    Angry Am I the only 1?

    Or one of the few or something?

    I'm heated

    As I kept working today, I noticed that my ratings on SM just kept going down. Apparently, some dudes are pissed because they'll pop in my group chat wanting the show I offer in 1-on-1 chat. It was getting out of control.

    Am I asking too much for them to read my profile before going private?

    They'll want a flash or whatever, claiming that it'll help them in their decision making, but it seems that it fails to cross their minds that much can be gathered by looking at the profile. I even have in my headliner for them to read my profile first before going in for a show.

    This week has been my first time steadily camming, I'm no quitter, but I'll shut it down if something doesn't work. I was just using this to help out with the cash flow as I'm building content, but now I don't know...

    Advice? Is there something I'm overlooking here?

    I know there's a thread around here about offering different shows for free (public), premium (private group) and exclusive (1-on-1) 'cuz I read it...

    I know that not every web chat host does the same thing. There's got to be some that do different things in different show settings, right?

    Same here. Part of this is Streamate's fault in my opinion.

    They have the choices mislabeled and misleading. Private is NOT private - it's group.

    Its men wanting more for less. A lot of these men have been on the site for a while so if they call it group or private they just want the extras for a cheaper price.

    exclusive is the 1 on 1, 'private' is the one where several guys can come in at once. Most girls set the private lower than exclusive, except when being strategic

    I started yesterday until recently I had a perfect 5 star rating, I got in an exclusive where a guy was barking orders and asked me to do somthing went to do it and he left. Guess I wasnt moving fast enough. Meh cant please them all hovering at 4.80. Unfortunately theres no pleasing some guys, sounds like your getting the worse ones. However im sure it will get better .

    I'm about to try strategic and make my group more expensive than exclusive, just to see if it makes a difference. I mean, the guys are going to pick the less expensive option, naturally. LOL.... Every now and then I will get a couple stay for a group show for a few minutes, but it's usually just one guy, even in group and I'd really like to cut down on the peepers..so I can't say that Premium/Group has been extremely profitable.

    It's just like the idiots on MFC who bitch when a model refuses to use toys in a group show (I always have group shows disabled on MFC). They wanna see you perform the cum show you'd normally do in private/true private, yet they wanna pay half the price just so their cheap ass can poke their head in for 10 seconds to watch the dildo go in your pussy real quick, and then leave.

    I'm having this problem as well. I do FinDom shows on there and most don't want that. They see my pic, enter my room when I'm in group private, then see that I'm not getting nude and then ask and yell what kind of show this is. Then when I tell them and that they should have read my profile before entering, they leave and then giving a 1 star rating. They punish us for their stupidity for not reading our profile! Such douchebags!

    Email I got from SM regarding ratings:



    "Everyone is a 4 when they start out - until they have a total of 5 paid
    and 5 guest ratings, which then show an average. The average looks at
    the last 90 days. We encourage performers to ask members to rate them -
    in guest and in paid.
    , the average will display as a 4 star until you've reached the minimum
    number of ratings, which is 5. It does not need to be achieved in the
    first 2 weeks - but the sooner you get them, the better for sure."

    May I make a suggestion? You will keep getting those 1 star rating there. Sm is more for girls that do vanilla shows. Two of my friends had the same problem you're having there and on imlive. You should contact findommes and ask them what they do. I knew a few that did chat on ifriends and rude.com. Maybe that'll work for you? However, If you're making a killing on streamate still.. stick with it and just tell them to shut the hell up.

    I'm diggin that I don't really like them poppin' in & out like that w/a few that stick around...Now that I think about it, your post reminded me that I don't even like doing group, I prefer 1-on-1. I do like doing public shows, like when I used to do them on Rude. It is about being strategic, kitty, I agree.

    I love this forum

    Hey girl, I wanted to let you know that I applied your strategy and not only did my score improve, but I made better money. At first, there was only 20 cent difference, but the next day I changed it to a dollar difference. It was even better! Now, I'm waiting on another account activation...
