try opening a different browser while you're logged in to just check that your feed is working ok. Make sure you can see yourself moving and that audio is working. Maybe your feed is really slow and jerky or something?
me too babe. don't feel bad. the guys come in and leave before I can even say hi. I've gotten some shows there but not what I was expecting the way every other girl raves about it. :/
Hey, if my fat ass can get people to go pvt, then you should too!! ;D
What is your rate per minute? Some girls can be new, have a high rate, and get a lot of paying traffic, but it doesn't work for everyone. Maybe try lowering your rate for a week or so, and see how that goes. Sometimes when I am too talkative on streamate, It takes longer to get a paid show. This is how it is for me, so I can't speak for other girls. They tend to think I'm cool and want to chat. I seem to get more shows, when I am only showing myself from the neck down, and typing a few things here and there.
Are you greeting everyone? That helps. They don't like to be ignored by divas (not that you do that) who wont say hi at all. I try to say hi even if I am not in the mood to be bothered with their ass. Streamate has a lot of traffic. The only time I don't make money there, is when I don't stay long enough. I am not a huge fan of free chat room cam sites, and lately have been focusing my time on sites where I don't have to sit in free chat. Are you logging off too soon? As a rule, I try to be logged on for 2 hours then break. HustletteDiva posted some links to keep track of your productivity, and I love it. I have a little timer on my pc now, to keep track of my work time. Will find it and post it here for u. Maybe that will help?
Force yourself to be consistent with your log in time.

Not to sound like a broken record, but you have to put in more hours to see the money coming in. Sometimes you get shows right away, and sometimes you can sit there for hours and not make shit. It does get discouraging if you are not working more than one site. I work about 4 or 5 sites (lost track) I now have videos, and pics for sale. Yesterday I didn't work and logged on Niteflirt, and had money offline, because some guys paid to see my videos.
Try signing up for other sites, and run them all at the same time. When one site sucks, another is heavy with traffic. On Adultwork and Niteflirt, you can sell videos, pics, panties, and even recorded voice stories. you will see a difference if you are taking the time to get on different sites.
the reason sites do this is because they make the money when you dont get enough to cash out. as long as they get the money everything is good.
its why I multicast and have options rather than one cam company. and why Im mostly camming in europe now where its a lot easier and more money.
honestly, my opinion of streamate when from one extreme to the other... i flipped out on there the other night and will make exactly my 100.00 and cash out and say a huge fuck you... i thought sometimes i felt violated on mfc but there... i dont know who some of these guys think that they are, but i will not work for 35 or whatever % to have guys in private chat not even say hello just get naked and open pussy when i we've been there 2 seconds and im already half naked... calm the fuck down you cheap bastard! im better than 35% especially when they are rude, and think that you should do whatever they want IN FREE CHAT! i had one guy call me a "stupid fucking cunt" because i do not do phone in exclusive... I save that option for select people not just randoms because i am not comfortable hearing another voice on the end... i will do cam to cam with no problem... no one should have to hear someone call them those kind of names... that night i wanted to throw my laptop and cry and go to bed... but i went back on MFC and made $400.00 in about an hour.... hummmmmmmm and i wasn't even naked :) my advise... find a site that works for you, if you are not happy, you will get discouraged very fast!!
I work MFC and love it. I have a streamate acct but I havent seen a reason to use it. I would rather use the site with a higher percent. I think you're just looking at working at a dive v. working at a nice club.
...That is weird, hearing Streamate compared to the dive! Hehe.
Yeah, no, I love Streamy. I bet your cam just is glitchy? I never get told when it's messed up, but I'll notice my business is down... and then I'll restart my computer or do whatever is needed.. and then wham! back to moneymaking! :)
Yep, I've had times when guys would come in & immediately leave, one after another. When I start seeing it happen, I know I need to check my feed/restart. What kind of internet connection are you using?
I don't think streamate is any more of a dive than any other site, but they do tend to draw guys on the younger side. I see tons of 18-22 year olds every night. Sometimes you almost need to treat them like children when they start being rude. Put them in their place. Not saying you should just go the f* off on them, but let them know it's YOUR room and YOUR rules. If that doesn't work, use the KICK/BAN buttons!
dude seriously! They're all fucking minute-men and wankers there. Seriously, I'm not going to get naked and start fisting myself in the first 30 seconds of private, asshole! (I don't fist I'm just saying, lol). I do not feel respected AT ALL on that site. I feel like a slab of beef. I hate it. That's why I'm focusing more on a site where I am respected and my indy site. You have to work where YOU feel comfortable and sexy like the awesome Queen you are. ;D

ITA Streamat wasnt like this in the begining.I really noticed it during thanksgiving to the present.I still make cool money but its like pulling teeth.
I swear I wanted to throw my dildo at my camera a few times last night
I think it's wise to try many many different sites. I absolutely love having all these choices. Sometimes I feel like being social and interacting in free chat - that's when I go on Streamate. I was doing really badly on there for a few weeks but lately it's been picking up for me. I improved my lighting also and I think that has helped.
Sometimes I don't feel like dealing with free chatters and that's when I do Adultwork or similar sites.
It's amazing to me someone can make $400 in an hour on myfreecams because I have never been able to do well on there myself. I know it's true tho because I see models raking in the tokens! ;) I guess my personality doesn't fit that type of place because I just end up getting angry and want to reach through the screen and kill the beggars.
Definitely it is well worth trying different sites and seeing what works for you best.
^^ From what I understand tips are non-refundable in all cases, but I'm not sure about privates.
Streamate is a good site but I'm not earning as much as I used to either. I used to make $30+ an hour but now my average seems to be around $20 even though I've upgraded my camera. Not terrible earnings but it could be better. Combine that with its crappy interface, constant minute men, and the headache of free chat, and SM is quickly becoming my "fall-back" option when I'm not making money on other sites.
I have always done well on streamate I just need to spend more time on there.
I logged in last night and got a pvt immidiantly. made 12 bucks. then logged off .
I dont like to get happy just because i did well one night , because the truth is , its never consistant .
As for mfc , Fuck them ... I know many people just rave for it , but the idea of doing a free show and not getting anything for it , makes me feel cheap ,And want to puke. and for all that are new at it.. give it a week , it will slow. I use to make 250 a night on it , now im lucky for 50..
As for my effortt , i work 6 hours a night , every night , and fluctuate through AW SM SR And MFC. When one is slow , i go to another , but still , streamate is the slowest for me.
Ahh the good old days , as a new girl... Once the "fresh meat" magic wears down , its a rat race. fighting for every doller.
Like minnie I do good on SM granted i only do 20 hrs and make $800-1000 (not bad just lazy) I find I get what I want when Iam a bitch... Say hello before you go pvt, say hello before you demand shit in pvt, if you want me to do something i normally don't do you have to tip(the men you know have money ie regulars) When I first started i had a million and 1 30sec ditch men and now I have my little system to avoid it.... BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK . The site started blocking ppl from my room and going pvt. has that happen to you after they keep coming in and out?
SM is never consistant. The majority of shows are 15 mins or less...this is not the norm from my experience. But I have quite a fanbase there now and it helps! That daily reg or two always makes my day! BUT it is hella inconsistent, the dudes are outrageous (i swear the worst of all of the camsites) and the shows last MINUTES! I WOULD NOT RELY ON SM ALONE TO PAY MY BILLS. I have backup sites and I put them to use. Always good to have options and find the right fit for you. At first I hated SM but now I actually enjoy the sites game. Every site has their own game.
People are always raving how great it is, but then two seconds later complaining about the minute men clientele. For me, I'd rather get 1 30 minute show on a SLOW site like IMLIVE then get 30 1 minute shows on SM. Others may disagree. They certainly do have traffic but for me it is about quality not quantity! The majority of the traffic are minute men too!
I'd like to move on from SM soon, but it is THE HOT SPOT right now besides MFC and I don't just want to up n leave my regulars. I work there part time and INDY the rest so I have choices and don't HAVE to log onto sm to make money.
Whenever I start feeling this way, or feel myself starting to lose patience with the "PUSSY!", "SHOW TITS!" crowd, I go and watch some of the pros in their rooms for a while, for inspiration.
The girls who are really good are always really POSITIVE, and seem HAPPY in their free chat rooms... and they can get away charging top dollar!!! My favourite girl to watch is Candi_Cruz... she is fanstastic. Always smiling, laughing, joking around.... not pressuring guys into pvt, but 'coyly suggesting' that it's way more fun outside of the public chat room....
And if you go see these girls as a guest (so that you can see what ppl are typing to them in guest chat), you will realize that they don't get any fewer 'dickheads' in free chat than you or I do!! They just simply choose to IGNORE them, and only engage with the polite customers!!! You don't have to respond to every tom, dick, and harry who asks you a dirty question, or says something derogatory in free chat!!! Just literally pretend they are not there!!! Otherwise you are wasting all your time saying shit like, "No, William, I will not fist my asshole in free chat for tips, while standing on my head with nipple clamps on", which does NOTHING for you, business-wise, because guys who ask for that stuff have no intention of coming in to see you for more that 30 secs anyway, and even if they DID, they are not worth the effort, because they'll NEVER be satisfied. I call these guys "the envelope-pushers", because whatever you offer, they won't be happy till you take it ONE STEP further, just for THEM. You offer toys in pussy, they want anal. You offer anal, they NEED to see DP... you do DP, then they claim your toys are too small... "Got anything bigger, bb?" There is no satisfying an 'envelope-pusher'.
So yeah... I certainly hear your frustration..... we all get discouraged sometimes. You know what really gets to ME, that I am trying to get over?? Guys who don't know how to spell. LOL! Stupid, huh? When I see people type things like "KNOW" when they mean "No".... it's like.... "REALLY?!?!?" LOL! What a turn-off!! It stops me in my tracks sometimes, and throws me off my game! I was drinking a coffee-based liqueur on cam the other night, and some guy asked me "Is that Kaluah, or Bailies?" I don't know WHY this gets to me so much... but I totally stopped talking... stared at my comp screen like a deer in headlights, and thought to myself "Wow... you really can't spell either 'KAHLUA' OR 'BAILEYS' properly? Were you born yesterday?" I really need to get over this, because I feel like a total snob (and it's not like I've never made a spelling error in MY life!!!), but .... sigh.... I guess I just prefer a more educated customer. But duh... I need to recognize that no one is perfect, and guys who can't spell have wallets too. ;-)
So yeah.... I would recommend that you go watch some of the pros for a while, for some inspiration. Don't engage with the rude people in your room, only the polite guys. If the rude guys see that YOU are always classy and polite, and positive, and sweet, chance are they will catch on and follow your lead (or move on to harass the next girl). Check that you look AMAZING on cam, that your lighting kicks ass, your makeup is flattering, etc. Are you using the HD encoder? Makes a HUUUGE difference in traffic, IMHO.
And yeah... make sure you are logging on for enough hours at a stretch. Things tend to average out over time.
Best of luck!!! MUAH!
Hmmm... I never heard of anyone using anything other than the Adobe one, as described in the 'support' section on SM....
But maybe I'm just ignorant?
Did the Adobe one not work for you? :-/
