I guess is normal to take it personally because IT IS personally in our perception for the ones that cam for many years now, i compare things with the past and think i got old, ugly or fat (i gained weight compared to when i started), i think i did better money because i was young, slim and beautiful and now i am not anymore, 'that's why they dont come to me anymore' i think.

I know it cant be really true just partially but i cant help to think of it like this because i have terms to compare to how i was when i started.
A model who is starting now or started recently or not long ago dont have this issue to feel she changed over time.
This is me at least and my perception and as we know & was proven scientifically few years ago, truth is relative and personal, reality itself does not exist but reality is our perception seen and felt with our own consciousness.
At the end of my 4.5 hrs shift a guy came in and saved my day otherwise i would have made peanuts, at least i went to bed happy and relaxed.
Pheww!!

I bet you are very beautiful. There is a niche for all of us you know that. Men love you Kat. Otherwise you wouldn't be in this business due to empty rooms. Even the most beautiful woman is cheated by men. Wonder why. Hugs.

Thank you, i appreciate your words!!! xxx

You know, as a general matter, the most disheartening thing for me is, men/customers really changed since i started 18 years ago, back in the days they were soo nice, soo polite; i started at a studio w.o even a basic english, i was chatting with them using my dictionary and preset messages written on a piece of paper no kidding, they would explain what they wanted from me and what certain things mean in english, i was clueless.

Compare this with the way men are now, barking orders, throwing insults, having no time to even interact a little, wanting all fast forward, this is not the camming world i went into.
Who changed men like that, us the models maybe?! We are too many and the market is over saturated, we lowered our standards because of this?!
It's just another world that i dont like simply, that's why i say i dont feel like i belong to the actual work environment anymore because is a hostile one compared to before.

Of course there are men who love and adore me & i am very happy to see young men at age 18-20+ coming to me instead of going to young girls of their age, i sometimes ask them 'why me?' and they say 'because i like YOU, i like ur maturity, looks, body, whatever' but these nice guys are not too many lately, polite and nice men are a rare thing now a days.
I dont tolerate rudeness in my room, i dont even have them but very rarely (i had my share of trolls for a good while before).

I sometimes doubt myself cause i think i changed but as another model said in here, men/customer quality changed in fact "It's totally NOT you! The quality of customers has gone DOWN!" said BadBitch (thank you for input BadBitch xxx), i really have to remember this!!
I'll put it on writing in capital letters on a piece of paper in front of my eyes to see it all the time and remember that MEN CHANGED!!
All the best everyone xxx!

Is Streamate aware that the HTML5 player doesn't let you shrink the webcam feed anymore? It looks absolutely hideous if the braodcast is in 480p or lower.

What is the purpose of all these contests? This contest is a whole week. It must be to get as many girls working as possible for the week so SM makes more money overall. I can't make more money than I currently do - what I make is what I make. As it's my income I always try my best. The ONLY thing I could do to increase my income is to try to work more hours or more days, but I already work too many.

White labels push traffic. Traffic sales spike and it can be any model.
Models push traffic in hopes the member spends on her/him.. still bringing the customer to the platform not ensured the customer spends on them.

I swear to god every time before and during contest the same “ghost” models appear and are real but we never see them on the site other days/weeks.
Could be a coincidence.

My theory is we log on, forget a contest is going on, we keep a good report with cam customers and enjoy the money spent on us. Forget the contest is happening.

I log off when unmotivated and meditate by editing videos this way I stay in a work mode

I never give less than 100% whenever I log on, so from my perspective it really doesn't affect me all. There isn't anything more that I can do to make more. If there was, I'd be doing it, contest or no contest. Yes, I can do things I don't do, such as anal and other wild stuff that I don't do out of choice, but I have my personal limits.

I've never won a prize :(

Of course that's what SM is after. Every possible dormant model coming out of the woodwork to increase the number of models for the week, making the site more attractive to customers... and then making it look like they're doing us a favour by adding prizes, so we put even more hours into it. SM - winner. Models - losers. Any extra client spending gets spread really thin. The ghost models, as you call them, are popular models that seldom work, and when their customers see them again, they're getting most of the money rather than the tired old faces they see week in week out.

They have upped their game. Correct me if I'm wrong, as they have had so many fuckin contests since the Fosta debacle in April, it's hard to keep track, but previous contests were only about 3 days long, max. Now we have a week long contest. What's next, a full month?

How many prizes have you won? I'm yet to see one and I probably never will.

streamatemodels.com is the site you want to sign up on.

I forget what the maximum amount they let new models charge, I think it might be 5.99? (you can ask for this to be raised once you've made some money.) Personally I would do 4.99/5.99 to start out but I suppose it depends on how comfortable you are and what you offer. At 4.99 you would get to keep 1.75 per minute.

Also, don't think of it as "only 35%". Don't get me wrong, I'd love a higher cut. But for a private-based site that isn't Indy and covers chargebacks, I believe SM has the highest payout. (And if you already have followers that don't have SM accounts, you can also use your referral link to get 75% payout.) Sure, you could make a 50% cut on a token site, but most of what you'd be doing would be public and seen by tons of freeloaders. I'd personally prefer to work on a site where everyone watching explicit acts is required to pay (unless you choose to do free $0 gold shows on SM). Plus, just because a site has a higher payout doesn't mean you'll make more money. The quality of the traffic and how much you can convert to sales is what's most important.

Thank you so much! Now reading your explanation I agree with you that 35%is not bad at all...and I would stick to 4.99/5.99 just makes me feel more comfortable. Thanks again! What would you recommend to use there as a payout?

glad I could help. :) surely some ladies might disagree, but as someone who has been able to make relatively steady income for years with the 35% payout, i personally can't complain too much. It's what you make of it, in the end.

As for your question, if you mean what method of payment I'd recommend, I think that's very much based on personal preference as well as your location. I live in the US and didn't want them taking additional fees which is required for certain payment options, so I opted for standard free checks. In the 4 years I've been on SM, I've only had issues maybe 3-4 times (mainly checks being late or lost, which were all resolved pretty simply). But your situation may vary.

I only get 30%. It depends on where you live... and have to wait 3 weeks for pay. It's not a very model-friendly site, and only a backup for me... a bit extra when my other sites are slow.

Forgive me if this has already been answered...can you contact Liz and have the 3 week hold removed? I know about the shitty 5% deduction for some nations but I didn't know about the 3 week wait. Have you ever contacted them to negotiate both the percentage and the wait?

Yes, I have... no go unfortunately. I'm not really worried about the 3 weeks wait though... at least they always pay - it's been like clockwork for 4 years. I suspect the 3 week pay delay is to discourage credit card fraud. I've had a few people try it on me over the years... especially when I was new on there.

Forgive me if this has already been answered...can you contact Liz and have the 3 week hold removed? I know about the shitty 5% deduction for some nations but I didn't know about the 3 week wait. Have you ever contacted them to negotiate both the percentage and the wait?

I have contacted her for the 3 weeks hold. She said it's impossible to have it removed. So I went with Boleyn, no regrets.

It makes one wonder what one must do to win a prize. Someone is winning them - 200 models are winning $200 or more for a grand total of $69,500 prize money.

I dunno but it sure does separate the wheat from the shaft.. there are 2 categories.. girls who literally make nothing during a contest and girls who make a ton of money more than usual.. .. I don't even think there is an in between?

The last two 24 hour contests they just had were the first time I placed in 2 years of working this site. I worked 18 hours in each of them to do it and I still only got the lowest prize since I didn't break 100.

I still generally make my average goals during contest weeks, but don't necessarily make any bonus money, so I think there is an in between. I've made $950 this week, $800 for my "top 3 days" and I am not in the top 200. I'm in the low 300s and am planning to work one more night this pay period. I just asked about this in the other Streamate Thread because I'm curious what the threshold for getting into the top 200 ranks is.

During a past "best three day" contest, I remember having a $1500+ week with about $1200 being my "top 3 days" and I still didn't rank.

Edit; I also recall there was a model who was fairly public about her earnings and showed that she made over $2k during a past 24 hour contest and placed somewhere in the top 5.
