I've tried that discord link a few times and it never works for me.
The whole server has been overhauled and redesigned this week. The link on the sm help page is now unique to your model account and is no longer a general invite that expires.

Is anyone else getting the (always fun) glitch of popping in/out traffic and also only getting traffic that has visited your room before? I'm pretty much only getting traffic that I've already made notes on being lurkers and hardly any new spenders and it's driving me nuts. One sec everything is fine and I'm doing well and then suddenly traffic falls off a cliff and we're back to the bullshit.
Just for reference I have an 11th generation i9 PC and 50 upload so it's definitely not on my end in any way.

I get these lurkers within the first few minutes of logging on....everytime.
I call them out, and they run.
Lol
I also get them whenever I go on a break or restart my stream.
Who are they?
Bots? Other models/studios?
Guess I'll never know.
Annoying to say the least.

makes zero sense.
a BBW model passed away sept 18, 2019 and her profile is STILL up
her offline placement is around row 3 which is very high for a model that hasn't been on cam for 3 years
she left the house after cam and had a stroke
her last review was August 2019
Thats so sad. :/ She deserves to have her account removed in my opinion, just out of respect. I had a friend of mine who passed away who used to be a BBW model on SM as well. the only reason she had her account removed was because she worked in a physical studio and I'm assuming they had it closed for her.

Back in 2019 during the whole California AB5 fiasco I was emailing someone from Streamate and they stated "Your account will not be deleted, we have to keep accounts forever (although they will close for inactivity)"
In my experience this is true, as I also once had to re-open a super old SM account of mine to change the address and they were able to do it even though I had long ago left that account and was camming on a new account with a new name / cam persona.
For peace of mind, you can continue to log in every month or so and stream for a bit, but I think they keep an archive of all accounts and are able to re-open them if needed.
Yes, thank you.
I've asked them a couple of times to reactivate when I hadn't gone on in a while.

i am having a bank issue my bank was frozen for security issues and i could not receive my payment this week from SM.
do i just push the reissue button for next week once my account is fixed?
is it dangerous (ie triggers account shut down or something ) if i update the payment info to my other bank account and ask for a reissue?
i currently have my entire life savings frozen. yay. fun times over at etrade. (etrade was great until they got bought by jp morgan)
any advice ? ive never had a payment bounce back from sm especially when it is my own bank's fault.

good reminder to set your will up and give your chosen personal representative to have access to your account info. I’m being a hypocrite because I need to update mine with that and a few other items. This is a reminder to myself as well.
Not sure if sm has their process in writing but I can’t imagine them not closing it if a personal rep sent in your death certificate. You will also need that if something were to happen to any of us if we passed while being paid by sm. Taxes and all.

Thanks for your response I'm so sorry you are experiencing the same thing but it's nice to know it's not just me. I've driven myself insane switching out ethernet cords and resetting my router lately but it would appear I just have to accept SM hates me and a select few others at the moment.

It might help some of you to know that the "Liz" you're emailing is no longer a singular person named Liz, but that there's actually an entire team of people who monitor that email address these days. Most of those people are not any more effective than regular support, as I found out when they doxxed me by changing my model name to my legal name when I went to up date my ID after my divorce.

it’s been like this for me for the past few weeks. i believe there have been changes to sm. i strongly believe that .
and it has affected me a lot . i was listening to another model on sm actually tell clients ( yes a bit if an over share ) that she went from making $140 an hour to like $80.
i am in this same boat .
a night where i would usually make $600 i’ve been making like $240.
i am very concerned .

I might just be bitter about that one really bad experience, to be fair, but I felt it was worth noting because I've seen so many posts here and elsewhere from people who have messaged "Liz" and who have gotten conflicting information or who have had very different experiences. It's because it's a team now, and not a singular magical human who has all the answers!

Yes there are pros and cons to a team, problem is if only one person what happens if they leave/are ill/on holiday so in one way perhaps better.

I dont get the ach not worth it to pay and I need the check stub. But my payout sometimes will show up on wed nite also or thursdays. Till now saturday, still dont show my current payout. Sent message to support and group liz all was told well we ill let accounting know.Its not like I get a reply that says oh it was sent out normally on thursday but this is just a techincal issue on the site in my reply. Oh no nothing like that. So the question is , I assume, notice the assume that they sent out the check on thursday, but it just dont show on my payouts.
This has happened in the past to me. And others didnt have payout showing, but the check was sent out.

How do make and sell a custom video through SM please? As I understand it if customer sends Gold to my account I only receive 35% but if the customer buys from media I keep 50% is that correct?

This is really hard and tricky to do as I tried to do it once. The way I solved it was I sent out a mass message for a "Custom video pass" and designed a pretty graphic. It was a PPV and I set a specific price, in which when anyone bought it, they could receive a custom video. And once the message went out, I told my client to open it and I'll do the video.
I actually sold 6 of those and made $300 by accident
I think you can upload videos privately and send them to people, but they can't BUY them and give you the better earnings

I think the typical way would be via the customer tipping gold to "commission" the video and yes, you'd get 35%. As kittengirl mentioned, I have also sent a mass PPV message that when unlocked gave them a "basic" custom video and any add ons would be tipped in gold. Making a PPV message to unlock for a custom would give you the 50%. I would NEVER make a custom video BEFORE getting paid in hope that they'll unlock it for the 50%

this is a great idea. Now for PPV is it better to send it thru your activity feed, or mass message? Which has been most successful for you??

I don't even bother with activity feed. It's too much of a pain in the ass. You're not guaranteed to be seen. But when you send a mass message, it's guaranteed. It's also more private and special. The only thing I advise, is try to not "SELL" it to them. I've made absolutely zero dollars off of activity feed and roughly $500 with mass messages in the last three weeks alone.
Say things like, "Hey baby! You've been so supportive of me and I wanted to offer you this Custom Video Pass where you can get a custom video, made just for you, at a great deal. It's my way of saying 'thanks for the support!'"
Something like that. I put my price at $100 to get $50 because I earn about $120/hr but depending on the custom video, it takes me about 30 minutes to film it, edit it, upload it and send it. If you prefer to just do more basic stuff, feel free to charge less.

I hate how you have to choose who gets the mass message. Wish we could just send to all customers on our lists.
Who are you sending them to? I tried "all paid shows" but mine aren't selling much at all.
Maybe I should choose favorites?

I sent 2 already and the fuckers havent bought even 1 PPV¡ what a cheapos lol I had to take a short break the last months so was on and off of sm so the list of customers is very small" why I only had this option? It Should be sent to all paid shows atleast from 1 year ago where I had more shows. Damm is not working AT ALL.

Anyone else losing favorites with each mass message? I've been sending one PPV mass message out to all favorites every day for a week (photo for $1 or snapchat style video for $2) and I'm getting some decent side money BUT I lose about 10-15 favorites each time I do this. I'm hoping the guys deleting /blocking me aren't actual paying cam customers because then they won't see me on stream :/
