Seems like when i take a hiatus for 2 days and come back... it's crickets. DO I Really have to work 7 days in a row to keep quality traffic? Ugh

I stupidly took off this last week when aunt flow was visiting and fuck that was a mistake. Traffic has been alright for the most part. Just died on me like a mofo so I'm gonna take a 'lunch break' and hop back on in a bit before I fall asleep of boredom on can.

Where are they getting the traffic from lately?Yesterday afternoon I had a bunch telling me they were new and broke ,one even told me he didn`t expect rates so high .That he expected more like 0.99 pvts after registering?What the actual fuck?Probably they advertise low prices now to get new guys to register.

Does anyone know if upload speed effects placement? Is 5 upload speed enough to run the encoder? Things are working a lot better for me on sm but customers are still being booted from my pvts and free chat which is frustrating....

I believe it does effect placement because it effects the smoothness of your stream. 5 upload is good enough...that's what I have and I'm able to stream fine in HD720 with SMBroadcast.

I have a question for you ladies. Recently I tipped some people with my customer account on SM. But then netspend rejected the purchase showing on SM's side as stolen card. This is what the live chat support told me. I check my account and there are no charges for SM showing. Netspend released the money back into my account without contacting me. Meanwhile SM closed the account the on the same date I contacted support. I asked could I update the account with a new card and pay the amount and was told to contact my bank. I opened a new customer account linked to a different card but this time it's asking me to load money into my SM account. Instead of drawing the money directly from my bank account.

My question is do you think this is the new norm for customers or is it because of what happened with my old account? Lately I've had quite a few guys say I need to "load" my account...brb. I thought they were just bullshitting me, but some of them do come back and spend. And I'm pretty sure they were new to the site too.

I've had guys say that too or they've said "I need to add credits". I remember I think it was Glamourmilf who mentioned a few customers saying credit as well. I thought they just meant that that needed to add a card and were just using the term load or credit because they frequent other sites with those types of systems. But now that you've stated this I'm thinking that they really did mean they needed to load their account.

Hi everyone,

I am new to this site and am confused on how to start a thread on taxes, or access other threads that have been started on taxes. I made over 32,400 in 2015. 10 thousand from stripping and random childcare jobs. I am a full time student and allowed myself to think that I was invisible to the IRS given my small net income.. Now I am frightened that the IRS will audit me if I don't file this year thanks to the horror stories I read online about audits..
If any dancers on here DO file taxes, I would highly appreciate any of your advice on how you filed as an independent contractor.

Also, If you report only a fraction of your profits (Example- 25k, only 15k reported) And have not been audited please let me know. I am trying to determine if this is a possibility to do when I do file.

THANKS, NUBCOLE

thank fuck, i thought something was up on my end. like 0 traffic and nothing but a bunch of fucking freeloaders, mother fuckers giving me demands (thats my INSTABAN red flag) and just those obnoxious dirty talkers who will sit there and talk to you for fucking days and days and days with very annoyingly detailed paragraphs that you havent replied to at all but for some reason still keep going, and for the past few nights its that same ass freeloading names in and out of my room all fucking night, i think im gonna take tonight to block these cock suckers. Fuck im so annoyed but at least its not a technical issue and shit so fuck it, ill just grit my teeth and bare it. Hopefully i get one big spender tonight, or at least a decent spender. Made bank on sunday and now i cant make fucking barely 40 dollars a night. Minute men mother fuckersalksdjalkj3iojeoanksndlsjadmk. I guess that is all.....for fucking now.

sorry for double posting but FUCK THIS, i can already see how tonight is gonna go. I have already had three dudes dip mid conversation and one of them was a regular so this is fucking bullshit. As per usual i checked fucking everything and its going fine so FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. Im giving it another hour and if its the same im fucking getting off. i wasted a whole fucking night dealing with this bullshit once hoping it would get its shit together and it didnt. what i dont get is why the fuck my cammodels link is showing a perfectly fine stream. Its not blocky or pixilated and its not a huge delay, im so confused

can someone check it for me? i should be on consistently for the next hour

I took the night off from SM. After the last two nights of guys freeloading and making about $50 tops in 3 hours....I said screw this shit...

thank you! why the fuck does it look super smooth on my end like aint shit wrong? and thats been pretty much my last couple nights for sure accept i spent a lot more then three hours trying to swoop in on some cash. My car needs to see the doc and i need that skrill, so i think im just gonna do a couple hours tonight and just hop off if it gets to dead. not worth losing sleep when im not making money damnit.

I wouldn't risk reporting only a fraction..that is playing with fire.. (There are tons of threads regarding taxes) From what I've heard, you very well could get audit if you didn't report anything for the $32,400 in addition to the $10,000. That will hardly go unnoticed..

so my question is should i just get off? what would you do if you had two different people tell you the opposite thing. Is it there internet connection? or the site? again apologies for blowing up this thread

I had some guys with weird names taken me pvt, even someone with only numbers; bottomline some are to dumb to make up a username but they can still spend!!

From today:

I covered up his name partly but there where even more numbers at the end (so just random numbers and letters)

I've had some of these guys tell me they signed up through pornhub (?? I think, I know it was a tube site) and tell me that it was a name that they got assigned.
A lot of them have become big spenders for me. Idc what their usernames are or where they come from as long as they join my damn shows. :rotfl:

Streamate is giving me such a hard time.

I just checked on my other computer. When I type "test" onto my other computer as I say it aloud at the same time..... the text shows up immediately... but it takes my voice 10-20 seconds to catch up.
I'm not choppy. Just lagging.

I'm using the SM broadcaster. 4up, 60down, brand new gamer laptop. Rebooted internet/laptop. Hardwired in. Are any of you guys having a tough time with this?

Same here. Sjsjejsjsj383838383838, jsjsjjsjssj777 , fjsjsj383828 only ever lurks. I stopped greeting those 'people' months ago.

I'm like a Walmart door greeter. You get a hello, you get a hello, you get a hello. Dnsjsjjaj48483 does not get a hello cause let's face it, none of em not once has ever said a word. I'm wondering if someone (whitelabel) with a different payout plan is cheating sign ups somehow cause I believe one of the choices is a % per sign up.

somewhere in november last year the traffic to my room totally died. I'm talking maybe 5 guys entering and then leaving in half an hour. I've tried doing more hours, different times, different rates, a friend's expensive af macbook... I even tried from a friend's house because they have the best internet connection that's available. it's not my cam because the quality is the same as it has always been. both laptops are i7s, yet I can't use sm broadcaster because it always has a huge lag no matter what i do.

Yes, I've banned very high spending regulars because they either got too clingy or they just made me feel shitty. No one has the right to make you feel bad. It is absolutely not worth the hassle of putting up with an entitled regular who thinks they own you. Get rid of them or give them an ultimatum. If they break your rules, you break their nuts. You do not owe him anything. Fuck that noise.

I don't think its you. Traffic has been different since Streamgate. It also seems like the more glitches the site has the funkier the traffic gets. Alot of ladies have mentioned feeling a difference and have said they've put more eggs in their basket and or focused on other sites more.

All the time. If they stop spending, go months without spending, start trying to low ball me I will ban them. I don't even give banning them a second thought when they become disrespectful.
