Just a heads up for those who are models on Cams and didn't see my other post in the Cams thread...apparently you're in violation of their rules if you use splitcamming software (such as ManyCam) on there. SMH.

"Dear Model,

Thank you for contacting us.

Your account was in violation of one or more of the following:

* Use On-Screen-Displays that advertise other sites or programs such as webcam splitters (ManyCam.com)

You should have already received an email warning. If you or your models continue to ignore our warnings, we will have no alternative but to take more aggressive actions. This may include TERMINATION of the account.

Please Note: Any suspension may cause a delay of payment, as payments cannot be processed on suspended accounts. Furthermore, a continuation of misconduct will ultimately result in termination of the account and all earnings will be forfeited.

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us again.


Regards,

Michael L.
Streamray Customer Service Dept."


Not that I've been actively camming lately, but damn when I try to get back to logging in, I get a violation just for splitcamming with another site (ImLive). Sheesh. I didn't even know that's against the rules on Cams. You learn something new everyday, huh? I'll probably end up closing my Cams account and keeping my ImLive one. They get on my nerves, and it's too much work having to go through all of my Cams random snapshots (stored in the Nude Photos album) to delete the bad pics they keep taking of me. And you can barely blink your eyes on that site without them trying to issue you a "no sleeping" violation. Lol.

I got the same warning and also got one for making sure I'm on cam at all times when I literally was out of shot for maybe 30 seconds when I first logged on because I forgot to hit the stop broadcast button right away because every other system you have to actually press begin broadcast.

It's not about the splitcamming...its about the watermark that the free version of ManyCams puts on your feed.

So far as I know Cams.com could care less about splitcamming.

However, they are happy to spam us to death with "model violations" every time you bend down off cam to pick something off the floor.

Quick question Katy,
I tried to follow your signature link so I could vote for your company and it keeps shooting me to a log in page for xbiz.net. Is there an easier way for us to vote for you guys without having to sign up for an xbiz industry member page?

KatyBoleyn
09-30-2015, 05:51 AM
Not sure, Xbiz is just a basic mailing list with some occasionally useful stuff so it's not that bad. Right now they're in "nominations" phase so not sure what will happen when they open up to voting.

Small announcement before it becomes totally a thing - we have a clips site willing to customize a bit to work with us:

www.IWantClips.com

Create your account normally there, and in the referral field put "BoleynModels"

If you already have an account there, simply let their support (skype, phone, or email) that you would like it put under BoleynModels. Rates are 65% for clips, ~70% for tributes, ~93% for custom videos made to order.

Open to all existing BoleynModels, just send us an email saying who you are on there when you transfer. There may be some quirks or tiny delays while we get everything running smoothly, so this is a beta test for willing victims until "official" newsletter announcement and signup forms.

sorry if this is already answered here but i cant find it...on cams/streamray the amount we see on our dash is that the amount we will get or do you still have to take your % and if so how do we calculate that

KatyBoleyn
10-02-2015, 03:10 PM
We calculate it at 25.2/29.2*what is showing.

Note that not everything you earn shows up for us immediately if you are on the tier program, those little differences are reconciled at the end of the pay period until they fix their stuff.

Quick question

For CMD % how much do we get? Whenever I try to calculate it myself I always get the amount wrong

KatyBoleyn
10-03-2015, 09:01 AM
Its a flat 71% of customer spending. Mark seems to send random amounts of money to us also for the total payment so we really aren't sure ourselves. We just track your customer spending by email and do 71% of that. If you're a very high earner on that site ($1200+/month regularly) we can work out customized deals.

Alylondon
10-03-2015, 04:16 PM
So its 71% out of the 75% or out of the 100%? Sorry math isn't my strong suit

Issabelle
10-03-2015, 04:42 PM
So its 71% out of the 75% or out of the 100%? Sorry math isn't my strong suit

I haven't worked CMD for a few months, but it was always out of the 100% when I did. So, 71% of every dollar the customer spends instead of the 75% CMD pays to non-studio peeps.

Dear Canadian BoleynModels:

I just signed up for BoleynModels and I see under payment options that I have the option of using Paxum and I have never used them before. Would you recommend using Paxum over Payoneer?

KatyBoleyn
10-04-2015, 11:03 AM
Just wanted to say WOW. Between the bonus program on SM being tweaked and Audritwo's helpful kick in the ass, we had a record week on SM...as well as record payouts on the bonuses. We had a model hit over 34% for her effective payout, and several others close behind. Also, its nice to see over half the models in the top 20 are BoleynModels at select times of day :)

----------
As for Paxum, we have several Canadians happy with their system - it does involve keeping two "current accounts" with them and transferring the money between, then depositing to your bank (or their VISA card). The fees are tiny and the exchange rate is generally very favorable, and we cover any fees we can on our end. For daily payments it can save you hundreds of $ per year vs. the other payment option, but its also less convenient to use.

Pretty much this. I recommend having a second payment method (Payoneer, mainly) on file with Katy. When I lost my paxum card (an ATM ate it) I ordered a replacement and it took 8 weeks to arrive and cost $45 to order. Like, really? It takes $.50 to transfer from your chequings to visa which is kind of annoying. It also isn't stable on mobile and will keep refreshing if you try to transfer between accounts or really do anything.

I say try it out, see what you like better, but keep your Payoneer account open just in case.

I made some money on Thursday and have yet to receive my payment, but I got an email from Wells Fargo saying it was sent but won't be here until Tuesday. Is this because of the holiday? I expected the money on Friday so I'm a little confused.

Also, I'm trying to get a new Streammate account opened but haven't gotten an email back from you guys yet - should I just send another??

Thanks so much! :)

It would be, because of the banking holiday. I use the same bank.

Well, it depends. If you're a WF account holder, then there shouldn't have been a delay because BM uses WF and WF does not observe Columbus Day (one of the few banks that is open, actually).

If you're NOT a WF account holder (or one of the other two-ish banks open), then there would have been a delay, yes, due to the holiday.

KatyBoleyn
10-11-2015, 11:25 PM
We'll attempt to make payments tomorrow. However, on Friday when we made payments they wouldn't allow us to set any date before Tuesday arrival - it was completely grayed out. All payments to other banks than ours must still go through the ACH, which isn't functional on banking holidays whether that bank is open or not. WF people still should have received their pay Friday evening.

And to clarify, just because its a banking holiday doesn't mean we keep your money :) You will still be paid on the next available pay date.

Newsletter is slightly delayed pending some more testing we're doing on internet connectivity. We got a pretty good tip on some ISP nastiness regarding issues people are having on SM, IMLive, and Cams.com and we're making sure the facts are straight on it.


Also, I'm trying to get a new Streammate account opened but haven't gotten an email back from you guys yet - should I just send another??

Thanks so much! :)

Your account is approved and ready to Stream at any time. Send us an email if you can't log in.

I have a quick question (sorry if it has been asked previously).

If I sign up for a SM account through your studio, but decide down the road that I'd like to have my SM account no longer under the studio, is it possible to break away and retain my account/ratings? I know a couple sites are wonky about switching back and forth, so I wanted to make sure it was ok before I made an account.

Thanks so much!

This is still so weird to me. I had to call them about my business account Friday and asked in passing if they were limiting service at all Monday and was told that all services were as normal. Totally minor inconvenience, but still weird to me.

It is technically a Federal holiday-- so even if your bank branch is open, the ACH is not in operation, therefore, no ACH deposits can be made. All direct deposits in the US clear the ACH before going from bank to bank.

Its the same procedure going backwards basically, so long as you're going to an independent account. You would close the one with our studio and re-open your old account (or create a new independent account), and I think favorites should transfer the other way as well. Its this way now because its easier on Liz, and it allows you to do it again later if you change your mind and come back on our program (we had a lot of recidivism that was causing havoc with Liz as well). TL;DR is that you would have an indy account and BoleynModels account, and you can close one and open the other - so long as you only have 1 open at a time and you don't switch "too often" (we interpreted as once every few months).

What is the minimum amount we have to make to get a deposit in our account?

KatyBoleyn
10-12-2015, 12:02 PM
For direct deposit, $12. For Payoneer and Paxum, default is $50 but you can set it for as low as $20. This is across all sites you work, not the individual sites.

I'm fixing to sign up with chaturbate but I was wondering if I could sign up with them as a solo account first and then later make a couples account? How does that work with them? Also if I create a couples account, would I still have my solo account that I could perform on too?

Girly_Girl
10-12-2015, 04:01 PM
One other question. How is the sign up process with them? Can I sign up with them and then transfer over to the daily pay? Is that allowed?

KatyBoleyn
10-12-2015, 04:29 PM
They don't like it and they'll mess with you a bit.

In our signup forms area on the site we have the direct link to signup on CB under BoleynModels. When you go to the link it looks like their normal site, but if you proceed to sign up your account will be with us.

You may do this for as many CB accounts as you like, just be sure we know who you are by filling out the form (I think its like 2 blanks to fill in) so we can credit each one to your payment account.

KatyBoleyn
10-15-2015, 11:52 AM
As far as CB cares, they are two completely different accounts. I'm not sure if you can change between couple and single as far as your profile, but if you are broadcasting as a couple then both of you have your ID's uploaded.

The safer way is to make a Solo and Couples account, and you are free to link one or both to BoleynModels by making the account through the CB signup link on our site. For best results, cut and paste the link into your browser, as some browser security settings don't like the excessive garbage on the link needed for affiliate tracking.

Oh, wow, I use direct deposit, and always thought the minimum for that was $20 like it was when I used Payoneer.

Oh, wow, I use direct deposit, and always thought the minimum for that was $20 like it was when I used Payoneer.

The "official policy" is still $20, but in practice we've been dropping it as our bank fees go down with volume. Currently its set for $12.

Also, the newsletter is still delayed for a bit. Thanks to someone's persistence it looks like AT&T throttling issues were ironed out, so a few models should see an overall boost in streaming to several sites.

The SM bonus program is starting to shake itself out also, so we're about to revamp it...lots of games theory to analyze and we've got some good test cases - it met our goals for about 2 weeks (quite a few almost hitting the theoretical 35%, and their earnings skyrocketed) - and then crashed when models burned themselves out and cut their hours for the entire week (basically stopped working) when they couldn't get the bonus they wanted. This meant undoing their previous work when it came to placement and dropping their income overall. We'll let it run for another 2 weeks and then back to the drawing board.

So we got a little more thinking to do before we make any official announcements, but its coming...

when working on sm am i still getting their traffic and using their servers i am not making much at all:(

Set up a consult with us, we'll figure it out if there's anything technical or related going on. This week has been a slow week - paid percent is still strong across the board (holding up at the same levels as the last 3-4 weeks), just a lot of models cut their hours considerably for some reason. We blame burnout for those trying to max their bonuses the last 2 weeks, so we need to figure out something that scales better. The current one actually scales extremely well, its just that psychologically it sticks as "all or nothing."

Not a new camgirl but back under a different name, about to sign up again, I'm mainly a streamate girl, but wondering if, based on the last couple posts... Is it better to sign up directly under this studio vs. having a SM account and then going to BG? I need to make money, whether I get paid daily isn't a requirement, so I'm just asking (Sorry if it seems rude) is it honestly more beneficial for me, as a relatively experienced cam girl (Switched names due to privacy issues... AGAIN) would I just be better off going the basic SM route vs. crappy placement/traffic via BG? BG sounds very lovely, everyone seems wonderful and friendly, but I'm just trying to be realistic and get answers -- I have to sign up and get on track quick here so just wondering how others are feeling before I commit.

KatyBoleyn
10-17-2015, 07:36 AM
If you don't put in the hours when you switch to the BoleynModels account then your placement and % will be different than your original account. There is literally no other difference. Models that are "surfing" on their long-term placement and then switch will need to take a few days and really work the new account to get everything back to what they are used to. We do regularly have 50-60% blackouts of the top 10 and 20 models on the SM front page - to include brand new models in their 1st day or 2, and about 10 models that regularly sit in the top 3. SM's placement matrix is extremely dynamic at the moment also, its not that your placement drops, but if you barely work for months then everyone else's goes past you. Competition just increases, there's more models than ever and its a different game from even 6 months ago.

SM puts a strong emphasis on your regular working hours spent...if you sign up and take a 4-5 month vacation and come back to work just a few hours, your paid percent will be down. That "time online" stat is a big deal, but the good news is that it caps out around 15 hours/week. Do that consistently for 2-3 weeks, and you will see 1st-page placement if all other things are normal.

The best we can do as a studio is look at your work history, all your tech, your hustle, and work on any site- or tech- issues we find and encourage people to get those hours in to get and keep their long-term placement.

If you are considering working as a new model, and feel you may need daily pay or our other services in the future, then it is best to start and build your background with us. Switching to BoleynModels only right when you need to (need an advance, need an income letter, need legal or other backup, tax help, bans lifted, daily pay, etc) doesn't work out real well because most of our benefits are based on your history with us. Getting back on track with accounts and pay can also take 2 days to a full week during the switch, depending on the site.

Switching and immediately asking for these things (or switching and disappearing for months) means we can't help you overly much. Its not that we don't want to, and we do what we can, but without a history to look at our options are limited. Daily pay starts immediately, but pretty much everything else we do is based on your records we can see. Also note that its not about income or playing favorites, you will get identical service whether you make $20 a week or $3000...its just that your advance amounts and income letters will reflect this.

I know on streamate it never mattered if i worked every day or every three weeks i was always on page one and always had traffic always so you are telling me that since i have not worked that much that as a studio you are not giving me traffic or placement because of that? i dont have two or three weeks to wait for placement or traffic that is just wrong ! i was doing great anytime until i switched and i had no idea there were "requirements" besides me paying the 5 percent when i signed up i was told that that was all there was! as i said i like the daily pay but i mean if i have to go back to waiting for money i guess that would be better than having zero traffic and sitting on page 3 i have been 1st page even lost a star was still on page one since i started i have not been on page three since 2013!! i mean i guess i will go on tonight and see what happens i didnt know that you guys controlled my placement but i also know that being sick and getting back on streamate never hurt me in the past ever i was actually given a lot of traffic and made at least 20 dollars an hour on bad days i just cant with this 3 dollars an hour crap anymore i thought it was my equipment because when i signed on with you my big computer went out so i was reduced to a laptop with an amd shitty processor so i just gave up because every time i tried to work i made nothing and had complaints with freezing and my laptop just sometimes would not let me start the encoder. So i finally spent almost all my savings from dancing years ago and knew i needed to work sick or not so i go out drop the rest of it on equipment i have like 58 dollars right now and i am about to lose everything i have my thing is before switching i would have been first page regardless and i would not be this worried right now so if you can put me back to the first page i mean anytime i asked streamate to they did!! because they realized it was a glitch on their part and i belonged on the first page ! im not asking for loans or anything like that i like that if i need a letter it is there but i need my traffic and my placement im giving it one more go for this weekend but if my hourly is not back at 20 and 30 which is where i stayed at for two years and it should be more using 720 then i guess i will have to try something else because this is not the normal for me thanks

Current bonus program for Streamate: We double your second lowest day for the week, provided you also have at least 15 hours (900 minutes) online.

As for the other issues you mentioned, we can go through those step-by-step. Your first goal should be to get those stars back though (beg, blackmail, and threaten custies to rate you!), being away long enough to lose them does really hurt.

Also, to be perfectly clear, studios do NOT have a direct influence on your placement or traffic. They can make rules so that you "play to the placement matrix", but that's how its done...there's no magic button we push or request we make to give you placement. You're stuck playing by the same rules as everyone else, and there is a lot more "everyone else" currently. Not everyone can be first page all the time, the math just doesn't work. As Streamate becomes more transparent with the placement system, both studios and independent models are getting smarter about gaming it. The best we can do is tell you how to do that also, but we can't force you to work or listen to us.

Also note that "favorites" have an expiration date...900 from 5-6 months ago means a large fraction are long gone from the site and shouldn't be counted on at all, and quite a few that remain regular spenders have likely found new playmates in that time. That's also from the small fraction of those that favorited you that actually are spenders.

For best placement you need:
- 900 minutes each week, without abusing your break button too much.
- Computer and camera that can run the recommended encoder settings smoothly
- Minimum 2mb upload speed and solid latency, no short-cutting with hotspots that can be throttled.
- 5 stars rating, meaning 5 different customers have rated you 5 stars...easy to maintain once you get it.
- Attitude and hustle that invites new customers to spend money (converts new traffic)

Things you should check:
- Your ISP messing with you. SM is getting blamed for a lot of internet provider shenanigans.
- Your internet. Speedtest.net is NOT adequate to determine good internet. Tracert is your friend.
- SM category placement. Sometimes you aren't showing in your chosen categories properly, but this can be corrected.
- Geo-blocking issues. Did you turn it on or off recently?
- Are you getting your 900 minutes in?
- Do you look like your ID photo or your glamour shot when on cam?
- Are you getting tag trolled?
- Do you have good key words in your profile? Some nice pics to look at?
- Are you being maybe too quick with the boot button?
- Does your static pic reflect how you currently look? Guys don't like it when the picture on the box doesn't match the contents.
- Is your camming area free of distractions...no chaos for the custies to focus on? Clean room, etc.
- How many other models are on right now?
- Is your schedule regular or random? Did you fill it in?
- Are you reminding custies to rate you after a show?

Things that don't matter much:
- Older favorites
- Common or generic tags
- Obscure tags
- Comments
- Rates
- Dressing up or down
- Most times of day, most days of the week

i dont get traffic to convert sadly but my customers have not found new girls that i know is a fact because before july they were visiting me i could go months without seeing them they would always at least pop in to say hello i was never gone from the site if u look back i worked every month whether it was one day a few days or ten minutes! and yes it is possible to be on the first page all the time because i was for two years straight!!! even not working i was on two years straight!! in 4 hours i had like 4 people to my room that is just not right but i do know that it is possible to always be on page one and if i can't get back there then im going to lose all my shit !! my computer has definitely not paid for itself in a week or two like the monthly email you guys sent said it should i am doing everything right on my end!! i have no traffic in my room to do anything with i know streamate does not move girls around that often they dont take page ones and throw them to page 3 or 4 they move spots around thats it ! some days i was bottom row but most i was in the middle i even made it to the second row quite a few times! you don't go from that to page 3 well at least i do not anyway! like i said giving it this weekend to see how it all plays out if i do not make the money i need then my internet will be gone next week because i won't be able to pay it i have never gotten a bill cut off ever !! and working streamate before my bills were always ahead never late ! i remember camming on a friends wifi doing this and streamate bought me great internet and now im losing it and that is not right ! i worked ten hours this week alone because either i got kicked off a million times which never happened before and could not work or my room was dead like no people at all dead ! and streamate says not to work if its slow it will kill your percentage and i really don't know why you said that the small percent of my favoriters were actually spenders that kind of hurts because every day on streamate i had new guys like every single day i never even had to rely on customers they were just extra! i do feel like there may be some type of favortism going on because i worked my ass off to get to the first page i mean i literally sat for 15 and 18 hours a day when i started and i should keep that placement so long as everything stays the same and it was ! i do not think it is fair for me to have to go through that again i already earned that placement and streamate apparently believed that because i was always page one ! if streamate can keep me on page one then why do u guys switch us around? r u telling me sometimes i will be on the backpages ?
