Today was pretty good, money wise but one guy kept getting disconnected from exclusive (he tried coming back 3 times only to be booted a couple minutes later) then he goes private, I'm assuming he thought he might have better luck in there but was booted again when he tried to turn on his cam. Then another guy told me I was freezing in private and another was able to stay in but his camera froze. I didn't tell him it happened though because I didn't want him to start logging off and back on to keep trying.

How come during contests we see models who do not work regularly with good/great placement?( when you work regularly, you notice these things). SM says placement is based on last 30 days stats. Do all of these models belong to studios ( Noticed that KBG studio models always get decent placement).

Most of these models are logging in every week or so to keep their placement up. If you're in the 30-50,000+ followers range, getting a couple of 5 star shows in a few minutes is pretty easy to do. There are no special deals with studios for placement.

And a slight correction to above where someone mentioned earnings. SM's placement matrix could care less about your earnings. They want conversions and attraction to the site. A client that is already established and spending money isn't what they're after with placement. Placement is for attracting NEW clients. If you convert, you get placed higher. The things they say they want for placement are about half the story...those things lead to conversions. The top row models are not necessarily the highest earners on the board. You can be in the bottom half with a few whales and out-earn the more popular models. Being more popular does lead to more earnings, of course, but its not necessarily the other way around.aq

Well if that's how it's gonna be. Time to get back on Skype.

I'm not going to get into the conspiracy theory thing but I will say that I have had quite a few guys say they have clicked on my room and been redirected to another models room and its almost always during a gold show. Every time it's been a popular model who's streaming at that moment which is statically unlikely considering the large amount of models on SM. In no way shape or form am I saying that these ladies know about it or have anything to do with it in anyway but something is strange on SMs end.

Was glad to see you address these "concerns", I figured that SM placed a very high value on conversion rate, what business wouldn't? Also somewhere up above someone was concerned with models changing names for new model status. My thoughts are that alot of the models are like me and have seen the value in joining Boleyn models, and when you do that you have to create a new name. Perhaps less being concerned with conspiracy just get online and work, convert members, do your thing. Yes I get that the #smglitch is frustrating... but if you want to survive... or thrive then you must adapt.

I have made it to the 3rd row and I don't like it..lol.. Gives me to much anxiety! and EVERYONE is watching you!... Customers, cam girls, your neighbors.. whoever!.. no thanks.. I like being further down the line.. haha


I'm a so called 'top row model' meaning I am on the 1/2 row at all times and I neither earn (what I would consider) 'top model' money or have any idea what the 'secret' is I can assure you. I chalk up my placement to working 8 hours a day every day of my new model status last year and trying to get on every day since - the money is a consequence of spending so many hours of my life online but it's far from easy.

The only thing harder than striving to reach the top is staying there and it's not all rainbows and lemonade up there either.

OT: The chat keeps freezing where guys can see/hear/tip me but the chat log just stops scrolling making everything un-clickable and it's so annoying! It's doing it on every browser too.

What percentage of girls have that 30 to 50k followers? I mean I have been on streamate 2 and a half years and I haven't even broke 3k. I do ok there when I put in the time, but seeing that number makes me re-evaluate what I thought was at least average performance. Streamate has not been my best site lately but I am hoping it will pick up as I put more time in. I was thinking how odd it is that I have WAY more followers on Chaturbate (like 5 times the amount) than I do Streamate in less time. Certainly working on becoming more irresistible to boost that number.

I agree with this! Anytime I have been near the top rows it's been extremely frustrating. My hustle is to ignore the time wasters, and it's so easy to pick them apart when you don't have every freeloader on the internet barking orders at you. I'm happy with mid front page and I'll adjust my rates to keep it that way!

Not everyone is vying to be a top model.

In no way shape or form am I saying that these ladies know about it or have anything to do with it in anyway but something is strange on SMs end.

I try to be as neutral as possible here: i have alot of similar examples myself when members are telling me "i been redirected to another room" or "you had a long pvt, good for u" (i was not even in pvt but in freechat?!) or "you never here, where u been?" (i am online at least 5 days a week, i sometimes tell them i took a break just not to look like a fool u know).

During contests all my traffic consists in people who never spent on me & are not spending while before contests i have visitors who spent on me, i see the numbers and yellow note icons linked to their names.
These all are not coincidence, where is all that traffic going right when the contest started when my room just dies?!
Cause of my location here i work nights and catch the frame time before and after the contest starts at midnite GMT, i see the difference between the traffic i get before contest and after it starts, it's a huge difference in quality and quantity.
I decided not to work during contest cause it'll only hurt my percent in paid.
Why no more repeats during contests but only new people in and out of my room who barely talk and dont spend?

I am sorry some people get offended when some of us come up with theories AND facts, i understand is very difficult for a successful cam model to swallow the idea the site is helping them succeed together with their own effort same like is very difficult for a less successful cam model to swallow the idea that no matter the effort they put in the success is not coming cause they might suck as cam models.

Nobody wants to feel devalued, is a matter of ego, all of us want to be successful and for each of us the truth is relative, subjective, there is no universal or absolute truth but individual truth as we see and feel it with our hearts, emotions, feelings and minds.
Be blessed, all of you, all of us!

^ Actually Katy you are wrong. Since PGD cant take negative threads and what I could say and post receipts would throw this shit in a uproar ...ill just say this.. Sm do give preferred placement to studios like KGB..CamSharks..Sin city Studio and the Studio in Romania . But the placement has to be maintain by bringing in the $$$$. If not then like other non studio models there placement will drop if they cant convert the traffic they are sending them into $$$$. And also "some" top studio owners who are also models on SM placement is guaranteed . That's why you see some models not cam for 6 to 12 mths but as soon as they log in they are in the top 2 rows. The reason why they tell you its no preferred placement is because you are a little to close to SW and also most top studio agreements were put in place in 2010 and 2011.. So don't let the smooth taste fool you. Sm did and do still give preferred placement.

I'm just going say this... the conspiracy thought of paid placement or guarantee placement and being put on bad servers isn't really that crazy or far fetched. If its true its makes sense business wise even though its not exactly fair or right. I mean just look at any other site or business in regards to how they; do business, treat their highest earners or treat advertisers who pay for top spots (like shit have you paid attention to Youtube adpocalypse). Like say if someone was the highest earning car-sale's man or auto technician....it wouldn't be abnormal to see their picture on the wall or have them be referred to you when you walk into those businesses. If an advertiser has enough money or an account earns a company enough money they can pay for a top spot or they at least have the ability to negotiate a top spot or other perks (again Youtube adpocalyse....advertisers were able to get Youtube to change their terms to demonetize and control the earnings of certain videos when its the content creators who are the ones who bring in the audience that drives traffic and revenue to Youtube and to these advertisers.). These conspiracy theories are practices that happen in the vanilla business world all the time.

Computer programming makes anything possible. Just look at how Youtube and Google's algorithm has changed over the years. Look at how the algorithm on SM has changed. When they rolled out the SMB they implemented an algorithm stating that if a model uses it she'll get higher placement but if she uses OBS or Flash Encoder she'll get lower placement. So it isn't that hard to write an algorithm that says if a model makes below $200 a day or insert whatever number put them on server 1, 2, 3. We already know that SM plays favorites its not crazy to think that they may go further and guarantee placement to certain people and companies. That isn't to say that top models don't earn their placement or money. They could simple give certain models that already worked to get to the top guaranteed placement.

We also don't know what contracts other models have. Models that are in their commercials or on other advertisements or who have been on their site from the beginning could very easily have different contracts which may include perks like guaranteed placement. We also know that SM doesn't discuss things with everyone, they have been known to say one thing to one person and something else to another. I mean just look at something as simple as getting the 2 week payment delay removed, increasing per minute rate, getting goldshows, getting the pause button, etc. Models on here have stated that they weren't able to get; the payment delay removed, their prices raised, goldshows, the pause button, etc while others were. Shit there was a time alot of us didn't even know that their was a pause button, static bio pic and that prices could be increased all the way up to $19.99 a minute. All of that is to say that SM isn't and never has been transparent with what they do or say.

I'm not saying that these conspiracy theories are true or false I'm just saying that because of how other businesses run these things aren't impossible or crazy for SM or any other camsite to do. If they do, do them we would never know because SM as well as most camsite or shit any company for that matter isn't transparent. I mean seriously what good would it do them if they admitted to paid placement, guaranteed placement and moving models to shitty servers?

Honestly, guys with no life hanging around trying to steal and beg for our time, attention, and bodies are such pathetic fucking losers. I wish they could see themselves. Imagine lingering by a cash register for half an hour trying to chat up the cashier while she deals with customer after customer, that's how lame and desperate you look assfaces! I am a service provider; we discuss my services, you buy it, I provide it, you leave. If you can't afford nothing, don't be hanging around like a bad smell. This ain't your mom's basement.

I made a account so that I could get to know the site from the members view, and so my husband could chat with me while I work, after not having a members account in years and I put his name, and my credit card info not even thinking about it. Now they say "there is a problem" and to send in a photo ID.
Is it okay for models to have members accounts in there name? At the time I didn't think anything of it but now im iffy because of all the fraud happening.
Also, should I send in my ID (im sure they are just worried about the card being stolen) or his. or even both.

I think it is very sure studio models get higher placement. Thats what they pay for, together with extra promotions. KGB models for example have their faces plastered all over the show recording/tube sites. So the studio indeed sends special traffic to them.

I regret never signing up with a studio. Those girls seem to earn way more, from the numbers that I know of.

I would recommend every new girl to sign up to something like KGB or cam sharks. From what I know those girls earn way more and have to work way less. This independent stuff is good when you are a business minded person but when you're not its just a pain in the ass.

I have a feeling that Id be a lot more successful if I were a studio girl.They get more promotions, better placement, training.

This is interesting. I thought we were unanimously against studios! You make a good argument though. I rarely, if ever, check out the SM pages anymore but its true that when I was new I did notice a lot of the top girls were with studios. I even once saw a studio owner tip a girl 100 into her gold show and its was already over the goal. I thought that was kind of cool as well.

I wouldnt join a studio myself but now Im wondering why YOU couldnt join one? Will they not take you if you already have/had and account???

I am with a studio. There are benefits to it I suppose.. although over the years it gotten way smaller and theyre no longer able to pay me a week ahead of time like they used to because they just dont make the money they used to. If I keep my hours up though I am quite frequently above the fold on the front page and I dont make top model money at all. Not sure if being with a studio has anything to do with it though.

It is an interesting thought in regards to studios and what they actually have to bring. The current avoid studio thread (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?160099-How-to-sign-up-for-sites-directly-to-earn-more-(aka-avoid-studios)) needs updating as do many others. BUT fortunately Stripperweb is filled with lots of indexed information that can help models decide what studios are trustworthy or not. I think most veteran performers already know what to look for, but because we have a surge of new members within the last year maybe it's a topic we need to revisit? Not all studios are bad and some aren't always what they seem. If you're trying to decide for yourself and weigh out the pros and cons, please use google.


For example: stripperweb + (cam studio name), or stripperweb + cam studio name + streamate contracts, or stripperweb + whatever.

It's all here. We post so much around here that GOOGLE fucking loves us. If a studio refuses to release a model or promises things that they can't deliver..it's all indexed here on Stripperweb. If they're rude and antagonize models when they don't perform well, it's all right here and you can see it for yourself.

Be smart. Use The Search.

I love converting someone new people into a sale. If a guy takes me private for the 1st time of ever being on a cam site, generally, he will be back at least once more that day if not twice more.

Converting a hardcore freeloader into a paying customers has been emotionally rewarding but also I've gotten some of my best customers this way.

Glitches are a nightmare. My traffic will be fantastic & then just die. Seen my placement the other night go from #3 to the bottom of the first page. It was perplexing. Then my guys came through & I made money despite it.

NO ONE AT THE PARTIES are getting SECRET INFORMATION. LOL Top gals on there have glitches all the time. There have been some gals on the top row lately that have had me go.......WTF! but whatever.

Never put all your eggs in one basket. :) Grow your social media & fan base outside of every cam site that you can just in case. At the end of the day, try to be the best you & work on your sales skills every which way you can.

I wouldnt join a studio myself but now Im wondering why YOU couldnt join one? Will they not take you if you already have/had and account???

I am not against studio's. We are all people here with their own opinions I think :)

I am not going to join one since I am finally doing well after almost 2 years and I am going to quit camming within the next six months. I am not interested in the hassle of making a new account and stuff for a relatively short period :)

I think the narrative of 'studios are bad' indeed needs some updating. If you begin a camming career with the intention of putting your 100000% in and make it a fancy business then no dont go for a studio since they limit you in one way or another. If you start camming because you hit a rough patch in your life (lost job, not able to find vanilla job) or want some quick cash then join a studio. Its way easier. Thats why I regret going about this way: I belong to the second group. I dont get a kick out of converting freeloaders, it just makes me despise people more and more every day. I think if I work one more year as a cam girl I legit turn crazy. I can't even socialize with people IRL , let alone with rude weird horny internet strangers. I am NOT a sales person, lol.

There are a lot of sketchy studio's because there are a lot of sketchy people that are attracted to the adult industry one way or another, unfortunately. So warn girls for them, but I dont think studio=bad news.

Its incredibly hard to grow any kind of outside fan base when your main in Streamate.
You cant advertise, they don't let you link, they ban you for even mentioning your twitter
in free chat if they are in the mood, and Streamate doesnt retweet most of the time.
I've been having a hard time with this lately, Ive pretty much given up.
I just don't have the time to invest in Chaturbate or MFC for the soul purpose of
growing a fanbase on twitter.

Agree! Thats like having two camming careers at once.

They're making the wrong call about not letting us contact customers off-site.
We already know that they've lost a lot of high spenders because the words came straight out of their own mouths when they introduced that "cam concierge" service (more on that bullshit later), there's literally a video of an SM employee stating this so it's an undeniable fact.
I had a regular for years who would buy long blocks from me once or twice a week. About a couple of months ago he came into my room and tried to get a show and not only could he not stay connected, but he couldn't get his cam to stay open for me. This is after hundreds of shows together so it clearly wasn't a him problem as much as a site problem. He got pissed off, left, and I haven't seen him since. Because of SMs bullshit rules we weren't able to exchange any contact information. If I had his information, do you know how easy it would be for me to get him back on the site? A simple picture with a flirty message and I guarantee I could pull him back in, but nope. Instead he's lost in the void.

And what the fuck is the deal with the cam concierge? "schedule shows, help members find models" like what the fuck??? Has ANYONE been contacted about a scheduled show? Are there any members so completely braindead that they can't browse the site without assistance? Does this motherfucker do ANYTHING of value??? And how is this supposed to bring back "valued members"?? How are members supposed to find out about this ~totally useful~ service anyway? We have to spend so much time pretending like twitter doesn't exist on cam, how do they expect to be followed by any members at all? It's a mystery.

It is hard to grow your own base, but it is WORTH IT.

Those guys are not stupid, make your name on all social media accounts the same as the one you use on cam sites. BRANDING!

It is work, but it will always be there for you no matter where you cam or sell videos & such. I have fans who have been with me almost twenty years now. ;)

It is also why cam sites PAY for traffic, it isn't easy to get traffic. It takes work, it takes them money.

I think of it as investing into myself & spend a certain amount of time on it each week. It did mean paying for photo apps to & learning how to make my pics look even better for promotions. Spent plenty of time watching tutorials on youtube and such for marketing, SEO, photoshop, editing videos to up my game.

I'd like to just say I had all the proper equipment in 40 hours a week working independently I would get $600 in earnings on my slowest week after 6 months of doing regular hours.. I joined a physical studio now in only 28 hours this past week still as a new model I'm on my 3rd week & ive done 1300 in earnings, I think studios are made to look so bad for no reason I just think even if it was a physical facility hourly I still would make more under a studio providing my own equipment. I agree with it just being business & streamate putting studios first. I always used SmBroadcast before with high speed internet my ranking always said excellent I did plenty of committed hours but I just couldn't make as much as I want so I gave in but I'm actually making more now

Well, that's fucking discouraging. I just started using SM again, and I have the fastest internet ever, great computer, great cam-- I get hardly any traffic and am finding it very difficult to make up my ranking. Are there any online studios where you work from home?

It is an interesting thought in regards to studios and what they actually have to bring. The current avoid studio thread (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?160099-How-to-sign-up-for-sites-directly-to-earn-more-(aka-avoid-studios)) needs updating as do many others. BUT fortunately Stripperweb is filled with lots of indexed information that can help models decide what studios are trustworthy or not. I think most veteran performers already know what to look for, but because we have a surge of new members within the last year maybe it's a topic we need to revisit? Not all studios are bad and some aren't always what they seem. If you're trying to decide for yourself and weigh out the pros and cons, please use google.


For example: stripperweb + (cam studio name), or stripperweb + cam studio name + streamate contracts, or stripperweb + whatever.

It's all here. We post so much around here that GOOGLE fucking loves us. If a studio refuses to release a model or promises things that they can't deliver..it's all indexed here on Stripperweb. If they're rude and antagonize models when they don't perform well, it's all right here and you can see it for yourself.

Be smart. Use The Search.

We are totally hijacking this thread now so we should move this over to the sticky "avoid studios" thread or start a new one cause I think there is lots to be explored. I sadly have nothing to add on this one but I would love to have a thread about the good studios to join and the pro vs. cons of going with a studio. Or considering long term goals. How many times a week does someone start a new thread asking how they can make money faster. Pointing them to a good studio maybe a solution that is right for them

Also maybe anyone who knows a studio owner or employee of a reputable studio could ask them to contribute. I really hate to see this little tidbit of gold get lost and buried in a vent thread.
I would start a new thread myself but as I said I really know nothing about studios except that you should avoid them!

Im gonna make a chart and update the other thread tonight. Or maybe create a new one. I have to think about it a bit more to ensure things a bit more. I went through the board yesterday and found all sorts of interesting feedback on several studios. Its just a matter of organizing it.
