Problems with Streamate Application.
Hey everyone! I started the initial signup with Streamate via their recruiting site, and was sent an email [by Vanessa] saying they would get back to me in 24 hours or so with additional application details. That was 6 days ago. How long did you other Streamate users have to wait to get your profile active? I don't want to be pushy or spam them for answers! Advice?
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
It's been forever since I signed up with Streamate, honestly, so I don't remember the exact process. Two options that come to mind are a) checking your spam filter as the email might have ended up int here and b) try logging into Streamate at www.streamatemodels.com with the email and password you used to send in your initial application. If I remember correctly, you finish your application from that portal anyway.
If neither of these work, try emailing Vanessa. She's the model recruiter for SM, so it's her job. She won't be offended at all. Keep in mind that SM is located in Seattle, so their office is closed until 9 a.m. PST tomorrow and she isn't likely to respond before then.
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
The form on streamate recruiting now just asks for your basic information [age, name, stage name, gender, ethnicity, email, and how you heard about them]. There's no real sign up. After filling in those fields, I immediately received an email specifying that the application was being reviewed, and it should take up to 24 hours for them to send me another email with login information and a place to send my photo id. But it never came, and it's been 6 days. I also did send an email to Vanessa yesterday about the wait time and haven't heard anything back, so I figured they were just really backlogged? But does 6 days seems excessive?
is the website that I used.
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
wait a minute - I think this may be a studio - possible the worst one out there - do not log in !!!!! even if they do send you anything - you need to ask Vanessa if this is a direct account or a studio
my browser tab says--- I NT er net modeling - if it is them they are the WORST - do not send them anything else and if you already have since your post - DO NOT LOG IN
That studio does nothing for you but take your money and hold you hostage - if you log in you will have to wait one year of no working on SM to be released from them
this is not my area of expertise but it looks suspicious - better to be safe than sorry - you will regret signing with this studio so please take your time to be sure
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
I'm 99% sure this is Vanessa's direct link sign up. Vanessa is the major SM Model Recruiter for direct SM sign ups and not an actual studio owner (i.e., you still get the full 35% of your earnings signing up through her). When I pulled up her Twitter at twitter.com/sm_recruiter, the about me section for Vanessa lists the same link that Hally posted as being where models can sign up under Vanessa/SM. I do not think it's the dreaded IM cest pool.
However, to be safe, go with what Nikki said and wait to hear back from Vanessa. If you've already emailed her, she'll get back to you. You can try emailing her again if she doesn't or contact Liz instead ([email protected]), another higher up in model support at SM.
Summer is starting and that means all the college girls are out looking to make money. I imagine there's going to be an influx of new models.
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
Sheesh! I hope not!
The email I got has links to the Streamate Twitter, Facebook etc, and has an email address to direct questions which is [email protected].
If this is a sketchy studio they are making a helluva good con because it looks pretty legit.
To be safe, would anyone mind sharing the website [or whatever] you used when you signed up? If Streamate offers incentives to models to sign up new models, you could send me your link and I'd use that! I don't mind helping out if it means not signing with a studio!
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
I went and looked at her twitter and the links and it does look legit - I just freaked out when I say the - forbidden words on my browser tab -- better safe than sorry - I would contact her tomorrow - that amount of time with no response is not unreasonable for you to follow up --- I would just be sure to double check that you are not signing into a studio
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
Direct sign up is done at www.streamatemodels.com. Like I said, the link you used seems to be legit, but safe and sorry and all that jazz. You can try filing another application through this link and see if it goes through faster.
I'm realizing that part of the reason it may be taking you a bit longer is because of the holiday. You said it's been six days, so I'm guessing you signed up around Friday? No one was back in the office until yesterday morning, so it may just be a massive back up. Also, I think Vanessa personally does the account approval for girls who sign up under her link as you did (not 100% certain on this at all, so could totally be wrong) and that might be adding to the back log.
Vanessa should get back to you, so I'd recommend being patient until she answers your email. Assuming you did already start an application with SM and not a studio (seems you didn't accidentally get into studio hell), the system will already have your email in it as well as some info, so trying to make another account at the link I just gave you could cause some trouble for the system or support down the road (they close accounts if a model has more than one, even by accident). Soooo, yes. Patience, grasshopper.
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
I signed up on Thursday and have only just had my Streamate agreement approved but nothing else. I didn't realise it was a holiday there is the US too (I'm in UK) so I guess it must be why it's taking a while.
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
Hello
I sighed up ages ago but through the streamate site itself and got approved within 24 hours from what i remember,but I closed that account to open up a new one through dailypay recently and still got approved quite quickly,dailypay is awesome and they only take min % after streamate have taken their share so you still don't loose out much

Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
I just signed up with SM and had to wait 5 days.
Inside the control panel was quoted that they need up to 5 days (business days?) for approval.
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
Thanks for the replies, everyone!
I'm feeling way better about this now. I did over 2 months of research [looking here and at ambercutie forums, researching tax laws, spending time on mfc, sm, chaturbate, lj etc to see how it's set up, and who pays what %, paying for exclusive chat time with models to ask how their experience has been and how they hustle etc] And now that I've finally got all the equipment and info, I'm ready to dive in asap! And instead, I get crickets lol. I'm anxious to start.
This site has been an ENORMOUS help for me, and I lurked a LOT, and I've never had a question I could no find the answer to here! So thanks to all the models who take time out to post info for the newbies because it's helped me a lot!
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
Follow up and let us now how this works out - and hope you stick around SW
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
Still no reply from application or follow up :S
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
I completed my application on Monday 25th and was approved to stream earlier today, though I signed up direct with streamatemodels.com rather than Vanessa's link. Maybe that's why it takes a little longer for you? If Vanessa goes through everything before support get their hands on it? I dunno.
I feel your pain, the first time I ever signed up I had to wait much longer due to a weekend and also a holiday. Then when approved I had builders/decorators in my house (literally -- not a metaphor for my period) and couldn't work. Your patience will pay off and you'll love it.
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
My Aries temper is not great with the radio silence, lol. I just said fuck it and made a profile with streamate directly. I cannot believe how far/much information I could send in for review compared to the other site. Ridiculous. My whole profile is filled in now and I have pics uploaded to the gallery and set my prices and everything, just waiting for everything to be reviewed and approved... again, lol.
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
When I created a couple account with my ex, it took 3 weeks to get activated because they were behind. I emailed Liz and Vanessa both about it. They told me sadly I have to wait. Early summer they get a lot of new models, mind you.
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
We've been expediting most applications lately because of the delays, though if we don't its still under 2-3 days. There were times it was taking up to 2 weeks, and brief times when it was taking just an hour normally.
Re: Problems with Streamate Application.
Oh Jeez. Still no email from Vanessa but the application that I sent in YESTERDAY via the Streamate website was approved today. Less that 24 hours!
Either way, I am now a happy girl!
Thanks everyone for the advice and the support!
