I called 4 times and every time they said he was on his way....come 8:45 pm and he never showed. Didnt call. Nothing. So I called ATT and, come to find out, the fucktard that set my appointment initially set it as an installation, which is low priority over tech problems, and they were overbooked.....so i had to have an all new appt. set and now they wont be here til Tuesday. I am going to try to cam anyway, as sitting around all week just really fucked with my head....just hope i can come across some dudes who dont care for sub-par quality cam. My net work fine for about 5 minutes, then drops out for 5 minutes, then back, etc all day. So maybe I can get some short shows in while its on the upswing? I dunno....gotta try tho, cause im nervous as fuck about being able to cover my bills.

Well, as real as summer slowdown can be, I am convinced there must be something going on with Streamate at the moment. It's just impossible that so many people, even those that normally are high earners, are experiencing hours and hours with $0 made. At times like this I am glad I got more eggs in my basket. I still didn't make my low goal last week, but at least I've got enough to survive a bit longer. Hang in there, ladies. I'm sure it'll get better soon xx

Hello I dont think hardly no one is in SM office,because I been emailing them ,its very inportant and its about my wired check for US. I recently changed from checks to wired which cost a gripping $40.00. I had to because I am going out of town for 3 weeks. DO anyone know if SM having wired issues it was said incorrect information. I want to scream my head off about now.
I even took a chance to call SUPPORT and some guy answered saying he dont have any answers for me and hes the IT. How the heck you run a top buisness and dont have enough staff to support us.

Question Ladies
DO anyone get the new wired for US its cost $40.00?

WHat day is pay day when its wired to you or we get paid?

I also made sure the swift code was correct and called my bank again.

Also now my payments been put on hold.Until they get in the office .

I NEED MY FUNDS SO I CAN PAY SOME BILLS THAT ARE DU, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WOULDNT BE NO PROBLEM SINCE FOR SWITCHING THIS BEFORE PAYOUT STARTS.

Only one in stream office answers you is Liz. I was notified that she was out of town for a week or so....
It would of been nice to have an auto reply saying shes out of town.

LadyBuggie summertime always be slow because everyone got their kids in camp abd cant come online because there families or whatever the situation maybe. So what I did was went up on my rates and get selective customers that dont expect or to do 2 or 3 minute show. The best i can tell you is find something else added with this. That what I recently did. I got a small buisness and Im happy with it. No any XXX sites either something regular I can depend on.

Charlotte yes it can make you crazy, I been thru it over and over what I do is buy less in the winter and save up some cash for the summertime. It not over yet. Just try and find something else. Its not booming like that unless you send out a blast message to all your customers and that should help also communicate and let them know your hrs of being online

Hi Nita baby I like your post so true. WOmen strive off being happy when they make some sufficient money. The customer or retards dont understand that at all. Then they come in your room saying are you horny. I say do it look like it you see that I am sitting here like a duck.

Streamate sucks lately. The last couple of weeks have been great, and now the encoder is being faulty, I'm being told that my cam is lagging, and what's worse- I'll be in free chat and my stream is SO behind that people don't even see me doing what they ask me to do. I need a better site!!!!!!

Hi Dominican Dream. Yes the endocer is I stop using it about 4 to 6 months ago. I have no issues using The SM BROADCAST BETA CAM2CAM. Maybe try that or SM CONNECT. I dont have to worry about losing money or shows no more.

Saving money during winter/ spring ( March/ April were really good for me) is what I should so from now on... like I said, I went in a few crazy shopping sprees when $$ was good and now I wish I hadn't...
I wanna get my hair done for my b day but if I do I might not have enough $$ to pay my cc bills next week like I want to do.. ( yeah I don't have to pay them that early but I like doing that in case it gets even worst the week before the payments are due...)
I was just going through my earnings month by Month and May it s when the slow down started for me, specially the last 2 weeks in May and now June is pretty sad as well...
We will make it work, we 've done this many times but it sucks!

YES. Why don't they actually go there? Seriously? Like, for real? My titties are not so amazing that they can't find another pair to beat off to for free.

I think some guys don t just go on Freemium sites to beg there cause they know a performer there talks to a group and doesn t put the emphasys on the individual as many girls on a Premium site do.

I have only been able to stream 9 hrs so far (a storm killed my power Sunday which is my highest earning day and I could only stream for 3 hrs) this week and I've made $95.54 (I make that in a couple hrs on Sundays LOL) it's so insulting really. I'm uploading daily to my C4S store to supplement during this SM slump. You got the right stuff. Men are spending less with summer just starting. It's so apparent. Keep hangin on. You got this!!!

I came back from bringing my little one to therapy, I m doing my 5th hr now and still 0.... where is everybody??
I don t even here from a few of my regulars anymore??
I had a guy ( not a regular but he would always do some long calls on NF w me) messaging me ( at least on the chat so I made some $$ lol) and told me he s now dating a lady so that s why he haven't been calling...lol
I m sure that has happened countless times and don't get me wrong.. it does make sense... but it hurts us cam girls big time sometimes..lol

I know the tip vibe could be a potential to make a little more money. Do the guys see anything different on their side that shows them you have one? Cause if not, cant we just get away with a $10 dollar kegal weight that has the same exact thingy sticking out of your vagina? And then down the road get an actual tip vibe when you have that type of money to spare? I mean I've heard of girls faking it when their vibes broke since it all just goes off the sound of the tip coming in.....

I have always wondered that or if it's just for free chat why even bother getting something insertable? Just get something to stick out of the side of your panties that looks similar and presto tip vibe

You could get something to stick out of your panties, however I have been taking to a show after getting tipped and many of them want to see you take it out of your vag. So you could run into a problem if you are faking it.

I don't know should I cry or laugh but I have a real lovense and never had tips for it, even guys who tipped me for I bought that lovense never appear in my room again. If I knew that I will not see them again I'll buy kiroo or we vibe instead lovense but maybe just this week suck and they will come again, who knows.

Well my regulars did a present for me and tipped 300 golds for I can afford to buy a lovense because of it the best orgasms, God know why they think it but I bought lovense, it's a third day with it and they didn't show up in my room again.

Some guy on Skype wanted 5 minutes for $5, I was like sure send it. Why not? I blocked him. Within minutes, he came back and yelled at me immediately on the site that I wasn't on skype doing the show with him..he was going to contact A B and C and "tell everyone about me". LOL

$5.00 $5 fucking dollars.

yep i aaaaalllways wonder, above all, on these sites, why the traffic cycles like this, why some nights are jam packed with broke losers normalized or expecting (and why, who doe sex work for free, wtf wtf wtf?) free shows etc- how do these guys even get on these sites to begin with? that really bothers me. i've see basics on MFC who for YEARS now have been basic, i've never seen them once bolded, meaning theyre not premium or have money in their account. and theyre in my room at least once every day I cam until I notice and ban them. Why do they let them stay on the site for months and years when they aren't able to spend any money? WTF raise the standards, cam sites! No one in the industry is benefitting from broke broke broke af lazy POSes. Get rid of them immediately.

Today s camming makes me wanna vomit. How can my room be full empty for hours? Why i see only the SAME freeloaders all the the time and no one new? My placement is not even bad.
Why i see more and more new - probably romanian - studio girls - why they swarm endlessly? Who the fuck can earn good money with this, when there is no traffic, and 10/9 18+ romanian girl sitting in a stuido now, 12 hours / day?
This is fucking brutal shitty bullshit, i wish i d never start camming.

I just moved to a new, beautyful place, from my previous depressing home. I was like "allright, here, even the bad days ll feel better" but ofc, as always, camming just immediately turned into a disgusting piece of crap, and it still poision my life and mood. I dont know if it s the summer, or what is this, but i fucking hate all these "men" and everything.

Seems like to me, everybody makes money easily, except me. I see models, with 100, or even 1000+ credit surprises and they just sit. Or they get pvt as least. Me: nothing, no one even talking to me. Like i m fucking cursed or something. Im not the best model, but not worse than them, so really i dont get it, why everybody just fucking hates me?

in 5 hours today, i had ... 3 pvts:

1: in 2 minute , the guy: "oh someone knocking on my door, sorry" leaves.
2: leaves in 10 sec. " oh my connection, sorry"
3: *idiot sitting in my room for half hour, says nothing do nothing. Finally i kick, and the moron comes back just to insult* ofc, idiot explains himself: "i was waking up" ... Yess idiot pls stalk in my room quietly for a day, just to "wake up" that s what a cam site has made for!

Fucking nonsense garbage.
These losers make me want to hang myself.

I make 1500 a week - the problem is, on the second week i barely make anything. One period is 2 week long on LJ. The first week goes well *thankfully* and I get that amount, or closely - pretty fast.
And the second week, on better percentage: I just sit in my room, fucking helpless, and not a fucking soul want anything anymore in my room. No one comes in , no matter what. I dont fucking get it. I mean: unless they manipulate the rooms somehow, this is not possible.

It s like... let s say: I make "10unit" in 30 hours on the first week. Second week i make "2 unit" in 60 hours. How the fuck does that make sense?

can be soooo unpredictable. it varies so highly but luckily i've found my current business model works where if i extend a shift during a slow day (maybe occur 33% of the time) i can always no matter what hit $130 or so and it goes up to over $350 on busy days. Using many types of sites simultaneously and relying on good submissive clients here and there it averages out. Now if only I can get my brain and body to catch up with what i *need* to do and work more often..*sigh*

I wish it would be unpredictable, but in my case, it s not.
I have been trough a lot in the past few months. I Moved to a new country. I left everything behind. I managed to pack all my things alone - and i did everything alone. It was hard, and tiresome.
So, this is my first month, at the new place - in new country. And i just forgot it, that actually: I NEVER make money on LJ on "week two". Now I remember again.
But!! On the "bright side" i can say: everything went back to "normal" pretty fast... :S

UGH That toe jam/"pee fetish" troll is out and about again. I made a grand total of $26 off his previous foot fetish. He comes at you in Skype telling you loads of girls on NF do pee play then doesn't contact you on NF until you've blocked him on Skype. He has a different "fetish" every week. Disgusting insect deserves to be dommed into submission and PAY well for it.

What is LJ? It's about the same on most sites but NF and MFC are utterly dead.

I'm glad things are looking up for you. I feel bad.. I NEVER feel bad about this job. Like all along I was really ugly or something. :/
