some of my guys are about to get blocked if they don't stop asking me to get on for them and never show. Stop making me put on makeup and shit when I could be watching Westworld. Disrespectful!

She could always put the camera on her tits. That's what I do when I don't feel like showing my face.
@Vicotria that's when preset messages come in handy. Spam their asses while you beat your face. Also OMG I love Westworld. When I first saw the preview I was like I am soooooo watching that. I waited like a kid waiting to open their Christmas present for it to premiere. I love creative shows especially sci fi/fantasy.

I need to start a WW thread so I don't take this one off topic too much. I am obsessed with this show and all the theories. Total fan girl. Well I got another message today from a guy who supposedly wants another show with me...so I will try spamming his ass while I get ready. lol! It's kind of good and bad, because I'm really lazy about getting on and even if they don't show up I usually make SOMETHING but not as much as I'm expecting.

Yes they are that petty. I've fallen for this a few times in the past. Now I refuse to do it. And you can call them out but they will never admit it. Well maybe the dumb ones will. Sometimes they may hit you up on skype asking you to log in and then enter your room just to chitchat. I've had that happen too. When I asked when he was gonna click the button he just said Aww thanks baby I just wanted to see your face before I went to work. BLOCKED

Well it's been 2 days now that I have made $0.00 on SM.. My entire check is $0.00 so far despite I have worked almost 10 hours or so on there.. I have made NOTHING not even referral commission.. thanks for the other 9 cam sites so I can at least make SOMETHING!
This is seriously disconcerting.. I worked almost 5 hours today on SM and made $0.00 ...I think something is wrong.. this is not like me.
I decided to log out now because I am getting really depressed.

I Do not know whats going on lately. people are joining my private show on AW and after 0:06 seconds they leave without saying something. other times they will type something like "wow, ur hot babe" and then leave a split second after, amounting to around 0:12 seconds of showtime. This is happening for a few weeks now. It will be like 6 guys in a row in the space of half an hour that does this. Then nothing for another half hour, then a normal 7minute-ish show will happen. I don't know why it is always 0:06 seconds and 0:12 seconds exactly everytime. It sucks.
sometimes they will ask something right at the start, like "hey, do you have stockings?" and then BAM gone -> 0:12 seconds lasted, didn't even wait for a reply from me. I think it's the website is broken but I guess I won't ever know because the customers never come back and tell me, or email. If not, then I just really ugly.
I used to make on average £70 a day for 4 hours shift with no free chat. Now I am making like £70 a week and putting in more hours. I don't get it.
That has been happening to me the last 4 months, exactly the way u explained. 0.06 secs and the guys get booted, from 700 a week, im barely making 100 and i dont do free chat at all, ever.
I get guys asking things and then being kicked off and all my emails to support come back with: upgrade ur cam or lap, ahan, right...they never have issues, only cam girls do. Ive spoke to other girls who used to make very good on aw, some of them bailed on aw due to this exact same complaint u are making. Really, im focusing on indy now but it was nice to make decent money on aw, nowadays, forget it. xx

hi
im totally depressed. I have made on sm 0 dollars today. Yesterday 24 dollars. If it will keep going like this im forced to think about diffrent source of income cause its the only one.But it will be painful...
i was using another website but i made only 13 euros. And my CPE was too high because i had 2 cameras connected to 1 computer. I have a question to Blovely. How do you split the cam vision beetwen applications? Which program do you use? i was looking today but i found only splitcam.

Since the only way to split with the SMB is by using 2 camera's, I prefer to use the FMLE so that I can use split software. I use the FLME with Manycam. Verysoft is the suggested split software to use and is honestly better than Manycam. I use Manycam for one computer and Verysoft for the other. The only reason I use Manycam on my other computer is because of the watermark I use but I prefer Verysoft. Manycam is very bloated so it take alot of cpu% and it slightly degrades the quality of your cam. Verysoft is way less taxing on your pc and it provides way better quality. Hyori made a great tutorial for VS.... How to splitcam with Verysoft Webcamsplitter 2016 (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?208261-How-to-splitcam-with-Verysoft-Webcamsplitter-2016).

I am on the front page and been on there since 2009 for god's sakes.. this is what I hate about camming.. it doesn't matter how long or how much experience you have .. doesn't mean you make more money like in the real world!.. grrrrr

Must be a glitch as I'm getting it too. They'll ask a question and before I can even answer... .gone! This has only been happening recently. I guess we'll all have to contact support to get this fixed :/

I'm stuck with my old laptop for a few days. Cam quality is ok (I got a few longish shows yesterday so it can't be TOO horrible) but today has been so slow and guys have been commenting on the audio delay...It's really depressing. Two and a half hours of crickets and complaints, but I don't have an other option currently. I suppose not getting into a shit mood and positive vibes ~ is all I can do.

Yep so I just completed my 3rd $0.00 day.. for sure I thought it was broken .. then I had a guy who found me from another site on there that stopped by.. and did a private with me and tipped me.. I don't feel he counts because he is the ONLY one I had in 3 days and he came from another site... .. this has NEVER happened to me before on SM

Mobile doesnt work on the site right now, so you are losing all that traffic. One of the performers sent SM an email about it and they admitted mobile isnt working. Most people on mobile have black screens. I know half my NF guys are mobile so Im sure SM has a lot of mobile customers as well.

The main sites that alot split with are SM, Imlive, Cams, Adultwork, Skyprivate, Cammodeldirectory, LivecamModelsShows and Niteflirt. There's also Flirt4free, Camcontacts and Livejasmin. For token sites Chaturbate, Myfreecams and Bongacams.

I have a strong feeling that they are fixing mobile...and that's what the contest days are for. Every time there's a contest the site is full of glitches and changes. So I'm pretty sure that they use contest days to test out fixes and new features for the site. They want as many models logged in as possible to stress the system while they're updating so they can get a clear picture on conflicts and what still needs fixed. There's always noticeable changes after contest days.
^^^ I hope u right cause ur explanation makes sense, this contest is the pop-up type, not related to a holiday or something or is there a holiday in the US now?
Every time there is a contest my traffic/income is affected cause lots of models log in and work long & hard to reach at the top & get prizes while i cam my usual hrs with a lower placement of course as more models are ahead me in the list; not the fierce competitive type here, i will never sacrifice my well being/ health for any job/amount of money so i cam the usual way.
Regarding SM ways of doing things, looks like we cant change their minds regarding these contests, they'll do their thing regardless, maybe they make profit even they give all that prizes while they also stress the system in the same time so they can work on fixing it; i think a lot of the top earners make even more money during these contests so the prizes are 'well spent', u can never know unless u the CEO at SM lol.
'Me not happy' cause the 'let's give top earners even more money & let the crowd starve' does not sound fair TO ME but who am i to matter?
Money matter always.
^^^ TY!! xx
I knew about Thanksgiving holiday being around the corner but was not sure when exactly & did not look up, yes u guys have few major holidays there in the cold season starting with Halloween then Thanksgiving and Christmas, we only really celebrate Christmas here.
Then i am looking forward for the single/at home/ available guys who need company & less models online ;)
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrate it xxx

I came to cry, coz it s dead every day on jasmin, and i can earn minimum goal only, it seems. Slowly and painfully. Since, it s like this months ago now, i dont really think, it s a "bad day" and tomorrow ll be better... it ll be the same.
HOwever, i learned to handle this shit, after all the shit i learned to handle, but at this point, this job seems nothing to me, nearly worthless. What i think, i ll give a few more moth for it, stay, and see what happens. If nothing, i m out of this, and not going to miss it.

I'm thinking about doing a camathon over the weekend also. I haven't made much and I need to make at least $500 more to be able to pay all my bills. Last weekend was terrible for me so I was hoping this weekend will be good.

I'm about to play some shows/movies on my tablet while I fake smile through these shifts, so that I can have some entertainment because there's def none on the sites today.
