Are we allowed to ask guys to resign up under our cammodels link? I see a girl doing this on twitter.

thats the point of the cammodels link. you use it to promote urself and get ur own clients to use on SM and in return they give you 75% percent of what clients spends on you forever and 20% if they spend money on other girls. now if shes trying to get guys already on SM to close their account and sign up again thats a BANible offense as far as I know

i raised my rates recently and ive been going back and forth on the decision to keep C2C in Exclusive only or let anyone who wants to Premium or Exclusive go C2C with me. I only do it in Exclusive right now but the the last busy day I had like 3 guys tired one guy tired tree times even after i told him each time C2C is in exclusive only i got paid for 2 min in pvt and all i had to do was sit and click a botton over and over lol. My reasoning for wanting to do it in Exclusive only is because when i get better placement I'll be getting multiple guys and in Pvt. When my rates were very low I even had guys come into a pvt as a peeper and request C2C like WTF. So is it worth it to keep the client and go C2C in Premium or is better to have it Exclusive only.

You mean resign up as in guys cancelling their current SM membership and then immediately signing up again,under a model's cammodels link, correct?

Grumpy Titties say NO.
SM makes it EXTREMELY clear that they will pretty much stomp your ass into the ground if they ever catch you doing this.
From the SM Tips/Tutorial page-
What Not To Do
Do not promote CamModels to Existing Members! There is no reason to use any site name while live on cam! Doing so will result in your account being closed and payments withheld.
It is very important that you understand that Cammodels.com and Streamate.com are the same site, only different programs. Therefore, you cannot send members from Streamate or affiliated sites to CamModels. If you attempt to do so, we will permanently deactivate your account on both sites and withhold payments.
Bottom line, if the member is already in our system you cannot have them join CamModels. If you do, you will lose your account. You also may not promote CamModels while live on the site. This is for external promotion only.
As a performer you may have a customer base built up; you can use the CamModels program to promote yourself to your past clients if you wish, but make sure they are not already a member of the site!

whut?? NO! "resign" ?? I know a guy that does this on a constant basis. I can only assume he's experienced a roi and has been lucky to have not been banned from the site. The point of your cammodels link is to generate new business for the site.
I - for one - have a whole domain which I forward to my cammodels link and I've never ONCE seen any income. Not a penny. Unless u bitch to support about that like your stats I can only assume you never see anything unless they know you're looking type thing. I dunno, just my theory.

Snowy,
I let them turn their cam on in PVT if they want. I operate that room on a 1st in 1st served basis, so very seldom will I have 2+ guys staying for the whole show anyhow. I do tell them if they want phone, RP, or kink or if they just don't want THEIR show open to peepers, to pick Exclusive for no interruptions.

I only offer C2C in Exclusive as well. I hate the guys that will go private and try to turn their cam on real quick and then jet! And a lot of guys JUST want to be watched and it's awkward with other guys coming in and out of private while I'm talking about some other guy's dick lol. So yeah, exclusive only for me...and I NEVER accept their cam until the 30 seconds is up.

You won't get banned if they messaged you through SM with their personal email enclosed. I get that all the time. I just ignored it!

Me too, infact I get email addys, face book, twitter and telephone numbers. I even get them in free chat. Of course I ignore most but I will and do post phone numbers on twitter claiming the person is gay and looking for fun that night! I know I have a wicked sense of humour ;)

Technically, you can get suspended for keeping their contacts in your inbox or not reporting a contact spammer if the admin is in a shitty mood. Happily, it doesn't happen often, but you'd better delete those mails right upon answering and uncheck the "save to sent" box.

So... I just got enabled for GOLD shows today, and I tried a few countdowns, but I only met one goal, and it was a REALLY low one, to rub lotion on my boobs. Is there some secret to GOLD shows that I'm just not getting?

No secret, it's just whatever you like and whatever works for you. Everyone's different.
Marina Starr
05-31-2013, 01:23 PM
You don't always have to meet your goal. If it's close enough, you can always just start the show and guys will pledge! I do it all the time to avoid free chat!

how long does it take to get your first check?

There's a 3 weeks hold on your first check unless you contact SM support and ask them to put you on weekly paid. For future SM related questions, please post in the SM thread.

As already said, play around with it, try lot's of different things, watch what other ladies are doing in their shows. It seems to have been hard for a lot of ladies, myself inc, to hit goal lately so DW it's not you, and as Marina said, you can get close then do the show anyway, quite often more guys will come in once you start.

I have done 10 mins gold shows plenty of times without any buy in during the count down but once I'm in the show, it's funny how they will pledge, lol! I'm not gonna just sit in free chat forever. I'll take $30+ bucks an hour over nothing any day!

ur total gold contributions for the show are 0 and u accept to go in then the guys go in and tip? see ive never done a gold show because they wont give it to me so i always thought once it started guys cant go in unless they tipped during the countdown but i guess what happens is once it starts they pay to get it if they come in ur room after uve started

This is what I thought, too. It's DEFINITELY helpful to know that it is not the case!!
Marina Starr
05-31-2013, 04:38 PM
Let's say the minimum buy in is $5, if they want to see me while I'm in a show then they have to pay 5 gold. Guys can join in anytime while the show is still running. They don' have to tip. I believe you cannot ask for tip in gold shows. It's stated in the gold show rules. That's why I only do nude shows. I hope that makes sense.

Took me a little while to work that one out, not going into details here but I spend less time in free chat and my paid chat % is sitting pretty even if I only get one or two pledges ;)
On the subject of asking for tips in gold shows, no you can't, however there is nothing in the rules about asking for higher pledges ;)
Snowy0Star
05-31-2013, 05:32 PM
so what happens if a guy wants more then whats in ur gold show topic? since u cant tell him yes for X gold do u have to say no if u dont want to do it?
Missymissdemeanour
05-31-2013, 05:37 PM
You can say thing like 'highest pledger gets their name moaned through out the show' or 'highest pledge directs the show' etc You can see girls saying 'pledge $25 and get all my vids' so there is nothing stopping you from asking a guy to pledge higher for something special, even if you are already in the show, of course if it's something that you won't/don't do then obviously don't do it and tell them no. See it's all in the wording ;)

i guess its all about the wording so after they've pledged once ur in the show and if they start asking more all u have to do to avoid getting in trouble with SM is say pledge X more if you want y done?

Yes, if a guy is asking you to do something extra then it's only fair he should pledge extra.
temptingmodel

I will be in a gold show knowing I am watched. it is all about the wording
here are a few I use
1. Buy out my gold show (if there is a good amount left)
2. I dont think you paid enough for all that, you can always send more when wanting more
3. I do privates and exclusives, dont be one of the cheap guys.. come on bb, you know better
4. Im only worth X amount of money and want a request? Yeah thats not happening. You take care of me and I will do the same.
There are a few ways to word it without actually asking
if they ask how much to send just say , they are asking you. That is a different ballpark. They are asking you how much money you want. I start with 50 and do not budge ;)

I'm sure someone has already answered this but do we only get paid from gold shows if the customer stays for the entire show? I just did a 10minute show and was only paid by 3 people.

God..seems they changed again the recommended settings..to a very weird image size of 864 x 480..which makes my image too zoomed to be able to adapt (i use webcampro 9000)
and so, my camming place became too small all of a sudden....did anybody have this problem these days?
Marina Starr
06-01-2013, 05:06 AM
I don't but my count down is only 4 mins!
I asked my room once about waiting until a show starts to pledge. The general consensus was that they get sick of waiting an hour for a show because the model keeps restarting. A lot of guys only have a small window of time when they have alone time, have to go to work, etc. I guess they don't want to get their hopes up for something that's not going to happen. I rarely do gs. Have any of you tried assuring the crowd that a show will start whether you make the goal or not? Do you get more pledgers that way?
Marina Starr
06-01-2013, 05:08 AM
They don't have to but you have to stay til the timer runs out to get paid

Thanks for this. I had no idea they changed it. Is it really that hard to send out a mass email or update the NEWS AND UPDATES section. Smh.
Edit: I updated my settings. Within the first couple of minutes I had a 2 second lag just from the encoder and a 10-15 second lag from my browser. I changed my settings back to 640x480.
