Everytime I log on to my account, I dread seeing there's a message because it most likely will be about a contest Lol
Really quiet for me. Sometimes I'll be off on another tab looking at something and the notification sound of someone coming in to free chat will startle me cause it's been so long since I've heard it Lol

Same, slow and just either dead or in and out ugh

Regarding contests in august, i remember 10 days of contest in august and i think it was last year?! They called it hot summer nights or so.

Its not too late to throw a contest but what i hope is, they loosing money with these contests so they stop the madness already, it is excessive anyway.

It was 2016. You can check the contest page (Show more contests) to see everything they had since forever.
I don't think they are loosing money with contests at all! Sometimes they blow almost 100K on prizes (monthly best face). To be that "generous" with models is not out of their merciful souls, it's profit, plain and planned profit.

August is probably the least profitable and marketable/convertible month. Otherwise, if there was a lot of potential, they would pump us with contests.

I can give you some numbers for last contest (Bikini one) cause I know how some girls in the top placed. A handful of women made over 47K for SM (just SM cut) in 3 consecutive days. SM gave them back 10K in prizes. That's a profit of at least 37K in 3 days, from a few models, damn, even more, cause I don't know how much all of them made.

Consider they have thousands online, thousands. That contest was worth 40K in prizes. Now imagine if every girl in top 200 made at least 1K to place. That would be 370K profit for SM minimum. And it's actually more (probably double or triple) cause not everybody made 1K, some of them made 2.5, 3, 5K and so on and between. And not everybody has 35% cut, some have 30%. Again, more money than we initially estimated. I don't know where the idea of "SM doesn't make money during contests" came, but numbers prove it damn wrong, damn wrong. Our money might get splitted between us (cause more girls online), but SM has the big pocket. They don't care if 3 girls make 1K or it 1 girl makes 3K, it's same profit for them. Preferably, they would like more girls to make more and trust me, top chicks rock their time online, scoring 5 numbers everyday during a contest.

I like statistics and I can tell you, contest earnings are raising from year to year. I used to place much higher with less last year. That can only tell you a thing, models are making more to win and that's all SM cares about, profiting from their top models to drain themselves online. I truly invite all of you to see how you placed last year with the same money, you will eventually see this pattern.

It literally took 8 hrs to earn high goal. The slowness was enough to drive me to drink. I mean, 15 min would go by without a soul entering. I legit thought my listing was broke.

I'm surprised I lasted 8 hrs. I wanted to hang myself at 2.5 hrs. Grueling. If I wanna survive this summer I'm gonna have to get comfortable with 13% interaction in 8 hrs.

LAWD have mercy on my soul.

To be honest, if I want to place top 20, contests tend to be a little slower. If I work my normal hours (5-6h) things are cool. But everytime I try to cross that 8-10h mark, I can feel the pressure and competion and I'm not getting any younger.
Sometimes random weeks are slower than contest weeks. Two contests ago it was slow as fuck. Last contest I was rocking it (and not with my regulars, but new guys), no true pattern in my case. For me it's a way of getting a higher comission (that's how I see it, winning something will get me a bigger cut).
I haven't experienced major glitches, things are hot and cold from time to time.

I have a minimum I want to make every week. For my last 3 years on the website, I've been able to reach it with 25-30h. Now, I'm not saying I'm pleased with that minimum, but it's a mental amount, something that keeps me pushing for another week (things are not fucked yet, you did minimum, you're doing good, girl). Plus, I tend to keep records of every month and usually there is not a big difference, maybe 15-20%.

I truly believe things will settle once SMConnect is 100% implemented. It's already better than what SMB used to be back in the days. More stable, easier to fix.

Im getting that weird glitch where I dont have notification of new emails but if I check my inbox there are new emails there. I dont really care cause normally my emails are stupid shit that I dont even reply to but I do like to know just for the guys who tip me after a show so I can send them a "thank you"

Anyone seeing this?

I Just thought it was weird cause I wasnt getting any messages and I normally get one or two ass hats a day asking how they can meet me to fuck or to go to another site so I checked it and sure enough there are new messages I just didnt receive notification. Im not going to message SM about it. I will just wait to see if it resolves by next week but I just have to remember to check my inbox manually :D

I'm getting a super weird glitch on SMConnect where the scroll bar in the chat locks and so the chat window doesn't autoscroll. It happens after I've been streaming for a little while but it's SO FUCKING ANNOYING because I have to disconnect and open a new window to fix it. Has anyone experienced this? I wonder if it's my browser or something.

I felt like that ALL DAY YESTERDAY. Dudes come in, don't say or type anything whatsoever, or they come in and start a conversation and then bounce out. WTF? I am new to camming, but when I started back in April, I was banking at LEAST $200 a week (I stream exclusively on SM). I have $7 in earnings and its Saturday. Oh and last night a regular customer (at least once a week basis) just decided to not tip anything whatsoever after our nearly 2 HOUR skype session. How do I approach this? He is always very generous, and has tipped upwards of $100 just for some pics....it's not like him too "forget." I do not want to be rude, but I also do not work for free. Not to mention I denied my partner much needed alone time together, in hopes of a few hundred to get us through till he gets paid again.

Sorry if off topic. I wasn't sure where to post, or to start a new thread. Is this a rookie mistake and I should suck it up, and move on? Or should I say something? And how do I do it assertively, yet somewhat politely?? I have had weekly sessions with this customer since late April, and never ever had a single problem. Never even had to ask or hint.

ALWAYS get paid first, so not do shows before you’re paid - you can mention it but I’d say don’t expect he will pay

also on the nite of earnings, I’d pick up some more eggs if you’re not earning what you want to

So I tried SMConnect twice. I love being able to stream only with/from the browser. It reminded me of before the adobe encoder was introduced. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut I hate the layout. I'm so use to the room topic being on the left and paid and guest chat members being on the right. The new layout is annoying, it gave me a headache and I felt paranoid that I wasn't getting the same amount of traffic. I couldn't even last a week using it lmao. I used it for 2 days and then ran back to the classic and obs.

Miss_ShaSha
07-13-2019, 04:01 PM
^^It took a lot of getting used to. I've been using it since Dec 18. There have been many upgrades since then and it's so much nicer, but I was hooked on FMLE for the longest. Plus phone still isn't an option so it sucks.

I hear you. It's def a change and may not necessarily be famous for you until you've streamed with it for a month. I say that as it took a month for me to get used to it and like it. Now I feel strange using FMLE.

When I logged off last night I was on page 1. Then I log on this afternoon and I couldn't find myself AT ALL. I was still getting visitors, but I wasn't even sure how they were finding me.

So after 20 min I refreshed SMConnect Web Encoder, then 10 min later I showed up on page 1.

It's a glitch. It will resolve itself within 30 min.

Thanks, I’ll remember that for next time. I already logged off because I only got one decent customer and a steady stream of freeloaders and incredibly stupid comments, and it killed my vibe. I may log on late tonight though, since I often find the late night customers are better.

I think next week will be a ghost town. A lot of models are going to be online, I mean, a lot. Everybody and their mommas. :)) It's free prizes for most of models. Big competion going on and a lot of time online invested. Traffic will be splitted between 2K models at a time, probably. This contest might bump up the number way over 2K. Arm yourself with patience.

I don't think they ever did such a huge commission. Most I've seen was 30%. Now they are doing even 35% and 50% and top models are in for that.
