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?

Please dont get discouraged. There's always more to the story. Sometimes people do better in a physical studio because the equipment is better plus they tend to have tech support right there onsite. So where some models may think their computers are strong enough to handle encoders often times they're not or they dont have enough ram and are streaming on a weak wifi signal instead of being hardwired. etc

And then theres the part where studio models work on a schedule which helps them stay consistent. Consistency leads to more money. Those are a few of the benefits of working in a physical studio.

You can achieve all of those things working from home but you have to hold yourself accountable for your time online and about being honest in regards to the quality of your tech setup. After so many years of interacting with other cammodels I've come to realize that only a small percentage understand the logistics of streaming. And lastly theres the matter of Chatroom engagement and being able to get customers to convert. Some studios may be able to assist you with some coaching but ultimately the hustle is up to you.

Sometimes STUDIOs have models post on sites to help recruit more girls to them.

How much more will you make with the studio taking a cut of YOUR percentage?

Holy Fucking Shit.

Dead. Af. I almost want to adjust my settings to let
non members in just so i have people to fucking talk
to while theres a whole fucking maybe 10
actual members in and out this our. 1 said hi.

Was disconnected once. At least it wasnt while i was making
money. Good ol' checked my cam, just fine.

May just accept daytime perverts dont fancy me lol


buuuut it has only been an hour and i try to think of the
times i had a good 2 to 3 hours of nothing then just started making
bank towards the end of my night. Just disappointed i cant
put in time like i used to or Id get
no sleep for my vanilla job.

thank god this is a venting thread or id feel like a the
complainy ass bitch that i am.

But i suprisingly remain hopeful and positive...for the most part.

Really hard to make myself stay online like this...but as you never know what could happen... I am trying to keep my ass stuck in front of this pc for as long as my shift should be. Ugh!

know the studio I work with let's you work from home but they offer a physical location where I'm at & I know there's a lot over the internet but the one I'm with offers a higher percent to their models than others from what I've compared. You get a bonus to 75% if you go over a certain amount in earnings. Which sucks seeing the total I make for them but it's still more money for me in general so I guess I can't hate on it too much

The studio I work at is in the US & I make more after even giving them a cut.. to be honest. But I still get annoyed that I have to but I'm only makin. More so I guess I can't complain

I tend to agree with you if we are talking about me, or you, or people like us who want to make this work our way and not give away even 1 more % point on our quest for the almighty dollar.

BUT!! We are not every person and if a studio was legit it might be a better option for some.

I couldnt believe that people would use a "daily pay" studio because of the amount they lose and yet I now know lots of cammers are using it. For them what they pay for the service is worth it to have the convenience of it. Thats why I am so interested in this. Its easy to make the argument not to go with a studio. "You make less on the $". Simple. But what are the pros? Cammers deserve to have all the info!!

AuroraJade
11-10-2017, 05:12 AM
Agree. You could use this argument on a lot of stuff. For example, some people pay for an accountant while other people have the time and knowledge to do that themselves.

I can also vouch for myself that I am not with a studio myself and get the whole 35% paid. I know some people think I am a shill for studios but thats not the case.

I'm in the Boleyn Models studio (https://admin.boleynmodels.com/ref?page=&affToken=NjE4) for one reason: My ID is from a Tier 2 country. Which means that as an independent cammer I'm not allowed to reply to mail, I won't get a break button, I only get paid 30%. All kinds of bs. Making a new account with Boleyn categorised me as a Tier 1 country person somehow, and gave me access to all that important stuff. More importantly, I get paid 35%, which means that after Katy's cut, I still make THE EXACT SAME money percentage-wise I was making before. I don't lose a cent, and I get all the benefits of Katy's studio like that sweet, sweet daily pay. Plus renewed New Model status was pretty awesome for the month it lasted.

So I highly recommend anyone from countries where they're only getting 25-30% on SM to hop on the studio train.

My country is Tier 2 also, but I do have a break button, a forced private button (that one when you link your personal site and need to do shows on yours, without leaving SM- not using it, though, reasons were discussed multiple times inhere) and my e-mails are replied in 48 hours if I send an e-mail to support, but I get faster replies directly from their Rep for Europe, Catalina, on Skype, e-mail, WhatsApp. The only bad thing is the 30% and 3 weeks payments delays.

That is not the case for everyone in a Tier 2 country. I still get 30%, which after BM's cut, becomes 26%. I had the break button and I could reply mails even before I was with BM tho. Nothing changed for me, except that I don't have the 3 weeks hold on my earnings. You said your ID is from a Tier 2 country, not that you live there so you probably live in a Tier 1 country and so you get 35% instead of 30%.

^Ok my bad, I was basing it on my own experience and can't speak for other Tier 2 countries. I joined SM 2 years ago as an independent, and although I live in a Tier 1 country, support said models are categorised based on submitted ID only, not current location, because people can travel and cam and so can the scammers from Tier 2 and 3 countries. It was a whole big thing, I was mad pissed, I think I posted a long rant here. So I was Tier 2, 30% and all, nothing I could do about it. A few weeks later when I emailed support asking for a break button, removing the 3 week hold and ability to reply to member mail (I could receive mail but not reply to them), I was told I wasn't allowed any of those things. So, it seems some Tier 2 countries are given more privileges than others - good to note, thanks guys.

@seicento Well that's weird, I wonder why my percentage changed then. I used the exact same Tier 2 ID with Boleyn as I did as an independent. I guess support was bullshitting me :S MY BAD GUYS

It makes sense now. So you live in a Tier 1 country just like I guessed and that's why thru BM you get 35%. I live in my Tier 2 country so nothing had changed regarding %.

Yes, I can confirm that privileges are given depending on your location. First the bigger % for Tier1, then the better placement for those located there, in combination with other factors of course but location reaaaaly matters in placement. The 3 weeks hold, they didn't want to remove it even after 2 years working there and not breaking a rule or other shit.

Hmm I am not the type that complains on here too much buuut... these last few days have been incredible on Streamate! I am on the 1rst page and on the upper part of it, and... I am hearing crickets!! I mean literally... over 20 ppl in the Potential Members thing and rarely 1-2 ppl in my chat. And when I am getting people in my free chat, 90% of them do not have the slightest intention to pay, or in the best case they just tip a little bit of Gold. I only had 2 short privates today, in 5 hours. That's crazy!! The quality of the traffic these days is scary, only people that are looking for meeting in real life, or looking for free shows! Or just Looky-loo's that vanish if I say Hello! Where is the paying traffic? And where are all of my regulars? Looks like they vanished from the face of Earth, and I sure have quite a few regs as I have been on SM for 6 or 7 years now! Am I the only one with this problem? I looked at a few other girls and I saw it was slow for them too but for some reason I never have the patience to sit and look for more than 2-3 minutes so I am not sure if it's just as bad for them too .. Hope not, cause then it means I could change my pics or something and make it work again, but if it is...then its bad!

It's bad-Last Tues I worked SM frm 3pm-11pm (8 hrs) that night with not a single private show-only made $4 in tips on a Gold Show & men complained b/c they actually thought they would get a show for $4 (I don't think so) I am on again tonight frm 8:30pm and it's now 11:45PM with the regular HD in broadcaster b/c SM HD Broadcaster no longer works for me w/ my old computer since they did there upgrade to it. I actually said screw it and am split camming SM w/ IMLive but both suck. Not 1 single private. I noticed 3-4 ppl on SM tried to go Private but they are obviously getting kicked out b/c none of them are staying in Private to even get a 30 second peep show. I actually had given up on both sites b/c thought I could make my little living off of Indie Skype shows but they have bottomed out too! sigh Also, I too have had one of my regulars that every time I am on SM which hasn't been much lately only gave me a couple of privates in the past and now all he is about is hanging out in my "free chat" trying to meet up with me in real life.... smh

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.

If you find out the secret let me know.

I've tried several times to have a customer account under my name and they shut it down within a day or two. I guess SM does not want models to have customer accounts.

Ganna have to make a fake one as well. I NEED to know how the site works from their end. I need to tell people how to use it.
On another note
Has anyone noticed a MAJOR rise in traffic the last 2 weeks? I've been having 200+ potentials at a time, and long privates non-stop.
I was kind of hoping maybe they made a recent change, or I finally got my settings right again.
I also recently changed my hours and started showing face and chatting more.
Hoping its not just a fluke.
There's hope girls! Unless this is a bogus fluke, there is still lots of money there!

I find that if my room is empty and no one is coming in I usually have to restart my computer. That seems to sort it. Lately my stream rate keeps dropping off randomly and Im finding that after a prvt and especially after an exclusive I need to log out and back in to SM to keep the traffic in my room otherwise they pop in and out like they arent connecting to me.

ive never had to do that "

Anyone know what might being going on? He says he's bought shows before too. Is he just full of shit or have they changed the way guys pay recently?

I've always thought that their credit card is tied to their account and that they are just charged by the minute or has that changed?

If they are on prepaid cards, they need to add funds in their customer account and from those funds, start privates and offer tips. Minimum is $25 in my account.

I hesitated to post how bad my week started but i really feel soo much pain that i was not able yet to get myself ready to cam, it's been 6.8 hrs in total split in 2 shifts, 2.8 hrs and 4 hrs, i only had a short pvt during the 1st shift and nothing in the 4 hrs shift, not a single pvt or tip, i talked to them, did all i could to get them to come pvt or tip and nothing, i ended my session in tears simply, off cam of course.

Pls dont judge, it's not about me cause i know my job, it's about ... cant figure out what is going on really, i am glad some people do well on SM, it's sad some of us do really bad lately for some reason.

All i want here is to share my pain cause it hurts, it really does, if u go thru this urself pls know u not alone, i know many people avoid to post cause they feel they'll be judged or laughed of but i am beyond this, it does not matter for me, not anymore.
I am just praying to find motivation to get back on cam, it helps i can express my feelings here, ty for reading and be blessed!

All i want here is to share my pain cause it hurts, it really does, if u go thru this urself pls know u not alone, i know many people avoid to post cause they feel they'll be judged or laughed of but i am beyond this, it does not matter for me, not anymore.
I am just praying to find motivation to get back on cam, it helps i can express my feelings here, ty for reading and be blessed!

This week has been really bad for me too. Totally stressed about it too because I need to pay my rent with this check along with a bunch of other bills and I don't even have a fourth of it yet and the week is more than half over. I've got guys just sitting in my room for hours not tipping, just chatting with me, not about sex, but still. I've had a ton of guys who seem to think this is a dating site and want me to be their gf. These guys don't seem to understand this is my job.

This is only one day. I can make my whole week in a day or two on SM. Somedays all my regs come in and just talk and the most I get is some nickle and dime bullshit from prvt and excl and I couldnt start a goldshow to save my life and then the next day I feel like the sexiest woman on the planet cause Im in and out making dough and starting Gold Shows for more then my limit. It give and take sometime even for the top models.

I think I read this at a point but I forgot. Does anyone know what this means? "(reason: user was disconnected manually)" while in a gold show.

I took this from their FAQ:
“user was disconnected manually” – Our support team detected an issue and temporarily removed the user from your room.

Does Anyone else feel like the Customers that rate you a 4 are WORSE than the Customer that rate you a 1?? Like your good, but not good enough. I never ever get 3's or 4's but for some reason this week when its slow as hell I have randomly got a couple, which drops my rating WAY MORE then it should. I feel like slow times always bring out the real POS guys that leave shity ratings! Honestly I would rather not get rated at all.

Where did all my paying regs go? Every dude this week has been either in and outs, has asked me where i am from and as soon as they hear im not from their town/state/country they leave (cause if I were, Id totally give them this ass, at least in their minds), or its guys who talk it up like they are getting ready to go pvt. and then leave....its been an odd week on SM this week and my earnings are absolutely paltry. Not even working fast-food level. Worst week on SM since I started streaming again....and terrible timing, right at/before holiday season, not to mention the bills Im not gonna be able to pay....shits crazy. Last year at this time I was so damn busy I was turning down shows....this year Im begging for crumbs.

don't feel bad, I feel your pain.. I got my hair done yesterday and for the first time in 15 yrs after I get my hair done , I logged onto cam and not one guy said a word about it.. different hair cut and highlights even ($180).. .. and I will say , I do not get my hair done often and they NOTICE every single time.. not this time.. and that was the first time I went to a hair salon in a year and a half .. so yes I feel like shit!.. and last week I had 3% on SM.. not to far behind you.. I am at 6% this week so far ONLY because I had a regular I personally referred and was earning almost all the commission... who knows how the rest of the week will be.. I am at 1% for today..

Girl I feel ya! I am in the same boat: I boycotted SM over a month ago since I put in the hours and don't make anything & went back on this week and still nothing!!

Thurs: 11/09/17: 58 min-$3.82
Fri: 11/10/17: 2hrs 38 min $0.00
Sun: 11/12/17: 7 hrs 12 min $1.20
Mon: 11/13/17: 2 hrs 2 min $0.00
Tues: 11/14/17: 9 hrs 28 min $0.00
Total hrs worked on SM: 22 hrs 18 min
Total Amt Earned on SM: $5.02

WTH can I do with that??? I remember I signed up w/ Boleyn Models for Daily Pay for SM back in June this year and only worked little hrs and streamed once or twice. Came back on SM full time last week of Aug to the beginning of Sept & worked 28 1/2 hrs and made $347.00 which was good for me! Now I can't even make not even 10 a week? WTF??? I also split cammed SM and worked IMLive the same amt of hrs this week and with IMLive I was only able to make the min $25 payout every day on or 2 days or little more but wasn't much with the hrs I put in on IMLive but damn! At least I made something than SM! On ImLive back in the summer I could put in the 28 hrs and at least come out at end of week with $200 but that is expected w/ IMLive after your promotional period has ended but wth is up w/ SM??? I do not mind putting in the hours and even more hrs a day if I have to to at least clear $100 a day but this is crap!!!

Why do guys insist on talking when they do C2C through their mic. I can barely hear them, the feedback sounds like shit, and then they get upset because I'm not responding to what they say. Dude, I can't hear you! Use the phone or type. I have to turn up the volume all the way to even try to hear them and still am barely able to.

Same here, and that is the reason I immediately click the volume icon on the C2C and block their sound. They can call me thorough the phone feature or type because I'm not listening to that screeching.

I have spent tons of times on and off trying to get SM Broadcaster to work-ever since they updated to the new Broadcaster it messes up my FPS and is forever dropping and my HD cam I have isn't much but other models say it is a good one that they even started out with the HD Logitech C615 and it does cover 1280-720 resolution but when I optimize or even not optimize the Broadcaster it still cuts the FPS& resolution way down when I start streaming which effects my video quality streaming! I spent like hrs & hrs offline constantly having to log out re-optimize the shit thing! Got tired of all the customers in free chat complain that my cam was screwed up when I keep telling them its not my very high speed internet nor my cam it is the SITE! SO all week I just used the Visit X Splitter and split with IMLive to give them a reason to complain about lol I actually am thinking until SM makes changes in getting better paying traffic & gets there SM Broadcaster fixed that I would just boycott the site again and just focus my full time hrs every week back on IMLive and split cam with Cams.com (my bandwidth seems to be able to handle those too together) I just hate not getting paid but every 16th & 2nd of the mth with 5 business days after for Direct Deposit. But if there is money and paying traffic on Cams than money coming to you eventually for ur hard work is better than no money made at all! I worked the site very minimum a couple mths ago wen I signed up and probably never even worked 10-15 hrs and had made $120 so yeah am thinking about making Cams my main site in with IMLive running . Kinda sucks b/c I was hoping SM had changed for the better while I took a break frm it and really wanted to boost my hrs back on there to help my ranking but oh well!

I didn't know you could do that! Do they get that it's turned off or do they just keep talking?

If they ask I tell them but usually doesn't take long for them to realize they either need to phone or type in the chat screen.

Has anyone else noticed there are a ton of guys on SM this week who are brand new to the site and have no clue what they are doing? They also seem to not speak English very well. Some of them seem to think it is a dating site, some seem to have figured out what it is, but not that they have to go private to actually get a show and none of them are paying. I have never had this many clueless dudes at one time before and it just started this week.
