^ yes it so pays to be bilingual! Just learn a few phrases and they'll go crazy. I get a lot of German guys in the room and I know some dirty German talk and how to say a lot of basic things and have a simple conversation. They get so excited and love my accent.

This one guy came in for a private the other day. He didn't say SHIT. I was like hi, can you hear me? Hello? What would you like to see? Nothing. He stayed for like 3 minutes.

So I emailed SM support about what I should do about my account, seeing as how I can't really get traffic. I asked if it would be better to make a new account or if there was something I could do.

They just replied back with "Being new doesn't affect your placement" (uhhh what about the NEW MODELS PAGE) That my internet speed is matched with customers internet speed, and thats how you get traffic. Also my ratings(which I explained I've never gotten a rating) my hd settings( i told him i use the encoder and explained my internet and PC settings) would affect my placement. I understand that(and I explained I understood that in my first email)... then with a second line saying that I just need to be patient.

I'm not necessarily upset at the information in the email, but it was the over all condescending tone in the email. A complete disregard for my concerns, and basically saying DEAL WITH IT.

:/ Well I'm signing up with two other cam sites now anyways. Not everyone has to make their money on SM.

It's so dead right now. :( Earlier I made a bit, but since I got back on an hour ago, I haven't had a single private. It's nothing but beggars and men who are managers for other camgirls and KNOW that if I lowered my rates I'd get more customers.

arrrghh i was doing so well when i was using the encoder tonight and then out of absolutely nowhere it kept disconnecting.

WHYYY, SM. WHYYYY

Camming sucks right now because it's just not fun lately. No one on Streamate talks unless they are trying their damnedest to get something for free. I have guys come in and tip the required 5 gold for ass and never say one word. I just don't get why they want this kind of atmosphere. They come in, they log out, I just sit here and wait...I'm bored out of my mind. Why do we even need free chat?! Every now and then I'll get a "hi" or "how are you?" and when I respond they leave. Arghhhhh!!! I just don't get it!!

It's taxes. I'm sure it's gotta be taxes. Things are bound to get better after the 15th. Stay strong, ladies, I'm not lowering my rate by a cent... they'll be spending again soon.

anonymous camgirl
04-04-2014, 11:32 AM
^^ Kaii,
The problem with lowering your rate is after being at your higher rate for awhile and not getting anyone and then you lower your rate, in essence you think you are making money, but it's nearly impossible to make up the money from when you were charging a higher rate cuz now you are making less.. make sense?? If you hold out and stay and call their bluff.. you will make the money up that you missed out on.

We talk a lot about all those rude jackasses that we see and have to deal with every day, but we always forget the other side.
What about all those nice, handsome, intelligent, attentive, generous, polite, funny, sexy, kinky, delicate men that we meet there from time to time? It just breaks my heart sometimes to see them there and to know that they are often so insanely lonely, and that cams is just as good as it can get...
So Im not making any point. My last shift just made me sad cause of it. =/

Holy fuck, nothing but freeloaders and assholes on SM today. Just got taken pvt by a guy who didn't say anything and left after like 15 sec. Pretty sure he was doing it on purpose too cause he kept trying to get free shit in guest chat.

fuck this man. I'm gonna watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians (I'm not ashamed) and eat. I uploaded a new clip and queued some for the next 3 days, hopefully they'll sell. I have more clips to film and scripts to write but right now I'm just too drained.

It could be where they are coming from.. Like where the site is advertising on, Like I hardly hear about guys looking for dates saying I came from some sex dating site anymore.. Must be some IGNORE fetish site they are coming from, they must think we like it and it turns us on BB...lol

There's a special place in hell for scammers who try to pass themselves off as paying customers. I just had a guy on an indy site claim to have prepaid me for a show, and tried to get me to do the show before it showed up in my earnings.
No mother fucking way.
So after waiting a sufficient amount of time for the $$ to show up, and then him admitting to scamming me while still trying to get me to turn my cam on, I turned the tables on him a little bit, and told him that I took a screen shot of our conversation, and that the company doesn't take kindly to scammers. And that since he was such a douche, it would take double the amount that he was supposed to pay for the show just to keep me from not turning him in and getting him banned from the whole site. Total bluff, but fuck him anyway. I think this is the approach I'll take from now on.

I wonder what caused this because SM customers didn't use to be like this. They use to talk and they didn't pop in and out like they do now.

I've wondered this too... if SM had customer forums like MFC it would make more sense for the customers to have a "culture" like this but it's really weird that so many guys on SM seemingly independently decide to be so quiet and flaky. It was really weird when I was still bouncing back and forth between SM and IML and was ultimately the deciding factor. They're very similar sites in many ways but for some reason guys on IML will actually stick around and talk to you, while like 9/10 guys on SM would either leave immediately or say hi or ask a question then leave right after. So weird.

My pet theory is that SM has/had a lot of glitches that kick the guys out or make trying to talk to the model pointless so now even if there's no glitches the guys have been trained to lurk or leave. Which doesn't make much sense but it's the only explanation I can think of.

Now that I'm in HD, I guess my customers can see all my stretch marks and leg stubble and won't like me anymore...jk, but that was something that actually went through my head. XD

Sometimes I like a little caffeine and I like Coke, so what? I've seen most of them on cam2cam and 75% or more of them are overweight. So seriously, shut the fuck up already about it already.

Haha I've seen that, some girls have their profiles entirely filled with stolen photos. The nerve, really. Stealing, scamming & fuck. It annoys me too. Sites should suspend them for that shit!

It's even more "funny" when you find another model on your site has used one of your photos for a profile pic. Even funnier when you find out it's a ladyboy.... true story. I actually let it go and didn't complain - felt sorry for the model. I took it as a compliment LOL.

They make me nervous too. The energy is so frenetic and so many things can go wrong, trolls can ruin the vibe, the show can disconnect, once I swung my leg and unplugged the webcam. It's difficult to perform for so many at once, but the more often you do it the more you get used to it. Perhaps just do a simple tease one, even for a small group, it helps reduce the frenetic vibe and get you used to it. I can always be found with a glass of wine and a cigarette when I do gold shows. They make me nervous usually but I do it anyway, usually 1-3 per night, 2-3 days a week.

Actually, this is a growing concern for other 'aspects' of the adult industry as well. HD video definitely shows up imperfections that 'standard' quality video used to obscure. It's becoming a real problem for 'mainstream' porn producers in particular. However, it is also an increasing issue for 'top shelf' camgirls.
