised them and only one guy complained and no one else batted an eye. I'll keep them like this for awhile and see how it goes. Its going well so far, yay for us, we deserve to give ourselves a well needed raise!
I just raised my rates in January and then again today. Gas and Lunchables are getting more and more expensive and I'm not showing titties for cheap anymore lol

^^^ Yeah, I am not worried about placing in this contest. Great for the top mega earners, but just ruining Monday for the rest of us haha. Though, my traffic has been pretty good

I thought the exact same thing. It's disgraceful. I can do a 5 min 1:1 show with direct pay to earn that. Let alone place in the top 1-3% of SM which takes a lot more time, energy, and effort than 5 mins.

I honestly believe that it's not really a contest if the same people are being placed. It's more like a guaranteed bonus for them. Especially the ones that only long on when contest are running.

I know there are older threads about this but recently due to medical issues I am completely unable to do any shows with penetration. I have already changed my show description to light finger play wand ect. Does this work what is your experience with not doing penetration? I'm starting back on Thursday.

I usually place top 100ish when I try, 50 when I really give a shit. If you are top 20 a lot, or even if you are on the front page of the contest page usually, guys will go for that consistency. They all wanted to fuck the popular girl at school.
Those who always place high have figured out a way to promote themselves well, obviously by streamate's standards. This is usually how these sales/marketing things workout, there will always be consistent way high earners. It's what keeps the suits interested.

Yeah, of course. It works a lot better if you're dominant, though. I'm naturally a little (ddlg) but chose to learn domming skills to save my bits from being injured. A lot of subs will leave the show if you *do* show your naked body.

I don’t use toys. I have a vibrating wand I’ll put on my clit or pretend to use my fingers. Back in the day I could fake penetration to but my legs can no longer hold me in the position needed. If anyone causes a fuss (which is rare) I just tell them women are clitorial and I really want to have an orgasm with you baby! That’s how I cum! They seem to like that.

Back in the day I used to use all the toys. Nowadays I will only use my tip vibe or wand in private, or a dildo but only for a bj. In exclusive more toys are available. But, they aren't lying around in view - I very rarely get asked for them and in my vanilla shows I just use fingers. And I don't do any anal either yet many a guy will pay good money to just look at my butthole haha

I know of 2 models in particular on page 1 who have changed their name at least twice in a year. Appears easy to do, at least for them.

Thank you :) Yeah I have several medical reasons going on and I cam because of being sick so ugh but, yes starting Thursday I will cam in this new way. I figure its better than nothing. I will get the harder faster guy and then be out of work for a week at this point any $$ is better than no $.

I hardly ever do penetration either, very rarely. I'm sure I lose shows but you know, we are all different and if we don't offer something then we just get the customers who DO enjoy what we do.

I just changed my name a few months ago. I'm glad I did. It hasn't affected money, but it's made me more confident. The new name fits me MUCH better! It was easy to do, I just emailed Liz and she changed it within a few days.

I am a successful no mutual masturbation and no penetration model. It's been at least 4 years since I offered those shows. I never say NEVER but it's not a show I offer publically (or even with long time favorites honestly.) My best advice if you don't offer mutual masturbation or penetration shows, you do have to be prepared for customer objections. What do you offer? Why should I pay to hang out with you vs other models that DO offer those shows? How will you provide me value as a customer? Why are you worth $XX.XX or $X.XX/min? It's all sales tactics and business strategy.

Thank you. I will still do mutual just not with penetration. Yes I agree I redid not show description to state my specialties. I will just have to see how it goes but, I can no longer offer penetration. Great to know you are still banking without it :)

Can someone tell me what's wrong with my webcam mic please? It's fine when I cam with a friend (ie FaceTime) but when I view myself on SM it genuinely sounds like a plane is taking off. Really BAAAD screeching feedback, on a loop. It's fine if I mute it. Is it just me hearing this? Or are my customers hearing it also? How do I fix it? /cries
EDIT: Had confirmation that my sound is FINE on custies end, so it's me with the feedbacking sound issue. Also the "traffic outside" can be heard, which I guess is the (rather quiet) fans on my custom PC.
Will my standalone mic (Yeti) solve this?

so check with another device. sometimes happened to me when i checked on same browser,can happens if you use mic of your cam or pc one vs pc setting. i hope that it is clear. anyway was just in my side not clients side.

Pretty good, honestly! I have been getting online earlier in the morning (EST) and its been more lucrative for me. My placement has improved again and I've have had steadier traffic and somewhat consistent shows/tips. quite a few new customers too. it seems to slow down a lot in the afternoon.

I feel you! I am not a morning person at ALL. I'm total a night owl. I don't like camming at night though, I have always preferred day shifts, plus my bf works days as well so I get the house to myself to cam and we get to enjoy our evenings together.
I'm just trying to get to bed earlier and not stay up so late like I usually do. but seriously, just getting on a few hours earlier than my norm is making a difference in my $$$ earnings.

I was in the same boat, as you, in September. I had a procedure called Lletz or Loop, both ways are fine and for 4 weeks i was unable to use any toys, sexual contact, tampons, etc etc. My favourite toy its Domi, im using it with no stress but of course i had to find an idea for those that wanted toy fun so ive found a small coffee table, ive placed a good toy with suction cup on it and i tell them...'fancy a ride babe?' of course no one said no to a ride...So ive stuck my toy between ass cheecks and start riding, no penetration and it looks real. U should try it, i use this technique even now!

Only 1-2 weeks?! Is that what the surgeon said? I’ve had to have a breast re-aug and I’ve had to wait longer than that for sexual activity and even longer for actual physical exercise beyond going for a gentle walk. Bare min 4 weeks for sex and 6 weeks for exercise. I’m taking 2 months to be safe though.

If its only for 2 week i wouldn't mind that much and i'd go straight away to do it. As Gbjenna said about her surgery, i was the same. After my Mastopexy ive returned to work after 3 weeks, at gym after 6 weeks, working my legs only and sex...hmmm, after 5 or 6 weeks, cant remember well.
