Pretty sure a studio found me on an indy directory and tried to recruit me through skype today. Annoying, unsolicited, long winded messages about how much I *could* make per month on a low amount of effort, with the ability to eventually earn *up to* such and such %? Check!
I asked him if he was a studio, and he said no, but when I checked out his site, the model sign up page linked back to LJ.

You mean how long do you have to be with them before going independent? Or? Dailypay officially does not have contractual "you cant leave us" times like other virtual studios. However, that is my understanding as of 2012, best to confirm with DP.

Other people would just stay with it until they earned enough then theyd leave depending on their own savings goals because it takes time to leave and restart again. because you have to completely sign up all over again on streamate, and then you would have a 3 week payout delay on your first payment (after that it is weekly). Id suggest earn a few cycles of payments first.

Keep in mind because you live in Hungary you will earn 30% even independently. Independently you'd be still making 30% but bonus is: youd be independent and there are less payment processing fees for being paid weekly instead of Daily. So it is up to you on how you feel about the service, what independence means to you, what your goals are,etc. But independently and via DP you still earn 30%, just bear in mind on DP you probably have daily processing fees depending on how you choose to get paid (payoneer, bank transfers, etc).

Im saying all of this so youre able to make your own choices. Let me know if this makes sense.

And youre welcome, thanks for the thanks - glad youre not stuck with Internet Modeling anymore, so Im glad this worked out.

youre receiving 35% and are on DP? That's impossible.

Easiest way to tell if youre in a virtual studio on Streamate - have you gotten any gold recently? What percent of that gold tip did you actually receive? Bc on DP for Streamate (and all virtual studios on streamate) your real percentage is immediately deducted. I mean calculate it on your own.

Or do you mean you're getting Weekly Pay from DailyPay bc I think that means youre earning.... what 33%?

Unless Im misunderstanding you, just FYI: you cant work on DP and sometimes get paid weekly, daily, monthly, or independent. It is an either or situation. You either can be in 1. DailyPay. 2. Or youre in Weekly Pay. 3. Or you work independently. You cant switch between all three.

Like I urged earlier, please read their FAQs carefully.

Or are you saying that in a few months you plan to go independent? Sorry I dont think Im understanding your comment.

If youre earning 35% youre independent and SM counted your French citizenship as a reason for you earn 35%. Which means youre not in a virtual studio and are completely independent. If you went from Internet Modeling into being 100% independent in under a month please tell us exactly what you did.

With DP i charge each week so with weekly pay,yes i woule like be independent in the future maybe in one year i dont know and charge every two weeks with SM,but if i do this in the future,i have to do it new profile?
I think in hungary is 35% , so i will make 33% with weeklypay ,send you what i maked from 5 gold

GOLD $5.00 N/A $1.65

Oh sorry about that - I get conflicting info on which countries in Eastern Europe the independent rate is 30% and which arent, ok, cool.

Yes, you would have to start your account over once going independent. Most people who do say it doesnt take long for your regulars to find you though.

Thank goodness for this thread. I was gonna sign up with pandora entertainment, but, luckily, a friend told me that everyone she knew used streamate, and googling eventually turned up this thread. So I'm putting it in very clearly that pandora entertainment is a studio, so that it shows up with google, and you probably shouldn't sign up with them

Hi Roast you know if is possible sign for AW with DP? Because as independent model im try to sign almost 1 month ....

Best to ask them - DP's website shows when applications for certain sites are open or closed. Since youre on DP Id strongly suggest you use their forum + website to stay up to date on what theyre offering. This isnt a DailyPay support thread - it is just about avoiding studios, so I dont know?

AW is very strict about new signups, esp from certain countries (The US included, they dont mess around). They want you to be very thorough when they ask for certain details and they have a lot of writing on their website so being very patient and reading through it will help speed up your application.

Ive noticed if you demonstrate that you didnt read through theiir FAQs or their requests theyll de-prioritize your application. So, just check everything really carefully to make sure you followed their instructions. If you didnt, resubmit your application in full. AW's customer service doesnt go out of their way to help, that's why their "Help" section is so detailed: they rexpect you to figure stuff out on your own. There is an Adultwork Thread (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?156654-The-AdultWork-Thread) - Id suggest posting there.

Strange and funny studio experience:

I signed up for Streamate through VividCams.com, not knowing that Streamate even existed, or that Vivid was a studio. I figured it out pretty quickly afterwards, but to start fresh I would have had to take a six-month hiatus after closing my original account, which I wasn't interested in doing. I've done very little camming in 2013 and just noticed today that Vivid shut down my account for me!!! Yes, a studio has independantly released me! I don't know when exactly it happened, but I'm not exactly itching to open a new SM account, so I'm not too concerned about dates. Most studios hold onto their girls with a death grip, apparently these guys don't want us if we're not making money lol.

I signed up directly thru the Streamate site, not knowing the percentage models make (until I got on here). After checking my pay, I noticed I was only getting 32%. I am in the US too. Contacted Streamate.. finally got an answer that I am under a studio. Guess they automatically put me under a studio to keep more :( So it appears that signing up directly on the sites does not guarantee getting full amount models should get by avoiding studios :(

Great Post! Also, here is the direct link to sign up with Flirt4free. I work on the site for quite some time and absolutely love it. Customers are much nicer, most VIP not some college students. And you can charge more anytime to control your income...I like that a lot. So here is the link to sign up:

Im sorry to hear that - how did they automatically put you under a studio though if you signed up directly, for the first time ever, and are in the US? Did you inquire further? Because you should be getting 35% if: 1. youve never signed up for streamate before via a studio (known or unbeknownst to you as a SM studio). 2. Are in the US and have documents to demonstrate that.

They should tell you who is your studio. If that studio looks completely unfamiliar to you - ask the studio when you signed up through them. SM should not be automatically placing independent performers (in SM preferred geographic locations) in studios. Honestly Id guess you once accidentally signed up for a studio of Streamate unaware of what it was exactly - unfortunately that is how many people later discover theyre stuck in one. If youre up for it, let us know though.

I wish I knew how they put me under a studio. I am in the US. Applied and Did everything directly from the Streamate site. Afterward the sent email that said to make more $$ to use the link cammodels.com
I saw a lot of other girls on Twitter with that link so did not think anything about it. I did not know we were supposed to get 35% until I got on here. I messaged SM multiple times before getting the answer that I was in a studio.:( it was my first sign up except for Score several yrs ago which I could not figure out and never got online there.

Ask SM what studio it is and then ask the studio when you applied. If the studio cannot produce that information, forward and screenshot them the response from the studio and ask SM to be released. You have options. Unless ive missed a huge development - SM can't just assign you to a studio, it is huge news if SM is now reducing independent model payout by 3% and assigning models into studios, so be proactive and find out what is going on. There is supposed to be an administrative track record locking you into this studio, and you are well within your rights to find out who you're paying this 3% to, so definitely find out.

Also being in the US and demonstrating you're in the US aren't the same thing bureaucratically. There was a snafu with SM giving an Eastern European national who lives in Canada being given 30% bc her ID was from her birth country and whoever processed her application missed she was physically receiving checks in Canada. So if you have a similar issue, push back.

Cammodels.com is a referral program for performers. You sure you don't mean any other spelling of cammodels.com? To echo some of the advice in this thread: Signing up via twitter links isn't signing up directly. Don't follow links on twitter as signup links or respond to ads that use a lot of $$$$ signs. Twitter is just a promotional tool, not an informational one. A lot of studios recruit via twitter and shield what they are. Honestly if you signed up for Streamate via links on twitter, I think you signed up -albeit unintentionally- for a studio. Streamate isn't just assigning people to studios and reducing the model payout rate <----- I'm typing that out in case people get confused. However, find out what exactly happened.



Tldr - ask more questions until the answer actually makes sense. You're allowed to, you don't have to just wish for it to make sense. That's your 3%, find out where it is.

These are the messages I received in response to my inquiries.. I am US citizen, based in US and signed up from "streamatemodels.com"

"The payout of 32% for your account is accurate since your account is part of a studio, regardless of what you think. The account, from the day it was created, has been under the SG Modeling studio. This studio operates slightly differently in that you are still paid directly by Streamate but the fact remains the account is part of this studio and the 32% payout is correct.

Since the details of your account have been the same since it was created we do not have any additional information to provide on this.

Streamate Performer Support"


"Thanks for your message.

You did not sign up with Streamate directly. You signed up through a referral agency. While we are unable to change your standard percentage, you can boost the percentage you bring in from what you bill using the Cammodels program.

Cammodels is a program that allows performers promote themselves and the site to NEW members and earn more money.

How it works is, each performer has a Cammodels bio page - http://screenname.cammodels.com (NO WWW NEEDED).

Performers can send this page to fans of theirs or potential new members. When people join using the Cammodels link, the performer earns extra money for chats with that member. Performers who bring on a NEW customer through their Cammodels link earn an additional 40% every time that member chats with them. And will also earn an additional 20% when they chat with anyone else.

Cammodels links are only for potential NEW MEMBERS. The link is not to be used ANYWHERE on Streamate or to existing members. This program is for external promotion only.

Enjoy Cammodels!"

I'm sorry to hear that you're now locked into a studio but you said upthread you signed up for SM via links on twitter/cammodels.com but now are saying you used the direct signup link? If you signed up for streamate via a white label (cammodel.com, cammodels.com are white labels) and not the direct sgnup link, youll most likely end up in a studio. if streamate received your application via any other method except the direct signup link then you'll be in a studio. If you sign up directly you won't be in a studio. My questions are me just trying to ensure that people understand the original advice of this thread is still valid on how to avoid studios as you weren't arbitrarily placed in one. I'm sorry this happened, unfortunately this is how many people find out they're accidentally signed up for one,

They're saying here you're in SG modeling and cammodels.com, I could've sworn SG modeling was just MFC but they may have expanded. You may want to google around for info on SG modeling (I see a few amber cutie forum posts about them, all from people surprised theyre in their studio). Unfortunately I think you may be stuck earning 32%, you can try contacting SG modeling to see under what conditions they'll release you, worth a shot. Unfortunately that's the best I can come up with. Good luck.

Whoa.... you know hwo can probably just give you a "yes" or "no"? Vanessa who is the independent model recruiter for Streamate as she can only work with independent models. Perhaps email her and say youre getting conflicting reports on whether or not youre in a studio on Streamate (and perhaps forward her the emails youre receiving) --- and ask what is going on: modelinquiry at adultwebcammodel dot com . She isnt customer service for Streamate, she can just let you know what her end of the records say? If she says youre not in a studio, definitely make sure your earnings from now on are 35%.... and if SM messed up on their end... I mean it is up to you and I know others have asked but been told it is out of their hands but I know Id be asking about retroactive pay for the 3% lost up until now if it was just an administrative error? (note: Ask SM customer service about this, unfortunately I dont think Vanessa can do anything about that). If you keep getting conflicting reports, people have posted about getting support from liz at streamate dot com for more advanced customer service issues, which "yes youre in a studio for life" "oh no youre not" "well maybe" is definitely one of them since it is impacting your pay by 3%.

If youre still making 32% and the say youre independent .... wow. My opinion is dont give up. Seriously? 32% is better than 0%, sure, but youre supposed to be making 35%. That means the 3% is going somewhere to someone that you havent authorized. If youre over this whole process, I can understand why and that is truly your own perspective/discretion on what you need to invest time in, but if they said youre not in a studioand they know youre in the US, you are supposed to be making 35%. If you gross $1500 a week (for example) on SM that is the difference between $525 and $480, Im a miser but that is not an insignificant amount of money, you know what I mean? I also dont want them to randomly suspend your account or something but - idk, man, this is fucked up and Im sorry, I dont what the right answer is for what your resources/time/expectations.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

As an individual performer, you are able to determine your own per minute pricing between .99 and 4.99/min. You earn 35% of what you bill.

Hope this helps! Let me know if we can be of any further assistance.

Do you think if I emailed this to them it would make any difference?

Avoid TouchMeTeaseMe.com like the plague because of a few factors: (I used to be apart of their manager internship program before they axed the program last year. I wanted to learn how to run a physical studio. I spend three months interning for them before leaving because it was too much lying to the models for me and not what I sign up for. Plus they lied about making some money while being a intern :))

These are things that they were doing when I was there last year:

1. Too much personal attention: We will tell you that they would like to craft your image into barbie and Ken Dolls.

2. Call you everyday: Ugh!

3. Once they contact the models and put them through training such as what type of sex toys to use...then they start leaving you high and dry.

4. They want you to pay 150 dollars upfront or when you receive your first check.

5. Want you to take very glossy photos and to pay for them.

6. Promise you will become an Icon in the Cam Modeling world:)

7. Telling each girl that she might become the next Vanessa Del Rio, Jenna Jameson, or Jenna Haze of the Cam World.

Not to many people fell for this but they were trying to get models from Asia, Eastern Europe, and the American ghettos more. Plus people from Latin America but they will never translate papers for them nor did they have translators for many of the Asian models who did not understand English well.

I think you should try whatever you can to restore your original percentage - honestly Ive never read about this happening before so I dont have any specific advice to crack the code except just insist on getting an answer that makes sense for you from every and anyone.. My opinion is one that puts your % to where it shouldve been originally.

Sometimes you have to beat support over the head to get them to actually read your message.

Reply to that message about the "earn 35%" but attach a screenshot of your page where it shows your earnings. Tell them to do the math and explain to you why you are not getting the 35% that they promise.

You may have to keep at it and maybe even type in ALL CAPS to DO THE MATH and ask them what is going on and why they are not giving you 35%.

Maybe take one particular session as an example, write it out as an equation with a viewer screen-name and the minutes he was in, how much they paid you and show that there is 3% missing and ask them where it's going!

It takes a lot to get their attention sometimes unfortunately and you may have to email them screenshots and proof over and over until you happen to get someone who actually will read it.

Stay away from studios. the one I worked with in Vegas only gave 18% and I recently found out from another girl that they took more so I made less then 18. Once you work with them they say 6 monthes till you can work for the site under a new name but he still has a give and has had me suspended from my new account. Beware are of studios. I was always on the 1st page 2nd to 3rd row now with the new name and having to block a state I am in back pages. Determined to get back to first page:)

Wow! Kind of conflicted here because I'm not sure if this would be a SM thread topic or basically to avoid studios?! (Please don't shoot me!!!!!!!)
YES...I own up to it! I was naive and joined a studio. I did it out of not having the proper equipment at home, and also a way to keep work and home separate since I do have a child. Only AFTER I gave my ID and info was I told that the studio ran thru SM and I wasn't told much else. No site rules explained, no pay rate discussed, nothing. Again, maybe naive on my part, probably a lot naive on my part.

The studio I work for requires a schedule each week, that you work a required number of hours each week, and you're FINED for just about anything and everything. If you're late, it's a fine. If you have to leave early, it's a fine. If by chance you don't make your required hours, you're fined. If you call off it's a fine. I had a doctor's note for leaving early one day and I was told either I make up the hours or I would be fined. It's getting ridiculous. There's girls that do show up to log in on time and many times we can't get a room to work in because someone has stayed over from another shift and refuse to leave.
On top of it it's extremely catty. Managers treat you like crap, and it's acceptable for girls to bully you.

I'm prepared to go out and actually rent equipment so I can strike out on my own, but I do enjoy SM and my regular customers. Is there ANY way SM will let me go from studio to home? I know girls that do work at home, but they won't let them out of the studio contract. IMO if I'm working from home I shouldn't have to pay out that extra percentage just to stay with SM.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!

PS...and again YES I was naive!

If you're in Eastern Europe (which this sounds like), you're pretty much S.O.L. Likely you're locked into a crappy contract flagged in SM's system for a 6 or 12 month lockout. From what I understand, you also can't join as an independent model from certain countries and this includes most of Eastern Europe.

IMLive is the only site that lets American and Eastern Europe models mix in the studios. Streamate won't let me recruit models from non-Western countries at all. I don't know about MFC or Chaturbate yet, but I'll try a test case and see what happens.

Okay so I screwed up by not doing extensive research, can we say I was desperate and overwhelmed by bills? I cammed back in 2009 then took a break after school was done. I went back in 11/2013 because I went back to school and needed extra money for bills. Now I am being stalked online by some scumbag agency Happycammodels.com who won't leave me alone because I terminated the contract due to him violating chaturbate.com policies and skype policies. I asked for 50% because I saw him doing this or I will terminate the contract due to being misled by him (thinking he was legit). Now he is emailing chaturbate.com to get me terminated or under his account so he can start taking 80% of my pay again like he was on streammatemodels.com.

I consulted a lawyer on justanswer.com and he said it is a servitude situation and courts will not enforce it or if he did file a claim against me (im from another state) he would have a very weak claim.

I have informed this person if he contacts me again and it is not his lawyer I will contact law enforcement. This did not scare him off and he continues to email me and threatens to sue me to enforce his contract. A copy of it can be found on happycammodels.com under "forums". I left streammatemodels.com and terminated with him on 01/21/2014 and now he is trying to bind me till 01/21/2016. It is load of crap and I want to know what I can do to get rid of him or go somewhere else he won't bother me.

I am waiting for chaturbate to contact me back because they asked him to see a copy of the signed agreement. I can't believe Chaturbate.com would even entertain the idea. I told them I will leave and no one will get any money off of me then.

Am I screwed or what?

I am new here and I was refereed by London Jones, who will be doing a writeup on this outstanding agency.

Alyssia, I was wondering about Peach Palace since it is a physical studio instead of virtual studio. Is a physical studio better than a virtual studio?

No physical studios are bad virtual are better. Peach palace I only made 18% and they had late fees and all kinds of fees

This thread is only about virtual studios - Ive heard that physical ones are very difficult to leave and strictly adhere to the 6-12month "expiration" timeline of contracts and these timelines are especially strict if youre from certain areas of the world.

Also want to add when you join a physical studio you are usually required to sign up for their virtual studio as well (so that payments can be reliably extracted), and that memberships tends to carry over if you start to work from home.

As time goes on the reliable options for how to leave studios have expired -it seems like other options are emerging but they havent been around long enough to attest to their reliability and consistency. So my role at least in these threads are more prevention at this time.

I think it is great youre consulting an attorney, that's awesome - more people in the industry should do exactly that. Theyll be able to give better answers on what your options are and how to proceed.

Thank you, Roast, I had no idea that physical studio were like that :( Yikes!!! I thought only the virtual studio was the major problem.

^Well idk much if anything about physical studios - opinions are divided here from what Ive seen from people who have worked in, worked for, or even operate them. Theyre also more of a need than virtual studios in my opinion (some reasons discussed here: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?173972-Excuse-my-ignorance) but the line gets blurry if you join one without a pre-existing model account. Really I like this breakdown of why virtual ones should be avoided (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?176768-Reasons-why-you-should-NOT-work-for-a-virtual-studio) but physical ones have always struck me as a grey area that Im pretty ignorant on so I try not to comment on them, especially as i get why a lot of people join them (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?173972-Excuse-my-ignorance&p=2353255&viewfull=1#post2353255) --- but I do know many do require you sign up for the site through them more for practical reasons; so they can (reliably) get the fees they charge for use of their space?

Hello girls . I joined this forum yesterday and im so sad i didnt find it earlier. Even though i made a little reasearch i signed for a virtual studio. Yeah im one of those girls too. Dont get me wrong im ok with it i knew from the very beginning that the studio receives 35% of what i make but as med student who was on a cross road between quiting school and staying in school it was something. The thing is that the polite owner told me that if i sign up by myself i would get banned or delete after awhile because cam sited doesnt profit as much from independent models as from studios (because studios pay monthly fees ftw) . Im working on cam4 only which according to him was the most profitable camsite. Should i tell him to delete my account and if i do so am i going to be allowed on the site anymore?

Tell him to delete it. Make a new name and go to a different site. Myfreecams.com or chaturbate.com have worked the best for me and pay half. Forget studios!!! Stupid money hungry jerks!
