I need help with tips on how to make more money on streamates
Hello Everyone, my name is Ashlee. I am a 19 year old, 5'4 black girl from maryland and i am also a webcammer on streamates.
i am also a college student.
After reading alot of forums on here, i decided to make my own account.
I started working on streamates 4 weeks ago. My first week, i made $32 for the entire week. My Second week, i made $53 for the entire week. My third week, I made $47 for the entire week. i would say every week i would work around 14-15 hours per week.
I wear thongs on my shows, and i play with dildos and oil myself up with baby oil to be sexy. i am very active on my shows and i entertain all my guests. I have never had more than about 6 people in my room at a time.
Throughout those 3 weeks, i made my rate 2.99 for private and exclusive. Now, I made my private $3.84 for private and $4.49 for exclusive.
I even turned on block sessions, which means a customer can buy 15 minutes of a private session with me for 5% off, or 30 minutes for 10% off. None of my customers have bought a block session yet.
This week, I decided to work 20 hours to see if that makes a difference.
I have seen models on here say that they make $200 in a week, or sometimes even $50 per day, on streamates. Can someone please explain to me what i am doing wrong?
Also, realistically speaking, how much do you make webcamming per week? and how long have you been doing it? (PLEASE do not say "oh it depends on different factors" just be honest) and how much did you make when you first started? what is our rates for private and exclusive? and is there any other websites that I can get more money webcamming that you know about?

We have several models that make over $1000/day and several that are comfortable making $10-$20/day as a hobby. There aren't any sites we know that make more money than Streamate ON AVERAGE for new models, and this is the sole reason we push SM so hard in our own program - if the model makes no money, we don't make money (actually...nobody makes money). There are always outliers though that can bank anywhere, and certain sites do fit better with certain personality types. SM is "jack of all trades and master of none" so far as that goes. Heavy "type A" personalities may do better mixing in token sites, while introverts may do better building their fan base in the 1 on 1 world of Skype listings.
You will make more if you diversify a bit with your time, but not too much diversification or you'll be burning too many candles and get nowhere. For that, we recommend getting at least one Skype listing site in the mix. You can book Skype shows while working Streamate and then pause or turn off SM once a Skype client has paid for a show (don't cross-advertise though, i.e. mention Skype on your Streamate show or direct Skype clients to your SM room, that's a career-ending thing).
Your prices are slightly low but not unworkable, and rarely do they have much to do with how busy you are. What matters more are personality and cam quality. If you're not using the encoder, your placement will be tanked. If your equipment isn't good enough for the encoder, that's another issue. If you're sitting there bored or huffing and puffing and looking like a deer in headlights - for hours on end - that rarely works out well either.

The reason we say "it depends on different factors" to most girls is because its true. We are not just trying to be polite and not say "forget it. Clearly your to ugly to do this. Quit now!" Even ugly can bank on SM cause guys want such a wide array of looks and personalities anyone can make money.
When I first started camming I dont know how many hours I put in but it was at least 40 to 60 a week. I now put in more then 20 but normally less then 30 and I live a fairly lush lifestyle from it. I would say push your hours up. Push you per min rate up a little more and learn about how to close a sale. I think a lot of times new girls (myself included) dont know how to ask for that sale. Its okay to ask guys to "come play" "go private" etc. so do it.
Also everything everything Katy said above. She knows her stuff.
