News has been talking a lot about new inflation numbers/war stuff. They make people fearful: they stop spending but in a week or so they are back to their old habits. Ive been seeing this for months now.
Add to that Mercury retrograde.
^^^ Making no money here so yes, it makes sense what u saying

OMFG. Now this all makes complete sense. Retrograde and the lunar eclipse. Explains. It. All. It's awful out there. I'm usually very even tempered and today I hate everyone. Everyone is annoying and I just can't even...but I will because...life...

SAME. Just did an hour, $65. No traffic. Going to do 1 more hour later tonight.

^^^ Agree, on SM I'll make $50 the 1st hour then it dies all night long with a few spurts of shows and tips. But I've been hitting goal only because I won't let myself go to bed without my $300+ and its only because of the late night early morning traffic. Took 9h log in time to hit goal last night. Even had clients tell me they'd wait while I showered and they fucked off and spent elsewhere. My goal spills over because it'll be dead at night but surge at 7AM and I pass out at 9AM most mornings after waiting 8h to make anything worthy. Oh well. As long as you make goal, right? Here's to hoping this weekend is a success for us all.

Can anyone explain the new "model link up" feature?
I read it a few times and not getting the purpose.
It seems like only the model who reaches out gets the money.

I think tht is the most confusing thing and makes zero sense.
i thought it meant to link up and our cams pop up like zoom , it only makes sense "model link up"
every model has their own account and share the link instead of uploading documents on one models acct. This will help prevent model accounts from being shut down when one person's documents expire.
live shows together in human form not zoom like I thought ;D thats what it sounded like lol

Traffic: I have had low traffic on my PSO line for a week! - Also my PMS was from hell.
Now I have another question. I used to do SM camming and made a ton, effortlessly. With a body at the end of my 20's. Now I'm 40:( So I feel ugly and I don't feel like being bouncy and crazy.
So do you think there is room for a woman like me to maybe come back, part time, wearing sexy outfits that kind of cover my mid section (I weigh 120 lbs) and use interactive toys as my schtick and my domme (I was a non nude domme back in the day).
Any suggestions?? I want more than my PSO money.

i think you'll be fine as long as you have confidence. i'm 41, just a few months from 42. i'm a non-nude domme and don't do any bouncing around. i sit in a chair, not showing my face in free chat. i rarely get up from my chair (basically just for strapon shows) in paid chat bc that's when i do show my face (moisturizer and mascara only). i use an interactive toy to encourage wallet rinsing
ETA: i stream usually about 20-25 hours per week and make about 1500-2k. sometimes i'll go up to 30+ hours and have hit just under 10k for the month. i've been on SM since 2014. used to do all kinds of sites for skype shows, etc. but a few years ago decided to focus all my effort on 1 site (SM) and lighten the load for social media (it was a soul drainer for me), deleted my twitter, etc. i do zero marketing and let SM handle it all. everyone is different in what they prefer. for me, i can log onto SM, make money, and log off. of course, there are slow days. i've made $15 in 90 minutes, but that isn't typical for me.

That is exactly what I did on SM years ago. I already have lighting from where I have a vanilla job and needed lights. It's just setting up cam space and buying outfits that I dread. I also did not show face in free chat. Just lips down. Cool....I think I can move toward that here soon to get some good cash flow coming in. My PSO job is slower it seems...maybe it is the season. I miss logging in, taking a few shows, and walking out with a wad of cash. I had more big days that slow days so the slow days were just..eeh whatever. TY for the encouragement.

I'm 47 started camming aged 45, I'm heavier than 120lbs and plenty of guys want to see me totally naked. I offer a range of fetish, some Domme, as well as the usual stuff jumping around as well as laying back (although that is not easy it's just different/variation).

YES YES THIS! Here's how I deal with these asshats. If they tease about want to do a show..ask questions..bla bla bla and then bail or ghost, I make a note "TAS" stands for teased about show and I know that is an auto ban next time they show up, which they always do sooner or later. then when I see the note I immediatly send an auto message that says "I remember you! You're the asshole who promised to go do a show AND NEVER DID! FUK OFF!". They either deny it or bail and then I ban them. Just a bit of payback...ahahahahah!

Im not sure about each individual case, but in most countries cam "studios" where the girls get paid hourly wage and work in a actual cam building are still a thing. They dont care about following the rules.

Don't worry ya'll. I'll be on the top front page in a sweatshirt smiling :) There is hope. Maybe it's becoming an odd ball anomaly to be clothed and not talking about sex constantly.
On a serious note (and seriously I do wear sweatshirts in my chat previews A LOT), I've raised my rates and specifically told customers I am not getting topless or nude until after 3-5mins in private or exclusive. That I'd prefer to not get naked at all actually. Customers ask me if I am horny and I am brutally honest. No I am not horny at all. Whatsoever. Why would I be?

Users also tell me I "stand out" by not constantly talking about sex/how fake-horny I am/etc. I just have really open conversations in free chat and it tends to attract the types of guys that like to spend money to "get to know me" one on one in exclusive, or at least the types who won't be super quick and can appreciate a good drawn out tease. I am also fairly honest, but euphemistically so. Like instead of flat out saying "No I'm not horny" I'll say something like "Well I'm in a good mood and I'm down to play, or else I wouldn't be here" (which is true, I can't work if I'm in a bad or anxious mood). Keeps things a bit more upbeat while not being all contrived.
However the last couple of nights I've had a polar opposite crowd as what I usually get. Awful, rude, cheap traffic... usually this is like less than 10% of my room but it's been the majority this past weekend. I blocked more people on Saturday & Sunday night than I did in the last several weeks. A lot of the "come on, show us something" freeloader types, guys who tip $1 gold and then try to make demands, and annoyingly quick private shows. Thank fuck for a few regulars doing exclusive blocks but even then I'm far away from my goals this week.
Also I had to block MULTIPLE people last night saying flat out racist shit in free chat, like several comments in support of the Buffalo shooting... :/ I don't know where Streamate is advertising/driving traffic from lately but it's been an onslaught of cringey trash for me and I hope it goes back to some semblance of "normal" very soon.

Please let us know if this works out for you. I am so tired of the 2 min shows. It doesn't seem to matter how quickly I take off my clothes, they are always fapping to my damn forehead in free chat already, so they never last long.

I constantly fake talking about how horny and slutty and would not put sweat shirt in a million years I say I am horny and they believe me and it’s working lol so it’s always customers for each of us and any style :) but I did notice if you include jokes and talk about regular stuff it helps too so I mix and match the key is constantly talking . U can’t watch at those who are mostly silent /quite for more than couple mins (on my opinion ) and when it’s very quite I just sing and move and sometimes talk to myself bearing in mind they can see/hear us before they enter the room .

i just ordered one and will report back if its lucrative when following the rules. i might have wasted money but we will see.

I do all of this to the T
when i am out of character the guys have no care about my room and move on to the next one. I have to be active the whole time.
last week was bad for me bc my mind wasnt there but my body was so they had very little verbal bc i was surfing the web and my earning reflected that. when i acted normal, money was normal.
I cant bitch at them for not paying me for my job/ going private or tipping if im not being entertaining. I have to do my job for them to spend money
this kinda explains why i hate the term sex worker bc it takes the word entertainer out of it and that's all i am. "adult entertainer" i noticed a huge turn around when i got back into that mentality.

I use to be ok with it and it's a great umbrella term.
IMO its also used in the vanilla world by people when someone/something they know nothing about and it becomes annoying. "sex worker" and that's about as in depth as they get leaving NO context and to the average vanilla persons mindset they read "desperate hoeing".:P

Yes it works :) It works for me and my brand. However, yes sex sells and I am sure there are many many many approaches. I also straight up reject exclusives if user's don't chat with me first. No point in getting pulled from my room if they are looking for something I don't offer.

same. i desperately wish there was a "reject" option for privates too. sucks getting pulled away to a show and having your whole room scatter away while some rando in private starts barking demands for acts you don't even do.
