did not work out
they are still as cheap
Streamate thread SLAYED me.
yeah i noticed the refresh thingy is working :)
working for you too?
worked for me for a bit (refresh thing)
then stopped working again
I had lowered my rates a couple of weeks ago because thought it would help but it didn't
so now I have put them back up again because I wasn't getting more privates just less money :)
U do what you think is best. But I also did this and got NOTHING. Im not on SM often. Mostly 2 days a week. But I have a goal to make and will be living on the site. But since its one of the many sites I split cam with I think Im gonna boost my rates? Its not my number one free chat site and I kinda ignore them on SM. So I think by just holding out at a higher rate it will be better in the long run when someone does take me private. So many different ways to play this game.
How to make a Streamate Support Special: 1 part Incompetence, two parts Inability to Read, half-part Redundancy, and a sprinkling of Bitchy, blended together into a nice, tall glass of Worthless.
Hopefully Liz's team is more useful than whoever handles accounting.
that newsletter they put out...like thats supposed to increase our earnings for August. HAHAHAHA whatever SM!
I'm going to take some time off from Streamate. It's slow and I kinda feel as if they want us all to do Gold shows by so many of the changes. If I wanted to do large group shows I would do MFC or a similar site that pays at least 50 percent.
My week has been full of these fools that joined via links saying the site was free and implied nudity was free as well. I cam on other sites and they don't ask for free nudity 95 percent of the time and they have been busy. That with all the glitches are stressing me the fuck out and NO site is worth stress. I heart you guys and I hope the site gets better for you. If not don't be afraid to branch out and try other things. I did and it was amazing.
jaswolf: hi there, how are you?
is it time to get naked?
SM was in/out
If I could pull regular hours I could make more money
The money is there
Its like force feeding a kid through cam for me right now but I blame that on personal life.
I cant hustle hustle so I'm chilling still making good
Think I get more irritated at myself, balancing camming with regular life and when customers do STARE or NOT TIP INTO a goldshow or go private, I get irritated more easily.
I'm pressed for time.
I need to remember my time is limited for the next two weeks then the hustle is on again. I forget I am limited right now.
Still not complaining about the chunks I do make.
Can you recommend some other site. One's that you can just do privates or group. I find sitting in front of a camera for hours sucks
Wow I am so glad I came here b/c SM has been deathly slow the past two times Iv'e logged on, it had me questioning myself and I ALMOST lowered my rates! But after reading this forum I decided to actually raise them ... but I really do wish it was a way to NOT have to do privates/group shows and only just do exclusives, that way we can weed out the 30 sec peepers! I recently started using a timer on my computer (it's called Snaptimer) I set it to 1 minute as soon as my show starts with a new custie I click the timer and I try to stall, and ask him hi, hru today, anything you want to see? Anything specific? I don't show any nudity til after 30 secs when I know they will be charged (but I might have to change that lol) and if he's one of those "SHOW PUSSY" guys in the first 5 seconds I personally just ignore their asses and do my thing until the 1 minute is up! Most leave before then anyways. It's still no way for me to catch the peepers who pop in while im in the middle of a show then leave before the minute is up. I wish SM would atleast let me block them or opt out of privates. I have mixed emotions abt this site!!! Men are so weird! I don't know if I should be chatty or 100% ice queen take me pvt now type of camgirl .. I always log on and say I'm gonna be on my serious/ice queen shit but i'm personally a silly fun smiley person and I love to talk but it seems they'd prefer me desperate or straight up rude demanding them to take me pvt ... maybe I should just type and not talk lol haha who knows! But yea tonight was so slow hopefully this morning will be better!
Only way I've found that truly cuts down on peepers is to switch my premium and exclusive rates. $4.99/min exclusive and $5.99/min premium. I don't get multiple guys in paid often, so it works out well enough for me to do. Plus, I'm better at solo entertainment than multi-guy entertainment anyway. I've gone back to premium low/exclusive high recently, but refuse c2c requests, toys, specific shows, etc., etc., in anything but exclusive. And if I've got a lot of guys who I think will peep in guest chat? I have a clause in my description that says I won't do below-the-belt nudity in premium either. Occasionally I will if it's just that guy in my chat and no guest chat/possible peeper guys, but otherwise I avoid full nudity. Hasn't hurt my ratings or profits.
I do have sisterlocks but they're much bigger than they would normally be because my hair is so thick.
Used to go to a lady too but I've had them eight years so I learned how to retighten them myself this year. It takes MUCH longer but it's certainly way cheaper in the long run.
I also like the idea of switching prem/excl I'm going to try that once my special is over.
I doubt this would happen because they know they are trying to cheat the system to begin with. People who know they are doing something wrong aren't going to go to support. What are they going to say? "I was trying to get a free 40 second show and I stayed 41 seconds and got charged. But I read somewhere on a stripper forum that I wouldn't get charged if I left before 45 seconds, I want a chargeback?" Come on now, let's be real here. I don't even think this is something mentioned for customers when they sign up? I could be wrong. And if I am wrong and this IS mentioned when they sign up, that is their fault for not reading and they have no reason to be asking for a chargeback since it was in writing. There are guys that lurk this forum specifically to find tips or tricks to get the advantage on us. I doubt SM will penalize us for that, and if they DID start getting a bunch of requests for chargebacks for 40 second peepers, THEN THEY would probably change that rule or at least reduce that 40 sec rule. They are a company trying to reduce costs like anyone else.
I switched my rates, as mentioned a few posts above. I.E.. exclusive is less than premium, like I have done in the past. Guys like it more, stay longer, and no peepers! :cloud9::cloud9:
I'm one of the unfortunate ones who gets like 5-10 peepers in a row, and I'm sooo over it!
