pros cons partychat on SM..
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.
I can't wait to try out their system though and see if it will be better for me.
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..

when i sit in party chat rooms on sm, there is an option to buy into the chat show as well as to tip gold regularly, so people would be able to tip more than once if they wanted. when you "buy in" it asks you how much gold you want to put - i saw one customer put in $64 when the buy-in amount was only $16. as far as i can tell, there is the option to not do the show if the goal isn't met OR to do it anyway - some models have been saying they'll do it anyway even if the goal isn't met.

Julia your high rollers can still over tip you from what I have seen. They don't have to just pay the $10 or $15. They can pay more and they can also pay the whole thing. The good part about it, you start another show when you are finished with that one. I love it and I think it would be a great opportunity for the lurkers who would normally sit in your room to participate. I think this also good for the guys who only want to give gold and never take you private to participate as well. It's a good way for the model to cash in on those guys ;)

Re: pros cons partychat on SM..
Yes, I been watching a few of them do it over the last hour. Some of them do really well, I saw Nina Mercedes clear $560 in less then 15 mins and then I see a few that seem to have "no clue" and they have become beggars without much success.
I am extremely frustrated that I can't do this right now. LOL
I asked SM on twitter and they expect early next week so I am hoping it will work for me.

Re: pros cons partychat on SM..
I just watched party mode for the first time to see how the gals worked the room and what they were charging. The range was $70 to $500 and the one asking $70 ended up canceling her show, the one with $500 had 7 min left and like $20 in tips... The mid range gals asking $200 to $300 did make goal, even if it was with 7 seconds left. I saw some guys tip more than once. I can't wait to try this, although I'm fearful that when it goes live to all models, that it might be harder to hit the goals. We are going to really have to work hard to get their attention and keep them in OUR rooms.

Re: pros cons partychat on SM..
I'm honestly not sure what to make of this feature. I think its great because you can hit goals faster and theres more incentive for guys to pay when they're getting such a great deal but I've been watching it since yesterday ( with breaks of course to do other things..lol) and I've seen girls that normally are dressed suddenly have tits hanging completely out and they're bending over and shaking their ass and I just saw one with no top, talking extremely dirty and rubbing her pussy through her clothes. I dont think its a big deal that they're doing that since none of it is graphic but I just cant do such a hard sell in free (maybe because I'm a bit shy in groups) so if this is what the site is going to turn into then I'm not going to have anyone coming by my room and the guys that do come by will probably just bitch that I'm too expensive compared to others now. Maybe its time to try another site..lol

You don't have to get naked if you don't want to. I have seen plenty of girls hit their goal without taking a stitch of clothes off. They keep saying I get naked in private. One guy was being annoying and kept telling a model to him something before private. She stuck to her guns and said no, Everything will come off in private and you will get see it all. She made a point to say you can tip more to make the countdown go faster, if you are that ready! So you can keep your standards, you don't have to lower them to please others.

Was checking this out last night - and saw you Julia! You came really close to the total - $255 of something like that? Did you do the show anyway in the end - i assuming you did as you went prvt when the time was up?
How did it go - you think it's something you'll use again in the future?
Must say you were really working it girl - your enthusiasm is infectious - those guys were absolutely loving it. You were so excited when there was like 1 min to go and you had about $220 (or maybe you were just faking it? lol).
Anyway - more power to you girl - let us know how it went please. 8)

^^This.
And I think its sucky that we will be getting it when the novelty wears off, all the beta testers have been banking all week.

Re: pros cons partychat on SM..
Totally, they are super lucky getting to test it out and it will be a lot harder for the rest of us to share in the hype. Besides, you won't be able to do partychat unless you are broadcasting in HD, just saw that on Twitter.
I mentionned before that I may try party chat AFTER I meet my daily or weekly goal, but I am not going to rely on it. It's a treat for the guys who don't normally get to see you or couldn't afford to pay more. It's a good way for the site to draw traffic in by having a few models hosting party chat. It's kind of like having "happy hour" over at IMLIVE, except that the model makes more than $7 to $13 and she doesn't HAVE to do a full hour worth of playing with her junk. Now that's slave labor!

Did they say why you have to be in HD? Sometimes you can just set your room to HD but do they mean you need the encoder?

Re: pros cons partychat on SM..
They said because its what their members want. We discussed the encoder so I assume yes it has to be the encoder.

That's all the tweet said, it didn't mention anything else. I guess we'll find out soon though. And I can't even direct message them because they aren't following me.

Yes, I did the show. Because when you are that close and then cancel you have nothing. So I decided to do the show and what do you know, as the show was progressing 7 more people popped in once they saw I was going through with it. So I actually went a little over my goal.
I did another one and reached half the goal and canceled it, however the guys who did want the show had been waiting for the clock to go to zero, and when I cancelled they must have felt committed and I was taken private with about 10 people following for my regular rate. So even that worked out.
I am going to try it again and mix up the goal, time and buy in numbers a bit, trying to find the sweet spot.
Getting ready now.

Nice to know Julia that it worked out for you regardless. The exposure doesn't hurt!

DAMN! Are you serious? :(
When I was getting my internet connection from that shitty Sprint aircard, I tried the HD thing, but there were always issues. Either guys would say they can see me but CAN'T hear me, or they could hear me but I'd be lagging. Always something. I had to set it to stream in lesser quality (SM automatically sets it to lesser quality when there's issues), which pissed me off.
I have a new and better connection now, so I'm not sure if I'll have better luck with HD. I'll have to try it.

Yup, that's what SM's tweet said. I understand why in some ways, because they are also using party chat as a new promotional tool. I'm suprised some top models are giving that stuff away for hardly anything...I'd have thought they would have been greedier. Dang, give the little people a chance!

Thanks, sometimes it's a stretch but the men are like sheep, once the tipping starts more follow. I have some regs that come in and start it off..
