pros cons on SM groupchat!
I noticed the group chat function on SM this morning.
Of course there were only a few of their top girls "testing" it.
It seems that you can set a clock, a goal and a reserve amount.
Viewer can reserve a spot to watch a group show for X amount of gold.
I saw a girl have a goal of 300 gold at 10 gold per reservation, her clock was set for 30 minutes. So she would need 30 viewers to pay the 10 gold to reach her goal. When the goal is reached the viewers who tipped/made the reservation get a 10 minute show.
I have done it similar like many on MFC do, I make my own board and have "random"" numbers on it, I make sure the numbers ad up to my goal and once I cleared my board (reached my goal) I do a routine.
I think the SM system could work for some girls but instead of "winning" by having the system I think they actually lose out on some opportunities.
When I play it with my board I can have viewers tip me more then once, I have some high rollers that clear the board by themselves and really speed things up for me. LOVE IT!
On the SM system they can pay the gold once and have to wait until the goal is reached, the gold tipping system doesn't seem to be there while in the "make reservation" mode. So now the high rollers can not give me more, and that is a shame.
The clock looks cute, and is good for viewers who don't have all day, so they have an indication of when the show would start. I am wondering what happens if the goal isn't reached within the time frame, do you still do the show? Even if it is for one viewer?
I have not seen any of the beta testers reach their goals and I couldn't find anymore "group chats" active a few minutes ago, I know they are testing it, so who knows.
I am assuming the splits are the same, 35% and cammodels traffic +40% or 20%.
The good thing is that when playing it through the SM system is that it cuts out the freeloaders, and even though I am not liking freeloaders either to me it is about MY goal and once I reach that I am happy. As long as I get there then I will do a great show.
Streamate has taken me off the main search and only "members" can see me online. (although I think the cammodels link might show me without signing in, not sure) To make sure no under aged viewers can catch my free shows, which I think is great and thank them for it.
Another thing I noticed today;
Someone send me a link to a clip on pornhub, they are also a SM affiliate and they have a pop under with live cam of "random" girls. However, I noticed that they give live previews of girls that are IN shows (unless these girls are doing full shows in free chat).
I was shocked, and saw several "previews" of girls while they were doing their shows, and some couples as well.
LOL.. ok, maybe a weird post I just wanted to throw this out there.
I LOVE streamate and I make great money there, but these were just a few things I noticed. There are more things I wish they would do like encoding the live stream to h.264 so iphone and ipad users can watch us live. Their video sales section should allow me to sell videos, they have the traffic and I bet I could sell a lot of clips even while I sleep. SIGH..
Ok, I need to get off this soapbox now..

they sell our privates and keep 100% of the profit.
If you don't reach your party goal you can choose to either refund the customers or just do the show with the customers who did pay.

Hi girls,
I've tried it. Rather than post it all here, just check out my blog, where I got into a little detail about it and offered my thoughts on it. It's a good option, for anyone wanting to try it. An excellent way to make a few quick bucks, but a word of advice; just don't abandon your regulars, getting caught up in this, as it could work against you when it comes to repeat business. It forces you to divide your attention amongst viewers, which isn't necessarily for everyone. I have to admit, as long as the traffic is there, the money's great!
