I once saw a model advertising that the first 30 seconds were free in her room topic. I was like 'why are you telling them that? Bad cam girl!'
I had the exact same thing happen last night,it was so incredibly frustrating!It was my first night to use the encoder all night,i just got a new laptop THANK GOD,but I never got a single exclusive.which is REALLY REALLY odd for me,i RARELY get privates,almost all of mine are exclusives.which made me start to think that the exclusive option may not have been showing up for them...im gonna ask them today and see what they have to say,i HATE private honestly,even though "technically" youre supposed to make more money if you have more than one guy in there...
God yes.
I am honestly ok with a 30 sec preview. Really. Because if you are taking me pvt, you don't get to see anything, and if I am already in there....well, fine. I'm not thrilled, but I get it. And I know that I would have far fewer pvts with multiple viewers without that feature. And I understand SM's legal reasons for having it. So I have made my peace.
But DAYUM I hate the abusers. I hate the fact that a guy can set a timer, and watch basically the entire show for free by continually bouncing in and out of the room. I HATE it. I further hate the fact that (like you) I am often not at the keyboard - I start at the computer, and then move back to the couch, so that I can lay back and get on with it. I don't want to be mid-diddle and notice someone popping in and out, and then have to sit up, stop what I am doing, click them, (if I can catch them) and ban them. Because that is an excellent way to get your current customer to LEAVE, and then lose money.
Surely SM can set something up that prevents someone from having more than one 30sec preview per pvt?
I really wish that SM would put a cooldown timer on the free peepers after a certain amount of free previews. One preview? Fine. Two? Alright, you didn't find a girl you like. Third time? Why don't you take a break for a couple of minutes from this nonsense and browse some girls in free chat instead.
how can i send guys videos / links to a video to d/l after they high tip'd for a GS? I asked them to send me a message after the show, and they did and now I don't know how to give them their videos without giving them a link to download them from (mediafire etc), I don't wanna get in trouble --or get them in trouble; I see all kinds of models offering this so I assumed the process would be slightly ... more simplified? would SM know these videos were rightfully won by these guys via high gold? I don't want to get myself or them in trouble... I see all kinds of stuff like this happening but can't figure out the logistics :(
Get some hosting Host Gator and Cam Girl Services are reasonable. Then you can learn how to create a folder to put your vids and photo packets in each one will have it's own link which you will be able to drop into emails for your clients. Both the above mentioned hosting service's have excellent customer service.
http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/new...eply&p=2429333 thanks so much but how can we do this if no exchange of personal info on SM is allowed? one guy sent me his email address and another nothing but a message via pm. I assumed if i sent these guys links to d/l videos I would get banned -- or even for having them send me their email addresses I would get banned? I don't know how to relay the link to them. I mean, they rightfully -did- give their $$ to SM for these videos, I can't see there being an issue unless this is abused...
Well, we put links in their messages for them to download. Just do not include your e-mail address or any of that, only the direct link to download. That should be fine for the most part but I am not saying you won't get banned for that. If you worry so much about getting banned for exchanging the videos, just don't offer the videos next time. It is the best safe bet.
Is this happening to anyone else right now? I typed in www.streamatemodels.com and it gave me this message "Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.streamatemodels.com" Uh, what??
omg WTF!
Here too.
They must be doing a major overhaul.
I just went on SM and 95% of the models' profile pics are not loading on any page. Weird. THey are working on something. Would be nice if they sent out a notice of some kind!
ETA: and the streamatemodels.com site won't load for me either. Was planning on logging on soon.
The site's working now. I guess I freaked out over nothing ... hopefully they fixed their glitches while they were at it.
Last night when I was finished an exclusive session, instead of it giving me x seconds to get dressed, it put me right back in mothafuckin' FREE CHAT. I noticed it right away, and clicked the 'Stop Session' button before any registered members came in the room.
As long as the guy messages you first (unless you happen to have a previous message from him already in your inbox), you can click the Reply button and copy/paste video links into the message (I use MediaFire). And I could've sworn that a model on here or another forum said that Model Support told her it's fine to do this. But I know they don't want models exchanging numbers and e-mails with guys, and telling guys "Visit me tonight on MyFreeCams!" or "Highest tipper of the day gets a Skype show!" since it's telling guys to see you on cam elsewhere.
In the recent TV e-mail, they had a tidbit about pics and vids as though it is allowed....
"*If you're selling photos or videos, make sure to tell TV viewers they can get them too once they log in."
Yeah, I noticed that. Guess everyone can take that as a "go ahead" to do that if you weren't sure.
Has anyone got the "the phone button doesn't work in my area, call me directly" line?
Any truth to it or are they just trying to get our numbers?
^^ uuum purrrdy sure you know the answer to that question already LOL! gawd,guys like this are so pathetic.... I had one yest that wanted me to tie up my tits,not soft core but expressly HARDCORE twisting and pulling,bondage etc etc I told him sure,if he bought an hr long exclusive block and his answer- theres no exclusive block option for u.i checked and all of them are enabled.asked another guy to look,showed up fine for him so pretty sure he was just being a cheapass not wanting to pay for that much time...sorry but if you want me to give myself a purple nurple,you gon' have to PAY for it buddy!
hmm... so does this mean selling recorded shows that happen ON Streamate or recordings of our OWN videos? I wish this was more clear for us... It'd be nice if we could edit our Gold Shows vids and use them as bargaining power for future Gold Shows. Just so you all know, I sent a message to support about videos and am waiting for their reply... will let you all know.
Technically those shows belong to SM now. It's in your contract. Though I can't see why they'd have a problem with you re-selling them since it will just bring them more money. However, I believe they're referring to "porn" type shoots you've done, etc. I saw a girl GIVING AWAY an absurd amount of pictures (saying exactly how many would be too close to using her name) for EVERY single guy who joined her gold show. Sure, she was making the shows, but I don't think she'll have any left to give away after that. And what happens with the guys say "but we already have those. what else will you give us, besides the show, for our $5 DONATION?" Haha. It's insane how girls are willingly training these guys. Insane.
I digress. The point was, that chick was selling pic sets of a threesome lesbian shoot she did for her member site. I think that's the kind of thing they mean.
Grrr....so the SM login page isn't working for me, and when it does it's intermittently. I can sometimes get to the show start page, but then I get a connection error after a few seconds. I also can't look at any other girls' profiles. This would happen the one day I'm over halfway to my goal. All this holiday theme shit fucking the site up.
Having encoder issues, spent half the night using standard chat. I contacted support and seemingly got an actual response from a human? Here it is:
Are you using wifi when streaming? If so, please connect your internet
cable to your computer. You can try lowering your bit/frame rate to 600/29.97. If you're not streaming in HD, you may try lowering your quality settings? this is located in the drop down menu, located on the upper left hand corner of the performance page, above your chat window.
Also, make sure that you have the latest version of flash.
If this does not help, run a speed test and let us know what the upload speed is: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
If you are using the encoder, disable the user alerts to see if it helps. If not, send us screen shots of your encoding log and encoder settings.
Surprisingly their suggestions seemed to actually help a little :)
So... I cammed on and off on SM but I was with that stupid IntrntMdling studio and my computer can't handle the encoder so I quit a couple of months ago because I wasn't making crap. Now I want to sign up with DP for my C4S but I have to be an existing DP member first, so I'm in the process of re-opening a SM account through them. I figure, since I'll have a DP SM acount might as well use it, right? Since my main site has really slowed down?
Problem is, I kind of dread going back to SM but the daily payment will be nice, and of course not having to give up 80% like I previously was will be a huge boost. I just... Ugh, need to figure out a way to maxmize the crap of my new girl status. I used to be a first page row 4-6 girl and I'm intimidated by how long it will take me to get back there, if I ever do at all. When I stopped camming on SM I was middle of page two and that placement SUCKED.
