yea yesterday I left with a total of $46 bucks in almost 5 hours.. bloody hell.. it just doesn't make sense how you can stream on a bunch of sites and have other NON free chat sites going and only make that much?? that has NEVER made sense to me in 12 yrs.
absolutely DEAD Today and yesterday. splitting 4 sites. made about $15 in 7 hours today and about $65 yesterday in 8 hours. pathetic.

I'm just hoping people will stop replying to them and maybe they'll stop. No replies = they fall off the front page.

Omg, I know! There are people on here starting new threads every time a camming-related thought enters their head. I feel like SoloDesire's got the right idea about how we should just stop replying to their threads. Then maybe...just maybe...it'll sink in that they need to do a little research on their own.

At first I thought something was wrong with my cam or browser or "me"but I guess everyone is having a hard time on streammate , like I dramatically went from 100$ an hour to 10 lol but ladies push through remember keep a smile on your face and be positive in conversations maybe someone will private or exclusive you for a good amount of time, lol but gold shows are super hard to get I wouldn't try them unless 20 or 30 people are in my room Good Luck!

I am so bummed! I waited 6 months for my studio non-compete contract to end (from when I couldnt cam at my own home so I was actually working at a physical studio) and Now that I can finally work streamate at home, I cant even download the damn encoder. I already knew my CPU was probably not up to par, but I at least wanted to download the medium quality version and try it out for myself. My laptop has a virus and wont even download it. It actaully downloads other garbage instead such as PC Cleaner and PennyBee whatever that is. My computer runs just fine when I am caming but when I am surfing the web I get a ridiculous amount of pop ups. Oh well, it was about time for a new computer anyways. Think Im gonna switch to an IMAC desktop for Streamate, get me an I7. Meanwhile Im gonna have to suck it up and cam without the damn encoder. Im worried about my placement. Hopefully it wont be too bad without it. I work other sites and have other income, BUT man I miss making streamate $, I always did the best on that site and I dont think it will be the same without the HD icon aka the encoder.
Sorry, End of Rant.
Update:
Well after several hours/days of trying, it appears my laptop is so fucked up it wont even allow me to broadcast on SM! I get all these weird error codes. Also, all my cam sites I work on always asks permission to access my camera and microphone, and when I try to stream on SM, other random programs are asking permission to use them instead.
I can now only broadcast on MFC and Peeks without any issues until I get a new computer. Probably because I already had those programs downloaded.

Had to take a three days off for a really terrible shark week, now i'm trying to make some money and camredeem is not working and so i can't sell vids on MFC (which limits my sale and prize wheel options) and i'm just way frustrated and needing to make money tonight.

Ahhh the end of my "new model status" on MFC. FUCK. This is terrible! I tried to do a fun balloon show today..blew up at least 40 balloons with no pump! By the time I got on mfc I was out of breath and trying to keep a smile on my face despite the lack of oxygen my brain was getting...only to be greeted by the drop in traffic after losing "new model status" called it quits after an hour and 30 tokens later :( I'm really starting to get over the amount of free loaders on MFC...I haven't been tricked in anyway, shape or form but I'm getting over the amount of beggars I seem to get. I'm also on SM and I seem to have better luck on that site. This is probably a dumb question but is "split camming" when you can on 2 sites at once?

PMSing, crying, and have a headache. I have to jump through all these hoops before I can even start at the job I chose (now I'm wondering if I made the right choice...I already called the other place and politely declined their offer). I have to pay $45 to get fingerprinted (don't have money for that right now, and I have enough overdue bills as it is...wonderful), I have to get a physical done, and have to go through a week of training at some location that's out of the way for me, so I'll have to get a ride there with someone. So frustrating! Oh, and eventually after I've started working there, I'm required to get certification (classes either in person or online) which the company DOES NOT pay for...I'd have to pay for that out of my own pocket.

I remember having to do all of that stuff too. Working with kids is a headache when it comes to state requirements and such. I've never had to pay for my own certifications though...those were always provided through the company/school. We had to do that every year and get CPR certified every couple of years as well. I hope it all works out for you <3

To keep things in perspective, it's the customers !!! Keep in mind that, in the last week ...
- credit card bills with summer vacation charges are starting to show up in customer mailboxes,
- tuition bills, school supplies, etc. have just hit the pockets of customers who are students themselves or who have school age children
- stock, bond, and commodity markets have all taken a downward turn, 'costing' customers with investments and retirement accounts a whole lot of money
- with the 'vacation' season over for northern hemisphere customers, lots of employers are now requiring employees to devote more hours, effort and attention to their work to 'catch up' on things which were neglected over the summer
- with snow actually falling in some areas already, some northern hemisphere customers are undoubtedly being reminded that heating bills are just around the corner.
In the final analysis, paid webcam is a non-essential 'luxury' expense for customers. Some can easily afford that 'luxury' expense, but others cannot.

If this was on MyFreeCams, you should block model accounts from your room. Next time something like that happens, take a screenshot of what they post in your chat (unless she's just PMing members behind your back) to send to Admin, and then ban that loser from your room.
Sorry you had to go through that, but don't be hard on yourself. Camming has been such a pain lately. And I think I'll be closing my Twitter account this month, since I feel that having it is just not benefitting me at all.

Thank you. I just paid my Sprint bill which was overdue, I'm overdue on the Tae Kwon Do bill, and I'm overdue on a payment to Old Navy (cuz of that stupid Old Navy Visa card I had years ago). Oh yeah, and I owe Massage Envy too because my dumb ass signed up for their bullshit membership, which is a one-year contract. :banghead:

Yuckola.. Yea when I first started camming I had this guy who would fuck himself with a carrot and then smear it all over his body and even eat it.. I didn't care what show they wanted.. I was like you .. money is money.. now it just turns my stomach I can't deal with it... If anything makes me upset or angry or uncomfortable I get rid of them.. there is just no need to feel that way just because someone is paying you..that's how I feel these days.

IMO, the only thing that is making camming more difficult is the large numbers of models online.
If there were only 10, or even one hundred, nobody would be complaining that camming sucks.
I, like most girls, can't help but check to see how many girls are on each time I'm logging in.
It seems that no matter what time of day/night it is, there are at least 1400, plus models on at once.
It's now just a matter of 'supply and demand'.
I proved that concept in my own mind, by noticing the night, a few weeks ago, when only 1000 models were on. It was like 'Shooting fish in a barrel'. Just saying.

Streamate's always had that many performers on, I think the site is dead because they lowered their standards. People were willing to pay before they allowed nudity in free chat and Gold shows. Hell people paid $10 for short Gold shows. When they changed the site they changed their customer base. If you look at traffic over the last couple of years it's dropped by over half. Many good customers left and freeloaders took their place.

You can do phone sex (this thread is pretty long as well) The Niteflirt Thread (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?186291-The-Niteflirt-Thread)
You can do work at home jobs I think @TheBrownFox and @JaneBurgess talked about a few a couple of pages back. There's also a few threads on here about non-sex work at home jobs.
