Same here, none of my big regulars care that I have a fiancé. I love it when models write blogs saying you have to lie and say you are single to be successful in the camming industry... It's such crap. I am first 2-3 rows (usually 1st) in SM when I log in, and I always make it clear I am in a relationship. I also never break rules, or promise anything I won't be coming through on (just how I do it, no judgement on anyone who does it different- I have a child, I have to). Prob makes my earnings higher. My fiancé is secure too, and knows that no person could ever be a threat to him. I am lucky though, lots of guys are not that cool, and for a while I thought I would never get married or have a child unless I gave up camming. I was SO wrong though. Go Scorpio men!! The BEST <3 <3 <3. Hehe..once you go Scorpio, you never go back :-)
I'm so using this site, as an excuse to procrastinate on actually working today. Off I go...
When I first started, I worked for a token site who coached me to say that I was single. They wanted me to act like I was looking for Mr. Right so that I would find a big spender or sugar daddy. I've carried that act that I'm single to SM. I would love to be open that I'm married. I actually do tell some people that I am. It's so funny because they seem so shocked.

Yeah exactly. Your context is totally different. I think it's kind of random who gets in trouble for what on there anyways. It's risky in free chat, because it could be another model trying to set you up. In paid chat, that is a lot less likely. I never get why other models do that. Every great while I try to check other models profiles on the first page, just to get an idea for pricing, but I never try to chat or anything, and I have learned that there is no point even worrying what others are charging, as it doesn't affect me, overall in the long term.
Jealousy. I had a good time when I made about 1000$/week. I got way more nasty comments and trolls. Probably all models. Once you place in a contest they come out of the woodworks and troll you. A lot of sketchy studios also use this practice to try and get their (independent working) competitors suspended/fired.
I am not a big earner at the moment but I am not going to use my energy to troll other models. They are good at camming, good for them! I aim to make bank as a dentist in a year or 10. Everybody their own talent and interests. Everybody their own thing. No need to be jealous.
^^^ Jealousy, trolling, trap questions, i know these all too good...
Dentist? Nice, i always wanted to be a medical doctor!
Good luck with ur career Aurora!
On a positive note, we are on page 400 in this thread, yay for freedom of speech! ;)
Happy camming everyone!

I am sorry to hear that happened to you too (the troll part, not the money part :). It's so pathetic that they do that, that it is funny. Yes, I would also never use my time and energy on such a negative, and plain out stupid endeavor. Especially if I wasn't making money, who has time for that, when they should be trying to make $$$$$ for themselves? Good for you on the dentist part, that is awesome!

They'll do a contest because it's so fucking slow. They want to dangle that carrot in front of us. They want girls to work 24 hours straight so that SM can get a boost in $$.

my prediction is that they'll use the "summer solstice" on June 21st as an excuse for a new contest. And I doubt it'll just be a one day. I'm guessing 3 day at least. We'll see...

I hide my placement in contest unless I’m in the 200s and up.
That sucks ppl troll. Can no one say “good job! You worked your ass off!”

And here it is! You called it, anonamiss!
Happy June to all of our performers! We've got two great contests lined up for you later this month. Check them out below!
June Solstice Contest
We're starting off with a celebration of the June Solstice, which marks the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere and the shortest day in the southern. Join us from June 21-22 GMT for a two-day contest, and we'll award the top 200 performers with prizes!
June Solstice Contest Prize List
1st place: $1,500!
2nd place: $1,250
3rd place: $1,000
4th place: $800
5th place: $600
6-10th places: $500
11-20th places: $400
21-50th places: $250
51-100th places: $100
101-200th places: $50
June Best Face Forward Contest (and Bonus Gift!)
Just 24 hours after the June Solstice contest ends, join us from June 24-30 GMT for a week long Best Face Forward event, plus a chance for a bonus gift!
During this contest, we'll look at the eligible earnings from your best three days (GMT) to determine your rank. The other four days won't count towards your rank. This means if you have a slow afternoon or need to take a day off, you still have a chance to rank high! You only need three great days of streaming, but the more days you're on the more chances you have to set a new personal best and get closer to the top prize.

Can we bet they will have a 4th of July contest also or maybe a bonus? Oh, this is going to be nuts.
I'm not mad because of it, but too many contests in such a short period of time, hard to keep your shit together and win something in all of them.
Most probably, they will implement some feature (maybe the tip vibe) during the 24-30 June week.

I feel guilty laughing so hard, but I read these posts when I first woke up today...and I just checked my SM inbox for the first time. That is pretty funny that you guys are able to call it so accurately!
Also ...same here carmelcraze, every time there is a contest I am either on my period or have a rare family visit staying for most of that week. I have never placed anywhere to win a prize in one, needless to say...and it looks like it's about to happen again :( Oh well, I totally admire the hustle and work ethic of those who do place, and win. It's awesome to see.

I looked back at the last 2 years. For both 2016 and 2017 they did a July 5th "bikini day" contest, and a (super ironic) "nude day" on July 14th. But I'm not sure if they'll do either since this is the first time they're doing the week long June contest.
I dont know where all the traffic is going when there are contests but not in my room, contests affect my paying traffic soo bad.
I just wish to cam normally, i dont care about contests but how to make money if there is no traffic for me?!
I just feel the traffic is redirected to specific rooms cause during contests i get no regulars, no people i know, not talking users but in and outs and all new people, maybe bots?! Go figure :(
ETA: Fixed my PC so i can splitcam, happy to have options other than SM, this summer is going to be very long and full of contests. Til october things will go slow for us 'the regular' models.
Top models and high earners are never affected by these things being contests or summer slowness cause there is always traffic for high ranked models no matter the site, always been like this.
Good for the ones that are not affected, i know i am by these contests :(

Something new to linking out “all models” we can not do it.
I reported this in november
Go to your link
Click on Cammodels logo
Click on home
Then click on “new models”
Then try to click on “all live cams”
It takes you back to your profile
Now go to http://Cammodels.com
Do the same shit.
See what happens .......
we use to go to our profile and click on all live cams, click on all models then link that out,
it only goes to new models or forced to click a niche.
I can not link out "all models"

That's bullshit!. Does that mean you lose all the money? If so I am getting rid of that option. I have it, but it rarely gets used, so I am not super clear on how block show payments work. If you, or anyone else has time to answer, I would be totally grateful.
I have PMS and about to get period, so I am not even logging on to stream until things pick up. I signed up on sextpanther though. It seems like some folks make some decent side money there, so wanted to share that, if anyone else is interested in that site for sexting. It did take me about 5-6 days to get an email accepting me though. But some people say they were cleared in 24.

No, if you stayed at least half the time, you get the full amount for the block. Its only if you leave and don't come back to finish that you lose the money. If he leaves a little early, you keep the whole thing.

Despite the problems ( I have been burned too) I love blocks. Most of the guys who regularly buy blocks are some of the most respectful of my time and understand that pacing is important in a sexual encounter. I would probably reject an hour block from a new guy though, the discount is too great. I pretty much only let my talking guys have that option and even then they respect my time enough to buy the 30 min option.

Oh I know. When my chit chatters drop off the face of the earth I usually remove the 45 and 60 min options. I don't worry about it too much though. The freeloaders/scammer's limits are not high enough to secure the purchase in the first place

I get too hungry and bored off the same thing, so I only had 15 and 30 enabled in the first place. I am still confused about how they work, but I feel really bad like I caused trouble by asking...so my apologies to everyone, (including PGD) for that. I honestly don't really care that much how they work anymore, because these days I am not a fan of blocks. I have a variety of reasons, but it's usually boredom and hunger #1. I am nursing. When I upped my rates I lost several of my long fetish customers that bought fun blocks, and now I just have had multiple orgasm guys wanting hour long shows (which I don't enjoy). That coupled with the fact that I have never fully understood how they work if someone leaves early (but I don't need to), is enough for me to be over them. It's a ADHD thing. I know I am a total weirdo, and pretty much every other cammer, I have heard express a preference on it, prefers longer shows. After 30 mins, I seriously start clock watching because all I can think of is a snickers bar and a glass of water :-)

but when the show was over and I saw my earnings. I was like heck yea I could get use to this. and considering we don't take a hit for chargeback as frequent as other sites. I will take any block they want.
KatyBoleyn
06-16-2018, 04:36 PM
Keep in mind that with block shows, you can't really ever lose. If they don't stay long enough to trigger the block, they still pay per minute at your full regular rate. If they leave early (but not too early), the entire block price is yours to keep. If they stay for the whole time, at least you got paid for being in private the whole time, even at a small % discount.
The only time you lose is if you're disconnected during the show and you don't come back. Even then, they have to complain to get any kind of refund.
If they buy a long block show, but they're rushing you to the good stuff, then you know something is up. Either make the decision to live with that it will be a shorter private or let him know he needs to slow his roll.
