Is it just me or did anyone else's income go completely down for the month of May? I was looking over every pay day and i went even below half of what i was making. Like a drastic drop. I was making about 150/day and now i am averaging 50 on a good night. been making 28 dollars for six hours. wtf i have no idea what is going on. i have good equipment and upload speed and specs. everything on my end seems good. But i am not making enough to support my family anymore. is there anyone else going through the same thing? i work about 6 hours a night and it's just not cutting it.

do you sell content? have you tried dropping your rates by a bit to see if you can build up some more regs? do you work on any clip sites?

I uninstalled the newer version as i felt it was not working well on my system and i got the older version from a cam model friend, installed it and having no issues here, then i found my own .exe file in D drive there, maybe u have the older .exe file for the old version still, the setup file?
Now everytime i open up the broadcaster and it's asking me to update i click Cancel and go on.
The newer version seems to work best with i7's or equivalent but i have an i5 HP desktop PC with 8GB ram and for me it's not working well, i could 'feel it' not letting people connect to my room or stay in, now with the older version i dont have major issues.

^^^ Not sure why as others say its working great for them?!
I assumed it's because of my i5 pc but now u have issues with ur i7 hmm
Dont know man, that software is crazy with the way it's calibrating & all.
What resolution u streaming with by the way? You got to read Liz's instruction of how to not re-calibrate after we set the right resolution of 1280x720? But even i did this in my case i was not happy with how people came in and left right away or in the middle of conversation so i uninstalled the damn thing.

Some i3 are faster than some i7. It depends which i7 version you have.

Just because your pc cost $1000 doesnt mean you have a great i7 cpu.

Kat has a fast rated i5 cpu that is worth a fair bit. It all comes down to the end numbers like core 2 duo E5900.

I7 6400k. Etc etc. A fx8250 clocks to 5gig better than a fx9590 stock.

But when overclocking comes in and turbos the cpu speeds again are all different. For example my athlon x4 860k is 3.7gig stock and turbos to 4.7gig.

Its worth checking in your bios to make sure hypertreads is enabled.

But the actual speed comes down to the end numbers.

As a foot note ram speed might also be a bottleneck. So if you have shared memory graphics and slow 1800 ram thats also a factor in the cpus bandwidth.

I sorted it out. it was a power usage issue. I just ordered another laptop, so either way I'll be alright I guess.

Strange normally laptops and pc have balanced power setting which you can change in power management to high performance mode.

I found the old version in my .exe files and deleted the new version and going back to the old SM broadcaster. I've had massive issues with the updated version and rtt with the other fmle encoder. Don't fix what isn't broken SM. I'm doing this now and hope my issues are gone after I finish up. Look in your downloads folder

40 minutes of nothing, started a $100 gold show so I could make the last $30 i need for my fucking goal, hit my gs goal, and of course in the last 12 seconds of my gold show, sm glitched. I'm so fucking pissed right now. I did a 6 minute and 48 second show for free because they can't get their shit together. to top it off, it took me another 90 minutes to make that $30 back... so 2hrs and 20 minutes to make $30. I hope their gs programmer deep throats a cactus!

$40 in 6 hours with nearly constant glitches and then a lovely message from Streamate saying they're planning on more contests in the next couple of months >:(. I think SM is going to be another Live Jasmine within a year, maybe 2 tips.

I wouldn't doubt if the next one is before the end of this month. I wonder if they'll keep adding days to it (wasn't the last one over 4 days long?) Maybe they'll lose their popularity. So many of the top earners were so stressed out by the end of the contest, some might not think it's worth it next time.

SM sure is different from what it was when I started in 2011. Back then you weren't even allowed to be topless or do flashes.

I think the leaderboard made models work longer and harder (more money for them & SM) but it made them pretty frustrated too i think, just to see u placed high then dropping several spots in a matter of hrs, that's a mind teaser for sure, the contests and leaderboard are a sword with 2 blades i reckon, let's see how they continue, i know i dont want SM another LJ but it's on the way there already....

5 Minutes on SM today... and I logged the fuck back off. It refused to let me use the SM broadcaster (Just kept crashing upon launch, ugh) and then within those 5 minutes, ins, outs, nothing to say, except the one dude who chats and then asks for free shit. I just can't do this site. How on Earth can anyone sit there for hours like that is beyond me. Gosh I miss when there used to at least be freeloaders trying to chat with you once in a while...

it's infuriating that losers can book a block chat so they can purposely log out under 3 minutes and STILL get the discounted rate. when they pull that bullshit we should be compensated the normal rate and not discounted.

Last nite was brutal for me too, just no business there, no people to sell to, it's hard to stay on simply, especially cause it's free chat only, after 2-3 hrs like this i log off cause i get extremely bored & irritated then i cant perform properly even i get a show (happened last nite), my smiley face turns into a bitch face after a while & i look and feel pissed so not worth to prolong the stay.
They require fast PC's & connection but offer nothing in exchange for the 'regular cam performer' IMO, if u dont cam with the highest settings u drop in placement severely but if u keep the highest settings u cant splitcam properly (my case) but even with the highest settings u can sit dead on cam on SM.
There is no other pvt based site to work FOR ME at this point, waiting for the launch of redhot, that could be a good option as i am not happy with token sites so yeah, i stay on SM where i can still make a living even i struggle, bitch & complain haha, i was never the type to work quietely & be a good girl, if i have things to say i'll say them.
Eh, some people are more complicated than others lol

I started fresh after a couple years Tuesday night. Low rates and 2 hours I made 72.00. Last night was a bust. But I also upped my rate. I made 35.00 in 1.5 hours with a 10 dollar tip. I had geo block and had already been told I was taken out of promos and the guys said I appeared on page 2-3 of the new girls. Blah. Also only 3 rated me so far so I'm still a crappy 4 star beginner rating. Maybe I'll crawl up the food chain soon enough.

i have noticed the encoder is choppy. For me I hard wired and was able to use the optimum set up where before I wasn't. Hard wing made a huge difference. I took off geoblock and asked to remove me from being removed from promos and I'll check my placement for a bit.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and today have been brutal for me. Easily the worst three days in a row I've ever had. I havent made 20 dolars between the three days, about 7 hours online more or less. I work in 100 minute blocks and it's damn hard to go on after 150 minutes with only one 5 gold tip. I'm festering on my seat here.

Yes the SM loopholes are so ridiculous. It enables horrible customer behavior and fucks the model every time. I will not do anything until after 5 minutes because of this rule. I literally have to police my customers and make sure they can't see punani until I know I'll get the full block rate.

(christy i'm not sure if models will hit u up but the last time i mentioned a loophole like this it was suggested by other models that I remove or alter the amount of time users can take advantage so trolls can't comb threads and find out loopholes.) not telling you to, but just putting it out there that i had models upset at me for talking about peeper policies and going too in depth here.

either way...yes the loopholes really suck the sanity out of models. SM to inform the custies of these policies but not really inform models is kind of bullshit. i had to find out the hard way, and i know so many other models along with me.

Yesterday, several members mentioned that they could not hear me. I went to the site to find out if it was my equipment. Sure enough, I could not hear several girls on three browsers. I found that the only way I could hear the girls was to X out of the little stream window and relaunch their stream. Page refresh did not work. It makes me curious about how long this glitch has been around. This was on PC. Have any of you girls experienced this?

It happened to me a couple of weeks ago.
Today's glitch: A repeat tried going exclusive, and I had to do that ' hit the pause button:and then release it ' to get him in.....Or so I thought. I kept asking him how he wanted me to do the fetish (feet), and ...no answer.
He finally said he couldn't see me, and that it said the page was loading on his end.
Talk about being in limbo.:-\
