Who are you? What's your point? No one here has to prove or justify to you what they make is legit. Just because whatever back alley cam girls you talked to don't make those numbers, it does not mean what is declared here is not possible. I really don't get the obsession with what someone is making.
A newbie on this site but I've been camming for years. Yes, indeed, I did check put sites like streamate and talked to girls ( not these top girls) and they don't make anything like what is declared here.

Exactly. Instead of worrying what other people are making, I'd rather focus on maximizing my own earning potential. :) Maybe if everyone did that, then they'd realize what does and doesn't add up for themselves ;)

I am so proud to be your fellow cam girl. You're always killing it! The bigger lesson here is beyond the concern of what others are making but when you are always focusing on who is making or doing what, you miss out on your own blessings!

Like indy? Your posts says you very recently learned about the main cam sites. Im not even a top model and I've been close to making $1000/wk on SM , just didnt put in enough hours.

My average earnings per hour went up from the time when I started in 2013, but my placement is worse than in whole 2013. As we know, money=placement, so I think there is definitely still money to be made on SM.

Well, an average model at my studio makes between $450-600 per week at 18% (the initial commission. the more you make, the more they give you). And trust me, they are pretty, but their english is horrible and most of the time they beg tips. So I really think that an model with some nice looks (they matter, even if people say they don't), a charming personality and a higher cut would be able to make at least $1000.

I'll be honest with you, a newbie usually does 250-300 in 30h. When I started camming, a year and a little ago, that's how much I was doing. I had weeks when I was making even less. Now my average is 10 times more. You need to keep in mind that we are never allowed to chance our rates, everybody starts with 2.29 premium / 3.79 exclusive, so they have to work even harder than the independent girls. Not the mention that every model at my studio gets only 18% if she makes less than $600 per week.
If they can do it, you can for sure even more. Just get the best settings for your camera and be natural (as an attitude), then more cash will come.
Their placement depends, because is a studio they keep us in top 200 models online. Which means nobody goes lower than page 5 (if the page is with 40 models). Still, that doesn't guarantee you making something.

And by what magic do they do this exactly?
By putting in those hours (at a minimal earnings) and having a half-decent cam, you do this yourself basically. There's no additional magic the studio adds to keep you in the top 200. I read the Romanian cammodel message boards, its absolutely crazy the things they try to tell the girls there.

By being Streamate's preferred studio. :) That's the magic. We have an exclusive contract with them, which gives us some benefits (placement, traffic), but of course, we have a lower cut. I work there, so I can say for sure. And is not like I try to promote them, because we are located in Ro. The studio is not perfect at all, but has the best contract with Streamate on our market.
SimoneGray

^^ Have you seen that contract? If you haven't I would be very wary of what you are being told. Studios will do anything to make you feel like getting 18% is ok. Seriously.
When I was with a studio I never made big numbers with SM because it was kinda not possible with the cut I was getting. I am no longer with a studio and even though I haven't pulled my first $1k there yet, I am now seeing bigger checks than I ever saw, so I know I will get there.
Anywho, what it boils down to is the fact that one cannot be successful while peeking over someone else's shoulder. Stay on your lawn, grow your damn garden and work. Get tips from the pros, watch and learn, but implement also. Watching will not get you paid. Only implementing will.

04-10-2015, 07:46 AM
No, I haven't seen the contract, I suppose is confidential. But I had a meeting with one of the Streamate's delegate when they renewed the contract this year. He came to Ro to sign the papers and he wanted to have a feedback from the models part.
Besides that, in the reception is a big diploma that certifies them as a preferred studio, it's signed by one of the heads of the website and dated.
So if they lie, at least they know how to. Anyway, I doubt it. As I said, never seen a girl from our studio to be lower than number 200 online. Still, those unpopular girls struggle to make $100 per week. So for sure their position is not reflected by earnings.

I've read a lot of your post. And I appreciate how open you are. But do you ever worry that being this way may come back to bite you in the ass? Im not familiar with your studio or how they treat the models. I don't even know who you are. But it seems that some do. I hope your candor won't begin to work against you.

I just want to give a different side of the east-european models and how much they work because of their low cut.
+ all the informations are on the site of the studio, so not actually giving insides about them.

Is that a physical RO studio I've seen on the site? If that is the case, it's kinda understandable that they take a part of the cut because they give you room, good cam and computer, internet connection..All that is not cheap, and some models can't work at home for different reasons, so the only way for them is a studio. Do the also pay social insurances, etc. for you or you have to do that by yourself?
But about placement, I think it's bs. I have very shitty internet connection, when I started I also had a bad computer and cam, and was never lower than page 4, if I used the encoder...

18% -- I don't care what contract you have, you are being used. The thing is, you don't seem to realise that.

Yes, is a studio in Ro. Most of the top romanians work with me. No, they don't pay for nothing. We have no contract with the studio, they don't intermediate no money. They offer just training and the proper place to work and Stramate pays them with the contract I mentioned. So we have taxes too.
Commissions variate from 18% to 25%. I get the highest one, so I'm not that used. If I would work from home Streamate would give me 30%, but I won't be promoted that much anymore. It's logic, the more you give the website, the higher will be your spot.

So...how does your studio promote you?
I don't get how studios work (vs indies) in terms of promotion.
Also...are you getting 18% of 100% (before SM takes their %)? Or are you getting 18% and your studio is getting 12% (of the 30% that SM pays)?

04-10-2015, 10:40 AM
They only way I can see a studio promoting their models is by giving them a higher position on the page. But even that is kinda earned, because you pay more for a better placement. From there you are on your own. They give you the chance with the exposure, but nobody can send people in the room or make them pay.
The initial commission is 18% from 30%. The more you make, the more you get, biggest one is 25%. The rest part of it goes back to Streamate, to support your position on the page. My studio doesn't get no % from our weekly funds. They are paid every year by Streamate with a contract. I have no idea how much they get paid or what is the target for the studio (they must have one). They are an exception in Ro. The rest of the studios have regular contracts, not exclusive, so they get a commission from you.
I worked 3 months in a different place and I wasn't getting nothing special from them, no traffic, no better position. Felt like working from home, but I was giving them half of my earnings. Then I left and went where I am right now. I am not pleased all the time, because you deal with a lot of people when you work in a studio, but I invested time & energy and emotions in my current account. And I am happy with what I make. I am working for my future, not to buy LV bags.

Issabelle
04-10-2015, 10:55 AM
I'm not quite following, so maybe we can make it easier. For every $1 a guy spends on you, how much do you get to keep? For non-studio US/western models, it's .35 cents. For non-studio EE models, it's .30 cents. Studio rates vary dramatically regardless of region from there (one particularly nasty US studio pays .20 cents for each dollar). When I read your comment that initial commission is 18% of 30%, that says to me you're getting 18% of every 30%, or .054 cents for each $1 a guy spends on you. That seems absurdly low, so I'm hoping you meant that initial commission is .18 cents for every $1 a customer spends up to a high of .25 cents for every $1 (where you're at now).
For what it's worth, what Katy said about placement and contracts is worth thinking over. She owns the daily pay studio Boleyn Models and has said it's very rare if not unheard of for placement to actually be bought by a studio, simply because SM doesn't really offer those deals (she's asked). It's not at all that I don't believe you might be in the rare studio that does have that deal with SM so much as I'm very curious about the policies you're discussing. Hope it doesn't come across as rude. :)

Katy has asked about buying placement BUT we must keep in mind who Katy is - she's a studio owner very active on these forums. I know for a fact that Liz and Shawn both at least read these forums, and I'm sure many others working for SM do as well. The fact that SOME studios can get preferred placement by some means or another is not something SM exactly wants out there. Why? Because it's not exactly fair. They are not going to tell Katy - an active memeber of this community - about receiving special treatment regarding placement. Why? Because she would just come here and tell us all about it and then we would bombard SM with request for similar preferred treatment.
SOME studios CAN get preferred placement - if only momentarily. Pay attention to the site you work. Have you ever checked SM one day and suddenly you see some new model that you've never seen before in the top row? I have, many times. Usually if you read their profile it says KGB studios in the profile somewhere. They are brand new and they are in the first row because of the studio they are in. Now the trick for the model is to KEEP that preferred placement, and most can't.
But don't go thinking these arrangements don't exist just because someone asked and SM said they don't. There are probably confidentiality agreements in place as well.

Who am I. Do I have to be somebody do give an opinion. I didn't ask anyone to prove to me what they are earning.
So to make $1000 a week (take home pay) on streamate, which is an average weeks wages, you have to make about $3000 dollars. Personally, I think a lot of girls boosting about their earning on this forum are someway affiliated to streamate. The figures just don't add up.
No, but you did make it seem like those who earn $1000 or more aren't earning that amount on their own, so I think naturally people are going to prove themselves. $1000 isn't an unreachable amount. I'm not even on the 1st page, I'm on the second page around the 6th row (my placement has dropped alot from not being on regularly) and I'm able to make $1000 (which def didn't happen over night for me) or more when I put the hours in.
I'm not sure what you mean by being affiliated with SM...I'm assuming you mean we may get special traffic or placement. Like I said I'm on the 2nd page and tend to post in the "Camming Sucks" thread because of traffic so yeah no special treatment or affiliation for me. I also highly doubt that all the girls who post in the "$1000 Challenge" thread are affiliated with SM. If you calculate how much you need to make a day to make $1000 in a week and put in the hours until you make that amount then you will make $1000 or more as well.

Yea you're right...I do some un-heard of insane hours to earn that grand every week. All because of the one thing I struggle with- my tea cup poodle sissy booty hasn't come to terms to expand. The expert hustlers make (on a bad day mind you), with clips back-up sites, advertisement, delivery 'it girl' on cam style, etc.. what takes me 8-10 ten hrs a day lost in a shuffle some where on the 20th pg. so yea..Its possible.

I totally can't understand this way of thinking. Is it the fact that you are camming at all? Or the fact that you are sometimes able to see them if they do c2c? Or is it that you are doing one on one? Does that make group shows like MFC free chat shows where hundreds of guys see you alright then?

Ask your husband what exactly it is about you camming that makes him uncomfortable? I bet you it's more than just you doing Cam to Cam. It could be you are making more than your husband and working way less. THAT alone could make him feel inadequate.
Since we're talking about husbands and spouses, I just want to say that a marriage or relationship cannot be broken from the outside in. It's broken from the inside out so communication is vital.

After he hears all of the insides of the job and how unenthusiastic I am about some of the douche customers I deal with it kind of took the fantasy out of porn for him. He's 100% supportive though. Not a jealous bone in his body. He thinks it's "hot" when I'm enjoying my job (even if it's only for the money). I just found it amusing when he told me he's not really watching much porn anymore because of my stories lol.

My husband has ALWAYS loved watching me on cam (I usually cam on token sites) and has always found it to be a big turn on. It has only been since I told him about the processes on streammate and how different the site is from token sites, that he started to feel slightly uncomfortable.
He didn't ask me to stop broadcasting on streammate, I just did, because I no longer feel comfortable camming on a site that makes my husband slightly uneasy, if that makes sense.
If I sound defensive, it is because I am. My husband and I are very happy, and I don't like people assuming we are "broken from the inside out".

^^^ i fail to understand what is the difference between mfc crowd and sm guys, is still the same thing u do on cam, right? it sounds just odd no matter if u say u guys are happy there, still ur man has insecurities & is afraid u getting 'too close' to these guys during the one-on-one sessions. if that was not the case ur guy wont be disturbed by ur sm's clientele & one-on-one pvt's, i think that's what people tried to point out here.

Can you please explain exactly what PROCESSES on Streamate that make your husband uncomfortable? Because from writing what you wrote, it sounds like Streamate is being shady. If anything, I would think that it would be easier on Streamate because I do feel you're kinda "begging" for money on token sites.
If not camming on SM makes you feel better then that's your prerogative. I don't think anyone here have any agenda for you. I KNOW I sure don't.
You are right, you do sound very defensive and always offended in the majority of your posts but not this one. You also tend to think the worst of what someone said, why is that?!
I didn't say YOUR marriage is broken from the inside out but I do stand by what I said 100% that any marriage or relationship can only be broken from the inside out. If God forbid anything ever happens to yours, what I said also apply but that's MY opinion. If what I said doesn't apply, you should let it fly.
My husband has ALWAYS loved watching me on cam (I usually cam on token sites) and has always found it to be a big turn on. It has only been since I told him about the processes on streammate and how different the site is from token sites, that he started to feel slightly uncomfortable.
He didn't ask me to stop broadcasting on streammate, I just did, because I no longer feel comfortable camming on a site that makes my husband slightly uneasy, if that makes sense.
If I sound defensive, it is because I am. My husband and I are very happy, and I don't like people assuming we are "broken from the inside out".

Interaction is very different between token sites and private sites. I am living it now trying to go more token site because I don't want to do so many penetration shows anymore. It is just easier to be less hardcore on token sites because the guys don't all necessarily want an intimate one to one experience with you. They like the whole fun, teasing, community party vibe. There is way more creative hustle involved and it's feeding my brain. Streamate-like sites are based on doing the same hustle in a very repetitive way...the men like consistency. In fact, sometimes I think I could run a recording of myself.
I can understand where your husband is coming from...one on one can get really intimate especially if you have a really persistent customer who will spend every last dollar they have on you. The guilt can be unbearable because they want to constantly push you further into a real life meeting and you feel pressured. The thing is, you set the bouondaries. You don't have to take it into GFE territory if you don't want. Your husband can trust that you are able to set the level of intimacy you are comfortable expressing.

Streamate isn't being shady at all. The customer support I have received there has been amazing, and staff have always been quick to respond. Steammate is different in its processes in the sense that I find it much more intimate, and less of a large group show type of cam show. At least it was this way to me. Token sites, to me, is a lot of working the crowd, wanting lots of numbers in your room, getting everyone in on the fun. On streammate, with so few people in my chat room, I found I was more working people on a one on one basis. Trying to find something in common, trying to get them to take me exclusive. My husband, like me, isn't used to this one on one stuff. We're working through it together though.
I hope that helps answer your question.

My soon to be husband LOVES that I cam! He encourages it! But we also have a bit of a cuckold relationship going. Which works great for us both because I love camming and entertaining men. Back to the fact that SM is the best site, well I'm happy with it. I've had very few glitches and I shrug it off because glitches go with the territory. Support has always responded quickly when I needed them, and they have always done what I asked or needed help with. I've no complaints at all except for a little SM wish list of tools that would be AWESOME! Like the color coated notes or icon notes, a 60 second warning sound the custie can provide in private when he is close to cumming so I won't stop what I'm doing, switching the way the Gold Show starts or stops (having an option of how it starts) those "little things" that would make life so much easier. LOL

Yeah, it's the same thing done on cam. But on MFC you've gotta really give public chat your attention, and be okay with conversation and whatnot the whole time. And the regulars that you build up on MFC will be very important to your income. When you earn your daily goal on there, a huge percentage of that money was probably given to you by your regulars. MFC guys tend to be a bit more on the attached/clingy side, and the conversations in public chat go deeper than just "Hey, you ready for private, bb?" In fact, some guys on MFC will damn near lose their minds if, God forbid, you skip camming for a night or two nights in a row. You return, and someone's on there complaining "Where you been? I was looking for you yesterday, but you weren't here." *eye roll* Um...if you had actually paid attention to my room topic and my tweet stating "I won't be on cam tomorrow," you would've known, genius. Haha.
On Streamate, you don't have to be as much of a conversationalist as you have to be on MyFreeCams, and you make your money doing private shows (usually don't have to wait too long for private shows either). On MyFreeCams, you'll probably make most of your money from tips in public chat.

This is so true^^^ I took off four days and I don't have to worry about needy people. Yes, some are probably sad they couldn't jerk off to me. But I know they will still spend and take me to private.
