But I'm asking if it's "ok" to start with 4.99/6.49 from the very first day?

No one can answer that but you. Everyone is different and what worked for one person probably won't work for you. That also works in reverse. A girl could tell you it would never work, but for you it could.
The only way you're going to get an answer to that question is just to try it.
I started at my current rate of 4.69/7.69.... I asked my limits to be raised before I EVER LOGGED IN TO CAM. You can doo eeeet BB!
Is anyone else having phone issues today? A guy begged for it and it just disconnected us after he called. Argh.
Edit: Oh, well then. It turns out my second phone charger was unplugged and my phone was not charged. My bad. ;D
Haven't had much time for StripperWeb lately.. but I wanted to pass on some information about TV Gold Shows.
I have been frustrated by my TV offers lately because I know they are not an average of my Gold Shows. One minute they offer me $150 the next minute $90 or $75!
Tonight I got an offer for $110 and voiced that SM needs to learn to average, so the producer came in and explained that TV offers are no longer based on gold show amounts, they are based on TV GOLD SHOW AMOUNTS ONLY. So they are only averaging your TV shows when they offer you a show. AND, he added they can "add more" based on factors such as traffic, etc. So basically.... they are not averaged.
I wish they would TELL US this because I know a lot of models are frustrated about this based on the previous information given to us that it is based on ALL gold shows. Hopefully they will update the TV information so many models can quit being frustrated thinking they are being low balled when in reality they are using a different "average" (with room to not average?) than previously told to us.
Thanks! I'm still newish to SM but I'm not letting them push me around. This guy is turning into a freeloading time waster. I haven't banned in private yet but it's good to know that I can.
I have another question, and this is kinda weird but - is there anyway to increase *their* cam size in C2C? It's tiny. Sometimes I'm giving them specific instructions but I'm not sitting close enough to get a good look at their body language. I know the view often isn't great.... but after some of the indie shows I've done nothing fazes me.
^There's a button that shows a small square in the corner of a large square. Press that (just under where the cam image is).
speaking of TV shows:
upon telling my room that this show was going to put me over my goal (and giving me my best week ever...)

Yes, it's most definitely okay if you do that. :) No matter what you charge, there's always gonna be somebody claiming "you'll make more money if you're cheaper." Don't worry about them...they're just being cheapasses. Plus, you'll attract better guys with higher prices. Low prices such as 1.99/2.99 attract the rude, bossy guys who are looking for a quick, cheap show.
Yay!! Vanessa got me approved! Now I'm just waiting out my monthly and my toys from Amazon!!
Did somebody say recently that SM put out new encoder settings? Sorry for asking, I just can't find them anywhere and I haven't cammed in awhile. My encoder is dropping frames/won't let me stream so I'm thinking I may have the pold settings.. Thanks!
Okay, I just realized I have version 3.2 of the encoder- which is reccommended for Macs whereas 3.1 is reccommended for PC's (I have a PC).. what version do you girls use?
This is the only change that I know of. For me, it still works better to choose "Drop frames" instead of "Degrade Quality".
Select "Degrade Quality"
Next to Auto Adjust, click on and set the Settings as follows:
Change "Maximum Buffer Size" to 5
For Degrade Quality Settings, set "Minimum Video Bitrate" to 100
when we drop frames, do we have to mess with the tool thingy?
Yeah, there's all sorts of issues now. Having to switch between versions & settings. I've never had issues with encoder before a few days ago. It's maddening.
