I get so tired of guys barking orders at me once they take me to private, so I started requesting GOLD in order to take their demands. Want me to moan your name? GOLD. Need to see pussy NOW? GOLD. Want me to use a toy? GOLD. If they ask for things that they don't ask for BEFORE the show then I'm requesting GOLD from them from now on. Sick and tired of these guys thinking they can control what I do and when I do it after I start my show. Believe it or not, it's working...I'm getting way more GOLD during my private shows than ever before lol. They want it bad enough they'll tip! Try it out ladies ;)

I submitted three videos this morning and now only one of them is showing up under "Pending Review". I already checked the Accepted and Rejected options in the dropdown menu, but I still don't see the other two videos that I submitted. Is this happening for anyone else? I'm hoping this is just a bug and they secretly are in an unlisted pending review queue.

Yesterday I had too much time on my hands and I was watching one of my fave models for a little bit. At a point she mentioned she was getting less than 35 %. Now this is a model who is always top row. Always. And I have never ever thought she would be with a studio. Getting the % she claims she is getting means she is with a studio. Sometimes things are not what they seem.

A lot of top models are with studios. There are reputable studios that actually help their models.

Thank you, but I'm saying that 2 of the videos that I submitted just don't exist anymore. They don't say Pending Review, Accepted, or Rejected. They aren't showing up in any category of the dropdown menu. Only one of the three videos that I submitted shows up and now it got rejected because it had some background music, which really sucks because that was a fan favorite video. I know the SM message that was sent to everyone says to no longer send links to people to download videos. Is anyone currently still doing that? I mean, I would prefer to make 50% commission over 35% but if I'm not allowed to sell it via SM because it has background music, I'd rather make something off of it rather than nothing.

Im not shocked in general. Im shocked she is. I thought she was so up high because of her work 100 % . But now I see her ranking is supplemented by studio placement.
SM does not state anywhere that we should use studios to improve our ranking.
From My Ranking page :
"How can I improve my ranking?
Several factors will impact your ranking on the site. If any of your grades are below "Excellent", we offer recommendations to help you improve each category and achieve the highest ranking possible.

NOTE: Having an "Excellent" grade on any or all factors does not guarantee or imply ranking on the front page of the site."

I still Admire her don't get me wrong. :)

Does SM want to make some of their money back or something?? Why didnt it disconnect me 3 seconds before I started.. But after!?
SO I have no claim at the money? WTF

Just because she's in a studio doesn't mean she didn't work to get her placement or doesn't work hard to keep her placement. Also you don't know what kind of studio she's in. She could be in a good studio where they help to get higher placement or she could be one of those models who accidentally signed up to a studio because she didn't know any better. If she is in a good studio that helps with placement she still most likely has to work hard to keep her placement. Personally I think alot of the models who are in popular studio's and have high placement are models would still be successful without that studio because they have the personality that captivate an audience and have great sale skills.

Joining one of these good studio isn't a 100% sure way to improve your ranking. Just because you join a studio doesn't mean you are instantly going to be in the top 5 rows or on the first place nor does it mean your $$$ is going to increase. You still have to have the chops to earn or keep those things.

I've been shockingly unpopular too, these days. I'm thinking of lowering my premium rates for a "holiday sale" or something, but keeping exclusive the same because I think my regs will still pay that (and may even see the experience as something more special that way? I dunno...) Premium is now $4.99 but maybe at $2.99 for a bit, I could actually make money per hour... (Last night, I made $7 in 2 hours, wtf)

Lowering my rates never works for me. I always get discouraged when it's slow and sometimes I break and lower my rates. I just end up getting frustrated because it's still slow and the few shows I end up getting I'm doing for much less, so I end up with even less money at the end of the week. The best thing I ever did was raising my private rate up to where my exclusive rate was and leaving them the same. So now I don't get any more cheapos expecting a custom show for a cheaper rate because they are too cheap to go exclusive. Don't sell yourself short. More than likely you won't get any more worthwhile shows than you were before. I stick to my guns and just wait it out, because when I get shows they are always worth my time and I don't hate doing them knowing I'm charging too little.

I did 2 hours with prem at $2.99 and excl, I left at $6.99. First thing that happened... I got an exclusive block! 15 mins and he did another 15 mins... Then for the rest of the shift, only 2 shows: a 45 second-ish exclusive and a 3 minute premium, which had a lot of guys jumping in and out.

I think it's just slow. I know I didn't give the low rate a fair try, but I don't know... I should put my premium price back where it was, or at the very lowest, try it at $3.99. Maybe I need to try other things to shake up my room... Like wear something more colourful. Or have animated conversations with myself, or try being more outgoing, I dunno.

I think that if you already know that there are things that you can do to increase engagement, then you should do that before you lower your rates. The three things you listed are really great places to start: Color/enticing, Energetic and outgoing. I know these things seem to mean different things to different people. Some think they're being exciting when they're just sitting there in lingerie. But whatever it means inside your own head, try that first before you go low. Chances are you might be able to go high after you make these changes. If you have to talk to yourself then do it.

My rating dropped to 4 stars because I didn't log in for months... does anyone know what the process is to get back up to 5 stars? Do I need to get a certain number of new 5 star reviews?

Also, ever since I restarted my account with Boleyn Models, I don't have any tags. Do I just have to wait for customers to tag me?

Sorry for the noob questions, lol

Yes, you will have to build back up enough 5 star ratings to get the 4 up to a 5. I think ratings are good for 90 days. Yes, the customers have to be the ones to tag you.

I have a customer account so I added tags to my own profile. I also asked guys to leave me tags specifically pertaining to ones that had to do with my niche.

Camglomerate.com is back on track after a few days of maintenance. The moment it got back and started to tweet, I and 2 friends of mine also using Camglomerate had a soft ban from Twitter. Way to go, Streamate...(I'm pretty sure just some of us experienced that, I saw other models tw accounts doing just fine).Too bad 'cause traffic increases when using it.

EDITED to add: I got another soft ban, the second day. Asked their support what's happening and this is their answer:

"This is Twitter's new API. This has nothing to do with us. Twitter updated their API with a new system to eliminate malicious bots and apps that have plagued Twitter and brought them all the recent media attention (congressional hearings regarding Russian bots and troll farms). This doesn't have anything to do with CAMglomerate and you won't get suspended. We have to do the very same thing with all our Twitter accounts, even the ones that have nothing to do with CAMglomerate. We also have to prove we're humans and not bots. While this is a good thing in the long run, people using apps are going to have to verify themselves and use Twitter's new "I'm not a robot" system. It sucks, we agree, but we have to play by Twitter's rules. Everybody using apps has to do this so Twitter can expel all the bad bots. Most Twitter users aren't even aware they have malicious apps installed on their Twitter accounts.

TL; DR you won't get suspended and these new API rules are due to Twitter's new API and nothing to do with CAMglomerate. ��

Happy Camming and shine on. ��"

Update - as usual PhatGirlDynomite!!! came to the rescue & I appreciate her help sooo much :)

For everyone else, it was the bitrate (under output) causing issues. It needs to be lowered down to 1,000 or 1,500.

Issue:

Can someone please help me.

I use OBS, & I haven't been camming in about 3 months.

I logged on, & the colors on the bottom right were changing from red to orange, to yellow, & only briefly to green :(

Prior to that someone had helped me to tweak the settings so my recording of videos would be higher quality, but that shouldn't cause issues when camming, right?

I've tried 2 different ISPs & it's the same issue :(

I thought maybe it's SM, but SM was bad even 3 months ago & I never had this problem.

Can someone who knows OBS & maybe what is going on please help me.

Thanks a ton

I'm so glad you posted this. I was trying to figure out why I'm stuck way on the back pages of the site and it's because I have only four 5 star ratings and no other ones for the last 90 days. You have to have five or it drops you to 4 stars! I had no idea. I thought someone had one-starred me but nope!

There's no hope. My rating dropped to 4, everything is dead. I am out of Streamate. They pushed me on page 6. I have been doing my 40 hours per week target, in order to increase, everything is at max, except the star. I didn't even have bad ratings. I didn't have at all so it dropped to 4.

I'm on hiatus but in the past I had lots of luck by creating a preset message for paid chat. After a few mins in the show I post "Hey baby this is fun. Don't forget to hook me up with 5 stars. It makes me wet." And then I make sure I say those words out loud too. I suspect that many get confused and think I'm asking for 5 gold because I frequently would get a $5 tip during the show. 5 seemed to be the magic number? Maybe I should start asking for 10 stars. But the rest were very accommodating when I asked for a 5 star rating. Or you can say Hey baby hook me up with a five star rating and then send me a message. I got a treat for you. Now you got a 5 star rating plus one more customer to market to. I send out pics that they can easily find on social media. Nothing special.

I can definitely relate. I hope you find a site you can work instead. I'm on a lot of sites but still need my Streamate money if possible so I'm going to keep trying even though I'm on the back pages of the site now.

I had no bad ratings either! It really sucks. Yesterday I had a guy promise me he would rate me after his session and of course he didn't. I reminded him twice during the session.

Is the rating page that hard for these guys to find or are my viewers just stupid? When do they see it so I can help point it out?

I noticed over like the past 4-6 months that I hardly get any ratings anymore. My ratings dropped to 4.5 stars like a week ago as well and I haven't gotten a 1 star rating either. The only way I seem to get ratings anymore is if I ask for them but I always forget to tell them whether its via voice or preset.

Anyways you have to tell them to click end show in order to rate you, if they X out of the page which most tend to do they won't see the ratings page.

^^^ Yes i think many of them just exit the window so they cant rate silly men, i will have to modify my preset message and tell them this too.

I wonder if it's a new trend on SM's first page to show/rub genitals in free chat. It's obvious to me that they don't enforce lots of rules, not anymore. I fear the day SM rooms will look like CB's.
