Re: Streamate has me crying!
I'm not on SM, but from what I hear January has been slow on that site.
Do you have a back up site you can work on?
Re: Streamate has me crying!
I have imlive and adultwork...but I don't really know how to work adultwork to get more men to my room
Re: Streamate has me crying!
Did you just started working on SM when you were making $100-200+? I'm asking because sometimes you make more in the beginning because you're new, you're a novelty then the newness wears out then you gotta pick it back up. It's okay to cry. We all have been there.

Re: Streamate has me crying!

Re: Streamate has me crying!
Today was my first "day". I was on for about 30 minutes with no tips and not very much conversation... Guys were just in and out mostly... Maybe I picked a bad time... But we all have bad days and with the economy we really gotta be on our hustle! You'll make it!! <3
Re: Streamate has me crying!
Streamate has been on the slower side this month. Stick it out and it will get better!
Do you do gold shows? I haven't had near as many privates lately, it's been probably 80% gold shows.
Re: Streamate has me crying!

I've been camming since September 2012 so almost 5 months
Re: Streamate has me crying!
Well I have only gotten on cam once so far this week. Was online for 3 hours Monday, made a whopping $24. I have made more money this week from my cammodels referrals, which is in the ball park of $150 so far this week. I honestly cannot wait for the day when I can make 500+ just from referrals and only do occasional webcam shows.

2 funny .Thank u so much for that ,i needed it :)
Re: Streamate has me crying!
OP, I had the SAME PROBLEM last week, then this week it picked up again. Stay tough!
Re: Streamate has me crying!
It seems that if I don't get on at certain times, I'm pulling teeth. Also, if I wasn't so ...out there...I'd probably have a super hard time.
For me I suppose it's not so bad because I switched to SM from a site that sucked way worse than SM on a shitty day. I'm making way more and spending way less time online. Which means I need to get my ass in gear. Especially with my website.
I missed getting on at my regular time this evening due to a massive headache and awoke waaaaay too late. I had one guy who saved my night and helped me make near my average which I had to even LOWER my price because guys were piling in my room and not saying a word. That's abnormal for me. Oh pft.
Re: Streamate has me crying!
You don't need an i7. That's what SM said but you really don't. It doesn't hurt to have it but I have the Mac Pro i5 and its great!

Marina is right.. I actually have two laptops, an i7 and an i3, and I use the i3 for Streamate and virtually never have problems. The i7 I only use for video/photo editing for sites I sell on, playing games, and surfing the internet, etc.
It really just depends on what else is running in the background of your laptop... they can bog down your internet and processor speeds, and take up temporary space on your much needed RAM.
That's why on the i3, I installed nothing but what I use for camming and a really good antivirus/anti-adware & spyware software. I also uninstalled all the crap bloatware that came with it because it can suck up system resources as well.
Re: Streamate has me crying!
Yeah you don't need an i7... use the encoder, on the lower quality settings if you have to. It will make a huge difference.
Re: Streamate has me crying!
I've been slack and haven't really gotten on much this week but I'm feeling you. Something I've found to be working for me is type to the guys equally as much as talking if not more. Even if they want your life story I still answer their questions here and there and be nice for the most part - that extra couple minutes for typing to them is getting me privates. Maybe less guys are using sound these days? IDK how you ladies do but I'm getting 10 or sometimes less than 10privs in 4/5hrs on a weeknight and that *just* gets me to my goal, but on the weekends it's WAY busier. Not being able to work weekends affects my pay a lot. Always use the encoder even if it's sometimes choppy. No encoder = $0 pretty much :(
Re: Streamate has me crying!
Are you sure your HD button is showing? Fixing that helped me a lot! And yes, it is much slower this month. But it seems like that huge of an earnings drop has to be attributed to something...
Re: Streamate has me crying!
What is that something tho? Some say its the superbowl but for me camming across the board ( i work about 5 sites and jump aroound when its slow) has never gone back up from the holiday slump i started in november and for me everything is still stagnet as far as earning. it was said it would pick up in the middle of jan and jan is almost over and no change.

You don't NEED an i7 for Gold Shows. Are they enabled on your account? If they are, I would really consider trying them out and seeing how it works for you. You never know until you try.
Re: Streamate has me crying!
"It's slow this time of year" shouldn't be an excuse, in my opinion. It's one thing if you're taking a 1 or 2 week vacation from camming and are trying to decide when. But when you're camming on a 'free chat' site (such as Streamate), you're gonna have those awkward moments of *crickets* where it's quiet and the money is coming in slower. It SUCKS, but it doesn't mean you should log off for the rest of the day/night...especially if you've still got a whole hour left til your "shift" ends. At least when I log off early on MFC, I'm doing it to save my cam score. Sometimes on SM I'll be thinking to myself "OMG, where the fuck are all the horny guys with money?!," and then a guy with a number by his name (meaning he's spent on me before) will pop into my room, and I'm thinking "YAY!" LOL.
Re: Streamate has me crying!
I'm going to take a different tack here and say it can be a good idea to log off early, but only if you're doing it for the right reasons. SM has been absolutely dreadful for me over the last 3 weeks, last week I had a period where it took me 4 days to make $30. And while I've never been a high earner as a camgirl, I do have my limits. I refuse to work for minimum wage, for what I do I deserve more money than that.
So I've set myself a lower bound of what I feel is acceptable and if I'm making less than that after a couple of hours then I log off and forget about it for the day. And you know what? It works. And since then, my money is slowly but steadily improving and I'm not losing my mind from stress. Unless you're in a position where an extra $5-10 will make all the difference then I'd recommend doing the same. Because at the end of the day this method keeps me happy and positive and always ready to work each day.
I'd rather lose half a shift now because it's slow than a whole week because I'm too stressed to get on cam.
