why dont i have a gold show option
i just started on SM bc i wanted daily pay and i dunno how to make gold shows... i hope im not just being dumb about it.
... my room doesnt have so many ppl in it wtf, i thought sm was big for traffic.
someone asked me "will you squirt in a cup and then drink it" i said no. then everyone left my room..
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
Every Thursday the system detects models with a high quality stream, use of encoder and a 4.5 star rating or higher.
Those accounts are given gold shows.
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
This topic has been discussed a lot but here's my experience:
I was nagging them to enable gold shows and lying that I use the encoder even though I wasn't using it (I thought I'm so sneaky :D) but then I started actually using the encoder and like 3 days later I got gold shows enabled. ~Le Fin~
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
I told all my custies that asked for gold shows that I didn't have them yet and if they wanted me to do a gold show to email SM support and tell them to give them to me.
Much to my surprise, custies did and now I have gold shows enabled.
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
is there a spot to sell sexually explicit photos on sm? im not seeing the option... know other cam sites do so im sure sm does..
and the encoder really does drive traffic up right?!!
thanks for the help!!!
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
out of 5.
I dont think so, if there is its not widely used.
The encoder is one of the keys for success on SM.
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
Trust me you don't want gold shows. I was in the first group to try it (actually I think I was second group as they emailed me asking me to try it a few days after some people placed higher then me got it) and used it on and off for about a month or two. I can't tell you how many times I had to cancel for not meeting the goal. I have good traffic and good regulars. However I began to find that I literally had to BEG for pledges and entertain in free and cancel constantly. Sorry but I don't do begging and pandering to guys looking for a cheap show or freebie seekers. I peek in to other people's rooms and see girls doing gold shows constantly giving into guys commands like "stand bb" or "show that ass bb". Don't get me wrong I am not exactly a prude (often times I will sit around topless), but you will never see me pandering to guys who want to command me around in free chat without a tip. When guys enter my room and say things like "shake that ass" or "bend over" I tell them straight up to tip something first. I may be topless and more kinky then some people can handle, but fuck you if you try and tell me what to do in free chat...put up or shut up.
And besides I found that most of the guys that actually did go for my gold shows were already customers. Quite frankly I would like to use the feature more often only because of them, its a nice treat for the real guys and let's not forget they are not walking ATMs (no pun intended). But unfortunately all the freeloaders and girls that pander to them ruined it for the real customers.
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
This has been discussed a few times before. It's kind of hard to use the new search function so here's a tutorial on how to use it:

Here are some relevant threads I found searching for "want gold shows" "get gold shows" "SM gold shows" and "gold shows"

I also found a bit about the "gold club" on SM, where you can sell photos:

There are also tooooonssss of threads on how to make gold shows work or why people hate gold shows.
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
i begged for gold in my last show. I was kind of being sarcastic about it and a couple people threw me pity gold. I still didn't meet my goal. I told my room that the verdict is that gold shows suck. One person chimed in and said i should try it at night when there are more people on but meh.
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
you can also sell pics through the SM message feature, just attach a photo/s w/the message you wanna send to the guy, you can sell those for gold on SM.
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
I have been camming since October and still dont have goldshow approval. I have 5 stars, always use the damn encoder..and never get it..fuck sm
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
I just emailed and asked and I got them but I have just about a perfect 5 star rating too.
As far as whether gold shows suck or not.... I am meh on the issue.
Last night I only worked 2 hours and made 80$, 30$ was from privates and 50$ was from gold shows. I only had to cancel once. They are kinda hit or miss for me tho.
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
I started doing gold shows when they first came out too. At first it was great. I could charge $10/10min with a $150-$200 goal and make it one the first try (or almost always on the first try). When more and more girls started getting them and charging a lot less and the guys forgot about how it was before GS and having to pay $5/min it became harder. I was still making pretty good money per hour. I did cheaper shows that weren't hardcore so that I could offer a $3 show. I never took privates.
Then in December, I started to get tons of privates. Like, before I could even start a countdown I'd get a request for a private. I rode that for a while and maintained the same hourly as I was making with gold shows (which was a pretty decent average). I had thought that privates were more work because I had to perform the whole time, never knew how long they would last, etc. But after I started doing privates again, I realized how tiring it was to get a room hyped up for a gs countdown. I realized how hard I had to hustle for my gs goal. I've tried doing gold shows a couple times in the last 2 weeks since it's been slow. My room count will triple or quadruple when I start a countdown but even with a $80 goal (for a softcore show), I couldn't get half. A lot of times if I didn't make it on the first try, I'd make it on the second try but I just haven't had the patience for it lately.
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
I told four different guys on cam today "Oh, I don't have gold shows yet, but email Streamate support and ask to enable them for me!"
I guess someone(s?) did because not two hours later: email from Streamate saying I have gold show capabilities. And I'm super new on this profile.
So if you want gold shows, email Streamate ... or make your minions do it!
Re: why dont i have a gold show option
@ Calico are you making money doing gold shows?
