Btw does it freak anyone else out that we constantly have Bluetooth in or just on our virginia slims? Lol

i do :-\ i dont like the idea of having a bluetooth device inside me for hours. i keep my lush hanging off my ring light n fake all the tips i get from free and if i feel like they will tip in a show i put it in before i get nude.

Good to know thanks! I usually don't insert my lush because it hurts to just keep in and didn't even think about the flexer potentially hurting more.

I never really thought about that before but now it's freaking me out a little! Lol

Thank you SoloDesire for your advice =) Over all the years, i've watched how girls handle there rooms. There would be girls who used sound 24/7 and if they got annoyed they would voice it, which I feel like alot of guys would leave from that. It's super easy to get vocal when we get annoyed if the sound is on but when the sound is off, your less to do that...just silently block the idiot and keep waiting for the good customers. Then at the same time, I would watch the girl that doesnt do sound in free chat, just type and shes consistently going in and out of privates. You are right...it just depends on the person. I noticed that I could be nice for only so long and then my bitch side comes out and i'm vocal lol! So, sometimes...sound gets me into trouble lmao! Happy to hear you have success with typing in the free chat. I think I might just stick to that as well lol!

I can attest to guys leaving if they hear that I'm annoyed.
It happened yesterday.
I was pumped that the contest was over, but within 10 minutes freeloaders and past customers who showed up but wouldn't buy a show, ruined my mood.
Normally, I would never show it, but after last week's debacle, I just can't have another bad week.
Especially since there will most likely be 2 more contests before the end of the month.

New guys were asking me why I'm so upset.
Oops.
Not good.
I logged off because it was apparent that my bad mood wasn't going to get me any shows.
Add to that I had a headache, so I probably shouldn't have even tried to be on in the first place.

Today is a new day.

I just read through the updates on BM. Seems SM hasn't paid out bonus yet. It's annoying. Pushing past my boundaries only to find out, who knows when you'll get paid what you're owed... But I won't go on complaining about how I really doubt if it's worth it sometimes :(

Also, is SM 30% or 35%? Does anyone know the exact dollar amount paid for charging $8.99? Because I also feel like my end of shift amount doesn't always match up to the math.



Hey girlie. Okay so in my experience the bonus amount will not show up till Wednesday or Thursday, I get paid early pay so I usually get mine on Thursday. I’ve gotten paid every bonus on time, so I wouldn’t be worried yet.
Also it’s 35 percent if you are signed up directly through them. I think some studios do 32% or 30%? I’m not sure. I think the amount is $3.15 for the $8.99 per minute amount.

Just curious, is this your first year camming? Not meant as a dig



11 months so far and I just discovered this site and have learned so much from all the posts! Do you have any advice babe?

11 months so far and I just discovered this site and have learned so much from all the posts! Do you have any advice babe?

First of all the advice you gave was good, not all of it universal, but good.

From your previous post I gathered that your were in your first year, partially because it reflected my early experience. I had those rates and that hourly for my first 6 months and eventually you want more. We all have a sweet spot with our rates and if we need to lower them we need to lower them. But experience and success should warrant a raise. no matter your price point we all deserve that. You have simply not seen that part of camming yet. for me it was the first time I lost a high spending regular. Who ended up getting so much free attention and headspace that I had to charge more. I keep going up and gradually lost guys who decided that $1 more a minute wasn’t worth it when they could afford 4 hour long blocks. I was fine after but the higher you charge the less consistent the earnings can be. You burn through guys faster when it costs them a ton.

You should be so proud of your earnings, you are doing amazing. For perspective I used to think I was underpriced in comparison to others on the site, now I think I am trending on the expensive side. But maybe that is the general trend. Economy, fake recession. Just keep in mind there needs to be higher priced models for you to keep your price. If seasoned models who are charging and still making double what you are, all lowered their prices to because of this weird downshift, do you not think the market would dictate that you lower yours? I worry for those who have to price themselves low to survive, being forced even lower with the non standard 35% we get. That’s why most most are choosing to leave SM for another platform rather then go down drastically on rate there and stay. SM was always known as the site you charged more on because of the %. That narrative is changing but our % isn’t. You have a reasonable rate but not one that can achieve what were once common aspirational shifts.

Looks like I am going to have to close my account and make a new one directly through sm. Has anyone else had to start fresh on sm with a new account recently? How did it go? We’re your earning hurt a lot or barely noticed any difference? Any advise is much appreciated! Thanks!
If you are signed up with an agency you are in for a shock. The agency have to agree to release you (good luck with that) they then have to then tell SM they have done this and it has to show up on SM's system. You can then sign up independently.
I had not knowingly signed up with an agency (their advert made it look like I was signing up direct). I didn't start camming for a few months after and was wondering why I was only being paid 30%. I had to dig deep with SM to be told I was in an agency, I contacted them to ask to be released but they never replied to the 4 messages I sent to them.
There is a way around this that I am not going to put on an open forum so will send you a message

Would it be fair to say that models who appear on the first page are making $2000 a week roughly?

I often wonder what is considered the first page. It all depends what you are viewing it on surely?
My Iphone puts 2 across and 24 rows. My ipad shows 3 across and 16 rows. -48- But my monitor shows 96 on page 1
Then there is where you are viewing from. I'm in the UK so it always shows the top uk girls first. If I switch to US it shows those first.

Welp looks like Liz handled everything for me. My options are to go to streamate direct or do boleyn for daily pay. How do you guys like boleyn? I'm a little nervous about the cosmopayment/masspay thing. I already have an account with them boleyn but I've never used it. Probably going to sm directly but would love to get your feedback. Thanks!

I'm not with Boleyn so can't comment on them but regarding Masspay / Cosmo, Masspay fucked up BIGTIME recently and SM had to pull our money back and re-issue to us, many girls joined Cosmo instead as I did and it's been fine so far., similar charges and easy to use. I would personally avoid Masspay like the plague, their customer service was non existent and they just left us hanging, it was lucky SM could recall and re-issue our money.

Has anyone else had the experience of guys just not leaving reviews? I have only streamed with SM maybe a handful of times, but have had at least a dozen shows between each stream. The last few were my most explicit yet and I'm low key resenting these guys for not leaving a fucking review. They give compliments during and after the show, but I'm still sitting at 4 stars and with no "member reviews" on my profile.

I'm generally trying not to feel resentful (of the site and the men) or like I'm selling more than I'm getting in return. But the anger is already there :( Any advice on the reviews? I kinda want to ignore/block the guys who have had shows and told me they'd leave a review then didn't. But I know that would be hurting my bottom line more than anything. I'm just feeling really down about it all, and disappointed I crossed the nudity boundary and these pigs can't even leave a review. (sorry to be negative again ladies, I'm having a hard time with this).

*Just checked, I have gotten 3 5-star ratings in the last 90 days.

Yeah this is happening to me. I'm getting 5-star ratings but no one is actually writing out a review. Even worse than that are guys who click out of the exclusive the second you get naked. It's going to be a new rule that I'm not getting fully nude until the 3 minute mark.

Reviews don't appear right away, and when they do it's often a group all at once. It wouldn't hurt to contact support so they can publish any pending reviews and 5-star ratings.

I came back to SM a few months ago, only have 8 or 9 reviews listed and my money is better this time around - I don't worry about the reviews. I charge more now and have hard stops on my boundaries and limits during shows.

I started camming in 2011 and I am still learning all the time. Things that I thought mattered in the beginning often don't, and vice versa.

These guys are lazy af! You have to remind each of them to leave a rating/comment and then only 1/4 of them will actually do it. You can offer an incentive such as a pic if they rate and message you...sometimes that will get them to make the effort. They usually just cum and leave without even saying goodbye in shows. Over time you won't stress it so much...some will leave ratings and most won't. As long as you're doing enough hours and shows you'll stay at 5 stars. And yes, the comments take longer to show up than the rating so keep that in mind.

Yes, this.
I tell them that if they rate 5 and leave a comment, I'll send them a video.
They always do, and it posts right away.
I also tell them that if they stay for at least 5 minutes, I'll do the same thing.
They all agree, but only a small percentage of them actually stay.
Most of the time I haven't even started the show yet.
Probably been jerking before they entered the show.

Yup. Don't you love the guys who say "I've been edging all day"..then you know they're gonna pop in a few minutes and bail on you.

I just got a new Gateway modem from Comcast. I'm hoping it solves my connectivity problems on streamate. Has anyone found this to be the case?

are you going to be using wifi or hardwired? the latter is always better for connectivity. my router is in a different room than where i cam, but i've run long ethernet cables (up to 100 feet) with no issues.

Regarding getting reviews, you can't really say that the guys are lazy as such. Look at all the things that get reviewed online, products, services, pretty much everything, then think how many paying customers actually leave a review. Only a small percentage I bet. It's only the same as that really. I always appreciate a review when it's left! And let's face it, most guys don't even say bye when they've cum! And OMG it's SO slow this week. Was hoping for it to pick up before the Xmas contests but hey ho.

With ratings I think it helps to be really personable/likeable in your shows. I never ask for ratings and I got 54 5 star ones in the last 30 days. If a guy really likes your personality they will do it on their own.

this is my experience too. i don't ask for ratings/comments since it feels awkward and contrived to me, but i still get a decent amount. i got about 25 5-star ratings and 10 reviews in the last month. i'm very flirty and friendly/giggly throughout the show and i always say something like "thank you/have a lovely night/hope to play again soon" at the end. but i also am quite selective about who i agree to take a show from, so i assume that makes it more likely to get a review/rating since i tend to weed out the super quick/rude guys.

Mines the opposite their names stay on the guest side and dont erase like normally after 5 mins. My vips arent showing their status its all weird today

i had this issue with the names staying on the guest list despite people leaving or getting booted if i go exclusive, and it made it really hard to tell who was actually in the room. also had a glitch where the block and kick functions only worked sometimes. it ended up disrupting my night too much to stay on. i've never had that glitch before but it made me realize how imperative it is to have a functioning block/kick button at all times, otherwise it's impossible to moderate the room and it can get chaotic real quick.

does anyone know if masspay is working again yet for SEPA transfers to UK banks? i switched to cosmopay but i've been a bit horrified by how bad their exchange rates are! masspay wasn't great in that regard either, but cosmopay definitely seems worse to me and i'm tired of having money skimmed off my payments :-(

I appreciate your input, but I think those 54 5 star ratings (which mind you, I'm talking about reviews in addition to...and maybe more so than...ratings) might also have to do with things I'm not so on top of right now, like being consistent/logging more hours.

I'm also very inconsistent, I struggle to do more than 10 hours a week.

I'm witty and flirtatious, but I maintain my boundaries. I know there are more stone cold biatches on SM that have their 5 star ratings and multiple reviews as well.


If it takes me longer to accumulate them, then again, it's a matter of me actually showing up. And also, it will require me finding the guys who appreciate me enough to take the effort. I'm not for everyone, and I don't want to cultivate that persona, because I prefer the riff raff to stay at bay.

I am stone cold and have strict boundaries and turn down spenders all the time and have no problem banning long-time spenders, I'm definitely not in the 'please everybody' or 'appeal to everybody' camp. When I talk about being likeable I definitely do not want you to think I mean to everybody. Absolutely not, totally vet your customers and only work on appealing to type of customer you want.


Anyway, time will tell if you're right, or I am ;)

Fortunately there is no wrong or right. Everyone has a different hustle and schtick and audience. There's things that work for other chicks that do not work for me and things that work for me that would not work for other chicks.


That said, I hear your point about personality. I don't think it's the issue in my case. Even if you've peeped my vibe here on SW and think it leaves much to be desired, that's whatever because this isn't how I present on cam. So I appreciate you wanting to drive that point home,

When I say 'being personable' or 'being likeable' I don't mean 'having a good personality,' I think the two can be very different. The former has more to do with how you make people feel, how people feel after interacting with you, and less to do with who you actually are. It can be hard to explain, it's basically just sales skills and people skills that you pick up on after being in sales for a long time (camming being the 'sales').


but I think if I were to try to pretend to be a way on cam that doesn't match my actual energy it wouldn't be sustainable.

Actually you might over time find that 'being yourself' on cam ends up being way more draining than if you were acting. I think the ability to switch in and out of character and thus being able to compartmentalize is what keeps a lot of chicks, and performers in general, from going crazy. Again, not the case for everyone, but if you do find yourself getting drained you might want to consider it.

I think they throw out any comments that include words from the banned list-which is a lot. Like Saturday.

I’m surprised they let the ones with special characters in-those are the random ? In the comments.

i m not sure if working on 24 and 25, i mean i would probably take half day off and going to the gym exceptionally. i do not celebrate xmas w family so i m alone ( happy alone ahah)
but instead to take wednesday 28 off i think that the potential to work more on 28 is higher than 24/25.

ahah it is a dilemma
what you think?

thankss

Lol, yup. That's exactly what happens.
I also have the 'wardrobe change ' guys never stay either.
Had one just yesterday.
He bailed as soon as I got the outfit.
Didn't even get to put it on.
I'd like to charge extra for that, but not now.
It's been too slow to risk it. Took me 4 days this week to make payout.
I'll definitely consider it after Jan.

20 hours in 90 days. That isn’t much. That isn’t even a part-time gig.

I'm aware...

As I said, I haven't been consistent or logged many hours ON SM. Doesn't mean I haven't been working other sites. I'm only now giving SM more attention because it seems like the most straightforward site to learn on as a newb.

definitely no nudity before a few mins. I hate how they try to rush you like, "take off your panties" as soon as the show starts.

i refuse to do shows like this anymore i just tell them im here to have fun too and if they dont wana chat a bit feel free to pass me by. some leave but alot stay and spend a good amt of time talking before they even hint at wanting to see something.

How would you say your real persona is vs your cam persona? Complete opposites?

I wonder if it's that "I'm not an actress" or more so that I might feel silly at first playing up a persona. Also, since I'm so new I don't have a lot of wardrobe or funds to invest into building a character atm...although I was kinda thinking I could play up being "That Girl" because I want to channel that more IRL anyway.

not complete opposites but on cam i just act dumb like a total airhead. the more dumb i can be the more money i can make lol. when in reality i have a smart mouth and no patience for bs. but trust me u dont need things to take on a persona ...just try diff ones and see what they respond to cuz i think its diff for us all.

Another point, to thicken the plot, is that most of the guys who I'm talking about, those who have had longer shows with me, don't hang up on me immediately after cumming. They usually chat me up a little longer, or one guy just gazes at me adoringly. They each have said bye and "thank you" (which I appreciate).

So that's why I'm confused that I have no reviews from them. Ratings, I do have a few. But really, I am more interested in the reviews because it gives me insight from the clients of to what they do like. Ratings don't give that kind of information.

eh, most guys' reviews aren't particularly insightful anyway.

i have a lot guys who are the chatty types that are very polite and take their time/don't leave right after the cum, spend a lot of time just talking, "girlfriend experience" types of shows, etc. honestly only a fraction of them leave reviews. in my experience it's often the case that the more personal a show is, the less likely they are to leave a public review. and when they do it might be a simple one word compliment type thing. i occasionally get semi detailed "reviews" but more often than not it's just a list of flattering adjectives. most guys don't talk about the specific act they requested and how well i performed the thing, so it's not really that constructive or useful of a "review" at the end of the day.

i think the biggest benefit to getting reviews is that it comes off as a plus to guys new to your room who are wondering whether or not to do a show. if you have limited tags or reviews, they don't have anything to go by except your free chat interaction and whatever you write on your profile. i know a lot of guys don't bother reading any of this but i'm confident there are a fair amount of that do, and they are often the ones you want as customers because they actually give a shit about the quality of the show and are willing to spend more money.

the other plus is that it's just a nice ego boost.

but you also wrote that you only worked ~20 hours in three months, so therein lies the obvious reason you haven't racked up many reviews. just get on more and you'll see more results.

i can't stand "acting" which is why i barely ever do roleplays and why my cam persona is simply a modified version of my real self. i hype up/overdeliver on some parts of my true personality, and hide other parts. camming is effectively one of my main social outlets so i treat my room like a clubhouse (similar to how a lot of MFC girls run their rooms). my regs have a good rapport with each other, we all share inside jokes, they come back to hang out and tip a little or a lot every night. we talk about each other's lives and really basic/mundane shit, but that's what attracts some guys. i'm not a hyperhorny/porn star type of cam girl. i literally never tell guys in free chat that i'm horny or trying to cum. i just talk as if you were chatting up a stranger at a bar, lol. but my general crowd keeps my energy up in free chat by staying engaged, and then the rest of my time is spent hustling shows with repeat or new customers in a highly selective way that doesn't drive me crazy.

as far as wardrobe, when i first started out over eight years ago i tried to have a specific classy burlesque type of vibe and it got exhausting real quick, especially once i realized i couldn't turn my natural goofiness off. now i just hop on in panties and a loose t-shirt/no bra almost every night. occasionally i'll switch up and do legit lingerie/dress up, and it's fascinating how it can either turn into a really high or a really low night depending on how the room is vibing.

Hiya everyone, back here again to ask if placement is off for anyone else. I used to frequently be on rows 1 - 3 of the front page, then during that bonus week and after it was row 7, and now I'm down all the way on the bottom of the front page! I'm trying not to freak out, but I am definitely noticing a huge impact on my earnings. I don't have any negative ratings or anything like that.

mine wasn't reacting either yesterday, even though it was connected. I'm just about to get started today so I'll let you know if it works for me.

i bluetooth mine to the phone app on the same wifi and then connect it to the smconnect browser

ETA: it was working in free chat, then went to paid and it didn't react there. just restarted the phone to see if that helps
