i'm sure this will have been asked before but does anybody know if you can send a message to a client before they've messaged you on SM? i've only ever been able to respond to messages but i need to rearrange with a new client and i don't wanna lose him!!

ugh, that really is a big flaw in the functionality. i guess they don't care as long as they're getting their money! he's a potential whale so i guess i'm just going to have to cancel my plans. FFS!

Right. I have a whale who dropped $257 in GOLD during a 22 min EXCL I tried to contact. No dice. He eventually came back & my first words were "baby, message me NOW!"

He'll be back. When? No clue. Just vizualize him returning & he will. No doubt!

Don't know if this has been asked before, but...if I'm wearing headsets and streaming YouTube at the same time that I'm streaming a show...can the guys here what I'm playing on the computer?

To be clear...they can't hear through my camera's mic because I have earphones plugged in. But can the sound of whatever's playing be picked up in the streaming room?

Miss_ShaSha
08-16-2019, 04:50 PM
That's a good question. When I used to listen to stand up comedy on my phone with my headset on I never got any complaints. Still got shows. Just stopped the audio when I got a show.

I don't think they can hear anything.

Hey everyone.

I'm a pretty un-experienced model hoping to get some help here.

What sites do you find works best? Are there any sites where we don't have to work for free? I have tried chaturbate but find the conversion so low. I have worked for 8 hours before and was tipped 10 tokens.. I don't find my self the most attractive girl, but I'm also not the ugliest by far. Any advise going forward?

I'm exclusive with SM (Streamate) and although free chat can be a bore at times, I love that I don't have to keep performing just to make money. I sit in free fully clothed (Sensual Domme) and wait for shows. When I first started back up it took a couple months to build momentum, but now I pay all my bills and then some with SM alone.

I work SM and have no plans to change that for as long as I'm a cam hoe. I've worked on CB, Bonga, LiveJasmin, ImLive, SkyPrivate, Flirt4Free, Phrendly, and Niteflirt (briefly), and Cams.

SM is by far my favorite.

I don't get along with token sites, period, so SM meshes a lot better with the way I hustle. I mentioned a few other private-based sites (ImLive, LiveJas, etc) but I haven't made the kind of money there that I make on SM. Bills get paid consistently as long as I have a Streamate account.

I'm sure a lot of the other ladies can give you a less biased opinion about SM and better clarity on how to work token sites - if they still interest you. But I definitely suggest giving SM a try. It's just too easy to make money there.

As for myself (assuming it's not summer) $200 a night if I'm bullshitting; $300-$400 if I work 8 hrs or more. Sunday's are my golden days, I make rent on Sunday's. It took a year to get to this point. When I first started I was extremely happy with making $500 a week.

Right now the summer is whooping my ass so my earnings aren't predictable and nothing close to what I'm used to.

Wow! Yep, I would for sure be happy with that. Can you give me some tips? How exactly down Streamate work? Do they charge the models or clients a fee? If the models, do you see your earnings after or before there fee? Is there any training videos?

Sorry for all of the questions, just looks a lot more confusing then chaturbate. Or just new and different :D x

1. You receive 35% of whatever you earn on SM. I use BolyenModels as my payment gateway because I couldn't get direct deposit with SM directly. So (because I use BolyenModels) I receive 30% of whatever I earn on SM. I had a 'client' account once and don't recall any extra fees to pay for shows or to tip models. If a girl charges 5 dollars for something then the guy only has to pay the 5 dollars.

2. Thankfully, SM takes their cut immediately instead of torturing you with what you WOULD have made if they gave you 100% of what you make. So, if you make $100, SM won't show $100 - they'll show $35. That's your 35% cut.

3. I have seen a few videos that are like "how to do Gold Shows" and things like that. But they aren't training videos like you'd see on Flirt4Free. It's more of a "how to use this funtion" video versus a "how to hustle best with this function".

4. My inbox is wide open to more questions. I don't mind telling you everything that I know. Feel free to reach out if things are still a little fuzzy.

What do you guys do when you meet your goal for the week? Stop for the week? I saw JessRyan goes on token sites and films it using OBS so she can use the footage for xvids/pornhub. I could also just work my normal hours or film content for the next week.

I have this bad. If i make goal for the week then I usually stop working for the rest of the month. Might log on here or there to afford something from Wish or to get a burger. Laziness takes over completely.

Very useful. 65% cut seems very steep though! How is that in comparison to other cam sites? Doesn't it put you off?

Nope. No other cam sites pays me like SM. I've tried other pay-to-play sites like Skyprivate and ImLive and, at best, I can rely on them to pay my Netflix bill. But I'm sure that's just me - other girls bank on all of those other sites and hate SM. Token sites give me a headache so I avoid them altogether. But SM has proven capable of paying a month's worth of my bills in a week - summer slowdown or laziness being the only exception. So I'm going to stick with them.

I guess different sites work for different girls. MFC seems very unfair, the girls at the top just get higher and the girls at the bottom or newbies just end up lower down. The models that have been in it long term seem to be dominating the site more then anyone else.

I did however hear that the girls at the top are making "incredible money".

NitaBaby
08-23-2019, 06:26 PM
^I agree, it really is based on the individual. I don't know much about MFC but I commend the girls earning anything. I really do. You guys are on a hustle level that I haven't begun to reach.

There is a site - streamatehelp.com - with a ton of info about the site and how different features work. It is very extensive and quite helpful, IMO.

The percentage a site pays out shouldn't be the determining factor in whether or not you work there. What matters most is whether or not you get good paying traffic. Also, SM covers chargebacks so you never have to worry about guys taking their money back, which can be an issue on other sites.

I couldn't stand to work on a token site. There is such a ridiculous amount of freeloading as well as the expectation for you to perform and be entertaining for free. On a site like SM, most guys know they have to pay to see anything exciting.

I have a similar experience as NitaBaby and Miss_ShaSha. Been working SM exclusively for about 5 years. It has ups and downs, but I can always pay my bills and then some as long as I put the hours in.

Yep, the girls at the very top pull in six figures a month. Some of them are literal millionaires thanks to MFC. I've read that girls in the Top 20 make a minimum of $30,000 per month, and girls in the Top 100 make at least $15k per month.

But those girls often work 12+ hour days, every day, with little to no days off especially if they are going for a rank in the Miss MFC contest. They also do a ton of social media and offline work. Basically most of the top models are effectively working 24/7.

Personally I don't have the energy or mental capacity to do anything close to that, which is why Streamate works well for me. I just log on and make decent money and log off. I don't need to be in camgirl mode all the time. I don't need to use social media. I've come close to making 5 figures in a month on SM without a ton of extra effort. If I actually worked a normal full time shift (40 hours a week) I probably could, but I'm much happier working less and making decent money.

how do you find out which tracking number is associated with which item on your amazon wishlist?

I usually go to the "Your Orders", selection from the drop down on the left hand side. (This is mobile btw) From their all orders appear...even wishlist items. Selecting the item will give you the option to track it. If it's multiple items from the same person, they may get split up with multiple tracking numbers. And of course you can check your email notifications for the tracking number. It should be included there.

What do you ladies that use SM use to record your live shows? Preferably something that isn’t going to mess with me using smconnect without an encoder. Is it possible to run obs and have it recording my webcam without streaming through smconnect with obs as my encoder? If that makes sense? I’m a novice when it comes to tech but I’m trying my best to learn. Streaming from a new hp laptop, I keep it on an Ethernet cable when I stream. Tia

Basic question, but I'm wondering: I'm thinking about buying a microphone for my laptop. My camera has one, but I need one that's very close to my mouth so that my neighbors aren't hearing me, especially early in the morning.

Would buying a microphone actually help me to convert lurkers into buyers? Sometimes I smirk or laugh without realizing it, and they guys type, "I can hear you!" So they must love hearing me more than my typing, yes?

I really don't have the extra money for this, but there's this headset/mic usb combo on deep sale. I've used this brand before, I want it, and I'm thinking that I'll earn my investment back quickly if I start speaking more (instead of just typing).

Thoughts/input?

Procrasturbator
08-27-2019, 11:28 PM
^ So you generally type instead of speaking aloud? I don't have microphone recommendations but yes, I've both typed and spoken aloud and I've found better results with speaking aloud. I did OK when I was typing but I don't think I'd have 90% of the regulars that I do if I didn't speak aloud. It has the added bonus of saving my hands/wrists (I get annoyed now when a guy asks me to type, it's such a pain in comparison) and also makes me a lot more personable and interactive, as I can just say what I like instead of stopping what I'm doing to type it out, and I think that makes it feel more intimate and real and keeps them coming back. So yeah, I'd absolutely recommend speaking aloud if at all possible. P. S. Not sure where you work but I had a fetish guy buy me a pretty nice microphone just because he wanted to hear my fart sounds better in his custom videos. Point is, depending on where you work and what your regulars are like that's also an option, which could really help if it would otherwise be a big investment for you.

Forget everything I said above. I just looked again and realized that the tracking numbers shown are from Amazon ecard purchases that I've made. When it's a physical item purchased by a customer I don't receive the tracking info. BUT I do get email notifications alerting me of the purchase. Sometimes the guy will give me the tracking number so I can keep an eye on it. I think that's why I got confused because a few have forwarded the actual email to show me it's done. I didn't remember they were forwarded emails. Sorry. :(

To those of you that do indie shows, do you or can you get payment either thru a camming Amazon account /Google pay where you can use the money towards airbnb or online groceries instead of direct deposit? Hope I worded that correctly lol

I'm looking for a solution to where I could have my groceries paid either by Amazon fresh or use my earnings towards my upcoming airbnb travels.

Just to be clear, I'm not using Paypal. Any suggestions are welcome ;) Thanks!

you're not supposed to use amazon gift card as payment for anything. Google pay also does not allow adult transactions.

I'd suggest indiebill or unblur for payments as their payout is high, no chargebacks, and you can get daily payouts through BM.

There was a site advertising on wecamgirls as launching soon. I think it was a token site, but they said all viewers will only get 5 free minutes and will then be charged 1 token a minute.

They then said that they were splitting site fees between the model and viewer to give viewers more tokens for there money.

1 token a minute is nothing, especially if they are getting more tokens for there money and not having to sit in a room with a bunch of freeloaders watching free from there funds. At the same time, it's enough to ensure that the model is always earning something, even when she is not earning tips, private, etc. If she has 20 clients in the room, she's earnings at least $1 a minute before any tips.

All round, I thought this was a great idea. I cant remember the name of them but I'm going to try and find it. If they can bring in the traffic, I think it may be a good token site.

I'm sorry if there's a thread on this already (happy for someone to link me if so!)

How do you keep yourself entertained during free chat though when it's quiet?! I have a short attention span as it is, I get really restless and I find myself staring into the screen blankly and probably looking very disinterested and unappealing. I put music on and dance but there's only so long I can do that sat in the same place before I start to zone out again.

Any tips/suggestions appreciated!

I minimize the screen (like make it smaller but move it to the side so I can still see it if someone types to me) and open a new browser. From there I mess around on FB, check email, look up stuff or work on my business. Some girls watch youtube videos, pull up their online kindle and read books. Stuff like that.

I alternate between talking to myself as if my room is jumping (takes imagination and a bit of psychosis but i do it) or checking various forums, email accounts, other model rooms, my own room for any new chat, my phone, turning the channel on my tv, wash rinse repeat.

I choose how I'm going to act based on the guys who come in. If they act like they want to spend money then i fake conversations because eventually someone is going to talk anyway. If its dead, dead then i act like I'm busy checking other things and stuff.

Today is a "check other things" day. Guys are watching me type this on my phone right now.
