Because if he wants to skype and you give him your info they aren't making any money of that transaction? Makes sense to me. They see it as you stealing from them.
True
!. your contract that you signed. that you agreed to, says you cant.
2. Your stealing, plain & simple.
He asked you to go off site so he can be cheap. You agreed so you can cut SM out of their money. Money they spend hosting, building, improving their site. Money they paid out to get those customers.
You knew the risk. Was he worth missing out on 2 days of camming on SM?
Sam
This! All of this.
It doesn't matter how much they pester you about it, either. No means no. If they have a problem with it, tell them to talk to SM support. You can't do anything but get banned for breaking rules you agreed to. I'd honestly take this time to go over those rules that you signed up for again (if you didn't initially. I know my memory is shit, so it's possible you forgot?). Re-read them, familiarize yourself with them, and hey, if you have questions on any of it, now is a good time to ask!
It may not seem like those 'user agreements' are worth reading and understanding, but 2 days of being cam-banned says otherwise! Live and learn, right? ;D
Be glad it's just a suspension, not a perma ban :)
Men will ask you to break the rules all day long. Not a single one of them will care if you get suspended or fired. None of them are going to pony up the money for your bills.
They are willing to let you take all the risk so they can get you cheaper.
If you didn't want rules, then become an independent. Put in the time building up your marketing, getting you own billing, finding customers all on your own. See how tough it is out there. Compete with every other independent cam gal & cam site.
If your upset with the 35% then use the links they provide to get new customers to the site & earn the extra 40% equaling 75% without worrying about chargebacks.
To complain when you break the rules isn't fair to streamate at all.
Good Luck,
Sam
Think of it this way. If you worked at Walmart, they wouldn't like if you sent people to Kmart. Same concept...it's taking away from their business!
i feel like you are going to have an awfully hard time finding people who will feel sorry for you. you chose to break the rules---you have to live with the punishment. a large percent of us here are giving 70% to streamate---why shouldn't you have to?
try MFC , they don't care about skype shows but you'll find many paypal seekers that will try and f*** up your paypal account.
Everything said above I agree with. It's viewed as stealing. So they are telling you , steal from us , then you can't eat from us either.
The guys don't give a fuck , some actually get off on kicking you off the site.
Sam, you always have great advice! I'm just adding here that I love the affiliate link because not only do I get that extra 40% when they spend on me, I get an extra 20% when they spend on someone else.
Plus I get to giggle to myself when I see, "So and So, 20% Cammodels". I feel like I know a dirty little secret. "Hee hee! You masturbated today! I can see!"
You guys are mean
I used to do Skype shows and I'm lucky I didn't get myself banned.
They did you a favor by discouraging it. These guys will bug the life out of you, want you to work for half price or less, do chargebacks so you don't get paid or try to blackmail you into giving them free shows by turning you in to the site.
Skype is not worth the hassle or your time when you could be making money you are sure you'll be paid and not spending time chatting for free arranging shows or arguing with them about discounts.
I know what I'm saying here is unpopular but so be it. Fire_spice to be honest I don't blame you for mentioning Skype b/c it's not like you would be making that much as a cam model after Streamate takes 65% of your sales and leave you a measley 35%. I know most would say that you're protected from chargebacks but it sucks when as a cam girl you are selling your services, dealing with annoying customers, etc and I feel camsites should pay us more for all that we deal with. I understand that they have expenses but I feel they should cut webhosts 50% of the earnings.
If you make more offline then why not? If I were you I wouldn't feel guilty b/c it's not camsites feel guilty about selling our videos and we don't get a cent from it nor do they feel gulity throwing us nickels & dimes when they get fives and tens off of our backs. Just be more discreet next time. I hope you didn't mention it in free chat b/c you never know who could have seen or been listening and reported you. Be careful next time. I'm on your side on this issue.
^^^ if she thinks she should be payed MORE, then she can start up her own website and get a payment proccessor. Alot of girls do not want to go throught that hassle. But just because your lazy, it does not give you a right to STEAL.
As An affiliate of streamate, girls like this really piss me off. You could be possible digging into my bread and butter. Some girls are just to damn selfish to realize that.
If you think you are so hot, start researching and open up your own shit, and see if you can pull thousands of guys of day.
I think not.
Some of you truly have no buisness sense. Streamate does not pocket 65%.
Some of that money goes to advertising for the ladies, WHICH YOU NEED to get the traffic in the first place.
IF you think you can do better than streamate, bring your own crew of men and you will make 70%!!!!!!!!
This isnt your private platform, its your workspace, which you happen to share with other girls!
Like I said, get your own and make the rules and percentages, or log on and get your 35% that you didnt have to bust your ass for.
GEEZ,
newbies need to stop giving people bad advice on how to STEAL, and repeatedly get suspended.
As a matter of fact, if you want to do it your way, DO IT. once your gone, the ladies on the site have one less problem to worry about ---> THIEVES.
1. You broke one of Streamate's rules, and now you're upset that they took action and suspended you. Lesson learned (I hope). Don't give out your Skype info. I know that site has serious flaws, but Streamate is mad strict (I was suspended once a while back for showing below the belt nudity for GOLD). If earning money on there is important to you at all, you will follow their rules. These guys don't care about you getting a 2-day suspension. They care about that hard cock in their hand. :P And you best believe they'll find some OTHER models to jack off to during your suspension.
2. You came on here and started a SM thread about this because you were too lazy to use the search function and read the tons of SM threads. Seriously, this forum's gotten out of hand with some of these new threads. Too much clutter.....smh.
3. Lots of ladies here gave you useful advice, and you say they're "mean?" They're not trying to be mean. They're trying to help you out so that you're not foolish enough to make the same mistake twice.
It really sucks to see so many new threads like this after the SW ladies were nice enough to make those stickied threads. A LOT of awesome info is given in those threads, yet this forum is still being cluttered with a bunch of "I'm new...what do I do?"-type threads. *sigh*
not trying to be mean - but - you signed the contract that explained the rules - your not being forced to work for 35% - you got caught - you got lucky and they let you keep your account - just go forward and dont do it again - the ladies here are pretty forgiving - listen to what they are telling you and you can make enough that you wont need to side hustle with some cheap ass
Look at it as a learning experience. Actually they could have totally banned you or given a much longer suspension, like two weeks.
I am also doing my own site as well but it is very slow getting started...
Like you guys aren't cutting into our bread & butter. I mean how hard do you really work and if you do it can't be as hard us camgirls do? It appears to me all you really do is just approve of our application process and send links over the internet. That doesn't sound like someone who should get paid just as much when we put our backs and sweat into what we do. I have researched the job and it doesn't seem like hard work at all. In addition to that, why do you have to curse when you rsponded to my post? That seems likes you have anger issues and that you're acting immature. There are ways to express yourself w/o resorting to cursing. If you're not already then try being a camgirl and the you will see. Until then cool off and don't pop a blood vessel in your neck b/c it's not that serious.
First, I have been camming for 3 years, .
Secondly, I have been affiliating for 3 years.
SO unless you have done any affiliate work, then you might want to erase everything you said.
I don't approve applications.
I have to convince guys that YOU are worth seeing. Thats not easy, when some girls dont have the best personalities.
And if the word SHIT bothers you, log off.
LAying on your back with a dildo stuck in your twat is not hard at all.
try doing some back end work and see what you can come up with.
Until then don;t try to insult me.
Bless your angry heart.
Affiliates dont cut into your bread and butter. We send you traffic so that you have butter to put on your go damn toast.
To damn arrogant for me!
FINALLY, you dont have to be on streamate. You choose to. #HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Excuse me aren't you a newbie? You signed up here this month. Actually I've been here over a year but just under another name and I rarely post under this newer name. It's so funny how when someone posts something that's agreeable here then the person's newbie status is irrelevant but when otherwise then it's a problem. Would it make you feel any better if I was around a few years? Regardless if I'm new or a vet I still feel the same way.
Let's not argue, that's not the point of this thread. The OP broke the rules and was punished, plain and simple. Please don't call us mean for pointing that out and telling you you're lucky your account wasnt closed, because that does happen.
