This was me today....Woke up later than planned so I had to push myself through a slower time (for me at least) for longer to make up the difference. Definitely setting my alarm...I will not be making that mistake again.

Is it true that non-US models get 30% only (even if they didn't sign up through a studio)? I read they tend to do it to Eastern European models - I wonder if this will be the case with me (Israel) too? :/
Nina I just recently( like 2 WEEKS AGO) sent in my electronic paperwork for a solo account. They had us scan and all that bs jumping through flaming hoop shit when we did our couples account. They're ridiculously slow. Like they must have one 90 year old person who doesn't know how to use a computer in there approving 1 case a day.
I even tried to email Vanessa. ( probably the only other person there)
You would think the electronic siggies would make the process faster. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
There was a thread about selling videos on SM but I can't find it - are they cool with me sending a guy a Mediafire link?
My queses is that the SM system is not showing you as meeting the requirements.... I would Email SM SUPPORT again with screen caps of you encoder and your cam pic showing the HD Icon above it.... that should force sm to look into the issue and not just say that the system will give it to you when you meet the requirements.... But then good luck
I signed up on SM on my own (not a studio) and i get 30% only, i am an EE national. I asked a very important person on SM why i get only 30% and i got the answer "that's how we do it with certain nationals". Huh? I call is DISCRIMINATION! You guys can find another reason why they do this? I cant.
I am from Europe(not EE) and get 30% too :(
Wow, that sucks. Do you charge more because of it? I plan to set my rates at 4.99/5.99 because I don't think it's going to be worth to go any lower, what's with the 30%...
No, I don't, I charge 2.99/3.99 at the moment, but mainly because I have pretty slow internet connection and not so perfect stream. I will try to slowly raise it and will see how it goes..
May I ask how well you're doing with these rates? I did some math (taking in consideration the 30%) and I must admit it was a little off-putting. :(
I'm Finnish and I get 35%.
The trick to SM is charging AT LEAST $3.99/$4.99, idealy more. Any lower and you just plain don't make money. And as weird as it sounds, when i raised my rates, I noticed a huge decrease in trolls and ridiculous requests and 30-second peepers(I charge $4.99/$6.49).
Thanks, Jaana. I'm pretty sure I'm going to charge 4.99/6.99 starting from day 1. Just curious about the 30% things, seems to be strangely arbitrary...
I guess you will just have to try and see by yourself. It seems that they do this to Eastern European countries, but that doesn't say anything about Israel. I would really like to know what is the reason for this, because it is not fair. :(
I earn about 15 bucks/hour on average day and I agree that is not much, but I only started camming regularily about a month ago. I will try to raise the price slowly, but the problem is I don't have so good placement right now(2th-3rd page) and am scared it will get even worse, if my pvt time decreases.
Hmm...where is all of the traffic today? All I see are tumbleweeds!!
So, I keep seeing it mentioned everywhere online that new models shouldn't have high rates (MAXIMUM 3.99 for either premium or exclusive) and I am a little worried because, as I wrote already in this thread, I'm gonna go with 4.99/6.49 from day 1 and I won't settle. Is that going to cause me trouble? /:O
Nope! Stick with it! Guys come to me every day that have never seen me before and they are willing to pay my prices (4.99/6.99) so it doesn't matter how long you've been on the site...you're always new to someone. You deserve the higher price so demand it and don't settle ;)
I just signed up to SM how long you think tell i get approved?
New means nothing.. I'm new there and my rates are at 4.69/7.69. Yeah, my percentage in paid chat is a little low, around 22%, but its decent money. I'm probably averaging around 30/hr right now.
Hi, sorry if this has been asked somewhere else. Searching on SM's rating system isn't giving me the answer. How long does a viewer have to rate us after a show? Is it only immediately or can he go back retrospectively and 1 star us? I currently have a good average but one guy is getting ridiculous in his requests. Should I be worried about retaliatory rating? Thanks.
Supposedly 45s unless it glitches.
Ban him If you are uncomfortable and if he is rude, I ban assholes in privates, not often but it happens. Just because they are payin you doesn't mean they own you and can try to make you break your comfort zone.
As for retaliatory ratings, if you recieve one email support and explain the situation politely, they will remove it for you.
To the ladies wondering about why EE countries are paid differently by most cam sites,Im pretty sure atleast some of it is discussed/explained in this thread HERE
