Keep in mind, if you send your own traffic to SM and have them sign up with your cammodels link you get to keep 75%. It's not much different than sending them to an indie paysite and using Skype. I'd say it's definitely worth using SM for the convenience when you're bringing your own traffic.
I concur...

Thank you for your input as when it comes to sites to work on I am kinda still easily swayed by model commentary lol Because I trust you guys to keep it real - not their fault they're just stating their opinions and current emotions (not saying it's anyones fault for my conclusion.) I'll still use it, but in the meantime/downtime... I just dusted off my CMD account & Skyprivate, will be using IB as well for shows... About to get this blog and promo content cranked up this week. I'm excited.
for sure. I would add that if you're prone to "being swayed by model commentary" to go peruse the Camming Rocks thread every once in a while for good measure. You're in a thread that is dedicated to bitching about SM so obviously the comments here are super biased (not saying they aren't justified). But lots of girls also post good stories about SM in other threads.

I too tend to be swayed by what I read in these threads. Reading through the recent posts here cause me to be really concerned especially since I am new to SM. I do plan to sign up for other sites and try to add "eggs to my basket" but I'm really disheartened about how its going currently on SM as I had hoped to make this my main site. If it weren't for the two "whales" I have I would have only made hardly anything this week so far. While I'm thankful for those two men. I'm also really nervous as to how this will play out in the weeks to come. :/
I'm glad that I've found this forum though. It's made the whole process so much easier to navigate and it's so nice not being in the dark wondering if its me, the customers, the site itself etc...

Nice to see I'm back on page 2 tonight. Unlike earlier where it took forever to find me then I managed to pop up on page 4/5. Hopefully that glitch is few and far between as it seems like a few of us got tossed to areas we normally are not at in positioning.

Placement is so wonky. The entire home page was super odd.

Is placement totally messed up for anyone else? I’m seeing models all over the place. I’m on page 8 right now, lol.

anytime they are working on the site there will be glitches, it's impossible to update and or modify without it causing a pocket somewhere, it takes time for it to iron it all out and everything stream seamlessly...servers are not cooperative with updates...

I hope it's temporary cuz I can't even find myself unless I search for my name. Dunno if it's bc I have my location blocked but I think it takes 24hrs to go into effect anyway.

Do the numbers before a member's name represent the grand total number of times they've taken you to a show or does it reset each month? I'm confused on some of these guys and I have only been on SM since mid-Sept.

no that number represents the amount of money they've spent in your room.
I forget what all the different tiers are, but they go from 1 to 5. 3 gives them a "bronze", 4 a "silver", and 5 a "gold" medal with their number.
I want to say anything between $5 and $100 spent gets the guy a level 1 status. i think level 2 is $101-$500?
after that i'm not totally sure what the other tiers are, so perhaps someone can chime in? though I'm fairly certain that guys have to spend $10,000 to hit level 5. (that's $10,000 on you alone, not in general on other models.) in five years of camming i have had four guys reach level 5 status.
i'm busy/on mobile right now but later I'll go see if there's anything in the Streamate Help section that clarifies this.

It’s how much they have spent on you. The more they spend the higher the number.

Man, chk still hasn't arrived. I have about $400 in bills due very soon. I can pay them with the next chk coming on Monday IF that one arrives on time. I haven't stopped & asked for reissue yet. I was hoping the chk would have shown up by now.
Fuck, now I gotta stop & request reissue & wait a whole other week to get paid. This is upsetting.

Just an FYI.... yes you can click on the little phone icon to turn your phone on in SMC but you have to set it up each time to only have you be called in exclusive. Just learned this the hard way. It defaults to private and exclusive every time you log on.

Is anyone having problems with losing the streaming connection and being kicked out of shows?
I've been kicked out of a show twice now, it said streaming connection lost but it's definitely SM as I'm still streaming on my other sites with no problem at all and none of them have disconnected!

Hardly getting any traffic, I'm assuming only from guys who have favorited me. There are thousands of models online yet only 299 US/UK/AUS girls online rn. I should be near the top of that list yet I'm nowhere to be found there or anywhere. Can only find myself if I search my name.
A new contest week is fast approaching and I might just give up on SM and go back to token sites :/

I had an issue once this week where my stream disconnected on me. I was using SMB at the time, so I switched back to SMConnect

My stream dropped at least 4 times yesterday (and THEN the power ironically went out in my entire area for about 15 minutes) so it was frustrating. I'm surprised I made anything at all with how fickle my connection was.

Hey! I’m new to camming but have been researching it for awhile while I got my camera and lighting purchased. I was going to start on Streammate today but the latest posts have me skeptical about traffic. Is there a better site to start on now? I have accounts with MFC and Adultwork but wanted to start on SM. Thanks!

"Better" is relative. The same girls complaining about SM will turn around and defend it if asked what site a new girl should stream on (I'm one of the girls who would defend it). You just have to try different sites and see which is better for you.

Every girl is going to be different, don't go by what someone may post here. I may have a great day and you may not. There is no science to it. As for being new to the site, now is your time to gain regulars. Jump on for an 1-2 hours and see what happens. Good luck!

As above! aw is my main site but tonight niteflirt paid my bills, last night it was sm. Tomorrow i bet it will be aw again. Pick at least 2 sites, work them both and get to know them. We've passed the days where you could rely on just one site. And you won't know anything until you get started :)

I really do think SM is top of the list of dating site circulation because I had a guy come in one afternoon, I'm doing the nudging of suggestive talk towards a private show
me: Hmmm you hard for me bb
him: I am
Me: oooh we should do something about that, I wanna make you feel better, you stroking for me?
Him: No, rubbing it doesn't do anything for me
Me: Hmmm well maybe I can tease it out of you
Him: I rather feel it and be inside of an actual pussy
Me: *Mood/ energy completely changes* Ok dude Idk what to tell you then, sorry. *Ignore mode kicks in* And I see at the bottom of the screen
Him: Thanks for trying to accommodate me though
I think- well while dumb shit like this is rare I had the strong urge to block him after he said that, but let the shit roll off like water cause it really wasn't... Idk lololol like this ain't that free fuck pussy app those porn ads promised you & you saying all of that and not evening tipping def didn't grant you any favors of pussy sir, that's why you're online still hunting lame ass.

Is anyone else having issues with the phone feature on Streamate? I have customers trying to call, but none of the phone calls are going thru.
What number is correct?!
When i look on my phone using Puffin browser i see +3400 models online but when i look on Puffin browser on PC i see +2300?!
I got confused when people here talked about 3k online models as i saw 2k something only but now i see myself over 3k on phone! Still confused!!?

I havent been able to see the number of models online since the new layout rolled out

11-19-2019, 04:36 PM
You can see the number by minimizing the window and and clicking on the magnifying glass on the upper right hand corner.
I wouldn't trust those numbers because they vary from browser to browser. Once upon a time I used to have this belief if the model count was over "x" I gave myself a complex about that, along with the placement theory.
Now I just get my ass online.
^^^ Yes, i know how to look up with the magnifying glass on phone, i am just confused of why on phone i see over 3.4k models online and on PC i see 2k, it's a huge difference!
Maybe on phone they display & also count the models who have geoblock on and on PC they show the number of models who DONT have geoblock on?!
I just cant figure out why there is the difference between the two devices?!

On Edge and on Chrome the numbers differ that's being signed in on both with a members account.
I think they broke up something.

11-20-2019, 04:07 PM
My opinion is we will never know the true number.
I think it is exaggerated for the customers mental.
the more models the longer customer stay online

Like it was not enough ONE week contest there is another FOUR days contest right after this one and the way they phrased it pisses me off really: "Feeling hungry? We've got you covered with the Four Course Contest event happening on Nov 27-30 (GMT). We're running four single-day contests, with prizes given to the top 200 performers for each day!" -> i know is Thanksgiving related ('the feeling hungry' sentence) but it's 'hunger games' related as well :(
I was looking forward for this contest to end so i can make some money here as this week is abysmal but no, there are FOUR more days to endure a dead room with no traffic and no business :(

I don't know why contests seem a surprise anymore. SM is going that pathway and if you look at last years, you'll see the schedule for it. For any holiday, they have a contest or more days splitted into multiple rounds and they also do the montly best face (7 days).
^^^ I am soo hungry here i cant see straight anymore muhahaa, i just dont remember anything anymore, my sugar is at a very low level!
These contests just got me permanently hungry and i will bitch about them ALL THE DAMN TIME AND EVERYTIME out of hunger cause i am always suffering money wise during them.
