What if you're an older B*tch like me tho? :(
I worry about the fact that I'm really shy and introverted. The top girls are really talkative, energetic and playful. I wish that was me. I'm like that when I dance, but that also requires some liquid courage. Drinking while camming always makes me sleepy, so I don't do it. I want to be a top cam model though.

I won't name names but one of the ladies who does VERY well in contests is late forties, I don't know if she's here but she is super hot!
Fuck..I'm 50 and started in my early 40's. I look very young...early 40's so I figure I have about a "10 year" age gap I can claim. I list my age as 41 and guys don't even believe I"m that old! I do take care of myself and stay out of the sun and NO DRUGS of any kind. I'll go as long as I'm making money. I do other things like freelance and other media work so I like camming. There is NO WAY IN HELL i'll ever go back to being trapped in an office (think the movie OFFICE SPACE). That is my literal nightmare come true!

Can confirm! As a gal in my 20s, I look up to the women in their 40s and 50s very much. They're killing it!
Thank you! As someone who just started camming in my mid 50's just last year, I can say, I am so grateful that guys of all ages LOVE older women ! Camming has been great for me, so far, and you ladies have taught me a lot from this forum, so thanks for sharing so much. I feel somewhat alone in this (no one knows I cam) and this is a nice place to feel a sense of belonging/understanding. So, hang in there with your camming career, Ladies, it will likely get better with age;) I wish I had considered doing this sooner.

What is the amount needed to be above 150 spot in completion ?
not sure tashie if you need to still know but its most likely over $1500 range.
top 60 needs $2000 or more.

i do not think all men like extra talkative, energetic kind or pushing sale girl! i mean there is for everyone IMO. you can move slowly and be low key and be considered as classy maybe nahhh.
i saw some top who just stay there to wait for guys go in show without speech. can be a strategy also.

Who knows what it is that makes a guy spend on us? I'm sure that we all have our own styles that they like and I know that when I've tried things I don't feel comfortable with, they haven't really worked. I think it's best to do what you want to do on cam and work hard. What works for one won't necessarily work for another. I've seen top models speak to guys in ways I wouldn't ever feel right doing. It works for them but not for me and that's fine.
It's also true we have no idea what else they do to gain business. I imagine many have huge social media followings to bring people in too.

I talk to shit IRL and you'd think it would make the average joe leave, hate me etc. it turns them on. i think its the chase and i think its the same on cam. Im not mean I just ask for money and privates. being vocal about gold, privates and exclusives reminding them to tip in free chart brings tips i would not get if i was quiet. not everyone tips but it makes the non tippers leave. I also have things in presets that i set off like a bomb and every one of them says to spend money, usually lands privates and tips and some ppl leave.
I have a decent following on social media and its super rare they get shows with me. I'll see my name on the model list once every few weeks in the spenders log in my whitelabel.

social media does work driving customers to websites but it doesn't mean they are coming to the site to spend money on me or even come in my room.
I drive them to site through that but 90% get shows/tips with other models.
basically dont expect to be big money maker in their room when they log on just bc they drive traffic. it doesn't make sense but it makes sense. does it? I start to confuse myself lol

It does make sense. Perfect example. A die-hard fan of mine from ManyVids followed me to SM and used my affiliate link. The first day he was only spending on me. Ever since that man is spending money left and right but definitely not on me. So glad he used my affiliate link though...

same! Ive had several guys sign up with my affiliate link and would eventually stop spending on me. I didn't take it personally, plus I was getting a nice chunk of affiliate money every week thanks to 1 guy in particular until he eventually left. haven't seen him spend in a year. Man I miss that free money! lol. I still have one guy who signed up through my link, still comes to my room to chat and tip, but he spends on others too. Cant be bothered to get upset they're not spending it all on me when I'm getting a cut of the $$$

But if you haven't spent anything on me since 2010, ( and very little at that), you need to go....far away...into banned forever territory.

ROFL instant block.
and diapers boy is back with various user names. it seems he has "a wet diaper" still after 2 years.
and kushman or kush is still trying for his rude comments and 30 seconds for free after all this time.
i dont know if its as some of you mentioned they are getting new accounts, or if they are becoming unblocked some how, but some OG losers are coming back in droves.

My placement moved back up to between 1150 and 1200. It seems like a few dollars will move me up several places. Seems like most girls aren't earning shit this week. I'm still a few hundred away from $1000. On a normal week, I would have $1000 by now. I really wish SM would stop doing these monthly contests. They know that it hurts most of the models, so why keep torturing us with this bullshit???

In 2021, July and August were huge money-making months. The summer slowdown can be reduced with multiple streams of income from multiple sites - passive and active :)

to liz.
private exclusive with a member but the name typing to me was a different name. That's how the week started. I didn't notice that issue again this week
All week
The members name are not in my guest list but they are showing up in the member chat entering and leaving
The members I do see in my guest list are doing a lot of in and out
My chat has no convo
Then I will have a good chat where everyone seems to be there, i think the issue was resolved and it does it all over again.
The traffic was super weird this week and it doesn't seem to be affecting every model but it is definitely a issue on my end
erikaxstacy
This was my week. all week.
I really hope most of you had a good a week. My traffic sucked.
Im very verbal w members saying hi etc but will send out presets bc it gets old and harder to say hi w smile with no interaction

Almost 6 minutes before anyone came in my room when I first logged on and that NEVER happens. Yes, somtimes its slow but you'll catch a busy wave or get a long show....this is a whole diffrent slow!

Thank is not true
Most of top models (top 100-200 or even further )wouldn’t bother stream so many hours if it wasn’t for contest , some just stream during contests only and they bring a lot of business in so if SM is doing it for so many years that means it worth it for them even though they give away a lot of prizes $$
Luckygoldfish
04-30-2022, 03:19 PM
I personally did 63 hours this week which I would never ever do in a million years if it wasn’t for contest
. Yes it was slow periodically but $/hour is still decent if you add up the prize
Plus they are probably doing updates that’s why it’s glitchy and guys are getting kicked out if it was no contest most would probably just log off

Looking at previous contests and I am wondering what their plan is for May. Haven’t done a 2x2 yet, usually have one by now. So is that next and then end of the month weeklong? Fun
Speaking of past contests looked at last year April vs one just finished, same bracket, but I worked a few more hours this year. It has totally gotten more competitive/cutthroat/dialed in. Good thing I am actively working on my patience.

omg for ONCE i was in the top 30 then the top 50 . i was finally on my way.. and then i got my period. game over. i was still able to get 200s worked total 16hrs.
i agree compared to other contests and weeks i felt there was less money to be made on the site overall.

04-30-2022, 06:52 PM
what i did last week was i made my own contest! i knew my period was coming and i knew that a real contest was coming. so i made my own!
i set my own earning goals and treated it like a contest week!
so you ladies can also challenge yourself to your own contest and it can be very rewarding as well!

Yea, the TOP models are benefiting. They make up a small percentage of all the models on the site. 300 models out of how many?
Most of the girls that I see in the top 300 spots are girls that I never see online any other time, so its pretty unfair to the girls that work almost every day for this site. During the contest weeks, most of the models make far less than they normally would on non contest weeks. The money benefits SM regardless, but it definitely doesn't benefit the majority of the models to keep doing these monthly contests. SM doesn't do they contests for us, they do it for themselves lol so yes, it is true that the contests hurt most of the models.
And yea, they should give away a lot of prize money, they take 65%+ from us! Lol

If you aren't aware the UK is going to have 2 extra bank holidays beginning of June - last Monday of May is bank holiday, then same week Thursday & Friday bank holiday to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee. Don't know if that will influence SM. I am in two minds about BHs regards life in general, can be good for some people and of course hospitality but can be a PITA for others!
