I bailed about 45 minutes ago because a few regs were complaining that my feed was weird. They said it would slow down and speed back up... Makes sense.

Does anyone have advice on ratings? I'm a new model and my ratings are coming in but I have some 1 stars from guys who obviously didn't read my profile keeping my rating down a bit. And I just read that the guys who love me, do long privates and keep coming back can only rate once. It's so annoying!

Ask support to remove the 1 star.
They always have for me.
I'm not sure about being able to only rate once?
I always ask in shows, for a 5 star rating, some times they do, or not.

;D do not take it personally all feedbacks bc rarely they are constructive. guys are frustrated, they do not know what they want. just say no they dislike you. ofc you are not going to do everything LOL they ask.
still hard for me bc i like to please. under 3min they remove usually. or if you have screenshot maybe if it is over they are going to study it not sure about that.

They can rate each time but only their most recent rating counts. Ratings drop off after 90 days so their recent ratings will stay with you when the 1 star losers drop off.

Great advice above. Also think about raising your rates. It's amazing - cuts way down on the high-maintenance/difficult crowd. Also, in my experience, weeds out the low-rating power-trippers.

Me too but I think it's because there are so many online trying to get that bonus money. That always pushes my placement down.
It annoys me because I'll have to work extra hours to even get the usual amount due to so many being online, so the bonus really isn't anything extra for me, unless I get really lucky.

For the past week, I'm only getting 1-2 people in my room per 5-10 minutes. It doesn't matter what time of the day I log on either - my traffic is consistently this terrible. Does anyone else experience this?

I'm freaking out too... badly. SM is my main site and SM and all my side eggs are just completely dead. It's been getting slowly worse over the past 4 months and I'm in a situation where a vanilla job is going to be really hard for me to get. idek what to do anymore. I have no clue how to force better traffic on SM.

Hi. Its seems there is no natural traffic. Im having a good day and the next one i barelly have someone in frechat. One in like 5 min. I have a feeling this is a automatic thing. It just cant be natural. Someone has to stop traffic for other girls to do good. Its just a wheel . Wheel of traffic. I do have this feeling since few months. Cant be real.. what is happening cant be real.

I have put myself in such debit living off my credit cards, its going to take me years to get out of it. I am disabled, I can not work outside the home nor find a job that will be cool with an esa dog (he is legit, not some internet thing). I have to work from home. This is crazy. I have been in the industry a very long time and I never had to live off credit cards before. Eating ramon noodles... yes but never this. I cant even get trolls in the room to just freaking help pass the time. I even watch the top two rows of girls losing their mind in boredom to. It is all over their face and they usually are good at hiding that, till now.

I can't wait to raise my rates. I started at $9.99 but made nothing so I dropped down to $5.99 and things have been consistent. It burns me to know how much I could have made if my rates were higher but I guess I have to stick it out for a bit since I'm new.
On a similar note does anyone promote SM? I know there are other options with higher percentages to send private clients to BUT 70% of $9.99 and up sound reaaaaaal sweet. This is the only site where it's not uncommon for models to have higher rates.

First day back to camming and considering it's bonus week, it wasn't horrific. It slowed down around 2AM, so I ended at $432 after about 4 1/2 hours. I hope the rest of the week isn't too bad.

i do not send client on SM tbh. rarely send on websites where take their margin unless i have a good referall % and i see them as a big user potentially spend on girlss but IMO it is more expansive for them and i prefer they spend on me. LOL
i do in my own. i promote other platforms where i take more higher margin and it is a more 1:1 thing anyway if they know me externally they known i m on SM and others 6 websites ;D;D;D;D
but maybe more experienced girls cangive their opinion on that matter. this is how i do, not sure if it is the best

I used to, not bc of the 70%, but bc of the 20% I can get from their spending on other models - but then my customers ended up only spending on me anyway!! Lol... So it's better to take them somewhere like LoyalFans (80%) or pay by crypto or tip on WishTender (90%).
IMO, SM should increase the % for models referring customers bc there are such better options now. The only good thing is making 90% off referred customers buying my videos.

I always ask in shows, for a 5 star rating, some times they do, or not.
Also, even if you get more than one 1-star rating, (multiple 1 star rating) still ask for its removal..
Also, I ask for member bans, 2 of em recently pulled shit & disappeared before I could..
I asked for their ban, they didn't get back to me which's fine, they did the bans though.

if I had private clients I would consider sending them to SM for a few reasons. if you're normally getting 35% then you'd be getting 75% for anything he spends on you (40% referral), which is only 5% lower than the standard 80% payout for indie/tribute sites. if you normally get 30% from SM, 70% is still decent because like you said you can get away with charging a higher rate on SM than elsewhere. plus you get 20% of anything he ever spends on another model, forever. i make close to $100 extra most weeks from two guys who rarely spend on me anymore but actively spend on the site in general.
another upside (assuming the site is functioning properly) is that you wouldn't have to bother with logging off/pre-scheduling/pre-paying for a skype show which I personally hate doing and find it tedious and annoying. if you're already on SM and your private client hops on you can just do your show conveniently during your regular shift.

I have a new Streamate account and my webcam keeps getting disconnected. It happened when a guest tried to take me exclusive and it happened again when I tried to go live again. Half the time when I try to go live Streamate doesn't even recognize my Logitech. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this?
My Logitech is from 2017 but my MacBook is brand new. I'm not sure if maybe my Logitech has gone bad or something?

I like LoyalFans percentages and the referral program is awesome! But I didn't do well there at all. I'm thinking of going back and using it once I build a fanbase but in the meantime I could be making money on Streamate since it's more plug and play AND have private guys come in every once in awhile. Feels better than keeping an extra tab open in a dead room all the time or waiting for someone to contact me on Skyprivate. I dunno. Thinking things out.

This! This is exactly what I'm thinking.
