Chin up, ladies! Just because you have/had a bad week or month, doesn't mean you'll stop making money!

Do yall find a big difference in streaming in party chat vs classic chat in terms of how many privates you get? I've just about given up on gold shows being worth my time and I much prefer private anyway, I'm wondering if there's a possibility I would attract more customers that prefer private shows if I was in classic chat? Does it actually drop your placement at all like others have speculated?
I guess I could just try it out and see but I wanted to see if anyone else noticed a big difference when streaming in classic chat?
I've tried testing this out myself. My placement is never affected no matter which form of chat I choose. I do find myself making more money in classic chat though...maybe that's because I prefer it and am more comfortable knowing they can't see who else is in my room. It's just easier for me to look busy when there is only 1 person in my room...he has no idea I'm waiting on him lol.
I don't think having classic chat open drops your placement. I haven't been in party chat in forever and my placement has only dropped when I'm doing badly and not logging on.
The most annoying thing about classic chat is that guys often think they're the only one in the room and get confused when you're talking to other people. Or if you tell off a troll, they get offended and think you're talking to them.
I do think that the big fetish custies look for camgirls in classic chat, because a lot of fetish based cam girls do classic only.
Hmm yah that might be confusing LOL But I have started to get into the habit of replying to people with a private message so maybe that will help? I'm going to try it this week and see if it helps me fend off some of the constant "gold show bb" crap and get some better customers. I'm hoping it will eliminate some of the 2 minute privates too... while they do add up sometimes they are just annoying and end up wasting more time than it's worth getting undressed and putting up with "hurry up" type comments.
^^^ I type to them privately most of the time or in open chat when i just want to, when i have certain reasons, i use the automatic message system too that i created to tell them certain things, they believe i type the message for real lol. anyway, i can sell my shows in classic and do nothing in party chat so i stay with Classic cause fetish guys always want undivided attention lol. Not sure about the placement, i remember i was placed higher when i tried party chat tho, when trying gold shows but i cant tell for sure that was the reason, i stayed too little in party chat to be sure of it.
Sooo I messaged SM about my ranking problem last night, and another issue.. guess what I noticed in my dashboard today? There are days in my daily time online from this week that are showing 0 minutes. WTF is going on with my account? Of course it's almost 24 hours after I emailed SM admin and I have yet to hear back from them. :(
Try Liz?
Thanks AudriTwo.. I'm going to see what admin says, than I'm going to try Liz or Vanessa. Gah not going to let this bum me out. I'm sure it will sort it self out one way or another. Hope that admin writes me back by tomorrow morning... ::)
Is there a way to change the time from GMT to EST for the earnings report on SM?
I'm with ya 100%. I've been experimenting with Party Chat the last few months and notice a difference in the quality of guys. More, younger, gold show type dudes. I prefer Classic Chat. Tend to make more $ there and get more fetish stuff which I love doing. I'll still do Party Chat when I want to do Gold Shows (usually once a week as a treat) but that's about it.
Glad to see I'm not the only one whose been experimenting with this lately!
Nope. It's obnoxious, I know...
Hm.. I just signed up to SM after being on a much less popular cam site for nearly a week.. which has the name 'free' in it.. which is a huge turnoff to me
A regular messaged me on Streamate saying how much he misses me which I already know. I must confess, I've been slacking big time but SM is still my home. Sometimes a girl just doesn't feel like showing her body and that's OKAY! Money isn't everything.
SM makes me giggle. They wait until Tuesday, the official last day to change anything on your account to tell me that they sent my w9 forms to the wrong address and it was returned. Once I follow the directions on the account hold, they tell me I have to wait until early next week to not only get the account lifted; but to get paid for LAST WEEK. Really though? I really don't want to give up my account to a studio but daily pay for all my sites is looking quite good right about now. #dontplaywithmymoney #notallthatbotheredthough #myrentisntdueuntilthe15th
^^BB, isn't that crazy? Like why wait until the last day to update us? We models don't live and breath sm enough to check our accounts outside of the times we actually work. Unfortunately even if you do update them they will take days to get back to you and then you have to wait until next week because they won't edit it until before Tuesday. I'm really tempted to hustle through DP because at least I know I'll get paid on time.
Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I emailed Vanessa...hoping she can get it situated for me...if not then I guess I'll have to wait on MY money that I earned MYSELF until they decide they wanna give it to me.
I got my 1099. Now if I Could get my payments on time again, that would be great!
