    I use the FMLE too and my placement is in the first or second row of page 1 at all times even when I take weeks off. I hate the broadcaster new and old and it hates my laptop so we have mutually decided to break up and I will be sticking with the FMLE until the SMB stops killing my CPU and computer in general.

    Some guys will sit and wait for you, but most leave because they can't see anything. You can always tell because you'll have a room full of guys, then once you hit that break button they disappear like magicians. They can't see shit.

    I also revert my cam or leave the room. If I'm doing a skype show, I'll log off SM. If it's another show, I'll use the other cam and revert/mute the SM one while in break mode. Either way, they all tell me it says I'm on break.
    Thanks for clearing that up for me. Gonna try using it when I split tonight and see how it goes.

    Question: Do we by chance get a commission if a model signs up for sm from our cammodel link? or if they sign up with our whitelabel?

    You get 20% I believe for the length of their new model status (I think) but they would have to fill out the form with your SM name on it in order for you to get the commission. I wish it was for the life of the model but it's only for a few weeks unfortunately. I'd email Liz to double check.

    This. I've been on SM since 2009, never splitcammed it. But lately, I've been thinking about it a lot, despite not being good at multitasking (I do have a spare camera and my computer/bandwidth specs would certainly allow it).

    Did you guys notice with the new feature guys can kind of pop out our video. So basically they can multitask and have a video window open while looking at other things. Interesting...

    Also, you guys see that FMLE got an update to 3.2? I tired to use 3.1 and it just wasn't working for me for some weird reason. Went to uninstall and reinstall and saw the update. I couldn't find 3.1 so I gave 3.2 a shot and I love it with Opera seems like I wasn't having as many in & outs and didn't notice any user connection lost. A guy that's regularly in my room did tell me that it's still glitchy if he uses his phone but was fine on the computer.

This HD is so clear it is hard to not be self-conscious about everything , all the time.
    Edit: I did try Abobe a long time ago ( after switching to the new broadcaster) and my position did drop a few rows. You are making me want to try it again but I will resist the urge.
    How do you know what your placement is?

    So just so you know, SM will NOT always raise your rate.

    I haven't been on a lot in many months for health reasons & they refused to raise it, but since I raised it to $5.99, I haven't received one pvt so I lowered it to $4.99.

    Today everyone has been CHEAP. 3 gold for pussy? LOL, yeh right.

    And I can't do gold.

    They won't give me gold. They keep lying & saying the computer decides when to give models access, but that's BS. I used to be with Internet Modeling & I got gold within a month. I've had my own SM account now for around 1.5 years & while recently I haven't been on a lot, when I first got the account I was on all the time almost every day for hours.

    Hmm that is weird. I started in Oct they unlocked exclusive very quickly and upgraded my rate ceiling pretty quickly. Then one request sent to support and had gold show. So about 7 or 8 days total. Not sure why they wouldn't want to enable you to make more money. How are your ratings from the report? Like fps and what not?

    I don't generally have streaming problems , but I downloaded the new encoder tonight and something is really wrong. I virtually never experience tech issues but tonight I was pixelated, people kept saying I was freezing, no one could get into private/exc, c2c wasn't connecting, etc all after I downloaded the new encoder. As a result, I stayed on several hours and only made 20% of my usual hourly. This was after last week being one of my highest average hourly earnings in the five years I've been on sm. I'll try my next shift without it, but hopefully it gets figured out. Would not recommend!

    Have any of you ladies tried the new SM Broadcaster they are pushing? if so how do you like it? I am still using Encoder- is it as good or better? I am wondering if any benefit to using it? ( easier maybe) or should I just stick with encoder until they work all the possible bugs out maybe? Thanks in advance!

    Just go back literally a page or 2 back and you will see thoughts on the new SM Broadcaster or here https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...ng-site-issues

    A lot of people hate it....Some like it....Me? I haven't and won't be using it because the first one took up to much cpu and from what I gathered, it's still an issue with the new one.

    My experiences with the fmle vs the sm broadcast are based on guests logging in at my freechat (numbers and how quick I see member logging in) & based on my earnings (which in my opinion are the most important)

    I can figure out what my placement is by asking a random dude in my freechat (some are kind enbough to tell you, or even take a screenshot which is awesome) what my placement is or another model

    I've only ever been able to cam part time because I have other part time jobs and they help to keep me sane and not feel burnt out on camming. But this month I've decided to try to push my camming hours a little more and am weirdly excited to see my time online (hours/month) number increasing. My Time Online section of SM's ranking page has always been "Poor". I know that 90 hours a month is something I'll never be able to do so I'll never have an "Excellent" ranking. Could someone who cams full time tell me the stages between "Poor" and "Excellent"? I'm hoping to at least reach the stage beyond "Poor", but it would be nice to have some goals to shoot towards.

    I had to take off some time for Christmas. I started with "poor" somewhere around 50 hours a month I think? I'm at 60 hour per month right now and it says "below average". I will let you know the next time it goes up to another level, I can't remember what the ones were between there.

    I believe the scale is: Poor - Below Average - Average - Good - Excellent

    Tried it today for the first time. Used fewer cpu's than the previous model and spikes way less. I actually love the layout. My only complaint so far is that the c922 webcam still won't function at 30fps at the 1280 calibration on the encoder. I have c920's that happily go to 30fps at the highest calibration though, so I feel kind of stuck using them at times.

    How do you ladies manage to financially plan with such inconsistent numbers or am I the only one with drastically varying paychecks. I usually cam 20-25 hrs a week but my pay will fluctuate from 250-900 from week to week and everything in between. It's maddening trying to set a budget lol.

    My numbers are never really inconsistent because I shoot for money goals instead of hourly. I know I need XYZ per month to sustain my lifestyle and I charge and hustle accordingly. I know rent is X per month, every month no matter what. Once you grasp that, you tend to place your hustle around it. Your mind creates a schedule/budget for ex: like, the 1st is on a Friday, okay, I have 3 weeks to hustle all of my eggs and 3 paydays before the 1st gets here, etc.

    I'll choose a daily goal ($350 for example) for x days a week, and I'll stay on until I make it. I noticed if I hustled all of my eggs, I usually hit over a certain threshold which resulted in me choosing my daily goal. Once you know how you hustled those decent/good days, you just follow the recipe until it becomes your average.

    I add other streams of income like other cam sites, phone sex, texting, and independent cam, phone, text, and custom videos and charge higher prices. I work all eggs at once and again, don't log off until I've made at least $350. Choosing a weekly financial goal ensures that I make a minimum goal, or more.

    I also like working for specific bills and items. Each time you log on you eat away at the goals you set for yourself. You're basically hustling until you get what you want for that day/time frame and don't log off until you get it. Works for me and I have $1,900 worth of bills each month.

    Feel free to join in the Hustler's Challenge in my siggy if you're curious or need encouragement with multiple streams of income. Also, search the forum about adding more eggs to your basket there are a few awesome threads on it. I know we're in the SM thread, but even on SM you can adopt the daily money goal approach if you figured out your hourly.

    I'm still trying to figure out a schedule. Due to family constraints I'm not able to cam whenever. It's so hit or miss. Sometimes days that are slow are banging. Other times days that are normally busy are dead. I've tried different times of day and it's just all over the plave. Then you get the "regulars" drop tons of cash when I first meet them for the first few weeks then just stop spending and hang out chatting with me. I'm not one to just kick them since they stopped spending as I'm hoping evetally will open up the wallets again plus they tend to keep me company when it's slow but I end up with a room full of "regulars" that shoot the shit for an hour or so then leave.

    I know Dave Ramsey has some advice about budgeting if your income fluctuates, but I don't remember exactly what he said. Might be worth looking up.

    My personal (ideal) system is to have a checking account that contains a full month's worth of expenses at all times. Obviously it's going to fluctuate because you always have money coming in and going out for bills and groceries and stuff, but the goal is that the balance stays around your monthly budget. If your account is low, you try to work hard and stick to your budget until the balance rises. If you have extra money in your account, skim it off and consider it your disposable income.

    Obviously, that's the very simple version, and you should also put a percent of your earnings aside for taxes and retirement, as well as keep a well-stocked emergency fund and some money set aside for irregular expenses that you only pay yearly or a few times per year.

    That said, if you start out each month with enough money to pay all your expenses for the month, your day to day fluctuations won't matter quite so much.
