I dont really know how the next contests should look like but my conclusion on this one is people voted/ gave gold for a performance or product than for a costume actually cause as u explain us in here, u still offered a free show for the gold received in free chat and maybe u sold content too, many models did this, is understandable as u just said, models will always use what they have & is allowed on site to win the contest.
A costume contest would have mean if only the costume counted without offering anything in exchange but hey, as i said before, people do what they have to do to win tho having the ability to do gold shows & having vids for sale matter a lot cause these things attract customers/ traffic & if they like the model they'll tip.
It's an advantage from the start towards the ones who dont have gold shows enabled or sell content, this was always my point. Even the classic gold shows did not matter for gaining 'pure gold' as votes the $0 gold shows were used in model's advantage, it mattered for attracting traffic & for receiving votes as a show was given afterwards.
I did not participate here cause i did not even have a costume so no specific profile picture & intro.
Trying to work 'like usual' did not work either so i decided to take saturday off, i was also very affected by a certain event here where i live, wont give details in open forum.
Congrats to the winners, well done babes!
Hey there! I'm totally new and I'm sorry ahead of time if I'm not posting in the right place.
I've been on SM for about a week now and since yesterday, I've had clients telling me that they can hear me but can't see me. It seems to only happen to people on their cellphones. Has anyone experienced something similar to this? What did you do to fix it? I messaged support and they were really unhelpful. I'm running the encoder on my macbook pro, if that helps at all.
Heck yes, I have worked my way onto page 1 of Streamate! Ive been trying to be really more consistent since August when I was back on page 3. Its nice to see that hit now. Now I am just gonna battle my way up row by row and get that money.
Thats why the cam sites are in the mess they are in right now. "Girls are gonna hustle , sell content and give away alot of shit for cheap to get as much "gold" as possible.." Wrong state of mind for camming. Cheap isnt a word that should be in the camming industry period. It isnt a contest since a contest isnt bought, but actually won on merits in my opinion.
Unless its an AVN Award, XBiz award, Freeones Award, it really doesnt matter overall who wins. Those are legit contests that you win on your hard work and skill.
Nothing against you Jenny at all, I know you work hard. Just annoyed cam sites waste money on contests when those funds could help fix glitches or get better traffic.
When calibrating the SMbroadcast tool do you have the auto-adjust quality while streaming button checked? I am recalibrating since it's been kind of choppy tonight and wondered if it might help or hurt to have that checked.
It was 1100 my cut and I emailed and asked Liz and I got a $600 bonus so that is what the 3rd place reward was.. you can email [email protected] and ask her , she'll tell you ;)

Thanks Jenny! Congrats on your 3rd place. If you don't mind me asking, what do you think was your biggest gold generator in free chat? I found a lot of people really liked "gold shows" that offered prizes like videos in return for tips.
My two cents. I could never win a contest on SM, EVER. I do not sell content and never will. I don't really do gold shows, I really want to build my fetish clientele and that's my focus. That will never be a winning combination for any contest unless I called all my findom clients and forced them to give, which I am generally uninterested in trying.
ALL of that being said, I still think the contest was a good idea. Just because I can't win doesn't mean its not worthwhile and guys WERE tipping for costumes. I still placed and spent nearly 50% of my time in paid chat. I'm sure SM saw a bump in money as well or they wouldn't be running another contest so soon.
Again, IDGAF what other people do in their rooms. I had a great night and made my high goal for the week, so clearly people are still DOING pvt and excl even with all the free show madness. I got a cool costume and got a fun comicon cuck humiliation client out of the deal. Is okay with me.
I am the only one who doesn't know about the next contest? Got all curious.
Girls, can you please point me to the thread where it explains all about party chat and gold shows system on SM? i can't find a good thread that explains how exactly it works, i'm back from a 4 year time off, so i need to understand how it works, thanks in advance :)
I wrote that after reading all the posts of confused and anxious girls on SW. I felt bad that some of them were getting all nervous and worked up. No one knew the "rules" or this or that and it seemed like a big head ache. HOWEVER after reading the after math of it, LOL I'm counting the days till next year and I'm gonna join in for a 24 hour camathon! By that time, I'll have a real strategy to make some gold. Since I haven't sold vids on SM in awhile. Maybe I'll start making some new ones again. Congrats Jenny too and to everyone who cammed on Halloween, had fun and got some gold.
The contest was especially fun for those of us who are already WAY into cosplaying and/or Halloween, so I was THRILLED to have something to shoot for... That being said, I rather think it would have been a kick ass night for a whole lot of us even without the contest, but I like that Streamate is at least making an attempt to reward us for our efforts.
I do have my fingers crossed that maybe, just MAYBE, if/when there is another contest that Streamate will just make it TOTAL EARNINGS for the whole day. Something that REALLY is easy for everyone to understand, both customers and models alike, and as it's typically done on other cam networks. I so won't win, I'm not as popular as I used to be, but at least I would understand the way the game is played from the get-go. That and a leaderboard. That would be tremendous. The customers would go ape shit to SEE their money actually counted.
I didn't get my email into Liz fast enough, but I am stoked to be one of the two "Anons" in the Top 10. Appreciate all of the kind words over on the Twittersss. Keep on a rocking it, chicas. I LOVED seeing a network full of happy camgirls in costume having a good time. It really was something. Something we could sure use more of.
*hugs from a gal who never posts*
I totally enjoyed watching you for a while while I unwound after my hours online. I also checked out the costumes from some other girls on here, without outing anyone, DAYUM some of you guys were amazingly creative, crazy hot, and fuck the whole contest thing, so many cool costumes and games and such! Keep on keepin' on with that awesome shit, ladies.
Hello,
sorry if this is a wrong thread, just looking for help
Does anyone know anything about streamate assignee affiliate? In most of the european countries they tell models that you're not allowed to register as an independent model and they refer you to a studio. Me and some of my friends tried opening one, so we could avoid giving away money to a studio owner, but the affiliate said they control who can open studio in some european countries and Baltic region, which is kinda messed up... And they really don't want to talk about it, so they just ignore me. Does anyone know about united states or UK? whether it's easier to open a studio, because then I could bypass this shady bureaucracy with messed up exclusive deals with some eastern European mobs.. Anyway if some US,UK,Canadian model has some experience with studio I would really appreciate for any information whether it's easier to open one down there.
