Hi everyone! I want to use cosmo payment for my payouts, and SM asks for the "Card Id". Is it the SAN number?

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.
Same here.
When I act ditzy the tips and shows keep coming.
It's exhausting, ( maybe because it's too breathy), so I don't do it often.
Lately I've been experimenting with acting like a robot, with zero personality.
I'll repeat the same sentence over and over again.
They LOVE that, probably because they spend a lot of time in the virtual world of gaming, etc.
When I'm just me, and actually try to have a normal conversation with these guys, they tell me I sound too smart, and the money stops.
Ok.
Whatever works to get the bag.:boobies: :shrug:

That's what I used yes, even though I don't have a cosmo card, I don't need one. The SAN is working fine!

Does anyone know please, can you connect multiple tip vibes to SM at the same time? My Lush 2 drops out quite a bit and I figured if I had two connected then at least one might work when they tipped!

Also, since I'm so new I don't have a lot of wardrobe or funds to invest into building a character atm...
You don't need a special wardrobe, or barely any wardrobe, to be a character.
although I was kinda thinking I could play up being "That Girl" because I want to channel that more IRL anyway.
I think the 'that girl' thing is one of those things that is going to be more appealing to women than it is to men. There can be a big difference between what men find attractive or appealing in women vs what women find attractive or appealing in women. Don't let that psych you out though because I think it's way easier to be attractive to men. Men's standards for women are a lot lower than women's standards are for women.
Now I'm thinking maybe it's not so wise to chat them up too much outside of shows once they've had one (even if by "talking" I mean typing in classic mode with my audio off)
I personally do not talk to guys after shows. 99% of guys do not do that anyway and the 1% that does are probably the kind of extremely annoying, draining customers that you don't want.
this is so real for me . the more i act ... the easier it is. but also i think when i dont work for some days its hard to snap back into my cam persona.
Hard for me after time off as well, and why the more I stream the easier it is to stream. I think this is also why it drives me absolutely nuts when I log on and it takes forever to get my first show; because I usually have to do a couple shows to relax and get into character, but when I log on and then have to sit there for a while it's like I'm just stuck in that awkward in-between spot mentally.

^omg that last part!
It’s more like I use my cam persona for when I want to get my way without creating waves in real life. It’s a mode I can get into, but one that is best used for getting money from horny men.

I think I have another one :( He's soon becoming a regular, but he sits in my room chatting with me until he's ready for a show. Which was fine in the beginning, but tonight after the show I got back on because I'm trying to be consistent with doing no less than 4 hours per shift, and in that last hour he sat and chatted with me the whole time...and it was low key draining. Any pointers on how to correct this behavior for next time? He does do longer shows so I don't want to drop him.
Unfortunately until you are comfortable with policing those kinds of guys you'll keep getting more of them, they go around looking for girls that they can do this with (and a lot of them purposely seek out new girls just for this reason). I would personally just be willing to lose them as customers and would start telling them to leave and/or boot them out of the room. If you are set on keeping them hopefully someone else on here will have some better advice.
There is no way to prevent guys from pushing your boundaries, you just have to get better at maintaining them yourself.

Solid point now that you mention it...
When I imagine myself thriving as "That Girl" that scenario mostly involves me connecting with other women who are also on "that level", or just me living that lifestyle and going to the nice gym, and my fancy skincare by the sink. LOL. If a man does come into the fantasy he's like super classy and approaching with full respect and like not trying to fuck me. LOL. So, I think you're right that this is a more female gaze type thing! Really glad you took note and called it out, because you're right. Men are way way easier. So I'll save my That Girl goals for IRL and play up the kinda ditzy hot girl on cam.

I tell them their tip:chat ratio is not working for me. If they don't get the hint, I tell them I'm sending them on their way and boot them. If they come back, I tell the "final warning" and if they keep chatting + no money, blocked. Even with people who are silent, if a get annoyed (takes longer for me though), I put them through the same process, kick, warning, final warning, block

@goddessgalore you've gotten so much great advice I don't have anything new to say except don't put too much pressure on yourself about the ratings & reviews. For the most part it's not about anything you're doing or not doing. It's just the guys who are doing shows with you. Some guys are the type to help you out in that way and some aren't. You can ask, but it's up to them. It took me forever to get my first 5 5 stars and more than one review, but now I get about 10-15 ratings every shift.
I think the guys who leave ratings & reviews are guys who are regulars on the site and they understand how much it benefits us to do that and they care enough to be cool about it. That's going to be a very small percentage of the guys on the site. They'll find you eventually, so the advice to show up more is really the best you can do. The more you're there the more opportunity the right ones have to find you. Just do your best, make yourself happy and comfortable, and be patient. You'll get everything you want with time.

is that all he said? if so i wouldn't bother. the word "teen" is literally a streamate category. it specifies 18+ but it's still the word that is used.

;D yes honestly better safe than sorry. IT IS CONTROVERSIAL. teen is underage but approuved LOL i m not saying nothing against you Anonamiss, i thank you for your comment!! and Merry Xmas!!

thankssssss i ll update here when i got Liz email.

Wish me luck. Uh-durrrhh :dunce: lol
lmaoo how did it go ? and i just ban anyone who is even the slightest bit rude, i just think if they r like this without paying i dont even want them in my pvt. but i really think i get treated better when i act dumb af... where as when i seem in control i get guys who more wana challenge me.
How do you know if there is a 21 day kyc hold on your first sm payment or not?
yes it is an hold on, i had that
I see. Okay. I'm going to try playing dumb. I was watching Gentlemen Prefer Blondes the other night and took notice of that line where Marilyn Monroe's character says something along the lines of she's not dumb, but men don't seem to like it when she's smart anyway. I also had a guy friend tell me that he thinks my intelligence is sometimes a double edged sword for me. I've always felt like it's my best asset, even beyond my looks...but maybe I would get further if I played stupid...lol. I'm going to give it a shot. Wish me luck. Uh-durrrhh :dunce: lol
play stupid is better LOL keep me sane also. because yes it is just fun guys switching off their neurons when they are on CAM ahah so i stay in a same kind of level ;D;D in a marketing way you should be adapted to your audience OMGGGG
there are some still more intellectual ... rare but there are
Thanks for answering! I know that there is a general 21 day hold but it doesn’t apply to everyone. I was just wondering if the people who had 21 day hold had any notification if they were on a hold or not.
it is write on your payment recap, i do not remember which page but payment status whatever just look to it! you ll see write somewhere. once it is finish your week and you are supposed to get the money, i think that then you ll see it write.
you can ask to support, why not

Oh I still would've blocked him and not take the risk of doing a show that might get me in trouble. I was just saying I probably wouldn't have bothered reporting and sending this particular instance to Liz. But no harm in doing so, always better to be safe than sorry on SM for sure.

Anyone else's earnings from Friday reflecting less than they made? Also, has anyone gotten pay out through BM for Friday?
In SM my pay is reflecting over $100 short (and hours wise it's saying I was online for 1.5 hours less than I was), and no money has been sent to BM or MP.

For anyone on the fence about getting online today, traffic was great for me! I thought it would be dead but I had more potentials than I have seen in months, and ended up doing a gold show (which I never do) because I had so many new guys in my room. Good luck getting that Christmas coin! 🎄
Also:
I spent the entire holiday weekend feeling annoyed by this guy. Fuck him. I've never regretted blocking anyone who made me feel icky, there are always more dicks. If you're worried about revenge porn, invest in a service that tracks that stuff down and issues DMCA notices for you.

I had to block a good reg recently, usually quite generous too. The reason was that we had a show and he was pushing me to put the tip vibe up my pussy with the big end, something I find super uncomfortable and never do. I said no but he kept on pushing, asking even when he knew I would find it painful. I didn't do it and eventually he left, I'm not crossing my boundaries for anybody and especially for someone who gives no fucks for my comfort. Next time he came in he was blocked straight away. Fuck him. someone wants to act like that, no fucking way. What a vile person he is.

I'm pretty sure I know the customer you are talking about. He's a well known boundary pusher, and likes to see how far he can make a model uncomfortable. He spends well but he basically wants to rape models. He has his way with words to push your boundaries. I blocked him a couple of years ago, he is disgusting.
I think I had to block the same guy last week.... Dom type, spends a lot of money but doesn't take no for an answer if you don't want to hurt yourself.... Blocked his ass so fast.

Most customers honestly are fine! I used to escort and all I think when I get a boundary pusher on cam is how thankful I am not to be in a room with him and how I can block him with the press of a button. Mind you, I bet that most of the rude ones on cam wouldn't have the balls to act like that face to face.

i was escort for 6y in Uk, i never had bad experience as such however blocking people on cam is so easy compared how to feel you are alone with a man in a hotel room.
stress is such crazy high, and now i won t back to escort easily but as Fetish said yeah in real they would not act like that, no balls behind a screen is easy be a ass****
i learnt lot from escort! idk how i did ahah;D;D;D;D now on cam is another universe and feeling safe is priceless. still stressful but no way same level of stress of escorting.

Greetings y’all,
I just came back to Streamate after a two year hiatus. I am currently studying abroad in Latin America and I need to cam because my money is running out (lowkey haha). I’ve been camming for a few days (I took the holiday weekend off) and it’s going a bit slow for me so far. I reactivated my old account from two years so I wouldn’t have to start over from scratch. Guys would just come in and out of my room and not say anything. The ones who do tip and get privates show love, but it isn’t enough. I have to be patient and keep going online to get the ball actually rolling. My room just be slow and dead haha.
Problem is my internet speed isn’t the best to stream from my computer, so I have to stream from my phone. Which sucks because on the mobile version of SMConnect, you cannot block nor write notes on the guys. Also, I hate it when my internet decides to go out whenever I’m in a private chat…. Not only I’m loosing out on money but it’s embarrassing! I am in process of getting my own internet modem. I currently share the wifi with my roommate and the upstair neighbors. I feel like if I have my own wifi network and it’s only my computer logged into it, my internet speed would probably be much faster for streaming. Unfortunately I have to jump through so many bureaucratic hurdles in this country just to get Internet registered in my name smh. Hopefully once I get my migrant ID card, I’d be able to register for internet in my name.
My goal is to make $100 or more a night. I’m not aiming super duper high because $100 is practically my rent here lol. Last night I’ve made $50 and a few days ago, I’ve only made $21. My goal is to work mid day shifts (2pm-10pm EST) and four days out of the week. What do y’all think? I’m also a Black cam model too. I get the fetishy guys. I feel like once I get my internet issues situated and start camming from my computer, my money would flow easier.
I’ve also been camming on the Coco app for the time being. It’s trash. It’s like pulling teeth to get the guys on there to spend money. But I will use it as a backup when SM is painfully slow.
I’m excited to cam again because when I did it in 2020, I didn’t have the privacy and I hid my face. I’m excited to see how this is going to go.
kk446
12-27-2022, 11:44 AM
My first few streams I didn't even make enough for cash out. Maybe SM is testing our commitment. Lol. But $100/day isn't a huge goal, I think you can do it. Just keep showing up. Also, maybe you can find one of those wifi dongles (lol, if that's what they are called), the ones that look like a USB. Although it might not be suitable for streaming. But something worth looking into while sorting out the modem. Or maybe set up a hotspot from your phone?
hi, yes! You definitely have to keep showing up for sure! I’m currently on summer break and I really don’t have anything else to do to preoccupy my days here. So camming it is lol. Yeah $100 a day isn’t a lot in US terms, but here in this Latin American country that I’m in, that is most people’s rent. I don’t have the lush toy nor a whole lot of things, so $100 a shift is realistic for me for now. But I always aim and hope for the best!
yes they do have usb wifi hotspots and mini modems. Unfortunately I do not have a hotspot on my phone. My phone plan doesn’t offer that. I should get my migrant ID on the first week of January and I really hope it’s eligible for me to register for internet. Yes even for the mini modems and dongles, I still have to go through a lot of hurdles lol.

anyway i wish sm would do one day contests instead of two days during holidays. A lot of times I can’t work one out of the two so it really makes it hard to place.

It is all nonsense and the prize money is so low. I was confused by the same thing because I was in the 400s at the beginning of my shift and made like 200 and went up to 157?
I was really pleased that it seemed like everyone was making okay-ish money during this contest from regular pay at least.
