Questions about Streamate
Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and I cam primarily on ImLive, but I'm looking for a place to go when that site is slow and I've heard you guys say a lot of good things (mostly) about Streamate.
So I'm just wondering a few things...first of all, what kind of laptop do you have that works well with HD? I notice that you pretty much have to be broadcasting in HD to get to the top of the page and I can imagine it really affects traffic. I probably won't be using Streamate in the near future since my internet is kinda slow, but it's something I'm keeping in mind for if I ever upgrade.
How much do you charge per minute there, and what is the payout? I've heard both 35% and 30%.
Is the begging really obnoxious there? It looks like you have to be in free chat when not in pvt so I probably wouldn't be on there for hours at a time, but I suppose if the pvts were consistent it wouldn't irk me as much.
Thanks for your help guys. Sorry this is so many questions but any help is appreciated and feel free to ask me anything about ImLive, haha.

Re: Questions about Streamate
we were once listening to a model talk to guys in the free chat.
i work for a studio, and my boss got us all on the front page, this way we are guaranteed money every day.....i don't even have hd..........this model also said she comes from flirt4you
some models get 35% others get 30%
some models can charge $5.99 other models don't have that option it goes only to $4.99
some models have 5 stars immediately as they start and their rating never goes down.
other models need to earn that....yes the management fucks with it....they have become bold very bold.
you will get paid though on time.....they sell your videos that are recorded as you are in shows, and you don't get a dime for that.
if the management likes you you will do ok if they don't they will toss you on the back pages and you will earn very little.
no you don't get treated all equal and advertised equal, there is heavy favoritism from management.

Re: Questions about Streamate
Wow. Not sure if I want to mess with it since I'm not a fan at all of kissing management's ass to get to the top, especially when that management sounds so shady to begin with. I've heard about the selling videos thing too and that really creeps me out...at least on ImLive I'm in control of when I want to record my shows, and I get a cut of when people watch them. I MIGHT give streamate a chance in the nonadult category or something like that...doubt I'd make a ton of money but at least that way I could hopefully avoid my shows being sold.

Re: Questions about Streamate
Uhhhh... Sunbeams??? You didn't sign up with a Studio did you?????!!!
GIRLS!!! DO NOT SIGN UP UNDER ANY STUDIO!!!!! Those fellas are glorified pimps. Only go directly through the site it's self.
-A good webcam is more important than a good computer to broadcast in HD. Also, high interenet speed with boost you up. (Get high speed)
You can set your streamate prices to anything YOU desire once a day. Payout is 35%....Unless you go with a studio. Then you have to pay to work ;)!
Begging is not an issue for me. If it ever bothers you, you have buttons to click, and either "Ban" Or "Kick" a memeber. And Videos being posted is not really an issue either. There are Pornstars on Streamate, those are the desired vids being sold, not CindyNewToCamming. (HAHA)
But, to really get your questions asked is to search all the threads on here. Type in key words for what you are looking for (in the top right hand corner under search.) And good luck to ya Hunny Bunny!!! Welcome to SW.
HUGS!

Re: Questions about Streamate
They do show a bit of favoritism, but it is based on your performance/quality. They use your time online vs time in pvt, webcam quality, connection quality,ratings, etc. to determine your placement on the site.
I don't think you have to kiss management's ass to do well, just hustle 8)

Re: Questions about Streamate
^Is that what determines 30 vs 35% as well???

I'm really not sure about how they determine that.

Re: Questions about Streamate
Thanks girls! Very informative. AlphaGal, no I definitely didn't use a studio, never have and never will.
I think I'm gonna hold off starting there until I can get a better connection though. The internet I have now is pretty good but I would have to switch providers in order to upgrade so I'm gonna have to think about it some more.
Also a relief to hear that the average host's videos aren't what's being sold. =D

Re: Questions about Streamate
every model that has "videos" under her profile next to pics gets their videos sold as promos, and as part of a "video package" customers can purchase on streamate for a monthly fee.
-
Re: Questions about Streamate
^^^^ right ! I'm personally not a porn star and i have 4 videos on my page. don't think your excluded bc your not a porn star. Just as streamate has several categories the sites they sell videos to has several catergories; porn star, amateur, blonde girl, black girl, Asian girl, bbw, curvy
if youre on, at some point at least one of your videos will be sold by them, your not excluded sadly

ALL models video are sold on Streamate...... in other words the good the bad and the ugly.......it is not exclusive to porn stars only.

Re: Questions about Streamate
Thanks. ;)
Bottom line. If you see your vid, all you have to do is ask them to take it down. I have spoken with models who have been with them for years that have never had an issue with their vid, and images on hubs. But, no matter the site you sign up for, if you upload it, if agree to their terms, they DO own your content. That is the chance you take with some Camming companies to be a cam cam girl.

Ok, maybe I should have been more detailed.... you can set you price to anything you desire. From .99-5.99 ($4.99 for some).

Re: Questions about Streamate
It doesn't really bother me if my vids are sold. I mean, of course I'd like to see some $$ from it, but they are gonna do it no matter what. It happens will almost every camsite in existence. Guys can record your stream anytime they want to and sell it/post it. It happens on streamate, mfc, imlive, ifriends, cams, webcams....just part of this business. I like different sites for different reasons, but I'm not going to quit any of them because I'm being recorded, but that's just me :)

ok that there is the clincher.....why can't all models be allowed to charge as much as they wish.....why are some limited in the maximum price.....are they stupid or something and they think that only porn stars are worth [email protected] tells them some BBW can't charge [email protected] minute and get a good base of customers who are willing to pay that price?
where do they base their theory on and how do they decide who is worth what?
it is called discrimination!
if anyone has any logical answers to this, we are all ears.

Re: Questions about Streamate
No real clincher there....That would have to be a question for Streamate, and the way they designed their site.
The difference between Pornstar, and a BBW is a following. If you have big names, you will have traffic. I'm not saying that BBW couldn't establish a fantastic following, but people already know who Lela Star is, or Lucious Lopez, etc. (Just an example). If that said pornstar tells her fans, and friends she's at Streamate they WILL go to Streamate. It doesn't really make anyone "Stupid", that's just the nature of the beast.

i hear what you are saying and that is speculation.....no telling what and who will go see the BBW..........in reality it is streamate who is loosing out.... a fetishist can and will spend lots of money.....all models should have the liberty to set their price to the maxium it has been created....all models should be treated equal in that regard.

Re: Questions about Streamate
Thanks guys. I don't like the price discrimination of course, but even if I could set my price at six bucks, no way in hell would I do it because I wouldn't make a red cent lol. So that doesn't bother me.
I guess it's good that you can request for them to delete your videos, but I dunno, still not liking it. I know guys can record you on ImLive also, but hosts there can turn that function off so that only the hosts themselves can record, not viewers. I have a few recorded sessions on ImLive, but whenever someone watches them I get my cut of what they spend, and that is only fair. Plus I get to pick and choose what I record and then edit it to my liking before putting it on my profile.
I guess if traffic was absolutely spectacular on Streamate then I could overlook it, but still...that's a show that you put on so you should get a cut when someone views it. Is there any way you can just ask them to not do that? Maybe some girls out there would enjoy it for the promotion, but it should be optional.

Um, no that is NOT speculation that you would have to discuss prices with Streamate. It's a fact. And yes, that is the nature of the Beast. }:D
Here's the deal guy::-*
Streamate does such monster traffic/makes so much money because they have smart people around them with economics degrees that say, "If you set prices too high you will get significantly fewer 'privates' and therefore makes LESS money. "
It's called a bell-curve MAN. You have to find the sweetspot. Supply and demand is a tough science to master but most girls are going to make less money after they go past $5-$6/minute (not for all girls-some girls are cash Queen$!). Volume has to be considered in order to make MORE cash.
My suggestion since it's so discriminatory (LOL) is to get get your own site. Or studio ;)
Can WE see where you cam DOODLEBUG??? And please answer me this time...;D
Hugs

That's what I thought too. I've always been at 35% and I'm definitely no porn star, and am an older host so I'm puzzled why some were seeing 30%.

Re: Questions about Streamate
I just started and I'm on 30%. I have no idea what I need to do to get to 35 :(

That's very strange. Are you really sure you signed up directly at streamate.com through them or could you have clicked on a studio link by accident?
