Ive been making more money on my sexting app than i have on streamate lol thats concerning considering i have the sexting app just for extra income and now im low key relying on it to make up for my pitiful paychecks from SM.

and now another contest? so the same models can place and make a fat bonus they dont need while we make chump change? also only a $25 BONUS IF YOU MAKE 250??? I am not gonna say the number but i used to make wayyy more than that easy in a week and now its hard to even reach $250, as embarrassing as it is to say.

im starting to hate this website for real.

That's why they switched to 25 hours AND $250 I'm sure because in the beginning when they did a bonus it was for time streamed. Now as $250 isn't nearly as common they can give out that bonus carrot, have lots of models online trying to get it but only actually have to pay a few.

as far as recording shows/privates on streamate: it works fine for me, quality is great and easy to edit using my filmora. BUT I have noticed on a few of my videos, the last minute is frozen. And these are 10-15 min clips. It seems to keep recording, (even though on SMC it says it's still recording) but stops frozen the last min or 90 seconds. Any one else having this issue?
Hope they work out the glitches, because I like this feature

I had to absolutely bust my ass last time to get the $250 and 25 hours streamed. It was the most Ive ever streamed in a week on SM. For the average, cisgender model on the first page or two its probably a lot easier, but back here in the boonies where the freaks reside (meant in the best way possible) its a struggle. Im so sick of contests. Throw us a goddamn bone and just give us a fuckin bonus week already.

It will vary every contest but it isn’t that high. Usually 700 ish a day will get you in the top hundred sometimes less.

Man, just shaking my head. And I thought avg $14 an hr yesterday for 5 hrs was bad. I'd be grateful to be getting that right now.

Minutes go by and no one enters my room. I'm thinking of just logging off to try tomorrow, but what if a whale comes by during my hrs.

I gotta be positive right now. I've got 2.5 more hrs. Just gotta smile and try.

This week has been brutal! Monday was the only day I made my goal. The other days since, I haven't even came close. Gearing up for another contest. I fucking hate everyone coming in my room right now. I had a long time regular that rated me 1 star and get his pathetic ass blocked. I'm not in the mood for any bullshit right now.

Neah. With 1K per day you will catch top 30 probably. You usually need above 1K (total for 3 days) to be top 200. It varies, ofc, but those are the aprox numbers.

well with my rate per hour right now I would have to be online for 22 hours straight per day so probably ain't gonna happend that I will get into top 200 but I will keep trying anyway. Maybe one day.

I know I already bitched about my missing paycheck but I'm so pissed I could put my fist through a wall right now! Haven't been this angry in years.

It's so stupid that I have to be super careful now what food I buy for the weekend because I didn't even get paid. Why the HELL can't Streamate provide us a reliable way to get our money that won't cost $120 a damn month?

Now I have to decide whether to tough it out and hope it shows up or pay them yet more money to reissue a check. I can't help but think it's something wrong on Streamate's end because I have been getting my other mail (mostly bills) on time. Really not wanting to work for the site at all now though I need to force myself to get online.

During the best 2 days out of a week contest this past summer I billed $1075 one day and like $855 the other day. I barely scraped into the top 50 and ended up like #45 or #46, LOL. Anyone who is making it into the top 20 is probably doing at least $1.5k a day and the top 10 is probably more like $2k+ if not way more.

I have one question HOW? How to be so successfull on sm? I am here for 4 years already and barely have 4000 followers. I can't get more than 300$ a day. I am so tired after 6 hours online. How do you stay bubbly, fresh and positive for so long? My rates are not so low but not high as hell (IMHO average comparing to others).

I mean just to start, some will not like this answer...but you have to fit a type of porn standard almost perfectly. It can be bimbo, bbw, milf, black, asian, teen, girl next door, domme, whatever. Guys may jump from type to type but that's what they want. It's harsh but we are in the adult industry. Some will of COURSE break this mold but they are not the standard. You can convert but you need to push an image pretty damn hard even if that "image" is that you are real. Just own it. Some girls bitch and complain all the time and get their white knights; some act like they are the shit, both are not always the nicest person on the site. I am a brat 50% of the time and sweet the other 50% I base this on who pays my bills, but most guys tend to appreciate that I am confident in my skills and worth. I guess the simple answer is to stick to one/a couple things that you feel comfortable in and push hard. If in 4 years you haven't evolved maybe consider if your image represents what you currently represent and go from there. I have had to move into more of a cougar direction as I age whereas I started with a much younger bimbo type when I started.

Ok I am here to inform any webcam model that has ever streamed while pregnant!!! I did through 2 and have discovered a large group of members on a site called (DM for name) recording all our chat rooms and shows and posting them here. Repeated copyright infringement from these people and we need to fight back. I'm seeing this too often now and I feel the need to get the word out to search here if you streamed while pregnant. I know there are other places for non pregnant models as well so please keep an eye out so these mother f****ers stop taking money out of our pockets!!!!! Please share everywhere!!!!

Pretty much this. I'm not a conventional babe type at all, I just leaned in to being sorta alt and "edgy" looking and just wearing what is comfortable to me on cam and that's when I started making money, when I let myself just be an exaggerated version of whatever and rolled with it but stuck to an image and persona. It also helps if you play up an asset. Do you have a nice booty? Big tits/lips? Put a spotlight on it (without giving it away for free of course). Also this is probably going to be an unpopular suggestion because it's a divisive issue amongst camgirls but your income will absolutely see an uptick if you get a tip vibe.

Yes one thing I appreciate with streamate is that they do help models with things like this with no question. I know it happens to everyone and I constantly make sure I scan the web to protect myself. Everything I've done is strictly on streamate no social media whatsoever and I do not sell content either and I've been camming for almost 5 years now. This was a lot and I mean a lot of my streams and shows from members who I knew as regulars! I am just disgusted by the community on there. They all came after me and bullying me saying cammodels dont have rights and there is no such thing as copyright scams. Total bs basically and just ignorant bastards!!!

I have a tip vibe I use it everytime and to be honest most of my income comes from tips on freechat. Also I have all others from lovense line so my clients can get full control in private.And yes I have one personality which I am trying to stick to. I am trying to be myself I don't sit and complain. I am bubbly, smiling and I think that's why ppl like me and my show. I focus on chat all the time talking with clients (Iam trying not to type). I dont let myself to for example watch netflix during slow time so they have 100% of my attention. I am bot sure if doing gold shows with low goal is good idea (like 30$ or 50$) but from the other hand I've never did even a half of higher goal (150$ for example). Any tips for this?

When I first started camming, I tried the bubbly personality, hot girl next door kind of thing...but it didn't work for me. I was exhausted by the end of shifts from pretending to be a different person. I closed that model account and decided to come up with a new cam persona that was super sultry and seductive, domineering, more in line with my own personality, but an over the top version of it with domination as the key focus. I don't do anal, extreme toy play, no tip vibes, or anything against streamate terms...I don't even flash in free chat, although I do have big boobs. I'm not really sure what the perfect formula is for success. Over the years, I've ready about models that start new accounts and never achieve the same success and others that still do.

my main things with SM are:

1. focus only on the room
2. say hi to everyone
3. when i get a response of hi back, ask how they're doing today
4. if it's someone i've had a show with before, make a comment about whatever thing they're into to egg them into another show with me
5. when i get to the end of the list, if there are others that have not said hi, i'll ask if they're being a fly on the wall, too shy to say hi, or something that will prompt them to write
6. when i get to the end of that list, i start kicking the ones that don't type
7. hope i get a show somewhere in steps 1-7

i've been on SM since jan 2015. i make sure to always take detailed notes of sessions so i can be reminded what particular custies like, or at what point they left if they end the show abruptly, anything that helps if i might have another show with them

Have you tried Opera? Recording works on it so if it picks up your cam you can use it instead of FF.

It's stressful enough worrying about how much money we're going make per week. Add to that the stress of it being Russian roulette just to see if our check will arrive.
As I mentioned before, I have decided to use FedEx until my mailbox is replaced.
However, after observing the way Usps handles mail, I'm not sure.
For the last 2 months,
I have to go into the post office to pick up my mail.
They've given me: a pile of my neighbor's mail, a pile of mail belonging to a doctor's office......NOT even located on my street!!! OMG!
I stood in line behind two elderly women. They were there to pick up all of their mail that the post office was holding while they were gone for the summer. The clerk said that there was nothing in their box! They kept asking how that could be? All the clerk did was shrug her shoulders and give a smug, "I dunno." Next.
I've seen lots of other unscrupulous things, which would take up this entire thread.
I love that FedEx not only delivers my check FIVE days earlier than usps does ( on a GOOD Week). But, they also do it with a smile.

I was in the top 500 for this contest I think I was like rank 401. I streamed for like 27 hours or so and with the 100 bonus my check was 1700. Hope this gives you a better idea. It is possible without making 1000 a day😊

Turns out that my sound issues are caused by logitech software. A lot of guys said they can't hear me or that my sound is very low. It is low indeed and very bad quality when I check myself. This happens with lws280 software.

With the latest software, LogiSettings, sound is loud and clear and no complains.

But the exposure. Is there a way to adjust exposure in the latest one? I don't see it. Old one had exposure setting. This one shows me bright, washed out, it s just horrible. Help, I wasted all of my shift trying to fix this exposure shit!

Only thing i refuse to do is say hi to everybody. Makes me feel like a used car salesman, I get way too many runners when I give immediate attention. Now they have to work for it.

Just did my second successful gold show. It almost didn't happen. Made goal in like 2 minutes, and when the 2 minute countdown started, my dumb ass thought it was gonna auto start. NOPE. So I never started it and lost all the damn money! I almost cried. Most of the original spenders fucking left, instead of just tipping again and starting over with me. Then one guy, who didn't tip a damn thing, kept being a dick to me about it. Luckily, I got some spenders back and was able to do the show but, it still pisses me off. I legit want to cry.

On top of that, it was a lot of work and I'm fucking tired. I'm never this tired when I just do private shows, but this gold show has killed me. I need a damn nap but I can't take one because this was the first hour of my 5 hour shift! FML.

High priority means your using their broadcaster

a lot of girls do better on MFC- I’m not a token girl

we’ve had site issues since day 1. I have a stack of computers burned to hell running Streamate only. Be prepared for site issues.
Possible blown up computers. esp when running other sites.

you are not alone- many models feel that way ❤️ ❤️

we have a different culture of men vs 5 years ago
I’ve never cussed so many ppl out for simply being dumb. Streamate is breeding men that say they can’t afford porn

I read the other day it’s the millennials being stingy. Lol

How much sleep are you getting?
vitamena? Coffee?
Sometimes sun helps your moods. There is red light therapy in tanning beds that doesn’t tan the skin. You might need the light

when i first started in 2015 i was in a studio (a terrible one lol ive been independent for a while now) and they told me to say hi to everyone. plus they would monitor us so i felt pressure to look like im always 100% focused on making $$$. then again in 2015 my room would constantly have traffic and conversation id be so busy i couldn't even keep up with saying hi to everyone because id be swept into pvt effortlessly. now i sit there and ignore them until they talk to me because saying hi to them does absolutely nothing.

they dont stay.

its draining. i just randomly spam my auto texts saying like the generic "hi guys welcome!" or that i have shows available and my tip menu. the site has changed for the worst. its sad how negatively i think of it now but i still have hope that this drought wont last forever...sigh

It's stressful enough worrying about how much money we're going make per week. Add to that the stress of it being Russian roulette just to see if our check will arrive.
As I mentioned before, I have decided to use FedEx until my mailbox is replaced.
However, after observing the way Usps handles mail, I'm not sure.
For the last 2 months,
I have to go into the post office to pick up my mail.
They've given me: a pile of my neighbor's mail, a pile of mail belonging to a doctor's office......NOT even located on my street!!! OMG!
I stood in line behind two elderly women. They were there to pick up all of their mail that the post office was holding while they were gone for the summer. The clerk said that there was nothing in their box! They kept asking how that could be? All the clerk did was shrug her shoulders and give a smug, "I dunno." Next.
I've seen lots of other unscrupulous things, which would take up this entire thread.
I love that FedEx not only delivers my check FIVE days earlier than usps does ( on a GOOD Week). But, they also do it with a smile.

Hey Glam! I'm a travel roadie and if you want to..maybe consider joining the daily pay by bolyen models. It shows up everyday no matter where you are. Worth the 5% they charge. I went homeless 4 years ago because of lost SM checks while on vacation. Never again . I highly recommend them. Hope it works out for u...

its just insane to me since i was doing so well a few months ago... wtf happened? like Ive done no drastic changes to my set up, room, or self. everything is the same, speed test says my internet is gucci... but day after day lately im online on SM probably on like the 20th page (i use geoblock so i cant check) and im there lookin cute and dudes are just in and out in and out all day long. i know most girls say STFO but how cani if im making zero for the entire hour thus pushing my placement down further? its liike a catch 22. im not going to quit yet but have been considering trying MFC or CB but im a little intimidated by the concept of a token site. im just venting really but i feel like im getting kicked while im already down. last week was literally the worst week of my life and coming on cam and actually making some money wouldve helped but no here i am in tears after an entire hour of zero people coming in my room:'(

Bruhhhhhh my first EVER successful gold show ended just like that. I made goal immediately in like the first 2 minutes and was so fucking excited.....and it didn't start. That is literally the worst way to learn that gold shows don't auto-start on their own. I feel for you.

Like Erika said...it's not just you. This whole week, except for Sunday, it's felt like a fucking contest. I took 5 days off a few weeks ago and came back to a serious slump. It was so upsetting. Just no good paying traffic.

I'm halfway down page 1, but it's like I'm on page 10. I've been grateful for the small amount of regulars I have. I can still pay my bills however as long as I stream my regular schedule and put in at least 25 hrs a week.

Sending you good vibes.

I never understood NOT having an auto start, even if you make the goal too. I wish we had some options where we can set the gold show to auto start if a certain amount is made or auto start at the goal. Would also be nice if we could "add" certain members as a reward to GS

Yes I think the millennial men are stingy cuz I ask what they do for a living and they have really great jobs but cheap .. the same jobs men used to be generous with.
