I just had the weirdest glitch happen to me. People in my free chat would just sit there without saying anything and I kept kicking them out because that's what I do when they are silent and don't answer my Hello. Until I thought "heck, why is NO ONE saying a word??"and I asked them to send me a message to let me know if they can type. They told me they could type but I was apparently not getting their messages. I tried to answer to someone's message and say thank you for letting me know but guess what? I hit send and nothing came up in the messenger. I had to log out and log back in my streamate account and the free chat typing glitch seems fixed, but if I type in messenger my messages are still not coming up on my screen, they only do after I refresh the page.
So, if no one is talking to you is not you! Try logging out and back in.
Man, this ia a new one...:O

Yesterday I had a guy in a show who usually types a lot. All the sudden he went silent. He turned on his mic and told me he could not type anymore. I thought it might be his keyboard but maybe not after reading your post.
I just tried replying to a message and it didn't go through. Logged out and in and it's there. Thank you!!

Massive asshole alert. I got on this morning and it was really dead. This fucker with the name comes in called ErectMcNugget and just sat there for a second. I said hello to him and was really cheery. Even though this morning's shift was kind of rough. He goes "Man I feel really sick to my stomach." I said, "I'm really sorry. Did you get the flu or something?"
He goes...
"No, I looked at you."
He proceeded to make fun of me for being fat. And it was really hard to ignore him because I KNOW people like that literally get off on being blocked, but they also get off on starting shit with people and getting a rise out of them. So for a few minutes I just ignored him while I was trying to get his member ID number.
I'm not gonna even start on the rest of the shit he said to me. I eventually blocked him, and reported him for massive model harassment and I wrote the liz email an email begging for his account to be permanently shut down.
Here's the member ID number: userid=113543234

Honestly, I don’t really care if these guys get off on being blocked. The second you say anything that I find rude I’m blocking you and that’s it. I refuse to just ignore it. On top of that I will report them immediately.
I once had a guy come into my chat with 3 different accounts back to back to keep insulting me. I would block one account and immediately afterwards another account with a similar username would come in and immediately start insulting me and calling me fat. Like it was literally within seconds of block him. I don’t know if it was a bot or what, but it was clear their only goal was to harass me. If they also had 3 different accounts to do that back to back like that I’m assuming they were trying to do it to other models as well. I reported all 3 of his accounts to support and Liz and I was told it was going to go to the fraud department.
These men are such losers.

For real. 'Tell me you have no life without telling me you have no life.' My friend cracked me up once because she was telling me about how for some reason she had a ton of trolls during her shift, and she said something like 'Internet trolling is literally the loneliest thing ever, and they think THEY'RE gonna hurt 'MY feelings?? Lmao.'

Lmao she’s so right! Like excuse me, sir, you’re going out of your way to harass strangers because you need the attention so bad. That just tells me that you’re a miserable loser with a lot of issues, especially insecurity annd loneliness issues. There is no way you can hurt my feelings or make me curse you out because I know I cannot compete with your self loathing and self-hatred. You already lost lol!
And I truly believe men that go out of their way to harass women specifically are the most bitch made mofos ever.
This is why I always tell women that work in the adult industry to stop going back-and-forth with these men. I see it all the time on Twitter and it makes me roll my eyes. Stop giving these trolls attention. We all have to remember that this is probably the most female attention they have gotten in weeks, months or even years. Negative attention is still attention. That’s why I will never post screenshots of their comments, their emails or whatever to humiliate them. I also won’t go back-and-forth with them. If you want to argue with me, then you can pay for that. Time is money. Like I have men that pay me to degrade and humiliate them. Why would I do that to you for free? Why would I waste my time and frustrate myself when it’s clear you hate yourself? They get off on making us react negatively to their comments.

Were you able to do more things in free chat on cams . com?
I’m trying to see what other sites I want to sign up on and split cam with.
I'm pretty strict in my chat, without even flashes or anything regardless of site. If you're looking for a site were free chat is up to whatever you are in the mood for maybe try Stripchat?
Or just some other options for private based sites depending on your country as I think some of these sites only accept certain countries but I could be mistaken could be XModels, IMLive, LiveJasmin, Flirt4Free, IsLive ( horrid pay per minute though) 777livecams or Visit-X

Thank you so much for the kind comments and support. I agree. It's like how low of a human being do you have to freaking be? You're right, I'm just gonna start blocking them immediately and not give them the time of day. To have it happen THREE FUCKING TIMES? I can't even imagine how mental someone's mind has to be to ENJOY doing that. What angers me so much, is that so many people commit suicide because of psychos like this. And they don't.even.care.

I know...clearly a broke, no life loser. The the funny thing is I was especially busy. He was heckling during my GS countdown, saying I wasn't gonna make my goal, that I could have been making money with him... in the GS a member tipped the full amount to hit my goal and said "you deserve it after that asshole."
Right after, as he was going on again and saying I wasn't making money, I got taken exclusive for 30 mins... I definitely felt smug lol

You’re welcome! And I know! But whatever helps them feel better about themselves right? They’re sick and evil people. And yes just block them. I don’t even give them a reaction or response. As soon as I see something that is rude, I just block them. They’re not gonna get the satisfaction of me even saying something directly to them. I’ll just be quiet with a straight face and just block them and report them. They want the reaction. They get off on it.

I swear 9 out of 10 times whenever I get a troll I randomly end up making a lot of money not long after they leave. Like if I'm online and it's slow and I'm ready to leave and then I get a troll I'm like 'Oh shit things are about to turn around....' and then I stay on to wait for it.

I encounter trolls from time to time. There's one who has multiple names. He comes into my chat, starts off being submissive then talks about how he wants to dominate me. Of course, because I'm not a switch, that's never going to happen. And when I tell him it's never going to happen, he gets abusive. So I've blocked him. And yet he comes back with yet another name. So what do I do now? I ignore him. I don't even acknowledge him. He sits there, getting more and more frustrated because I won't bite. He's even come into paid mode and tried this crap - and I've still ignored him. He's too thick to realise that not only is he failing to get a rise out of me, but he's also paying for that failure. It's his sport. And I'll keep ignoring him and taking his money until he gets bored - which he will. Long before I do.

The other thing I find annoying is this. I make it clear both on my bio and in my room topic that C2C is ONLY available in exclusive chat. Most will accept this. But then you get the odd cheapskate who comes into private and tries to add his cam. When I tell them to upgrade to private, some either upgrade or leave. But then there are the morons who will repeatedly send through c2c requests in PVT, despite me telling them multiple times to upgrade if they want c2c. Today's record was 5 times - then I blocked him. If he can't even understand the most basic of instructions, he certainly isn't sub material.

Up to you but that seems very cheap, especially as you only get your 35%. If he had a show with you, he can only experience that one time, but if you make him a video he can watch it over and over again. Add to that your time to make it and edit it. If you are happy to make it for $100, then do it, but it is going to be a lot more work and time than a 15 minute exclusive show that you don't need to plan. :)

regards to onlyfans.. tell him you can not discuss other websites and you can potentially be suspended or banned from the site
15 minutes of anal
I do anal in exclusive with a 50 dollar tip
15X10= 150 (9.99 is my exclusive rate,go off your exclusive rate bc its a exclusive show)
anal 50.00
moaning his name 25.00
the fact you can't resell it will tag a extra 100 or more
if he wants big toys, a extra 100.00
^^^ just give you some reference how I price videos w extras
you also need to think of the time editing the video and if you want to charge for that. I typically dont charge for editing

Damn, you are PATIENT! If I tell them ONCE and they resend it, I tell them if they cannot respect my boundaries they are going to make my pussy dry up and I will not play with someone who is disrespectful like that. I give them an opportunity to correct their behavior. If they don't then notes and ban.

I'm across a few platforms, at least once a day on cam a guy will pop in and mention videos on my manyvids, clips4sale, onlyfans, skype shows, etc.
I have an auto-message with a thumbs down symbol (lol) which says this:
Sorry, I cannot discuss that topic on this site. Offsite contact is NOT allowed. Thanks for understanding! :)
Plus I also verbally tell them: Sorry, I'm not going to discuss that on here.
99% of guys will understand and then just do a show or leave, and occasionally I'll have to block guys who keep asking for more info.

I'm getting stressed. In the last 7 hours of streaming I have made about $28. I made 11 something on SM on Tuesday and figured that was just a fluke but I've been on 3 hours again today and only made 18. Now thankfully other sites have saved the day but this isn't normal.

It is definitely not normal on SM right now. I am at $200 and normally by now am at $700-$900. I'm fucked.
Has anyone else been paying attention to the front page? I think they changed the placement algorithm. I'm seeing models normally at the top of the page STUCK on the mid-bottom of the front page and never moving up. (Models that are usually in the top 3 spots ALL THE TIME) Also, I've seen a bunch of random models that I never see on the front page.
To say my traffic has been erratic is an understatement. Usually have 7-10 guys and 1-2 potentials - yesterday I had potentials in the 30's but would go long periods without a logged in member. Only members I seem to get are regulars/people that have already visited.
I'm not really getting any new spenders/traffic which as we know is CRUCIAL to being successful.
My ADHD ass cannot handle a dead room, much less handle it with 30 gawkers that aren't paying/interacting..... Also, not a good way to encourage potentials to sign up if my room is dead af through no fault of my own.
Not trying to "conspiracy theory" just seeing if anyone else has noticed this..... and sorry, venting too.

My hourly this week is $3/hr at 15 hours worked. This site has gotten progressively worse for me for the past few years and I'm deleting my account today - I'm over it.

I don't do custom videos anymore. Not worth my time and not worth the money. 15 minutes may be too long for maximum file send capacity too :) I have to edit mine down to a little bit below 8 minutes because they're always more than 4G.
Regardless, that is DIRT...FREAKING...CHEAP. You have to spend time setting up, filming, editing, approving, and sending. I shoot about 15 minutes of film and have to edit it down to 8, by all that time I've spend almost an hour or longer on it.

Anyone know of another site that is the same format as SM to split on?
NOT CAMS - I left there after being a top 20 model for 3 years because they ran that place into the ground.
Too ADHD to split with MFC/CB. Splitting sites have to be in the same format for me to be able to do it ;)

My hourly this week is $3/hr at 15 hours worked. This site has gotten progressively worse for me for the past few years and I'm deleting my account today - I'm over it. I don't know what is with traffic or with this site anymore but it doesn't pay my bills and I'm done with it. I will be putting my time into MFC, Stripchat, NF, and SextPanther.
Woooowwww.... I'm so sorry you're going through that. I wish you lots of luck and I hope it works out for you.
I've been reading these comments and you all are not alone. I didn't want to say anything because even though I'm making less than half of what I use to, I'm still making substantially more than everyone and I didn't want to be "that girl." I usually make around $120-$150/hr , then it dribbled down to $90-$120/hr. Now it's down to $55/hr.
I've had several regulars who were big spenders (like I made about $200/week off of each of them) write me messages saying "I'm sorry. I have to stop because I financially can't afford it anymore." I'm grateful because some still come in, and they'll tip me like $10 if they can. But $3.50 from a tip is a LOT less than $78 after an exclusive.
No one can deny it's the economy. I know we had this talk earlier and some girls were in denial. But we will pull through this. Try to hustle your social sites and build up that OF. It's how some cam girls are actually getting by. I wish you luck!

I know I'm not alone. And don't worry about being "that girl." The economy is hurting all of us. The most I ever made on SM was around $50/hr - and I was ok with that! 50/hr justified the 65% they take from me. But I just can't justify the percentage anymore when I'm not even making minimum wage. And yes, I'm going to put more time into my indy sites and possibly start up OF again. I hope this all turns around for all of us.

I only come here when it's super slow so I can vent. Sorry yall. But damn this week has been one of the worst in months for me. My regulars haven't been around lately and this week was brutal... I'm talking about $10 days. Every day. I know it will get better (it always does) but it just sucks sitting with that ring light in my face for hours without making money. It's definitely the economy.. the big spenders are from the United States and I heard this year things got very expensive and complicated there. Stock market got shit this year... nobody made any money so it just shows how things are trash rn.
My tip - after years camming - is to just hang in there because IT WILL get better. Have patience and have money in your bank so you will not struggle nor get desperate during slow weeks. When it's slow try to do something else such as record a video to sell or take pictures to post later. Also don't rely only on Streamate y'all.... there's multiple camsites out there. Camming isn't only about streamate even though they have the most traffic nowadays.

Hi :-) there's Flirt4Free. It's just like Streamate and quite similar to Cams as well. Give it a try.
ImLive is premium too but that site is complicated af. They give away tons of bonus credits to customers and when they use these free credits on you thats 12% you get and you only find out after the private is over. So you are doing a crazy naughty wild 1 hour show and when it's done you get a surprise that you got 12% for that private instead of 35%. The good feature of that site is that you don't have to deal with free chat freeloaders. I sit in private mode and only hear the ding dong of a member requesting to enter my room and the show starts.
PS: I used to read your blog a few years ago :-) I think it was called JustMilfnAround too? Your articles were so funny and real. I could relate to everything you used to write.

OMG Thank you! I will definitely check out both!
Does F4F process signups pretty quickly? ImLive sounds nice cuz no free chat. I'm really burnt out on entertaining for free. Do you have a signup/affiliate links so I can sign up under it as a thank you for helping me out? I may sign up later today after I eat lunch if SM doesn't pick up.
Again, higher potentials than usual but a quiet in and out room.
I'm going to give SM one more week and then I'm packing up my dildos and going somewhere else. I can't afford to lose this much money on a non-contest week. This week pushed me over the edge.
That's so flattering! I stopped blogging because I didn't really think anyone was reading it and I got busy with other things. I've debating putting it back up. Thank you <3

Heavy on the packing up my dildos because I’m definitely over it. I never thought I’d be a token site heaux but why am I making more on freemium sites, doing less, than I am on SM- dildoing the life and soul out of kewchie for 3 min shows?? What in the entire fuck is Streamate on? lmfao
I seem to do well with car shows so that’s what I’ll start doing exclusively - on MFC and StripChat . Ironically enough, my car is going to be in the shop this weekend. So this is probably my last weekend on Streamate - and my last shift, period.

Hey hun
i emailed flirt 4 free and asked if they allow split camming they said they didn’t so I didn’t bother, for their percentage , think it’s 27% that’s ridiculous. I’m trying many sites now where no free chat so cam lust I’ve joined , xpanded /so spoilt also I’m trying to cam on loyal fans and seeing how it goes. For all of you out there who use a DSLR camera, flirt 4 free don’t support them which was a big no no for me as that is what I like to use. I just split them all all at same time. I’ve signed up to imlive but not cammed there yet and this whole percentage thing is putting me off, I just can’t get motivated for that . I tried bonga cams wasn’t for me, strip chat is ok but you got to build up your regs on there and it takes time , unlike SM where you could just make money . There’s a few Skype like cam sites that are ok and you can just have in the background. I’m just spreading myself around as much as pos, but I only do free chat on SM and strip chat.
QUOTE=JustMilfnAround;3303210]It is definitely not normal on SM right now. I am at $200 and normally by now am at $700-$900. I'm fucked.
Has anyone else been paying attention to the front page? I think they changed the placement algorithm. I'm seeing models normally at the top of the page STUCK on the mid-bottom of the front page and never moving up. (Models that are usually in the top 3 spots ALL THE TIME) Also, I've seen a bunch of random models that I never see on the front page.
To say my traffic has been erratic is an understatement. Usually have 7-10 guys and 1-2 potentials - yesterday I had potentials in the 30's but would go long periods without a logged in member. Only members I seem to get are regulars/people that have already visited.
I'm not really getting any new spenders/traffic which as we know is CRUCIAL to being successful.
My ADHD ass cannot handle a dead room, much less handle it with 30 gawkers that aren't paying/interacting..... Also, not a good way to encourage potentials to sign up if my room is dead af through no fault of my own.
Not trying to "conspiracy theory" just seeing if anyone else has noticed this..... and sorry, venting too.[/QUOTE]

yes flirt4free accepts pretty quickly. Like 1 hour or so. I love the no free chat of ImLive. I focus 100% on Streamate and when I hear the "ding dong" I jump to imlive and accept the private request. Ahhh unfortunately neither have a referral link for models which sucks but definitely give them a try.
There is also LiveJasmin but I have no idea about there :-(
