Im seriously starting to freak out....the week before last was fine, good, even....then last week my traffic just dropped off EVERYWHERE and its bill time. Nothing is working and im at my wits end....i know these bad phases happen but usually after a week i can at least have one or two good days coming....I need to catch a break. Bad.

^^Doll, you are not alone. I've been on for almost 3 hours and made $9.46. Oh LAWD it's taking every last ounce of optimism to smile when the in & outers show up. I'm gonna take my lunch break soon and do a long negative energy clearing session so I have the guts to GTFbackO and STFO.
Solidarity sister. Stay strong. You're a fisherwoman...wait for the big fish.

I feel like NF should be pure femdomme. Those customers need to be taught how to get in lin, have some discipline and serve us. I can't even comprehend someone having that little respect for me at this job or for a model any site. You haven't banned him yet?
They don't read everything on your profile most of the time...
I wrote him a really sarcastic email. It was purely to wind him the fuck up. I hope it worked. How someone can be that abusive to someone they don't know. Obviously has mommy issues lol.

Been on since midnight, its now 2am and I have made zero. I had to switch from the streamate connect to the broadcaster cause it was causing me stream issues. Sigh. I'm with you Dahlia, I have to get my horses grain and hay, plus I need gas money and I have 0 dollars. I dont know what I'm going to do. I planned on like not signing off at all but I'm debating maybe just giving up and trying again at like 10am and just cam all day. But with how its been, I am not holding on to hope.

Small victory for me this morning - NF has removed the abusive feedback and apologised...They told me at first they couldn't remove it due to it not violating their feedback policies...It was only when I pointed out that one of their policies was actually "feedback containing obscene language", and asked them to give me an example of what they think obscene language is, that they did a 180. Unbelievable that they don't even know their own policies, or try to implement them.
I might try to get the other nasty feedback removed now. I refused to be insulted by any fucktard with anger issues. I still believe NF should give flirts a right to reply. They used to do it, but have now stopped.
Know your rights and worth Ladies. Don't let any of these fucktwits get you down!

All my model support groups are saying its slow or timewasters lately. I'm glad I took a vacation because clip/video sales took a tank. I'm trying to find a balance with producing and posting clips vs. being live. If its not one taking up my time, its the other. Maybe it's just me but I'm having a hard time balancing my efforts and time.

I'm glad they removed it for you. NF is notorious for always siding with customers even with clear evidence they are in the wrong. The guys know this so some abuse it.
If NF is reading this, fuck you. Do better!

Three hours in and zero made. Zero made last night to. SMbroadcast keeps freezing me and SMconnect keeps pixelating me. I'm literally in tears. It wont let me pick from the drop down to just stream in HD wide like I used to be able to.

Oh LAWD have mercy on my soul. Today started out so good and I haven't made a penny which isn't too alarming, but the guys in my room today? It's nerve wracking. Literally had to kick the last 5 guys out of my room for ignoring my questions and demanding free bees.
I already took a break to meditate and I think I gotta break again as I'm ready to snap LOL.

I actually did good for 3 hours on cam. But the glitches today, were just freaking stupid! A guy tipped me to watch his cam and I couldn't because flash wasn't working right. But flash was working fine for me while streaming?? I thought it was my laptop but nope, it wasn't.

I'm getting like no one in my room tonight except this one dude who got under my skin cause I'm feeling vulnerable right now with making no income on SM yet this week even though I've been on for hours these past couple days. Anyways, he is asking me why I'm not colorful and I'm like excuse me? And he starts schooling me on how colors are stimulating and I should be wearing red lipstick, a pink bikini or dye my hair yellow to it can help arouse men. Where as I'm more natural.
Sorry but I do know some men like more natural and actually if you got me naked you would see a ton of colorful tattoos and piercings all over my body as I'm a goth/punk chick but since I'm getting no shows. I'm not doing my makeup though I prefer natural on my face and I'm in a comfortable bright blue shirt cause well, comfortable. I'll get sexier when I start seeing money.

Statistically men will stare at a woman longer if she is wearing red lipstick. Does that mean they will spend money on SM? Probably not. I’ve tested this out on cam and while I get a ton of worthless compliments for my red lips my sales don’t see a difference.
Miss_ShaSha
04-24-2019, 01:07 PM
^^Legit! I rarely wear red lipstick & wear mostly black lingerie even just wear neutral colored dresses & sell, sell, sell. I'm natural: touch of blush & neutral gloss...still sell, sell, sell.
Personality usually seals the deal not colors.

I'm glad I left that site it made me super depressed and suicidal until the end, no joke. I'm wishing you and all the SM cammers so much strength and many tips!! Yall deserve better than this ghetto site called Streamate! Hope nobody takes offence in this but this site brought me to my limit MANY times last time I used it. It's also the main reason I started doing weed. I'm all for private websites, but NOT if they pay their models so bad (I mean ~70% off the tokens?? Dafuq) and bring in abusive members. I was called a fat whore so many times on it (I'm even slightly underweight now...fat my arse lol) and I never made enough for a living despite working so damn hard. I finally gave up on Streamate after being loyal to them for a long time. They don't deserve me. I have now found websites that pay well without these strange abusive members on it. Sure, I get rude members where I am too, but I'm not getting death threats anymore and the like. Streamate is dead to me.

*hugs* Sorry your week has been so bad...consider doing something new or different on cam, what about just trying something YOU like, watching a comedy movie and laughing or dancing to some cool songs? That way your mood will pick up and in case you still don't make enough you will at least have enjoyed yourself?

This is really great advice. I have been doing this a lot lately since we have to go so long these days with no activity. As I write this I am on Streamate sitting in the middle of page 1. I am watching TV and browsing the internet. I also have games I play on my phone. I found doing anything to entertain them does not benefit me. No dancing, music, etc. I have to take care of myself first. If they want action they can tip appropriately or purchase a show.

hm, i found that sitting, ignoring, typing etc tends to turn them off as well as bores me. i do a lot of talking, dancing, teasing, showing my feet, boots etc and different angles, moving around and personal interaction and dont take any "rejection" personally now or let my mood drop, that really has seemed to increase my earnings. i have guys who ask me to do love spells or smoke cigarettes on cam. anything interesting or new pleases me... also, consistency. i almost always have a set of really good, interesting, wonderful, thoughtful long-term custies :D

this fucking week sucks. nobody is talking or tipping. my shift is just me begging people to talk to me. i tried teasing, different hours, different outfits but still nothing. most guys say nobody talks or tips because they are "intimidated by your beauty" and that's just some bullshit, all pretty girls are getting spoiled by attention and tokens. i feel like everyone already has their fav camgirl so just an ugly girl in the last page won't attract them.

I too do not entertain for free. I sit & wait for shows. I do smile at all who enter, but only engage in conversation with those who say hello first. This works for me & conserves energy. Smiling is good for my health so it helps me. I do think about my own sanity quite a bit. I also read a lot. I have over 40 books in my Google Play Books account plus listen to binaural beats.

oh and i almost forgot, the best of all nag them for tips!! Often they will ignore, watch, in and out but by VERBALLY NICELY asking for tips (tell them the situation too- you need it for your mom's birthday, it's been slow, are late with your electric, your camscore is dropping, you'll play their favorite song, whatever etc) or a show i find maybe 50% of the time someone will tip right then.

Dead to me as well. This period just sucks from the beginning to the end, it seems.
I started positively. I teased 3 hours in free - nothing happened. Now i m still on , but I lost motivation. My room is even more dead now , as i only sit. Simply no hope for anything. And it s just bad day after day, after day.
And I see the SAME people entering to my room, who dont even talk to me. They just sit as long as i tease, and leave without a word when I sit down for a second. I mean... this just fucking suck, right? Actually, i m pretty sure, i deserve better, than this shit.

I cam on Chaturbate and Myfreecams, both with lush and "make me cum and squirt boys" or something like that in my title. Attracts many tipers, 90% of my income comes from tip vibe tips. My vagina is lesser ruined than when I was on Streamate. Sadly tip vibes only work half as good on Streamate due to the no nudity policy.

One guy asked on skyprivate a skype session where I should do tittyfuck in bra reverse in oil and blouse with squirting dildo cum on my face, asked about pre-pay and... Is 5$ enough for me?
I'm just WTF it's only for 2 minds of Skype where I have to do so many things and spoil my make-up with squirting dildo just for 5$???
Another guy on SM tried to convise me to lower my rate on 10c so he can take then 1 min of 3$ pvt where he want to phone and c2c which I do only in exc because won't get 1 star rate from others guys if they will pop in.
Just why they become so cheap that will eat all my brains, patience and nerves for few cents but tried to get from me service which cost more and exclusive for low rates,I just can't handle that anymore.
I mean I'm tired of cheap guys who as jackals trying to broke my will and do hardcore for a few coins just because they see that I'm no longer so popular as I was and not so often in pvt as before so I cost nothing, only 1-2 mins shows.
