Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I put a lot of hope into SM and was excited about camming, but is it still worth keeping an account? I don't get a response and at this point its a shot in the dark.

I think most girls who do splitcam with tv gold shows stop the stream on other sites while they hustle for tips. If the producers hear dings,bells and whistles say from MFC or CB during a show they could get mad about it.
At the time, I was only logged into Streamate. When I am doing countdown to gold shows, I logged off the other sites.

In the meantime you have a lot of retarded fish nibbling. Try not to give too much away, talking, dancing, teasing and sometimes responding to insults. Show something once in a while that might catch their eye then take it away doing this every 10min or so..if one thing doesn't work try something else. ( Find a good pose, something that will define your body and make you stand out) then its pretty much a waiting game..don't give up, there are plenty of big fish out there! It also helps to take notes and learn what their fetishes and key points are like, what games they like, how much they want something, what they request and how you can use that to your advantage. If you are already tired of sitting 6 hours waiting for a private you could try switching to MFC, but depending on what platform you prefer it may not be something you like.
I'm working MFC along with SM and I enjoy it. I've got a few long privates and a few good tipper/regulars already. It's nice to switch it up. There are different guys on MFC than on SM. If I'm on MFC for longer than 90 min with not much going on, I get on SM...couldn't hurt to try. It takes time for the good spenders to find you.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I posted this in the other streamate thread but maybe i'll post it here too:
Before I used to have an account on Streamate to tip cam models for their gold shows, or if their room was slow etc. But, not that I have a new account, I have noticed that if I am logged out, the gold show price might be "$3", but, when I log into my account the price might be something like "$5.03" or something like that. I was wondering if this change in the prices is now to compensate for the difference in currencies or something? Because, previously if a gold show was say....5 dollars, then It would tell me it was exactly 5 dollars. But now, the prices are raised, and I am assuming that is because I am in Canada? Anyone know if that is what is going on here? haha. Thanks!

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Putting in my "time" starting on a new site is still better than dealing with the shit I was putting up with on Streamate. I'm already having more fun, happier, and feeling less anxiety even making very little on a new site...because I know I will only go UP here, whereas on SM I was only losing income, placement...and patience.
Ladies, don't be afraid to walk away from your abusive relationship. It's always hard to walk away and it takes time to get back on your feet...but in the long run you will be much happier without your ex. ;)

The new site is a token site or private based like SM? I cant seem to appeal to token site members, my camming style is private oriented, i wonder what site u migrated to, i dont find the actual sites to fit my camming style tho i wish a new 'good' egg in my basket ... glad u found another source of income. I even get scared to splitcam after reading how people get suspended for no apparent reason....

Well, I went to a token site...Chaturbate to be exact. I can work whatever site I put my time into (as long as the site glitches and customers aren't working AGAINST me). You just have to go into it with an open mind and a will to make money.
So regardless as to which site I chose, there are plenty of other great sites out there that plenty of girls are making a living from. Streamate isn't the only fish in the sea...and it's not worth your sanity to stay somewhere you're miserable. At least that's the way I felt about it lol...trying to keep myself from going crazy!!

Thank you, yes CB seems like a good option when things are slow on SM and i can say for sure SM is not working (anymore) for a lot of models including myself; i tried MFC few years ago & it was a failure cause i did not know how to work that site, did not know SW back then, was 2011 i remember when i tried MFC, i got scared of token sites & got the idea in my mind i'll never make money on these sites but i think if i put my mind to making money i am sure i can make something even there.
I have an account on CB for a while now but just tested the site, never worked actually.
I think these sites, MFC, CB & other token sites are not to be split with SM but worked separately, right? I mean cause of the hustle type on each one... i only get naked in private on SM & i flash for gold, i dont do gold shows, can i work this hustle on CB too? I dont want to do public nude shows on CB.
Again, glad u found another money resource, indeed sanity is essential here xxx

Nope. Not true at all. You use the token sites for the conversation. Or any other site where guys interact. That's how you show off your personality and entice them to buy. Even the dumb dick comments turn into sales eventually. The current crowd on SM can watch you sell to guys elsewhere. Men who do talk and spend.

I have been camming on Streamate for a while and I have never had any issues making money on the site until these last couple of months. I actually find it terrifying that many girls are struggling. If it was just a couple of girls then I would not be worried but I when I hear top girls saying their income have declined I think it is time for me to transition to another site. With the glitches, dropped in traffic, decreased hourly income, empty room even though my placement is higher, and many other things.
If you are going to splitcam on SM, make sure you have another webcam so you do not get banned.

I just saw your response. And this is crazy and confusing for me. At what point did they cut you off? Before the show started? During the show? Or did you receive a message after the show? I'm sure they preferred we didn't splitcam but they know many of us do.

Looking at this chat log would make me go out of my friggin' mind while streaming!
Did you leave your 'User message alerts' showing so you could capture this chat log to post here?
Or, do you purposely choose not to 'Hide' these free chat alerts?
I see no reason to look at all that pop-in, pop-out of people who aren't, or can't stay in my free chat for whatever reason.
All I want to know is who IS in my room right now.
I want to see only who is in my room and chatting.
In the 'Settings Tab' I always choose to place 'User message alerts' to Hide.
I do what I can to prevent my nerves from fraying, and removing all that unnecessary "logged off, logged on" from free chat helps me stay calm & focused.

I started MFC cause SM has been slow. It's complicated. Ugh. All of these PMs popping up. People asking if I Skype. Ugh. Why can't the sites be as simple as SM. No outside contact!

Point is, i dont want SM guys (members or SM staff) to figure out i split plus the SM guys wont take me pvt anymore or tip me if they see for free when i show all goodies to CB guys, these are my concerns; that's why i say i should not mix SM with a token site cause the hustle on each is different, i really dont wanna kill my SM ranking, placement & reputation lol.
Anyway, will figure things out here, i just dont understand why SM is not giving the placement bonus yet to the ones who use the new 720HD settings, i really cant split with THESE settings cause my pc wont handle it, i have an i5 desktop pc, 4G Ram & 1G video card but if i stream on SM with the adobe encoder (cause they did not offer me the SM broadcaster here) using manycam & i try another site i just cant keep up with SM anymore, my bitrate drops, it's dropping sometimes not even splitting but if i split it's starting to drop right away.
I have the best connection i can get here & that's the equipment i can work with so i need to either work a site at a time or lower settings on SM which i dont like but it's taking them forever to sort things out & give models the SM broadcaster and placement bonus.

I started working on CB splitting with SM, I don't get naked on CB unless its in a private and I put in my message that I take privates or groups only. I only flash for gold on SM and have asked for tips for flashing on CB as well.
I just started so not sure how others do it. I just dont get the point of fucking myself in free chat on any site. And as I was watching some on CB today, I don't get it, they are literally fucking themselves, someone else or whatever, for free, I dont see how only 50 tokens or 100 tokens is enough to do all that :( but that's just me

Yes Tina, that's one of the concerns i have myself regarding CB, i wonder how good i could do on such site when all the rest offer all that things for soo little, i mean maybe people would laugh about me, telling me i'm kidding when i ask for money for a nude show or flashes; i am not even a sex bomb but a mature average looking curvy woman, i am not everyone's taste u know, my clientele is fetish guys & some vanilla guys, nothing extreme or extraordinary.
If that guys on CB are used to free shows, how would they pay me as i show nothing for free lol?!
Wish u good luck & pls report back if it's ok with u, i am curious how it'll work for you, hugs xxx

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I'm having much more traffic tonight but almost all of it is shit traffic, sub guys trying to get dommed for free and balking when I mention exclusive, or guys popping in and out... excluding my (best paying) regular who stayed and stared at me in silence for like an hour.
You know someone's a fake sub when you tell them to go exclusive and they still keep blagging on.

Yes, you make an excellent point! I used to feel that way with sites like MFC and ImLive. I felt that if IML guys knew they could go to MFC and watch me get topless/naked (on someone else's dime), they'd probably just do that for free instead of pay per minute to take me private. So yeah, I could definitely see why you'd want to keep it on the hush that you're on other sites.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
After my first night back on SM, I'm frightened for the first time. I made $13 in 4 hours and that makes me wonder if I shouldn't abandon SM and put my new girl time into a new site... I'm like KatM, I'm a private based girl, mostly fetishes involved, and I just don't have the personality to hustle a token site. I'm quite, shy, but that comes across as kinda bitchy on cam (well, IRL too, lol) so people take me as a dom right away and I play with that... But with SM's crappy traffic (I had like 3 guys even TALK to me last night) and getting disconnected every 20 minutes, it's hard to put faith in SM anymore. :( Eeeeeeek, what to do?!

There is a way you can disable pms and what really helps is talking to everyone in the chat, not typing.
