so i am wondering when i could take 7days off 10days next year for a nose surgery ... february around ST valentine is a bad idea?, so there is some contest if you remember around february march... it is just 7days however i would fit when there is less potential of good income. o better to do in August? i think May was not the best month?
please help to figure out! thanks

I always keep track of the times where it's best to take vacations. I'm not saying there isn't ANY money because I've made money throughout these times too. However, it's a lot less requests overall. This advice is for camming overall - not just SM. I would NOT take off Valentine's day.

Best Times to Take Vacations
2nd Week of June to July 4
Labor Day - Take a 4 to 5 day vacation weekend (Friday to Tuesday off)
The last 2 weeks of November off
The last week of December off

Nailed it. I've been tracking all of this on spreadsheets since I started in 2016 and that is a consistent pattern.
Also, the last 2 weeks of July and the first week of August have been consistently difficult for me so I try to take vacation then if I can afford to.

I could not use my Mastercard from Cosmo to pay for anything online anymore since... 2 years ago I think. So they opened a Visa account for me, and I can transfer money from my Mastercard to my Visa and pay like that. I think you should email them and ask, maybe with the new accounts is easier.

Could be the server you are on (not sure)
I have heard that sometimes using a VPN set to a different location can help. This has been mention in the CGP Discord.
I have yet to try this.

I ended up signing off. My computer is new and in the exact specs they require for top streaming. I am connected directly to my router and have high speed internet. It is them, not us. But of course they will blame us.

I am gonna have to start taking Saturdays off when there is a contest, not worth it. One step closer to becoming someone who takes the whole week off, then who knows.

I do not think the site is fully functional right now, or a white label is down. I have been going on and off since this contest started and I haven’t seen any of my peers looking like they are having a fun sexy time.

Last night I had a shake or what I would call a zap in a mobile c2c show.

Erika changing browsers for that message to go away. Who knows why.

I took off today because I just knew it was gonna be a shit show. I dropped into a few of my favorites rooms and they looked...unamused.

Something has to be going on behind the scenes. Even as a customer, I'm hit with room disconnects and weird glitches from time to time.

25 hours might not be happening for me.

It's been up and down for me the past few months but yesterday, Saturday was the worst yet it is the site my customers were getting disconnected my stream quality bit rate were all over the place, my earnings $50 after 5 hours, never ever ever had that B4

I noticed a post here about blocking potential members on SM. You might find it helpful to use them. When my room is empty or quiet and I have a lot of potential members, I start talking to myself as if I'm talking to somebody in the cam room. And it always works - those potential members become customers. Today I faked a CEI chat - several CEI sessions came from that. Then a cuck chat. And that converted into a paid cuck chat. It's always worth doing it - if you can't make it, fake it until you can!

This is good advice. But I have tried this for years and never once have converted a potential member. I'll have anywhere from 30-120 potential members and I haven't gotten one conversion in all my years of camming.
I'm really impressed with anyone who can. If I had even 5% of my potential viewers signing up and taking me, I'd be a freaking millionaire.

So glad that worked for you!

Has anyone else considered looking at the Rate Analysis feature on SM? I just realized how helpful it really is. I was considering lowering my prices until I saw that each time I increased my rate by $2, my earnings actually went UP. When I was at $5.99 for exclusive, my hourly rate was $56. When it went to $7.99, it went to $101. Now that it's at $10.29, it's at $121.
This shows me my average hourly over 90 days. so on days when I'm like "Fuck, I only made $30 an hour today?!" I looked back and saw that I'm still lucky enough to be banging out a great hourly average and I don't need to lower my prices due to the recession.

Keep it up girls. I'm starting my contest work time soon. I wish you all the luck! I've had to start putting it 5-6 hour days to keep my hustle alive. Conserve your energy. Don't let the negativity get you down. Keep your spirits up.
I try to think of it like this, just because my favorite coffee shop has a slow day doesn't mean they shut the doors and close for the day. Try to remember that there are ebbs and flows of this business. Showing up and doing it is half the battle.

Some models have said "I have better things to do." Well, I hope you do enjoy these other things, if that's really how you feel. But if you REALLY don't have much else to do, what are you going to do? Would you rather be browsing on social media for two hours or have $20 extra in your pocket? Would you rather be watching podcasts or building up your favorites?

I've learned a lot about pacing myself and not putting myself out there too much. I wish you all a lot of luck! And I'd like to encourage anyone who may need it to at least try.

So true! I have bitrate all over the place and no one has even said hi. I wonder if the "reply" feature isn't working...fuk do I know. 3 hours and $9 on SM. Thank fuk for splitcamming. This blows! However..if there is a positive, now i know how bad it is and will get on early tonight and do a good 8-10 hours to make my goal. can't just do a "morning" shift and make it work during fucking contest weeks.

I haven't been able to do it for three weeks. I've emailed videos to the [email protected] email and they know I have an issue, but you should email them too because it may be a big issue.

Even though it worked i would still at least let them know

I am new to this forum, and new to cam modeling, but I have a huge Instagram and OnlyFans following that I brought to the site. I charge no less than 14.99 per minute for my specific niche. I encourage all models to charge as much as they feel confident doing. We are entertainers. I see posts about lowering prices because of a recession. RAISE prices. This industry thrives during economic struggles. It really does.

Love the insight! And thank you!
I think i may know who you are. And if you are who I think you are, you're a legend!

But in all fairness, with all of what you said, you kind of had a celebrity status when you joined.
But to average women who no one really knows, there's not that "celebrity following."

Tyra Banks can charge $40,000. a shoot because of who she is. But me? No one would even pay me $5 for a photo shoot because I have no fame.

I agree with girls charging with what they feel confident and worth, but I just wanted to iterate that you were famous and had a big following before you came to the site, so you already had customers willing to pay.

Today I was notified about early access to streamfans
Streamfans is an upcoming fan platform powered by Streamate. Instead of focusing on the live chat experience, Streamfans puts creator content front and center. Streamfans creators receive 80% of revenue generated from their content, making it the perfect place to connect with your fans and share exclusive media.
It is not letting me post ...

Guessing this is what all the tech issues are abt this week

my cam jitters in private and its real bad when they send their camera}:D

I just hope that with Streamfans higher percentage that models don't really lower the rates which will have a negative affect on SM itself. I can't say I really understand it though. Will we have a link on our Streamate page or is it going to be a totally separate site? All I ever use OnlyFans for is a payment processor for Skype shows occasionally and I'm quite sure no Streamate affiliated site is going to allow that so I'm not sure it is going to do me much good..

^^^I'd like to ask them about this new feature at the next 'tea time ' next week.
But, naturally they chose a topic which is not even really related to it.

TWO MORE DAYS...i can do this. I can't wait for this contest to be over but I know another one will be hitting in a few days for halloween. I'm ok with a 2-3 day contest but these fucking ALL WEEK LONG ONES are a pain in my checking account. I have to work 2-4 hours longer to make a goal even with all the sites open I work. I'm getting a new apt and it' isn't ready until the 27th so I'm just doing the hotel thing until then. It's not a super nice hotel but it does have strong wifi so that's all that matters to me. At this point, I really don't give a shit. Just working and eating for the next 7 days. But overall still grateful for camming. What else just gives you the freedom to just "up and move cuz I felt like it"..?? Maybe that's why I can't settle down. Is camming TOO MUCH FREEDOM?? hmmmm....disclaimer: I'm single with no kids and just me and the dog. Get that money ladies!

Dude, SM is KILLING me on vid uploads! Had 4 vids sit in review for a week. Then I log in today and they were ALL rejected!

1 was rejected due to "inappropriate content" - it is a bi-curious "cumslut" video and the ONLY video where I do DP. 50% of my customers are bi-curious. Now we can't do bi-curious??

3 were rejected because my 15 second video intro contains multiple "pre-recorded" clips strung together. I have this in about 9 of my other videos on SM without complaints.

I give up on Uploading to SM. Besides the fact that their uploading situation blows (have to add it and then not touch my computer for 30 minutes for EACH VIDEO which ties thing up for HOURS) they are inconsistent with what they allow. Luckily my clip sites do well.....

I am NOT going to special edit and export vids JUST for SM. That's ridiculous. I already somewhat tailor my vids to NOT be rejected by SM even though it means editing things out that other sites would approve no problem. That's a big ask for videos that "MAY" sell. I already spend a retarded amount of time editing and uploading to 6 other sites. NOPE!

SMH SM.....

Is it the contest that is murdering me?!! I cannot make money on streamates today. I made $7 in an hour! Normally I make $40 to $60!!!

This is killing me! Let it be over already!

Also does the contest bring weirder rude guys too? I have had way more guys asking for taboo things and trying to bribe me for them today than I have had in months.

I watched YouTube till I got dizzy. Now I am crochetting outside the cam view ;D;D, while trying to look unbored. Luckily the first 2 days of the contest were good for me so the bonus will be worth it....kinda. 30 more mins to go for today, 5 more hours left to do for the bonus. Splitcamming is not helping much, it is pretty slow everywhere....

Literally how I'm surviving trying not to look bored this week. Crocheting myself a sweater and watching YouTube videos about books while telling them how impossibly horny I am. If they only knew!

I’ve been seeing an influx of models claiming they are leaving the site due to recent and not so recent issues. Has streamate really been that bad for the bulk of you guys?

Not for me. It has been a little bit at times but changing when I work helped a lot.
