Just curious if there is an extra trick to lightening to get the best results. Should my photography lighting be behind my camera? Or coming in to me from the side? I only use one, though I have two. I've been using one with the ceiling light turned on which is yellowish to me but the photography light helps take that away. I think using both photography lights would be overkill.

There are different ways of doing things, but the ideal is a three-point lighting system, with two light sources behind your camera, at a diagnoal so your cam. is the top of a triangle kinda, then another fill light i back/off to the side. You can play with overhead lights, etc. And you can do a lot with using different led colored bulbs, strips etc. You kinda have to play with it.
I use some cool day led bulbs on ikea floor lamps with a white paper lantern over them, works nicely and takes the orange out. I do find that that the overhead bulbs are too yellow. I also adjust cam settings a bit. I use a pink bulb in my nightstand lamp off to the side, gives a nice "mood" fill light and keeps things from looking too stark.
Found this article:

And a couple of threads on it, a lot of info but worth reading

Also found this one, I'm thinking of upgrading my lighting soon, might check out these options.

This is probably a stupid question but I would appreciate some honest feedback. Basically I'm a bit of a bigger girl. I'm fine with this and quite confident there are plenty of men interested in my body. I'm just not sure if they're men who would describe themselves as BBW-lovers, and as such, not sure if I should advertise myself as BBW. I have my honest weight and measurements on my streamate profile but guys probably don't even know what those numbers mean if they're looking, haha. I'm a size 10, definitely soft and rolly but not "plus-sized". WWYD? I don't want to get guys looking for a skinny girl and then being like "yikes" but I also don't want guys looking for a bigger girl and being disappointed.

There's something out there for everyone. Just do a search on PornHub, and you'll see clips for BBBW. ;)

I've gained weight since January now that I'm no longer vegan and I market myself as BBW. I wouldn't get too hung up on fitting perfectly into that category. I don't feel like a BBW myself but the rolls are enough of an eye catcher to cut me out of the "slim thick" category and put me closer to the "curvy" section.
I say if the thought of a guy mentioning your weight makes you pause then throw that BBW tag on it and go about your business. You might not be big enough for certain guys but they can always go to somebody else. And you can limit how many guys come to you looking for a skinny girl.

For those of you who do Skype shows. If you have a regular who starts sending links to their fetish outside of their paid time. How do you shut that down? I'm not going to talk to you outside of our paid time together. I'm not going to view links or have a conversation outside of that time. Ya know? I hate to hit the block if there is a simple solution to putting certain guys in check.

Has anyone done a bath show on SM here before? Wondering how it went.. thinking about getting online and preparing the bath and hanging out in it with a swimsuit on. Keep some toys nearby. Looking for any little tips if anyone has done it before and wants to share.

Dude asked "why are you in the tub.." and if that had to be asked, sir, then I'm clearly not sitting in it right lol. Haven't done a show in my bathroom since.
(On a more positive note, I got a few privates but I was more concerned with slipping than I cared to be.)

"I'd love to take a look during our show. How many minutes would you like?" If they keep doing it I ignore them til they pay up. No money = no attention.

I love doing extravagant baths (bubbles, bathbomb, brightly colored products, candles, crystals etc) so I thought it would put on a good show. Usually I work early mornings but I couldn’t find the motivation to do my makeup ughh.. so I thought about it and want to take a bath regardless so might as well live stream it and keep some toys handy. Was just wondering about out of the box shows on SM since it’s not MFC or a similar site I think the guys may be pleasantly surprised to see a model somewhere different than a bed or couch. I’ll post later on and update! I want to make decent money for this summer bonus!

Ever have one of those shifts that feels like a waste of makeup? This was one of those for sure.. tomorrow will be better is what I’m repeating.. Also a dude pulled the same “why are you in the tub?” line on me.. was then tipped by a different user to twerk and annoying question customer said “nevermind you answered with your wet booty” the timing was really great.. on that note I’m very inexperienced when it comes to technology and wished I recorded the show.. I’m using a new hp laptop came out this year, I stream from smconnect with a Logitech c922, and an willing to pay for a program if needed. I saw a few posts about this but they were older wanted to know the current programs that are relevant still. Would love to record the special moments and myself in general to watch and analyze

What the fuck gives? Why is it that when a dude comes in my room, and I say HI or I wave and point to them, they immediately leave?
Am I scaring them? Should I stop saying anything unless they say something to me? I thought that pointing them out would make them feel welcome. It's slow AF, I need to sell a show. Only got one dude who "bookmarked" me with a "promise" to come back.
What am I doing wrong here?

I'm kind opposite. I don't mind sissification, but I don't really like SPH. Besides, the few that I did never stuck around for long. They don't really like being laughed at.

would highly advise against cbt if you are inexperienced as it could cause lifelong damage to a customer who is willing to do whatever you say. Also most importantly you should do only what you are comfortable with. Just smile and dance your way around a no and they will move on or possibly tone it down and settle for something more tame. For example, customer wants you to do sph and sissification but you are only comfortable with sph you could say something like, “you don’t deserve to be my sissy.. you will never be good enough for that but maaaybe your goddess will grace your ears with some sph.. maybe” be dominant, be firm with your answer and they will hang on your every word. Again overall you should only do what you are comfortable with, there are thousands of customers

If anyone has ordered a Logitech Brio webcam recently, can you tell me how it came packaged?
I'm pissed off, ordered one from Amazon (usually I'm totally happy with their service but not this time). I made sure I was getting one labeled as coming directly from Amazon, not a third party, and brand new. It arrived today and all the components were just thrown into a black Logitech drawstring bag. The camera has a ding in the metal part of the back looking like it had been dropped, and marks on the front (no plastic peel-off covering over the lens to protect it).
Also there was no warranty paperwork or instructions. I talked to Amazon support and they just linked me to Logitech's website. I'm tempted to return it but really anxious to get started using it.

Did you speak to them live? If it were me I would contact them and tell them that I want a new one sent to me right away, in its package https://news.softpedia.com/news/logitech-brio-stream-4k-edition-review-522381.shtml this site shows you what it should look like when you receive it. Also I would insist they send it out straight away. Tell them that in the meantime you will keep the other one until it arrives and you will send it after you have received the proper cam!! Do not settle for anything less and if you are unsure of how to contact their live support let me know I will show you how. Just tell me the country you Amazon is in.

Yeah, I recently bought a Brio on Amazon and mine came packaged in a "Logitech Brio" labeled cardboard box and was fit tightly in plastic packaging with plastic peeling covering the lense and around the edges of the camera itself. The cable and carrying bag were sealed in plastic. It sounds like you got a refurbished camera.

Don't know if this has been asked: Do you guys think the guys have a usual wanking/rub tug schedule? I'm thinking...based on weekend social habits, streaming during the early eve. might not work like it would during the week, when guys are coming home from work.
But if the dick is used to a usual stimulation schedule...then shouldn't dudes get the same "after work" tingle during the weekends, too? This is a real question, btw.

you have to keep in mind that your traffic is coming from all different sorts of time zones. what is "evening" to you might be morning to some international guy in your room.
i'm on the west coast so everyone is usually ahead of me. i still do just fine working 8pm-3am pacific time.
i would say don't try to strategize based on arbitrary factors like guys "getting home from work." just experiment with different times of day for at least two weeks each, and see where you get the most traffic. then stay consistent with that.

That hasn't stopped anything. They just ask to be your side dude, go on about how much better they would be as a bf/husband, or ignore your answer altogether since it never mattered to begin with. In their eyes you're a cam girl with your titties out. Of course you're available.
Only 1. Yes, I have a bf 2. Yes, he knows I do this shit online and 3. Nope, I don't want anybody else I'M GOOD (in that order whether they asked all of that or not) has deaded those types of conversations.

I do this. Some guys still try, of course, but I just keep bringing it back to my (imaginary) boyfriend. This allows me to reject them without hurting their egos (and hurting my money.) It's not for everyone, and it may scare off especially clingy GFE types, but I have very little patience for that kind of guy and consider that a bonus so it works for me.

I think that may have to do with the release from stress/time they've invested at work. Stress and being "on" all day as well as family responsibilities can really work up a sexual appetite and the need for release :D

You get paid for every guy in the show.
As long as they stay past the required time. ( Not posting what that is, for obvious reasons.)

Good question. I rarely do multi privates, but I once did a show with 3 customers who all stayed relatively long which got me to low goal in one shot. I believe they were all charged separately, per min, for their time in private.

Absolutely! They all pay to watch you. I would make my premium rates higher than a giraffe's ass if SM only charged the one guy.

I'm finally feeling sleepy, but before I sign out (and show back up in a few hours)...I'm going to attempt my first marathon for the rest of the week, cause I need money like yesterday.
I don't have a following of regulars, and half the time I don't even feel like I know what the fuck I'm doing. But I'm thinking...if I just work the clock, then SOMETHING will eventually land in my bank account, right?
Do you think that just working the clock the rest of the week and hoping for the best is a good strategy when there's no regulars, it's been slow, and I do more of the domme stuff?

If you're working the clock in my experience it's always better (except for like, mfc hah) however I also feel like the subs that I domme are more likely to become regulars than people who are not looking for a domme. So my advice would be to stay on but if domming is where you're at definitely spend time with the subs who are spending money in your room building a rapport. Dont give them shit for free of course but just...work your domme magic in private and turn those guys into new regulars!

I'm a sensual Domme, and the ONLY things that got me to page 1 on SM and a following were: long, consistent hours and excellent customer service. Put in those hours and make each show as authentic and pleasurable for them as possible and you'll make money.
