For me..... this is a recent development with the music. I use to be able to play anything with the exception of the American Graffiti soundtrack or like country music. lol I've actually picked up a decent amount of regulars because we bonded over what music I was playing. I use to ALWAYS insist on playing music too as I thought it would prevent getting recorded. LOL It did not.

What music you play actually matters more than people give it credit for, in my experience. I don't play anything that anyone could possibly have any strong dislike towards, so no dubstep, edm, country, hip hop, metal, screamo, punk, pop, NONE of it. I stick to super chill music that would probably get played in a coffee shop. Stuff that could blend into the background instead of being distracting. (I hear from a lot of models they also have luck with classic rock, so like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Who).
I care less about being "myself" online and more about casting the widest net possible so I can make as much money as quickly as possible, so I try to do very little that will alienate people outright.
Like I know I personally could never stay in a room where dubstep was playing because I can't stand it. How many members could possibly feel the same? Better to play something "neutral" that you won't lose members over and wait to listen to what you like when you aren't online.
Just my opinion on it.

The potential members thing that shows up top. Not the actual people who enter the room. I don't spend a great deal of time watching it but it fluctuates.

I rarely have more than 5 people in my actual chatroom at one time.
Same here. It pisses me off that SM added that counter, because I usually have a large number in there compared to my actual chat room.

Depends on the genre of EDM, the country, and the age of the guy you're targeting. And time of the day. I get a lot of compliments on my 90s rave parties on weekends, especially from UK/EU guys in their late 30s - early 40s. Stuff like Orbital. US guys in the same age bracket don't react to it the same way, I guess rave didn't hit the US until later. Heavier dubstep with a ton of bass draws broke youths and scares the daddies, and tbh it makes me want to bop around like a fool rather than get my sex vixen on. D&B is hit and miss, goa trance is too out there for some of them, but makes me happy, so I stick some on now and again.
On weeknights I tend to go for smoother, more melancholy/languorous 80s/90s tunes, like Portishead, or even Depeche Mode.

^^ I used to play baby boomer music to attract the older, richer crowd and it totally worked. 60's to 80's rock was especially lucrative. Also, anime/gaming music is very powerful to get the rich coders/gamers. LOL. Think about the demographic you want to attract and then play the music they like.

Absolutely this.
While we're on the topic, anyone have any tips for making my music sound amazing? Do you play it out of speakers and let your mic pic up what it can, or is there a trick I'm missing?

I'd play chillstep quite happily. I cammed all last summer to psy chill, psybient and downtempo, and as long as they don't have really glitchy, scratchy samples or weird vocals lecturing about expanding your consciousness or whatever, it should be OK.

I just got hit again recently with the FPS/bitrate dropping glitch and I'm so frustrated because I was wondering why the room was quiet etc. but it's been so long since that glitch plagued me I forgot all about it. Then I was messing with the FMLE encoder to change my streaming cam and when I logged on just happened to be glancing at it... bitrate 1200 and FPS 19-22 depending on what it feels like doing at any given time. Grrrrrrr I'm pissed but at least it explains the deadness and it's all on SM's side as I now have super fast hardwired internet with speeds of 15-19Mbps upload to go with my new killer tech setup, soooooo FUCK YOU SM!

Be flattered. I feed off the trolls who try to fuck with my money. If i hear about it, i come back and work 10x harder. They dont mess with me as much... lol. Its the competitve personality in me!! :D maybe u should try it. Plus it pisses jealous model off even more in return.
And another thing... ive never understood the models who waste time in top performers rooms WAITING for the smallest infraction lol. I have only reported people who are openly fucking their vag in free chat because thats not cool. But other than that, who has time to watch others like that? If i peep im in and out lol.

So a guy gave me a 4 star 2 weeks ago. I asked them to remove it as I always have a perfect 5 star or they just don't rate me at all. I rarely get 1 star, although I don't get as many guys as you gals do.
Anyway, I was sick for 12 days & wasn't working. I noticed that it's decreased from the 5, so initially after the 4 star I think (can't be sure) it dropped to 4.69 & then yesterday it's down to 4.67. WTF?
I even wrote them a 2nd time on Friday asking them to remove the 4 star. They have clearly ignored me since I didn't get a response via e-mail, but out of spite they lowered it down even more?
Is that normal?

What do you mean ' that many animals?'
I had 2 tiny dogs, both under 10 pounds?
It was my friend that had lots of animals that I gave them to.
My apt was small. And putting them in the bathroom didn't work, because they would bark and disturb my neighbors.

I am on the middle of page 4 today (when checking myself from UK, haven't tried other servers). I bet I am way lower for US currently because I can't seem to broadcast with FMLE Encoder with splitter. It works with the main source, a Logitech cam but not if I am splitting. Anyway, I've done them all from reboots, reinstalls and everything in between. Waiting for a more detailed answer from my Rep.
FFS, I think it's an update for Adobe or Verysoft Splitter, either one.
If somebody encountered this also, may let me know. =^_^=
Waiving to you from the 4th page or who knows which one I am now and letting you now that there's so much peace and silence there, not even beggings...

Wow, you're fast. I read here a lot about OBS. I shall try it now. Coming with updates soon. Many thankssss :)
EDIT: Yes, it totally works with OBS. Done the settings and it recognizes my spliter feed. Unfortunately, now am on page 5. I'll deal with the rankings tomorrow.
LATER EDIT: I slowly upped till page 2. Yes, wow, thanks again PhatGirlDynomite.
Hi babes, do u guys use the new SMB version? I just updated here and Optimized it (new name for calibration) & got Best quality but now its eating up my CPU bloody hell! It goes soo high like 65% minimum but then goes up to 80% on my i5 desktop pc. I think i'll revert back to previous version, damn it! I only run SM & prefer the SMB but this newest version is CPU killer!
Edited to add: i wonder if having Best as streaming quality helps with ranking or not really?! I am at 4 and a half stars now & down in the listings cause i got several 1 star ratings lately & SM wont remove them even i shown them proof that people just went in to rate me bad, i feel this is from the competition (even in my siggy here says 'there is no competition' looks like others consider me their competitor), cant be i suck soo bad all of a sudden after being on this site as a 5 star model for many years now. I am pissed :(

I am soooo gutted that I attempted to use OBS on this site yesterday after seeing it mentioned again on the forum and... it completely tanked my placement to page 2/3 (took nearly 2 hours to get back to the top row that is not normal) plus the ranking page told me I wasn't streaming in HD or widescreen :(
Did I have the settings configured wrong? I don't know. I intend to peruse the OBS thread on the forum and see if I can work it out.
I loved the interface etc. of OBS though and that I could use Manycam splitcam with it's zoom and scrolling text across the stream. As I said gutted I hope I can get it to work, I want to use it.

Eventually when he swapped from public chat to Exclu, I found out. Happened to me the second time, and who knows how many times I wasn't aware of...or being told about it.

If you're running into issues with latest Sm broadcast don't put off working. Try using Adobe's FMLE or OBS. I try to post this ever so often hoping more people will see it, the encoder that works best for you will depend on your equipment plus the stability of your internet. Results will vary from person to person. Also I feel confident in saying that the the only way to make money is by using the SM Broadcast is false.

OBS stands for Open Broadcast Software. Its a lightweight encoder often used by gamers. I personally prefer the OBS classic because its very straightforward and simplistic. You can find both the studio version and the classic here, scroll down for the classic version if that's the one you want
https://obsproject.com/download
A thread going over tips on how to use OBS can be found here.

It usually takes longer for my ratings to be removed, if I just send them to support.

Seriously SM get rid of the star ratings (or at least hide from customers). They can already comment after the show, and can tag without buying (also bs). The stars are redundant.

SM is a dumpster fire this week and I think there are glitches but honestly who the fuck knows.
Last week I did amazing, hit all my goals and everything was great. This week I have no traffic, no one talking, and no one joining goldshows even though I'm in the top row.
A lot of my shows are ending in user connection issue or whatever the shit that alert says, and I'm getting FRUSTRATED.
I logged out two hours early bc you can only say "hi" so goddamn long with no one saying a single thing back before you start getting on your own nerves.
When I check my own room or any other models room they all look fine though, soooo I don't know what the deal is.

I was on SM for an hour today and literally blocked half the people who came into my room. I can usually still get shows when its slow but the quality of this traffic was terrible. Four different people came into my room expecting free shit/emotional labor because it was their "birthday". Going to go work on some other sites for a bit and then try SM again later. I hope everyone else is having a better day with SM!
