Hope so. I really like SM but I can't stand boring free chat. Lol. I wanna do gold show but I suck at meeting my goal and its hard for me. I guess I will have to try sometime soon I keep get slow days.

Hope so. I really like SM but I can't stand boring free chat. Lol. I wanna do gold show but I suck at meeting my goal and its hard for me. I guess I will have to try sometime soon I keep get slow days.
I started camming again back in August and this week is probably the slowest week I've ever seen on SM since I've been back!! Tonight, my paid chat rate was almost 50% but only because of one VERY long private towards the end of my shift. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have made my goal, ugh. I never understood the "Tuesday" thing girls' talk about, but this Tuesday and last Tuesday were both EXTREMELY slow. Monday was pretty bad for me this week too.
On SM I'm constantly getting guys popping in and out my room, guys asking "Why do you have so many clothes on?" (a tank top and shorts is NOT "so many clothes"), guys complaining about 5.99/9.99 rates, and guys trying to talk dirty to me in free chat. I'm trying to make SM work for me, but DAMN, where are the SPENDERS???
I saw a guy doing a GOLD show on SM the other day so I thought I'd click on him and take a peek. He was awesome (talking, attentive, responsive, good lighting, etc), so I promoted his sweet ass on Twitter. - It was SO cool to see a guy doing a GOLD show!
That aside, he mentioned (whether this is true or part of his hustle to help shut up freeloaders, I don't know) how Streamate can actually get hard on people who have a low percentage of time in free chat... I cannot remember his exact wording, but it most definitely took me back to something someone (perhaps Melonie?) said about Streamate starting to do this a few months back about them cracking down on performers who take up bandwidth by streaming a lot of time, but not bringing enough $$$$ back into the site. Like they are actually costing SM money by streaming if they aren't earning enough?
I think perhaps guys may find this harder, and have had more experience with this because I don't think they get nearly as much work as women on the site (I could be very, very wrong about that so don't quote me on it!) so I don't necessarily think it's something we all need to start being scared about. But it did make me curious as to the ins-and-outs of this, IF what he said was true.
I really, really hope that this won't be construed as fear-mongering or any crap like that. As I said, he could just have said this to help him hustle for the GOLD show tips / help along a private afterwards if the GOLD show failed, or he could have been serious. It just got me really curious.
I'm getting the "why so many clothes" a lot lately too. It drives me nuts.
Guys are going to complain about rates no matter what they are ... although, I know you mentioned you price your premium higher, to encourage guys to go exclusive, but exclusive doesn't show up to a lot of people. It might help if you change it so your exclusive is higher, just because of the fact exclusive isn't available for all guys.
Thanks, but I'm going to keep exclusive the lower rate, because I don't like premium.
Getting the option for exclusive is easy. All the guy has to do is tip ANY SM model 5 GOLD...OR take ANY SM model premium. Then when he returns to your room, the exclusive button will be there. I mentioned this before in a previous post, and have tested it out before with guys. It works.
^ Oh, okay. I didn't know they had to tip for exclusive to show up. Now I know what to tell the guys that ask, thanks.
Edit: Just to add, I wasn't trying to tell you what to do or anything, I hope I didn't come off like that. I didn't know that you knew about the exclusive not showing up. Turns out you know more about it than me. :P
These guys are asking this ridiculous question during WINTER time when it's like 30 degrees...lol. Do they really expect all cam girls to be sitting in free chat wearing a bra and thong? I really believe they think that...lol.
When they ask me "Why do you have so many clothes on?," I smile and say "Because you haven't tipped me yet (for a flash)" or I'll say "Because you haven't gotten me naked yet." :P
If the exclusive option doesn't show up after they've tipped you the 5 Gold, it's because they'll need to leave the room real quick, and then re-enter. When they re-enter, the exclusive option should be there. A regular had first told me about this (he explained why some guys only see 'premium' and not 'exclusive'), and then I tested it out with 1 or 2 other guys, and it worked the way I described. :)
I started logging onto SM fully-clothed a few nights ago because I figured they're already getting to see a shit-ton of me naked for absolutely free if I go on in my usual bra and thong... They can see cleavage, tummy, thighs - maaaaaany guys can very happily jerk themselves silly to those things alone, so fuck! they ought to be paying us to go to the effort to make ourselves look so incredibly easily accessible and hot in the first place.
Sometimes I kind of damn myself for trying to make myself look like a frigging FHM cover model for FREE chat! Sometimes it hits me that guys pay money to look at still shots of women in the stereotypical provocative clothing we wear for free chat (bra sets, sexy costumes, niche outfits, certain kinds of knickers (lace, silk, etc), bikinis, suspenders, stockings, garter belts...) O_O If they're happy to pay for just still shots of those things, (which we know they do), this may easily explain why we get so many freeloaders and quiet guys sitting in our rooms. It might not, but... it might at the same time.
Anyway, I start my shift doing a GOLD show completely clothed during the start of the countdown... And I specify in the topic that with every, say $10 or $20 GOLD, ONE item of clothing will come off.. It can act as a very good tipping incentive if it's played off right, and if there are enough guys in the room to make it worthwhile.
I am going to make it a habit of logging on every night fully clothed... I just want the guys to be reminded of who has the upper hand when it comes to how much of my cleavage, sexy underwear and naked thighs they get to see for $0!
We're a luxury to look at even when no one is paying.. *gulp*.. It's enough to make me want to do my whole "cocoon" act again when I wrap my entire body in my duvet and refuse to come out until I reach a $200 GS target! LMAO! XD
Ahh I miss that night... I actually gained a well-spending guy that night who fondly called me "butterfly"; I opened C2C to find him wrapped up in his duvet! Don't anyone ever tell you that you can't pull money and quality regs in unless you're half-naked!!
So true.
One of the few times I actually did gold show (I've done them 3x and always made my goal)...the guys were nagging me to show a nipple, boob, ass, etc. I was fully clothed...I told them no...Thats what the gold show was for...One of the guys in the room was like "You are very smart my dear..very smart"...and made it rain shortly after lol.
I notice the same thing when I am in free chat.
Sometimes I've gotten desperate and start taking clothes off and my room may get a little fuller but once the clothes get back on...all the wankers leave. Waste of time and energy.
My hourly yesterday: $65 Today: $40 <---and i was going for that naked, take my clothes off approach..no bueno
Does anyone know if SM works better in Google Chrome or Firefox? I troubleshooted (troubleshot?) with my bf and another camgirls hubby last night and we cannot figure out AT ALL what could possibly be fucking up my feed on SM.
Chrome goes smooth for me :)
I think back when Google Chrome was having issues (somewhat recently), when I used it for SM, I think guys were unable to hear me when I was on cam. Then when I came back under Firefox, it was fine. So I've been using Firefox ever since.
Google Chrome just recently started working as normal, and now I can use it again with the MFC model web broadcaster. Yay! I'm not sure how it'd work for SM now though...haven't tried.
I get the best results from safari. Plus it's good to have separate browsers for work and fun
I use Chrome for SM and Firefox for surfing while camming. I never have trouble with Chrome on SM. One time I have to enable pop-ups to be able to see customer profiles but that's all.
Just logged on to cam and phone and C2C options are greyed out for me? wtf? Is this a system-wide issue?
,,,,,
One day I clicked on a SM model's avatar photo (she has an MFC cam score of like 11,000+), and was shocked to see that she has tons of negative member comments on her SM profile. There was several back to back comments from guys complaining about her shows. I actually felt bad for her reading it.
Anybody having terrible day on SM tonite???? aaaaaawww I am having the slowest day eeeveeer!!!! I know I am new but this is baaaad :( I hope you girls are having better one!!! I do have question- what do you think its better- to put down I am from Czech Republic or set up US ? (i do live in US and I think I can speak good english and guys do understand me :) of course there is accent lol ) do you think it has some influence on traffic??? Thanks!!! thx for everything on this forum!!! I am gonna share my journey with y'all too!!!
Tonight has been okay....thanks to a couple long shows, I have noticed traffic is pretty wonky though...
1st page, 2st row a couple of hours ago with 6 people in my room....huh?
As far as the country I'd probably put down US...a lot of guys filter out everything but US/Mexico/Canada, so it might effect traffic.....and by choosing US you'd be in the sort of exotic/accent/sexyeuropean niche :)
If you put down Czech Republic you might get a lot of "do you speak english guys"..*facepalm*
Even with the accent they'll know you're in the US and not lying bc I'm pretty sure they don't give European models the option to put North American countries..
However it's ultimately up to you
Thanks!!! I will change it back!!! I thought it might look "cool" but hell I need traffic!!! Thanks for your advice girl!!! I am on for few more hrs but its like me and NO ONE lol!!! my face hurts from keeping smiling haha
