After the first night on AllBBWCams (was on for a couple of hours), I did split it with SM after I got the feel for it and had gotten a show so I knew what the prompts sounded like. It didn't use a special encoder or anything like that. It's just flash based similar how to IMlive is. I'm surprised your camera didn't light up though as it should have. It should have shown your feed in the upper left hand corner. Check your flash settings and see if your camera and mic are set to being the default and if you've allowed the site access to them. They should show up in the drop downs though so you can choose between them

Attached is a picture of how it looks on my end. I don't have my cam plugged in which is why the verysoft logo is displayed and no mic selected.

The nice thing is you can actually turn down the volume for guys on c2c and there is a private only and break mode as well. (the two buttons under the webcam selection).

Sadly, if a bank is closed she will not be able to send the payment to your bank, even if they are open. Holiday's really do suck but you just gotta make sure you have a calendar with all holidays marked that affect banking and plan accordingly!

We tried to get a little advanced warning out with the newsletter this time...why it was rushed a bit. There were some options there for models over the long weekend - primarily:
1) We're saving/storing alternate payment methods on file (Payoneer or Paxum) for use later by request.
2) We loosened our lending criteria a bit and dished out quite a lot of money on Thursday's payout. The reins are on loans are very tight now until some of it comes back.

There's really not a whole lot else we can do about banking holidays - maybe rent a golf cart and start terrorizing bankers so they know that holidays are bad.

Hi - I was wondering if we are able to have our daily pay go into our significant others bank account. We aren't married but all the bills pull out of his account and we keep getting hit with overdrafts 😁

KatyBoleyn
09-10-2015, 11:39 PM
You can do that, just make sure if you ever have pay issues to let us know that when talking to us...it cuts down a lot of confusion when we're looking at different systems.

When you update the banking info, put in the blank for "exact name on bank account" the proper name attached to that bank account.

So far as I know it started last Saturday night. It will keep going every week until further notice so if you missed this week there's always the next.

Thank you :) The feeling is mutual and it does keep us going on bad days, not much else to say without getting too mushy.

I'm trying so hard to get back going again but I feel like I'm in a hole and I can't climb out. Probably should post this in the sick girls thread and log the fuck on thread, but I love my studio too. Even if I don't have a constant cash flow right now, it's comforting knowing that you guys are here. I've got apartment deposits and I hope to knock them all out this Saturday->Saturday. Wish me luck. ;----;

Streamate bonus program is as follows:

- The timing goes by each weekly pay period you see on Streamate.
- At the end of the week, we look to see if you have earnings for all 7 days.*
- We take the lowest earnings for that 7 days and pay it out to you a second time as a bonus.**

* Earnings don't need to be from working necessarily, cammodels.com and Gold Club income also count if it falls on that day.
** Bonus payment is calculated at "non-commission" rates, so it will be a little more than what is showing on your sheet.

Theoretically if you earn exactly the same amount all 7 days, it adds up to the full 35% for daily pay. Again, this works well for:
1) Those that pace themselves with a regular schedule and daily goals.
2) Those that want to cram for an upcoming expense and do a little "pre-planning".

For everyone else it's just business as usual.

Issabelle
09-12-2015, 03:20 PM
When you say the bonus is paid at non-commission rates, you mean 35% instead of 30% yes? So, if I made, say $60 for the low day, the bonus would actually be $70 (35%)? That's sweet Katy!

The SkyPrivate raise to 71% for daily pay is effective now for everyone, and we have back-dated everyone to the start of that program at 71% (keeps the database programming simple). Some models will see an extra few dollars on their next payment, so don't panic.

We're still trying to straighten out CMD the same way. When we get it figured out, the flat 71% will be backdated to at least the beginning of September for everyone. Most models are already on this rate.

New rules for advances are in effect effect also, that module has been started on the old back end. Overdraft charges, bank re-drafts, and small claims court filings are now pretty much on autopilot. They are still zero-fee and zero-interest for those that use them as intended - as a ready source of extra funds for working through sudden emergencies. Using advances to take a paid "I need to sort through my issues" vacation will end extremely badly.

Website accounting database is on hold until further notice. The cure is far more expensive than the disease for that.

Quick question about Cams.com percentage through Boleyn. How much of the 29% do we get when we cam on cams through the BoleynModels studio?

KatyBoleyn
09-16-2015, 02:20 PM
26.2% out of 29.2%. ~90% payout.

-------------------------------------------

A few short announcements:

Streamate for Tier II (Romanians/Colombians/etc.) is now open for business. We'll be populating the studio over the weekend and approvals for all new models there should be expedited by Monday. Payout is 26% - 30% (~87-100% site payout), taking the "Camathon Bonus" into effect.

Note that we do thorough Skype interviews for non-US clients before we can make your first payment, so be prepared. If you claim to be a cammodel, but claim not to have a webcam, its a little fishy. Our customer service does speak fluent Romanian to assist you if needed.

Kink on F4F will be available next week sometime. Payouts will be 28% (105% of F4F base rate). Transfers will (theoretically) be available in all kinds of ways (F4F to us, F4F to Kink, Kink to us, us to Kink, etc).

what percentage do we get off of cam4?

KatyBoleyn
09-16-2015, 05:39 PM
I think Cam4 falls under the same as MFC, CB, etc. 45%. Also, if you're new to Cam4, you get the hourly-rate bonus promo thing they have going on.

I think they do have a "cash out when you want" on that site, but the delay is 3-6 business days with certain minimums, so you can weigh your options with the daily pay through us. We did start a deal with getting a higher percent so we could do the full 50% for daily pay (which would make switching models over from lower paying token sites a lot easier "sell"), but the ball got dropped somewhere in their court and we never heard back.

Direct pay was a re-branding of the weekly pay thing we tried for a minute...going away because it was confusing a lot of things all for a very few models (2 or 3 out of hundreds) that were actually on it. It was kind of a relic back when things were different on the sites, but we've gotten pretty good deals and agreements on almost all sites with letting models go and keeping their accounts intact, so the original reasons to have it were gone.

Daily pay is still the centerpiece of our program, not going away.

Not sure what "camathon forever" would mean for leaving :) But no, it doesn't mean that. Its a way of bumping up our average payouts a point or two now that we have the volume to support it, but in a way that gets people on cam and increases their own volume.

KatyBoleyn
09-21-2015, 07:38 AM
We're still tinkering with the Streamate weekly bonus - it looks like 7 days a week is a bit of a high bar. Very few models made it this week, sooooo....

New rules:

It is now simple doubling of 2nd lowest day you see for the week. This means effectively you only need 6 out of 7 days worked to get the bonus, but it must also add up to 15+ hours for that week (should be an easy bar if you're working 6 days).

This is effective immediately and applies to both the tier I and tier II Streamate studios. We're hoping to triple the bonuses this week.

Note, Skype is messed up but still functional for support...keep poking both addresses if you don't get a response within a few minutes.

We've had a lot of general issues with non-US models signing up lately so we'd like to make a few things clear.

* We check our payments by hand. This means we spot fraud that more automated systems can't, and spot it faster. Going through us adds an additional layer of scrutiny, not protection from being caught.
* We are not interested in "looking the other way so we both get rich", we make adequate money from legitimate means. Safety and service (for all parties) are our top priorities, the money follows from this.
* We will do a cam check before we pay you anything. We're very brief, professional, and friendly - it's nothing to worry about.
* We will NOT pay to a Payoneer or Paxum account that doesn't have your name on it. Ever. Period. We will happily help you make one as needed.
* Large sudden payments will be held for checking, at least until a baseline earnings pattern can be established.
* If this is not acceptable, we will immediately release you back to the websites for direct payment.

In short, please don't waste our time or yours if you aren't for real. We will not be a party to young girls' identities being exploited by mobsters for their credit card fraud rings, or underage models being switched in to accounts.

However, if you are legitimate you will be given the same high-level of service all our models receive. The extra security we've always had in place should does not inconvenience models that work hard and play by the rules.

These incidents have taken a very big toll on our time and nerves for the last week or so since we opened the Tier II SM studio. I'm hoping the mobster kids get it all out of their system soon, but they just keep coming and getting angrier each time they don't get their way.

---------------------------------
Pentru modelele non-SUA sunt cateva reguli care trebuie citite si respectate/tinute minte:

- Noi verificam fiecare plata individual. Asta inseamna ca orice caz de frauda este depistat cu mai multa acuratete decat sistemele automatizate. Studioul nostru poate fi considerat inca un nivel de securitate, nicidecum o patura de protectie cand vine vorba de frauda.
- Nu suntem interesati de modelul: "o mana spala pe cealalta , si toata lumea se imbogateste". Modelul nostru de business este bazat pe legalitate si siguranta. Vom face tot posibilul sa il mentinem la standarde superioare.
- Verificarea video este mandatorie, insotita de actul de indentitate. Nu facem plati daca nu aceasta verificare nu este trecuta.
- Nu facem plati catre conturi de Paxum sau Payoneer care nu sunt pe numele modelului. Prieteni, cumostinte si cainele familie nu conteaza. Daca ai nevoie de un cont cu Payoneer/Paxum te putem ajuta.
- Daca modelul primeste o suma mare pentru un show (in special cand este vorba de un model nou); suma respectiva nu va fi platita pana nu este verificata (cu site-ul de unde vine)
- Daca modelul nu este de acord cu regulile noastre, vom incheia colaborarea si modelul va fi liber(a) sa profeseze independent.

Acestea fiind spuse, noi vom oferi acelasi servicii de calitate pentru orice model, indiferent din ce parte a lumii vine. Am adoptat aceste masuri ca sa putem pastra siguranta tuturor la nivel maxim.

Quick note - CB is having issues again cashing out tokens (we had no record last night), but this matter usually resolves itself within a day or two. If you have immediate need of money and you have pending tokens/earnings on Chaturbate, let us know and we'll resolve this on a case-by-case basis.

Yes, Thursdays we always push to the last possible minute for payments, generally this means a 2pm CST cutoff and a payment time by 3pm for direct deposit people.

Our site is currently getting a security upgrade. It will probably block you out for the next few hours, give us some time to get it configured and working properly.

^^ is there a cutoff for site signups btw? I know there is a whole lot of KYC stuff you guys need like ID's etc and I realised today that I haven't actually officially done anything yet. Is everything up and running at the moment? besides the security thing

KatyBoleyn
09-24-2015, 08:29 PM
Everything is back to normal, we're securing the front end because we're preparing to scrap that dashboard. For now it's still perfectly functional for signups and changing your payment info.

For KYC requirements...we know you're a cammodel (and we did do a Skype call for one of your signups) and you already have a solid work history with us so the requirements are met. The guidelines are extremely loose (concrete ones are non-existent actually), but the main idea of Know Your Client is so we can say "Yes, we're pretty sure this person is not a mobster or terrorist and we've taken reasonable precautions before we gave them money." The ID requirement, in addition to being a good idea, is actually put on us by Payoneer.

I must have missed it in either a newsletter or this thread, but what's the deal with the Tier I/II SM studios you mentioned Katy? Feel free to just let me know where the details are!

Also, how is your writing/blogging side project coming along? Just curious cause in your (July?) newsletter I thought it was a fantastic idea and I can't wait to see how it's implemented. :)

KatyBoleyn
09-28-2015, 09:10 AM
Tier I is anything where SM pays a base 35% (USA, Canada, most of western Europe, etc.)
Tier II is anywhere that SM pays a base 30% (Romania, Russia, most of Asia and Africa, and a few others)

If its a new country we haven't worked with, we try tier I and if it fails transfer to tier II. They are technically two different studios. We've had exactly 1 legitimate tier II signup out of about 15 signups causing constant drama and burning our business relationships with the sites, so we're starting to understand the differential. At least word got out that we're not to be messed with, but I also think this may make legit signups from those countries shy away.

The website thing has been a long slug, but we're finally pointed in the right direction. The blogging thing will follow. Priority is right now on the forms system, which is entirely inadequate. Once upon a time we had it where everyone was given customized instructions when they filled things out and now they barely get an email saying "hello". The blogging thing, as well as a forum and a few other perks will come later after we undo the damage that was done over the last 6-7 months by our Indian crew. They did leave us some nice things to salvage, and the lessons learned can only help in the future.

On the upside, regular recruiting has surged and there are a TON of new signups (and most of them are doing very well in the post-SM drama environment).

Newsletter will come out after we lock down a few other issues we're solving and we have some "final answers" to give. Preliminary is that KinkLive/F4F will probably remain not worth the time or effort, dashboard will go away but be replaced by a much better system, Streamate bonus program is iterating towards our goals, Xbiz award for "Progressive Website" nomination, some lessons learned on fraud incidents in the last few weeks, and hubby might put together some stats on sites.


------------

Also SM bonuses were processed this morning...under the newer rules we managed to get closer to our payout targets and it looks like the motivation experiments will continue. We have to find the sweet spot to where it's motivating without being "out of reach."

Current rules are:
* Earnings for at least 6 out of 7 days.
* We double the second lowest payout and pay on Monday.
* Must work at least 15 hours.

We're thinking of adding an additional perk or bonus for those that keep their rates above 3.99/minute.

This is probably a dumb question, but do you follow streamate days, or Boleyn Model days? Asking because I'll lose two days if I don't cam until tuesday evening based on streamate time, but I'll only lose one if I don't cam again till tuesday evening based on Boleyn Model pay cut off time. Not sure how to explain, hope that makes sense lol :P Not sure I'll make it this week anyway, but asking for future weeks!

KatyBoleyn
09-28-2015, 07:06 PM
It goes by Streamate time. Our system doesn't actually parse by days, only by pay period, so we have to run the bonus script against SM's weird time cutoffs.
