^^^ I cosign with what tropo says, they pay me 30% as well from day one, i signed up directly with them on the main site, the issue is we are out of the 'western zone' but even so what they do is discriminatory, there is no other site paying models percentage according to 'location' but SM. I am for four years on site. It's frustrating.
Edited to add: also for about 2.5 years since my inception with SM site they deducted $5 from each pay check, i dont know why, it simply happened, i was thinking it's normal & it has to do with how site operates but then i found SW & when asked here about it nobody else answered that they had that $5 taken away their pay check.
At a point 1.5 years ago they stopped taking that $5 & i got paid my full earned amount. Cant figure out why they did this, i ask again, is happening to anyone else, especially non-western camgirls? If i calculate $5 multiplied by how many pay checks i got in 2.5 years working constantly and making payout almost every week i'll come to a nice sum. I will calculate just out of curiosity but my question is Why?! Why only 30%, why u SM deducted $5 from every pay check u sent me? Guess i will never know the answer :(
Do you get paid payoneer? There is a $5 loading fee for immediate load. That's the only thing I could think of when I think of a $5 deduction, but that comes from the Payoneer side, not SM themselves.

I get so annoyed when customers are offended when I don't remember everything about them based on their username alone.
I think it's ridiculous when MFC members go and change their screen names for whatever reason, and then get pissed at the model for not knowing who they are. Not only did this happen with me, but the guy actually got furious with me about it to the point where he was harassing me and sending nasty MFC Mails. WTF is wrong with people? I wonder how many other models he did that with. All because of a stupid name change. Lmao. Can you imagine what he's like in relationships? Yikes.

^^^ Ty, NO, the $5 Payoneer fee is separate & i am aware of it as i choose immediate load since i use their service, the $5 was deducted directly from my SM earnings even when they sent me checks at the beginning or when i got paid thru Epassporte when that service was still on the market.
Go figure, i calculated, in 2.5 years they deducted approx $650 & i dont know what for. Guess they wanted to have a 'reserve' cause of the country i come from in EE? Just in case i was going to have 'fraudulent activities' same like Cam4 site claimed i was doing on their site? When i was actually never working cam4 site!? Do u see the discrimination too?! HA!

yea that's about the sentiment i get ..lol.. everytime i am sick or injured and I cam, I feel like a wounded bird and the vultures picking at my lifeless body...LOL... yea this is why i am good at roleplay. such the imagination i have.. but yea.. for instance, I am not able to perform all my cam duties so i have had at LEAST 5 "1" star ratings this week!! ..that's why you hear me say i hate these fucking assholes , cold and heartless, soul less creatures.
A long time ago during a private show I somehow cut my foot on something sharp under my bed, and my foot was bleeding. I blurted out "Shit, my foot's bleeding!," and this dude just continued sitting there jerking his dick on cam. When he was finished, he didn't even ask if I was okay or anything. I guess all that guy cared about was busting a nut...

Don't forget to try other sites like Clips4Sale, Kinkbomb, Pics4Sale, ManyVids, Customs4U, etc. There are also phone sex sites like NiteFlirt, Keen, TalkToMe, etc. It helps if you have other sites to fill the money gap when the cam sites are slow. There's a thread on here that lists a lot of sites to try out.

I believe they used to charge for an actual paper check to be mailed out. Someone mentioned it covered postage or something similar. I don't know if they still do that or not. If it was sent by Payoneer or another similar company I would ask them what the charge was for. It could have been an error and I would also fight for your other 5 percent. Not living in North American doesn't mean you ladies should make only 30 percent. That is 100 percent wrong.

I would keep asking them to raise the rate and I would also want an answer as to why you only get 30 percent. 35 percent should be across the board and not based on where you live. If they tried that for US and Canadian performers all hell would break loose.
^^ I knew when I signed up my rate would only be 30%. I did sign up directly with SM on their main site. I also knew that many models are getting 35%. When I signed up I had no idea if I could make any money. I was not really excited about the prospect of working for a lousy 30%, but after working there for 3 months it's proving to be a reasonable earn for me even at 30%... which got me to thinking, at my current earn the 5% would be an extra $100 - $125 per month, which is nothing to sneeze at. That would pay my internet bill with change.
I've emailed customer support. Maybe they'll revise my rate after seeing that I'm a serious model. You never know unless you ask. They seem to do everything in a discriminatory fashion, so it's worth a try.

^I asked them like three times why I get only 30% and I get the same answer over an over, that i will get a 30% of my total earnings. I just let it go...I might ask again just in case, but I don´t think I´ll get a different answer or the other 5%. I live in western europe by the way, and I know that british girls gets 35% too, so I don´t know what determine percentages. I think I can recall that I read somewhere that it might be because some countries have highest risk of fraud or something.

everytime i have a good day/week i am so happy and i love my job. then i have a REALLY bad day or a few bad days in a row and I just feel so depressed. i feel like im never going to make a good average wage. i really want to earn £14000 at least this year. i find myself constantly doing sums to figure out how much i need to earn per month/week/day and it goes really well for a few days and then it goes SHIT. Its really starting to annoy me. so much in fact that i just found myself looking at a vanilla job site for jobs in my area. safe to say NONE of them were worth applying for. but i did see a few that were more than what i make per hour (although they required previous experience which i dont have) and it made me angry that my average earnings for ADULT industry were practically the same as some douche bag selling insurance down the phone. I feel like when i first hit up on camming 3 years ago, I made so much more. i could log in for 2 hours and leave with £200. nowaways I'm doing 7 hour days for £11 (today anyway). MOST days i take home £50-£70 and i just feel it's not enough for what I do. i feel like us cam performers are underpaid. i feel like sites paying us 35% is a serious CRIME. When I look at my takings of £50 and I realise that actually made £80 but adultwork took £30 off me it makes me so mad. because i need that money. i used my mind and my body and entertained some perverted fucking arsehole for that money. i spent 8 hours infront of a camera infront of blinding/hot lights, in uncomfortable positions, with a face full of makeup that was not nice to wear, a wig that hurts my head and armpits that smell like cowshit. and i walked away with the same wage that you can get for selling insurance down the phone????? i feel ripped off. ripped off because i'm sick of these low percentages. but every time i look for new websites, the % is just gets lower and lower, or the traffic is dead on high paying sites. also the indie sites requires more effort and mostly bad traffic also. i just feel like depressed right now because for what i do i feel i should see more cash in my bank. also my rates aren't low or high, they are medium but i can't justify working for pennys so theres no way i'd go lower. because at the end of the day u only have so much time in 1 day to be online and if for example u set it so u take home only £0.50 a minute, if u can only work 8 hours that is a MAX of £240 a day. BUT you can be sure that even though u sat there for the entire 8 hours, that only 1 hours worth of paid chat actually occured, and then u take home £30. so u have to be careful setting it so low. because then u have FUCKED yourself. especially if u r on some shit site like IMLIVE where they take 70% of your cash and stick it up their fucking arseholes whilst they spend the other £10000000 they make a day on fancy cars and new houses.
tldr: percentages models get is TOO DAMN LOW.

Don't fret, bb! My C4S store sucked the big one til I started doing daily or two/day updates. Once I did that I was pretty much guaranteed 2+ sales a day every day :) try updating once in the morning and once in the evening if you're looking for really great exposure, or even more than twice a day if you have time to record many clips :)

I was there when they said we are now going to start paying you less.. I was new in the industry and was like what the?.. however this is futile argument. The REAL argument lies in why do these cam customers think we are not worth being paid for?? why are they entitled to cheap shows or freebies?.. the percentage of any cam site is not the problem at all.. I work on plenty cam sites that pay more, but I will wait for show for days, if not weeks and not $1 passes my lips. That's not the problem.. Sure would be nice if they didn't take so much but that is not the problem.

I totally get that. I work adultwork which is 60% my cut and I feel like after a show.. wow..

I just talked to that douchebag for 30minutes and all I got was £8. and that makes it so that u are limited per hour as to your maximum profits. and if you need to make £70 in that 1 day and only have a few hours to cam, then the 30% is practically make me want to kick some ones ass, because it makes me stressssssed. that is why i moan. also i love moaning. when i moan i feel better. i feel like all the shit that annoys me, floats out of my finger tips and into the screen, and a magic fairy inside my computer comes and sprinkles anti-bullshit dust all over it and the sun rises inside a fluffy bunny somewhere and we all go and dance the hula and drink cocktails and be happier camwhores.

I understand some countries have a higher risk of fraudulent transactions, but it doesn't give them the right to pay girls from those countries less money. The 5 % can be kept in a reserve for some time, and if nothing wrong occurs, to be paid to the model later. Seems like pretty much everyone who is outside of English-speaking countries only gets paid 30 %.

^^^ On Sm, how is that even a problem where I as a model come from? The issue would be where the members come from right? Members could have fraudulent activities on site not me. If u thinking about 'yes but models working with the bad guys with the purpose to rip off site, etc' ... just so u know SM dont even allow memberships from this part of the world, i mean they only accept memberships from western countries most times and simply deny anyone else. So the conspiracy theory has no sense because WE models are not a risk for SM, they protect themselves well, the members in general are the risk if so & our co-nationals CANT be members on SM. Does that make any sense? Hope u get me ;)

Let's just say i earn less but i keep everything, it balances ;)
The brits & western european models loose on the exchange rate as SM pays in US dollars so the money are worth less in these countries, in my country the money are worth more actually, yet. Not sure about Australia, Canada with the exchange rates. At the end i think we come to a balance all together, i know cause i am also an accountant ;)

This is crazy is it? I am sorry, i have the same issue, got an electronic glass & metal scale that was not cheap at all & it gives me errors, if i weight myself on the thin carpet it shows something, if i go in kitchen, bathroom, corridor where i have ceramic plates on the floor it shows all different numbers & is a difference of 10, 8, 5 etc kilos not just a little difference.
Then at a certain point is shows the weight in pounds, stones, so on & the only way to get it back at kilos is to take battery off & put it back on. What a nightmare! Weighted my mom and son on it too with same errors. Not to be trusted cause when i visited my doc my weight was different (few more kilos than my scale showed) and she said her scale is perfect, she got that big precise mechanic scale type. Uff!

Gift card money is nice because I use it to re-sell items from eBay & Amazon. However, I end up taking up to a 60% loss because:
I have to find items worth reselling,
it takes time and energy,
and I loose money on shipping fees.
I understand that my clients are worried about getting caught and want something like "eBay" on their credit statements. I still get frustrated because it doesn't pay my bills like paying via a perfectly viable independent payment processor. I end up making like $300 a week from giftcards, and I really would prefer real money instead. However, with the current market these guys will just find someone else to take their money. It's either $20 via giftcard or nothing at all.

Today has been the best day of almost 2 weeks. 1700 tokens total. I'm actually greatful since I've even had days with zero tokens...
But today a reg saved me (some how, many of them haven't even visited me in a long time). I also had a countdown (2000 tokens), and
obviously, my reg helped me a lot (but he had to go after that). So, with only 300 left for a show, you would think I was gonna reach my goal. But no. I was struggeling and struggeling,
and I only got like 60 tokens, so it was then only 250 tokens left. Nope, not even then.
I had 82 viewers, most of them premiums, and everybody was cheap assholes, just starring and no talking. Many guys actually had
500 + tokens, and they didn't spend a dime on me! What are they doing in my room if they don't want to catch the show and tip in?
I also had to force them to speak, cuz it was really annoying lying there teasing, with no one saying a word. Yeah, after a while I had enough and called them rude,
and then cancelled my show.
Really though, it IS rude when they're not talking to you, and not even respond to your questions.
Do they think that I have all the responsibility to make everything fun in my room? If I'm gonna entertain, they sure should talk and laugh with me!
Or better yet, TIP so the show can start!
I don't really care if they thought of me as a sourpuss or bitch after this day. I'm just really sick of the dead-ness...
As you would know, since i'm here everyday nagging about it ;)

Okay Streamate, if you can't bring me some traffic to work with, even being on the front page, then how do you suppose I'm supposed to make you any money? It's dead dead dead this afternoon. Sitting in a room with a straggler passing by every now and again just isn't gonna cut it...I can only do so much with the meager traffic you give me. I give up.

I want to vent about how I can't seem to get those little "my moods" on the side under our thanks that some girls have. I would like to do that, how does one get that?

^^ Agreed! I had the same old non-paying screen names in my room today. Had to finally do a couple of gold shows to make something. No surprise, because my good paying custies are never on at this time of day anyway. Just the cheap guys who probably don't have jobs. Shame, because I would really love to cam in the daytime. Oh, well.

I have been busy with other things, so I havent cammed in like 10 days. I HATE coming back after time off. :-/
On top of that , a lot of cheap FUCKS (sorry) are coming at me. Cheap customers make me so sick. If I can't afford a store, I just don't even go in. I don't walk in Chanel & ask for a discount. I wait until I have 6k for the purse, and go buy it like everyone else with 6k. IDK why guys think this is ok!
Its NOT a flea market. You pay for what you get. Go find a $1 camgirl!!!!!
Just started my shift, so hopefully it will get better. That or I will need wine before this is over. lol
So funny, my partner always uses that same reference (Chanel store), when I vent towards him about the beggers inside freechat
