I did a take over for SM snap chat not too long ago and I was shocked to see that I had more than double the views on my own snap chat..and my account is only a few months old!

that's just another example of why what Madison said is pretty much bullshit and just her spouting off bullshit to keep the higher ups happy. the state of their traffic is a whole is a fucking joke. all these white labels and shit that theyre supposedly paying for witch is why we only get 35% aren't doing their job . they need to step it up and control it somehow set higher standards or something. not just pay them for sign ups but sign ups that actually spend money and if the white label cant get on par with a standard cut them out. the white labels might actually start to care if theyre rewarded only when they get money when they bring in people who spend on the site or lose their white label if they cant up their game. I refuse to advertise for SM on social media because of their hypocritical way they want us to market for pretty much everything Ivy said . CB and MFC are the other two top cam sites yes their token sites and they run different but they allow social media and Im sure their top model make way more for way less time because they can use social media to build up a fan base and bond with them so they see the models as ppl not just sex objects to fawn at and pay to fab to over a computer. that bond makes them want to give more witch is why their models make more money. I signed up to camgasm and im going to use it to play games in my undies and get more creative with games and stuff since we cant get naked on it. I don't know where Im going this post anymore I started to babble ....

Just signed with a long babbling comment. But my reaction to the Target vs. Walmart analogy? It's not realistic. I'm not Target. You guys are not Walmart. Other sites are not Walmart. Which is to say, we're not really competition, we're all different. I have absolutely had other models ask me if I could do xyz for a guy they ran into, and I've absolutely referred guys to other models who do abc when I don't! I stream on some sites, I sell clips on others. Streamate does live streaming. If they think they'll lose live streaming business because I post about another site on Twitter, maybe the answer is... improve that live streaming experience! Which is to say... if a customer at Target is asking for a product that is only carried at Walmart, the main issue is not whether or not the Target employee sends the customer to Walmart but rather WHY IS TARGET NOT STOCKING THAT PRODUCT ALREADY? Ok, no big deal, reprimand the employee, but once the manager hears about the interaction, WHY DON'T THEY CONSIDER STOCKING THAT PRODUCT (I can analogize, too.) (For the record, I've also worked in a non-big-box store and referred customers to another store that might have what they were looking for :P It's good business, really, if you're not trying to be the be-all and end-all, which SM clearly is not.) (And sorry if I got Target and Walmart reversed, I only looked at the Snapchat stuff when it was first posted :P)
That said, I'm still making pretty great money on Streamate. But I don't feel much loyalty to the site at the moment, and I have backup plans in mind in case things go pear shaped. I'm not a top model, but I dunno, I'm frustrated, and I think the thoughts of the average model ought to concern them. I think their business model needs major tweaking, tbh, which is no easy feat, and I get that. Change is hard. But still... adapt or die.
Cripes, now I've babbled twice as much...
(Actually, can I edit to add even more babbling? If a store doesn't have something in stock, they're not making that money regardless. Doesn't matter if the customer leaves knowing where else to get it or if they leave clueless. They're still not getting paid for what they couldn't provide! Okay, I'm done!)

Im in a different head space here. I DONT see any real benefit to being able to say to my cuties on SM Follow my Twitter. Those custies who are a bit more computer savy already figured that shit out and often my traffic comes from my twitter, because the seek me out, but they are just time wasters who have found a way to talk to me and ask me the same, How many, how big, How kinky questions about my career.
I would love if Streamate had a two way app. Something simple that would let my custies, who want to know, that I have just logged on but would also allow them to contact me to say they are on or going on and would love me to be there cause they are looking for me. An appointment app. It wouldnt have to include text that I could use to get them off site (which I dont do but some of you gals do) it would simply be a response system of yes Im coming on to see you, no Im not or a confirmation of an appointment the client wants to make with me. Perhaps there could even be a money down system like the client is obligated to put down $$ that is refunded if I dont show up but he charged If he fails to show up.
Cause the only benefit I really see to having the ability to say "Follow My Twitter" is for that handful of clients who would contact me there to say "come on line I want to spend $$ on you". Honestly with how many girls I see offering indy shows on their Twitter I would be hesitant to allow you to take my clients off site as well......
Almost daily I get on line and there is an email from one good client or another that says "where are you I want you". Fuck yeah I would have jumped on if I knew but Im not gonna be checking my SM email every 5mins when Im offline either. I need something that makes my phone beep and vibrate to let me know someone is looking for me!

This was pretty much the second half of my comment on the petition, because I can see a middle ground. But off the site or on it, there must be some better way we can keep in touch with our guys.

then maybe they should just put up like a simple button to email people when where on like cb has. like a button to email all ur favorites that you logged in or something and it would be cool if it also send out out a tweet on urs and sms twitter.

I think there is already some kind of feature on the customer end where they can get notifications when their favorite models are online. A regular once told me they could get text notifications, but I believe he said it costs a fee, which I doubt many people would pay for. I could be wrong about all of that though.
For me, it's not just about having social media to tell the guys when I'm online. It's also so I can update them in general. If I'm sick or if something else comes up and I'm not able to get on at my usual hours, I want to tell them so they don't worry or think I'm flaking on them.
That feature is free hence why it probably never works. There is no fee for it :D
and about updating clients, Streamate will say "Use the mail system" lol they make it impossible to win a argument

This.. mail first allowed this but then models spammed links and other sources through the links in mail sent. so .... sm goes through all bulk sent mail to make sure its not done again.
They recently released the send mail option.

Niteflirt has a linking feature that will send out tweets,tumblr post and facebook I do believe? An automatic post goes out for various things, just got a call, just finished a call, just added a goodie bag, just got a tribute etc
If SM were to allow social media I'm sure it would have to be monitored and I think the above is a great way to do it. Like send out alerts whenever you start a gold show, alerts for tips over $25, just logged on, whatever else? Maybe someone can suggest this to them because you will need a plan. Not just demand social media mentions it has to be more thought out than that.

Or how about real time updates for logged in customers? One more perk for signing up and logging in. You can watch from the outside but you won't know what's going on until you join. They can get notifications for when someone in their favorites starts a gold show. And if SM were to implement a video store feature the customers would get a pop up notifying them that one of their favs has a new store item. Maybe I'm just talking smack right now but I really think that's how you keep the traffic interested and on the site. Why not create a partnership with project maenaed? Or a better deal with ModelCentro who've been promising instant downloads for like ever now. Give them the money so that they can pay their developers and get it done. Notice how Manyvids is like an add on for CB and MFC?

I'm sure that even if they start allowing social media sharing, it's going to be preferential and very biased, just like everything else they do. I can just picture it... " If you want to share your social media, your new percentage will be 30% for US models, and 25% for all other losers living on the planet". ha.

Wow some great brain storming here! I love the idea of one button press and it lets clients who sign up for it know im on line and tweets for me! They would not need to have to verify anything for that cause it would just be a standard message sent out. Also keeps the clients engaged.
I would still love a way to have guys make appointments with me even when Im offline. A lot of my whales are married and only come to see me when the wife is out, they are in office or travelling for business and I often have them ask to make appointments. For the average wanker its no good cause they just log on and get off but I think for some it would be worth it.
