has sm stopped making noise for anyone else or just me? it wont work in any browser :O
Im' gonna lay it out for ya.. i went from at least making a minimum of 6-800 a week On just this site alone to only making 2-300 a week.. and the other sites haven't caught on to spending more money on me.. now i do have a bum shoulder.. but still.. there should be someone on there that i can take their money from.. that's what I do. uggh..i hope things pick up or else i am gonna hve to find a bunch of stuff to do otherwise.
Which ID type was it? Because I sent them my provisional license and they were cool with it (I was worried as it's just provisional, not even AW accepts it). Was it the ID type or the quality of scan/photo?
I mean, if you've decided not to try SM now fair enough, I'm just curious because there's nothing AW accepts that SM wouldn't I don't think? Idk. :/
Exactly what i thought.
Weird how some sites accept it and this one wont.
Its a proof of age card,
It has the a hologram on if, my birthday, full name, place of birth, and a photo of me.
Its the only ID i have, as, ive never been bothered about driving ect.
Ill just stick to AW i think.
where is everyone today.. so sloow. glad i worked last night but what a bummer :(
How odd. Maybe they're not used to seeing it because they're a US company or something. I never wanted to drive but got my provisional for ID because it was cheaper than a replacement passport when I lost that, oop. I'm sorry you've not had a chance to try SM out. Maybe in the future!
^It's a UK proof of age card which they just mightn't accept because it's unfamiliar internationally. But I agree, try again!!!! I would. I reckon you'd do well on SM, LolaMay!
Oh no! I just saw that I signed up with a studio by mistake!
It's trough I-camz and I just thought they were linking me to SM and nothing more. Jesus, why am I so dumb? :( What will happend to the payment now? It was only 155$ , but well needed until I get payed from MFC. Is there a way
to cut myself loose from this studio?
^ If you already broadcasted you're probably SOL. If you have your payment details set up you'll get paid, probably for the amount shown--when I was in an SM studio it never showed me what I'd earned, just what I'd be paid after the studio's cut. What it means is that you'll be paid $155 instead of the $180-210 (depending on how big of a cut I-camz takes, probably between 5% and 15%) that you would have gotten if you'd signed up directly through Streamate.
You can try deleting your account and signing up again through SM (DIFFERENT EMAIL, pics, all of that) and just hope that you slip through the cracks however that might not work and I wouldn't try until after you've been paid. Worst case scenario is you'll have to go 6 months without broadcasting before you'll be able to make an account directly with SM.
Thanks! Well, 155 is enough for now though :)
Well, I did check my Payoneer account, and the latest cam site I connected was SM. But what bothers me is that I can't find any options or
payment details on my SM account at all (where to find this?) so I'm just relying on what it says on Payoneer.
Well I actually signed up on Streamate this januari for the first time(not studio) but then I kinda forgot about it. So it was just last week I went through I-Camz and then
realized it was SM, lol. I then got a mail from SM saying that my old account was deleted because I signed up with a studio. I did miss the studio part then, so it was just today
that I read the mail more thoroughly. Well, maybe I just go with this for a while now. I do have MFC aswell (even though it kinda sucks there atm).
This is what it says on I-Camz FAQ:
Week 1: Work Week 1
Week 2: Week 1 Payment Held for Processing (Work Week 2)
Week 3: Paid for Week 1 (Payment Held for Week 2) Work Week 3
Week 4: Paid for Week 2 (Payment Held for Week 3) Work Week 4
Week 5: Paid for Week 3 (Payment Held for Week 4) Work Week 5
Etc.
God, I'm so lost.
It sounds like the standard weekly schedule. It's been a while since I worked SM (waiting out that studio contract) so someone correct me if they've changed the payout day but basically anything that you make from 12 AM GMT on Sunday to 11:59 PM GMT on Saturday will be loaded onto your Payoneer card on the following Friday. For example anything you make from the 25th of this month to the 31st will be paid out on June 6th. Hope that makes sense :)
The ones I'm referring to require self promotion because they dont have a lot of traffic but they pay 50% or more and allow you to self promote Clips4Sale has new upload/Twitter integration I think ur cut is %60. I Freinds % is 50 and has Twitter integration in ur profile AW % is 60 Kink Live % is 60 . NF pays 60% and theres indy camming . I plan on getting my own domain and making a clip and photo set store and do webcam shows on it with an integrated payment processor probably sometime next year. But for now just doing Amazon cards is fine for me for skype show payments.
Then theres the top token sites MFC/CB that pay %50 if u can handle them . These have their own traffic but u really gotta baby em. Lots of attention and creativity to keep them amused for the most part.
As of right now I've altogether quit SM . I'm on token sites and doing PSO I'm on 7 different PSO platforms most of the day one is NF two are dail in (party hotlines) and the rest are dispatch lines A lot of ppl have been getting tired of it and its been getting worse over the past few months not better . They give you such a small portion of ur earnings because of the traffic but it hasnt been that good . Its been this way all year so far IMO the new girls have been having a really hard time and the ones who have a fanbase have been doing ok. Maybe not as great as they would like but enuf to keep them happy enough to log in. Up until pretty recently I had a lot of tech and computer issues shitty computer then i made one that needed upgrades because it was a frankenstein of new/used comp parts and now the only thing left inside it thats from old parts are the harddrives . By the time i got my computer fully done being built to the way it is now i wanna say 3 months ago or so it was too late and traffic took a HUGE dive and its not worth it for me to go on anymore. Yeah i could pimp my cam models link and get 75% but those sign ups happen so rarely its not worth it for me to try when I have other options .
I think something drastic needs to happen tho IMO i dont think the low payout and depending on the white labels isnt working right now. I think they need to give us a bigger percent and drop the white labels or make advertising guidelines for them because the way theyre doing it now isnt working and its effecting us performers that dont have a loyal fanbase. I could tuff it out i suppose and build up and it may take awhile but why should i when i can just work harder or as hard as i would on sm promoting sites that pay more and PSO is doing so well for me?
SM is definitely the suck this week, same amount of hours as last week and 400 less dollars.... gross, gross gross.. here's hoping next week is better, guess I need to make sure I'm on time more often and not take a day off until after I hit my goal or something cause trying to rely on Friday nights/Sat day shift ain't cuttin it no more. Heres to an awesome week ladies! good luck.
This week sucked earlier on. I barely made anything but I had a couple of regulars save my week. 1 of them paid for 45 minutes in exclusive and the other one did a regular paid chat 30 minute exclusive block. I actually made more money this week than any other week thanks to those 2 customers.
I'm an idiot who can't figure this out, so thanks in advance: can someone repost the link to the software that fixes the issues of backlighting on SM for me? My lighting was AWFUL today even though it should have been great, and I'm pissed at myself for not taking the .5 seconds it would have taken to bookmark that. Thankyouthankyouthankyouuuu.
(edit)
Some asshat came in my free chat and posted the above it is a video of a girl on sm I think.
I was immediately taken exclu as soon as he posted it and could not report or ban his ass what could this be?
Maybe he is recruiting a studio girl or showing us he records us?
If it it is a studio they should not be stealing traffic that is so tacky.
As to the slowness sm does get slow for all of us but I have never not made my goal even having to stick it out ten hours to do it stay on no matter what u will get it get favorites ask for them to add u as much as u can leave ADD ME in the box on ur stream page. I still get new guys my average has dropped but it is my fault for not being consistent. If I work I will get my goal if I put the time in sometimes I have sat for 5 hours with 30 bucks and 3 hours with nothing but it will pay off it will even out one day u may make 5 the next 500.
I find if u do the time sm pays the crime lmao .
But seriously I think anyone can do it it may pain u as it does me to sit ten hours but if u want money u have to work and be on to get it if ten hours isnt ur thing there are other sites and ways but for me ten hours means food and bills.
I can also work some days and make my goal in 50 minutes just depends also be nice to ur custies and they will spend :)
^^^ Sooo in agreement with this! I will sit for 9-12 hours to make goal if it is slow. I always make it, when I do.
Thank u glam :)
I always make it we may complain that it is slow but I have never ever not made my goal I have not made it by logging off but I have always made it when I stay on so obviously it is in our hands sm is glitchy but the only issues I have ever had is lag i lag all the dam time u know what I ignore it and act like its not there and it also makes the custies ignore it :) I have had slow times and restarted the encoder and it was normal again.Other than that I pay no mind to feed or any issues the only thing I would worry about is getting kicked but even that can be helped. I have had the pvt/exclu entrance sound issues and the c2c sound not turning off at times and going black etc.. The list can go on all day but when u ignore it it will go away or ui and the men will learn to live with it. Sm is good to me if i work it and let it be. I get so bored at times which is why a little text site would keep my mind busy but other than the god awful silence at times lol it works for me.
U have to make some things work for u .
Sm has traffic I find some of it are idiots most spend if only a dollar or 90 cents they spend.
I ignore all the bad and embrace the good.I feel like If I want a grand this week I know how to get it but it will take time and I just have a bad back so I settle for what leaves me extra spending and savings and I start all over the next week.
I have been wanting an online job since I was a teen not like cam then lol but a real job and then last year I got on mturk please yall do not make fun ya gurl was working for pennies yes u heard me for real PENNIES. But at the time I was like hell yes I am at home and I am making money and I made those pennies add up I spent ten hours or more a day for ten to 15 bucks yall ok. Now that everyday was bad but I needed some extra money I own my home so no rent but bills and food and car expenses and child and dog so I am just like the rest of you all except I only pay taxes on my house instead of rent which makes it easier but I could make rent if needed. i used to dance and I got tired of that because 40 bucks a night was killing me and the men just got bad at my club and I developed an anger issue and I just could not be nice anymore and I knew either a girl or a custie would have got me in trouble because I can't hold back in environments like those anymore.
So I quit and I relied on my bf to help me and I wanted better for myself and I started looking up cam sites I think the we are 18 enticed me lmao. I searched sm found this and read mostly the whole daamn thing lol. Which scared me and excited me at the same time. I got on I worked and I have been lazy but as i said when I stay on it comes.
It comes hard on my back lol at times but cashing a check and being able to provide name brand for my kid and trips is what I aim for.
I feel like I have found myself yes on here and on cam it is the BEST thing and my DREAM I didn't expect to be on cam but now it feels like wth was i doing I should have hit this site years ago. I love sm my only worry is it going away because I am writing a book and plan on school if the author thing does not make me a living and then a buisness me and the bf have talked and are saving for but other than that I hope sm stays around cause I plan to I have seen a milf on there maybe shes a gilf at 54 i do not know but she fin kills it and I love her and I know if she can do it I can too and I plan too bby.
Lets just hope sm stays 20-30 more yrs cause I am :)
Even if its 200 a week I will be there I know personal ppl in my life who make that and live and get by.
U can do it dream big go hard and STAY ON!!
Sorry i am bored on sm now lmao and I just wanted to tell u how sm works for me and how it CAN work for u i stayed on page 5 for 6 months almost used encoder and bam 1st page i am still not a top girl I never plan to be but I like where I am.
I admire you guys that can pull 10 to 24 hour shifts. The most I have done was 8 with breaks. I find once I get bored and I FINALLY do get a show I have lost my energy and feel I am giving sub par shows at that point. So even though I can use the$$$ and need it, I log off. It does take a big toll on the mind and body.
And Tropo it's not just you. I've made 46 bucks in the last 2 days. Guys are out doing stuff, kids are off and relatives are over. People are on vacation ect. I still do feel porn is a 24-7 365 business and we should be making more. I guess I live in a dream world. Even people doing porno movies aren't getting compensated for putting themselves out there like that.
But I take really good notes on my time online. Weekends like this I will be forewarned of next year. And I'll plan ahead.
