    Default Boycaut Streamate!

    Do you think if we boycaut streamate and each send them a email as to why we could somehow get them to change the payout percent ,
    After seeing several posts , and a bit of a breakdown from them anyways
    i think something gatta be done.

    I mean as its been said before , we are there business
    and we bring there traffic.

    i know several girls who work there who are already discussing this
    i know its some of our main scorces of income , but the guiness whos running
    that site is getting way more then they deserve

    We have the power to change that site in any way we want
    Our pussys , and asses , and us taking the sexual mental abuse
    from there old broke pervert client base writes there checks..

    Mabey im just to critical , or to out spoken , but i cant be the only
    one here consideing this.
    Americanmade18 on most sites.

    Fuck that site, take the girls, and try to take the custs. Getting customers to not go there is how you will get attention. < If that can somehow be done.

    I would be down too, but honestly how many girls are working on there with that slave mentality? A lot of people are satisfied with the 35% and would just say that we are all complainers, and would not stand with us. This is not like the old days where Unions were forming and you got beat down for not joining. Although that would be nice

    I know I have some regs mailing me through SM asking me where have I been and I would sure like to tell them. I think this is a good idea but part of me also thinks with a steady flow of new girls in SM won't care to change anything.

    I get emailed all the time on streamate and imlive asking where I am. I have succeeded in converting some members to Niteflirt. I simply tell them if they want to find me, then search my model name on the major search engine. I sometimes worry about getting caught because I am not ready to completely let those sites go, but if I do get caught then oh well. There are too many sites out there to join and make money.

    spelt = english, spelled = US

    I sometimes wonder what cam sites profit margins are. Some may read about SM and think its 65% but SM may put 60% back into running/ads etc while other may put alot less. Im not saying they do put that much back I would just love to know how much they really do make, aw sm mfc lj imlive and all the rest.

    Yes, I agree Streamate should increase percentage for models. I only like that they protect the models against chargebacks.

    People are willing to eat shit for 35% because of TRAFFIC and thats the only reason, we ALL know that!

    Can people really think somebody else getting paid more than YOU on your own BODY is acceptable..?

    Yes I just read up on it, on yahoo answers! So looks like the British use spelt, while we Americans spell it spelled. So I guess in Canada too. My bad.

    But people arent getting paid more than you? For all we know 35% could be more than SM's profit. All im saying is this is business, if we want to operate in it then we pay the price.


    Normal successful business's operate on 20% margins, so 35% is well above average.

    We are self employed contractors.

    Another example is when you go to buy a tv at the store and pay $1000, the chances are the company is only making $200~ if they are lucky on it then they still have their overheads.

    You are not giving 65% to SM, you are giving it to your overheads.

    I agree. I think the main reason we are all there is because they do have awesome traffic. Paid awesome traffic, to be exact. Yes the potential to make a lot of money on streamate is there. However, WE are the sites money makers. Without the cam model, there is no cam site. How does streamate get paid if we all decide to strike against the 35% ??? At least raise it to 40%. I do understand they promote like hell. They DO deserve a cut, but they CAN do better.

    We all deserve more money, and happy with the site or not, we deserve more. This is how it is in every company. Adult or vanilla. Walmart is going through a huge controversy over how much they pay their employees, and the fact that it's hard to pay for health care with the low wages. Are some Walmart employees happy with the low pay? Yep! Would they be even happier with a better wage? Of course! So why sell yourselves short just because they made you happy.

    We are all suppose to strive for better in life, not just accept the scraps we're given.

    Unless we know the numbers I dont think we can say they can do better because we have no idea if they can or not, for all we know they could be on the edge of bankruptcy. Im not saying they are but none of us know anything about SM's balance sheet.

    PrinessJenny, you got a point right there. Can you imagine if they were on the edge of bankruptcy? About 4 years ago I had a sales job. One day I showed up for work and everyone was standing outside. The business had shut down and took all our last pay checks with them! That was a nightmare.

    I use to work for Laser Electrical in Northern Ireland. Its a high class business with high prices and people use to beg for discount. We use to sell lcd's for £400 and make only £2 while customers thought we were making the £400.

    Business is not for everyone.

    Oh, Laser Electrical went bust 2 years ago now by the way

    You can find lots of sites that pay more than 35%, but even 100 percent of nothing is nothing. Ifriends used to be the king of videochat but then other sites came along that actually advertise. They quit promoting the site and traffic died. Same with Camcontacts - great percentage, no traffic.

    Streamate has ads all over the place. They really do put money into the site and pour a lot into advertising.

    When is the last time you saw that many ads for a site that pays a really high percent? I would love to make more percentage but I make way way more per hour at Streamate than anywhere else and that is what counts for me.

    I don't want to spend my life here in front of my computer. I want to make good money and also have some time to have a life.


    Edited to add -- I also want to say I have NO sense of loyalty to any particular site, including Streamate. Business is business and if a site opened up that actually has traffic paying more percent, I'm there in a heartbeat!

    I've stopped working on Streamate...for now. I hate how the customers have a 24/7 customer service line and us models have to wait days for an email response.

    I also don't like the whole "30 seconds free" in premium chat shit. I feel a lot better putting time into a site like Adultwork and making nearly all my money, rather than thinking...."damn, that coulda been $1200." All while giving away free peep shows.

    The traffic is good but I have other options.

    I totally agree! I would be extremely happy with streamate on work on there every night if it wasnt for the freebie 30 seconds in private.
    On a camsite that has mandatory FREE camchat, there is no need or reason to give the customers freebie peeks in free chat. End Of.
    They need to lose that idea and lose it fast, the fistfuckers brag openly about being able to get off for free jumping private to private using the free time.
    I find it a humiliating and disgusting rip-off, and when I can, I block the guys that have done it to me.
    They need to get rid of the freebie peeking, and add a function to block members by username and then I will be back for 5 nights a week instead of 1 night a week.

    PS. I do promotions, and I CAN tell you, their overhead for that site is NO WHERE NEAR 65% of what they bring in. They are in the profit of OVER $1mill per week range Easily...

    There is NO site currently that offers a higher percentage with great traffic like that. Except MFC, and fuck that noise. I like to think that every person who sees my naked body for free is a thief, period.

    On AW, you can get the same amount - but your rates are lower. Yeah, I'm getting 70% of the .. what? 2.00 I'm charging? Same as the 35% of the 4.00 I'm charging.

    Either way, I'm not going to make ANY more money in this industry than what they want me to make- unless I go independent and wrangle my own traffic.

    Which I'm going to do.

    But the TINY drop in the bucket us SW girls are going to make will NOT change Streamate. There are oodles of girls to replace us. The same girls who don't mind stand up, show ass 360x an hour.

    Boycott is not going to work. Quit and go Independent is reasonable.

    But me? I'm going to work for my 35% and be just as sick as I am working for my 70%, while pimping my own self out on social networks to get my maximum allowable percentage independently.

    Yes, they definitely have the traffic. My trouble is, I can often pull loads of $ on Streamate but can go hours with nothing on MFC. I just can't afford to spend time without pulling in some reliable cash.

    I've seen hosts make TONS of money on there but perhaps I don't have the personality for MFC. There don't seem to be too many on there with dominant type personas and I have a tendency to do those types of shows. I enjoy being admired and it's quite difficult for me to play any type of submissive role. I end up wanting to reach through the screen and strangle them.

    I'm relatively new to sites with free chat, used to do private-only for years. I've been thinking of trying MFC yet again when I see all the $ some hosts pull, but I get so damn frustrated with all the beggars and idiots who make insulting comments I spend half my time on there banning people and don't end up with much cash.


    I remember you said you do promotions and have made a lot of cam-hosts successful but a host would need to live near you for photo shoots and things, correct? Any suggestions for those of us who could use a promoter for MFC but aren't close enough to you?
