sending videos to streamate customers
how do you do it?
i've been trying to send them a mediafire link but sm keeps blocking the link and it's driving me nuts. the video is too big to attach to a message. i've seen models do this (including one who posts here regularly!) so i'd love some tips for how to get around their obsessive blocking. i'm not trying to steal customers from streamate, i just want to send my customers a clip! jesus. it shouldn't be this hard.

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
i use hulkshare.com or yousendit.com

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
thanks! i use mediafire and i like it but i don't know what the best way is to get them the link. do you just ask for their emails and then email it to them?

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
Megauploads.com and send the link through sm email
-
Re: sending videos to streamate customers
with yousendit.com all u have to do is just get their personal email or with hulkshare you upload the file, it turns into a link, and u can send the link through the message system on the site...
i use hulkshare more bc u can download more files, bigger files etc. plus u just copy paste the link through a message and ur done...
yes..im lazy!

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
Seconding yousendit as being great
I use sendspace.com because you can kill the file once you verify it has been downloaded by the intended recipient. It is just a link like hulkshare, no attachments or anything needed. Other services may do this but sendspace has always been the easiest for me. Yousendit follows 2nd.
Or you could bypass all of this and just compress/zip/rar the file but sometimes ppl have no idea how to extract it

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
Could I get in trouble for sending a boy/girl video to someone on Streamate? I mean, considering I don't have him approved to appear on my account. I wonder if SM mods bother checking the files in the links?

No smurfette its ur content

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
but you could get in trouble for asking for an outside e-mail address. just be careful ladies.

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
I wasn't aware that you were allowed to send clips through sm! Is this OK? Or is this a "bending the rules" situation? I would love to be able to send/sell content on SM.....but I thought that you needed to be part of the "gold club" which I'm not super keen on....
Does anyone know if this is officially allowed?
Sorry for the threadjack, btw!!!

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
it's definitely a bending the rules situation, that's part of why i was worried about doing it properly. i tried to send the guys my mediafire link in the chat but it wouldn't show up for them, so i wasn't sure if it would show up in streamate email either.

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
I am having the same issue myself. I was using the encoder, but I can't even open the links on my computer. I have no idea how to send it.

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
I contact SM about it. Definitely AGAINST THE RULES! Why risk it? Customers can get in trouble for emailing you an outside the network email addy. So you can potentially lose a custie who DID spend money.
Seen other models on the site promising videos and such, but realize they are risking their jobs and income. Totally not worth it to me at all.
Smooches,
Sam

Definitely! No customer is worth losing that chunk of income.
Besides, my website and my name on streamate are exactly the same so if they want to buy vids they can find me. There really is no need for me to go to all that trouble to get a vid to them, screw that.

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
I saw a girl doing it last night in back to back gold shows. I am sure you all probably know who I am talking about. She was even giving out her personal url with a list of all videos on it. Like seriously? I thought that was way against the rules.
-
Re: sending videos to streamate customers
yeah, i was planning to do it as a gold show incentive and as a prize wheel gift (i just got a prize wheel) because it gets guys to participate more regularly in my shows - not because a customer was demanding videos or anything like that. but i'll stick with regular gold shows or sending pics or something. i wish streamate weren't so restrictive.
-
Re: sending videos to streamate customers
Yikes...I just did it one time as an incentive for my GOLD show. I assumed it was ok because I was seeing so many other models doing it. Definitely NOT doing that again, if I get banned I am screwed! Thanks for the heads up ladies, I sent them all naughty pics instead and the custies seemed to be ok with it.
-
Re: sending videos to streamate customers
What if you dont ask for the email and just send the file url via SM messaging? Hmm I guess that could still be against the rules because that's sending them to an outside site. But yes I agree a lot of the top girls do it as an incentive and are fine. But we all know how that goes lol. Oh well =/

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
SM blocks all links and email addresses. And if you get caught sending it a sneaky way, they will suspend or possible ban you for attempting to steal customers.
-
Re: sending videos to streamate customers
are you allowed to send a customer pics as an incentive? if so how would you do it?
-
Re: sending videos to streamate customers
Pretty sure you cant do that either. I wonder how much i need to make before I can be one of the "under the radar" girls ;-)
Any guess as to what the unspoken number would be around?
P.S. More of a playful joke than anything obviously. Sarcasm doesn't come off well via text so thought I'd clarify.

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
Seriously, girls. GOLD isn't even worth it. It's laughable. Do you not realize that we are getting $0.35 from every dollar??
The average video price should be at least $10. If you accepting $10 GOLD from someone you are only seeing $3.50 of that! Chump change! >:(
Totally, totally NOT worth the risk of getting banned over.

Re: sending videos to streamate customers
Naaaaaaw. If anything tell them to friend you on FB or Twitter then do the exchange of site.

Not to mention that's $3.50 not only for a video but also for a gold show. Talk about a deal! And they still complain....lol
